Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 330
When Chu Xiangqian heard that Baifanyu wanted to send 4 bottles of tiger bone wine to a large grain merchant in Luzon Island, he turned around and went to the car, took out a box of tiger bone wine and placed it in front of Baifanyu.

"Uncle, now we need to beg each other. In this case, don't be too stingy. If you want to give something, just give it a box."

Baifanyu couldn't help laughing when he saw Chu Qianqian being so open.

How can a person who can be a big grain merchant in Luzon Island be just a big landowner who grows grain?

As long as the wealthy businessmen in Southeast Asia become big, they are basically powerful people involved in both political and business circles.

If the government wants to build a railway or a highway, it must first buy land from these people.

Once we can't reach an agreement, we won't be able to build it for several years or more than ten years.

If Baifanyu sends tiger bone wine, it will naturally deepen the relationship with the other party. In addition to being a grain merchant, he can also do other business in the future.

And Chu Xiangqian's meaning was also very simple, to buy cheaper food.

When he was still in the capital last year, Chu Xiangqian saw too many people, including corn cobs and corn cobs.

If you eat all this kind of food, as long as it is not spoiled food, transporting it back can save your life.

When Baifanyu saw that Chu Xiangqian wanted all kinds of food and bought more at the same price, he naturally understood that the food shortage in the mainland was indeed serious.

"Don't worry, uncle will sacrifice his face and get you more food."

Chu Qianqian first thanked him, and then reminded him not to spoil the food.

It is best to use dried sweet potatoes, cornmeal, potato flour and other foods that are large in quantity, cheap and easy to preserve.

Once again, you can never go wrong with rice fish.

After negotiating with Baifanyu, his men began to load the truck.

Two trucks were carrying bears, tigers and other wild game, and the other truck was naturally only carrying an iron cage covered with a curtain.

And the people who came this time were all the same people who transported the white tiger last time.

Since the White Tiger incident has not spread in Hong Kong Island, it means that these dozen people are still very strict in their mouths.

At around 3 o'clock in the evening, Chu Xiangqian called Norton outside the airport. Before 5 o'clock in the morning, Norton's car hurriedly arrived outside the airport.

As soon as they met, Chu Xiangqian took the initiative and said, "I'm lucky. My people are connected with a prominent family in Yangon. The other party helped charter a seaplane and flew directly to the sea of ​​Hong Kong Island, and then transported the tiger to the port overnight. island."

Norton didn't care about this, he nodded hurriedly, and pulled Chu Qianqian eagerly to see the black tiger.

Ward, Bailey and other bodyguards looked at each other silently, secretly thinking that Chu Xiangqian was really cautious now that he had found his friend in Yangon.

The charter flight actually specifically chose seaplane instead of landing on Hong Kong Island and Macau.

It makes people want to check but they don’t know how.

Fortunately, there is really no need to get to the bottom of this kind of business. Not only is it not a secret, but if there is a conflict with Chu Xiangqian, not only may there be casualties, but the business will also be interrupted.

It's really worth it.

Chu Xiangqian took Norton into the airport. He greeted Baifanyu first, and then pointed at the truck and motioned for Norton to see it himself.

This time he was prepared, but Norton was not frightened by the black tiger.

Holding a flashlight, he opened a corner of the curtain. When the flashlight light shone, the black tiger immediately bared its teeth anxiously.

Fortunately, due to the lighting, the tiger's eyes could hardly see Norton clearly, so he stopped roaring.

Norton watched for more than ten seconds and confirmed that the tiger's limbs and face were all black and blue. Then he calmed down his excitement and covered the curtain again.

He jumped off the truck, came to Chu Qianqian and said, "Master, I will ask someone to charter a plane and try to transport it away at dawn."

Chu nodded forward. Two hours later, before 7 o'clock in the morning, a transport plane slowly parked not far from the truck.

More than a dozen of his subordinates were busy using tools to carry the iron cage onto the plane.

After it was secured, Norton ordered two bodyguards to escort Black Tiger back to London on the same plane.

After the plane took off and slowly turned into a small dot and could no longer be seen, Norton breathed a sigh of relief and took Chu Qianqian and Baifanyu to have breakfast.

Before Chu Qianqian left, he took out a stack of more than 2000 cash from his pocket and handed it to Baifanyu's confidant Daguang.

"Brother Guang, you take the brothers to have breakfast and then divide the money. This is my thanks to you guys."

Daguang glanced at Baifanyu, who waved his hand, "It's okay, Achu gave it to me, just let the brothers take it with peace of mind."

