Chapter 116: Emerald Watermelon

On the East Coast of the United States, there is no family reunion, and the most important part of Thanksgiving is lost, and Su Mu goes back to sleep, dreamless all night until dawn.

After waking up, he found that Li Ping'an had not woken up on the bed next to him, Su Mu stood by the window and looked downstairs, there was a white expanse everywhere, and the snowflakes had not stopped, but the sky was much brighter than yesterday, and there was a white expanse everywhere, and there were few cars in sight on the road.

The roof of the Empire State Building in the distance was covered with snow, and when I first woke up and saw the Empire State Building, I saw the snowflakes fluttering, and I felt very comfortable.

I thought that if I sold my shares in the supermarket now, I could change to a big house in Manhattan, and I was a little happier.

It feels good to be rich, even better than Su Mu originally imagined......

The radiator sounded, he drank some water after brushing his teeth, and in addition to the room, there was a small suite with a desk, and he called home to report his safety.

Su Dingcai answered the phone and scolded his son by the way, Su Mu felt that he deserved to be scolded, because it was only four o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles, and he didn't know if his father heard the news of his coming to New York clearly, so he heard a beep on the phone, and he probably went back to bed to make up for sleep.

......

The first stop of the morning is the Metropolitan Museum of Art, one of the most famous museums in the world.

Li Ping'an didn't have the leisure to look around, Su Mu stopped and stopped, and when he encountered something interesting, he stopped and stared at the ornaments in the cabinet for a while.

He didn't know anything about antiques before, and now he knows very little about them, when he heard an old collector named "Ma Weidu" say that the main content of antiques is that he has built a museum privately.

Who is Ma Weidu, Su Mu has never heard of it at all, but I remember that he said that in the eighties, antiques were all cabbage prices, and they could be bought for a few cents at the scrap recycling station, and the point was that these things were worth more than 100 million later!

The names of antiques such as Guiguzi Xiashan Yuan blue and white pots, "Bureau Posts", and chicken bowl cups are heard from the old radio station, through various clues, Su Mu does not think that the future RMB will be worthless, that is to say, the collection of antiques in this era should be very rich, and the heart is certain, he has plans in this regard, but he knows nothing about antiques, and he has no idea where to start.

In addition, investing in antiques is a bottomless pit, supermarket shares are worth a lot, but you don't plan to sell those shares, there is still not much money in hand, you can try it a little.

Then I took a taxi from the Upper East Side to Downtown, the Upper East Side looked in a mess, and the Lower Manhattan was even more broken, and Wall Street was nearby, and from the street to the end of the street, I saw countless large companies.

Li Ping'an looked back and said with emotion: "A few days ago, I began to feel that I was rich, and when I saw these companies, I felt very poor, maybe an aunt is worth hundreds of millions of dollars." ”

"It's not that you think, it's fair to say that we're really poor. ”

Su Mu breathed a long sigh of relief, behind the names of the companies on this street, they all represent countless assets, not to mention anything else, just the three banks of the United States, Citigroup, and Morgan, which control a total of trillions of dollars, making people feel extremely small.

A few months ago, I felt that I had 100,000 US dollars, even if I was very rich, but now I have far more than 100,000 US dollars, and I still feel that I have no money, mainly because Li Zhekai hurt him, every time I see that guy, Su Mu can think of hundreds of millions of dollars of wealth, compared to the two, millionaires are the same as Hanako.

The Su family's choice to let Su Mu enter a private high school is both a good thing and a bad thing.

Broaden his horizons, yes, if Su Mu didn't have the good fortune to hear those radio contents, he would have been living around the children of a group of rich people for a long time, but it would seem like he was hurting him.

Standing on the top of the mountain and seeing the great rivers and mountains, how can you be willing to curl up in a small mountain village where birds don't poop, if the development is not smooth, most of them will fall into endless pain.

Not far from Chinatown, there is a Chinatown slum inhabited by Chinese, which is really ironic, and I went to visit it, look at the familiar dilapidated houses before meeting, and then look back at the high-rise buildings on Wall Street, one day and one place.

When visiting the Metropolitan Museum, Su Mu also thought about the opportunity to buy some antique collections, there are many Chinese antiques in the United States, and the time goes back decades, that is a boatload to the United States, and many antiques in Europe have also come to the United States, the number is too much, so that it is not taken seriously, there are real and fake, and ordinary families can also buy one or two collections if they are interested.

He lived in Chinatown, but he went to visit Chinatown here in New York, Su Mu felt that he might have a bad brain, and suddenly became interested, and entered the antique shop called "Sanbaolou" with Li Ping'an.

There are a variety of goods inside, both Eastern and Western, even gold masks with a strong Egyptian style, no need to guess that it must be fake, no one is willing to let this kind of treasure be covered with a thick layer of dust.

"Wood, these are antiques?"

I have never been in an antique store, and when I see things sold as cabbage, Li Ping'an's mind can't turn around.

The price is clearly marked, and some signs are also marked with "handicrafts", and there are also worthless gadgets such as "Qing Dynasty" and "Ming Dynasty", and the price is not necessarily much higher than that of modern handicrafts.

Su Mu was very suspicious of whether it was true or not, and said, "Who do you ask me, who do I ask?" Come to New York and bring some souvenirs back, and come here without telling your family, if they know, maybe you will be beaten again." ”

"That's a good idea, how about reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, how about buying a piece of jade for my mother. ”

Li Ping'an picked up a jade plaque casually, with the price on it, six hundred and fifty US dollars, too expensive to buy, and put it down again, five kinds of colored old jade, people who know how to know it are worth a little money, but unfortunately he and Su Mu don't understand.

The owner of the antique shop was a middle-aged man, probably over forty years old, with gray hair on both sides, and when he looked up, he saw that the customers were not very old, and they were also Chinese.

Things are not expensive, the difference is tens of cents, a few dollars, a good hundred, thousands of dollars, and very few worth more than 10,000 dollars, Su Mu guessed that it was not released for exhibition, knowing that some good things in the store might appreciate, but he didn't know whether they were real or not, whether they were worth anything, this feeling made him extremely uncomfortable.

A watermelon appeared in his sight, Su Mu looked at it and walked over, the sign only said jadeite, the price was not as good as that jade, only one hundred and thirty dollars, it really looked like a watermelon, quite pleasing.

Listening to Ma Weidu's ridicule of the soaring price of jadeite in the 21st century, it can be seen that jadeite will be worth a little money in the future, and Su Mu does not know how much it is worth.

Compared with other antiques, jade jade is more reassuring, a table is full of jadeite, and a flashlight is specially placed for customers to take pictures by themselves, being illuminated by strong light, you can see the green inside of the watermelon.

Li Ping'an walked over and mocked Su Mu speechlessly: "Want to buy watermelon? such a heavy thing, it's too troublesome to bring home, help me pick a gift, I don't know what to choose......"
