Zhao Bailu helped before and after.

She never asked where she got these things.

Anyway, she has confidence in Chen Linzhi and thinks that she will neither steal nor rob, so that's it.

If it was found somewhere, but the land was owned by a private person, from a legal point of view, the thing should belong to the owner of the land, but out of selfishness, she knew that Chen Linzhi was in need of this valuable gold and silver now.

So it's better not to ask.

lest if you know the source, you will worry about your heart, and there will be a conflict between your values and your own selfishness, which will only increase your troubles.

Zhao Bailu is such a smart and rational girl.

A few days ago, she skipped class from a cram training class and secretly ran to the gate of the San Francisco County Jail to wait for Chen Linzhi, which was already the most outrageous move she had ever done over the years.

Whether from the perspective of growth experience or the current situation of life, the two seem to live in two worlds, probably as big as the gap between the upper class and the bottom of society, and there is a middle class in between.

Because Chen Linzhi took care of her when she was a child, even if he was locked up for a few months, Zhao Bailu could recognize him as a good person.

Just finished researching the value of gold and silver coins.

From Zhao Bailu's small backpack, there was a sudden sound of dripping, Chen Linzhi was wondering what was wrong, only to see her take out a ...... from her bag Motorola phones.

Zhao Bailu's adoptive mother called her and asked if she would go home for dinner in the evening.

She subconsciously looked at Chen Linzhi and replied in a low voice that she wanted to read a book and go back later.

Landlines are very common in these days, and mobile phones are a rare item.

found that Zhao Bailu actually had a mobile phone, not to mention the shocking Yin Ting, even Chen Linzhi couldn't help but look sideways.

Yin Yu's expression was exaggerated: "I didn't see it, it's actually a little rich woman! I can't afford this gadget with a year's salary, can you let me try it and make a phone call?"

"Absolutely. ”

Zhao Bailu stretched out his hand and handed it over, but was stopped by Chen Linzhi.

He told Yin Yu: "There is a phone booth at the entrance of the library, and it is a waste of money to use this to make calls." The new technology that has just come out for a short time, and in the future, the streets will definitely be full of mobile phones, and Motorola will definitely make a profit, how about the signal?. ”

"It's okay, outdoor is better than indoor, I traveled to the Central Valley some time ago, I couldn't get a call at all, and it delayed my mother's business, she was helping a company in a lawsuit. ”

Yin Yu was not in a hurry, he wanted to call just to try it.

I learned that the phone bill was very expensive, so I didn't mention it anymore, after all, I saw her a few days ago, and I wasn't familiar with Zhao Bailu yet, so I didn't have to worry about these small details.

"One of your parents is a police detective and the other is a lawyer, it seems that the family that adopted you was very good, don't waste the opportunity, work hard and study hard.

Also, what university are you going to apply for? I have a little experience in this area, and I can help you plan for it, some potential stocks are quite good, and the future graduation certificate can appreciate in value. ”

Chen Linzhi was referring to Stanford University.

Until then, it was still a second-rate private school, but the school was located in Silicon Valley, where high-tech companies were clustered, and it seized the development of the computer industry, and it became more famous than many Ivy League colleges in the future.

Now it is not good, which means that the admission score line will not be too high, which is what Chen Linzhi called "the graduation book can appreciate".

Just like many universities are suddenly merged by good schools, luck in choosing a university is also important.

From the mouth of this scumbag friend, Yin Yu heard that he actually had the experience of choosing a university, so he couldn't hold back for a moment, and laughed out loud.

unabashedly ridiculed: "You haven't even got your high school diploma, don't harm other people's little girls here, in case you pick the wrong university, be careful that her mother sues you for misleading people." ”

Zhao Bailu smiled, nodded and said seriously: "I have already chosen a school, if nothing else, it should be Harvard, Yale, my mother wants me to study law or finance, and it is possible to go abroad to see it, go to Cambridge, England, the daughter of the governor of California and my mother are friends, and I should be able to get a weighty letter of recommendation." ”

“...... When I didn't say it, they were all at the top of the pyramid, and it didn't make much difference which one to choose. As the old saying goes, this is called talent, and it is not difficult to live. ”

Chen Linzhi didn't think of an allusion about Bai Juyi for no reason.

After hearing this, Yin Yu smiled even more happily.

He thought that Chen Linzhi had taken a fancy to this little girl, and he was afraid of being crushed by Caixue, so he began to deliberately pretend to be Sven.

In fact, the story behind this sentence, Yin Yu didn't understand it at all.

