Siheyuan: the beginning to realize the freedom of cooking

This account is not ignorant, and it is shocking.

The medical expenses paid in advance, their food and drink along the way, his own accommodation expenses and so on.

Adding up the bits and pieces, he gathered sand into a tower, and the amount was so large that he was dumbfounded.

These Hong Kong dollars that he had exchanged his savings for so many years with the little yellow croaker were almost used up.

At this moment, he deeply realized that in the parallel world, it was not easy for people in those small cities to seek medical treatment in big cities.

Huge medical expenses and high living expenses are like a black abyss.

One bite can turn a wealthy family into poverty.

Originally, my own family background, among ordinary people, can be regarded as more than enough than the top and the bottom.

Well, now that this stud is down, it will be back to before liberation in an instant.

He smiled wryly and looked into the space.

Suddenly, he saw a bowl.

The bowl from the Yongzheng Dynasty received from Old Li Tou, he knew that the official kiln was very valuable.

It is already 1979, and by the end of the year, the country will allow the existence of self-employed individuals and issue licenses.

At this time, in fact, the country has already begun to try to open up in Guangdong and Fujian.

It's just that for the time being, this gust of wind hasn't blown all over the country.

This bowl is a rare item, if it is kept until later, it will be auctioned for tens of millions of bowls.

I wanted to pass it on as a family heirloom.

I can't help it now, I have no money in my pocket.

Starting a business requires start-up capital. It should be possible to save it for so many years.

But now that he has given the old man a doctor, of course he can reimburse part of it when he goes back, but he doesn't regret it either.

After all, money can be exchanged for a life, which is still very worthwhile.

Just in Hong Kong, many rich people here came from the mainland before liberation, and there is no shortage of wealthy and discerning buyers.

Lin Aijun knew that this bowl from the Yongzheng Dynasty would be auctioned in Hong Kong at this time, and it would definitely fetch a higher price than going back to the mainland to sell it on the black market.

In the early 70s, Sotheby's, the top international auction house, took the lead in entering Hong Kong.

It has been ten years of hard work, and the auction of Asian artworks should be developing very well here.

Thinking of this, Lin Aijun got up from the chair, found his messenger bag, found Lou Xiaoe's business card from inside, and dialed the number on it.

Jingle Bell--!
"Hello?! Excuse me, who is it?" On the other end of the phone, Lou Xiao'e quickly answered the phone.

"Xiao'e, it's me. Lin Aijun!"

Lou Xiaoe's heart skipped a beat when she heard the low and slightly hoarse voice from the phone.

This was the first time he took the initiative to call her after he came to Hong Kong!

"Junzi, do you need me?" Lou Xiaoe took a deep breath and asked calmly.

"Xiao'e, I have an antique bowl from the Qing Dynasty that I want to sell before I leave, can I contact the auction house?" Lin Aijun said slowly.

Lou Xiao'e on the other end of the phone listened, feeling slightly disappointed in her heart: "This is not a big problem. I know a little about the people in the auction house. Let me help you get in touch."

"Okay, thank you, Xiao'e!" Lin Aijun said, and hung up the phone.

Lou Xiaoe moved very fast.

On the same day, I contacted the people from the auction house and went to the lobby of the hotel where Lin Aijun was staying.

When the people from the auction house arrived, they saw the bowl that Lin Aijun put on the coffee table in front of him.

So he immediately put on his gloves, carefully picked up the bowl, put on professional glasses, turned the bowl over, and looked at it carefully.

After more than twenty minutes.

The person from the auction house breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lin Aijun: "Mr. Lin, this bowl is indeed produced by the official kiln in the Yongzheng period. If you are willing, please sign the auction contract."

Lin Aijun nodded, took the contract, read it carefully, and signed it after confirming that there was no problem.

"Mr. Lin, today I will take the bowl away first, and we will follow the contract for everything else."

"Okay, I'll trouble you then!" Lin Aijun said politely.

After finishing speaking, the people from the auction house carefully wrapped the bowl with cloth and put it in the box.

Then he said to Lou Xiaoe: "Miss Lou, thank you for introducing me to business, then I will go first."

"You're welcome, we've known each other for so many years, and we'll definitely think of you first if we have business!" Lou Xiao'e smiled, sending the auctioneer away from Lin Aijun's hotel.

Seeing the people from the auction house leave, Lin Aijun said to Lou Xiao'e: "Xiao'e, I really thank you this time. Whether it is the doctor or the auction, I thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Lou Xiao'e heard the words, but did not speak, and looked into Lin Aijun's clear eyes.

After a while, she withdrew her eyes, and tried to say in a way that did not hurt her self-esteem: "Is this bowl your heirloom? Actually, you don't have to sell it. If you are really short of money, I can lend it to you first!"

Lin Aijun smiled when she heard the words: "Xiao'e, thank you for your kindness, but I can't ask for your money."

He was grateful to Lou Xiao'e for his kindness, but it would be too shameful to ask Lou's family to borrow the start-up capital for this business.

"In the past few years, treasures from official kilns like this have risen very sharply because of their scarcity. It's almost a price a year. If you keep it in your hand, it will definitely cost more than the amount you sell now in the future."

Lou Xiaoe said calmly, from the perspective of business and business, this bowl is really losing money now.

In the past few years, Lou's father has been in poor health, so she is taking care of the Lou family's business in Hong Kong.

Years of experience in shopping malls has given her a very keen sense of smell in this area.

Lin Aijun didn't know what Lou Xiao'e said, as long as it comes out of an official kiln, 40 years later, it will be priceless, and maybe you can see eight figures.

It is absolutely impossible to sell for this price at the current auction, and I don't know if it can be sold for a seven-figure price.

"Xiao'e, it doesn't matter, the goods can be sold at that time. After all, this bowl is dead, people are alive, and money can make money. I will bring this bowl back to the mainland. At the current price level, it may even be ten thousand in Hong Kong. Not even a fraction of it can be sold.”

Lou Xiao'e has been in business for many years, and knows that in many cases, it is enough to stop at the end.

It doesn't work to impose your own ideas on others forcefully, because everyone's needs are different.

So, she smiled casually: "Okay, I just remind you. If you are short of money, or change your mind, you can always come to me."

After finishing speaking, she stood up, put on her sunglasses, stepped on her high heels, and turned around to leave the hotel.

Lin Aijun smiled slightly as she watched Lou Xiaoe's leaving back.

The environment can really change a person too much.

Lou Xiao'e has transformed from an inexperienced wealthy lady into a strong woman in shopping malls.

I have to hurry up and work harder, the east wind of the times is coming.

In the mainland, anyone who can seize this wave of east wind and dare to think and do will later develop.
