Chapter 224: Going to Beijing and then to Shanghai...
Chapter 224
Lin Mujin and female security guard Xu Tong stayed at the Yanjing Hotel when they arrived in Beijing, and asked for a double room.
After a night's rest, Xu Tong went to look for a chartered car, still a van, but the driver was not Yang.
Having a car is much more convenient. They went to Moxuan Pavilion to find Master Qin, and then went to find Mr. Jin, who invited them to eat at Donglaishun. Both old men love hot pot.
During the meal, Lin Mujin poured wine for the two of them, using those tiny pocket-sized wine cups, so she didn't dare let them drink too much.
"Master Qin, Mr. Jin, I'm back to buy some old stuff this time, and I'd like to trouble you for help."
Master Qin took a sip of his wine and asked, "Miss Lin, do you also want porcelain and paintings?"
Lin Mujin said, "Yes, I want the four treasures of the study and the jewelry."
He turned around and asked Mr. Jin, "Grandpa, none of your old friends want to sell anything yet. As long as it's a good item, I will definitely pay a high price."
Mr. Jin narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes! Wait for me to contact you."
Lin Mujin also talked to the two about going to university in Hong Kong. It was not possible for the time being, but she would arrange for them to find a job in Hong Kong.
The two old men were naturally happy to receive this promise, and they patted their chests and promised to do their best.
Afterwards, Lin Mujin gave the two some small gifts brought from Hong Kong.
After dinner, I sent the two of them back and went to find Master Lei again. He had a lot of old wood furniture, so I ordered them directly.
That’s not all. I went to several commission stores and ordered a lot of good furniture.
In the next three days, Lin Mujin bought a lot of things and spent more than 200,000 yuan.
The most precious one is Tang Bohu's "Setting Clouds and Solitary Wild Goose".
This is not cheap. I bought it for 20,000 yuan. Master Qin helped me to set up the wiring.
There is also a complete set of golden nanmu furniture, which is beautiful and dazzling. It was introduced by Mr. Jin.
This time we have a deal, a 3% agency fee, I can't refuse it.
Lin Mujin and Xu Tong registered all the treasures in detail, took photos, packed them in boxes, and sealed them with strips of old newspaper.
In this way, when the two trucks arrive, they can be loaded and transported away directly.
"Xu Tong, buy tickets to Shanghai. Our next stop is Shanghai." Lin Mujin had never been to Shanghai in the 1980s.
Be sure to take lots of photos.
Xu Tong immediately went to make arrangements.
Lin Mujin decided to give Comrade Xu Tong a five-star rating when she returned, saying that he was very proactive.
Before leaving, I had another meal with Master Qin and Mr. Jin. This time we had roast duck and made an appointment to see each other next time.
——————
Lin Mujin and Xu Tong checked into the Peace Hotel directly after arriving in Shanghai.
Shanghai has its own prices no matter what era it is. A double bed room costs 350 yuan a night.
Such large foreign-related hotels prefer to accept foreign currency rather than RMB.
They also ate at the restaurant that day, with dishes like Shanghainese smoked fish, local shredded eel, and crab roe tofu casserole...
The taste is really good, nothing wrong with it except that it's a bit expensive.
"Xu Tong, our first stop is Huaiguojiu." Lin Mujin directly determined the target.
But I also took a lot of photos along the way, all of which were of various buildings.
Really, every city has its own special atmosphere. Shanghai is definitely one of those cities with a unique temperament. Even the buildings are particularly charming.
Soon the two arrived at Huaiguojiu, and there were so many people!
She had found out clearly that Huaiguojiu was the largest second-hand consignment mall in Shanghai, and it also sold treasures seized from confiscated houses and those intercepted at customs. She came here just for this. As for best-selling items such as watches, bicycles, and tape recorders, she had no interest in them at all.
I couldn't wait to squeeze in.
Oh my god! A big diamond ring, or a pink diamond, buy it!
A pair of ruby earrings, buy!
Gold ring, forget it.
A sapphire ring, buy!
Buying jewelry in this way is actually not particularly cheap. At least it is much more expensive than those customers introduced by Mr. Jin who bought it all.
But the quality is better and the gems are bigger.
I have to say that there are really a lot of rich people and good things in the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
"Ms. Lin, we are being targeted." Xu Tong said in a low voice.
Lin Mujin looked around and didn't see any suspicious people, but she trusted Xu Tong's judgment very much, "Let's go back."
You only have one life, so safety comes first.
Go straight up to the second floor and walk towards the office area.
He was quickly stopped.
"Who are you looking for? This is the office area, outsiders are not allowed in."
Lin Mujin smiled and said, "Hello, I'm from Hong Kong and I'm traveling to Shanghai. I just bought some things, and my bodyguard told me I'm being targeted. I just wanted to talk to your manager."
The staff member probably encountered this for the first time and didn't know what to do for a moment. "Then...then I'll go ask the manager."
Lin Mujin took out a business card and said, "This is my business card."
Yes, she also has a business card.
Not only her, but also Cousin Lin, Cousin Lin and Li Xiuying now have business cards.
The staff member took the business card and walked towards an office while looking at it.
They came back soon, this time with two people.
"This is our Manager Zhao."
Lin Mujin took the initiative to extend her hand and greeted, "Hello, Manager Zhao."
Manager Zhao had obviously seen Lin Mujin's business card. "Hello, Miss Lin. Please come to my office and have a seat."
Lin Mujin naturally agreed.
After sitting down, he said, "I just bought some jewelry, which is a bit of a show-off. I want to ask Manager Zhao, do you have any more jewelry of this high quality?"
Manager Zhao asked, "Can you settle in foreign currency?"
Lin Mujin didn't expect him to ask this and was a little embarrassed. "I have some Hong Kong dollars, but I need them for the hotel, and I'm not allowed to bring too much money through customs."
Manager Zhao said, "You can transfer the money to the company."
Lin Mujin didn't expect it to be possible to do this. "That's no problem. But I'm a bit picky and have high standards."
That means you can get foreign exchange, but you have to get good goods.
Manager Zhao said, "We have a batch of good goods at the bank. Let's arrange a time to inspect them."
Lin Mujin said, "Okay, let's meet at the Peace Hotel, tomorrow morning at 9:30."
She gave her room number.
Manager Zhao added, "It's not safe for you to go back now. How about I contact the Public Security Bureau and ask them to send a police officer to take you back?"
Lin Mujin looked at Xu Tong and asked her to make the decision.
Xu Tong then spoke, "Then I'll trouble Manager Zhao."
When she took on this task, her boss repeatedly reminded her to protect the boss's wife.
Although she agreed to help Manager Zhao, it might be difficult to bargain during the subsequent transaction, but she still had to put the boss's wife's safety first.
Manager Zhao immediately made a phone call and asked the Public Security Bureau leader in a familiar tone to send a police officer over.
The police came over quickly. Lin Mujin stood up to say goodbye, and Manager Zhao sent her downstairs.
Xu Tong found a taxi, and the three of them got in and soon arrived at the Peace Hotel.
"Ms. Lin, don't be afraid. We have shaken them off." Because Lin Mujin looked out the window unconsciously, Xu Tong spoke to comfort her.
Lin Mujin finally breathed a sigh of relief and decided to leave after buying the jewelry tomorrow.
A daughter of a wealthy family should not sit in a dangerous position. She has finally become a wealthy first-generation person in this life, but she has not yet enjoyed it properly. She must cherish her life.
