Chapter 77: Buy a car and play with jade

New York's average temperature in March is only one to nine degrees, and it is especially cold in the morning, and the six floors of Manhattan's Upper West Side are all heated.

Han Xuan just got up, his hair was a little messy, his eyes were sleepy, he was only wearing a small gray neen, and walked to the cloakroom barefoot.

The room is more than twenty square meters, surrounded by open wardrobes, which the old man specially left for his grandson, this time knowing that he was coming over, he prepared a lot of new clothes, and the old ones were also hung here, seeing them Han Xuan was speechless for a while.

There are also some watch cases in the middle glass counter, from Disney's Mickey Mouse cartoon watches, to IWC, Breguet, Vacheron Constantin, forty or fifty large and small.

Han Xuan took a few pieces of clothing, stood in front of the fitting mirror and gestured, and quickly picked out a red and white plaid sweater, added a sheepskin lapel small leather jacket on the outside, and chose a white Yankees baseball cap, buttoned it on his head, and raised his legs outward.

The toilet window was not closed, a gust of cold wind blew in, Han Xuan lowered his head: "Pants ......"

After washing, go down the stairs on the second floor, Yuan Qinghua Guiguzi down the mountain big pot in the corner, since the identification is genuine, its treatment is a shotgun gun, now with a glass cover, the bottom cushion golden velvet blanket, no matter how you look at it is noble.

For more than three years, there has not changed much here, it is almost the same as the last time I came, the Qing Dynasty pastel vase is still placed in the living room, the sun shines in through the window, full of greenery, almost blinding Han Xuan's eyes.

"What's that?" Walking over and stretching out his hand, it felt like a jade, about thirty centimeters in height and twenty centimeters in width, he knew this thing, but it was the first time he had seen such a big one.

"Tongzi Guanyin jade ornaments, bought when I was on a business trip in Hong Kong, there is an old thing to rob me, not in my hands." The old man shook the newspaper and looked very smug, as if he had a holiday with the man he was talking about.

Jadeite is rarely seen in the West, and Han Xuan almost forgot about this kind of thing, and the price doubled in a year in the future.

Now, China has just opened, people have no money in their pockets, and they can't be wronged, Burmese cabbage sells this at a price, puts down the ornaments and sits down in front of grandpa: "I can buy more." ”

He took out the emerald gem on his chest and pointed: "I think it will be more expensive than this in the future." ”

Old man Han said casually: "The thing is from the Qing Dynasty, 7.7 kilograms, if it weren't for the fact that it is big enough and the workmanship is good, I wouldn't have bought it, 3 million US dollars." There is a Cixi's jade cabbage in Taipei that is regarded as the treasure of the town hall, and that is valuable. ”

"I don't care, you don't buy it or not."

"Buy! Pull it in a truck to pile up your room and see where you sleep at night. Amused by his grandson's coquettishness, the old man closed the newspaper and got up, pushed him to the restaurant, and said: "Go to breakfast first, I'll let you do those jade, I know that you have a good eye, wait and then go to the lower city, it's okay in the last few days, I'll accompany you." ”

"By the way, where's my grandmother?" Han Xuan sat at the table, took a fried egg sandwich, and asked while eating.

"I've been traveling, South America is still somewhere, how many adults are, I party with friends every day, regardless of her."

"That's what grandma will enjoy."

", leave me alone in Los Angeles, I can't even drink hot soup when I get home from work, just like your dad, white-eyed wolf."

"I'll tell her when she gets back." Slowly, Sili drank warm milk, and Han Xuan smiled evilly.

“…… Don't! ”

……

Because the headquarters of the United Nations is here, New York has become the diplomatic capital of the world.

Diplomats from various countries at the United Nations had to live in New York, and Han Xuan saw an unusually familiar red flag.

Now there is very little news in Europe and the United States that reports it positively, and how poor and backward it is, which makes Han Xuan a little disappointed, and looks forward to it flourishing along the trajectory of its previous life.

The grandfather and grandson came back from downtown after finishing their business, as if there was some important meeting, and there were many barricades in the streets near the United Nations building near 42nd Street on First Avenue.

The police also patrolled the area with heavy guns, making the already congested traffic even more congested and giving a different atmosphere to the commercial atmosphere of New York.

A deceitful diplomatic metropolis.

Not far away, Wall Street, which is only 500 meters long, is home to more than 2,000 banks, securities, insurance, stock trading and other companies.

On December 25, 1991, when the Soviet Union was declared to be dissolved, the financial entrepreneurs in suits were pleasantly surprised to find that the feast had just begun, and they gathered around to suck the last drop of its blood.

But these have nothing to do with Han Xuan now, the traffic jam is annoying, and he complained to the old man: "I knew that Benjamin would drive a helicopter to send us, there are too many cars here, and where are we going?" ”

"I have a good thing to buy, the owner told me last month, I haven't had time to go, and today is just right." Old Man Han didn't call Little John over, and drove by himself.

The police officer next to him was polite and asked Bentley to go first from the bus lane, and the bus was still stuck behind anyway.

The other drivers were not surprised, because this is New York, as if the privileges of the rich are deserved.

There was a black man who was stuck in a traffic jam and delayed his own affairs, and he was arguing with the police, and the old policeman felt that he was suspected of attacking the police, so he immediately pulled out his gun, and the surroundings quickly quieted down.

The road ahead became clear, and after more than ten minutes, he arrived at the Manhattan Art and Antique Center, and Han Xuan looked out, there were many galleries and antique shops on both sides, as well as a museum building on the corner of the intersection.

Unlike when I played in Panjiayuan, there are no small vendors here, at least a few square shops, selling some "handicrafts" to tourists.

Drive in from the alley next to the more than 20-story old building, park the car in the underground parking lot, take the elevator up to the third floor, the door has just opened, and hundreds of square meters of shops have entered Han Xuan's sight.

Inside, it was like a jewelry fair, all kinds of antiques were locked in the window, the pure white light hit it, the glass looked thick, the corner monitor followed the two of them, and the big man in black opened the iron door with a soft sound.

Somehow, Han Xuan's head popped out of some kind of transaction scene in yesterday's movie, but fortunately, there were other customers hanging out with champagne, which dispelled his concerns, and he felt funny in his heart, he was his own grandson.

There was a bronze vessel of more than 20 centimeters in the front, Han Xuan knew which country it was when he looked at it, the shape of the Vermilion Bird was too conspicuous, and he walked over and took a look, the price was clearly marked on it, 650,000 US dollars.

In addition to doing business, Mr. Han has such a hobby, probably because he came to the past, and he picked out new goods to take a closer look.

Han Xuan came to him, inside was a big bowl of red peony chrysanthemum in the glaze of Ming Hongwu, don't ask Han Xuan why he knew, the sign was clearly written in Chinese and English.

I don't know it anymore, but there's still Japanese at the bottom.

"I know this thing, it was sold in Hong Kong for 20.35 million Hong Kong dollars in 89, and now it is only sold for 2.2 million US dollars?" Old Man Han muttered in his mouth.

Han Xuan said: "Now the exchange rate is one to seven points seventy-five, is it still cheaper?" ”

"Almost, the auction price is inflated." After saying goodbye to his grandson, he beckoned: "Ma'am? Please show me this. ”

"Sir, you really have a vision, you just arrived two days ago, and many people have come to ask about it."

Han Xuan heard her speak and touched his chin.

"It's like being in Panjiayuan now......"
