Hong Yanwu is a hands-on person who will take action immediately when he thinks of something.

On April 20, the third Sunday after he and Shui Qing started dating, he took the couple to the Summer Palace again.

When they finished walking around the "Promenade", they sat together on the seats in front of the "Yulantang Hall" to rest and looked at the Seventeen-hole Bridge in the distance.

Hong Yanwu suddenly discovered that there were not many tourists coming and going, and Xiaoying ran to the flower garden to catch butterflies. The timing and environment were perfect.

So we were surrounded by beautiful lakes and mountains, and in the warm spring breeze.

He took out a specially prepared small red brocade box from his pocket, held it in his palm, and brought it to Shui Qing's eyes.

"What is it?"

Shui Qing was confused by the sudden situation and asked in confusion.

But Hong Yanwu knew that this was definitely not an act.

Because Shui Qing has never seen a piece of real jewelry, and has never visited a gold jewelry store in a bank like other fashionable girls.

I really don’t know what’s inside, nor do I realize what this situation means.

He just blinked in a mysterious manner.

"This is for you. Just open it and take a look. Here is what I want to say to you."

In this way, under his repeated urging, Shui Qing opened the box looking unfamiliar.

As a result, a giant pink diamond no less than the size of a pigeon egg shone brightly, instantly illuminating her face and eyes.

This diamond ring is one of the fine products collected by Hong Yanwu in the state-owned jewelry company.

Although its origin and history are unknown, the most important thing is that the diamond ring is large enough, weighing 20 carats.

To put it bluntly, this thing is placed in a box in an inlaid manner. Except for a few small bites around the diamond, the crystal clear diamond body is everywhere, and it is impossible to tell that it is a ring.

It wasn't until Hong Yanwu took it out himself and put it on Shui Qing's hand that she truly realized what it was.

It goes without saying that what Hong Yanwu wanted to "say" to her couldn't be more clear.

You can also imagine how Shuiqing will feel.

A woman suddenly owns her first piece of jewelry, and it is a gift from her lover, which has the most special and important meaning.

It was enough to make her fall into an unbelievable surprise and uncontrollable excitement.

Also, despite the fact that this is already a vulgar scene today, the reason why it is "vulgar" is because it works for girls.

What's more, this style has not become popular in China these days. As the first person to try it, this is called "romantic".

No woman can remain calm in this situation.

Shui Qing is no exception. Her reaction to this situation is almost exactly the same as that of other women.

My eyes were staring at the ring on my hand, and I couldn't bear to look away. I was so happy that I was speechless.

At this time, she is of course the most gentle and obedient.

So in such a public place, she allowed Hong Yanwu to hold her hand and wrap his arms around her waist for the first time.

"Now that you've put it on, you can't regret it. From now on, our hands can only be held together, and we can't even separate them during electric welding."

Hong Yanwu declared his power in exaggerated words, which meant the establishment of a lifelong contract.

How could Shui Qing not understand what this meant?

Although Hong Yanwu's tone was a bit domineering, even though they had been in a relationship for only twenty days.

But she is already a twenty-nine-year-old girl. This kind of "dominance" and this "quick" approach are actually considerate.

She immediately lowered her head shyly and responded.

With this sound, the lives of the two people have officially become the same thing.

In addition to being happy, Shui Qing also felt that the ring on his hand was expensive the more he looked at it.

Although she couldn't figure out the true value of this piece of jewelry, good things are good things.

How can this kind of top-level jewelry, which is rare in the world and can be handed down from generation to generation, be as bright and dazzling as ordinary jewelry?

With such close contact, everyone can feel its extraordinary charm and hidden value.

So, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"Xiao Wu, is this thing too expensive? How much did it cost you? Or do you use what you have at home...?"

"I bought it. But don't ask how much it cost, just ask if you like it?"

"Of course I like it. But...it must be very expensive, I know. In fact, the most important thing between us is sincerity. You really don't need to buy me such a thing, or...or just return it..."

"You, stop pushing it away. This is the engagement ring I gave you. Marry a man, wear clothes and eat. Do you have any concerns about spending my money? Besides, if we really return it, we will On the contrary, it’s a big loss because such a good thing is hard to come by. It’s a treasure that can be passed down from generation to generation. I dare say that in 20 years, it will be hundreds of dollars higher than the price I paid for it today. A thousand times, do you believe it?"

Hong Yanwu’s last words were far beyond people’s current understanding and seemed too shocking, causing an uproar in Shuiqing.

