Chapter 16: Going to the Feast

Before in the grain store of Ping'an Town, Wang Hong made a windfall, and the private treasury that the shopkeeper had accumulated over the years was moved by him two-thirds.

Moreover, the items selected by Wang Hong are all small in size and high in value, in addition to medicinal herbs, pills, and silver tickets, there are also a lot of gold and jade.

Because of its particularity, gold is relatively troublesome to sell without a certificate, and it is easy to attract the attention of the government.

Jade is different, as long as your jade quality is good enough, most jewelry stores are willing to buy it.

Of course, it's one thing to be willing to take it, and it's another thing to cheat you on the price.

Wang Hong now has more than a dozen pieces of jade in his hands, although he doesn't know much about jade, but according to Qiandu's introduction, he can roughly tell that these jades are all mutton fat white jade!

Although jade is also a valuable item in the Tiannan Kingdom, its value is far less exaggerated than that of the Earth Star.

Normally, a fine jade pendant with a diameter of two inches can be bought for a maximum of a few dozen taels of silver.

The jade that can be collected by the shopkeeper to the private treasury is at least the size of a bowl, and the color and delicacy are excellent treasures.

But even so, a dozen pieces of jade of good quality were not as valuable as more than nine hundred taels of gold in the eyes of the shopkeeper.

"It just so happens that Yan Hao is about to return to Furong City, he should have a familiar jewelry store, try to deal with some of it here first."

Wang Hong opened a suitcase, looked at the jade inside, and muttered to himself.

He wanted to get together with that college roommate before, but the other party went to northwest Sichuan some time ago, and there was a small non-ferrous metal mine in his house there, Yan Hao was called back to familiarize himself with the business, and he couldn't go back to Furong City for a while.

Originally, Wang Hong thought that he would not be able to see each other this time, but the day before yesterday, Yan Hao suddenly called him.

said that the matter at hand has been completed, and it is estimated that he will be able to return to Furong City in the next few days, so let him not rush back first, and the two will meet for a drink before leaving.

The next day, Yan Hao, who had just returned to Furong City, asked Wang Hong to have dinner with him at noon.

The two haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and the meal starts at twelve o'clock at noon and drinks until more than two o'clock in the afternoon.

If he had been Wang Hong before, he would have been poured down a long time ago, but now that his physique has skyrocketed, he has in turn instigated Yan Hao.

But there are still things to talk about today, Wang Hong saw that Yan Hao had softened, so he didn't go to him again.

It wasn't until the two of them finished lunch and returned to the hotel room that Wang Hong talked to Yan Hao about business.

"Haozi, I have a few pieces of good jade that I want to sell, do you have any reliable acquaintances?"

Yan Hao was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked, "You didn't sell this kind of thing in Guangling, but came to Furong City to sell it?" ”

Wang Hong smiled and said: "If you shoot at home, I guess I can't hide it from my parents in the end, these pieces of jade are no problem, but they are not suitable for shouting, so ......"

Although Wang Hong didn't finish his words, Yan Hao instantly understood what he meant.

The two have known each other for more than four years, and he knows Wang Hong's personality, so he said without thinking:

"If you can be so cautious, it's not a matter of hundreds of thousands, so you need to find a bigger jewelry store to sell."

"I haven't dealt much with jewelry stores of this grade, but I have a friend who works for Chow Tai Sang, and I asked him out to ask about the situation in the evening."

It's not that ordinary jewelry stores can't afford to accept millions of jade, but Wang Hong's inexplicable goods, the other party may not dare to accept them.

Even if some are brave enough to do it, the price will definitely be pushed to the limit in the end.

And those large jewelry companies are different, no matter what kind of gold and silver jewelry comes to them, when they get it, deal with it and then sell it in another province, no one can find out the problem.

Seeing Yan Hao's cautious appearance, Wang Hong thought for a while and said:

"Actually, there is no trouble with these pieces of jade themselves, it's just that I don't have an invoice, so I don't need to deal with it like a thief."

Yan Hao smiled and said, "You are right to listen to me, even if you don't sell Zhou Dasheng in the end, it doesn't hurt to ask my friend to help with the appraisal." ”

Yan Hao said so, Wang Hong did not refuse again, although the wealth is not leaked, but he now has the confidence not to be afraid of trouble.

At least those bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods who can't be on the stage, Wang Hong is fully capable of teaching them to be people.

In the evening, Wang Honggang was about to call and ask Yan Hao where to eat, but the other party came to his room first.

"Hurry up and change into a formal outfit and accompany me to a birthday party!"

Yan Hao strode into the room and hurriedly said to Wang Hong.

"Don't don't, you know I'm not interested in this kind of social situation, I have removed the big eating and drinking, and I can't help you deal with others."

As soon as he heard that he was going to the birthday party, Wang Hong refused without hesitation.

He didn't like to socialize, let alone go to a banquet without acquaintances, no matter how much delicacies from the mountains and seas in that environment, it was better to find a barbecue stall to skewer up.

"Don't push it, the one who celebrates my birthday today is the girl I'm chasing, so I have to bring some brothers to support the scene."

"And the friend who works in Zhou Taisheng will also go, and he will bring it back in the evening to help you inspect the goods."

Yan Hao patted Wang Hong's shoulder and said with a smile.

"You're so idle, I'm not your local, and I'm not a handsome guy, what scene can you take me to?"

Wang Hong frowned and said, he was really impatient to talk nonsense with strangers.

