Chapter Thirty-Seven: Taking Action



After leaving Grandma Wu's house, the two walked for a while longer.

Just like last time, Gu Wei paid Jin Hongda ten yuan as a service fee.

Jin Hongda didn't reach out to take it, but looked at him nervously and said, "Brother Gu, can I help you sell watches like my father-in-law and his family? You can give me a smaller fee for my trouble."

Gu Wei couldn't help but smile: "What's with the shortfall? You're all in one family, and you've come up with two different prices? If you want to do it, give it a try. But be careful."

In fact, even if Jin Hongda hadn't mentioned it, Gu Wei already had this thought.

The requirement for tickets to buy watches is now only in certain regions.

Who knows, maybe one day we won't need it anymore.

Prices will naturally come down.

Moreover, he sold the wild ginseng he obtained from Jin Hongda's relatives for two million yuan, and he wanted to reasonably compensate them for some of it.

Jin Hongda was very grateful and said excitedly, "Brother Gu, thank you! Thank you so much! I will be extra careful, and even if I get arrested, I won't implicate you."

Gu Wei smiled and shook his head without saying a word.

He happened to have more than ten old-fashioned watches and export surplus watches in his bag. He picked out ten watches and handed them to Jin Hongda along with ten yuan.

After accepting the gift, Jin Hongda earnestly invited Gu Wei to his home for a visit.

Gu Wei refused outright.

Once they had ridden away from the area and found a secluded spot, Gu Wei immediately returned to the modern world.

After researching and comparing a lot of information, Gu Wei became increasingly certain that the new item he had acquired was genuine.

He plans to keep the large bowl he found as a souvenir.

Those who successfully snagged a bargain this time will definitely sell it for money.

Then, they pooled their money together and bought a villa.

Gu Wei didn't linger and quickly returned to the 84th side.

He had just ridden to the vicinity of his home when he saw Gu Hongjie playing a game of "eagle catching chicks" with several boys and girls of different ages.

Gu Hongjie, like an eagle, made feints, eliciting gasps and giggles from the children.

This scene made Gu Wei very gratified and happy.

The father became more confident and lively, and even started to resemble a child.

"You're back!"

When Gu Hongjie saw Gu Wei, his eyes lit up with joy, and he lost all interest in playing games with his new neighbor and friend.

Gu Wei knew exactly what he meant and smiled, "Okay, the car is yours now. Keep learning."

Gu Hongjie's face lit up with a happy smile: "Okay."

The neighbor's children also gathered around.

Everyone was extremely envious.

Gu Wei didn't rush in; he stood at the gate for a while.

Children spontaneously offered to help Gu Hongjie, and the space on the back rack of the car became a coveted spot.

This reminded Gu Wei of when he was learning to ride a bike. He was daring and addicted, and before he had even mastered it, he dared to go uphill, scraping his arms and knees.

When Gu Jianguo and Li Guizhi saw that Gu Wei had returned, they didn't ask any questions.

After all, even if Gu Wei took out old objects to show them, it would just be for entertainment.

I slept without any dreams.

The next day, after breakfast, Gu Wei rode his bicycle to take Gu Hongjie to school.

When they got home, Zhao Zhengyuan still hadn't come over.

He decided not to wait any longer, rode his bike away from home, and found a place to return to Hyundai.

Gu Wei had already decided yesterday to go to that antique shop again.

Although Mr. Guo's estimate was a bit conservative, he seemed like a reliable and trustworthy person.

The antique business is notoriously murky, and he was afraid of being tricked by unscrupulous and cunning people.

Inside the antique shop, Guo Chengshen was resting with his eyes closed on a rattan chair.

He finally came across a rare find a few days ago, but the seller wouldn't sell it, which made him very depressed and unable to muster any enthusiasm for anything.

He later recalled and pondered the matter repeatedly.

My intuition tells me that he may have underestimated the value.

If you offer more money, it will be more appealing. The young man clearly doesn't care much about his family's heirlooms, so maybe that will work.

Unfortunately, although he handed over his business card, the person simply left without leaving any contact information.

In the vast sea of ​​people, it was difficult for him to find them.

Just as I was lost in thought, a sound came from the shop entrance.

Guo Chengshen lazily opened his eyes, then widened them instantly, and hurriedly got up to greet him: "You've arrived! Please come in."

Gu Wei could clearly feel the shop owner's burning enthusiasm. He smiled and said, "Boss Guo, I've come to ask you for advice again."

Guo Chengshen glanced at the backpack in Gu Wei's hand and immediately beamed with joy: "Please don't be so polite. Actually, I only know a little bit about this stuff, so I don't deserve your advice. If you want to know anything, you are welcome to come and discuss it anytime."

"You're too modest." Gu Wei had a good impression of Guo Chengshen. "Then I won't stand on ceremony. I might have to bother you a lot in the future."

“Great, you’re very welcome.” Guo Chengshen, worried that he wasn’t being sincere enough, added, “In addition, I know some masters and experts. If needed, you can contact them to come over.”

Gu Wei doesn't really trust so-called masters and experts.

Because many people lack real talent and ability, but instead seek fame and fortune, they can make black appear white and falsehoods appear true as long as they are paid enough.

"Okay, I'll let you know if I need anything."

Guo Chengshen treated Gu Wei as the honored guest and even brewed him a pot of fine tea.

After everything was arranged, the two began to get down to business.

Gu Wei took the antique box out of his bag, placed it on the long table, and then opened it.

Guo Chengshen had already put on white gloves, and his gaze sharpened when he saw what was inside.

It's actually a large blue and white porcelain plate with a dragon and cloud design!
