CP25 calls home
No matter how entangled Su Yue and Old Man Ma were, Chu Xiaobai still didn't let go, and told them the fact that he had other good things in his hands. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The road should be taken step by step, and the meal should be eaten one bite at a time.
Is there any benefit to taking something good out of the way in one go, in addition to being a big surprise?
Chu Xiaobai is just an ordinary person in the real world, and he took out a set of Ru kiln porcelain, and he can still say that he inadvertently bought it. If you take out too many things, you can't explain it - if you've been in the antiques business for a long time, how can you still be so poor? If you're just getting involved, where do you get all this stuff from?
Besides, Chu Xiaobai is not in a hurry to use the money now.
Whether it is tens of millions, hundreds of millions, the money obtained after the auction of Ruyao tea sets, Chu Xiaobai has indeed thought of a purpose. However, whether it is to buy a house or a car for yourself, or to improve the living conditions of your family, it is not an urgent matter that you have to deal with in the first place.
It's expected to be auctioned at the autumn auction conference, and it's only about two months away, so can't you wait?
Or to put it more bluntly, even if you can get the money now, you can't spend it right away.
Don't take time to get a driver's license? Don't take time to buy a house and find a house? Even if you want to build a new house for your family, won't it take time to convince your parents to find land for design drawings?
There is no hurry in time, and the total amount of funds has fully met the needs, under such a premise, there is really no need to take more things out and make side dishes.
It took two days, while waiting for Sotheby's to mobilize more appraisers to come over to jointly identify the authenticity of the items, and at the same time, he found a relationship to help introduce a lawyer, signed a commission contract, and handed over the Ruyao porcelain to Su Yue for her to take to Hong Kong City for publicity before the auction, and then, Chu Xiaobai returned to his usual life again, and retracted back to the rented hut again.
In total, I haven't called home for almost a week. (I stayed in the Dragon World for a year, which is equivalent to four days in the real world, and it took two days to consign the auction)
Although he also thought about reporting the news to his family when the money arrived, considering the psychological tolerance of the family members, and considering that they might not be able to accept such an exaggerated fact for a while, Chu Xiaobai finally decided to call earlier, say hello in advance, and leave time for the family to be mentally prepared.
As soon as the phone was connected, before he could speak, when he heard the voice from the other side, a speechless expression appeared on Chu Xiaobai's face.
"Mom, are you playing cards again?"
"Bump~! Fifty thousand don't move, I touched it~! The crisp sound made when the mahjong tiles collided rang several times, and then the voice of Chu Xiaobai's mother came from the phone: "Baby, why did you call back at this time?" It's not a Sunday~. ā
"Didn't you go out to play cards on Sunday? Mom, can't your old lady take a break? ā
"Thirty thousand? Don't move, I'll touch it again~! Old Madam Chu shouted in shock, which startled Chu Xiaobai: "What are you resting, do you know that your mother and I are retired?" I rest three hundred and sixty-five days a year, and I'm going to grow hair when I rest. You melon baby and don't hurry up and bring me a daughter-in-law back, if there is a daughter-in-law, your mother and I still have to find someone to play cards to kill time? ā
"Mom, I'm only in my twenties? You....... ā
"Your classmates are married, you know? By the way, remember your elementary school classmate XXX, right? His baby can walk, I only saw him two days ago, it's fun. You melon baby, hurry up to find a daughter-in-law, hurry up to give birth to a grandson to your mother, and with a grandson, I still play cards? There is not enough time to play with grandchildren. ā
Is that fun? Hearing his mother's words that were so out of tune, Chu Xiaobai's face suddenly darkened. If it weren't for the fact that his kung fu was not as good as his mother, he would have to say a few more words to his mother.
"Forget it, you old man can continue to play yours. Mom, where's my dad? Are you at home or outside in the card room? ā
"Your dad? I'm watching TV, you wait a minute, I'll give him the phone. ā
agreed, and Chu Xiaobai heard a very, very unreliable greeting from the other end of the phone: "Old man Chu, your son is looking for you, hurry up." Do you know that watching TV, the little girl who jumps around is so good-looking? Look at the strength of your squinting eyes when you take a puff of cigarette, Meidi is very ....... ā
"What's the call? Why don't you go to heaven? Father Chu is not a wilted eggplant, and after counting down Mother Chu, he took the phone: "Baby, what's the matter?" ā
"Dad, you find a quiet place first, I have something to talk about. It's a big deal, so don't let outsiders hear it. Although he knew that his mother would not play cards with unreliable card friends, let alone lead people with bad relationships to his home, considering that the matter was really big, Chu Xiaobai still said hello to his father first.
