Chapter 69: Wine Jug Acquired, Beauty Contest! [Please Read On!]

2 p.m.

"Hey bro, what do you want to sell?"

Dinglu Road Green Fly Recyclable Waste Benefit Point.

A man wearing a green recycling vest came out of the hut and greeted Lin Qingsong warmly.

"I heard there are a lot of old books here, so I thought I'd come and browse around," Lin Qingsong said casually, glancing at the large pile of old books in the cardboard box by the door.

After reviewing the intelligence, he and Xiang Jia rested until noon before leaving the hotel. Since Xiang Jia had to attend a meeting with a client in the afternoon, the two had a quick lunch and then Xiang Jia hurriedly drove away.

Lin Qingsong took a taxi alone and arrived at Dinglu Road.

"Okay, all the books are here. Take your time to look through them. If you find anything you like, just let me know. They're 50 cents a pound."

Perhaps the local residents also frequently come here to shop and exchange items. The man was not disappointed; he casually mentioned the price and then continued with his own business.

Lin Qingsong squatted in front of the cardboard box, pretending to pick out books while looking at his target according to the system's highlighted prompts.

Right next to the cardboard box filled with old books, there were several cabinets and chairs piled up, looking extremely messy.

The silver flask, made in Sheffield, England in 1912, was simply placed on a cabinet.

Lin Qingsong, hoping to find a bargain, flipped through the old books in his hand for a while, but unfortunately found that there was no bargain to be found at all; they were all pirated novels.

"Boss, why are all your books novels? You don't have any from a much earlier era!"

The man in the vest said speechlessly, "Dude, this is a scrap metal recycling station. It's full of junk that other people sell. It's not an antique shop. Do you expect to find a bargain here like the characters in novels?"

"Alright then." Lin Qingsong shook his head helplessly, then took out a silver wine flask from his back pocket, took a sip, and then said, "Have you ever received anything interesting? We can't go back empty-handed after coming all this way."

"..." The man in the vest shook his head helplessly. "Brother, what interesting things could I possibly have here? Besides old books, it's either cardboard boxes, plastic bottles, or old furniture."

However, after glancing at the wine flask in Lin Qingsong's hand, he suddenly remembered something and added, "You like this thing? I have one here, I don't know if it's made of aluminum or stainless steel, do you want it?"

"show me."

After noticing Lin Qingsong's interest, the man in the vest walked over to the pile of furniture, picked up the wine jug, and said with a speechless expression, "What do you think? If you want it, just give me fifty yuan."

He found this thing yesterday in a pile of waste cardboard that an old woman was selling.

Damn, the kettle is filled with water to weigh it down.

After taking the silver flat wine flask, Lin Qingsong didn't examine it too closely. He just glanced at it and said, "Dude, this new one I have only cost thirty-something yuan. It's made of 304 stainless steel. Your old one is a bit expensive at fifty yuan."

"Twenty-five yuan, if it's really not acceptable, then forget it." The man in the vest didn't want to waste time on this, after all, he was a scrap collector, not a seller.

Lin Qingsong stopped haggling, fearing that if he made a mistake and the other party refused to sell, he would be in a bind.

After sweeping twenty-five, he didn't linger there any longer, and leisurely left with his wine jug.

Once they were out of the street, Lin Qingsong took out the wine flask and examined it carefully.

According to online descriptions, a distinctive feature of the silver flasks produced in Sheffield is that the upper half of the bottle is covered with alligator skin.

However, the wine jug was completely smooth and not covered with any leather.

However, the four silver labels on the bottle allow connoisseurs to immediately recognize its identity.

These include the early crown stamp, the lion stamp, the date lettering, and most importantly, the craftsman's name stamp from the British Goldsmiths' Institute.

Touching the curved bottle and thinking about its price of twenty or thirty thousand, Lin Qingsong couldn't help but grin.

There's a saying in England: "A drunkard chugs from the bottle, a gentleman drinks from a jug." While he doesn't particularly appreciate so-called gentlemanly culture, he certainly enjoys showing off!

As early as the 18th century, before luxury brands like Armani appeared on the streets, this flask was already a status symbol for the nobility.

In modern times, which person who enjoys drinking would refuse this historically significant silver flat wine jug?

To certain groups of people, the sight of him drinking from this wine jug is as captivating as a firefly in the night.

However, before that, we should clean the wine jug thoroughly.

If you want to collect old silver jewelry, it's best not to clean the stains off it.

After all, if the patina on an antique is cleaned off, its value can instantly jump from the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Zhou dynasty.

But I don't really intend to collect it; in fact, I use it every day, so I still need to clean it carefully.

After thinking about it, he took a taxi directly to Gu Wen's place.

Luxury goods often include a lot of silver jewelry, so the owner of a second-hand luxury goods store must have a way of cleaning this wine jug inside and out.

In the car.

Lin Qingsong suddenly saw a message sent to him by someone named Changfei Yacht Club.

"Dude, I've discussed what you mentioned before, and we can handle it! Also, are you sure all the models coming are officially signed with an agency?"

Upon seeing this news, Lin Qingsong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Nima said that people in Sanya have unusual working hours, and he's come to understand it these past few days.

After Xie Zhi added this person, he was missing until midnight.

It's usually only around 1 or 2 pm that I can get in touch with them.

Adding certificates, trophies, and titles has been dragging on for so long.

"They are all 100% legitimate models signed with an agency, and they all flew directly from their hometowns abroad! If you're willing to pay extra, I can even get them to film a promotional vlog for you in your local area!"

After replying, Lin Qingsong found Ruan Keling's WeChat message on his phone: "Keling, how are your preparations going? Did your company agree to let you participate in the competition?"

Since learning that this model named Ruan Keling admired Chinese culture, was determined to develop her career in China, and that her parents were both high-ranking officials in Annam, he obtained her contact information from Qi Nan.

And after learning about the beauty pageant, they contacted her immediately.

It has to be said that Ruan Keling really loves China. Not only did she register for WeChat a long time ago, but she has also become quite fluent in Chinese.

"Brother Lin, the company has agreed to let me participate in the competition, but will they really send me an invitation?"

Lin Qingsong was not surprised by Ruan Keling's words. With her background, how could that agency possibly block her?

Besides, being able to participate in a beauty pageant in China is a trophy for Annamite models.

Their agency will not only not block them, but will definitely try to contact them to see if other models can also participate.

Regardless of whether they win an award or not, they can claim to the outside world that their company's models have participated in international beauty pageants.

It can not only increase the value of models, but also enhance the company's reputation.
