Chapter 162: Black market treasure hunt
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Xu family has a big happy event, that is, Xu Fanghua is getting married, and the person to marry is naturally Song Yi.
The two lovers finally got married.
Xu Fanghua is wearing a red wedding dress, which was made for her by her mother, Zhang Ailian. This may represent a mother’s greatest blessing for her daughter.
As a younger sister, if possible, Xu Jinning will add makeup to Xu Fanghua. When Xu Jinning gets married later, Xu Fanghua, as a sister, will also add makeup to her.
After Xu Fanghua’s wedding date was set, Xu Jinning had been thinking about what kind of makeup should be suitable for her eldest sister.
In her memory, in the 21st century, people with average family conditions usually add gold and silver jewelry, while rich people add jewelry, real estate, and cars.
Car, she doesn’t have one.
She does have real estate.
Whether it was the welfare house assigned to her by her father in the textile factory or the small foreign-style house in Haishi that the Lin family had compensated last time, her name was written on the house book.
Even if she wanted to give away these two houses, the eldest sister would definitely not want them.
So, let’s stick to jewelry and gold.
As the saying goes, antiques in prosperous times are gold in troubled times.
Nowadays, the price of gold is very low, and jewelry is not worth much.
But in the past few decades, gold could fetch almost 500 yuan per gram, and good jewelry was even more valuable.
So, use gold and jewelry to add makeup.
But where to go for gold and jewelry?
Xu Jinning thought of the black market mentioned in ordinary period articles.
Speaking of the black market, Xu Jinning thought of his little brother Xu Xiangbei. He was just a little expert who was involved in the black market. He was the right person to find.
So, Xu Jinning found Xu Xiangbei and told him about his idea of buying some gold and jewelry.
“If you want to buy gold jewelry to add to your eldest sister’s makeup, you can do it. You don’t need this jewelry, it’s not worth anything.”
Xu Jinning retorted: “Just because it’s not valuable now doesn’t mean it won’t be valuable in the future.”
Xu Xiangbei was about to speak when he heard Xu Jinning’s thoughts.
[My dear brother, no matter what jewelry is worthless now, in a few decades, jewelry made from good jade can fetch sky-high prices, millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions. It’s different even if it’s more than one billion. 】
【If there is such a set of jewelry, it can be used as a family heirloom! 】
【The price of gold will also skyrocket in the future, it is 500 yuan per gram. 】
Xu Jinning's inner voice successfully choked Xu Xiangbei's unsaid words in his throat.
Because there is no need to say anything more.
At this time, Xu Xiangbei was filled with shock.
Can gold, which is currently low in price, really skyrocket in the future? There are also worthless jewelry that can be auctioned for sky-high prices in the future?
Let alone hundreds of millions, it was more than a billion. Even a few million would have knocked Xu Xiangbei dizzy at this time.
You know, in Xu Xiangbei's current understanding, a few thousand dollars is already a huge sum of money. In this era when you can marry a wife for just a few dozen dollars, whoever has a few thousand dollars, then in the future I don’t have to worry about eating and drinking.
So, what is the concept of millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions? !
Although Xu Xiangbei was shocked and unbelievable, he also knew that whatever came from Ning Ning's heart must be true.
Whether it is true or not, you have to give it a try. What if it is true?
Then you will get rich.
Ning Ning can say that a good set of jewelry can be passed down from family to family.
He Xu Xiangbei doesn't have much ability, but if he has the ability and the opportunity, he must leave something for future generations.
Jewelry and gold are good.
“Okay, Ning Ning, let’s find some time and my little brother will take you to look for it.”
"good."
A few months ago, the time when Cui Zhiqiang wanted to frame Xu Xiangbei was the most rumored time. At that time, people who were caught buying and selling would be put in jail at least, or eat peanuts at worst.
That turmoil lasted for two full months, causing many people to panic.
But now in the past month or two, the situation has loosened up again, and it is getting looser. There is a tendency to let go and be able to do business freely. This is also revealed by Zhang Changzheng, a public security officer.
Many people speculate that the two months that lasted may be the darkness before dawn, and now, the dawn is about to come.
So, the black market was opened again.
Those who buy and resell are being caught less and less, and some are even seen by the police during the transaction. If it is a small transaction, such as exchanging eggs or some grain, the police will treat it as invisible.
This is also the reason why Xu Xiangbei dared to promise to take Xu Jinning to the black market.
On the third day, Sunday, Xu Xiangbei took Xu Jinning to the county seat and went to the remote yard as before.
The two of them still pretended.
Last time the two came at night, this time they came during the day.
Xu Jinning found that the feeling this time he came here was completely different from the last time he came here.
Last time, there were quite a few people sneaking here, but not too many. Moreover, everyone had a constant sense of tension in their bodies, and their eyes were full of defenses. There was a tendency to immediately put things away when they saw something was wrong. The posture of running away after picking up something.
but now…
Xu Jinning looked at the yard in front of him that looked like a vegetable market, a little stunned.
Lively, very lively.
Everyone was setting up a stall, putting out some of their goods, and almost yelling.
There is also a sense of relaxation in their bodies, and their nerves are no longer tense.
“Ning Ning, follow me.”
Xu Jinning followed the little brother and was soon taken to a remote stall.
The stall owner was a man, but he had a sloppy beard that almost made him look confused, making it difficult for Xu Jinning to tell his age.
The one with messy, long and unkempt hair.
The stall owner was sitting lazily, not as if he was selling anything, but as if he was basking in the sun.
Seeing them approaching, he only raised his eyelids slightly.
Didn’t say anything.
“Ning Ning, are these what you are looking for?”
Xu Jinning followed the younger brother's gaze and landed on the things placed in front of the stall owner.
Xu Jinning’s eyes lit up the moment he saw it.
That’s right, what was placed in front of him was the gold jewelry and jewelry that Xu Jinning was looking for.
Xu Jinning immediately knelt down to take a look.
As a modern rich lady, Xu Jinning has some research on these luxury goods.
These gold jewelry in front of me include bracelets, hairpins, rings, and waving...
The workmanship is exquisite.
There is especially a necklace made of gold with a large red gem inlaid in the middle, which is very eye-catching in the sunlight.
Xu Jinning thought that this necklace inlaid with precious stones would really fetch a sky-high price in modern times.
But what Xu Jinning is most interested in is one of them.
This step is made of two red gold butterflies inlaid with green beads. The beads are naturally an expensive jade stone. The butterfly carvings are lifelike, and there is a clear and tinkling sound when shaking.
“This step is probably from the Han Dynasty. Only the concubines of the harem at that time could afford to wear this exquisite double butterfly step.”
