America’s Treasure King
Chapter 32: under family reunion
"Cough cough" Li Xiaoshuai coughed twice and said, "Jili, can you let Auntie see it first, I have to wait for her appraisal result."
It was only then that Ji Li remembered that there was another person who wanted to check it out, and he was the old mage.
Li Xiaoshuai's mother-in-law was watching carefully, Ji Li began to show off again, and asked Elaine, do you know the origin of Patek Philippe?
In order not to be in the cold, Li Xiaoshuai pretended to be confused, and motioned Ji Li to tell everyone.
Of course, Sean agreed.
Ji Li said that Patek Philippe is actually two names, that is, the two founders of the company, Mr. Patek and Mr. Philippe.
Mr. Patek opened the Patek Watch Company in 1839. Mr. Patek met Philippe at an exhibition in Paris in 1844. At that time, Mr. Philippe was able to design a watch that was very thin and did not need to be wound with a key.
Patek was very interested in this, and invited Mr. Philippe to join the company, which is the Patek Philippe company whose name has always been famous until now.
After Ji Li finished speaking, Lisa said: "This is the one from the 1851 London World's Fair. This pocket watch was sold in our shop a few years ago for $2.2 million, not Li's estimate. $2 million.”
"Wow, 2.2 million, that's a huge sum of money, Li, you've made a fortune!" Ji Li was envious.
Lisa handed the pocket watch to Li Xiaoshuai, and suggested that he keep it as a family heirloom to pass down from generation to generation. The longer this extremely rare pocket watch is; the more valuable it is.
Li Xiaoshuai: "Thank you, I will keep it."
Lisa said apologetically, I think you are doing a good job as a treasure collector. You picked up a diamond ring a few days ago and sold it for $8,000. Now you have picked up a precious pocket watch worth more than 2 million. Look Coming this way is for you.
"Wow, it's so powerful, isn't it about to make a fortune?" Ji Li exclaimed again in surprise.
Originally, Li Xiaoshuai wanted to talk about cherishing silver coins and amber, but looking at the current situation, he didn't want to talk about it. He turned around and took out the two Cuban cigars he had picked up from the paper bag and said, "Teacher, this is for you."
In the end, it was snatched away by Ji Li, who was quick-witted and quick-witted, and she shouted again: "Wow, Monte brand, high-end goods, each cost $25."
Sean also said with a smile that he had a good time today. He also took one from the humidor and sniffed it under his nose. "Yes, the taste of top cigars."
Although the cigar has not yet arrived, Hunter is very satisfied, and he already has the disposable lighter made by Rabbit in his hand.
In fact, smoking a cigar requires a special tool, but now including Henry and his son, and Li Xiaoshuai are not die-hard fans of cigars, they just picked it up and tasted it together.
Seeing that her husband was about to light a cigarette, Lisa knocked on the table: "Pay attention to environmental pollution, and smoke outside."
"Okay." Mr. Henry is a good husband. He obediently picked up a chair and walked outside. The two young men naturally followed him out.
Fortunately, the weather tonight is very good, the moon is bright and the stars are thin, and the breeze is breezy. Li Xiaoshuai feels that it is also a good enjoyment to sit outside and smoke a cigar after tasting the food.
The three gentlemen were breathing clouds and mist outside, enjoying themselves at ease.
After a while, the two beauties also came out with fruit trays, and Ji Li just served her boyfriend and put grapes one by one into Sean's mouth.
And Elaine not only wanted to serve her boyfriend, but she didn't forget her father. If she gave her boyfriend a grape, she would also give the old man another one. She smiled at the old Henry's serving, and said that this is the happiness of the family.
Ji Li suddenly said, "Li, you can actually propose to Elaine with this pocket watch."
"Jili, how can you propose marriage with a pocket watch, and besides, our family is not a snob?" Sean was slightly unhappy.
Li Xiaoshuai said with a smile, this watch is too old-fashioned and not suitable for marriage proposals. Besides, we are still young and have to work hard to make money and lay a solid material foundation for a new life in the future.
He held his girlfriend's hand again and said, "Eileen is my favorite, there is no doubt that I must marry her as a wife. You also know that I am studying jewelry design, and the ring I will propose in the future will definitely be I made it myself; a one-of-a-kind treasure."
Elaine was so excited that she was about to cry. She picked up her boyfriend's hand and kissed it several times. She choked and said, "I have absolute trust in you. I will wait until that day comes!"
Li Xiaoshuai: "Your boyfriend's luck has already begun, and this day will not be far away."
At this time, Lisa just came out of the room with coffee, "I also believe this. You started from your first love, and you have been dating until now, and it has stood the test. I have more confidence in Li's character. Like his mother, he is an upright person."
Henry took a cigar and said, young man, don't get married so early, let's enjoy life first. Look at tonight, what a beautiful day the family talks and laughs together.
Since it was a small talk, Li Xiaoshuai told him about his mother, and told everyone about the preparations for marriage in the hometown of Tuguo.
Said: In Rabbit Country, a young man wants to get married~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He must prepare a decorated and fully furnished wedding room, and also prepare for the expenses of the wedding banquet, in addition to prepare a set for the bride Gold jewelry.
Does Elaine say it's so extravagant?
"It's a must, that's what my mom thinks, and she's doing it too, all of this you'll see in the future, it's not bad!"
Ji Li said that she is very happy to be the daughter-in-law of the Rabbit Country, and everything is ready at home.
Li Xiaoshuai pinched the tip of Elaine's nose, "But you have to give birth to a son for our Li family, or my mother will be angry."
"What era is this, and there is still this kind of thinking" Henry said to his daughter with a smile. If you have more children, you will always be able to give birth to a boy.
After chatting for a while, it was already the middle of the month, Sean and Ji Li got up and said goodbye, saying that they were going back to Manhattan.
His mother also asked, tomorrow is not a weekend, why can't I live at home?
Sean replied that the company would have an analysis meeting tomorrow and could not leave.
The old couple sent their son away in disappointment.
At this time, Li Xiaoshuai took out the amber that had been hidden in his pocket for a long time, and let his mother-in-law show it, whether it was worth ten thousand dollars.
Lisa turned on the light again, the magnifying glass, and then again for Mr. Henry, who taught biology. "Yes, it must be worth 10,000 yuan! How to sell it to our store?"
Li Xiaoshuai said no problem, please bring this piece of amber to the store on Monday, and the money will still go to the account when the diamond ring was sold.
After the incident, Li Xiaoshuai left with the daughter of Morris's family, and Lisa sighed: "We're all gone, the two of us are left in the family, it's strange."
"It's nothing, it just so happens that the two of us are living in the two-person world." After saying that, Henry grinned and glared at his wife. . . . . .
