Chapter 3878 3880 [New Business Opportunities]

Xiang Nan then picked up the goods and returned to Guyue Bridge with Luo Yuzhu.

"Master Chen, is that Guan Gong statue really made in recent years?" Luo Yuzhu asked curiously. She felt that Xiang Nan's purpose in buying the Guan Gong statue was not as simple as he said.

Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Pick up the clock and the statue of Guan Gong and weigh them."

Luo Yuzhu picked up the bronze clock in confusion, and then went to pick up the Guan Gong statue. However, she felt that the Guan Gong statue was surprisingly heavy. It sank as soon as she held it. It was even heavier than the bronze clock in her hand.

But in fact, the bronze clock is larger than the Guan Gong statue, and copper is heavier than iron, so it stands to reason that the clock should be heavier.

"What's going on?" Luo Yuzhu asked in surprise, "This Guan Gong statue is a bit too heavy."

Xiang Nan nodded, then took out a small knife from his waist and scratched the statue of Guan Gong. Under the black paint, a flash of gold appeared, "Because this statue of Guan Gong is actually made of gold."

"Oh my God~" Luo Yuzhu was completely dumbfounded. She didn't expect that such an inconspicuous, black and matte statue of Guan Gong was actually made of gold.

"This golden statue of Guan Gong should have been inherited by a wealthy family. Later, I was afraid that it would be stolen, so I painted a layer of black paint on the outside to make people think it was made of iron." Xiang Nan explained.

"Master Chen, how do you know it's made of gold?" She then asked in confusion.

"At first, I only wanted to buy this clock." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Because this clock was actually made in the Republic of China. It is a Swiss dog tag with a human head. The stall owner didn't know the product and sold it as a domestic clock.

I took that Guan Gong statue just as a cover. But when I picked it up, it sank, heavier than the copper clock. I knew there was something famous in it, so I bought it. Unexpectedly, I guessed it right. "

"So, you also got a big deal on this clock?" Luo Yuzhu asked in surprise.

She thought that Xiang Nan had made a fortune by buying this gold statue, but she didn't expect that even the clock was a good thing.

"Well, a new domestic clock only costs 40 yuan. But this Swiss watch made in the Republic of China costs at least 100 or 200 yuan when sent to a cultural relics store." Xiang Nan explained.

Antique clocks from the Republic of China period, especially those with human heads and dog tags, can be regarded as treasures among antiques. The collection of watches and clocks is inherently a relatively high-end type among the collection of cultural toys.

Many rich people like to collect famous watches, so there is a saying in the collecting circle that "the poor like cars, the rich like watches." Therefore, in twenty or thirty years, this clock will be auctioned for tens or millions. .

"Wow!" Luo Yuzhu was immediately surprised.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Nan could earn one to two hundred yuan with just a clock, which is really amazing.

"What about this golden statue of Guan Gong?" she asked curiously.

"It's hard to say, but this golden statue is more than just gold." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Looking at its face, it should be in the style of the mid-Qing Dynasty. Such a golden statue is not only valuable in gold, but also has historical heritage. It is worth at least ten thousand yuan "

The gilt-bronze Buddha statues of later generations all cost over a million. This statue of Guan Gong is made of pure gold and is worth much more. It can be sold for six to seven million without any problem.

"Ten thousand yuan?!" Luo Yuzhu was so shocked that his eyes almost fell down. He didn't expect that Xiang Nan could buy something for three yuan, but it could be sold for more than ten thousand yuan. It was really amazing.

"Okay, don't be so excited." Xiang Nan waved his hands and smiled, "Work hard and you will make money."

Luo Yuzhu nodded after hearing this.

…

Turning around, Xiang Nan put away the statue of Guan Gong and the bronze clock, and continued to do business with Luo Yuzhu.

He resold the food stamps, cloth stamps, meat stamps, old shoes, old clothes, etc. he bought on the black market yesterday. Every time he bought and sold, he could make a profit of more than ten yuan, which made Luo Yuzhu salivate with greed. of.

"Master Chen, you are so amazing. I wish I were half as good as you." She said enviously.

"If you want to make money, you have to have products or unique skills that others don't have." Xiang Nan said, "Only if you can have what others don't have and what others have, you can make a lot of money. It's useless to just be envious."

"Master Chen, I have a way to get rich. I want to cooperate with you, can you?" Luo Yuzhu rolled his eyes and said.

"What way?" Xiang Nan asked curiously.

"I have a way to buy nylon socks. I want to cooperate with you. You can share 10% of the profit with me." Luo Yuzhu said immediately.

"Nylon socks?! Those are good things." Xiang Nan laughed and said, "Do you really have a way to buy them?"

Nylon was invented by American scientists in 1938, and socks made from it became popular all over the world and were greatly loved by people.

Nylon socks from the Mainland came out in the 1970s. Later, with their strong and wear-resistant, elastic, soft texture, bright colors and many other characteristics, they defeated the mainstream cotton socks at that time and became people's favorites.

Therefore, the price of nylon socks was once several times that of cotton socks. Nylon socks cost two or three yuan a pair, which was a hot commodity at the time. Therefore, it is not easy to buy nylon socks, and you even have to use "industrial coupons" to buy them.

"I do." Luo Yuzhu nodded.

"Okay, if you really have a way to buy it, then I won't lose you. After excluding the cost, we will split it in half." Xiang Nan said.

"No, no, I just need to do it once." Luo Yuzhu said quickly.

"Hey, we in the Tang Gang believe in sharing profits by taking out six and returning four. If you are really capable of buying nylon socks, you are eligible to share half of the profits." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

Hearing him say this, Luo Yuzhu was immediately moved.

...

That night, Luo Yuzhu took Xiang Nan on the train to Jinhua, and waited until the next morning, they arrived at the Puxi State-owned Socks Factory.

"This is a socks factory. Their goods are all for public use. How can they sell them to us?" Xiang Nan said in surprise.

At that time, all factories were state-owned, and the products were planned production, unified purchase and sales, and would not be supplied to individuals.

"I have a way, don't worry." Luo Yuzhu said, and then stood guard at the door of the socks factory.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the workers of the socks factory went to work.

When Luo Yuzhu saw an older sister, she immediately went up to her and said with a smile on her face, "Auntie Wang, do you still remember me?"

"You are Yuzhu? Oh, I haven't seen you for many years. You have grown up." The older sister smiled, "By the way, why are you here?"

"Auntie Wang, I don't come here for no reason. I want to ask you for help." Luo Yuzhu smiled, "How about this, I will treat you to lunch at noon, and we will talk slowly, okay?"

"Okay." The older sister nodded, "Then you wait for me at the factory gate at noon."

"Okay." Luo Yuzhu nodded.

"Do you know that older sister?" After the others left, Xiang Nan stepped forward and asked Luo Yuzhu curiously.

"Well, she was my mother's former colleague." Luo Yuzhu nodded.

"What about your mother?" Xiang Nan asked.

"Dead." Luo Yuzhu's face darkened.
