Chapter 1004: Even More Awesome Than Winning the Lottery
"I picked them up at a discount." Gu Ning said, "I picked up a batch when I went to Hong Kong City before, so I brought them to Xiangyunxuan to sell."
Gu Ning naturally couldn't say that he was a tomb robber or that he had found the treasure. Although he knew that Cao Wenxin would not tell anyone, it was better for such an illegal thing to be known by as few people as possible.
There are many unfair laws in the United Kingdom of Emperor Pudongxia. Not to mention tomb robbing, just take the treasure you find abroad. If you pick it up, it is yours and has nothing to do with the country.
But in the United Kingdom of Dipudongxia, you must hand it in, and not handing it in is illegal.
Not to mention things that were picked up, even antiques heirloomed in ordinary people's homes would be defined as belonging to the country. This kind of behavior is simply robbery.
Therefore, even if the country's laws are unfair, Gu Ning does not have to respect them all. It is enough as long as she does not do anything that is against the law.
As for whether these antiques she owns will be reported or confiscated, she is not worried. She has the Leng family and the Tang family behind her, so who would dare to confiscate them?
"You are really good at picking up bargains. It's even better than winning the lottery." Cao Wenxin knew that Gu Ning had picked up a lot of bargains, but only Gu Ning had picked up so many bargains.
Gu Ning smiled but said nothing, because it was not easy to say too much.
After the opening of Xiangyunxuan, most of the antique shop owners in the antique street knew Gu Ning, so when they saw Gu Ning, they greeted her politely.
"Hello, Boss Gu."
"Hello."
Gu Ning also responded very politely.
What happened at the Tang family wedding was not spread much, so many people didn't know. Only a small number of people knew that Gu Ning was the daughter of the Tang family.
Although there was news online that Gu Ning was the daughter of the Tang family, it was not posted by any Weibo account with a large number of fans, so only a few people knew about it and it did not spread widely, let alone reach the Antique Street.
Business at [Du Ji Antique Shop] was very bleak. Du Laifeng's stepmother Li Fengxia leaned against the counter, staring at [Xiang Yun Xuan] not far away, her eyes full of envy and jealousy.
However, after knowing the identity of the boss of [Xiangyunxuan], she didn't dare to take any action against him. It was just that Du Laifeng was in charge there, which made her unhappy.
"Humph! This Du Laifeng is really lucky to have met such a powerful person." Li Fengxia said indignantly to herself: "If it is my store that he is interested in, that would be great. Business is so good. If he takes some money from me, he won't even know!"
Li Fengxia's mind is really impure. With her thoughts like this, who would dare to use her? As soon as she finished speaking, Li Fengxia felt Gu Ning passing by. She was startled and thought, could she hear what she said?
In fact, there was nothing wrong with what she said, but because she was afraid of Gu Ning, she subconsciously felt guilty.
Gu Ning heard it, but didn't care. To Gu Ning, Li Fengxia was just a stranger.
Li Fengxia heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Gu Ning walking by without any reaction.
[Du Ji Antique Shop] and [Xiang Yun Xuan] were only about ten meters apart, so after passing [Du Ji Antique Shop], Gu Ning quickly arrived at [Xiang Yun Xuan].
[Xiangyunxuan] has a few customers. Don’t underestimate them. There are a few customers, although they only come to see handicrafts, but the business is still pretty good.
Besides, there are not just a few guests a day, but these few guests come frequently.
Some stores have only a few customers throughout the day!
"Boss, you're here." Du Laifeng saw Gu Ning and immediately came forward, very enthusiastic.
Several guests who were looking at things heard Du Laifeng's voice and looked over. They were also a little excited to see Gu Ning, because Gu Ning was a big shot! How many ordinary people would not be excited to see a big shot! They greeted Gu Ning and said, "Hello, Boss Gu."
"Hello, take your time to look at it." Gu Ning also responded politely without any airs, which made them happy.
"Okay."
Several people responded.
At first, they were just looking around casually, but now that they had seen Gu Ning, they were so excited that they wanted to really buy it.
"I brought some things." Gu Ning said, motioning Du Laifeng to go in and take a look.
"Okay." Du Laifeng immediately led Gu Ning to the office.
Du Laifeng knew that Gu Ning would bring a lot of genuine items when he arrived, but when he saw them with his own eyes, he was still surprised.
Although Du Laifeng suspected that these things came from illegal sources, he would not have any thoughts even if they did. With Gu Ning's identity and personal connections, nothing would happen even if they came from illegal sources.
Du Laifeng attended yesterday's wedding and sent a gift in the name of Xiangyunxuan, so he already knew that Gu Ning was a member of the Tang family.
At that time, he was really scared! "By the way, I heard that something happened to the Xianghe Antique Shop. Do you know what happened to the Xianghe Antique Shop?" Gu Ning asked casually.
"When I came in the morning, I heard that the Xianghe Antique Shop had collapsed, so I went to check it out. It happened that a batch of goods received by the Xianghe Antique Shop yesterday were all crushed. After expert appraisal, the goods were genuine and had just been unearthed. Although there are rumors that it was because the Xianghe Antique Shop received too many things and the yin energy was too heavy, so it couldn't bear it and the house collapsed. But this kind of thing is too fantastic, and few people believe it, so everyone thinks that the house is too old, so it collapsed, or that the Xianghe Antique Shop offended someone and was retaliated against. What it is, I don't know." Du Laifeng said.
Although the antique world all said that antiques from graveyards with heavy yin energy were very yin, and it would be bad for the health and fortune of anyone who took them, but they had only heard about it, and they had never encountered it, so there were not many people who really believed it.
Even Du Laifeng didn't know whether this was true or not.
If that was the case, Gu Ning would be even more certain that the Xianghe Antique Shop might have had trouble because of this batch of goods, but Gu Ning still had to go over and take a look to find out what exactly happened.
So, after handing the things to Du Laifeng, Gu Ning took Cao Wenxin out.
[Xianghe Antique Street] is at the back of the Antique Street, closer to the inside, so there is also a distance to walk.
On the way, some antique shop owners who knew Gu Ning saw Gu Ning and greeted him in a friendly manner. Gu Ning also responded in a friendly manner one by one.
Although they felt that the emergence of [Xiangyunxuan] would take away a lot of their business, they were jealous of her because she was so powerful, but they dared not provoke her! They could not afford to provoke her, so they could only make friends with her. They did not want anything from her, but they could not offend her! (End of this chapter)
