Chapter 630 Working for Mother 3

Without empress Li, Chengxintang's mother might not have said anything because he didn't know what was going on, but this would make Bao Zixuan regretful. However, you should not be too forceful when doing things for your mother. From a yin-yang perspective, this will shorten your mother's lifespan.

Looking at the attitude of this old Mr. Li, it seems that there is no chance. It is not the character of Mr. Bao to give up easily. You can throw money at it first, but if that doesn't work, you can just see what the old man lacks and whether he has any weaknesses.

Bao Zixuan: "Shopkeeper Li, don't refuse in a hurry. I can pay you in any currency you need. In short, money is not an issue. I only want Empress Li's Chengxintang."

The richest man Bao no longer wanted to talk nonsense with this old man and started throwing money at him. However, his tone made Shopkeeper Li very unconvinced. Why did this young man become so domineering?

Shopkeeper Li: "This is not a question of money," before Shopkeeper Li could finish.

I only heard a young female voice saying: "Really, no matter how much money you want, it's okay if I want US dollars!"

Following the voice, I saw that she was a girl of about 20 years old. She was still very fashionable in Kyoto in this era. But shopkeeper Li knew he was going to be evil when he saw the person coming. Why did this little ancestor come here? Judging from Peng Yifei's usual spending methods, the Xiangjiang man in front of him is definitely not short of money. Even if he offers a high price, he probably will be able to accept it. But Chengxintang is related to the store's heritage, so how can it be sold easily.

Bao Zixuan looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and said, "Beautiful girl, can you make the decision? As long as you can sell Empress Li's Chengxintang to me, I don't care about the money."

The girl who just spoke said: "I didn't realize that I am from Xiangjiang. How can I have so much money at such a young age? My name is Li Xinyue. It's up to you whether I can do it or not. Old man Li has long said that he would take Chengxintang together with this family." Rong Baozhai and Rong Baozhai will make my dowry together, but now I want to advance it."

This girl named Li Xinyue is shopkeeper Li's only granddaughter, which can be said to be rare in this era. I just turned 20 this year and am studying in university in Kyoto. But due to my average academic performance, I couldn't get a full scholarship to study abroad. If I wanted to go out, my family would have to pay for it.

Not long after the reform and opening up, his parents both worked in the Forbidden City. Rong Baozhai's business can only be considered average, but this girl also wants to go to the University of Southern California to major in acting. It is one of the most expensive schools in the United States. Although the Li family's financial situation is good, it is still a bit unaffordable.

In fact, this little girl has a big heart. She not only hopes that her family will pay for her. At the same time, she also hopes that her family will pay for her boyfriend’s tuition and living expenses. Her boyfriend is studying in the directing department of the Film and Television Academy and is thinking of going to the University of Southern California for further studies.

If Old Man Li could make up for his granddaughter's tuition and living expenses alone by selling some things, of course he would not agree to it now that there is a pretty boy who is just a freeloader.

Li Xinyue heard that Bao Zixuan wanted to buy Chengxintang, and asked her grandfather to quote whatever he wanted. Although this Xiangjiang man is young, judging from his dress and conversation, he is definitely a wealthy man. At this time, most of the Xiangjiang businessmen are in Kyoto. Of course, Li Xinyue would not give up such a good opportunity. She also worked hard for her boyfriend's dream.

Shopkeeper Li quickly said: "Child, what do you know? Chengxintang is making a dowry for you. Now that I'm not dead, I want you to find someone in the industry to marry, but look at that pretty boy. Are you a good person?"

Anyone who opens an antique shop hopes that the family business can be passed on. Although Li Xinyue's parents are engaged in the antique industry. But he is more engaged in researching antiquities and is not interested in running a store at all. Li Xinyue has only been interested in acting since she was a child, and knows nothing about antiques, calligraphy and painting.

Shopkeeper Li is also thinking about finding an honest and responsible child to marry into the Li family. He believes that many boys will be willing to look like his granddaughter. He is teaching his grandson-in-law every step of the way; in this way, the family business will not be cut off after his death. Maybe the older generation of antique shop owners have this idea, but after all, times are different and your son can't make the final decision, let alone your grandchildren.

Li Xinyue: "Why is he not a good person? He is the most talented boy in our school and also the most romantic person. The person you introduced to me either asked me to go to the museum or took me to visit Panjiayuan and Liulichang. That was a date. A place!”

Shopkeeper Li had inspected several young men before to see which one of them could be attracted by his granddaughter. Although Li Xinyue is only 20 years old now, she is already not young in the eyes of the older generation. People who study antiques really don't know how to be romantic. Li Xinyue is studying in film school and yearns for romance, so of course she looks down on them.

