That morning, Liu Ye walked into Langri and saw Tang Ting sitting on the sofa.
The eldest lady was unaware of her arrival and was concentrating on reading the newspaper.
Liu Ye greeted her, but Tang Ting didn't hear her at all.
"What are you looking at? Are you looking so fascinated?"
Liuye approached Tang Ting, stuck his head out behind her, and looked at the page of the newspaper she was reading.
"Oh! You scared me."
Tang Ting was fascinated by what she saw, and Liu Ye suddenly appeared next to her, startling her.
"Uh~~ I just called you several times, but you didn't say anything. I had to come and see what it is that attracts you so much."
Liu Ye shrugged helplessly.
"Look, this is what I'm looking at!"
Tang Ting stretched out her white and tender fingers and pointed at a picture in the newspaper.
In the picture, it is a string of pearl necklace.
The collar is nothing special, just an ordinary circle of pearls.
The pendant in the middle is a drop-shaped pearl.
"The Hong Kong auction house sold a pearl necklace at a sky-high price, and an unknown wealthy businessman bought it for US$800,000..."
After Liu Ye saw the picture, his eyes immediately scanned the bold title on the newspaper page.
"What? This pearl necklace actually sold for a high price of 800,000 US dollars... Tsk, tsk, tsk~~ People in Hong Kong are really rich."
Liu Ye sighed with the mentality of a melon-eater.
Now in the mid-to-late 1980s, one U.S. dollar can be exchanged for almost three RMB.
800,000 U.S. dollars, converted into RMB, is 2.4 million.
In this era where a household worth ten thousand yuan is respected by everyone.
2.4 million is nothing short of an astronomical number.
And a certain rich man in Hong Kong City actually used such a huge sum of money to buy only a string of pearl necklaces.
"It's really surprising to pay 800,000 US dollars for a pearl necklace."
Even Tang Ting, the daughter of a wealthy family, thinks the price is a bit high.
According to the strength of the Tang family, it is certainly possible to take pictures of such accessories easily.
However, the Tang family has always been low-key and reserved, and it is almost impossible for them to do such a thing.
"Alas! Didn't your family also stay in Hong Kong City for so many years? Do you know who was so generous as to buy this necklace?"
Liu Ye suddenly became interested and gossiped to Tang Ting.
The top wealthy circles should all have their own inside information!
Even if it was taken anonymously, a wealthy person familiar with it should be able to guess who bought it.
Sure enough, Tang Ting nodded as expected.
"Indeed, I can probably guess who it is..."
This kind of spending money is probably the young master of the Li family...
"Do you really know? Tell me, who is it?"
Willow Ye asked curiously.
"I can't tell you who he is specifically. I can only tell you that his surname is Li."
The rich circle also has its own set of social rules. People buy anonymously, obviously not wanting to reveal their identities.
Naturally, Tang Ting couldn't tell anyone.
What's more, she was just guessing, even though she was pretty close to it.
"The one from Hong Kong City...surnamed Li..."
Liuye scratched his head and guessed hard.
Who on earth is it?
"Let me tell you something more, the Li family's real estate business is doing well."
Seeing that Liu Ye was struggling to guess, Tang Ting kindly gave a few more hints.
"Real estate...could it be the Li family?"
There is a rich man named Li who works in real estate in Hong Kong City. After connecting a few keywords, Liu Ye immediately guessed the Li family.
In the parallel time and space she lived in in her previous life, the Li family had been standing firm for decades, firmly standing at the head of the four major families in Hong Kong City.
Moreover, the head of the Li family has been the richest man for many years in a row.
"The evil capitalism..."
Thinking of others waving their hands and spending 800,000 US dollars to buy a pearl necklace, while she was still working hard as a laborer, Liu Ye couldn't help but feel sour.
At the same time, he thought in his mind: The Li family bought it, so there is nothing surprising about it.
"Haha~~According to you, isn't my family also an evil form of capitalism?"
Tang Ting was amused by Liu Ye's words.
"Your family is different. Although your family is rich, it is very low-key. Moreover, your father returned to Shanghai from Hong Kong City and donated so many projects to the country. Even the leaders of China thanked your family for their efforts.
!”
Speaking of the Tang family, it is also a legend.
Especially Tang Qiqing, the head of the Tang family.
This world shipping king is highly praised for his simple life style and low-key personality.
Among them, his patriotism is particularly admirable.
In order to better help the construction of the motherland, Tang Qiqing resolutely left the port city with the Tang family and returned to his hometown of Shencheng, sparing no effort to assist the development of Shencheng.
Such a rich man, even leading comrades are treated as guests.
"For a high-profile family like the Li family, something will happen sooner or later..."
Liu Ye curled her lips to show her disdain for the Li family.
Of course, this does not mean that she has a sour grape mentality, nor does it mean that she can predict the future.
But in the past life, something big happened to the Li family, the richest man in Hong Kong City.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Are you also interested in this necklace?"
The affairs of the rich family have nothing to do with me.
After the gossip, Liu Ye began to ask Tang Ting why she paid attention to this edition of the newspaper.
Tang Ting is a person who only does things that interest her. The fact that she is so fascinated by it can only mean that she is interested in this pearl necklace.
"You really know me, I'm really interested."
Tang Ting admitted with a smile.
"Are you going to buy this pearl necklace from the Li family?"
As a person like Tang Ting, once she is interested in something, she will work hard to do it.
She likes this pearl necklace. Should she buy it from the Li family?
"Buy? No, no, no...I won't foolishly spend eight hundred thousand dollars to buy a pearl necklace!"
Tang Ting was very surprised by Liu Ye's idea.
Doesn’t she look a lot like the one who was taken advantage of by the Li family?
This pearl necklace is very beautiful, but she is not crazy enough to spend 800,000 yuan to buy it.
Tang Qiqing's education for his daughters has always been frugal and simple.
She can't do such a waste of money.
"Ah? Then what do you want to do?"
If you don’t want to buy it back, why are you paying so much attention to it?
"Oops! Aren't you usually quite smart? Why is your son suddenly losing his mind now?"
Tang Ting said jokingly.
After being stabbed by Tang Ting, Liu Ye paused for a moment and touched his nose unnaturally.
She had just been thinking about the identity of Tang Ting's daughter, just thinking about her being rich and willful.
Feel free to buy whatever interests her.
Little did he expect that Tang Ting had other plans.
Suddenly, Liu Ye looked up and looked at the glass counter displaying jewelry in the shop.
Suddenly something clicked in my mind, and I figured out what Tang Ting was going to do.
It turns out that Tang Ting did not want the pearl necklace in the newspaper.