"Yo, do you have something to whisper? Is there anything I can't hear? ā
"Playing your cards, where are so many things?"
Hearing a click again, it was obvious that Father Chu had entered the room.
"Okay, let's talk, what's the 'big' thing?"
"Dad, that's a big deal." Hearing the disdain in his father's words, Chu Xiaobai rolled his eyes again. Slowed down and sorted out his thoughts, and then he changed to a very serious tone and began to say to his father: "Didn't I go on a business trip a few days ago? When I was out playing, I saw a set of porcelain in the countryside. Originally, I was going to bring it back to make tea for you, but later my colleague told me that it looked like an antique. ā
"You also know, I work in Qindu, and I also know some friends who play with antiques here. After listening to my colleague's words, I took my things and went to my friends to have a look. And guess what? That thing is really an antique, and it is also a good thing ...... the Song Dynasty. ā
"Okay, okay, you just say it's worth a lot of money~." Sure enough, it was worthy of a family, and as soon as he heard Chu Xiaobai's words, he knew that he wanted to be embarrassed. I was too lazy to listen to it so much, and I didn't think he could pick up much of a leak, so Daddy Chu simply cut off Chu Xiaobai's nagging.
"......, Dad, can't you make me happy?"
"What's there to be happy about? If you bring a daughter-in-law back and let me and your mother have a good time, I promise to make you happy every time in the future~. ā
"......, why are you like Mom? That's what happens every day. Unexpectedly, he was urged by his father again, and Chu Xiaobai's temples bulged unconsciously: "Okay, okay, I'll talk about things first." ......, wait a minute, where did I say? ā
"......, you ask me?"
"I didn't ask you, I didn't ask~! Don't count me down, wait for me to think about it. Come to think of it, didn't I say that my friend saw my thing and said it was an antique? Then, I thought about how careless you were when you drank tea, and as far as I can remember, you had broken seven or eight teapots. I thought, what a pity if you accidentally smashed this antique teapot for you. ā
"Instead of taking it back for you to listen to, it's better to sell it for money, didn't you say that you want to repair the old house at home during the Chinese New Year? So, I found an auction house on the Internet and contacted them to say that they were going to sell it. The day before yesterday, I met with someone from an auction house, and guess what the price of the teapot and cup they picked up for me was? ā
"How much is it worth? Is it enough for 10,000? "Hearing Chu Xiaobai mention 'repairing the old house', Father Chu naturally thought of the expenses to be prepared for repairing the old house.
"Ten thousand? Dad, can you be reliable? I'm looking for Sotheby's auction house in Hong Kong City, which is only worth 10,000 yuan, and people will send experts from Hong Kong City? The airfare is not enough. ā
"You melon baby, didn't you say how do I know where people come from? Also, I'm your old man, don't scream in front of me, be careful to come back and whip you with a stick, understand? ā
"......, Dad, can we talk without the threat of force?"
"Then what are you talking about? Hurry up and say, how much is that thing worth~! ā
"Well, I don't know ...... specifically."
"I don't know what else you're talking about? Do you have fun with me? I haven't beaten you in a while, and your skin is itchy? ā
"Dad, can you listen to me? I don't know how much the 'exactly' is, do you hear me? It's 'concrete'~! I still know how much it is. They said that the set I found was better than the last one their company sold for a record, and the auction price could be higher than that one. ā
"So, how much is that? One more word of warning to you, boy, one more wordy word, the boss will break your legs with a stick~! ā
Hearing the impatience in Daddy's words, and feeling that Daddy was a little nervous, Chu Xiaobai hurriedly said: "Aren't I afraid that saying the numbers in one breath will scare your old man enough, so I deliberately said a few more words to make you mentally prepared?" People said that that set of things is worth at least tens of millions, and if it is as they expected, the price is higher than the one in the last auction, hehe, then it may sell for more than 200 million. ā
"How much?" Although he had already made some psychological preparations because of Chu Xiaobai's reminder, when he heard such a super large number as 200 million, Father Chu couldn't help but gasp.
"Less than tens of millions, more than 200 million."
......, silence, long silence.
"Baby~! Received it, it's a big deal~! Our baby is nervous, hurry up, pack up your things~! Go to Qin Capital to find him~! ā
All of a sudden, the phone was hung up. And before that, Chu Xiaobai faintly heard a chaotic shout.
Looking at the phone in his hand that had gone black, Chu Xiaobai had several thick black lines hanging on his head.