Shopkeeper Li: "Can romance be a meal? You are looking for that pretty boy just because he wants you to pay for his studies. What is the difference between this and eating soft food? If you want to go to the University of Southern California, the three-year tuition fee will be 30,000 yuan." U.S. dollars, if you were the only one, I could grit my teeth and persevere, but it is impossible for me to support that pretty boy now. What if someone doesn’t want you when they come back from school? By then, both people and money will be lost. The loss of money is bearable, but you This life is ruined.”

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan finally understood what was going on. It seemed that the old guy's cover was on the girl in front of him.

Li Xinyue: "Of course Zhezhe will not abandon me, we are fine! Do you just want me to find someone in the antique shop to help you manage the store. But I am not interested in these, and I haven't liked it since I was a child. In the future, the store can be managed by professional managers, or if it doesn’t work, the store can be sold.”

Shopkeeper Li almost fainted after hearing his granddaughter's words. Rong Baozhai was his lifeblood. It is an ancestral property that has been passed down for many generations. What is happening to this society now? Shopkeeper Li was the son-in-law who came to the house. He became the shopkeeper from a young beggar because his master had no son. He was a stranger, smart and studious, so he was chosen as his son-in-law.

Now I just want history to repeat itself. Is this wrong?

Shopkeeper Li: "Just give up on this idea! I will not agree to sell Chengxintang."

Li Xinyue: "I know where the warehouse at home is. If you don't agree, it will be set on fire that day. You are just a granddaughter like me. If you want to call the police and send me to the police station, it doesn't matter."

Hearing that the house was actually going to be burned down, shopkeeper Li knew that his granddaughter would definitely do it. It seems that Chengxintang cannot be saved. Sometimes people have to compromise.

Shopkeeper Li: "Unfortunately, our family has made Mr. Bao laugh. Chengxintang Rongbaozhai still has one and a half swords. I can sell you one sword. I hope you can show your favor."

In ancient times, a piece of paper contained 70 sheets, which I believe was enough for my mother to draw and write on. You can continue to buy from Rongbaozhai if you have the opportunity in the future, but it is better to leave some room for now.

In fact, through the conversation with his granddaughter, Shopkeeper Li knew that the matter was irreversible and Chengxintang would definitely be sold to the young man in front of him. What he said about being arrogant was just hoping that Bao Zixuan would not take the opportunity to lower the price. After all, the initiative was already in the hands of the buyer. If my granddaughter really burned down the warehouse, nothing would be left.

Rongbaozhai's main business is paper, calligraphy and painting, and Langhao pens. These are all flammable items, and Shopkeeper Li doesn't dare to take risks.

Bao Zixuan: "Shopkeeper Li is confident in setting the price. After all, Chengxintang is a gift for my mother."

Shopkeeper Li was relieved after hearing Bao Zixuan's words. It seemed that the other party really didn't care about money.

Seeing that Old Man Li really wanted to buy Chengxintang, Li Xinyue didn't say anything more. As long as the deal is done, grandpa is much smarter than her in business. She has the stubbornness and romance of an artistic young woman, but she is not a fool. I also know what things should be said and what things can be said.

Shopkeeper Li: "Chengxintang is a rare treasure in the world. My granddaughter is going to study in the United States. As a grandfather, I have to support even if I sell iron, and the price I offer will not be low. Because I want my granddaughter to live an easy life there. Some, I hope Mr. Bao can understand.”

Bao Zixuan didn't say anything, but just made a gesture of invitation, which meant telling shopkeeper Li to continue.

Shopkeeper Li understood the idea and said: "Chengxintang's price is 70 pieces, so I offer $700,000; the next step depends on Mr. Bao's sincerity."

This is absolutely a sky-high price, equivalent to 10,000 yuan per piece of paper, and it is still in US dollars. Li Xinyue was so angry that she wanted to go up and ask Old Man Li if he didn't want to sell. Isn't this deliberately trying to make things difficult for others?

But something happened that she never dreamed of. The young Xiangjiang man in front of her said without hesitation: "Deal, and I heard that your shop's Langhao pens are also very famous. You are matching me with a $50,000 pen." Langhao pen."

"Langhao pens are consumable items. It doesn't matter if the store doesn't have enough. You can give them to me in batches."

Rich Bao came to Rongbaozhai not only to buy paper, but also of course their most famous pens!

Langhao refers to a brush made of weasel tail hair. Such as: Xiaokai Langhao. A type of writing brush made from the hair on the tail of a weasel (weasel), hence its name. The "Guandong Liaohao" produced in Northeast China has the best quality. It is characterized by its smoothness and elasticity, which is suitable for writing and painting, mainly for painting.

I heard that the man in front of me actually agreed. Although I don’t like antiques, I have learned how big a piece of paper is from my childhood. It is estimated that 700,000 US dollars may be larger than the space occupied by paper. This young man is either a liar or a liar. stupid.
