In the era of fetal wear, she became the first socialite in Hong Kong
Chapter 66: Although she couldn’t appreciate the “beauty” of the snake head, she bought it for only
Except for the day when she accompanied her father to the oil company, Fu Ziyan had been playing at home by herself for the next few days.
Fu Ziyan: I declined the offer of accompanying my dad to inspect the industry. The wonderful summer vacation should be spent enjoying the fun time.
Perhaps knowing that the owner of the Fu family had recently moved into the villa, the invitation to the birthday party of the neighbor's youngest son was naturally sent over.
Fu Ziyan was quite curious about the birthday parties of wealthy American families. She had attended several birthday parties with her father when she was in Hong Kong, but she was still curious about the differences between the United States and Hong Kong.
Fu Qiyuan let Titi go, but this time he didn't have time to accompany his daughter. He was busy inspecting and managing various businesses, and the sooner he finished, the sooner he could spend time with his daughter.
"That's fine, I'll go by myself. Maybe I can even meet new friends!" Fu Ziyan smiled casually and naturally, not worried about being isolated. This is a wealthy area, and everyone knows who lives where. How could someone offend others and make enemies at a birthday party?
So Fu Ziyan happily went there with the gifts prepared by the housekeeper.
Let's not even mention the birthday parties of wealthy families. They are beautifully decorated and luxuriously decorated. Celebrities gather, chatting and laughing. While the theme is a birthday party, the conversation can indirectly lead to a business deal.
The banquet was divided into two sides, one for adults and the other for children.
Nine-year-old Fu Ziyan, of course, sat at the children’s “table”!
As Fu Ziyan expected, even though they had never met before, they were all very friendly. The more prominent and prestigious a person's family was, the better they knew how to manage their connections, and children were no exception.
It is said that China is a society based on personal connections, but in fact, in the upper class society abroad, personal connections are an invisible network, and admission to a prestigious university with the recommendation of personal connections is a sure thing.
Fu Ziyan, who has been the daughter of the Fu family for more than half a year, is also very clear about this truth. She needs to make some friends for the future.
At a birthday party that wasn't exactly exciting, Fu Ziyan met several friends, including the daughter of a well-known antique jeweler, the only son of an insurance company chairman, the daughter of a bank director, etc. Among them was Uncle Sheng's daughter Sheng Mingxi, who was passionate about making diamond paintings!
Therefore, Uncle Sheng thinks that girls will like diamond paintings.
After meeting new friends, Fu Ziyan also attended several parties and salons in order to deepen the friendship.
After all, they are still minors, so these parties do not have any commercial atmosphere. Instead, the gameplay is diverse and varied, such as maze parties, flower fairy themes or ocean themes.
In short, the flower skirt, fishtail skirt and corresponding jewelry accessories in Fu Ziyan's closet were all put to use.
On the day of the ocean-themed party, Fu Ziyan highlighted the ocean theme with an aquamarine pearl forehead ornament, a sea-ripple stone and conch pearl necklace, and a shell and pearl watch. She thought she was serious enough.
Unexpectedly, Elara, the daughter of an antique jeweler, appeared wearing an antique aquamarine crown that had been passed down through the Spanish royal family for centuries.
As expected of an antique jeweler, he has quite a rich collection!
Antique jewelry handed down from generation to generation cannot be bought with ordinary money; it also depends on luck.
However, Fu Ziyan has no interest in antique jewelry. She doesn't like to wear jewelry that has been used by others. She prefers to create new ones that are unique to her.
But just because she doesn't like wearing antique jewelry doesn't mean she doesn't like antiques. As a well-known antique collector, she must have a few Chinese national treasures!
After getting to know each other, Fu Ziyan seemed to casually express her love for Chinese antiques. Elara said tactfully, "My dad also has a collection of Chinese antiques. Next time you come to my house, I'll take you to see them."
Fu Ziyan was very satisfied and smiled slightly, "Thank you very much, Elara!"
If you can see it, you can buy it. If there is an antique that can be called a national treasure in the future, Fu Ziyan must get it. Antique dealers also need to make money. As long as the price is high enough, no dealer will refuse.
Elara's father Bart was indeed not unwilling.
He collected these Chinese antiques mainly for their future value. But since Fu's daughter, known as the king of Wall Street speculation, was willing to pay a high price for the antiques, Bart was naturally happy to sell them to her.
Not to mention that the price was not bad for him, he had just bought these antiques from a poor British noble five years ago, so reselling them like this would make him ten times the profit. Just the fact that he could establish a relationship with Fu was a good deal.
Fu Ziyan didn't care about Bart's thoughts. She was just surprised that she could buy a snake head for just 20,000 US dollars.
This is a snake head!
Fu Ziyan had not yet returned to her motherland before her pregnancy, but she happened to come across it and bought it at a low price.
Although Fu Ziyan carefully observed the snake head several times, she really couldn't see what was beautiful about it, nor did she understand why it was called a national treasure.
But none of this matters. What matters is that in twenty years, it will be able to return home, to its homeland. Fu Ziyan wouldn't dare bring the snake head back home these days, fearing it might suffer an unforeseen disaster. Next year would be 1966.
The Chinese antiques in Bart's hands, except for the snake head, were all valuable. Fu Ziyan, who was "inexperienced," didn't recognize them, but she brought someone who knew about antiques.
There is no shortage of antique appraisers in New York's Chinatown who are familiar with these national cultural treasures.
If you have money and ability, you can summon it easily.
Compared with antiques from other countries, Bart's collection of Chinese antiques includes porcelain, enamel, calligraphy and painting, and jade, but it is definitely not a small amount.
Fu Ziyan didn't buy everything. People were selling her antiques out of respect, so she couldn't just buy them all out like they were stocking up. Besides, she wasn't that keen on antiques. After the snake head, she only picked out a few rarer items to buy.
To thank Elara, Fu Ziyan specially prepared a small pearl embroidered bag for her.
These are very delicate and cute little bags. She had a batch of them custom-made by an embroidery master when she was in Hong Kong. They are not too expensive and are enough to show her friendship.
Two days later, Fu Qiyuan inspected all his properties in New York and finally had time to take her to the stables for horse riding.
Fu Ziyan complained about this, "Dad, you clearly said you would take me there after two days of rest, and it's already been almost a week!"
Fu Qiyuan sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, Titti, it's Daddy who broke the promise this time. To express my apology, I will accompany you to travel around the United States for the next month."
One month!
That’s a busy dad’s month!
Knowing when to quit, Fu Ziyan happily accepted her father's apology and played flying chess with her father.
Riding is one thing, but it’s so hot outside now, she doesn’t want to do a DIY tan!
In the evening, as the golden crows retreated, Fu Ziyan followed her father to his newly purchased private horse ranch. The breeze was gentle, and the sun wasn't scorching yet, making it the perfect time to learn horsemanship.

I specifically looked up photos of the twelve animal heads online, but with my aesthetic sense, I really don't see their beauty! (Maybe I'm just too low-brow)
I used to wonder why novels about wealthy people always have to write about buying animal heads, but now I think about it, when the heroine is rich enough, there don’t seem to be many things that can be simply written about her contributing to the motherland.
When the heroine grows up, she will make more contributions to the motherland! For example, she will provide a large number of jobs and contribute to the GDP of the motherland.
