Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire

Chapter 253 - 253 242 Two Deposits

?Chapter 253: Chapter 242 Two Deposits Chapter 253: Chapter 242 Two Deposits Over a month later, Su Heyuan called Lu Jiaxin to tell her that the batch of antiques had all been sold, totaling 6.98 million Hong Kong Dollars.

Lu Jiaxin was greatly startled, “That much?”

Antiques from the Mainland sold in Hong Kong would easily see an increase of five to six times in value, with particularly rare pieces fetching twenty times their price. However, Jiaxin had not only kept the treasures and jade for herself but also picked out six other items she liked. Since the payment was calculated based on the price from the Forty-nine City, the quantity was relatively large. After deducting the ones she kept for herself, there were thirty-two items left.

Su Heyuan said with a laugh, “There was a Yongzheng Reign Period famille rose ‘prosperity and longevity’ large plate that was supposedly used by the emperor, and it sold for one hundred and eighty-eight million. Indeed, it was a huge profit; it’s made me consider getting into the antique business.”

Lu Jiaxin replied, “Dealing in antiques can be very lucrative, but we’re outsiders and it’s easy to get conned. Moreover, some antiques of unclear provenance might be stolen goods, which could be troublesome to acquire and then resell.”

She would not engage in the antique business, at most collecting pieces she liked. This time she had been lucky—the three men had obtained their collections cheaply and were generous when using them to settle accounts, allowing her to pick up a great bargain.

Su Heyuan laughed, “I was just joking. Even if I were interested, my aunt would never agree; firstly, because I don’t understand it, and secondly, it’s rather sensitive.”

Lu Jiaxin remarked, “Big Brother Su, you helped me find buyers to liquidate the assets, and then you transported them to Hong Kong and found buyers again. According to the rules, I should give you a ten percent commission, and the rest you can transfer to Hang Seng Bank.”
