Chapter 73 Auction - Back to 18, I became rich by spending money
The next morning, after Wen Mingxiu sent his wife away, he sat in the living room watching TV, his eyes looking at his phone from time to time. He was no longer interested in opening the store, so when Wen Yan got up at 8:30, he saw his father sitting on the sofa watching TV boredly.
"Dad, why did you get up so early? And why don't you go to open the store?" Wen Yan asked curiously.
"Have you forgotten that we still have to go see the master to look at antiques today? I'm waiting for a call. Anyway, I have to go out halfway, so I said you don't have to go today. Hurry up and pack up, maybe the call will come later." Wen Mingxiu hurriedly urged his daughter to pack up.
After Wen Yan finished making breakfast and woke Wen Yi up, the phone rang. Wen Mingxiu couldn't wait to wipe his mouth and answered the phone. He looked at the pumpkin porridge his daughter had cooked and couldn't help but drink a bowl. "Hello, Mr. Qi, yes, yes, I'm Wen Mingxiu. 10 o'clock, right? Okay, okay, I'll be there on time."
Wen Yi waited until Wen Mingxiu hung up the phone before speaking, "I want to go too."
"Go! Go! Go"
The three of them packed up and rushed to the place with their things. Old Qi was already waiting inside.
"I have invited several masters, and they are all waiting inside. This thing of yours is of great value, and it is impossible for one person to estimate its value, so don't make a fuss when you go in later." Old Qi instructed Wen Mingxiu and others.
As soon as they entered, without further ado, several people who looked like big shots began to study the porcelain brought by the Wen family with a passionate look on their faces.
The father and his two sons sat nearby, not knowing what the others had figured out. Their initial excitement had turned into boredom as they sat on stools, drinking tea and eating snacks. The key point was that the three of them didn't understand anything, so they could only sit nearby and not cause any more trouble.
In the meantime, people kept sending in information, and after three hours of investigation, we finally came to a conclusion.
The last one, an old man who looked very respectable, said to Wen Mingxiu, "After careful investigation and searching through literature and other channels, we can confirm that this cultural relic in your family is a Ru kiln celadon-glazed sunflower-shaped washbasin from the Northern Song Dynasty. The Ru kiln holds a very high status in Chinese porcelain, especially during the Northern Song Dynasty, when its status reached its peak. Therefore, this piece of porcelain in your family is very valuable. I wonder what you would like to do with it."
After hearing this, Wen Mingxiu was very excited. This thing was actually from the Northern Song Dynasty. It was very extraordinary. He turned around and looked at his daughter and asked for her opinion. After all, it was his daughter who asked to send it for identification.
The old man looked at Wen Yan. He couldn't believe that their family would let a little girl make the decision.
Wen Yan walked over and said, "It's like this. It's a pity to keep this cultural relic in our home. We are all vulgar people in our family and can't appreciate it. If possible, I hope this item can be put on the auction house and find someone who truly appreciates it." This is a very vulgar thing to say, but it is also the truth. This thing in their home is not as good as a 5-yuan bowl bought from the supermarket. After all, the bowl is exquisitely made.
How could the old man not understand what the little girl meant? It just goes to the highest bidder.
"That's fine. We happen to have such channels, but the auction house charges a 5% commission. Do you think it's okay?" The old man said based on the current market conditions and asked for their opinions.
Wen Yan of course agreed. This was the rule and they understood it.
So after the three of them returned home, Wen Mingxiu finally reacted.
"So, this thing is very valuable and it could be auctioned before?" Wen Mingxiu asked in disbelief. He was too embarrassed to speak outside for fear of being called a bumpkin, but he didn't have so many concerns when he got home.
"That's right, I just checked. A Ru kiln artifact from the Northern Song Dynasty is probably worth hundreds of millions. They just said that it will be auctioned on October 15th, and they will charge a 5% commission. Dad, remember, you have to go then. They will give you an invitation." Wen Yan said calmly.
"Hundreds of millions??" Wen Mingxiu was so excited that he quickly called his wife to tell her the good news.
Wen Yi couldn't believe it either, but he was still young and didn't know what hundreds of millions meant. But he also knew that his family would soon be rich.
"So, sister, our family is going to become rich soon?"
Wen Yan nodded in affirmation, "That's right, from now on you can be called a rich second generation."
Wen Yi was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, "Hahahaha, from now on I can top up as much as I want to become a King, hahaha!"
Wen Yan was immediately speechless when he heard this. What a shame.
Looking at her happy father, Wen Yan felt that everything she was doing now was worth it. It was good for her parents to be rich and idle when they were old.
"I brought your mother back. As soon as she received my call, she immediately resigned. She should be back soon." Wen Mingxiu said to Wen Yan excitedly after hanging up the phone.
Wen Yan was stunned by her parents' efficiency and resigned after just a few words.
Wen Yan changed her clothes and prepared to go out to cook. It was almost time when her mother came back.
Sure enough, when Wen Yan was cooking the last dish, Yu Qiu came back with a lot of bags in his hands.
Dad's voice came from outside the kitchen, "Honey, you're back. Have you finished resigning?"
"Well, I didn't want to do this for a long time. There's already a new chef in the kitchen, and I'm old. Now that our family has suddenly become rich, I don't need to stay here anymore. I just happened to take everything back." Competition is everywhere. Yu Qiu actually didn't want to continue working for a long time, but she had to continue working for the sake of her family's livelihood. Now that her family has suddenly become rich, she can do something she likes.
"Mom, clean up first, the meal will be ready soon." Wen Yan called out, asking her to clean up and eat.
When the family of four sat at the dining table, they began to fantasize about what they would do after getting the money while eating.
"First of all, we need to move to a bigger house. I can't stand this house anymore. There are no lights in the corridor at night and I might fall down if I'm not careful. There's no place to park and we have to park far away. If we move to a bigger house, I can bring my parents to the city to live a better life." Yu Qiu said while chewing the celery in her mouth. She wanted nothing more than a house.
"Wife, it doesn't matter if you quit your job. We can go look at houses these two days when we have nothing to do. We can buy one when we have enough money, and then we can buy a car. Oh, and buy a car for Yanyan as well. It will be convenient for her to do anything at school. When everything is done, we can just bring our parents over. Then will our store still be open?" Wen Mingxiu planned. He wanted a car and had wanted to change his car for a long time. His cars were all second-hand cars that he sold to open a store, and their functions were no longer effective.
"That's all fine. Mom and Dad, you can go look at houses in the Jianhe Road area. There are villas there and the environment is good. Wen Yi happened to be admitted to the nearby Xicheng No. 1 Middle School after the high school entrance examination. As for the car, Dad, after you get the money, just transfer it to me and I will buy it there." Wen Yan had thought of many things before, and she was just waiting for the money to arrive so that she could drive her car.
