“Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
“I’m going to wake Xiaoxiao up now. Put these two coins away and then quickly contact some local buyers.”
Li Jinwen carefully handed the two Guangxu Yuanbao to Lin Mo. One, which Lin Mo had purchased, was worth over 50,000, and the other, unearthed from the Tube Coins, was worth more than a million. After calming his excited emotions, he opened the bedroom door and walked out.
“Xiaoxiao, when did you get up?”
Li Jinwen’s surprised voice came from outside the door.
“Mom, you guys woke me up. What are you doing so early in the morning?”
Recalling how she had just bitten her husband in her urgency, Li Jinwen scratched her head and then waved her hand, saying, “Such a nosy kid, why do you want to know everything? Hurry up and wash your face, get ready for breakfast!”
“Oh, okay, I got it…” Lin Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, replied with a sense of grievance, and turned to enter the bathroom.
Inside the bedroom.
Lin Mo didn’t rush to choose buyers but picked up his phone to call his father, Lin Changshui.
Beep… Beep beep…
The call was answered quickly.
“Hello, what’s up, son? Calling so early.”
His father’s familiar voice rang in his ear.
Although Lin Mo wasn’t a left-behind child growing up, his parents were often busy with work and rarely spent time with him.
It was precisely for this reason that Lin Mo insisted on keeping his daughter with him and was willing to do the toughest and most exhausting scaffolding work.
Just to have more time to spend with his daughter.
Lin Mo cleared his throat and asked straightforwardly, “I heard last night that the foreman above you ran away and you are trying to find a way to get your wages?”
“Who told you about this?” Lin Changshui’s tone suddenly tensed up.
“Never mind who told me, just tell me if that’s true.”
“Don’t listen to idle talk from outsiders. There is indeed a bit of trouble with the construction payment, but we’ll get it soon.”
“Really?”
“Of course, can I lie to you? The project belongs to Lvkai Group; they are very strong. They won’t owe us this bit of money. Don’t believe the nonsense from others. I’m doing alright. But how about you? Are you in need of money right now? I still have a little saved up here.”
Being a father himself, Lin Mo understood his own dad’s feelings well.
No matter how tough things got, he didn’t want to trouble his children.
“It’s good if you’re alright.”
Lin Mo didn’t challenge Lin Changshui’s pride, knowing he wouldn’t get anything else out of him, and just reminded him, “I’m doing quite well lately and don’t need money. I’ve just earned some, so if you need it, you must tell me.”
“And I’ve heard before, Lvkai Group isn’t simple; they have connections in both the underworld and legitimate businesses, with large conglomerates backing them up. If you run into any trouble, you must come to me for advice. Don’t act recklessly.”
After a few seconds of silence on the other end, Lin Changshui’s voice came through once again, “Act recklessly? I know, I get it. My son has grown up and become sensible. Alright, I won’t keep you, I’ve got something else here, so I’m hanging up now.”
Beep… Beep beep…
The call ended.
“Why did he hang up on me? Now when I don’t mind his rambling, he’s annoyed by me?”
“Sigh…”
Lin Mo sighed and muttered to himself, “I’ll call mom tonight, see if I can find out anything. If that doesn’t work, I’ll have to pay more attention to the information about my dad and see if I can learn something from the Intelligence System.”
At that thought, Lin Mo was reminded of another idea.
Recently, he’d been pondering whether focusing his attention on one person, one matter, or one object would allow him to narrow down the scope of the Intelligence System’s insights. For example, if he didn’t interact with anything else for an entire day but kept an eye on the information about his dad.
Would the ten pieces of intelligence that refreshed all relate to his dad?
This was a direction for exploring the Intelligence System, and Lin Mo decided to find time to test it.
“But the current priority is to sell the Guangxu Tongbao. With a sum of money in hand, even if my dad really runs into any trouble, I’d be able to help him get through it. With money, everything is easier to deal with!”
Coming back to his senses, Lin Mo switched to Li Jinwen’s phone to start looking at buyer information on the forums.
Naturally, the first to be filtered were local buyers from Rakshasa City. It would be convenient for face-to-face transactions and save time waiting.
