Bai Rice Fish and Chu Xiangqian were stunned at the same time, is a secret path fur so valuable?

One scolded himself that the climate on Hong Kong Island is warm, and the fur market is indeed sluggish.

But Europe and the United States prefer fur more than Asians, and even rich women's attitude towards fur is not an exaggeration to say crazy.

A fox fur that is very well processed and in excellent condition, just made into a scarf, may be able to sell for tens of pounds, or even hundreds of pounds.

Converted to Hong Kong dollars, it is hundreds, thousands.

Of course, people dare to sell it so expensive, and more they are selling brands.

In the future, the bags of the Celestial Empire and Guangdong can not be seen from the professionals of luxury companies, but the bags of Guangdong are hundreds, and the bags of luxury companies are tens of thousands.

Maybe even those luxury bags were produced by the Celestial Empire.

Where did the rice fish dare to be perfunctory in this matter, and hurriedly asked, "How many pounds is a piece?" ”

Daguang hesitated for a few seconds, and said with an incomprehensible expression on his face, "Lao Zhang said that those 50 fox skins are the best batch he has ever seen.

You can sell it for £50 a piece. ”

According to the exchange rate of 1 to 16, it is 800 Hong Kong dollars per piece.

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but pay attention to the three foxes that were refreshed every day in the novice village.

2,400 a day, 72,000 a month, 860,004 a year.

It's already a huge amount of money in the years.

Bai Fanyu calculated in his heart, sent Daguang to the table on the side for breakfast, and said in a low voice, "Achu, then calculate it according to the total price of 240,000, how about it?" ”

Chu Xiangqian naturally had no opinion, "Okay, I'll take advantage of Uncle." ”

Bai Fanyu waved his hand, "It's just a little money, can we still care about this money?" ”

Chu Xiangqian laughed, "Uncle, I think it's difficult for you not to want the pennant." ”

Seeing that Bai Fanyu's face changed slightly, Chu Xiangqian also let go of his ridicule, "Okay, okay, just kidding, I'm trying to ask my family to acquiesce that you can do some small business with Yuedi."

It's just that the relationship on Hong Kong Island has to be opened up by you. Perhaps, when the time comes, the two of us will be able to take a large share of the mainland's agricultural exports. ”

The rice fish laughed at this time.

With a roll of his eyes, he said, "Then why don't we set up another import and export company?" ”

Chu Xiangqian was naturally willing to send grain and meat to the mainland in the future, and exchange them for things from the mainland and transport them to Hong Kong Island for sale.

This creates a business cycle, which is good for everyone.

However, this matter is not in a hurry for the time being, and this batch of grain must be transported back first, and the above will seriously consider this matter.

"It's okay to start a new company in partnership, but this matter can't be rushed, after all, the mainland itself is not doing very well now."

After breakfast, Bai Rice Fish pulled Chu forward and went to Kwai Chung Pier.

In just one morning, Chu Xiangqian saw that this old guy's face and relationship on Hong Kong Island far exceeded his estimates.

After borrowing grain, Chu Xiangqian learned that the price of rice on Hong Kong Island was 34 yuan and 6 cents.

However, the unit of measurement on Hong Kong Island is different from that in the mainland.

One catty is equal to 605 grams, that is to say, Hong Kong Island still uses the unit of measurement of one catty and sixteen taels.

In other words, 1 Dan on the Hong Kong Island side is equal to 121 catties in the mainland, which is equal to 2 yuan 8 cents and 6 cents per catty.

This price is only 5 cents and 6 cents higher than the price of rice in the mainland last year. And that's still without taking into account food stamps.

Of course, if it is a normal year, if there is no shortage of grain in the mainland, you can go to the grain station with the household registration book and the grain book and buy the ration ration for each person at a price of 2 cents and 3.

In this way, food stamps can only be regarded as vouchers for the purchase of grain, not valuable bills.

However, in the future, the mainland will abolish the rule of buying grain directly from the grain capital, and change it to a person with a ration of 33 catties, and you will be issued a 33 catties of food stamps every month.

That's when food stamps really became valuable bills.

240,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy grain, the price is 6 cents cheaper, but 291 tons of grain are bought from grain merchants, measured in the mainland.

