Before the founding of the Hu family, they were also one of the most wealthy families in the county, and they did exactly what Wang Xin guessed about the jade treasure trading, and opened several treasure pavilions.

Even with the Burmese state and the chaebols near the Hima Mountains, there is no shortage of various jadeite nephrite resources.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, because of their remote location, and the public-private partnership and the seizure of capitalists' assets started from prosperous places, his family still escaped that time and sold all their assets cheaply, even the land.

Of course, it was only the real estate that was taken off, and many of the jewels in the store were left at home.

This is also the reason why Hu Guoping said that their family has a treasury of jade.

However, although their family has a treasury of jade, there are really not many banknotes in their hands.

When their family disposed of their own property, all they exchanged were silver dollars, gold and other things, and they never thought of exchanging paper money.

Because they were afraid.

To be precise, most of the wealthy families at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China were quite skeptical of paper money.

Because they've had enough of it.

At that time, or before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the wealthy families suffered no less financial disasters than modern people.

Money banks have collapsed, stocks have depreciated, prices have skyrocketed, and currencies have depreciated.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there was a wave of bankruptcies and stock depreciation.

Of course, the root cause of the collapse of the bank is also the depreciation of the stock, because the bank secretly took the money of depositors to buy rubber stocks.

In the middle and late Republic of China, there was a period of soaring prices and money was not as good as paper.

On the eve of liberation, even a silver dollar could be exchanged for 1.6 billion gold dollar rolls, and no one was necessarily willing to exchange it, which shows the horror of currency depreciation at the end of the Republic of China.

So since then, many large families or rich families have not been willing to believe in the purchasing power of paper money.

They prefer to believe in gold and silver, because only gold and silver can hold their value.

Just like the silver dollar, no matter how much the value of the gold dollar note depreciates, the price of the silver dollar itself is still strong.

For the silver dollar itself is of silver.

Unlike paper money, after a credit crash, it's just a piece of waste paper.

Therefore, the Hu family has a lot of gold and silver, but the amount of banknotes is extremely rare, and only when it is needed, it will temporarily go to the bank to exchange a little.

Every time I exchange it, I try to exchange it for silver dollars, because it feels like a loss to exchange gold.

How to say it, at this time, the exchange rate of bank gold is more than four yuan and one gram, the price of rice in the black market is basically stable at one dollar and one catty, and pork is more than two yuan and one catty.

This means that one gram of gold can only be exchanged for a little more than four catties of rice, less than five catties.

When converted into the price of rice in later generations, it is equivalent to one gram of gold, which can only be exchanged for less than ten yuan in later generations.

This is a deal, and their family is naturally unwilling to do it.

"Dad, little sister, she has taken a fancy to a women's watch, but people don't want money, they just want to exchange it for jade, can you go to the warehouse to get a piece of jade to exchange!"

Before Hu Guoping and his sister could speak, Hu Guoping rushed into the main hall and said.

At this time, the whole family was having breakfast in the main hall, and he rushed in with a word, almost choking Hu Ronghua.

"Hu Guoping, where did you go to the waves again in the early morning, and you took your sister with you, if you want to buy something, say that you want to buy it yourself, don't always take your sister with you.

Where do you get the bad habits!"

Hu Ronghua coughed, drank another cup of tea to moisten his throat, and then reprimanded.

"Dad, didn't I just say that I was buying a women's watch?

How could it be that I am going to use it.

Oh, you just hurry up, my sister rarely wants to buy something, it's too late, and the store is leaving!"

Hu Guoping hurriedly stepped forward, holding his father's arm a little anxiously.

"What the hell is going on? The headless and brainless said that they would exchange the jade!

Did you say what kind of jade you wanted?

Did you say what qualities are needed?

Jadeite or nephrite?

Nothing is clear, how do you ask me to answer you?

If you want to exchange the Imperial Green, then I have to agree?"

Hu Ronghua hurriedly withdrew his aching arm that was thrown by his son, and said angrily.

He didn't say anything, he just said that if the price is about the same, you can change it.

By the way, he said he didn't want a ticket over there.

Also, he also said that in a few days, after the end of the National Day, there will be a batch of men's watches over.

If the watch my sister bought is really good, I can buy one after the National Day!"

Hu Guoping smiled stupidly, already thinking in his heart how to go out and show off after he got the watch.

"I'll just say, how can he just be good for his sister, the feeling is that he wants his sister to do an experiment for him first to see if the watch is good.

This little bunny!"

"What a silly boy, I have several pocket watches at home, but I like them.

Forget it, Ronghua, a watch is only one hundred and eighty yuan, you look at it and go to the warehouse to get him a piece of jade in exchange!

Just exchange those jadeites, anyway, the jadeites in your warehouse can't be sold at all. ”

Hu Guoping's grandmother, Hu Jiangshi sighed and said helplessly.

Jadeite, a colorful jadeite, has never been as valuable as nephrite, and if it weren't for the Manchu royal family's preference for jadeite, it is estimated that the value would be much lower than now.

Now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has fallen, things like jadeite are naturally even more difficult to sell, and those nephrite jade can barely have some market.

That's why Grandma Hu Guoping said to exchange for jadeite.

The old lady has spoken, can Hu Ronghua not agree?

I could only put down the chopsticks, took out the key, and took the two brothers and sisters into the warehouse.

Their storehouse is divided into three floors, only the first floor is in the open side of the building, and the remaining two floors are in the basement of that floor.

Therefore, the things in the first floor of the building are naturally the lowest value things, basically some low-grade jade jewelry, silver and other things are also placed on the first floor.

Hu Ronghua didn't bother to go down, and was going to pick out a few more pieces of low-grade jade jewelry for them.

"You see, there are glutinous jade bracelets on this side, you look at picking a few and bring them over.

It should be able to be exchanged.

It's really not good, you can also bring another piece of transparent jadeite with glass species, but no one buys transparent jadeite, but the glass species is worth a little money. ”

Hu Ronghua finally just took them to the location where the jade bracelets were stored, and pointed them out a few locations for them to choose.
