A few days ago, when Nicole asked Zhang Nan which hotel to book in Xiangjiang, Zhang Nan said casually: "Just the Peninsula Hotel." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

There's no way, they're famous!

When the five people walked out of Kai Tak Airport through the dedicated lane, there were already reception staff waiting at the exit. Two Bentleys took the crowd to the Peninsula Hotel, known as the "Far Eastern Lady", at 22 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon.

It was not early, and when Zhang Nan was pushed into the lobby of this world-famous hotel in a wheelchair by the service staff, even Zhang Nan was a little moved.

It's not because of luxury, but because I watched too many Xiangjiang movies when I was young, and I knew that the tea house next to me was the "Filmmaker Teahouse", and this moment was like going back in time.

Although he had been to Xiangjiang a few times in his previous life, he had never come in - he was reluctant to pay for a house price of three or four thousand.

Wheelchair, Master Chen explained: even if you can walk, it is best to sit for another three days.

Listen to the old Chinese medicine practitioners, that's right.

The Peninsula is expensive, but he doesn't bother to ask how much it costs to stay here - the U.S. stock market is on the verge of nerves these days, and the few stocks he owns are even relatively "stable", with millions of dollars coming in every day!

More than 200 million, even if it is 1%, it is more than 2 million a day!

Of course, it's more exciting to fall!

It's no wonder that when there is a certain amount of money, it is a number.

"Xiao Zhang, when I left Xiangjiang with Zhengming's grandparents, this Peninsula Hotel had just been built for a few years, and my friends and I didn't dare to wander around here. I didn't expect to not only come now, but also live in the presidential suite!"

Chen Zhanghua was a little emotional, although he and his son only lived in two of the five bedrooms in this presidential suite, but thinking about the vicissitudes of more than half a century, the old man always had feelings that ordinary people could hardly understand.

Second-generation immigrants?

Zhang Nan couldn't figure out how Master Chen calculated.

How is the Presidential Suite?

At first, Nicole just booked a luxury suite with two bedrooms, but she didn't expect Zhang Nan to become a sick person, so she had to upgrade her room temporarily.

But it's not a big problem: Citibank platinum VIP users, this treatment is about to catch up with the "centurion card" holders of the World Express Company, a phone call to solve the problem.

"What kind of room to order?"

"Master Chen needs to use the kitchen, otherwise it will be very inconvenient to cook medicinal food in Xiangjiang, so ask them if they have a room with a private kitchen. If not, switch to another one. ”

Yes, it is still a presidential suite with "over-standard facilities", and there are 5 bedrooms!

As for the room price, the Hong Kong dollar is 7.8 to 1 against the US dollar, plus he can't bother to calculate it, which will be cheaper than the "Imperial Suite" of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

In the United States and Xiangjiang, he did not feel at all the way that he could scare the cow to death in the big continent.

But when he comes home in a few days, he plans to do a few things that might be unbelievable now, estimated to cost millions of dollars.

......

At ten o'clock the next morning, Zhang Nan was again in a wheelchair and was pushed out of the Peninsula Hotel.

Going to a preview?

No, he was not interested in this preview - there was only one object that had to be won, and as for the rest, he was generally interested.

Many of the paintings in this auction are calligraphy and paintings, and it is also the weakest item in Zhang Nan's antique collection, so it can only be said that if the price is right, it can be considered.

He is going to Hollywood Road, the ancient street of Hong Kong Island, stretching from Central to Sheung Wan and West Central, with more than 100 antique shops!

This time, he only had seven days, and he had to leave Xiangjiang on the seventh day: because he only held a U.S. green card, he would stay in a "transit" manner for seven days at most.

Need to hurry!

In this way, a strange scene appeared in Hollywood Road: 8 people are a combination of Chinese and Western, the old, middle and young are combined, and the one in a wheelchair is still a strong guy.

What happens when there are three more people?

One strong man specializes in pushing wheelchairs, and like the other two, they are security guards who are "rented" through the hotel.

Except for Master Chen, the "old, weak, sick and disabled" of these 5 people are almost there, and Zhang Nan was deeply poisoned by Hong Kong films in the 80s and 90s, and Master Chen's memory of Xiangjiang is not good, safety first.

The security officer is very professional, even the person who pushes the cart can see at a glance that he is a bodyguard, and now they are more attractive than those antiques in this antique street!

Feel free to take a look at the shops of different sizes.

The shopkeepers here are all human spirits, and when you look at this combination of Chinese and Western, you will know that the one who is talking is amazing, the God of Wealth!

The God of Wealth is not good, and in two hours, Zhang Nan made a gain in a two-story antique shop: he bought a 1.8-meter-long ivory carving in the early Qing Dynasty, and even the base was carefully carved from a whole piece of rosewood.

A complete African elephant ivory, carved pavilions, pavilions, countless characters, absolutely the best of the best!

If it weren't for Zhang Nan's gang of people, the shopkeeper wouldn't let him see it at all!

The shopkeeper was priced at HK$2 million, and after some bargaining, it was sold for HK$1.55 million.

Nicole thinks that Zhang Nan is too expensive, and she made up for some collection knowledge some time ago.

1.55 million!

"It's ok. Don't tell me, you're at the price of new ivory!"

Nicole "hehe" smiled and didn't say.

The following year, the European Union was about to ban the ivory trade, and China seems to have stopped this bloody trade since '91.

Zhang Nan remembers that in Europe, the price of new ivory in 14 years is not as good as the wholesale price in 88 years, which is a price excluding inflation!

However, in China, more than 20 years later, the price of ivory on the black market is ridiculously expensive.

"When you are free next year, do you want to go to Beijing and Shanghai, as well as the ivory carving factory in Yangcheng, to sweep a batch of top goods?"

The skills of the most famous ivory carving factories in China have reached the pinnacle, and they will not be able to compare with it in 20 years - the ivory carving masters are basically no longer able to carve!

Of course, not for the sake of selling in the future: if you dare to sell in more than 20 years, the police will arrest you!

However, a batch of top ivory handicrafts, even if they are products of the eighties, put dozens or hundreds of pieces at home, this face!

It's fascinating to think about!

It's just an ornament, the Qing Dynasty tooth carving, Zhang Nan plans to put it in his living room in the future.

It takes time to pack the goods, and the owner's son, Jenny and a security guard have gone to a nearby bank to transfer money, and the shopkeeper is chatting with a few people, and the two sides are supervising the packing of the goods by the way.

"Originally, I thought Master Chen was Boss Zhang's long-eyed person, but I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!"

The 20-year-old is a boss or an expert, while the 60-somethings are not long-eyed people, but private doctors.

The owner's surname is Ma, and this antique shop is also famous in Hollywood Road, and the combination of Zhang Nan's group surprised him greatly.

Because the business had been reached, Lao Chen asked where there were elderly wild ginseng and some other top Chinese medicinal materials for sale nearby, which were difficult to buy in the United States, and his identity was revealed.
