Chapter 280: Lifting the Red Cover
Not long after Yu Xiaohu arrived at Duo's house, Duo's family asked someone to bring a plate covered with a red cloth to him and let him uncover it, Yu Xiaohu really didn't understand what this meant.
However, according to him, this should be some rules of the rivers and lakes, so he asked Duo Yunqiang about it.
Duo Yunqiang knew that Yu Xiaohu might not understand these rules on the rivers and lakes, so he told Yu Xiaohu about it.
To put it simply, if the red hijab is placed on top of the wedding, it is a post-marital ceremony at the beginning of the wedding when the groom and the news are acknowledging the relationship between husband and wife after entering the cave room.
But this kind of exposure is placed on the rivers and lakes, that is, it is a kind of salute to some meritorious people who have made contributions, or those who have indirectly played a helping role and those predecessors who have high prestige.
This kind of salute is also called the rite of the elements, and it is different for different people, and at first this ritual method was applied to the labor union established by the Duo family.
However, with the dissolution of the labor union, after its members flowed into other Jianghu forces, because this method could highlight the connections and prestige on the one hand, and at the same time avoid the embarrassment of the parties due to the amount of the gift money, so it was quickly applied by other gangs, so it gradually formed a tacit understanding on the rivers and lakes.
As for the amount of this gift after the red cover is removed, it is only clear in the hearts of the parties themselves, for the sake of face and other considerations, the parties generally will not go out to publicize it, and they will not be cut face, after all, the more prestigious people in the rivers and lakes, the more they care about face.
After Duo Yunqiang's explanation, and Duo Meng had told Yu Xiaohu before that if there were people on the rivers and lakes who had a part to honor Yu Xiaohu, he must accept it, so Yu Xiaohu would soon come to his senses.
However, he didn't rush to do it, but after seeing Qu Lao and Du Lao washing their hands and removing their hijabs first, he uncovered the red cloth in a similar way.
I saw a bank card in the plate, which was not a domestic card, but a gold card from a Swiss bank.
Yu Xiaohu is no stranger to such cards. Because he also has a Swiss Bank diamond number card in his hand, which was privately given to Yu Xiaohu by the banker Rice, which is much higher than the gold card.
Seeing that the third elder put away the gold card with a smile, Yu Xiaohu naturally did not politely put the card away, which made the atmosphere at the banquet even more joyful.
It wasn't until after the third tour of wine that Duo Sanshan and a few old friends left the table. Yu Xiaohu and Duo Meng were left on the banquet and waited for these young people, and then they let go of the restraint and fought for wine, which was very enthusiastic.
However, after Yu Xiaohu drank a little with everyone, he mentioned to Duo Meng that he still had something to talk to about Duo Sanye and Mrs. Duo in private, so Duo Meng accompanied those friends to drink for a round, and then accompanied Yu Xiaohu to see Duo Sanshan.
Duo Yunqiang's current company has business dealings with the Shenhu Group, and he is also very curious to know what Yu Xiaohu is talking about with his wife and Duo Sanye, so he also followed.
Although the other middle-aged uncles who came with the three elders were also curious, Yu Xiaohu was now the guest of honor of the Duo family. It's not easy to mix.
Duo Meng and Duo Yunqiang led Yu Xiaohu to the back garden of Duo's house, and saw that the old man was playing Go, and the two meat pairs were chatting and playing chess, but they were also leisurely.
When Duo Sanshan was playing chess, his family came to inform him in advance, but when he saw that his daughter-in-law also came, he thought that the life that might be affected might be related to antiques and jewelry, and his three brothers were also engaged in this kind of business. I didn't shy away from it, I was a little curious.
After Yu Xiaohu came over and sat down. Duo Sanshan opened his mouth first: "Is Yu Xiaoyou satisfied with today's banquet?" ”
In fact, Yu Xiaohu didn't check how much money was in the gold card, but he still nodded and said that he was very satisfied, and thanked the Duo family for his hospitality.
Seeing that the three elders were also there, he didn't mean to avoid it, so he went straight to the point and said, "Several old men, since you are all here." Please forgive the younger generation for getting straight to the point, the younger generation engaged in some sea work before making a fortune, relying on the support of the Duo family, even if the development of the industry has achieved results now, but these projects have not been discarded. And now the younger generation has gathered a batch of handicrafts at hand, the number is a bit huge, and several must be engaged in the antique business, so how many seniors do you still need to rely on? ”
Nihawugo is a South Asian who was born in China and has lived for decades, and his temperament is relatively straightforward, but after hearing this, he first opened his mouth and said: "We are all involved in the antique jewelry industry, I don't know how many handicrafts Yu children have?" ”
"More than 100,000 pieces!" Yu Xiaohu reported a number.
Suck!
Hearing this, several old men present, as well as the Duo family, gasped.
Duzan is a native of China who has been living overseas and has also joined the foreign country, but he likes to return to his old friends in the Chinese Congress, and his family is also engaged in the antique jewelry business, which is larger than the Duo family and the Nihe family.
So hearing Yu Xiaohu's words, Du Lao immediately became interested, since Yu Xiaohu is engaged in sea work, it should be mostly salvaged a sunken ship, so there are 100,000 pieces of antique collections, but it makes sense, so he asked: "But it's all porcelain from the sea?" ”
Yu Xiaohu shook his head and said: "There are only about 50,000 pieces of fine porcelain, and other handicrafts are not all from the East, but also from the old objects from the West, as for jade jewelry, there are also a lot, because the younger generation is not engaged in the industry, and at the same time does not plan to touch this industry, so I hope to have a good partner!" ”
Hearing this, the elders were still very surprised.
In this year, although the collection market is hot, there are many auction companies and antique companies, but the good and the bad are uneven, fakes and imitations flood the entire antique market, even if they have a few things of average value, some people dare to use this as a reason to open antique shops to attract business, fishing in troubled waters, not to mention those large antique companies.
However, generally those small fights can't make the climate, because there are not enough goods at hand, and the waist pole can't be stiffened, so it can't be bigger.
Therefore, most of the collections that appear in the general market will be snapped up by most antique companies first, and then fall into the collection shelves of private collectors through guò auctions, and the difference between them is the basis of the profits of antique companies.
However, once there is a large number of collected works of art, the antique company has a large amount of inventory, then the operation is more smooth, and at the same time, the auction will be held many times to increase the influence and popularity, then the brand will gradually form, and after there is a certain influence, it will be able to grow rapidly, giving people XX production, which must be a high-quality word-of-mouth effect, which can also ensure the sustainable and healthy development of the antique company.
When Mrs. Duo heard Yu Xiaohu mention that she had such a large collection of art, and then she had dealt with Yu Xiaohu before, her eyes couldn't help but brighten, and she said, "Then I don't know what kind of shape Xiaohu you plan to cooperate in this time?" ”
Yu Xiaohu said: "I'm afraid of trouble, and I don't have so much energy to deal with those handicrafts one by one, so this time it's still a way to buy out!" ”
When Nihawugo heard that this son would actually use a buyout method to deal with that batch of handicrafts, his eyes were also bright, because it was very profitable, but he couldn't wait to say: "Yu Xiaoyou can have a sample for us to appreciate?" ”
When Yu Xiaohu came to Duo's house, he was naturally prepared, so he asked the bodyguards guarding outside to take a box from his car.
After the bodyguard took the box, Duo Sanshan immediately removed the Go, and after the bodyguard put the box on the table, he immediately opened the box.
And when everyone saw the three handicrafts representing different cultures displayed in the box, they couldn't help but gasp. (To be continued......)