A dozen or so people would be given 2 yuan, and each person would be given at least more than 100 yuan, which is almost equal to an ordinary month’s salary.

Everyone hurriedly thanked him, hoping that Chu Xiangqiang would do it more often and earn some extra money.

At around 8 o'clock in the morning, Chu Xiangqian, Norton and Baifanyu were sitting by the window in the Peninsula Hotel tea restaurant, eating breakfast and drinking morning tea, when they saw Margaret walking in quickly with Nata and a smile on her face.

After seeing Chu Qianqian, Margaret sat directly next to him.

He put his arm around Chu Qianqian and asked, "Honey, are you free today? Let's go shopping and bring local gifts back to London for my sister and mother, okay?"

Chu Qianqian shook his head, "Not in the morning. Mr. Bai and I were busy all night last night and I'm really sleepy. I'll talk to you in the afternoon."

After saying that, he slapped his forehead again, reached into the inner pocket of his suit, and used the cover of his clothes to get out of the storage compartment.

He directly took out a necklace composed of 20 white South Sea sea beads and one golden sea bead and placed it in front of Margaret.

Under the sunlight, you can see a layer of colorful light flashing on the South Sea pearls. With just one glance, Margaret's eyes are shining.

Not to mention that among the 20 12mm white beads, there is also a 12mm gold bead.

This 12mm gold bead alone costs at least 1 pounds, plus 20 white beads, that’s 2 pounds.

A whole necklace sold as a whole costs at least 20 Hong Kong dollars.

Not to mention Margaret, even Norton and Baifanyu were attracted by the necklace and stared at it non-stop.

"Last night the black tiger was delivered to Hong Kong Island ahead of schedule, and my men bought a few South Sea pearl necklaces from a wealthy businessman in Yangon.

The most rare thing about this necklace is that besides being the same size and roundness, this golden bead is one of a million.

This one alone is said to cost at least US$5. "

Chu Xiangqian directly raised the price of 12mm gold beads from 6 to 7 pounds, which the manager of the gold store said the day before yesterday, to 1.25 pounds.

And he deliberately didn't say pounds, but priced it in US$5.

Sure enough, as soon as the price was announced, Margaret happily took off the diamond necklace from her neck, and then looked at Chu Qianqian lovingly.

"Honey, put it on for me."

Chu smiled forward, stood up and put it on Margaret himself, then whispered in her ear, "Pearls are beautiful, and people are even more beautiful."

Margaret was so excited that she turned her head and kissed Chu Qianqian on the face.It almost made Baifanyu's eyes pop out, while Norton covered his forehead and simply stayed out of sight and out of mind.

In my heart, I regretted for the second time that I had not introduced my cousin to my master earlier.

Then he glanced at Chu Qianqian with resentment, secretly saying that the master was biased and gave him the pearl necklace he wanted to give to his mother, even though they were all excellent South Sea pearls, and they were also 12 mm in size.

But the value of the gold bead in Margaret's necklace is ten times that of the entire necklace.

This made Norton a little embarrassed to give the necklace to his mother.

Then I secretly murmured in my heart that I must find an opportunity to ask the master if there are any golden beads left.

As for the issue of 5 U.S. dollars a piece, the worst case scenario would be to promise to exchange it for one or two Picasso oil paintings.

Chu Xiangqian could naturally see Norton's expression, and felt secretly happy. He gave Margaret a gold bead necklace. In addition to her being his woman, he also wanted to use her identity to advertise for himself.

No, not only did Norton definitely have the idea of ​​buying one, the white rice fish on the side also rolled his eyes a few times.

After breakfast, Chu Qianqian said to Margaret, "Help me go to my room to put the bath water in. I'll go up after seeing off Norton and Mr. Bai."

Margaret's heart was full of Chu Qianqian at this time, and she didn't mind at all about putting in the bath water.

Holding Chu's forward arm and nodding, "Hurry up then, I want to take a bath with you."

Chu Qianqian smiled and nodded, watching Margaret and Nata, who had a faint expression of resentment in her eyes, get into the elevator.

After Margaret and the two left, Norton immediately complained, "Master, if you want to give Aunt Margaret a necklace, can't you wait until you return to London?"

Chu Xiangqian knew what this kid meant as soon as he heard it.

Shrugging, pretending to be hesitant, he whispered, "I still have a pink sea bead in my hand. If you want it, I can sell it to you cheaper.

Just $5.

If it were anyone else, this pink bead and Margaret’s gold bead would cost less than $8, and I would ignore them. "

Norton nodded quickly and thanked him.

Chu Xiangqian felt at ease in his heart. With Norton's deal, it would be logical for Jinzhu and Pinkzhu to bid $8 on their own.

