Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 665 Painting

Chen Changan was actually just guessing, after all, he had hunted so many prey.

It is impossible that they didn't get some furs, considering the Forestry Bureau's shortage of vehicles.

Once you see a truck, especially one with off-road capabilities, you will definitely want to get something good to exchange.

Chen Changan was just guessing, he didn't expect Li Huaide to admit it directly.

Fur is really useless to Chen Changan. As the factory manager.

She wears work clothes to work every day. Among her sisters, the eldest sister, Xiuying, also wears work clothes to work every day.

As for wearing it during rest time? It's too high profile for a young person.

The second sister Xiuhua went to military school, and even Chen Changan hadn't seen her for a long time.

Not to mention my third sister Xiujuan, who is still in school. Which child would wear fur to school?

As for giving it to someone, Chen Changan didn't even have a target, so he didn't know who to give such a valuable thing to.

Even if he had a partner, Chen Changan would not allow his partner to wear fur in that era.

"So what do you plan to exchange for it?"

Li Huaide was really a little afraid of Chen Changan. He felt that Chen Changan had some kind of magic.

He could easily see through his inner thoughts. In front of Chen Changan, he couldn't be deceived at all.

This feeling was very familiar, just like what Xu Damao felt that night in his office.

Even if he refused to admit it, I knew Xu Damao definitely kept the gold bars hidden on him.

But for Chen Changan, the roles seemed to be swapped. He became Xu Damao and Chen Changan became himself.

I have never told anyone about the fur matter.

I also collected the furs as soon as possible, as they were needed by my father-in-law.

It's not just my family members who wear it, but also my father-in-law gives it as a gift.

Some female leaders are quite particular about their dress, and being able to please their father-in-law is also the foundation of his father-in-law's survival.

Since the fur cannot be given to Chen Changan, we can only make up for it in other ways.

Even his father-in-law said that Chen Changan must not be offended, so the only thing he could do was to give Chen Changan some antiques.

"I wonder if you know anything about antiques, brother."

Chen Changan's heart moved. It was obvious that everyone coming from later generations would be interested in antiques.

Even if you don't know much about antiques, with the development of information in later generations, you can more or less name a few items that were auctioned for sky-high prices.

Unfortunately, to be honest, Chen Changan is not very interested in antiques.

If you keep these things, you have to wait until at least the reform and opening up before they have the possibility of appreciation in value.

If you want to sell it for a high price, you have to wait decades later, and you will be much older by then.

You can't just spend your days guarding these treasures of yours, right?

Of course, if antiques are free, the more the better. Who wouldn’t want to take advantage of a good deal?

"I haven't done much research. This thing is not something you can eat or drink. It's not as solid as gold."

At least with the gold in hand, you may be able to buy food at the pigeon market or the black market.

That antique wants to buy food? Unless it is a national treasure, it will be difficult to find a suitable buyer.

Li Huaide was speechless after being rebuked by Chen Changan. He didn't know whether this was Chen Changan's true thought or he was deliberately deceiving him.

Anyway, Chen Changan never told the truth in front of him.

Li Huaide felt that the so-called ignorance of antiques was probably false.

Want to dig a hole for yourself and let yourself jump in, right? Today's lesson is profound enough, Li Huaide will not make the same mistake again.

"I have a few paintings by Mr. Qi here. Do you want to hang them in your home to decorate it?"

Chen Changan nodded when he heard this. This thing could also be saved as a family asset.

By the 1990s, these things will be worth some money, but at present, these things are dispensable to Chen Changan.

If we really go back to the 1990s, we won't be able to make money no matter what we do. If we expect to sell antiques, it will really be a shame to the army of time travelers.

"Okay, there are indeed quite a few empty walls at home, it would be nice to hang it up as a decoration.

But Director Li, I still want to advise you. You still need to keep the needs of the troops in mind.

Once the army feels that they earn less than you, they may stop providing these trucks. The fundamental reason why you can make some profits is still because of the army.

If you fail to maintain good relations with the troops, such exchanges will be over sooner or later.

You don't really think that the troops don't know anything about what you got in exchange, do you? "

Looking at Li Huaide standing there in a daze, Chen Changan shook his head.

He is really blinded by money. When it comes not to financial matters, Li Huaide is still a good leader.

But once money is involved, Li Huaide always deliberately ignores some things and always thinks things are too simple.

Chen Changan shook his head. Now that things have come to this, whether Li Huaide will change in the future or not has nothing to do with Chen Changan.

After walking out of the warehouse, Chen Changan lit a cigarette and waited for Li Chenglin to arrive with his large army.

After finishing a cigarette, Li Chenglin had not come yet, but Li Huaide came out first.

"Brother, you are right. In fact, a little bit of supplementary food is enough for me to exchange benefits for the workers.

If you have too many things, it will be too conspicuous. My brother, you and my father-in-law have the same idea on this point.

Anyway, thank you in advance, brother. I will send the paintings to your home tonight as promised."

Chen Changan nodded without comment, and the convoy from the car factory not far away also arrived.

Chen Changan ignored Li Huaide. It was better to stay away from a greedy person like Li Huaide.

Otherwise, you never know when it might really get you into trouble.

"Director, I brought five heavy-duty trucks. Should that be enough?"

“That’s enough. Bring some people and move the pine nuts out of the warehouse.

Go back to the factory and find an empty room to store the pine nuts. When I get back, I’ll think about how to use them.”

After receiving the order, Li Chenglin took a group of people from the security department to move things in without saying a word.

It is said that more people means more work, and the people in the Security Department are all very burly.

They carried hundreds of kilograms of things on their shoulders and walked briskly as if nothing had happened.

It didn't take long to load more than ten tons of pine nuts onto the truck and headed straight back to the car factory.

Chen Changan went to the Second Machine Tool Factory and customized a hydraulic oil press.

The main task of the Second Machine Tool Factory is to produce machine tools for automobile factories and several subordinate machinery factories.

With the establishment of several machinery factories, the machine tool factory's tasks were not heavy. After listening to Chen Changan's request, he promised to work overtime and would complete the task as soon as possible.

When he got home from get off work, Chen Changan saw his two sisters fiddling with some paintings.

"Where did the painting come from?"

The eldest sister Xiuying spoke up.

“When I was leaving get off work, Director Li from the steel mill across the street happened to see me.

He said this was something he promised to give you, and asked me to bring it back to you.

My younger sister was curious when she saw it and insisted on opening it to take a look.”
