Chapter 675 Is your son-in-law Bill Gates or Cao Xuan?
Yunnan Province, Chu City

The full name should be followed by the Yi Autonomous Prefecture, which is equivalent to a prefecture-level city, and the most famous one should be the Yuanmou Historic Site.

Although it is a minority autonomous prefecture, the population is still dominated by Han people, accounting for more than 60% of the total population, and the second-ranked Yi nationality is only about 20% of the total population.

So Hu Jing is an out-and-out Han nationality, and her relatives and friends are mainly Han nationality.

On the contrary, it is Zengli who is located in the land of Jingxiang. His ancestors are descendants of the Manchu Eight Banners stationed in Hubei Province.

There are very few celebrities. It is said that Lao She may have this surname, and of course it is also said that it is the Shu Mulu family.

Compared with the gang of Eight Banners in Sijiu City, the banner people in Jingxiang are basically Sinicized, and there is no so-called Tongtian pattern complex.

Zeng Li herself didn't pay much attention to this matter, even at the very beginning she didn't know which flag she belonged to, and it was Cao Xuan's father-in-law who came back to see his daughter drinking and bragging with Cao Xuan, his son-in-law.

However, Cao Xuan’s father-in-law also knows half of what he knows, so he knows to open his mouth and shut up Dorgon, and Cao Xuan doesn’t understand other knowledge...

Compared with Zeng Li, who was almost Sinicized, the Manchus, although Hu Jing's family is an out-and-out Han Chinese, but because they are located in Chu City, their customs and habits are still somewhat contaminated with some ethnic minority elements.

【…】

Before going to bed at night, Father Hu called his daughter over and asked, "Do you know Zhang Kong from XX company?"

【Um】

【Authentic? 】

【Excuse me, but your son-in-law is named Cao? 】

The former is the right way, and the latter is a waste of money...

"Grandpa and grandma have a happy new year. I wish grandpa and grandma good health, peace and safety, and everything goes well. I think... I think..."

Even according to the property ratio, Hu's father spent 1~3% of his own assets on fun, while Cao Xuan spent far less than one-thousandth of his own assets.

"Dad, Mom, bring something for your two elders. I don't know what you are missing, so just pick and buy it yourself. Don't dislike it."

Therefore, the old couple still have a certain understanding of the son-in-law's generosity, but this time the situation is special, Cao Xuan is even more extravagant, so that the old couple are a little speechless.

"I don't deserve to carry shoes."

"Yangyang, New Year greetings to grandpa and grandma."

【Why don't I have a daughter? ! ! ! 】

2500 million!
Even if the funds in the company's account are transferred, Hu's father may not be able to get them out, and he may have to sell some assets as collateral.

[It turned out to be Uncle Hu, Mr. Hu and I are also friends, we met in a business forum last year]

[Hey, 2500 million pot, brother and son-in-law, is it Bill Gates or Cao Xuan?]

After the old couple finished getting close to the child, Cao Xuan thought it was time for his son-in-law to show his face.

The other party was also very sensible, and immediately understood the situation, said it to himself, and made an appointment to meet offline.

So no matter how Father Hu puts on him, he should ignore it, and even spend all his time trying to please the old man.

Especially Hu's father, who has always had some resentment towards Cao Xuan for so many years, and even has no objection towards his daughter.

【…】

Having answered the other party's question in this way, if it is disclosed in the future, such a ambiguous answer will not be enough as evidence.

Although Hu's father and Hu's mother are not very rich, their net worth has been considered good in recent years. Facing these expensive gifts, their psychological threshold is still very high.

Comparing the two, Father Hu who is playing is the one who is really self-willed and profligate.

"The rites belong to the rites. This thing is too expensive, and I can't take it. I'll call you how much it is. You can give me the pot."

Of course, I was very satisfied in my heart. After all, this proved that the son-in-law was filial to the old couple and valued their daughter.

My heart was full of ups and downs, with mixed feelings, and I didn't have a good meal at the banquet at night. Only the grandson could grab some attention.

In fact, if Hu's father really wants to use Cao Xuan's banner to flaunt, in fact, he may not be unable to get what he wants, but although he doesn't like Cao Xuan, he will not cheat his son-in-law for his own selfishness.

Father Hu thought for a while, and pointed to Cao Xuan who was bathing his son in the bathroom: "How does Zhang Kong's assets compare to him?"

After all, this thing has a high collection value and appreciation potential, and most people would not sell it. Moreover, there are many fakes in the market, and there are a lot of fakes. Father Hu is not sure, afraid of being cheated.

For the sake of his daughter and grandson, no matter how dissatisfied he is with Cao Xuan, his son-in-law will still admit it.

I saw one today, and it is very likely that it was in the process of trading, how can it not make people feel excited.

