Chapter 895: Finally... Cleared Out!
After reaching the first floor, Cao Dongfang finally confirmed that women like to go shopping in the clothing and jewelry sections, regardless of age.
Cao's mother and Song Xianxian went to each counter, evaluating each piece of jewelry. They spent a total of four hours looking at the first five floors and the car show.
In the last jewelry area, Cao Dongfang thought the two would have to look around for at least another four hours until it closed at six in the evening.
It’s not even two o’clock in the afternoon now. I haven’t had lunch yet, but I’m still so excited to look at jewelry. Is it really that important?
There are four jewelry shops here, and Cao Dongfang still thinks that Tang Juan’s jewelry is the best and has the most complete variety.
All the raw materials for her jewelry company, except for gold and silver jewelry, were sold to her by Cao Dongfang.
All the precious raw materials in the world are included here. The types of jewelry produced by the other three companies are so poor. Even the domestic jade products are not many?
But they put a lot of effort into gold and silver jewelry, and it has to be admitted that the gold jewelry looks good.
Tang Juan also paid great attention to it, and the materials and appearance were all the best. No one else had the three most precious pieces of jewelry in the store.
A set of all-ruby imitation European 18th century official jewelry. A set of pure color diamond jewelry, the largest diamond is over carats.
The last set is a complete set of imperial green jadeite jewelry, which is no worse than the one Song XX has, but it is on display and not for sale to the public.
This did not stop everyone's curiosity, and many people asked about the price. After hearing that the jewelry was not for sale, they left with regret.
After hearing that the owner of the jewelry was Cao Dongfang, some people left helplessly. Was there nothing they could do?
Someone offered 100 million yuan for that set of imperial green jadeite jewelry, but it was still rejected. It's not a matter of money.
And when it was said that the owner was Cao Dongfang, the relevant departments came forward to confirm it and told the world that this was legal and that Comrade Cao Dongfang obtained it abroad in the 1960s.
No one was talking, so we could only take photos. Tang Juan had prepared a lot of security personnel for this, as the three sets of jewelry were too valuable.
This is what happened on the first day. It was published on the Internet and in newspapers, and many people knew about it.
It is generally believed that Cao Dongfang obtained it from a foreign country in the 1960s. The country did not want it at the time and gave it to Cao Dongfang for personal handling. It is his private property.
This is nationally recognized and there is no problem with it.
"Dongfang, even if someone offered 100 million to buy this set of imperial green jadeite jewelry, is it really worth that much money? What do you think about me wearing it?" Song Xianxian came to the imperial green jadeite jewelry.
“Whether it’s worth it depends on what price the buyer is willing to pay. It doesn’t necessarily depend on how much the jewelry itself is worth. Is 100 million a lot for some people?
People are different, which also leads to different values. You have to think about spending 100 million yuan, because you only have 1 billion yuan.
If MCA and anti-Japanese groups want to buy, they will not think that their annual net income exceeds NT$100 billion, and spending NT$100 million is only one thousandth of their annual net income.
Most people can only watch, say a few insincere words or give a few compliments, all because of different values.
You know why someone made an offer for this set of imperial green jadeite jewelry, and you know who has the other set. Your identities are also different.
I gave it to you because you like it. You don’t wear it outside on weekdays, and you don’t wear it on important occasions. You wear it at home or in front of your mother. "Cao Dongfang explained.
"I have nowhere to wear it. Which of these three sets of jewelry do you think is the most valuable?" Song Xianxian asked.
"They are all the same. It's just that the raw materials are rare, so they are valuable. Anything will not be too valuable if there is too much of it. It's true that things are valuable because they are rare."
"Do you still have the imperial green jade? I'm talking about the raw jade, not made into jewelry, just design a few pieces of jewelry.
The imperial green jadeite in the jewelry is smaller and can be worn outside on weekdays. The imperial green jadeite on the necklace in this set of jewelry is too big. "Song Xianxian asked.
"I have them all. I can make any color you like. Can you design jewelry?" Cao Dongfang said with a smile.
"I don't know how to do it now, but I will go and learn it. I will study hard for the sake of my jewelry." Song Xianxian really wants to learn for the sake of...