"Liar? How could it be so much higher?"

"I know you don't believe it, but that's how I get my money."

Hong Yanwu's attitude was still firm. He knew that Shui Qing was inevitably curious about his financial resources, and even a little worried. He simply explained this.

No need to ask, the most convenient excuse must be the "stamp legend" that confused his family.

No mention of movie tickets or anything like that.

But even this was enough to surprise Shui Qing.

After listening to Hong Yanwu's story, she felt as if she was in a dream.

"...That's it, you just sent it out? Just rely on these small stamps?"

"It's probably like this. You can do the math yourself. At first, a monkey ticket cost eight cents, but now the market price is between thirty-five and forty yuan. How many times is this? I have a total of four thousand in my hand. Zhang, how much is this? This is reality, what happened."

Shui Qing couldn't restrain his excitement and shouted out the number in his heart.

“Four thousand, that’s 140,000 to 160,000!”

To be honest, good students have quick minds, but they still cause misunderstandings.

Because Hong Yanwu forgot to explain that the four thousand stamps were full-page stamps, so the value of the stamps suddenly shrank to one percent.

But that’s okay, because Shui Qingmingming was already frightened.

There was no need for Hong Yanwu to explain anything and add unreasonable pressure to her.

On the other hand, it is easier for her to accept everything.

So he said in a serious manner, "The price you estimated is only theoretical and cannot be taken seriously. Because these stamps do not belong to me alone, they are half of Izumi's. Moreover, these stamps are easier to sell at once if you want to cash them in. Difficult. If you really sell it all at once, you won’t be able to sell it for so much money.”

Seeing Shui Qing's face become more relaxed, he continued to find some new content.

"Of course, I didn't just rely on stamps. No, once the stamp collecting craze started, stamp prices went up as a whole, so I never touched stamps again. Instead, I bought some new things, such as your ring. , as well as other jewelry, stone calligraphy and painting, jade ornaments, etc. These are now much more expensive than when I bought them.”

"In addition, I also help self-employed people in Xidan Clothing Night Market to contact Huacheng for goods. Now I am still helping my cousin set up a factory in his village. I also take some time to manage the external sales of tourist products and earn some money. Legal remuneration for labor. In general, my property is still more than you estimated. I can't calculate the exact amount, but what is certain is that my income is legal, and neither of us will do so in this life. Short of money."

Indeed, even according to Shui Qing's thinking, what is the concept of this wealth?

With her salary, she can save about 400 yuan a year. This is the maximum limit. It takes a hundred years to save 40,000 yuan.

If it’s 160,000 yuan, that’s a lifetime’s worth of wealth for four people. Whoever has that much money is not short of money.

Not to mention, according to Hong Yanwu, the things he bought are still continuing to appreciate in value.

"But...is it so easy?"

Shui Qing is still confused.

So Hong Yanwu gave further explanation.

"It sounds easy, but it is also difficult to achieve. For example, why didn't people buy monkey tickets when they were eight cents? At that time, the post office couldn't sell them even if they wanted to, and they were completely unsaleable. And some people buy it and put it on the letter directly, without waiting for the subsequent price increase. Even if they do, some people will regret it if they sell it now, because of these stamps and other stamps. Everything is the same, if you don’t sell it, it will continue to rise.”

After saying this, Shui Qing blushed.

"I...I just wanted to ask you. I'm talking about these stamps, but I have to find a way to sell them as soon as possible. Aren't you afraid of the price falling? Why are you so sure it will keep going up? ”

"This is the essence of the problem. I don't blindly hit luck, but rely on vision, knowledge, patience and confidence to make money. Let me tell you, I understand the principle of rare things being valuable, and I understand what things are easy for people to Generating additional value imagination. I also know that history will turn around. The more chaotic the society, the less valuable some things will be. The more stable the society, the more valuable some things will be. And I have the patience to wait for these good things for ten or twenty years. Things, from the cabbage price caused by social unrest, have gradually returned to their expensive value. I am more confident and not confused by the temporary price rise and fall. This is the real reason why I can make money from them. , let alone not having this awareness, even if they understand this principle and have this vision and knowledge, it will still be difficult if they don’t have my patience and confidence.”

"I'm sorry." Shui Qing suddenly said something carelessly.

But Hong Yanwu understood her meaning instantly. Her problem was that she was too strict with herself.

This is her apology for the word "easy" she just said, and she is also expressing her admiration.
