Siheyuan, I became a commercial tycoon in the culinary world

Chapter 204: Fishing for Antiques in Qiantang River

The exquisite presentation and tempting aroma make people salivate at the sight.

The gourmets picked up their chopsticks and tasted each dish carefully, with pleasant surprises on their faces and nodding their heads in praise.

"The Tan family cuisine is indeed worthy of its reputation. It has a mellow taste and is delicious. It is truly a delicacy on earth!" exclaimed a gourmet.

Ordinary diners were also conquered by the deliciousness of Tan’s cuisine. They ate with gusto and exclaimed in admiration from time to time.

"This is the most delicious dish I have ever eaten. I will definitely come here to eat often in the future," said a citizen.

Amid the cheerful music, the guests enjoyed the food and exchanged their feelings with each other. Heji Restaurant was filled with laughter and was very lively.

On the opening day, He Ji Restaurant achieved huge success.

Its reputation quickly spread throughout Hong Kong and became a hot topic among people. He Yuzhu, Shen Jihuan and He Daqing looked at the lively scene in the restaurant, their hearts filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment.

They know this is just the beginning.

In the days to come, they will continue to work hard to make He Ji Restaurant one of the most distinctive restaurants in Hong Kong, and let Tan’s cuisine shine even more brilliantly on this land.

As Ho Kee Restaurant gained popularity in Hong Kong, Ann Hui’s illness gradually improved.

He Xiangyang and He Hongmei, brother and sister, also graduated and took over the He's Restaurant in Jingzhou. When they learned about their mother's illness, they were shocked and at a loss.

We were all very moved when we learned how deep our father's love for our mother was.

Life seemed to be going back to normal.

He Yuzhu rose to prominence in Hong Kong with He Jiyulou, and also bought a luxurious house. He had been idle for too long.

He suddenly thought of the Qiantang River in his space. Since he had sold most of the deaf old lady's antiques over the years, why not go to the Qiantang River to fish some more.

It is now exactly 83. He may remember that when the world entered the 80s, there was an energy crisis. In addition, the Sino-British negotiations had an impact on the future of Hong Kong. British companies withdrew their investments, Hong Kong's wealthy people immigrated, and Hong Kong experienced an economic crisis.

Li Ka-shing, the richest man in real estate in later generations, learned the news in advance and sold land at high prices to cash in before the crisis occurred.

When the Hong Kong economic crisis occurred in 85, he took the opportunity to buy at the bottom, purchasing land and assets at low prices, and also acquired the Hong Kong Electric Company.

This successful bottom-fishing laid the foundation for his success in the second half of his life and further consolidated his position in the Hong Kong real estate market.

He Yuzhu thought about it and wondered, why don’t I sell the antiques in the space now, accumulate wealth and go into real estate to share a piece of the pie with Li Ka-shing?

Having made up his mind, He Yuzhu slipped into the space that night.

The river is still the same river, the boat is still the same boat, and even the yard we just entered has not changed.

The crops on the few acres of land in the backyard are still growing wildly, and the land where he raises chickens, ducks, fish, sheep and pigs is still there.

It was these lands and this farm that accompanied him through the most difficult years.

He Yuzhu walked around in the space and walked to the riverside.

As the surface of the river circled closer and closer to him, he knew that his little goldfish was coming.

"Master, are you here to find treasure this time?" said the little goldfish Shuipao. After more than 20 years, the little goldfish is still the same as when he first discovered him.

"Little goldfish, you said that I haven't caught enough treasures in the river. Now it's time to really use them..." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"Master, then come on board and follow me. Just go fishing when I tell you to..." said the little goldfish, shaking his tail.

He Yuzhu got on the boat as he was told. The little goldfish swam slowly, taking the boat towards the deep waters of the river.

The breeze blew on his face, bringing a slight coolness, and He Yuzhu's heart was full of anticipation.

After an unknown amount of time, the little goldfish stopped swimming, and said with bubbles bulging in its water, "Master, let's fish here." He Yuzhu hurriedly picked up the fishing rod, skillfully put on the bait, and threw the hook into the water.

As time went by, He Yuzhu became more and more nervous. Suddenly, the fishing rod moved slightly, and he was delighted, knowing that something had taken the bait.

He carefully reeled in the line, his heart beating faster and faster as the object got closer to the water.

When the fishing rod was retracted, He Yuzhu was stunned.

It was an exquisite porcelain vase with lifelike patterns on it. You could tell at first glance that it was no ordinary item.

"Master, keep fishing, everything in the Qiantang River will be yours..." The little goldfish swam happily beside him, blowing bubbles from its mouth.

With this good start, He Yuzhu's confidence increased greatly. Under the guidance of the little goldfish, he caught many precious antiques one after another.

Some of these antiques are exquisite porcelains from the past five thousand years, while others are calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, and each one is worth a fortune.

Later he caught another thirty gold bricks, each weighing about one pound.

He Yuzhu looked at the boat full of treasures and felt as happy as if he had drunk honey.

He put all these things into the cabinet in the bedroom of the space, then left the space and began to prepare for the sale.

He Yuzhu first took out a painting of "Wang Xizhi Viewing Geese" by the Southern Song Dynasty painter Qian Xuan, and found a professional appraiser to evaluate and authenticate the painting.

The identification result made him overjoyed, this was indeed an authentic work of Qian Xuan.

However, the price of this painting was far beyond his imagination. The appraiser estimated the price to be between 60 and 600 million. He Yuzhu was stunned after hearing this.

This one painting is worth so much money, so how many billions would the things he fished up from the Qiantang River be worth?

So He Yuzhu found Song Bojian, and Shen Jihuan claimed that Old Mrs. Song had left behind a batch of antiques and calligraphy and paintings, and he wanted to put them up for auction.

On this day, He Yuzhu, Song Bojian and Shen Jihuan sat opposite each other.

He Yuzhu spoke first: "Brother Song, Ji Huan, you also know that the real estate market in Hong Kong is still on the verge of starting up, which is a good time for us to develop Zhengjun Real Estate.

We are just short of funds, and the deaf old lady left me a batch of antiques and calligraphy and paintings, which are useless to me, so I might as well sell them and invest in real estate, so I would like to ask you two to help me raise funds for an auction, okay? ..."

When Song Bojian and Shen Jihuan heard that He Yuzhu had antiques and calligraphy and paintings to sell again, they were very happy and nodded in agreement.

Shen Jihuan said, "Brother Zhuzi, the auction of your calligraphy and antiques is of great importance. We really need to plan it carefully."

Song Bojian also nodded repeatedly and responded, "That's right, Zhuzi. First of all, we have to find a reliable auction company. We can't be careless about this."

He Yuzhu frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "I've been thinking about this too. Do you have any recommendations?"
