Chapter 2 I'm back again

  Guo Yu left the address of his three siblings, gave them ten big oceans, and told them to go back and think about it. He would find them in two days, then Guo Yu found a deserted place to cross back to modern times.

  Lying in bed and not wanting to move, my mind is racing with thoughts that won't stop.

  Guo Yu is already 32 years old this year, although it's said to be the prime of life, but he has achieved nothing. He got divorced last year and had to leave his 7-year-old son with his parents. He studied economics management in college, but was always being managed by others. His salary was not high, and he had a mortgage to pay off. He quit his job last month and is currently looking for a new one during this period. In this third-tier small city, he feels that the pressure of life is great, just because the small city is too close to the capital.

  Now that I have the Tianzhu, my chance has come, this is a great fortune, I must grasp it well, cannot be arrogant, do not lose myself, I am still very weak now, need to slowly and carefully develop, there will be a day when I will laugh at the world.

  Feeling the Tianzhu space, now it's just the initial space, only a one-meter-diameter space. After upgrading later, it will be a tenfold increase in space for each level, and of course, the merit points are also required to be tenfold.

  It seems that I need to plan my own actions, it's better to do something short and flat in the near future, and then do something great and perfect later on. Thinking about my own future, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

  There's something to ask Baidu, this is the advantage of modern people.

  What things are worth selling in the Republic of China? Watches can be, but they don't sell much, just bring a few dozen and that's enough. Also try bringing some jade to test the waters, if it's real then it's definitely jade, of course it has to be the kind that's been treated with chemicals to make it look authentic, otherwise you'll lose money for sure. Another option is to smuggle in large quantities of modern industrial goods, which can earn a profit in the Republic of China, but not recently, as it's easy to get caught and exposed by people who are paying attention.

  Planning is a bit ordinary, but making money is the most important thing, first need to earn some start-up capital.

  Look at the money box beside the pillow, open it "clink" and pour all the silver coins onto the bed. After searching on the computer for half a day, there are Mexican eagle dollars, British trade dollars, Japanese dragon dollars, and Guangxu dragon dollars. It's quite messy, but it's said that some of the rare ones are valuable.

  The next morning, I called a classmate and drove my own car worth tens of thousands of yuan to Beijing.

  More than an hour later, I had a fight with my classmates at Liuli Factory and entered the "Jin Qian Zhai". Don't look at its vulgar name, but in this era, whatever you do must be specialized. This "Jin Qian Zhai" is specially engaged in trading metal ancient coins, and doesn't even bother with paper money.

  His classmate Zhang Chong joined an auction house after graduation and is now the department manager of "Four Seasons Auction Company", doing administrative management, and still has some connections in this antique industry.

  The boss of "Jin Qian Zhai" De Ge, Master Liu, Guo Yu and Zhang Chong sat down in the inner room after which they exchanged pleasantries for a while. Then Guo Yu placed the cash box on the table.

  "The old rattan box, with copper-plated corners and a copper handle, has an old cowhide buckle, it's the style of the Republic of China era, even the box is so particular." Before opening the box, Master Liu had already commented on the box.

  Then several people opened the box, sorted out the silver coins by year, quality and origin. After a good final price, Boss Dege took out the calculator and typed for a while, giving a price of 3.2 million. Later, Zhang Chong raised the price, and they finally settled on 3.3 million. Gu Yu also gave the box to Dege as a gift.

  "I said, Big Universe, how did you little guy start flipping silver dollars?" Zhang Chong asked after the two sat down in a restaurant. Before coming, Guo Yu didn't explain clearly, just saying to let him help contact the seller of silver dollars, and only then did Zhang Chong ask about the reason.

  "I quit my job last month, it was too poorly paid, I used my dad's old connections to start doing antique jade jewelry business, otherwise how could I make a living with that little salary in the future? I figured it out, I want to create opportunities for myself." Guo Yu lit a cigarette and took a puff, actually Guo Yu's father was an elementary school teacher who had already retired, where did he have any connections to sell antiques.

  "You look like you've been stimulated by divorce." Zhang Chong also lit a cigarette.

  "It's possible that I'm disliked for being incompetent and poor, but I must acknowledge my shortcomings and move forward bravely. My current ideal is to work hard to earn money and build a big backyard."

  "With ideals and ambitions, you can be considered one of those new four haves. " After finishing their sentence, both of them burst out laughing.

  "Second Uncle, introduce me to someone who sells high-quality jade. I don't want to be cheated again. Also, I've recently acquired a few antiques and will get you to contact an auction house to sell them later."