“I support you.”
"Dongfang, Xianxian, what do you think of this set of gold jewelry? It seems to be retro and looks like some ancient court jewelry." Mom liked a set of jewelry.
"It looks very beautiful, from the hairpin to the earrings. If you like it, buy it. It seems to be more suitable for young women.
Tang Juan recreated the filigree inlay technique very well. ”Cao Dongfang took a look.
"Yes. What is filigree inlay?"
"A traditional handicraft with a long history, mainly used in the production of royal jewelry.
Filigree inlay combines the two techniques of "filigree" and "inlay" to create exquisite jewelry through fine metal processing and inlaid gemstones.
In the past, these techniques were basically lost. More than a decade ago, when Tang Juan opened a jewelry store, I told her about some of the lost techniques. I didn’t expect that she could successfully make them.” Cao Dongfang replied.
"Our ancestors had very good craftsmanship. This set of jewelry looks different from other jewelry. Let's buy it." Song Xianxian also thought it was beautiful.
"I'll buy it for Yourong. This set of jewelry is suitable for her." Mom wanted to give it to Kuang Yourong.
"Mom, let's buy it."
"You'd better hurry up. It's already three o'clock in the afternoon. The work here will end at six o'clock, or you can come back tomorrow." Cao Dongfang felt that there was not much time left.
"It's already three o'clock in the afternoon, let's move faster."
She told him to walk faster, but after only walking four or five meters faster she started looking at the jewelry one by one.
Cao Dongfang had no choice but to act as a bodyguard, quietly "pushing aside" the people in front to let the two of them go to "evaluate".
I bought four sets of gold jewelry and two sets of gold toys for children. At six o'clock, the security guards in the venue began to clear the venue.
My mother and Song Xianxian looked at the jewelry on the counter that was less than 1 meters long. They didn't even finish looking at Tang Juan's jewelry, which was less than 8/ of the display area.
If you like, come back later.
"It's already six o'clock. I came here at about nine o'clock and have been here for more than six hours. I will come again on February 3rd."
"Let's go back. It's been a day. I'm a little hungry. Let's go back and eat."
“I’m hungry too.”
.......
Cao Dongfang returned home quickly with his mother and Song Xianxian. They were waiting for them but had not eaten yet.
"Dongfang took out the snacks he bought and asked everyone to taste them before eating to see if they were to their taste.
Jiajia, this is the jewelry I bought for you. This is Yourong's jewelry. You can all take a look. There are many commodities at the trade fair in the city. You can also go and have a look. "Mom said.
“It’s only the second day now, there will be a lot of people, we’ll go in a few days.
Mom, thank you for your jewelry, it’s so beautiful, I like it. “Cao Jiajia complained about the large number of people.
"You should go with us today. There are many people at the venue, and your brother's presence won't affect us." Cao's mother said with a smile.
"Thank you, grandma. I like this set of jewelry. I don't think I have seen this style before." Kuang Yourong was also shopping in the mall.
"Your father said it was an ancient lost craft that was just researched by Tang Juan. Just like it." Mom said with a smile.
"It's a lost craft. No wonder I've never seen it before."
"It's my brother who helped you guys again. Mom, this donkey roll is still delicious. Let's try the Beijing Eight Pieces later. I haven't eaten it for a few years. I don't know what it tastes like now."
"Aunt, it tastes almost the same as before." Yangyang was trying one of the Eight Peking Dish.
"It's made in a century-old shop, so the taste won't change in a few years. That's why few people eat it. When I was a kid, your mom loved eating Beijing Eight Pieces.
When your grandma bought it back, your third uncle kept fighting with me for it and asked me to eat less. It was not easy to buy at that time.
Why isn’t Duoduo here? Where is this girl going to play?
Now I feel that the taste is still the same as before, and the 'jujube flower cake' in Huguo Temple is also very delicious." Song Xianxian remembers a lot of things, especially those related to Song Qianguo.
"Duoduo went to see her grandmother and won't be back for dinner tonight." Cao Jiajia replied.
"That's pretty much it."