There were 582,000 catties of grain, but Chu Xiangqian only took half an hour to collect half of the grain, that is, 291,000 catties of grain, into the warehouse of the novice village.

Of course, the harvest must have avoided everyone, and when he got out of the warehouse in the dock, not only was it locked, but also let the stare stare at it, and Da Zhuang and the red girl were still in the warehouse.

Bai Fanyu and Daguang and the others didn't think about it at all, Chu Xiangqian just went in to check it out, and took away half of the grain.

Moreover, Chu Qianqian also collected the part of the grain bags against the wall, even if someone came in and didn't climb on top of the stacks of grain bags, he couldn't see the problem.

In case someone steals food, as soon as the dog barks, the other party immediately has to run.

The staff in the dock will not force the lock in.

Leaving the dock in the car, Bai Fanyu wanted to ask Chu Qianqian about transporting grain, and if he needed help.

But when the words came to his lips, Daguang, who remembered that he was driving, didn't know that this batch of grain was sent to the mainland, so he immediately changed the topic and said, "What time does the plane arrive?" ”

Chu Qianqian looked at his watch and said, "Charles, that ghost guy said, it's about four o'clock in the afternoon." ”

After hearing this, Bai Fanyu said to Daguang, "When you see the phone booth, call Ji Ziwen and ask them to drive a truck to wait outside the airport." ”

More than an hour later, the car came to the outside of the Kowloon Kai Tak Airport, met the truck of Ji Ziwen, and drove all the way into the runway where the private jet was parked.

Not long after, not only Charles arrived, but Blue Steel also came over in advance with his men.

With Charles here, the truck passed the checkpoint without a hitch.

However, outside the hangar next to the tarmac, a Rolls-Royce 2nd generation Silver Cloud and two Mercedes-Benz have been parked.

Chu Xiangqian only thought that he was here to pick up Norton's car, so he didn't pay attention to it.

At 4:20 p.m., the plane that Chu Xiangqian had seen last time landed smoothly on the runway and slowly taxied outside the hangar.

As soon as the cabin door opened, Norton, the kid, walked out impatiently, and saw Chu Qianqian standing not far away, hurriedly beckoning and walking down the gangway quickly.

When he opened his hand, he wanted to hug Chu Xiangqian.

It's a pity that as soon as Chu stretched out his hand forward, he pressed it on his forehead.

Charles, Blue Steel, and White Rice Fish on the side were dumbfounded.

Norton reacted in a hurried tone and said, "I'm sorry, master, I forgot that you are not used to Western etiquette. ”

Chu glanced at Norton and looked at a woman standing outside the hatch.

Secretly said that this kid is so unreliable, and he actually brought a woman over.

Frowning at Norton, he asked, "Are you here for business, or are you here for a vacation with a woman?" ”

Norton shook his head hurriedly, "Master, that's my aunt, she's in a bad mood for some reason. When I heard that I was coming to Hong Kong Island, I had to come along.

I didn't say yes at first, but I didn't expect her to board the plane before the plane took off, so I could only take her over to relax. ”

After Chu Xiangqian listened, his brows furrowed even deeper.

The Norton family's interpersonal relationships have long been clear from Charles's mouth.

And Mountbatten is also an old friend to the people of the Celestial Empire, although he himself may not necessarily approve of it, but in fact, if it weren't for him, Lao Ba would not have built the country.

At the same time, it is also because of his persuasion that the 565 princely states on Ah San's side will join Yindu, otherwise, it may become hundreds of small countries.

What made Chu Xiangqian admire Mountbatten the most was that during World War II, this old man was probably beaten too badly by the islanders on the battlefield in Southeast Asia, so he has always been extremely disgusted and hostile to the islanders, and even longed to completely split the island country.

So Chu Xiangqian already had a certain understanding of this family, and knew that Norton only had one aunt, but when he counted his age, he didn't match the woman standing outside the cabin door and walking down.

Just as he was thinking about who this woman was, out of the corner of his eye, he found that Charles, the ghost, first rubbed his eyes, and then his excited hands began to tremble, and he stepped forward quickly, and his attitude was as respectful as he was.

No matter how stupid Chu Xiangqian was, he also realized that there was something wrong with this woman's identity.

