Chapter 136:113, a big bargain? A jadeite raw stone worth 30 million!_1
( Yesterday, you happened to pass by the intersection of Nan Yuan Street in Yu Hang District and Xin Geng Road, and acquired some intelligence the
Yongshunxiang Antique and Raw Stone Market will soon auction off a jade raw stone worth thirty million yuan.]
Though the information wasn’t very detailed, Lin Mo was well-versed in handling such intelligence.
“It seems I can walk around the Yongshunxiang Antique and Raw Stone Market this afternoon or tomorrow.”
If I get lucky and find a great deal, won’t the money just roll in?”
Even though he was still short of money, Lin Mo was much more relaxed and composed than he had been a few months ago.
He didn’t even mind if he might end up making the trip for nothing.
Kidding? Hard to find toads with three legs, but isn’t information for making money going to come sooner or later?
Just need enough patience, at worst like before, just keep an eye on those lotteries, football matches, antique markets, futures, securities companies…
If one side doesn’t shine, the other will, and I’ll make big money sooner or later!
No need to hurry at all.
About half an hour passed by.
The painter finally finished, walked over with the canvas: “It’s done, Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, please take a look and see if you’re satisfied. If not, point it out and I’ll make the corrections immediately.”
Li Jinwen took the painting and in an instant, his eyes lit up!
Beautiful!
Really beautiful!
He had painted the three of them in the style of anime characters, and it didn’t look out of place at all.
In the painting, Lin Mo and Li Jinwen were smiling very happily.
As for Lin Xiaoxiao, she was joyfully chasing a pink butterfly.
The painter was very attentive to details, even capturing Li Jinwen’s slightly bulging belly, obviously noticing her pregnancy.
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at the painting and also exclaimed, “Wow… how beautiful!”
“Indeed, it’s well done.”
Lin Mo nodded, not stingy with his praise, and smilingly asked, “Can we take this with us? If so, I want to have it framed and then hang it in my living room!”
Of course,1 the painter said shyly with a smile after the compliment, “But, Mr. Lin, could you possibly wait for us to finish the digital version and then we’ll mail it to you? Also, the painting still needs some background added to it, otherwise it’s too plain. It will be ready soon, probably tomorrow.”
“No problem.”
Lin Mo agreed with a smile and handed the painting back to the artist.
The painter didn’t linger, said goodbye to Lin Mo, and went off to get busy.
Lin Mo looked at the time and said to Li Jinwen and Lin Xiaoxiao, “Wife, shall we go? I’ll grab something to eat to fill my stomach, and then in the afternoon, we’ll have a good stroll in Yuhang.”
Last time Lin Mo visited Yuhang, he explored many ancient relics and earned a good sum of money after returning to Rakshasa City.
Since he was here again, he naturally had to revisit those places with his family and see if he could pick up more information for making money.
After the celebration was over, Zhang Yihua, who had just finished busying around and hadn’t even had time to eat, rushed over to ask Lin Mo and Li Jinwen if they had any plans for the afternoon. He offered to act as a tour guide and driver, taking them around for a good time.
“Don’t rush, really, it’s not like we’re going to sneak off.” Seeing Zhang Yihua’s enthusiasm, Lin Mo smiled and said, “We don’t have any specific plans, just planning to go for a walk. The only thing is, I don’t know where would be entertaining to visit. We rarely get the chance to go out as a family. Do you have any good suggestions?”
Zhang Yihua, although not a local of Yuhang, had lived there for many years; he stayed there after graduating from the university. Asking for his opinion was quite reliable.
Zhang Yihua fell into thought and after mumbling for half a minute, finally said, 1 he ‘Dreams of Starlight’ anime exhibition is on display at the culture center today, why not go check it out?”
Huh?
Lin Mo nearly spat blood in shock.
Brother, didn’t you notice I’m with my wife and daughter? An anime exhibition to see cleavage and long legs?
Is that appropriate?
Is it!!!
Li Jinwen also felt speechless.
Seeing that neither responded, Zhang Yihua, oblivious to what had transpired, continued, “Don’t enjoy visiting anime exhibitions? There’s a Werewolf Kill Script Museum nearby which is pretty fun, and also a maid cafe down Dongda Road…”
“Stop stop stop… hold on there…” Lin Mo raised his hand, stopping Zhang Yihua midway, “Zhang, you go ahead with your work; I’ll just take my family for a casual stroll.”
He really knew he had made a mistake,
he never should have carelessly asked for advice about where to go for fun from a guy who has been a geek since university and is a die-hard anime fan to boot!
Li Jinwen also hastened to add, “Yes, yes, Zhang, it looks like you’re pretty busy here, and you’ve also got a lot of friends around. You’ll be occupied this afternoon for sure. Don’t worry about us, go ahead with your work!”
“Ah? This…”
“No more ‘ah’, just get busy. I’m still waiting to share the profits from the anime launch.”
“Goodbye, goodbye, no need to see us out, we’ll be in touch later.”
“Well…”
“Why leave in such a hurry…”
“Hey, old classmate… Take it slow on the road, okay!”
The couple, almost as if escaping, pulled their daughter, who seemed to have already taken an interest in the anime exhibition, and hurriedly left without looking back as they entered the elevator.
Watching the elevator doors close slowly, Zhang Yihua scratched his head in confusion before asking his female assistant, “What happened? Did I say something wrong just now?”
The female assistant’s mouth twitched, and she shook her head, “No, boss, you didn’t say anything wrong, they just can’t appreciate your unique taste.”
“Come on, boss, let’s continue our hard work, and devote our hearts to the anime industry of Huaxia!”
Then earn more money…. and become rich second generation!”