Guilt and respect is true, but whoever is put on face by the old man every day, can have no temper at all, and make the old man feel a little bit suffocated by accident, harmless and happy.

"What kind of person do you think of me? I am sincere and filial to our father."

[Internet inconvenience, when you come to the capital, I will be the host myself, let's get together, and I will also ask Uncle Hu for advice on pot collection]

For a sought-after and rare thing, the price will naturally rise in value, and Gu Jingzhou's teapot is getting more and more expensive.

Hu's father originally wanted to put on airs, and even refused, otherwise he would appear to be too ignorant.

"You are scolding me, how can I collect your money."

[Sorry, I didn’t watch the group just now, it’s not a transaction, the pot is for my son-in-law’s filial piety during the Chinese New Year, I’m afraid I’ll get angry, and I won’t talk about the price, so I’m asking everyone for a quote]

No matter how rich Cao Xuan is, he will not take 2500 million yuan seriously, let alone pay favors for it. He has never given such a big gift to his father. He is absolutely sincere and sincere to his father-in-law. .

【Envy +1】

Scratching his head, Cao Xuan was a little bit aggrieved for himself. Hu's father could spend several million to buy a pot to satisfy his hobbies, but Cao Xuan would not care about spending 3000 to [-] million to make his father-in-law happy.

Although it was still a little awkward, but to be honest, he was very happy to get such a superb pot, and at the same time, he was a little concerned about the precious pot, afraid of falling or squeezing.

In the view of the practical and prudent Father Hu, there is an essential difference between the two.

For example, Hu's father didn't want to embarrass his daughter's natal family, let alone give others a handle.

Seeing his daughter's snickering and Cao Xuan's "sincere and simple" expression, Father Hu couldn't bear it any longer, so he simply broke the pot, held the teapot and admired it carefully, and greatly appreciated it.

Of course Cao Xuan didn't accept it, he was just trying to please his father-in-law, so what's the matter with taking the money.

His old mother-in-law is good at cooking chicken...meat dishes.

"This hexagonal pot is simple in shape, but still magnificent. The surface is smooth, without any decoration, with clear and straight edges and corners, solemn and generous, with a warm and delicate texture. It is soft and comfortable to hold in the hand. It is the best in the pot."

[Your surname... Hu? 】

"This is Moutai from 1965. Cao Xuan specially made it for my dad. This is golden bird's nest for my mother. It is a fine product from Malaysia, and donkey-hide gelatin from Dong'e...

But Father Hu soon found his own joy.

After appreciating for a while, Hu's father regained his composure and began to settle accounts with Weng and his son-in-law.

As a result, talking to him today was a bit flattering or even flattering.

After all, it is a child in his early 3 years old. It is still difficult to remember all such a string of congratulatory words. He stumbled halfway through the memorization, Cao Xuan reminded him, and then immediately connected.

But facing Cao Yang, the daughter's own grandson, he didn't have the slightest idea. He wished he could hold it in his palm, called him grandpa, and his eyebrows trembled.

He thought that this pot was only 80 million, or more expensive, about 300 million. Although it was a bit difficult without affecting his own business assets, it was not impossible to get it out.

[Fuck +1]

Hu's father vaguely understood why the group advocated Kong's posture was so low just now, and at the same time, the eyes he looked at Cao Xuan were much more gentle.

But Hu's father was still complicated. He knew a little about the group leader, and he didn't dare to say that they were the richest in the group, but they definitely ranked in the top three, and their network resources were also numerous, so they could be called influential figures.

As soon as these words came out, the group was quiet for two seconds, and then completely fell into madness.

Only then did Cao Xuan know why the old man's expression suddenly changed.

Hu Jing thought about it for a while: "The one who makes audio-visual equipment, right? It seems that I have dealt with him before, your friend."

"…May all your wishes come true."

[It's better for me to be a son, son-in-law, ahhh! ! ! 】

But he can't buy it with money.

[?Brother, this is to take it down, asking for a price reference?There is nothing to hide, the transaction price is 2088 million, it is said that a friend gave a little discount, the market price is about 2000-2200 million, considering the appreciation space of [Guhu], it is worth buying below 2500 million]

It's not that no one doubts the authenticity, but Hu's father is also an old group member, and various details show that he is not an ordinary person, and the photo of the pot is not fake.

"Good boy, get up."

As a result, he found out that the price of this pot was ten times higher than he expected.

Cao Xuan said it very politely, and brought "some" things, but in fact, Cao Xuan's family came over and drove two cars, one for sitting and the other for gifts.

What Hu Jing said was very blunt, but it was also true: "Don't look at your son-in-law lying low in front of you, it's respect for you, and it's hard for others outside to see him.