Staring at Norton, he asked, "Who the hell is this lady?" ”

Norton shook his head again, "Master, you don't care, she will take the car and leave first, we don't have to worry about her." ”

Chu Xiangqian was a little relieved at this time, stood still, looked at the woman and said a few words to Charles very perfunctorily, and then went straight to Yinyun and left.

However, when the car turned a corner, Chu Xiangqian still saw the woman looking towards him and Norton.

Fortunately, the car drove away quickly, and Chu Xiangqian and Norton got on the plane.

I first said hello to Norton's bodyguard Ward and another bodyguard named Langdon, and then entered the warehouse.

In addition to some suitcases, there were also ten wooden boxes half a person high and one meter five wide.

"There are 120 pieces of porcelain, 24 calligraphy and paintings, 6 bronzes, and 15 oil paintings in the ten chests. ”

Chu Xiangqian's heartbeat began to accelerate as soon as he heard it, and the last time Norton's bodyguard Ward sent Picasso's 10 oil paintings, he said that the total value of this batch of antiques would reach 80,000 pounds.

But looking at it like this, it should be more than 80,000.

The worst thing about buying antiques from Europeans and Americans is that antiques that only cost 100 yuan in the mainland cost hundreds, or even one or two thousand, abroad.

Otherwise, there would not be so many people who secretly steal antiques from the mainland and sell them abroad.

Norton nodded to Ward, and Chu Xiangqian quickly took the list handed over by Ward.

Don't look at the porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, and bronzes first, the things are here, and you are not afraid to run away.

Looking at the 15 oil paintings, 3 are by Picasso, 3 are by Malevich, 5 are Kandinsky, and 4 are by Haad Richter, Chu Xiangqian's heart can't help but beat faster.

In addition to Picasso, although the other three painters will not be famous in the Celestial Empire in the future, as long as they have paid attention to the oil painting market, they basically know that these three are actually very famous.

A painting can cost as little as a few million dollars, or as much as 10 million or 20 million casually.

Just like Malevich's paintings, they have been sold for a whopping $85 million in 18 years.

For just 3 Malevich paintings, Chu Xiangqian is willing to buy them for 80,000 pounds.

Not to mention 3 paintings by Picasso and 9 other painters who are no less famous than Malevich.

Of course, these people are just like Picasso in these years, they are famous, but the price of the paintings has not yet been copied.

It's tantamount to picking up a big leak.

Chu Xiangqian was happy in his heart, but his face showed dissatisfaction, and he frowned and looked at Norton and Ward.

Norton shrugged, "Master, don't look at Malevich and Kandinsky as Tsarist Russians, but their fame is actually not small.

It's just that because of the position, the price is not high, and it is not very popular with the market.

As for Harder Richter, although he was still very young and also an East German, my personal advisor told me that in the future the young painter would definitely be very famous. ”

Chu Xiangqian glanced at Norton angrily, but his heart blossomed.

Listening to this, it will be easy to ask for a few more by yourself.

And if it weren't for these reasons, these 15 oil paintings would not have reached my own hands.

Seeing that Chu Xiangqian didn't say anything, Norton was relieved, and hurriedly said, "Master, these cultural relics are a total of 100,000 pounds, and if you want to exchange the remaining 200,000 for Hong Kong dollars, we can go to the bank tomorrow."

Or just give you cash in pounds. ”

With that, Norton nodded to the bodyguard named Langdon, and soon a box containing 200,000 pounds was placed on a wooden box.

Chu Xiangqian didn't want to accept pounds.

Compared to the US dollar, the pound will fall faster in the future.

But on second thought, whether the pound falls or not, the exchange rate of the pound against the Hong Kong dollar will be fixed for the next ten years or so.

And with pounds, it is easy to go to banks in Europe, the United States or Hong Kong Island to exchange gold.

In addition, the mainland definitely prefers to accept pounds sterling rather than Hong Kong dollars.

Chu Xiangqian didn't say anything, and nodded at Norton, "I will find someone to identify and value these antiques." ”

After saying that, after opening the suitcase and making sure that there were 200,000 pounds, he continued to say to Norton, "Let's go, take you to see the white tiger." ”

Norton nodded hurriedly, and Ward and Langdon became excited.

The four of them got off the plane, Chu Xiangqian shouted to Ji Ziwen, and then began to introduce Blue Steel and White Rice Fish.

