Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Chapter 548: I basically won’t buy anything that costs more than 1 yuan now
On Saturday, he and Yi Xiaoyue took Wu Qi and Wu Ming to the "International Trade City" again.

At this time, they happened to be on winter vacation.

During the weekend and with students on holiday, it was more lively there than before, and there seemed to be more people watching the circus performances.

After buying a ticket and watching a "show", he felt it was quite exciting. There were performances by animals such as black bears, monkeys, dogs, horses, sheep, parrots, etc., as well as some acrobatic performances.

I took them out to play, and because there was a food festival, they had lunch there.

While shopping at the New Year Goods Festival in the afternoon, Wu Yuansheng met Qin Tao, who also came with his family to buy New Year goods.

I haven't seen him for a long time. Compared to a few years ago, he looks much older.

The two talked for a while about their past as security guards.

Lamenting that time flies by so quickly.

When talking about Cao Zhengang, Qin Tao said that he hoped he would be reborn as a good person in his next life.

(After serving his sentence in prison for several years, Cao Zhengang suffered a stroke and became paralyzed on one side of his body.

He was sent back early to serve his sentence outside prison and be taken care of by his family.

Not long after, he was sent to the mountain and buried.)
Speaking of this situation, Wu Yuansheng's mood was a little complicated for a moment, but soon became calm again.

What is past is past.

Everyone will have such a day.

That old guy did so many bad things, it was just right that he was punished by God so early, it can be considered as "what he deserved".

Qin Tao is still working as a security guard, but he has changed his job and is no longer a team leader.

The Chinese New Year is getting closer, and by the time of the Little New Year, all construction projects have basically come to a halt.

Considering that Yi Xiaoyue said she wanted to go to Shanghai to spend New Year's Eve with Song Yuping, they spent this year's Little New Year with their father, sister, brother-in-law and the entire family.

We asked for a private room at the Celebrity Hotel to get together in advance and have a New Year’s Eve dinner.

On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed, and the festive atmosphere became even stronger.

After finishing their company affairs, they went to Shanghai on the 29th.

In recent years, online shopping has become almost popular, and the logistics and express delivery industry has basically replaced many physical store businesses. Their business has also reached its peak.

Every year, he receives nearly 3000 million in dividends from his own shares.

Due to the decline in the construction industry, the board business in partnership with Tian Xinming has not been very profitable recently after making money in the past few years.

However, over the past few years, he has earned nearly 10 million.

The total revenue and dividends from the concrete company and landscaping company that he partnered with Zhou Wenjun and others have amounted to several million in recent years.

Fu Wei's film and television media company also has considerable income from music, micro-films and short dramas. His dividends in the past few years have amounted to 50 to 60 million.

All of Wu Yuansheng's assets added together are close to the three small goals.

He has always been very low-key, and no one except Yi Xiaoyue knows how much money he has.

Although some of his acquaintances who worked with him knew that he was rich, they did not know the exact amount.

Of course, this money is already considered "huge wealth" for him and he is very satisfied, but compared to those top rich people, it is still not worth mentioning.

However, he has no intention of competing with others. He has no problem lying down for now, and he personally will not spend money indiscriminately.

They did not drive to Shanghai. Nowadays, it only takes six and a half hours to get there from their hometown by high-speed rail, which is fast and safe.

The bus left at 8:15 in the morning and arrived around 3:00 in the afternoon.

At the exit, Yi Haodong, Song Yuping, Yi Lin and others were there.

After meeting, they greeted each other.

Yi Haodong loves his grandson and granddaughter very much. He hugs them and kisses them.

Wu Qi had a deeper impression of Song Yuping. He hadn't seen her for a long time and missed her very much.

Wu Ming was young and didn’t remember much, so my impression of her is basically vague.

I haven't seen Song Yuping for a while. She still looks the same as before and doesn't look older.

Yi Xiaoyue's younger sister, Yi Lin, had a boyfriend two years ago, but they broke up later. She hasn't met anyone suitable recently and is still single. She used to have a fierce personality, but now she seems to be much better. Maybe she has experienced more and become more mature.

We had dinner at home, and Song Yuping cooked the meal herself.

They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Yi Xiaoyue talked to her a lot. The relationship between them, mother and daughter, has always been very deep.

Knowing that Wu Qi and Wu Ming liked to play with toys, Yi Haodong and Yi Lin bought a lot of them. When they didn't go out at night, they played at home.

"Yuansheng! I was free so I went to take a picture of a Lin Fengmian painting. Come on, come with me and enjoy it."

He was listening to Yi Xiaoyue and Song Yuping chatting when Yi Haodong said to him.

Wu Yuansheng had heard of Lin Fengmian, and his painting style was very unique.

In his own opinion, he feels that his paintings are very much like scenes from cartoons and are more cartoon-like.

Because it is special, it is memorable.

But the paintings usually look good, maybe that's his "characteristic".

"it is good!"

He stood up and followed Yi Haodong, and the two of them went to the study.

The painting he took was a "beautiful opera figure painting", also painted in a cartoon style.

Judging from the age of the paper, it has several decades of history.

Just one look at the painting gives people the feeling that it is an authentic work.

"How is it? This painting is okay!"

While watching, he asked Wu Yuansheng.

"Not bad! It's real, and the painting is good. How much did you pay for it?"

He was more concerned and curious about the price of the painting.

"Almost 400 million, do you think it's worth it?"

Yi Haodong didn't hesitate and told the price.

If he were asked to buy it at 400 million, he would definitely not buy it. Even if it was 100 million, he would not buy it.

“It’s worth it if you like it, but if it’s for investment, I think it’s better to save the money or buy gold instead of spending a lot of money on art.

If I need money urgently and want to sell this painting and mortgage it to a bank, maybe they won't accept it. Banks won't recognize antiques and artworks, but if it's gold, you can exchange it for money anywhere.

Also, it’s hard to say what the price would be if I sold it to someone who collects antiques. People usually won’t take the risk of buying something that’s worth over a million.”

In this kind of relationship, he will definitely tell the truth.

As time goes by, people's minds will become clearer and clearer. Unless they have too much money to spend, they will buy some elegant things to show off, with the idea that they will not plan to sell them once they buy them.

“I understand what you said, I buy it just to collect it and enjoy it myself.

It’s a pity that I don’t understand calligraphy and paintings or other antiques, and I don’t have the eye to find bargains, otherwise I wouldn’t have spent so much money!

You wouldn’t spend millions on something like this!”

Yi Haodong looked at him and said with a smile.

"Yes! I basically won't buy anything that costs more than 1 yuan now. The fun of antiques is to find bargains. If the price is too high, there will be no bargains, and there will be no fun."

It’s like the painting he bought has been pushed to the top, so it would be difficult to make money from it.

Those collectors may have initially bought with the intention of collecting them without selling them, but after a while, they found that they had lost money, and many of them ended up regretting it.

Of course, this does not apply to money laundering.

"You make sense! Whether you like it or not, you should try to reduce the cost of your collection as much as possible. I will try to check out the street stalls in the future."

The two then chatted about collections for a while.

Wu Yuansheng told Yi Haodong everything he didn't understand and was curious about, and he told him everything he knew.

He felt that this father-in-law was actually quite good, quite cheerful, not conservative in his thinking, and quite progressive with the times.
