Chapter 215 The High-priced Old Man
Things went really smoothly next.
Only one day later, Aunt Liu called Huo Xin and Ning Weimin to tell Huo Xin and Ning Weimin the good news, saying that the matter was settled.
On the phone, Aunt Liu was extremely proud.
She claimed that with just a piece of contract, Director Wu, who was good at making decisions, was left speechless and extremely embarrassed.
Even Xiao Zhang, who was acting as a roadblock, was scolded by her in front of Director Wu.
She also said that if the leader had not intervened in the end and Director Wu apologized and said a lot of nice things to her, the matter would never have been settled.
So now when it comes to handling inventory, Ning Weimin's side completely occupies the high point of reason.
He must buy the things in the library first, and then it will be the Hong Kong businessman's turn after he has finished picking them.
Aunt Liu asked Ning Weimin not to pay any deposit.
As much as he wants, he can just take the money and pick up the goods.
Just remind him to hurry up.
Because the Hong Kong passenger has already flown back to the port city to raise money, he will probably be able to bring the money back within ten days.
If someone brings real money and silver, it will be difficult to deal with it if there is no movement from Ning Weimin.
In this case, Aunt Liu could not delay it for too long.
At most, it can only delay Ning Weimin for three days.
Of course Ning Weimin is very grateful for this.
After thanking Aunt Liu, he did not dare to delay at all, so he started planning and arranging everything intensively.
As for specific problems, freight is actually the best solution.
Because things like calligraphy and painting are small, it doesn’t take much trouble to transport them.
These days, there are lifting companies everywhere, and you can find ten or eight human-powered tricycles at short notice, and the prices are very cheap.
It costs five yuan for a car, and it is a great job for the tricycle driver to handle the transportation.
But the packing and inventory may have to be a little more improvised.
Because time was so tight, Ning Weimin couldn't find so many camphor wood boxes by scratching.
I’m afraid I can only make do with cardboard boxes for now, and then slowly replace them later.
Secondly, houses are too scarce these days. Currently, there is no other way to obtain them except relying on public allocation.
But things like calligraphy and painting are too delicate and not as solid as porcelain and wood.
Master Luo and his factory can no longer use the air-raid shelter.
At present, apart from placing it in Chongwenmen Hotel, it is really difficult to find other suitable places.
To completely solve this problem, I am afraid we can only wait until the superiors provide policies to liberalize private housing transactions.
Of course, what worries Ning Weimin the most is his lack of cash.
To be honest, he has really made a lot of money since traveling to this era.
In fact, he has become the leading rich man in the capital.
Based on his current net worth, let alone two hundred thousand, even three hundred thousand is enough.
But the problem is, even though the business he cooperated with Zhang Shihui is so prosperous, he is still receiving a high salary and can earn almost 18,000 yuan a month.
But collecting any category requires investing in gold and silver.
He spends whatever he earns, and all his money is spent on things.
To put it bluntly, two hands cannot cover five bowls.
It is difficult for most people to specialize in one area. How many people can be versatile?
It is not easy for him to be able to handle stamps, calligraphy and paintings at the same time, and also occasionally collect exquisite porcelain and copperware.
It can be imagined that it was difficult to get these things.
It would be unrealistic for him to sell his money to raise money for this matter.
Not to mention whether you want to give it up or not, whether it is worth it or not, whether you take off your pants and fart, just in terms of time, it is too late. So this situation is extremely awkward.
Right now, Ning Weimin has a lot of money to spend. The cash in Ning Weimin's hand is only more than 6,000 yuan, and he needs to exchange it for foreign exchange coupons of at most 5,000 yuan.
Ordinary people may be very happy if they have this kind of money, and they can directly realize the four modernizations of life.
But if you use it to buy paintings, it will definitely be a drop in the bucket. It's pitiful.
There is no doubt that what Kang Shude once said at this time.
“There are two most common regrets in life, one is being unable to do what you can, and the other is using too much force.”
Ning Weimin truly had a deep understanding.
There is no other way. Since I don't have it, I can only borrow it.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of rich people around Ning Weimin.
And with his reputation and eloquence, it is not too shabby to open his mouth to borrow money.
No, he adheres to the principle of putting the easy things first and then the difficult ones. Rabbits only eat grass on the edge of their nests. The first choice is his master Kang Shude.
Why?
Because first, the old man has nowhere to spend his money.
In daily life, the most expensive items such as cigarettes, wine, tea, and snacks are all high-end goods provided by Ning Weimin on time.
Ning Weimin also paid for the rent, water and electricity for the whole hospital.
The old man himself works in the communication room, so he doesn’t have to spend money to read newspapers and magazines.
The most his salary can do is buy some firewood, rice, oil, salt and some wine and food, which he can't spend at all.
In addition, the old man’s way of bringing in money is not old or young.
Not to mention anything else, it has been ten months since Ning Weimin handed over his salary to the old man.
After leaving the Chongwenmen Hotel, Ning Weimin became a golden collar, and the tide rose even more.
Since then, the old man has been given an increase of 200 yuan, and he still pays double tribute during the holidays.
In addition, when he took back his family property at the beginning of the year, the old man sold a lot of useless things.
As well as the two pieces of living money he earned from his usual trips to the ghost market.
Conservatively speaking, the old man should have 18,000 yuan in hand, and he is truly a high-priced old man.
Then if the money is idle, isn’t it just idle? How about the interest?
What a shameful waste!
How about borrowing it for support?
Just like that, when Kang Shude came back from get off work that day, he found that Ning Weimin, who had disappeared for several days, suddenly appeared at home.
What’s even more strange is that there is a sumptuous table of wine and food set up in the room, and the table is full of his favorite dishes.
Braised pork elbow, dry croquettes, fried diced meat in sauce, and crabs.
There is also a plate of fried peanuts and cold preserved eggs.
Well, you can tell by the smell that it is Ruibinlou’s craftsmanship.
Even the wine went well with him. The hot Jimo rice wine had Xianhua plum in it.
It was like a magic trick.
And this apprentice is facing his master.
He smiled humbly as never before, and everything that came out of his mouth was full of good words.
Well, what a nice greeting and greeting, you are so attentive! He looks more filial than his own son!
But the more it goes like this, the more fake it becomes, and it's obviously just a trick.
What kind of person is Kang Shude? Who hasn't he seen in this life?
Facing this situation, he had already guessed what medicine Ning Weimin was selling in his gourd.