Baifanyu hurriedly answered the call and asked, "Achu, uncle also wants to buy one for you, Sister Yue Chang. Can you also order one for me?"

Chu Xiangqian was stunned. Bai Yuechang had been married for many years. If she really wanted to buy it, wouldn't it be Lei Luo who was her husband?
Then Chu Xiangqian realized that maybe Baifanyu was going to be given to the outer room.

If that woman is really pregnant with his child, once the child is born, not to mention a pearl necklace worth more than 20 Hong Kong dollars, the entire net worth of Baifanyu will belong to that child and that woman.

Chu Xiangqian wanted to sell a pearl necklace to Baifanyu directly, but he took out so many gold beads and pink beads at once that it seemed like there were a lot of them.

He pretended to think for a while and then said to Baifanyu, "I have to ask my new friends in Yangon about this first.

But I promise that if he still has a gold or pink bead necklace in his hand, he will get one for you. "

Baifanyu couldn't help but regret not asking earlier, but thinking about Chu Qianqian's always reliable words, if it were true, he would definitely not not even help with this small favor.

Norton felt that he was lucky, and he felt increasingly grateful that Chu Xiangqian was willing to sell the only pink bead to him at a reduced price of US$3.

"Master, I will call back to London right now and have the antiques and oil paintings collected during this period shipped here today.

By the way, I also brought the Cézanne oil painting that I promised you as a gift.

Let people find two more Picasso oil paintings to offset the purchase price of this pink bead. "

Chu Qianqian couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He reached into his pocket, took out a pink pearl, and handed it directly to Norton's hand.

"You will take someone to the jewelry store later to have a look. Although I am sure that this pink pearl is a South Sea sea pearl, my eyesight in this area is still a bit poor.

Lest I be fooled by my new friend in Yangon. "

After hearing what he said, Norton nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take someone to the jewelry store to find an appraiser."

After saying that, Norton greeted Baifanyu and hurriedly left in a car with his bodyguard.

After Bai Fanyu watched the two cars drive away, he smiled and asked Chu Qianqian, "A Chu, tell me the truth, have you found the source of pearls?"

Chu Qianqian laughed and gave a thumbs up to Baifanyu, "Not only do South Sea pearls come from Myanmar, but pearl merchants from Australia and Malaysia also promised to provide me with sources of pearls.

It's just that I never like mid- to low-end products, I want at least something of the flawless and rounded quality. "

Baifanyu couldn't help but be surprised by Chu Xiangqian's connections, but considering the abilities of this boy and the people under him, he could not only form 11 cavalry teams, but also move around Central Asia and South Asia at will.

I immediately felt that this was normal.

"Achu, my uncle's requirements are not too high, as long as they are no worse than the necklace you gave Princess Margaret."

After Chu Qianqian nodded in agreement, he still advised, "Uncle, pearls are actually not suitable for family heirlooms.

Generally, yellowing will occur after six to seventy years.

It is also afraid of acid and alkali, so it cannot be taken into the kitchen or come into contact with water, nail polish, or perfume.

When storing, it cannot be sealed, so it must be taken out from time to time to absorb some air, and it must be kept away from direct sunlight as much as possible.

If you want to give it to your future aunt, I suggest you buy diamonds or rubies and sapphires. "

Baifanyu was stunned. He had never thought about this, or even heard of it.

I couldn't help but hesitate.

Seeing this, Chu Xiangqian took the opportunity to say, "Let me help you ask your friends in the mainland. Although there are not many rubies in the mainland, there are still top-quality sapphires.

When I was in the capital, I saw a sapphire the size of a pigeon egg. It was of excellent quality and the price was not as high as those in Europe, America and India.

If my friend doesn't sell, I still have a few friends in India.

Their rubies and sapphires have always been of excellent quality, and are recognized and sought after by wealthy people in Europe and the United States.

It's perfect for gifting and preserving value. "

Bai Fanyu hurriedly thanked him, and felt more and more that Chu Xiangqian was reliable.

Otherwise, it goes without saying that the price of sapphire in the mainland is not as good as that in foreign countries.

But Chu Xiangqian actually never thought about selling him the sapphire in his hand.

As for rubies, they can be found in Novice Village. In Chu Xiangqian's eyes, rubies are inexhaustible and can be purchased from time to time, rather than collectibles.

Chu Qianqian pretended to hesitate and thought for a while, "How about I help you ask your friend in India? He has a ruby ​​bracelet made entirely of top-grade rubies the size of fingernails.

Just the price is a bit expensive. "
