Wake up suddenly, back to the time when my wife and daughter had an accident

Chapter 396

Hou Bingde's face turned slightly red after what Hou Bingcheng said. This was a great shame for him.

But now that things have come to this, he has no chance to save his face even if he wants to. In the end, he can only bite the bullet and confess everything.

"Look, Meng Haisheng didn't even show up from the beginning to the end, and he didn't force you to buy a TV."

"Before buying a TV, if you could have carefully investigated the market, you wouldn't have fallen into such a big trap."

"And Hou Yaxin, your illegitimate son is not presentable. He was not good at doing things before. You still keep him around. Are you stupid?"

"If I hadn't let Yaxin's mother down, she wouldn't have died so early. I just feel guilty, so I keep supporting Yaxin."

Hou Bingcheng sneered.

"You have many ways to compensate Hou Yaxin, but you can't sacrifice our entire Hou family."

The slightly hot teacup in Hou Bingcheng's hand fell on the tea table with a bang, which scared Hou Bingde.

Maybe Hou Bingde dared to put on airs outside, but in front of Hou Bingcheng, Hou Bingde was just a well-behaved kitten.

Because he knew that if he damaged the interests of the Hou family, his elder brother could really kill him.

"Brother, I really have no choice now. If I sell those 8,000 TV sets at a lower price, I will definitely lose money."

"This is your problem. I just want to remind you that the money you owe to the family must be paid to me by the end of October. I don't have time to argue with you here."

"By the way, I have news to tell you. The military wants to purchase a batch of TV sets. You can ask who is in charge of this matter and whether the purchase order can be given to you under reasonable and legal conditions."

"Listen carefully, it is reasonable and legal. Don't use your crooked ways and discredit the Hou family."

"And the matter of the Lin family has nothing to do with our Hou family. If the Lin family wants to deal with you, don't beg me."

Hou Bingcheng stood up and walked out without even looking at Hou Bingde.

If it weren't for his mother being sick and Hou Bingde almost draining his blood to save her, he would have kicked him out of the Hou family long ago.

Over the years, Hou Bingde, who seemed to be in a good position, relied on Hou Bangcheng to help him. If it weren't for Hou Bangcheng, Hou Bingde would have been arrested and shot for the troubles he caused.

After sending Hou Bangcheng away, Hou Bingde sat on the sofa helplessly. It seemed that he could only save himself by cutting his flesh.

The price of color TVs in the entire capital was now set at 450 by Meng Haisheng. Even if he sold it to the military, it would definitely be this price, not a penny higher.

Even if he was very capable, he couldn't stretch his hand so far and raise the price.

But even if he lost money, he had to sell it now. If he didn't sell it, no one knew whether the price of second-hand TVs would drop again.

In the end, Hou Bingde decided to contact him.

The first time he went to the door, Hou Bingde naturally wouldn't go empty-handed. He first sent someone to inquire about the old leader's hobbies. The gift should always touch the heart of the person.

Giving someone who doesn't like it is not enough to make an enemy.

After learning that his old leader liked porcelain, Hou Bingde thought about it and realized that the porcelains in his home were his favorites. He was reluctant to give them away, so he decided to go out and buy one.

But time was tight, and he didn't have time to go to the antique shop to carefully choose, so he simply went to the Friendship Mall to see if there was anything that suited his taste.

There is no coincidence in the world.

Meng Haisheng approved jewelry as a birthday gift for Lin Muching, but he felt that Lin Muching would always have to buy new clothes for his birthday.

So he took advantage of the early morning get out of class to come to the Friendship Mall to stroll around and look at antiques.

This was the first time Meng Haisheng had been shopping on the first floor. He walked for a long time before he finally saw the counter selling antiques.

The counter was not in a conspicuous position, but there were quite a few things on it.

"Comrade, can you show me this jade pendant?"

"Okay, but you have to be careful. Your hands and the jade pendant cannot leave this plate."

The salesperson took out a jade pendant the size of a cigarette box from the counter, put it on a black velvet tray, and put it on the counter.

Meng Haisheng picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. It was made of fine Hetian mutton-fat jade with a soft texture. There were dragons and phoenixes carved on it, which showed that the former owner of the jade pendant was of high status.

Moreover, the hole on the jade pendant was slightly worn, which should be caused by frequent wearing.

These signs show that the jade pendant has a clean origin and is still worth buying.

"Comrade, how much is this jade pendant?"

"This is a mutton-fat white jade pendant from the Qianlong period. We only accept foreign currency here. This jade pendant is 11,000 yuan. No bargaining."

Meng Haisheng's heart moved. Sure enough, antique jades at this time are cheap. Such a good quality ancient jade only costs more than 30,000 yuan. If it is put at 2,000 yuan, it will cost 10,000 yuan.After the year, this price will probably have to add a few more zeros.

It is worry-free to buy antique jade from state-owned stores, and you don't have to worry about encountering fakes.

Meng Haisheng bought the jade pendant immediately.

He looked up and looked into the cabinet, where there was a hairpin inlaid with sea pearls with extremely exquisite workmanship.

"Wife, what do you think of this hairpin?"

Meng Haisheng called Lin Mucheng over and asked her to take a look.

The hairpin is made of pure gold, and a small peony flower is made on it with filigree craftsmanship.

A thumb-sized sea pearl is inlaid in the position of the pistil.

Whether it is the craftsmanship of the hairpin or the pearl, they are all priceless good things.

"You are not going to buy it for me, this is an antique."

Lin Mucheng only took a look at the hairpin and thought that it might be more expensive than the jade pendant.

"What's the matter with antiques? If they are kept in the warehouse and never see the light of day, it will be boring to keep them. I remember that you like to put your hair up with a hairpin in the summer."

Meng Haisheng asked the salesperson to take out the hairpin and have a look.

The hairpin was quite heavy. Meng Haisheng took it and looked at it for a while. The more he looked at it, the more beautiful it became.

"Wife, let's take this hairpin."

Meng Haisheng made the decision directly, but Lin Mucheng felt that it was too extravagant to wear an antique hairpin.

"Comrade, how much is this hairpin?"

"This is a gold hairpin from the palace. The sea pearl on it is very valuable. The price is only 200 yuan cheaper than the mutton-fat white jade."

A gold hairpin costs more than 30,000 yuan. This price is a bit expensive at the moment, but Meng Haisheng felt sorry for his wife. It's a little expensive, so he bought it without frowning.

After looking at the small items in front of the counter, Meng Haisheng turned his attention to the display shelf at the back.

There were some relatively large antiques on it, including small jades, large porcelains, and hanging ancient paintings.

Meng Haisheng scanned the display shelves and was attracted by a rouge-colored bowl made by the imperial court.

He was about to ask the salesperson to take it down for a look, but he heard a burst of anxious footsteps next to him.

"Second Master, look, this is the rouge-colored bowl, which came out of the palace during the Qianlong period."

"It was originally going to be sold to foreigners at a high price. If you like it, you can take it away for 30,000."