As for Charles, he had already laughed and laughed with Norton.

Norton was very kind of Chu Xiangxiang, and after shaking hands with Lan Gang and Bai Fanyu, he said a lot of polite words without any impatience.

Bai Rice Fish doesn't know English, but Lan Gang not only knows English, but also Belgian and Spanish.

This can be said to be very rare among the Chinese poor guys of the era.

When Lan Gang gave a pair of steel-bone fans, Chu Xiangqian took them first, played with them in his hand for a while, and then put them in Norton's hand.

This kid had already been surprised by Chu Xiangqian's fan-shaking technique just now, and he was very satisfied with this gift.

The favorability of Blue Steel suddenly soared.

not only said a few words of thanks, but also spread out the fan and begged Chu Xiangqian to teach him how to be handsome.

Chu Xiangqian naturally will not refuse, a Norton teenager has a good heart, and he is not bad. The second explained that Blue Steel bought an iron bone fan to make Norton, but it was just for Charles.

After chatting for a while, the truck slowly drove over.

Chu Qian grabbed Norton, who was about to climb into the truck, and said to Ward and Langdon, "Gentlemen, when you lift the veil, move a little smaller, so as not to disturb the white tiger."

Then there was a tiger roar, which led the staff and police at the airport over. ”

Ward and Langdon looked at each other, and there was fear in their hearts for no reason.

Humans' fear of tigers, lions, and bears has long been deeply engraved in our genes.

Hearing the mantle, something moving, and even hitting the cage a few times, Ward and Langdon hesitated for a moment before they had the courage to climb into the truck.

Lifting the curtain a little, Ward suddenly met the white tiger he had seen.

In an instant, a chill rushed to his head from the soles of his feet, and the frightened Ward hurriedly put down the veil.

He stammered and said to Langdon, "No, that's right, it's a living, alive White Tiger." ”

Seeing this, Langdon couldn't help but laugh at Ward in his heart.

But when he lifted the curtain and looked inside, the white tiger stretched out its claws violently, pounced and slammed into the iron railing.

The frightened Langdon subconsciously stepped back and sat on the truck.

Not only did Chu Xiangqian laugh at this time, but Lan Gang, Bai Fanyu, Charles, Ji Ziwen and others couldn't help but upturn the corners of their mouths and laughed silently.

Chu Qianqian patted Norton, who had a frightened expression on his face, but was faintly eager to try it in his heart, "I suggest that this tiger be airlifted back to England immediately, so as not to be discovered by Hong Kong Island, and it is very likely that this white tiger will not be allowed to leave." ”

Norton knew that Chu Xiangqian was right, the recorded white tiger did not appear in the zoo until 51 years, and if it was rumored that a white tiger appeared on Hong Kong Island, the Hong Kong government would 100% fight.

Busy said to Chu Xiangqian, "Master, since this white tiger is fine, then you can find someone to help carry it on the plane." ”

Chu Xiangqian nodded at the white rice fish, and soon more than a dozen people who carried the white tiger from the fishing boat and the iron cage last night and carried it onto the truck were put in.

After an experience and a day with this tiger, these dozen people were not only not afraid, but also reliable.

It didn't take long to lift the iron cage off the truck and onto the plane through the open cargo aisle of the plane.

Then, according to Chu Xiangqian's instructions, he carefully lifted ten boxes containing antiques onto the truck one by one.

Lan Gang and Charles were very curious about what was in these boxes, but unfortunately Chu Xiangqian wouldn't say it, let alone Norton, Ward, and Langdon.

Only Bai Fanyu whispered to Chu Xiangqian in surprise, "How many of our antiques do you need?" ”

Chu shrugged his shoulders forward, and also whispered, "No matter how many pieces he has, anyway, it won't be in my hands for a few days, and it will be shipped back to the mainland." ”

Only then did Bai Fanyu extinguish his curiosity, and secretly said that Achu is really smart, with this batch of antiques to the mainland, he will be regarded as a person who will be focused on in the mainland in the future.

As long as it is not chaotic, and the British want to trouble him, they have to ask the mainland first whether they will agree.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian also caught up with the nobles of England, and the ghost guys on Hong Kong Island were definitely more reluctant to trouble him at will.

