Over a month later, Su Heyuan called Lu Jiaxin to tell her that the batch of antiques had all been sold, totaling 6.98 million Hong Kong Dollars.
Lu Jiaxin was greatly startled, "That much?"
Antiques from the Mainland sold in Hong Kong would easily see an increase of five to six times in value, with particularly rare pieces fetching twenty times their price. However, Jiaxin had not only kept the treasures and jade for herself but also picked out six other items she liked. Since the payment was calculated based on the price from the Forty-nine City, the quantity was relatively large. After deducting the ones she kept for herself, there were thirty-two items left.
Su Heyuan said with a laugh, "There was a Yongzheng Reign Period famille rose 'prosperity and longevity' large plate that was supposedly used by the emperor, and it sold for one hundred and eighty-eight million. Indeed, it was a huge profit; it's made me consider getting into the antique business."