Zhao Bailu obviously knew, and came to the sentence: "Chang'an is expensive." ”

looked at Chen Linzhi and smiled......

-------------------------------------

I wanted to go back to Chinatown directly, find a shop that collects antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and see if they can accept these gold coins.

Zhao Bailu said that he knew a family and had seen similar goods in it.

Chen Linzhi is currently short of money, not an ordinary shortage, it is about to reach the point where it is difficult to move an inch without money, of course, it is more important to make a living than keeping his own collection and playing.

So without saying a word, I decided to try my luck at the store introduced by Zhao Bailu first.

With the atmosphere of Chinatown, it is not easy for even small vendors to deal with, let alone those old foxes who are upside down with antique literature.

took a taxi, and Yin Yu sat in the co-pilot seat very interestingly.

The driver was a black man, and he was in a bad mood, babbling about the short distance and the fact that he couldn't make any money.

Within minutes, they arrived near San Francisco's Union Square.

Zhao Bailu often comes to watch movies and go shopping with her family, and she is very familiar with this area, so she directly finds the right place.

Just in time before the shopkeeper was about to close, he explained his intention.

The white shopkeeper led them in, spread a red cloth on the glass case, and prepared the lamp, brush, electronic scale, and so on.

Chen Linzhi placed all the coins in his hand one by one, and put the ring inlaid with emerald gemstones on it, ready to sell it together.

There are many old coins on display, as well as antique artworks from various countries, including blue and white porcelain with clearly marked prices, katanas, old European table lamps, and so on.

This is San Francisco, it is not popular to leave the container, no return and other overlord terms, all the goods in the store are marked with prices, and you can also issue invoices after buying, as long as the customer proves that he bought a fake, which does not meet the store's statement, it is no problem to go directly to court to sue for fraud.

In Chen Linzhi's eyes, it is simply a paradise for shopping, but unfortunately there is no money for the time being, and I don't know much about these old things.

The owner is in his forties, wears glasses, and has a beard on his chin and cheeks, black and white.

He took a moment to read through them one by one, and said in a firm tone:

"It's all right, have you found a treasure?

These gold and silver coins were apparently stored in a sealed environment for a long time, and had previously flowed through, so although they were well preserved, they still did not have too much collectible value, and there were too many scratches and wear to be collectible.

But this ring is a bit interesting, with a badge on the back, a crown and a shield, and a traditional cutting process, if you can find the source, it is likely to be more valuable. In ancient times, each coat of arms was unique and a symbol of the family, and perhaps I could ask my friends in England, some experts have studied this aspect more. ”

In a downtown area like Union Square, there is such a large antique grocery store.

The owner's family background should not be bad, at least not so bad.

In addition, the batch of things that Chen Linzhi had in hand were a little worth a little money, but they were not too valuable rare goods, so the shopkeeper was quite calm and did not move his mind.

"It's not a treasure, it's a collection of the old man in the family, he died during World War II, and it wasn't discovered until it was renovated. Chen Linzhi said with a smile.

Nonsense is most afraid that he will panic first, what he says is half-false and half-true, and what he says is the same as the real thing.

The shopkeeper didn't suspect that he had seen a lot of such things, and it was normal, so he asked, "So what are you going to do with this batch of things?"

"Gold and silver coins, if the price is right, will be sold to you.

But wait for the ring first, you can take a picture and ask a friend, we will also investigate and understand, as long as you give a fair price, I am willing to sell it to you first. ”

As soon as Chen Linzhi finished speaking, Zhao Bailu added a sentence:

"My mother is Lucy Chow, the Northern California director of Baker McKenzie, and I once accompanied her to your place to buy two Tiffany lamps.

They're my friends, and the coat of arms should be answered from the British Heraldic Academy, and since they have a crown motif, maybe it's from some royal family, right?"

She borrowed her mother's name to dispel the shopkeeper's worries, and it was certainly safer for regular customers to come to sell things than strangers.

After hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately became enthusiastic.

After some calculations, a reasonable price was given for the gold and silver coins, totaling more than 13,000 US dollars.

The retail price is higher, but opening a store is not a good deed, how can it be purchased at the sale price, and it takes time for the backlog of goods to be digested in the market, not to mention the store and personnel expenses.

Chen Linzhi agreed.

And signed the agreement on the spot, got a cash check from Citibank afterwards, and went out with a ring and a check.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and without saying a word, Chen Linzhi smiled and said: "Let's go, I'll do Dong tonight, and invite you to have a big meal......"