Yan Hao looked at Wang Hong for a while, pinched his shoulder, and said with some surprise:

"I haven't noticed it in thick clothes at noon, when did my figure become so good? Although you are not a handsome guy now, you can definitely enter the ranks of macho men! ”

Wang Hong has been practicing iron cloth shirts hard during this time, and the small belly that he once had has long disappeared.

Although he didn't have the exaggerated muscles of those bodybuilders, he was unconsciously strong.

Wang Hong slapped Yan Hao's hand away and asked directly, "Why do you want me to go?" ”

Yan Hao looked at him left and right, and said with a smile: "If you are really a handsome guy, I definitely can't take you there, in case that girl falls in love with you, won't I have to regret it." ”

Seeing that the other party was reluctant to say it directly, Wang Hong didn't ask again.

After kicking Yan Hao out of the room, he took out an item from a certain box and put it into a delicate wooden box.

Although Wang Hong didn't know the protagonist of the banquet, since he went to someone else's birthday, he couldn't come to the door empty-handed.

What's more, you have to take care of Yan Hao's face, a birthday gift that you can get your hands on is definitely indispensable.

On the way to the banquet, Yan Hao gave Wang Hong a general introduction.

The girl who celebrated her birthday today is named Li Ying, and her appearance is actually eighty, and she is two years older than Yan Hao.

Originally, Yan Hao's conditions would not be exhausted, but Li Ying's father has been in politics for many years and is the leader in charge of the mining industry.

Therefore, Yan Hao had to turn into a licking dog and be courteous to this girl who didn't have much affection, so as to reduce the pressure on the family in some aspects.

If it were before, Wang Hong would feel that Yan Hao's choice was right, talking about girlfriends can be done by temperament, but it is more suitable to find a marriage that is helpful to his career.

But now that his eyes have long been on these things, he naturally feels that the other party's choice is very meaningless.

Of course, he could also understand Yan Hao's thoughts, so he smiled and nodded the whole time, without revealing any abnormality.

Miss Li's 25th birthday party was held in a high-end hotel, but after all, she had to worry about the influence, so the scale of the banquet was not large.

There were six tables in a small private room, and most of them were relatives and close friends.

It can be seen that Yan Hao really spent a lot of time and energy on this eldest lady.

There were only fifty or sixty people in total, so the banquet was not so formal, but the gifts from the guests were still simply registered.

The gift brought by Wang Hong was a wild ginseng that was more than 30 years old, from the grain store warehouse in Ping'an Town.

It may be because of the recent raids by thieves and the blockage of trade routes, and there are a lot of medicinal materials stored in the warehouses of grain stores.

Although the medicinal materials taken by Wang Hong were less than one-tenth of the entire warehouse, the actual value was close to 30,000 taels of silver, more than half of the total price of those medicinal materials!

In addition to the precious elixirs he needed for medicinal baths, there were also many common medicinal materials on the earth planet, among which the ginseng that was relatively easy to sell was swept away by him as long as it was more than twenty years old.

Originally, Wang Hong wanted to give Yan Hao a long face, so he brought this wild ginseng worth at least 50,000 yuan.

But when he saw the gifts registered by others, he suddenly felt that he had been hasty again.

may be because of Li Ying's father, the gifts given by other people are basically in the tens of thousands, including Yan Hao, who only gave a donkey bag of more than 8,000.

As an escort, if the value of the gift he gives is too high, he will definitely be suspected of taking the lead.

Therefore, when Wang Hong registered, he had to lower the year of ginseng and say that it was 20 years of wild ginseng, so that although it was still a little conspicuous, it would not be too abrupt.

"When did you become a local tyrant? Twenty-year-old wild ginseng costs at least twenty or thirty thousand, and you pay so much money for a meal? ”

Yan Hao went to Miss Li just now to offer courtesy, and only after coming back did he know what gift Wang Hong had given, so he immediately pulled him and complained in a low voice.

"It's not that exaggerated, I've been in the medicinal herb business recently, and I have a channel to get goods at a low price."

Wang Hong said casually, anyway, it was something that he got by hand, and he wouldn't feel distressed at all if he sent it out.

Yan Hao was stunned and asked suspiciously, "Aren't you making jade, why are you going to engage in the medicinal herb business again?" These are all big investments, and easy to eye-catching, not afraid of losing pants? ”

Wang Hong shook his head with a smile, and didn't explain in detail, he couldn't say that what I did was trading without capital, and there was no possibility of losing money.

At this moment, the two of them had already sat down at the table, and there were other friends of Miss Li around them, although they spoke quietly, but the people next to them still heard something.

On Wang Hong's left hand sat a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old man, who first greeted Yan Hao with a smile, and then asked, "Haozi, is this gentleman your friend?" ”

Yan Hao nodded and said: "This is my college roommate, a native of Guangling, S Province, and there are many big supermarkets in the local area, and I recently traveled to Furong City. ”

Introduce friends to friends, especially friends from other places who will not be contacted by the other party in the future, naturally they can blow as much as they can, not only do friends have more face, but they also have face.

Compared with Wang Hong, who doesn't like to socialize, Yan Hao is obviously deep in this regard.

Later, Yan Hao introduced the man who asked Wang Hong, this person's name is Zhang Shun, his family has a transportation company, but he himself has been admitted to the civil service examination and developed within the system.

For this kind of person who has nothing to do with him after today, Wang Hong doesn't want to waste his energy to communicate at all, so he simply copes with two sentences and no longer takes the initiative to speak.

On the contrary, Zhang Shun asked him many times about the medicinal materials, but he did not express his intention to buy them, which made Wang Hong gradually become a little impatient.
