Chapter 567 Jewelry Exhibition
While waiting for the jewelry exhibition to begin, Zhu Suisui and Wu Wenrou collected some antiques.
Compared with antiques in the Mainland, there are actually quite a lot of antiques from Hong Kong Island that are scattered around, so this trip was quite a haul.
Most of the money Zhu Sui brought was spent on these things.
She picked out a dozen or so items and asked Xie Wenluan to find a buyer for her, who then sold them. In Chinese yuan terms, the items were worth about 2,000 to 3,000 yuan, but she made a direct profit of 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. There are still many wealthy people in Hong Kong Island.
Zhu Suisui sold the pieces for 100,000 yuan and sent some of the pieces that were worth collecting back to China.
When Lu Lanxu got the box of things, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Why so many?"
Zhu Suisui's voice was on the other end of the phone. "Please protect them well for me. Hong Kong Island is full of treasures. Many people brought treasures with them when they fled here. Some were bought from mainland China at low prices. They are all worth collecting. I plan to keep them for now. After a few years, the value of these collections will be higher. Some of them will be cultural relics, so I plan to donate them to museums."
It seems that Zhu Suisui did a lot of things during his trip to Hong Kong Island.
Now that the things were handed into his hands, Lu Lanxu naturally had to protect them well. He classified them according to what Zhu Suisui had said.
Lu Lanxu sighed: "I think we need a big house to store all this."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Suisui really had this plan. "I have sold some of my antiques and collected some funds, about 100,000 yuan. Please ask someone to help take a look. I want to use this money to buy some courtyard houses."
Hearing this.
Lu Lanxu asked hesitantly, "Some?"
It looks like there are more than just one or two rooms.
I want some!
Zhu Suisui nodded, "As long as the property rights are clear, no matter what kind of dilapidated house it is, you can help me negotiate it. I don't plan to live in these houses. I have other uses for them. I will look for houses to live in when I come back. They may not be easy to find."
This money originally came unexpectedly, and Zhu Suisui planned to invest in the dilapidated courtyard with clear property rights. The location may not be good at the moment, but the price is cheap. He estimated that he could buy a house for tens of thousands of yuan, and use the money to buy the courtyard. He could then rent it out and earn the interest over the years. When the price goes up in the future, he could sell it.
Zhu Suisui is not very good at handling this matter, but Lu Lanxu can definitely do it well.
As long as he knew Zhu Suisui's requirements, he would have a rough idea in his mind.
After hearing this.
Although Lu Lanxu didn't particularly understand Zhu Suisui's thoughts, people nowadays don't have the concept of real estate speculation. As long as the house is livable, it's fine. But from what Zhu Suisui said, this was a good investment. Naturally, he believed Zhu Suisui, but he didn't understand it that way for the time being.
"It seems that Sui Sui is very obsessed with the courtyard house."
To be precise, it is the obsession with money.
Zhu Suisui did some calculations and concluded that even if it would take a long time to get a return on investment for this kind of cheap house, the advantage is that the investment is small. From this point of view, it is worth investing.
But it was not convenient to tell Lu Lanxu, so he just said: "I think China will develop better and better. I will be a landlady in the future. I can make money by lying down. I can play with antiques when I have nothing to do. I have already thought about my life in old age."
Hearing this.
Lu Lanxu lowered her voice a little, "How can Sui Sui enjoy our old age?"
Zhu Suisui blushed, "How can I enjoy it? I'm old now, it's just a piece of land for growing flowers and plants, what else do you want?"
"Sui Sui is right," Lu Lanxu laughed, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze, "As long as Sui Sui and I can grow old together, I will be satisfied."
This man!
Such a good teaser.
Zhu Suisui couldn't say any more. She found that she missed Lu Lanxu a little. She hurriedly said, "The phone bill is very expensive. I won't say anything more. Wait for me to come back. You go and take care of these things first. I believe you can do a good job."
Lu Lanxu hummed, and at the moment when the other party was about to hang up, his voice was gentle and affectionate, "Sui Sui, the flowers on the road are blooming, you can go home slowly."
