Chapter 17 Mother-Daughter Fighting
After summing up, Chen Zikun positioned this kind of Baoquan's customer base as foreigners who have just arrived in China and are about to leave China, people who have just arrived in China do not know anything about antiques, and those who are about to leave are preparing gifts to give to relatives and friends after returning to China, and this kind of ancient money box with Gu Hongming's annotation and Emperor Xuantong inscription is the most suitable gift.
The collection of copper coins and the customization of wooden boxes are extremely simple things, plus gold velvet cloth and sterling silver nameplates, the cost can also be controlled within three yuan, and the important work lies in how to sell.
This is time for Miss Yao to go out, she put on the most beautiful clothes, holding a beautiful ancient money box, came to the Liuguo Hotel to do publicity and promotion, she was already sharp-toothed, proficient in English, and is a frequent visitor to the Liuguo Hotel, very familiar, quickly persuaded the manager, in the store on the first floor of the hotel put on the samples and signboards, indicating that this is the Qing Dynasty Forbidden City Treasury ballast money, every year when the emperor sacrifices to the heavens to use these copper coins to pray for the peace of the country, so it has an extremely extraordinary significance, limited to nine sets, each set of 100 dollarswhile supplies last.
One hundred dollars, equivalent to three hundred and fifty oceans, such a price for copper coins with special significance, is not expensive at all, and this Nanmu box is really exquisite, the box displays almost all the money from the Shunzhi Dynasty to the Xuantong Dynasty, there are large and small, there are copper coins and iron coins, the most outrageous thing is that Miss Yao didn't know where to find a blue feather guard in a yellow coat, and stood aside to protect it, so as to prove that this thing did flow out of the Qing Palace.
The cheapest room here is six yuan per night, many dignitaries have chartered rooms here to live for many years, and European diplomats are coming and going frequently, just a hundred yuan is really nothing to them, on the contrary, if the price is ten yuan, I am afraid that no one cares.
Within a day, nine sets of limited-edition copper coins were snatched up, Chen Zikun and Yao Yilei got 900 US dollars, equivalent to more than 3,000 oceans, Miss Yao returned to her former magnanimity, rewarded people when she saw them, and got out of the Six Nations Hotel and got into the car in a flattering voice.
Of course, it was Chen Zikun who drove, he had learned the craft of driving a car under Yao Yilei's hands-on teaching, all the way to the pawnshop, and took the money to buy dead jewelry.
The court apologizes and tells them that the jewelry has been sold.
Yao Yileiqi said: "It was sold so quickly, who bought it?" β
The court is squeaky and unclear.
Yao Yilei slapped a banknote and immediately got the answer: "Those few pieces of jewelry of yours were taken away by Vice Chief Yao." β
At this time, Chen Zikun noticed that there was a bicycle in the pawnshop, which seemed to be a little familiar, so he opened the door and went in to see that it was a Swiss Alpine brand, and the celluloid corners of the handlebar were a little worn, which was the trace of scratching when he and Lin Wenjing were learning to drive in the alley.
The past came to mind, the newcomer had replaced the old one, looking at Yao Yilei's cheerful and pretty face next to him, Chen Zikun heard a sigh in his heart.
He still spent money to buy a bicycle, but did not tell Yao Yilei the origin of the car, and bought a new British-made three-gun brand bicycle, which was sent to the Forbidden City by Mr. Johnston as a pen for Pu Yi.

In the Liuguo Hotel, someone took the copper plate and sold it for the price of gold, and the matter immediately spread to the Liuli Factory, which is an expert in selling antique calligraphy and painting, but there are not many people who play the ancient spring, because this thing is really not rare, especially the money making of the former Qing Dynasty, has not completely withdrawn from circulation, and the streets are all over the street, and the children are sewing the copper plate into the feather shuttlecock to play.
Even if it is playing Guquan, it is also a collection of coins such as the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, the Qin and Han Dynasties, what knife coins and shovel coins, Qin half two Han and five baht and the like, who plays Kangxi Tongbao, but someone did this, and blew the sky out, saying that what the emperor used when he sacrificed to the sky, a box of tattered copper coins, which can be sold at a sky-high price of three hundred and fifty oceans, this matter spread in the Liuli Factory, but the businessmen were not light.
"It's just something like that, it's worth five dollars at most, or the price of the box." Someone said so.
"Bah, pay back five yuan, I don't think it's worth a piece of five, these shameless liars have lost all the face of our antique shop!" Someone else scolded like this.
After all, scolding and scolding, these people's hearts and eyes can immediately come alive, and they got a lot of Kangxi Tongbao and Qianlong Tongbao, which were also held in Nanmu boxes, and sent them to Dongjiaomin Lane and Liuguo Hotel to sell to foreigners.
How do you know that when you get to the place, people and foreigners don't eat your set at all, so you can say at a glance: "No, no." β
The money dealers also knew a little about foreign languages, and knew what this meant, so they quickly explained: "It's all the same copper coin." β
The foreigner said: "People are out of print, what about you, you can collect it on the street, you can exchange a dime for a lot, and dare to sell it for fifty yuan, you are poor and crazy." β
The money dealers said, "What's out of print, it's all the same." β
The foreigner said: "We have asked Mr. Johnston, it is indeed the emperor's own inscription, can it be that the British gentleman does not believe it, believe you cunning Chinese?" β
The money dealer was anxious and said, "Then we don't sell fifty yuan, you can give twenty yuan, and you should make a friend." β
The foreigners still said no, and brought the money dealers to the window of the Liuguo Hotel, where there were copper coin souvenirs of the "Baoquan" brand, the Nanmu box was replaced with walnut, and the gold velvet was replaced by red silk, and each set was priced at ten yuan in the ocean, and it was sold openly in the window.