  "Antiques are no problem, I'm in this line of work, but what's the point of having jade? That thing can't be brought on one's body, it's just a scam. Many people can't tell, sometimes even experts can be deceived, but with a machine test, it can be detected immediately. You think you can sell it as genuine goods? No way, unless you're cheating some foolish customers."

  "I didn't plan to cheat anyone, I just planned to sell goods, so I couldn't let people be deceived when purchasing goods. Other goods aren't directly given to me by the glass factory, or else I would look for you."

  "That's okay, I actually have a friend who does this. After dinner, we'll go find him, it won't be wrong, guaranteed the lowest price in the industry, his craftsmanship is also good, and the goods are made like real ones." The two laughed again after finishing speaking.

  After dinner, the two drove to Zhang Chong's friend's place. The friend was called Zhu Guihe and had been doing this for years. Because of their friendship, he explicitly told Guo Yu that these were low-grade jadeite that had been treated with chemicals. Now they looked absolutely beautiful, but ordinary people wouldn't be able to tell that they weren't good quality. Sometimes even experts couldn't tell the difference. However, these things wouldn't last long and would gradually lose their color after a few years, slowly becoming dull and not as beautiful anymore. Moreover, because they had been treated with chemicals, they were also not good for people's health.

  Guo Yu originally intended to deceive people, of course, he deceived the officials and nobles of the Republic of China, and he didn't care about it.

  He first took ten pairs of earrings and pendants to test the waters. Then he ran to a wholesale market for department stores and bought dozens of watches, all high-quality replicas of Rolex automatic mechanical gold watches in many styles. He really dared to buy them, without fear of being exposed. This pile of things cost more than 20,000 yuan.

  Then I bought a bunch of things to give away, such as gold pens, PPO lighters, crystal glass decorations, stylish crystal brooches, and dozens of pearl necklaces. Good pearl necklaces are not cheap even if they're cultivated. I picked out some suitable pearl accessories in different colors and bought them all, spending over 10,000 yuan on these miscellaneous items.

  Let these things be packed in exquisite gift boxes by merchants and sent to others, both inside and outside are necessary.

  I feel like I can travel back to the Republic of China era, but suddenly I realize that I've sold all my silver coins and now I don't have any money to spend, this is a big problem.

  Also through "Jin Qian Zhai" De Ge's relationship, he found a store that makes ancient silver coins and customized 1,000 silver dollars, spending over 8,000. Guo Yu suddenly had an idea, since the financial management of the Republic of China was so chaotic, he could also make his own silver coins, mainly because he wanted to print his own portrait on the silver coins, and he started daydreaming again.

  The silver coin is similar to the Longyang, with a silver content of 88%. Let's give it a national name and a bank name, let's call it "Nanhua Empire" and "Nanhua Empire Central Bank". It's just temporary for now. The south belongs to fire, so the emblem will be the phoenix. Just thinking about it makes me laugh.

  After discussing with the shop owner, it can be done, but opening a separate mold will cost extra. If you pay for it, you can make whatever shape you want. In fact, there are also people who customize gold and silver coins nowadays, mostly used for commemoration and company anniversaries.

  It took a long time to finalize the style, and even my own avatar was uploaded. Guo Yu directly ordered 10,000 copies, and the mold fee was borne by himself, which added up to 100,000 yuan for the store owner. This would take some time to make, but Guo Yu wasn't in a hurry, so he paid the deposit and went home.

  Everything was packed into space, and after bringing some daily necessities, a few suits of shoes, etc., Guo Yu just waited for tomorrow morning to pass.

  Back to the Republic of China, the air in the morning still has a hint of coolness. Had an authentic Beijing-style breakfast at Tianqiao Bridge North, and then hired a carriage from the shopkeeper, heading straight for Rongguo Restaurant.

  "Sir, we only receive distinguished guests here." He was stopped by the doorman as soon as he arrived at the entrance.

  "I'm going to receive Mr. Charles from the American Oil Company here, and in a few days Mr. Charles will be coming from America. At that time, even the American ambassador will come to receive Mr. Charles. Do you think I shouldn't live here?" Gu Yu himself didn't know who Charles was, but he opened his mouth and spoke fluent English, stunning the doorman.

  The door child did not know the details of Guo Yu, and was fooled into a daze. Guo Yu successfully opened a large private room at the Liu Guo Restaurant, but it was expensive, costing 20 silver coins per day.

  Call a waiter, give him the address of the three artistic siblings, and instruct him to bring them to the restaurant.