Zhu Suisui hung up the phone.
His face was flushed.
She knew that he missed her too.
While Xie Wenlun was working on the renovation of Baxi, he was waiting for the jewelry exhibition to come.
Finally this day has arrived.
Xie Wenluan sent an evening dress to Zhu Suisui and also made an appointment with a makeup artist.
Regarding this.
Zhu Suisui refused directly, "I'm not going to a beauty pageant. The most important thing about a jewelry exhibition is to let people see the quality and craftsmanship of our jewelry and bring Baxi back into the spotlight. If I dress too beautifully, I will steal the show."
Moreover, the entertainment gossip in Hong Kong Island would certainly not fail to mention Xie Wenlun’s romantic affairs.
One's appearance can easily become a stimulus for gossip media.
Zhu Suisui thought about how she had been harassed by so many scouts before even though she had a plain face, so this time she decided to put on some ugly makeup.
Seeing Zhu Suisui say this, Xie Wenlun thought it made sense, but she still felt a little regretful. "She is so beautiful, she will definitely be on the front page. It would be a pity if she didn't dress up."
This is also a promotional point.
Zhu Suisui was too lazy to pay attention to him, "I only sold my ability, not my beauty, so don't even think about it."
Anyway, in the end, Zhu Suisui just picked out a dress that was well-cut but not too revealing, and put on some ugly makeup. Basically, her original appearance could not be recognized, except for her eyes that were particularly bright.
Then I went to a jewelry exhibition.
Hong Kong attaches great importance to jewelry exhibitions. All the jewelry stores that can enter the venue are well-known in Hong Kong. However, no one knows who will be selected and sold at a high price this time.
When Zhu Suisui followed Xie Wenlun into the venue, every corner was filled with laughter and joy, and it was a visual feast with a strong impact.
To be honest.
After living in the mainland for so many years, I suddenly felt completely different when I arrived in Hong Kong Island, as if this was not the 1980s. The gap was really too big.
Under the bright lights and as guests clinked glasses, the aroma of red wine wafted from their glasses, dazzling everyone.
Zhu Suisui's appearance did not attract much attention. Xie Wenlun's position in the exhibition was not prominent, so naturally not many people knew him. He was happy to be quiet.
He took some juice for Zhu Suisui and a glass of red wine for himself, and whispered, "What are you going to take to participate in this auction? You have to tell me the truth."
"You'll know when the time comes." Zhu Suisui smiled faintly, obviously very confident.
Seeing her like this, Xie Wenlun became more and more curious.
At this time.
There was a noise outside.
Zhu Suisui took a sip of juice and looked over, and saw that it was Shen Aoer who came, dressed beautifully and appropriately, and by her side was Xie Wenbo.
The status gap here is still very obvious.
For example, when Zhu Suisui and Xie Wenluan appeared, no one paid any attention to them. But when Shen Aoer came out, many people came to greet her, and laughter and cheers were heard immediately.
Seeing Xie Wenbai, Zhu Suisui glanced at Xie Wenlun and found that he looked normal.
She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. "Your competitor is here. I didn't expect you to be so patient."
Xie Wenluan smiled and said, "Because I finally know how my uncle got to the third branch of the Shen family. He is quite qualified in this regard. When I kick him out, he can earn a living by serving rich women."
Having said this, he paused, a mischievous smile flashing through his eyes, "This explains it even more."
Zhu Suisui was curious, "What?"
Xie Wenluan blinked, "The third branch of the Shen family is so stupid that they even like Xie Wenbo. Their daughter is like this, how can their son be any better? I was quite worried about the confrontation with Shengshi, but now seeing Shen Ao'er's vision and brains, I am not worried at all."
Phew.
Zhu Suisui discovered that Xie Wenlun was quite sharp-tongued.
At this moment.
Xie Wenbai seemed to see Xie Wenluan and Zhu Suisui. From a distance, he elegantly picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Xie Wenluan in the air, but his eyes were full of contempt and disdain.