The money dealers are out of tricks, happy and convinced, and have nothing to say.

Yao Mansion, Yao Qizhen was sitting in the study smoking a pipe and reading documents, turning page by page, but the content didn't go into his mind at all, it was all his daughter's business, he knew his daughter's temper very well, everything had to be up to her, in case she really learned Tang Shaoyi's daughter, in order to marry Gu Weijun, the daughter of the dignified prime minister was listed in Bada Hutong to do business, where can I put my face.
Just thinking about it, the housekeeper ran in and was out of breath: "Master, it's not good, Miss is selling...... Sell ......"
Vice Chief Yao slammed the document in his hand on the table: "What to sell, tell me clearly!" β
"Selling copper coins, selling copper coins to those foreigners at the Six Nations Hotel, selling them for a hundred dollars a box, making a lot of money." The butler wiped his sweat and finally finished speaking.
Yao Cichang put a heart back in his stomach, and said in his heart that it was not good to sell his body.
When the wife heard the news, she also came, and asked the housekeeper to tell me the ins and outs of the matter, and Yao Cichang said angrily: "Hmph, she really imitated Zhuo Wenjun and sold wine as a wine, which was deliberately trying to embarrass me." β
The wife sent the housekeeper away and asked Vice Chief Yao, "How much has our daughter spent since she was a child?" β
Yao Cichang said: "If there is no 100,000, there are 80,000...... What is this, you ask? β
"Lei Lei spent so much money, but did she ever earn a penny herself?"
Vice Chief Yao thought for a moment and smoked a pipe.
Mrs. said again: "Lei Lei now knows that she is motivated, this is a good thing, according to me, this matter cannot be blocked, only sparse." β
Yao Cichang said: "What good way do you have?" β
Mrs. said: "You don't know our daughter's temper, so I like to fight with you, and now the economic blockade is useless, so we can only come to a delaying strategy." β
"How?"
"You call Lei Lei, I'll talk to her, don't worry about you as a father."
Vice Chief Yao put down his shame and called in person, but asked the housekeeper to make a call like this according to his wife's instructions.
"Miss, my wife is very sick, and I haven't touched my teeth for three days......" The housekeeper dialed the phone and said in a choked voice.
Yao Yilei over there couldn't sit still: "Why didn't Daddy tell me?" β
"The master said, don't let me tell you, miss, don't come back, the master said, I will break your leg when I see you."
hung up the phone, Yao Yilei was worried, it seems that she has caused a lot of trouble this time, she has made Mommy angry, Daddy won't let her go home, hmph, then I want to go back.
was about to leave, and suddenly her mind turned, no, what should I do if I go back and be detained like this, Yao Yilei rolled her eyes, found a small pillow and stuffed it under her clothes, walked two steps with her stomach up, posed as a pregnant woman, and smiled.
β¦β¦
Half an hour later, at the Yao Mansion, Miss Yao rushed upstairs in a hurry, and saw Mommy sitting in a rocking chair with tea and pastries on the table.
"Lei Lei, you're here, have a cup of afternoon tea with Mommy." The wife spoke softly, her face was ruddy, and she looked seriously ill.
Yao Yilei knew that she had been deceived and was very unhappy, but since she came, she had to probe her parents' attitude, so she sat down on a chair and deliberately showed her belly.
Knowing the daughter Mo Ruomu, the wife smiled when she saw it: "Lei Lei, pretending to be pregnant is not this kind of pretending, you have to tie the pillow to the lower abdomen, you tie it to the stomach, people still think that you have eaten Zhu Bajie." β
was exposed to the trick, Yao Yilei was very angry, took out the pillow and threw it aside, eating and drinking.
Mrs. persuaded: "Lei Lei, you are determined to marry someone surnamed Chen, and Daddy Mommy can only be you." β
Yao Yilei's eyes lit up: "Really? β
"Of course it's true, but our Lei Lei is so beautiful and cute, and her son-in-law can't be bad, otherwise if you are laughed at, your father and I will lose face, do you say?"
Yao Yilei heard her mother's tone loosen, so she asked, "Then how can you be satisfied?" β
"It's very simple, our Yao family is not the kind of uncivilized dead brain, and we don't pay attention to what is right, but at least the ability is to have, such as graduating from a famous university, having the ability to make money to support the family, not requiring your father to be so powerful, at least to mix up to 100,000 net worth within three years, this requirement is not too high."
Yao Yilei smiled: "Mommy, basically everyone who chased me in the past can meet these two standards, but do you know why I didn't choose them?" β
"Why?"
"Because Chen Zikun is much better than all of them"
What do you mean by that? Isn't he just a foreign cart puller, and he knows how to do national art when he takes it out. β
"Mommy, there's so much you don't know." Yao Yilei smiled reservedly, and thought to herself, could it be that Chen Zikun is a secret of the Southern Revolutionary Party, will I tell you.
