Chapter 206 Grinding Goblin(1/2)

When the two salesmen saw that Wang Lin had paid for the money, they came over enthusiastically and asked: "Beautiful girl, which one do you like? I'll wrap it for you?"

Li Wenjuan held ten thousand yuan in her hand, straightened her waist, held the money in one hand, and pointed at the pile of clothes she had tried with the other hand, and said proudly: "All these are—"

The salesperson smiled and said, "Cover them all for you?"

Even if I buy them all, I won’t use 10,000 yuan.

Li Wenjuan laughed: "I'm sorry, I don't want all of these! Don't think I don't understand what you were saying just now? Humph, I have money, but I just don't buy your clothes!"

She turned around and pulled Wang Lin's hand: "Let's go somewhere else to see!"

Wang Lin laughed.

The two salesmen were stunned and looked at each other.

"Brother-in-law, I'm hungry. I'm so tired of trying on clothes!" Li Wenjuan fell softly towards Wang Lin, "I don't have the strength to walk anymore."

Wang Lin had to hold her slim waist and said, "Wenjuan, you're tired just now when you started shopping? Then let's go back to the hotel to rest?"

"How can that work? I finally came out for a while and I still have to have fun?" Li Wenjuan was immediately resurrected with full blood.

Wang Lin smiled and thought to himself that I can’t cure you?

When passing by the high-end supplement sale counter, Wang Lin pulled his hand and pulled Li Wenjuan to the counter.

"Comrade, hello, what do you need to buy?" asked the salesperson at the counter.

“Do you have Nanyang golden silk bird’s nest?”

"Yes, sir. The swallow cups here are all. How many grams do you want?"

"How much does it cost per pound?"

This is the first time a salesperson has encountered someone who bought bird’s nest by pound!

It’s like a rich man running into a gold shop and asking the clerk how much gold is per pound?

The salesperson smiled and said, "Hello, sir, this kind of swallow cup costs 2,500 yuan per kilogram."

In 1975, the wholesale price of bird's nest was US$10, which increased by 40 times in 1995 to US$400. By 2012, it had risen to US$800 per kilogram, and the retail price had risen to US$1,200 per kilogram.

Because of the huge mainland market, the international bird's nest price has been directly pushed up.

Bird's nests are also divided into grades. Due to different grades, there are those with a price difference of more than 80 yuan per gram.

Wang Lin said: "Take me 10,000 yuan!"

The salesperson said, "Ten thousand yuan? That's four kilograms!"

Wang Lin said: "Yes!"

Li Wenjuan was surprised and said, "What is this? It's so expensive? Only eight kilograms are bought for ten thousand yuan?"

The salesperson smiled and said, "This is bird's nest, a supplement. Women can whiten and beautify the skin after eating it. Your husband is so nice to you. Buy such a good bird's nest for you to eat."

Li Wenjuan yelled and understood in her heart that this was what Wang Lin bought for her sister to eat, but she didn't even point it out and laughed.

The salesperson weighed the bird's nest, packed it in a latte box, put it in a bag, and handed it to Wang Lin: "Sir, you can put it in the refrigerator for endless bird's nests to be refrigerated."

"Okay, thank you." Wang Lin paid the money and carried a big bag on both hands.

"Brother-in-law, are you buying it for my sister?" Li Wenjuan asked with a smile.

"What else? Do you think you are given food? Your sister is pregnant, of course she has to give it food. Bird's nest contains a lot of sugars, trace elements and sialic acid, which has the effects of nourishing yin and reducing fire, replenishing the middle and replenishing qi. It can enhance the body's resistance and immunity of the pregnant woman, and it also has certain benefits for the growth and development of the fetus. It can increase the appetite of pregnant women and supplement collagen."

"Can you really make people whiter and beautiful?"

"In theory, that's what it means, who knows? Anyway, it's not harmful to eat it."

"Brother-in-law, I want to eat too."

"I'll talk about it when you're pregnant."

"If I get married and I'm pregnant with someone else's children, would you still buy me bird's nest?"

"You are fresh. If you don't have other people's children, can you still get pregnant with my children? Then you'll just ask your husband to buy you food."

"Hmph, a partial ghost!"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Okay, let you eat a bowl when you go home, okay?"

"This is almost the same!"

The two continued shopping. Li Wenjuan saw a watch she liked and must buy it for her because she didn't have a watch yet.

When Wang Lin saw that the watch was an imported Swiss plum blossom women's watch, the price was not cheap, it was more than 800 yuan!

Plum Blossom Watch is one of the first imported watches to enter the Chinese market. This kind of watch is also sold in Shanghai, so there is no need to go to Guangzhou to buy it.

Seeing him hesitated, Li Wenjuan said, "My sister finished eating four kilograms of bird's nest in just a few strokes. You can buy 10,000 yuan. I can wear a mechanical watch for my whole life. It's another practical item, only 800 yuan, but you can't bear it? You said you treat me equally?"

Wang Lin was not reluctant to let it go, but just felt that things used by a person must match his identity and can be matched with his low-end ones, but try not to match them as high as possible.

