Chapter 68 Want to take root in Manhattan

Please bookmark, recommend...

Fang Bo looked at Jin Muchen's eyes and felt quite angry that he was not fighting.

Jin Muchen lowered his head in shame.

"Mu Chen, you have to know that for antique collectors, such a bowl is a treasure that is hard to come by! Even if you read countless treasures in your life, you may not be able to truly get such a treasure!?"

Fang Bo said with some heartache, and this time Jin Muchen raised his head and his eyes became very firm.

"Yes, Bo Fang, I know, but look at my current conditions, are I suitable to collect such treasures? I am just an entry-level antique businessman now, not an antique collector. This bowl is indeed a national treasure, but you also know that the current situation of my family does require money. On the other hand, I have been thinking about whether to set up a home in the United States and then take my parents from China, all of which require money."

What Jin Muchen said this time was the truth. After hearing this, Fang Bo did not object, but fell into deep thought.

Before, there was a problem with the family's capital chain, and Jin Muchen had sent back more than 200,000 US dollars one after another. However, every time he called his mother, his mother stammered and did not tell him the situation at home in detail. So Jin Muchen estimated that the troubles at home should be quite large, and there should be a certain gap in money.

On the other hand, he is now an entry-level antique businessman and is not a player. There are indeed many treasures in the United States, but you may not be able to pick up every time, and there are always times when you need to spend money to buy it.

Antiques are different from other products. They are often traded for hundreds of thousands or millions. In the future, they may have to use money for something good, so they can't borrow money from others or miss it if they are staring at me?

Another point is that he had been thinking about opening an antique shop by himself after he got out of the army.

If I play with antiques in the future, I can’t just enter and exit. I have to find a living for myself, right?

After he entered the industry for some time, through his own learning and comparison, he felt that it would be best to open a store in Manhattan when doing antique business, after all, it is the closest place to a real high-end customer.

So he had long thought that if one day he had money, he would have to buy a house and open a store in Manhattan.

He has lived since he was a child, grew up in the city, and he has never thought of buying a country house in rural America with beautiful scenery and elegant environment.

He has read a lot of yy American novels on a yy website in China. He usually buys a big villa in the countryside or opens a big farm, and lives a free and easy life.

When he read such novels, he just smiled it. He was just a writer who lived in the city all day long. In yy, if you really brought him to the big rural area in the United States to live for a while, let alone a year, he might not be able to stand it.

The environment of the farm in the United States is indeed good, but it is exactly the same saying, it’s good mountains, good water, and so boring.

If he had to live in a deserted place for several square miles around, and if he had to drive a suburban farm that would take more than an hour to buy toilet paper in the city, he would probably not have to go crazy in a week.

So compared to the quiet rural areas, he still likes densely populated cities, and the core area of ​​New York is Manhattan, but the housing prices in that place are not cheap at all. The best locations and even the housing prices are not much worse than Wudaokou, the center of the universe.

An apartment building of 200 to 300 square meters can cost 18 million US dollars, which is definitely not something he can afford now.

But if this bowl can be auctioned successfully, it will be different. In an instant, he can move from a millionaire to a millionaire.

By then, you will take root in Manhattan and buy a house and open a store, that’s not a big deal!

"Well, I understand your thoughts, I didn't think so much before. It's better if you want to buy them. After all, such a national treasure-level collection should not be kept in the hands of us. If it is known, some people will inevitably have some bad ideas."

Fang Bo also figured out this matter at this time and stopped talking about any objections.

"but..."

"Hehe, Bo Fang, don't worry, since this bowl has reached my hands, I will definitely not sell it to those foreigners. I must find a way to get it back to China. At least domestic collectors should be allowed to collect this bowl."

As soon as Fang Bo opened his mouth, Jin Muchen knew what he meant.

Indeed, such a national treasure has been wandering overseas for so many years. It is time to let it go home and let the people of the motherland know him well.

The significance of such a bowl in a museum in China is to be far from a strong country and be treasured by these foreign collectors.

