Fang Yuan was also afraid that this silly fellow, Fugui, would offend him again, so he stuffed the money and tickets into his hand and quickly got up to leave.
However, just as he pushed the cart out of the courtyard, he heard a shout behind him.
"Captain, wait!"
When he turned around, it was Fugui's sister who had chased after him.
Fang Yuan was quite puzzled. He stopped the car and blurted out,"Why did you come out? It's so cold, let's hurry back."
"I…I came to give…to give you something…"
The little girl rushed over and handed over something while panting.
He glanced at it and realized that it was the jade bracelet that had just been returned to its original owner!
"No, what do you mean by taking this out?”
"My…my mother said that today…today's matter is all thanks to you, Captain. If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have gotten this bracelet back and would have to compensate others.
My mother said that no matter what, I have to thank you, Captain. She asked me to give this bracelet to you as a thank-you gift.”
Even though Fang Yuan had never seen Fu Gui's mother from the beginning to the end, just from her actions…she was an admirable person.
Although it was true that without Fang Yuan's help today, they would not be able to get the bracelet back, and Fugui's family would have to pay a hundred yuan.
However, the fact that he was willing to give this thing away was because he knew how to repay kindness. He was much better than many people!
However, Fang Yuan had always adhered to the principle of "if someone respects me, I will respect them back", so the more people were like this, the more he could not accept this thing.
"This thing is too valuable. I can't take it. You should take it back and keep it. Also, help me tell auntie that I appreciate her kindness.”
"But my mother said that you must accept it…If you don't accept it, my mother will be fierce to me when we go back.”
This girl was a little stubborn. Seeing that Fang Yuan was not taking it, she pulled the car, clearly not letting him go!
Alright then…
There was no one else who could force a gift like this!
Fang Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Just as he was about to persuade her again, the system appeared again!
"Pay attention! Pay attention!"
"In an emergency situation, the passive selection time is triggered! Host, please make your choice!"
"If there is no choice within 60 seconds, the system will automatically make a choice for you (random)!”
[Option 1: Leave by force and ignore the gratitude of the Zhang Clan!] Reward: 100 yuan in cash and 1 jin of free food!
[Option 2: Accept Zhang Clan's kindness!] Reward: 100 yuan in cash and 1 jin of free food!
Option 3: Accept it gladly and give it back! Reward: 1000 cash, 10 pounds of free food, system treasure chest x1!
……
Glancing at the mission options, Fang Yuan immediately knew what to do.
"Alright, since you've said so, I'll accept this. However, since I accepted this gift, I still have to return the favor.”
Fang Yuan said as he took the bracelet, but in the blink of an eye, he reached out his hand to Zhang Anning.
"Don't just stand there. Give me your hand.”
The little girl was a little stunned, clearly not reacting to what Fang Yuan was doing.
However, after a moment of confusion, she still carefully stretched out her hand.
Fang Yuan did not think too much about it. He held her cold little hand and put the jade bracelet on the little girl's wrist.
"I'll take the thing. But as a thank you gift, I'll give it to you again. Is that okay?
If auntie is still angry at you, just say that it's my new year gift to you.
After all, it's almost the end of the year. As the elder brother, it's not too much for me to give my sister a bracelet as a new year gift, right?”
This set of words made the little girl even more confused.
Seeing this, Fang Yuan rubbed this girl's head and smiled."Anyway, don't just stand there. Hurry up and go back. It's too cold outside. It won't be good if you catch a cold. Also, it's getting late, so I have to hurry back.”
After saying this, Fang Yuan did not give this girl a chance. He turned around and rode the car away.
When the little girl woke up, there was no sign of Fang Yuan in the alley.
She looked ahead blankly, then lowered her head to look at her wrist. She didn't know if she was freezing, but she rushed back to the courtyard with a red face.
……
When Fang Yuan rushed back to the courtyard house, he did not know what time it was at night.
He hurriedly boiled water to wash up and got into bed. Before he could sleep, he opened the two system treasure chests he had obtained tonight.
"Congratulations to the host for opening the system treasure chest x2!”
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1 illusion mask and 1 gold brick.”
Phantom Mask:
The system has produced an item. After wearing it, you can change your appearance at will. At the same time, you can slightly change your height, body shape, voice, and other physiological characteristics (gender cannot be changed).
Gold brick:
The system produced a valuable item weighing 10KG.
……
The illusionary mask was obviously something good!
It could change one's appearance, height, weight, voice, and so on. It was a perfect disguise!
The most important thing was that this thing was different from spells and trust potions. The latter were one-time consumables, but this thing could be used forever!
As for the gold bricks…
At first, Fang Yuan thought that it was some kind of prop, but it turned out to be the golden brick as the name suggested...
So this was for him to use to slap people?
Alright, just kidding.
It was a waste to bid for gold bricks. To put it bluntly, it was used to exchange for money.
Although there was no place to spend money in this era, it would be different in the future!
Not to mention the 20s, even after the domestic reform and opening up, it could be exchanged for a huge sum of money!
Especially when Fang Yuan had bought gold jewelry for his mother as a birthday present before he transmigrated. During that time, out of curiosity, he had even checked the fluctuation of gold prices over the past few decades.
In the second year of the reform and opening up, in 1980, the price of gold soared to a maximum of 850 dollars per ounce!
Even if it was calculated at 800 dollars per ounce, it would be 25.72 dollars per gram!
If this 10kg gold bar was calculated at this price, including the messy procedures, it could probably be converted into 250,000 dollars.
In 1980, the exchange rate of rice yuan was not high. It was around 1:1.5. If it was converted to RMB, it would be 375,000 yuan!
370,000 yuan in 1980? What kind of concept was that?!
Take housing prices as an example.
In 1989, there was a newspaper that reported on the soaring housing prices. Due to the soaring housing prices, more than 11000 commercial houses were sold in the housing market in Shanghai in 1989. However, because the prices were too high, the transaction volume was less than 1/10.
Moreover, the report clearly pointed out that the highest house price in Shanghai back then was only 2300 yuan per square meter!
At the same time, the report also mentioned that the property prices in City 49 were only between 1,500 and 1,900!
This was the result of the skyrocketing property prices back then!
In fact, if the price was pushed up to the first batch of commercial houses that had just been sold, it was estimated that the price would be even cheaper. It would definitely not be a problem to buy one square meter for 1,000 yuan.
If that was the case, 370,000 yuan for 300 square meters was not difficult! And the location definitely wouldn't be too bad!
After all, if he remembered correctly, the first batch of commercial housing in City 49 should be near Fangzhuang and the Asian Games Village. These two locations were already good enough!
In the 1920s, the second-hand price of Fang Zhuang had already reached more than 60,000 yuan per square meter!
300 square meters, that would be almost 20 million!
In that case, the 370,000 yuan in 1989 should not be a problem to turn into 20 million yuan in the future by buying a house!