In many occasions, watches represent a person's identity and status symbols.

Even if you are wearing a cotton vest, shorts and flip-flops, wearing a sky-high watch on your hand can make people who recognize the identity of the boss.

Even Wang Lin is wearing the same domestic watch now!

Li Wenjuan said: "Big, I won't eat my sister's bird's nest anymore! Buy this watch for me!"

Hearing her aggrieved, Wang Lin couldn't help but smile: "I'm either reluctant to let it go, or I'm afraid that you will cause trouble if you wear this watch."

"What kind of trouble can a watch cause?" Li Wenjuan asked in confusion.

Wang Lin said: "Because watches are exposed objects. As the saying goes, wealth is not revealed. When you wear such an expensive watch, others don't know that you don't have money and think you are very rich! You will find your name and plot against you."

"It's not that exaggerating, right?" Li Wenjuan said, "Just just hide it in my sleeve."

Seeing that she really liked it, Wang Lin put the bird's nest in her hand on the glass counter and paid for it.

"Brother-in-law, it's so good! You are so nice to me! I believe you really love me now!" Li Wenjuan laughed and said, "Come on, put it on."

Wang Lin smiled and shook his head, picked up the watch to help her put it on.

The salesperson asked enthusiastically: "Is the strap long? Do you need to shorten it?"

Li Wenjuan said: "If it is long, it needs to be shortened."

The salesperson took her watch and took her to a counter next to her to repair the watch, where a master sat.

The master took the watch and tried it in Li Wenjuan's hand. He quickly picked up a pair of pointed tweezers, pressed down the protrusion at the joint of the watch, took out the spring shaft of the bracelet, and then looked at the length and used scissors to push the pin on the bracelet obliquely, and the bracelet was shortened.

Li Wenjuan held the watch and asked Wang Lin to help her put it on.

Wang Lin put a watch on her and smiled and said, "The pearls are very good at highlighting your temperament."

"Is it? I have a good attitude, right?" Li Wenjuan looked at the watch on her wrist with love, "I finally have a watch too!"

"Well, the price is also good!" Wang Lin smiled.

"Hey, brother-in-law, there are so many beautiful gold jewelry here! You and my sister are married and have not bought a gold ring yet, right? Do you want to buy one for her?"

Wang Lin was also moved. He married Li Wenxiu. Because the bride price he went there was relatively high, he naturally spared gold, silver and jewelry. Moreover, the lesbians in this era did not pay much attention to this, but they cared more about the practical three-turn and one sound.

However, goldware is a traditional jewelry for marriage. How many goldware a woman wears after marriage means whether she is doing well in her husband's house and also represents the financial strength of her husband's family.

Wang Lin has never considered this. Li Wenxiu has been married for so long and has never bought her any gold jewelry.

Gold in the 1980s was not expensive, but it was not cheap either. It was just a jewelry, and if you wanted to be an investment, it would not be of much value.

Even if I bought 10,000 yuan of gold in 1980, I only made about 110,000 yuan after 39 years. It increased by 11 times in 39 years, and the annualized rate of return was about 6.47%, which can only be said to be neither high nor low.

What if I deposit this 10,000 yuan in the bank? The average yield in these 39 years is similar to buying gold, and I can't beat inflation.

There is a story that everyone may have heard of. A person used to have a courtyard house in Beijin. After selling it for tens of thousands of yuan, he went abroad to work. He worked so hard for decades and earned millions. He wanted to return to Beijin to retire, but the courtyard house was worth over 100 million yuan at the time. From this we can also see that buying gold and depositing money in the bank are not the best way to manage finances.

Wang Lin now doesn’t care whether the investment in a set of gold jewelry can bring benefits.

He was held by Li Wenjuan and came to the gold jewelry counter.

There are not many people shopping in the mall. The salesmen at various counters, when they are free, they watch other counters do business.

Wang Lin and Li Wenjuan, who had just bought eight kilograms of bird's nest and also bought brand-name watches and goldware counters, naturally saw it, so they were particularly enthusiastic about them.

"Sir, are you going to buy goldware for your girlfriend?"

"Buy it for my lover."

"I didn't see that you got married at such a young age."

Wang Lin heard that there was something wrong with her words, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it, so he didn't explain it.

Moreover, Li Wenxiu and Li Wenjuan have similar figures and shapes. It would be more appropriate to buy gold utensils for Li Wenxiu and ask Li Wenjuan to try it on.

Wang Lin picked a set of gold rings, gold necklaces, and gold earrings.

Seeing that he was so generous, the salesperson recommended him to buy another gold bracelet.

The gold bracelet is very heavy, and one thing is comparable to the previous three.

However, Wang Lin liked the style of the gold bracelet very much, so he bought it. After calculating the price, it was not expensive, only more than 5,000 yuan. After all, the gold price is cheap now. In recent years, the gold price has fallen this year, less than 80 yuan per gram, and the combined weight of the four golds is about 70 grams.

Li Wenjuan was not calm when she saw it: "Brother-in-law, have you bought so many goldware for my sister? It's almost done if you buy a ring!"
