Gu Xiuxiu felt that what she said made sense: "Buying stocks of large companies is relatively safe, but in addition to buying houses and stocks, I also want to make some other investments."
Lu Jiaxin's heart moved: "Aunt, your idea is right, eggs should not be put in one basket. I have a business that is sure to make money, I wonder if Aunt is interested."
Gu Xiuxiu smiled. There is no such thing as a business that is guaranteed to make money. However, in order not to discourage Lu Jiaxin, she continued the conversation: "What business? Tell me about it."
Lu Jiaxin said, "Antique business. Aunt, in Beijing, a jade ring used by a former prince only costs two hundred dollars in antique shops, but it can be sold for twenty to thirty thousand Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong. Aunt, you are not short of money now, and these things have great appreciation potential, so you can collect them."
Gu Xiuxiu was surprised: "Are antiques in the mainland so cheap?"
Lu Jiaxin said: "Prices in the mainland are low, and many people have difficulty making ends meet, so antiques and calligraphy and paintings are not worth much. As a result, some people buy antiques in large quantities at low prices and sell them abroad. Ordinary antiques are sold, but it is a pity that some precious cultural relics with research value are stolen and sold."
Gu Xiuxiu is old and doesn't want to take risks. Prices are rising sharply now, and she is worried that if she doesn't make some investments, she won't be able to maintain her current comfortable and decent life. She was very confident in the property market, but after a sharp drop, she felt uneasy. As for stocks, they are even more unsafe, and she doesn't know how many times they have plummeted. With the previous bloody lessons, she will buy some, but never too much.
Thinking this way, buying antiques and collecting them for appreciation is indeed the safest way. In troubled times, gold is more valuable than in prosperous times, antiques, she understands this principle.
Gu Xiuxiu said: "You need someone who knows the business, otherwise you will lose a lot if you receive fake goods."
Lu Jiaxin felt that this was not a difficult task at all: "Aunt, don't open a shop in the old city to collect it. You need a good background to open a shop anywhere. You can find someone to go to your hometown or Luoyang to collect it. I guarantee that you will receive satisfactory old items."
According to the information Su Heyuan gave her, Gu Xiuxiu donated money and materials during the Anti-Japanese War. With her around, Gu Xiuxiu's future investments will not go wrong, and she will not sell antiques abroad if she is not short of money. As for her life a hundred years later, we will talk about it a hundred years later.
Gu Xiuxiu nodded and said, "I'll ask someone."
After many experiences, Gu Xiuxiu deeply understood a truth: no one can be trusted, only the money in your hand is the most reliable. It is also because she has money that she can live so comfortably even without children, and no one can stop her from bringing her nephew and granddaughter over. If she had no money and had to rely on He Zhuliang for support and had to look at his face, how could she dare to bring the younger generation to her side.
Lu Jiaxin herself opened an antique shop through Master Qian, but she has never visited it. However, after selling the shares of Aimego, she will buy the other two houses of the Sun family. She asked Master Qian to keep the precious antiques in a secret place.
The next morning, Gu Xiuxiu gave Lu Jiaxin a card and said, "You just arrived, let Mei Gu accompany you to buy some new clothes. This is the secondary card of my bank credit card. You can swipe it directly after buying things. The password is my date of birth."
Lu Jiaxin refused, saying that she had money.
Gu Xiuxiu stuffed the card into her hand and said, "Don't take that girl's words to heart. Since your aunt has brought you and Haifan here, she will naturally take good care of you. Take it. We women have to dress up beautifully every day, not for those stinky men, but to make ourselves happy."
Gu Xiuxiu realized that she had said something wrong and quickly turned back to the previous topic: "Not only should you buy a few more sets of clothes, but you should also buy skin care products. You don't have to wear makeup at your age, but you still need to take proper skin care. Remember to buy big brands, those products are effective and have few side effects. In the future, when you buy things, remember that things are expensive for a reason."
Many girls like to go shopping, and Lu Jiaxin is no exception, but that can only be with her bestie or friends. What's the point of going shopping alone? It's so sad to be alone.
In Hong Kong, Lu Jiaxin only knew Su Heyuan, and the two of them happened to have dinner together. She smiled and said, "It was early in the morning, and many stores in Central Plaza were not open yet. Aunt, I have an appointment with Brother Su for dinner this afternoon, and I will go out in the afternoon."
Gu Xiuxiu didn't object, but she still reminded Lu Jiaxin: "Su Heyuan is capable and skillful, but he is also cunning and ambitious. No one in the third generation of the Su family can match him. You can be friends with him, but you can't go any further. The father and son of the Su family's eldest branch have contacts with some people in the society. If you can't deal with Su Heyuan, it will be dangerous if he turns around and deals with you."
Lu Jiaxin was a little helpless. Many girls in Hong Kong start dating when they are fifteen or sixteen years old, and her aunt is old-fashioned. She said, "Aunt, I won't date before I graduate from college. As for getting married and having children, I have to have my own career at least."
Gu Wenfeng also said something similar. We haven't been in touch since we broke up. It's been almost a year. Time flies.
Gu Xiuxiu smiled and said, "Don't date before you get into college. You can still date when you meet a guy you like after you get into college. As for getting married, it's not too early. If you have your own career, your husband and his family will respect you."
Lu Jiaxin felt that her thoughts were still relatively conservative. Yes, women of that era all believed that women had to get married, otherwise their lives would not be complete.
At noon, Lu Jiaxin called Su Heyuan: "Brother Su, when will you get off work? I asked the driver, it takes more than an hour to get here from your company. Don't come to pick me up, it's a waste of time, I'll ask the driver to take me there."
Su Heyuan smiled and said, "I don't have anything to do right now, why don't I go pick you up right now. You just arrived in Hong Kong City and don't have many things, I'll take you to the mall to buy them."
When he entered his family's company, Su Hexu and his son were wary of him like a thief. At first, he wanted to compete for it, but after entering the company and getting to know it better, he no longer wanted to compete. Just because he didn't compete for the company didn't mean he would do nothing.
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Why are you saying the same thing as my aunt? Come back at two o'clock. I need to sleep for a while, otherwise I won't be energetic in the afternoon."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Jiaxin went upstairs, took out a pen and paper, and wrote down everything she wanted to buy. Although her memory is very good now, it is not as safe as writing it down in black and white. After unloading all the things she wanted to buy, she put down her pen and thought about what happened in the morning. It is best to ask professionals about investment, so how can she ask her? Apart from making a fortune by making shoes, she has not done anything else. Unable to figure it out, she gave up.