For a moment, Bai Fanyu regretted that his daughter had married early.

Unfortunately, this idea can only be imagined.

After all the antiques got into the car, Norton couldn't help but pull Chu forward to get on the plane and see the white tiger with his own eyes.

Fortunately, as soon as the plane door closes, even if the tiger roars, the sound will be weakened by the plane a lot.

Chu Qianqian saw that Ward and Langdon were hesitant to lift the curtain, so he sneered in his heart, stretched out his hand, and pulled the entire curtain off.

Norton suddenly became excited, but when he saw the tiger looking at him, and his forehead was wrinkled, revealing two long fangs to keep roaring and roaring at him, Norton instantly felt his scalp tingle, and a chill rushed to the top of his head.

Within a few seconds, his face turned pale, and he subconsciously hid behind Chu Qianqian.

Chu Xiangqian laughed, took the initiative to step forward, stretched out his hand and slapped it on the iron cage.

What was shocking was that the white tiger, which was still showing its teeth and claws just now, actually showed a frightened look and stuck backwards to the other end of the iron cage.

Since he caught this white tiger, Chu Xiangqian has fed it more than once in the novice village, and more than once released it to be used as a sandbag to practice the double shape of the tiger and crane in Hong Boxing.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian's physical strength was extraordinary, and this fight was several hours, which had already made this white tiger afraid of him.

Seeing this, Norton looked at Chu Qianqian's gaze, which was called a worship.

Ward and Langdon on the side also had expressions of disbelief.

Fortunately, the three of them quickly realized that since this tiger was brought by Chu Xiangqian, they heard that he had also returned to the Celestial Empire.

Thinking about Chu Xiangqian himself and being a real kung fu master, then this tiger would be afraid of him, and it makes sense.

Chu Qianqian looked back at Norton and asked, "Have you seen enough?" ”

Norton came back to his senses, nodded his head, and said lamentingly, "If only I could see it hunting." ”

After hearing this, Chu Xiangqian put the curtain back on, and while carefully tying it with a rope, he also checked the iron cage again and again, and then stepped off the plane with confidence.

Norton didn't want to go back to England now, and besides, he had a troublesome aunt with him.

If you don't bring people back, you will definitely be scolded and even grounded.

Busy said to Langdon, "Langdon, you escort this white tiger back with the plane, and then tell my grandfather to send someone over to bring Her Royal Highness Margaret back as soon as possible." ”

Langdon didn't want to go back to England so soon, but he couldn't help but listen to Norton's words.

I could only look at Ward enviously, and then I agreed.

Refueled the plane, did a simple check, and finally took off and took to the skies an hour later.

Chu Xiangqian took his car keys from Daguang and took Norton into the car, this kid took the co-pilot seat first, and Ward was embarrassed to sit in the back seat, so he could only take Charles's car.

When the convoy arrived at Nathan Road, Chu Xiangqian wanted Lan Gang and the others to go to the seafood restaurant by the sea first, while he took the truck home.

It's just that Lan Gang and Bai Fanyu were worried that there would be problems with too many boxes, so they had to go back to the dry goods store together.

There were more than a dozen strong laborers, and in a few words, ten boxes were moved into the house.

Chu Xiangqian, who was the last to come out, also put away all the boxes casually.

In an instant, the sound of increasing the 4,850 gold coupon sounded in my head.

Immediately, the aperture outside the novice village rapidly expanded outward, until it expanded to 108.57 meters before stopping.

Before Chu Xiangqian could take a closer look, a horn sounded behind him.

Looking back, Lan Gang pointed to his watch and signaled to hurry up.

In desperation, Chu Xiangqian could only close the door first, get into the car and leave behind Lan Gang's car.

Cross the sea to Wan Chai Pier, all the way to a large seafood restaurant in Central.

Chu Xiangqian just got out of the car, and when he subconsciously looked left and right, he suddenly saw a guy with a familiar face, who was standing outside the western restaurant on the left side of the street opposite the hotel and looking at himself.

Nima's, this guy seems to be the giant man in the Guardians of the Galaxy who plays the 'Destroyer'.

Then I remembered again in my mind, it seemed to be the 'reading' seller in the movie Zhang Tianzhi.