While sorting through candidates within this scope, Lin Mo quickly noticed a user with the nickname ‘ Rakshasa City Yiyi Auction Co., Ltd.’
The other party did not offer a price but expressed their welcome for him to discuss the matter in detail at their store.
After wandering around the antique market for over a week, Lin Mo’s ears were practically calloused from hearing the words “Yiyi Auction” so much.
Most shopkeepers would add a line when quoting a price, mentioning how similar items had sold for so much at a Yiyi Auction event.
Later, through casual conversation, Lin Mo gradually learned that, besides holding auctions, Yiyi Auction also bought premium goods. As long as the item was top-notch and had no issues, the payment would be made very quickly, and the price was negotiable.
Their reputation in the industry was excellent, with virtually no bad press.
“Yiyi Auction seems like a good option, although I don’t necessarily have to sell to them, but at least I can get an idea of what they think it’s worth.”
Once he made up his mind, Lin Mo yawned, stretched lazily, and got out of bed to wash up.
Afterward, he took great care in choosing his clothes.
Just as clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse,
if you want to sell something for a high price, personal packaging is essential.
If he wore the clothes he normally did when doing physical work, he’d probably be taken for an easy mark!
He needed to dress more shrewdly!
Which outfit should he wear?
Lin Mo searched his wardrobe for quite a while, but apart from various work uniforms, there were only some knockoff clothes bought from Pinduoduo, none of which were presentable.
“Wearing these to the auction house definitely won’t do, I’ll go buy a new suit!”
Having decided, Lin Mo casually dressed, went out for breakfast, and after the three-member family finished their meal, he and Li Jinwen took Lin Xiaoxiao to school.
Lin Mo had originally intended to ride an electric bike, but Li Jinwen, quite firmly and out of character, insisted on taking a taxi.
The reason was simple,
One can suffer hardships, but a Guangxu Yuanbao worth over a million absolutely cannot have any problems.
“Bye-bye, Mom and Dad.”
“Bye, Xiaoxiao.”
After watching their daughter enter the school, Li Jinwen excitedly asked, “Husband, did you find a good buyer?”
Lin Mo nodded.
“Then should we hurry over?”
Lin Mo shook his head and countered, “You’re going to go dressed like that? Shouldn’t you dress up a bit, wear something slightly nicer?”
Li Jinwen thought about it and realized he was right. She should change into a different outfit, especially since they were conducting an antique deal worth over a million. It definitely wouldn’t be appropriate to be looked down on from the outset.
The two were in agreement and hurried to the nearby Wanda Plaza, where each bought an expensive but comfortable outfit.
After leaving the shopping mall, Lin Mo joked, “Wife, just in case, I mean just in case, if our stuff turns out to be fake, or we can’t sell it, the few thousand yuan we spent on clothes will have been wasted.”
For some reason, seeing his wife’s worried look, Lin Mo found it quite amusing.
Perhaps it was a bit of malicious pleasure,
but he just thought that his wife was being incredibly cute being like this.
What he didn’t expect was that Li Jinwen would lift her head proudly and say, “Husband, are you silly? I specifically told the shop assistant that we wanted to buy the display items the model was wearing, which saved us several hundred yuan. And I checked just now, within 7 days we can return them, as long as we don’t get them dirty or cut off the tags.”
Huh?
There was such a tactic?
Lin Mo shook his head helplessly, a bitter smile on his face.
Then he took Li Jinwen’s hand and hopped into a taxi, heading straight to the Yiyi Auction’s North City District store.
Upon seeing the words “auction”, Li Jinwen couldn’t help frowning and asked anxiously, “Auction? Husband, it isn’t one of those scam companies that charge auction fees, is it?”
By now she had mostly come to believe that the Guangxu Yuanbao they had was truly valuable.
But until the cold hard cash was in her account, Li Jinwen remained very uneasy.
Cautious, timid, the mindset of the petty bourgeoisie.
“Don’t worry, they don’t just do auctions, they also purchase prime goods,” reassured Lin Mo as he pulled Li Jinwen’s hand and strode inside. In a lower voice, he added, “If you’re really anxious, and they mention anything about paying a fee, just pull me and run!”
“The police station is right next door, it’s very safe!”