Hu's father doesn't have many hobbies, because he is close to Pu'er, he likes to drink tea, and over time, he has a hobby of collecting teapots.

But there are mistakes, or Cao Xuan realized his hobbies, and deliberately found a way to get a [Gu Pot] to make him happy.

Of course, in modern times, it is actually difficult to distinguish which clan and family these elements come from, and even the locals may not understand it, so they all use old etiquette to explain.

Rituals are valuable, but every year the Hu family will return the gift. Although it is not as extravagant as Cao Xuan, it is still remarkable.

On the one hand, Master Gu's works are not too many, and there are only a few pots in the later period.

As for Zhang Kong, he found several ways to get Cao Xuan to invest in his company, but Cao Xuan disliked his company's small size and lack of development, so he didn't even bother to talk to him. "

Cao Xuan was filled with righteous indignation. Although he was not a good person, he still knew how to respect the old and love the young. In addition, he was not honest in his work, and he always felt guilty towards the parents of the two palaces.

Although Hu Jing and Zeng Li didn't have so many twists and turns, the two families still hold back their energy.

Seeing that Cao Xuan couldn't ask, he took a photo of the pot and sent it to a group of Tibetan friends' WeChat group. He wanted to inquire about the price, so he sent it directly.

[@平安花开, brother, can you make another one]

However, he still overestimated his concentration too much. The baby he had been thinking about for many years was right in front of him.

"This child, the road is so far away, it's not troublesome to take it with you, why are you being polite?"

Nowadays, none of Master Gu's pots is less than 100 million, and you can't buy one even if you want to.

Cao Xuan didn't want to say much, but Hu Jing didn't care about it: "I'm fine, don't think about it in private, you don't need money to buy things for your father-in-law.

However, those cigarettes, alcohol, tonics, clothes, and sundries in front of them are nothing more than expensive, but they are still within their acceptable range.

What is called flower chicken, Yuanmou cold chicken, saliva chicken, and air-dried chicken, all of them are delicious. After not eating them for more than a year, Cao Xuan is really greedy.

So, Cao Xuan himself, the two drivers, and even Father Hu also went to help. The three of them spent half an hour in a daze, going back and forth a dozen times to finish moving the things. The entire entrance and half of the living room were crowded.

[Don't look at it, I know this pot, a friend of mine just released it, unexpectedly it fell into the hands of my brother]

Known as the "Master of Pot Art", it is hard to say that it is the first in history in the field of purple sand pottery, and it is definitely the top three. It is also one of the very few modern masters whose works can be compared to or even surpass antiques.

"It doesn't count, it's just acquaintance."

After making his daughter angry, Hu's father also temporarily put away his careful thoughts and put the pot away properly.

Choked by his daughter, Hu's father was speechless, and Cao Xuan saw it.

Hu's father's net worth has not been low in recent years, not hundreds of millions, and it is not far behind, but assets and available cash are two different things.

But then again, looking at the old man's virtue, Cao Xuan is still a little secretly happy.

He didn't want it, but Father Hu insisted on it.

That's fine, I'm in charge. After you finish holding this pot, we don't care whether you want to play with it or throw it away and sell it. We don't care. Anyway, there is one thing. It doesn't make sense to take things from the elders, let alone asking for money. . "

Hu's father has always dreamed of getting a [Gu Pot], he is not short of money, at least he can still get 100 million if he bites his teeth.

After all, no matter what Hu's father thought, he got up and took his son and ran away, and went to the kitchen to find his mother-in-law for snacks.

Of course, the most important thing is the one who testified just now. He is the leader of the group, a serious billionaire. He seems to have been on the rich list before, which can be regarded as a testimony for Father Hu.

[@上善如水, it is inconvenient for Fang to disclose how much this pot was paid for, I just saw this pot too]

He didn't behave well, and the child was a little sad, but Hu's father and mother didn't mean to dislike him. Seeing this grandson, their faces burst into smiles.

If it falls, he is afraid that he will directly follow it.

He doesn't care about it himself, but he doesn't want his daughter to be inferior to Cao Xuan, and that's all. After all, they are a husband and wife, and the life of the couple is the same, but the key is one Zeng Li.

"You didn't plan to make such a pot on purpose to make my dad happy and worried, so he couldn't sleep well at night."

On the way here, Hu Jing had already taught her specially, besides, Xiao Caoyang also had experience, and she went to Li Xuejian's house to pay New Year's greetings to familiarize herself with the process.

But back then the money was serious business and real estate, and the 2500 million was a fragile teapot with little substance.

And this is just an ordinary pot. If it is a high-quality or even top-grade pot, the price is even more unacceptable.

Hu's father is old and mature. Although he has a good relationship with the former group leader, he is afraid of being cheated in the screenshots, so he doesn't reveal his words easily, but simply responds.

