Chapter 1896 Return to the Capital 2
"Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, this has never changed. The country is getting better day by day. Now I see that although the situation in Shanghai is chaotic, there is stability in the chaos, and peace and prosperity can be expected. I feel that I have a future. You gave up gold and bought antiques, which is really a wise move." Zhou Mingyu admired the bright and beautiful woman in front of him, and almost regarded her as a confidant.
Not only is she knowledgeable, but she is also bold.
After the dilapidated life of the past two decades, countless people are like frightened birds, and dare not touch cultural relics and antiques for fear of getting into trouble.
Feng Qingxue's expression is calm, and she smiled elegantly, "I just think it's a pity that our country's cultural relics are exported or sold to foreigners and are lost overseas. There are too many good things in the store."
Of course, investment is also one of the reasons, and she does not deny her vulgar mentality.
Her and Lu Jiang's professions destined them not to participate in business and get rich, and they don't know which path their children will take in the future, so these investments are necessary, at least to ensure that the family is not short of money to spend, so that future generations will not have crooked ideas because of lack of money.
In addition, she had a vague plan in her mind, which needed money to support.
Zhou Mingyu thought for a moment and said to her: "I know an old man who is very unlucky. His family was torn apart, his collection was burned, and now only a little grandson is left alive. He is luckier than me. He was rehabilitated at the beginning of the year. The group of evil people have not yet received retribution, but he was rehabilitated and repaid more than 20,000 yuan in salary. I think he is afraid and is looking for a way to send his grandson abroad. I will ask him if he wants to buy gold. I guess he is definitely willing to buy it. Gold is very popular now."
"Then trouble you, old lady."
Feng Qingxue felt that it was very likely, because in the late 1970s and early 1980s, there were many people who tried every means to go abroad. A large part of them were those who suffered and were rehabilitated. They dared not stay in the country and ran away as soon as they saw the signs.
Zhou Mingyu and her agreed to meet at a place slightly away from the back door of Jinjiang Hotel, and the time was set at five in the morning.
The next morning, Feng Qingxue got up early, and the children were still asleep. She left a note for Fubao saying that she was going to buy breakfast. She went out the back door fully armed, and sure enough, she saw Zhou Mingyu wandering around the public toilet not far away, carrying her cleaning belongings.
Feng Qingxue pretended to go to the toilet, and Zhou Mingyu followed her in.
It was too early, and the weather was cold. Every household had a urine bucket, and no one really went to the toilet at this time.
Zhou Mingyu took out a bulging cloth bag from her arms, opened it to reveal a stack of big unity inside, "That old guy is very willing to buy gold, and the price of a gram does not exceed 30 yuan. This is 20,000 yuan, can you afford it? Gold is hard to come by in the black market now, and it has soared to the point where you can't even buy it for 30 yuan a gram."
The bank's purchase price is several times cheaper, but the country does not allow circulation, so it is impossible to buy it.
Feng Qingxue quickly calculated in her mind, "For your sake, I'll give you three yellow croakers, what do you think?"
When Zhou Mingyu heard this, he exclaimed, "Oh, you are so generous, the old man is taking advantage, 20,000 yuan can only buy two yellow croakers at most on the black market, and it may not be possible to buy them."
The yellow croaker weighs 10 liang each, and according to the old scale, one liang weighs more than 30 grams.
The yellow croaker that Feng Qingxue took out was the best quality, with the words "quality 991.0" engraved on it. Zhou Mingyu and her exchanged the money and the goods, and each of them checked them.
The money was real, and the gold was real, and everyone was happy.