"Well, if you can think like this, that's great, let's contact the buyer. I guess such a treasure can only be afforded by the boss Wang last time. I guess the others are powerless even if they want to buy them. Although we want this bowl to flow back to China, we can't do it for nothing, right?"

At this time, Fang Bo smiled, and Jin Muchen seemed to have seen Fang Bo who was thick-faced and dark-hearted that day.

"By the way, do you want to sell all the other items together?"

Fang Bo remembered several other bottles and jade items that Jin Muchen brought back today.

Jin Muchen nodded: "Well, sell them all, and leave no one."

Now his mind is full of Manhattan houses. Having a house alone is not enough, and there are also shops?

Although Manhattan is the best area of ​​New York, it is not a good place on the entire island.

Anyone who has lived in Manhattan probably doesn't like going to Harlem or Washington Heights.

Harlem is located in Manhattan, but its reputation is no different from Brooklyn. It is both a notorious black settlement and a place where sins are rampant.

So if you want to live well in Manhattan and do a good job in business, it is best to choose a place away from that.

Decent places, such as Shangcheng District or Soho District, are famous areas with high housing prices, so at this time he thought that the more money he had, the better.

Even the national treasure-level gold-mounted instrument is not kept. What's the use of those bottles left? It's better to sell them all.

"Okay, then I'll contact Mr. Wang first to see if he's still in the United States and can a person eat so many good things. If not, I'm contacting others. If it really doesn't work, I can only find a way to transport these things to Xiangjiang, or take photos in China. That would be more troublesome and the cycle would be very long."

Fang Bo said that he picked up the phone, and Jin Muchen nodded.

"It's okay, Bo Fang, I can afford to wait."

Unfortunately, this time, Uncle Fang called a phone call, and Mr. Wang did not rush to answer it. After calling twice, Uncle Fang had no choice but to put down the phone and contact him tomorrow.

A few treasures were locked in the safe downstairs first.

The next day, Jin Muchen got up and called Candice first, but Candice didn't answer. Jin Muchen had no choice but to wait for the afternoon or evening, find some time to meet Candice in person, and then explain to her carefully.

After dinner in the morning, Uncle Fang finally contacted Mr. Wang.

After briefly talking about the situation here, Mr. Wang was indeed very interested, especially after hearing that Fang Bo had collected a national treasure this time, Mr. Wang was even more anxious and couldn't sit still.

However, he is now in China and is still plagued by some official duties. Even if he wants to come here, he doesn't have that fast, so he made an appointment with Fang Bo to keep it for him. When it's Christmas, he will come over to collect it together.

It just so happened that Christmas was still more than a month, so Fang Bo agreed.

There were not many customers in the antique shop in the morning. This is how those who do antique business are. They must endure loneliness, because the ancestors of this business have long summarized that they will not open for three years and eat for three years.

In the afternoon, Jin Muchen greeted Fang Bo and wanted to go to the distribution center.

After all, I have quit my job with John, and there are still some procedures to be processed, especially some of the work clothes I have previously distributed to him, which I have to send back.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, he appeared at the gate of the distribution center on time. Several familiar workers saw him driving over and greeted him.

"WTF, Mu Chen, what have you been doing recently? Have you made a fortune? Even Infiniti is driving? Damn! I have known for a long time that you are not simple, so tell me honestly what you are doing at home? Are you the red noble of the Celestial Empire?"

Paul ran over first and asked with a smile on his shoulder as soon as he came up.

Jin Muchen had long been used to this guy's unrestrained habit and was not angry at all.

"Come on? If I had a red noble at home, I would have to come here to be a porter?"

"Hehe, who knows what are the problems with you rich guys? Anyway, I know that you rich people will have some quirks of this or that..."

Paul said to Jin Muchen with a slutty smile, and Jin Muchen shook his head.

"Where is John? I have something to look for him."

"It's in the office over there. You're leaving. John seems very unhappy. Go quickly, remember to come out together with Hapi when you have time!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely."

Jin Muchen smiled and pushed Paul away and walked towards the simple office made of containers over there.
