Chapter 593: Pursue Further Studies Overseas (7)
No one could predict what would happen in the future, so Gu Yunshen did not reject her offer completely and took 5000 yuan. He had to protect the family well and wait for Yao Yao to bring her mother back for the family to reunite.
“Five thousand is enough. You can keep the rest. Also, don’t be reluctant to spend those gold. When you’re overseas and need to spend money, don’t be unwilling to spend money. Take good care of yourself.”
Gu Qingyao thought for a while and accepted it.
There were indeed not many areas that the family spent money on and with Brother Beihan around, the Gu family probably would not be short of money even if something really happened.
Although all the valuable family treasures were taken away by her, there were still some which were hidden deeply, and if they were really out of options, they could just use the gold.
Once the New Year holidays were over, Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan took the train to the provincial capital.
However, this time, she did not go straight to the capital but went to Shanghai.
Gu Qingyao was very clear about the expenses required overseas, but she definitely would not be short of money to spend when overseas.
Originally, she had more than 300,000 yuan, which she was saving to use as starting capital when her family thrived in the future. Now that she had the chance to go overseas, there was no need to keep to the plan anymore.
It would be too worthless to spend this money outside the country, and it was still more valuable to spend it in the country.
This time, she was headed for the cultural relic store.
During this era, many cultural relics were exported to earn from the foreign exchange, and one item could be worth from ten to several hundred yuan.
This price was considered very high to the domestic population, but to foreign countries, it was very cheap.
In the past, Gu Qingyao prepared to save a portion of the cash and use the remaining portion to buy these cultural relics and antiques. Now that she would be going overseas, she might as well spend her money.
This amount of money made her wealthy in the country, but it was nothing much when overseas.
She spent more than half a month disguised as all kinds of ident.i.ties to purchase antiques in large quant.i.ties from the cultural relic store and even sought help from others to help her purchase the items.
She bought a total of nearly five thousand pieces of antiques which cost about 300,000 yuan in cash and two boxes of gold.
During this time period, gold was a hard currency, and plenty of people were willing to spend money to buy gold, so Gu Qingyao’s gold was sold rapidly.
Gu Qingyao looked at these antiques with satisfaction. She had seen many of them on auctions before, and adding all of them together, they would definitely be worth several billion in the future!
Looking at the 60,000 yuan left on her hands, Gu Qingyao looked at Mo Beihan. Her wet eyes made it extremely clear: I still want to buy!
Mo Beihan rubbed her head helplessly. “All right, even if you have a lot of money, you will not be able to buy all those antiques. This is already enough. Leave some money to spend when you’re traveling.”
Even if she was capable and had plenty of resources that she would not be short of money to spend overseas, she still had to keep some money on her at the very start!
Gu Qingyao was a little indignant. This was simply an extremely lucrative deal!
Mo Beihan chuckled and persuaded her, “Think about how much money you can earn overseas. When you’re overseas, you’re relatively free and can go to a lot of places, including Hong Kong island. When you earn money overseas, you still can buy a lot of these exported antiques. By then, you won’t be short of money, right? And no one will suspect you even if you buy in bulk unlike here. There’s been quite a stir over the past few days, and if this goes on, people will probably take notice of us.”
