Chapter 1895: Chapter 1895: Daughter Inheriting Her Mother’s Path 3

These shops have so many cultural relics and antiques, no wonder the salesperson at the Friendship Store said there are nearly a million items, and no wonder people later said that during the late 1980s, there were up to three million pieces of cultural relics handed over to the department and sealed after valuation.

That’s just one store in Shanghai.

But she didn’t have enough money on hand, nor enough time, and it was impossible to purchase in bulk in her own name, wholesale was only possible for export.

In the short term, she didn’t know if there would be another opportunity to come to Shanghai. Feng Qingxue couldn’t resist the temptation of huge profit, discussed it with the children, and called Lu Jiang to explain, finally delaying the return time.

Delaying going back means delaying schooling, which excited Lu Erxiong the most, making him want to shout loudly.

Feng Qingxue wasn’t worried about their studies, as Xibao had said they were learning far beyond their school level back home, so during the delay, she arranged for Ye Yan and Fubao to supervise the triplets to review their lessons when not going out to play, and she would often check their homework to prevent them from neglecting their studies due to playing.

Before Adrian prepared to go to the Capital, Feng Qingxue asked him to accompany her and the kids for a tour of the Friendship Store.

The items with the most investment potential were two kinds: antiques and jade, with mutton-fat jade being somewhat inferior.

Compared to real estate, Feng Qingxue believed investing in these two items had a brighter future.

Just think, entering the 1980s, a Beijing Siheyuan needing an investment of ten thousand, hundreds of thousands, or even a six-figure sum, not to mention the money and effort needed for repair and preservation, possibly having to deal with the occupants living in the Siheyuan, would be worth a fortune in the 21st century, ranging from tens of millions to billions, but nothing gives the thrill of wearing a set of exquisite jade.

The true premium is old-mine Glassy Jadeite Imperial Green, one in a billion of high-end jade, with a single bracelet potentially worth billions, not to mention the complete set in her hand, along with the unprocessed jadeite rough stones.

All of these jade items put together didn’t cost her more than ten thousand.

Jade is like this, and so are antiques.

At the Friendship Store, sure enough, there were new treasures placed on the counter, and Feng Qingxue immediately took a fancy to a Qianlong Era Famille Rose Hollow Turning Heart Vase, dazzling in coloration and so colorful it made one’s head spin.

But it was eye-catching and valuable, worth several billion in terms of craftsmanship and history.

“This vase is beautiful, there’s actually another vase inside it that can rotate, displaying a different pattern from the outer vase. It’s truly amazing, impressive!” Adrian found it fascinating and took specialized photos from all angles, “I’ll definitely buy one to take back when I prepare to return home.”

Compared to a dish, the Turning Heart Vase was more expensive, costing Feng Qingxue eight hundred yuan, it hurt, but thinking of this vase being worth billions in thirty or forty years, that pain wasn’t so noticeable.

Feng Qingxue deeply felt that her investment was wise.

“Mom, can you lend me a hundred yuan?” Fubao suddenly asked.

Feng Qingxue was taken aback, “What do you need money for?”

Fubao pointed to the cabinet displaying many jewelry pieces, “I saw a beautiful piece of jewelry, I want to buy it. Without Adrian’s help next time, I surely won’t be able to buy it.”

They all didn’t have foreign passports, nor did they have remittance coupons on hand.

Currently, gold and silver were almost entirely purchased by banks, even though the jewelry here included gold and silver pieces, it mostly consisted of gems.