Seeing how the old couple coaxed the child in a friendly voice, Cao Xuan felt a little rejoiced.

The Liufang Pot, which he liked so much, became hot in Father Hu's eyes at this moment, and he didn't even realize he was far away from the pot.

No wonder he is worthless, Father Hu has seen the money, received orders worth hundreds of millions, and bought houses worth more than 1000 million in the capital.

Although Hu's father is a senior collector, he is not a joker. A serious insider naturally knows what the three words "Gu Jingzhou" represent.

Seeing that the group of Tibetan friends has been @asking about the transaction situation, the old man took a peek at other people and typed furtively.

Anyway, as soon as Cao Xuan entered the door, he asked the old man to pour several bowls of wine in a daze.

[No other meaning, I have a niece who looks very similar to that female star named Yang Mi, can I meet your son-in-law]

Father Hu can't buy it, but it doesn't mean Cao Xuan can't buy it.

The group of friends were excited, but Father Hu was taken aback.

Teapot collectors like Hu's father are all proud of collecting one of Gu Jingzhou's teapots.

【Lying trough】

Especially when Cao Xuan came to the capital, he didn't take less things. Even though he didn't come to his hometown during the festivals, he still brought gifts.

【jealous】

"..."

But Gu Jingzhou's pot is not good.

But at the end, Gu Jingzhou's purple clay pot made Father Hu unable to sit still.

Different from the resentful father Hu, the mother-in-law Hu mother is still very warm and friendly to Cao Xuan, probably because of the aura of "the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she looks at her, the happier she is".

Father Hu’s group of Tibetan friends still has a lot of people, 100+ here and there, and when they saw the photos he posted, they were immediately blown away.

The Empress of the Eastern Palace wanted to speak for Cao Xuan, and took stock of how carefully Cao Xuan had prepared these gifts, costing money and effort.

[Okay, it must be passed down from generation to generation, happy new year]

"I bought everything, but I can't return it. Cao Xuan respects you, so you just keep it."

Hu's father couldn't help admonishing his son-in-law and daughter that young people should cherish their fortunes and luck, and should not squander at will and detract from themselves.

[The photo is not real, but looking at the shape and rhyme, the fake is not up to this level]

Money is one aspect. The key is Cao Xuan's status and contacts here. People are willing to sell his face, and even take the initiative to match or give up the pot, just to give him a favor.

And this purple clay pot, last time I saw your precious teapot, Cao Xuan took it to heart, and got a pot made by Master Gu Jingzhou himself because of the relationship..."

The news in the group surged wildly. Although the value of Gu Jingzhou's pots is not low, most of them are around a few million, and there are very few tens of millions, and all of them are high-quality products.

You must know that Master Gu’s teapot was auctioned for 80 yuan in Xiangjiang in the 65s when ten thousand yuan households were still very valuable. In terms of market price, one teapot can be exchanged for several sets of courtyard houses.

Coupled with the damage and loss over the years, as well as accidents caused by various turmoil, the outside world estimates that there are only 200 to 300 authentic pieces in existence.

But this pot is too expensive, regardless of whether he likes his son-in-law or not, Father Hu doesn't want people to think that he is taking advantage of Cao Xuan.

Although Cao Xuan strongly suspects that the old man is playing tricks on him, but who let him be in his territory, and he only "visited" after abducting his daughter for more than ten years, drinking a few bowls of wine is nothing.

【New Year's Day, I won't bother you too much. I wish Uncle Hu and Auntie a happy New Year. Please also send my greetings to Mr. Hu and Mr. Cao...】

【Um】

So as soon as his mother greeted him, he thumped and knelt on the ground, kowtowed twice, and said the congratulatory speech that Hu Jing taught him in his milk.

"Dad, don't make friends with me. Just play with it. It's a big deal and don't make an example."

[Fuck, Gu Jingzhou's pot]

Although it is immoral, the routine of getting on the bus first and then buying the ticket is indeed effective, especially like Cao Xuan who not only boards the bus first, but even sits directly at the station, and the children come out. Hu's father can't do without selling tickets.

Speaking of the group leader, just as Hu's father was looking at the wechat group chat records, the other party sent a private chat.

Hu Jing looked at her father, a little apprehensive, and looked at Cao Xuan suspiciously.

No comparison no harm!

In the past, in Hu's father's heart, he only thought about Cao Xuan lying to his daughter, and he was on two boats.

With such an interruption now, Cao Xuan grew taller in his heart. Although he did not change his attitude immediately, but thinking of Cao Xuan's respectful attitude, his thoughts were quite different from before, and his resentment was much less.

If Cao Xuan wanted to know what Father Hu was thinking, he would probably pull people over every day to pretend to be a force, and let him see what he could teach the king of China, and he must subdue his father-in-law...
