Chapter 796: Chapter 800: Crisis Lurking Everywhere_1

"Deal!"

Yang Fei covered her face, was she a fool? Did she dig a pit and jump into it herself?

Ye Qingyin watched Yang Fei and Yang Gang with a complex expression, but didn’t say anything.

"Brother Gang, Sister Feifei, I won’t disturb you guys. Have fun," Ye Qingyin said.

"Uh, we’re not familiar with Xueji. We don’t know where to go. Hey, Qingyin, you seem quite familiar with Xueji. How about taking us for a stroll?" Yang Fei suggested.

Ye Qingyin considered it, then said: "There’s an Antique City nearby, it’s quite famous in the entire South Pacific Ocean. How about we go there?"

"Antique? You mean the kind that can make you rich overnight?" Yang Fei became animated, thinking of something.

"Exactly. Nowadays antique collecting is booming, both legitimate and illicit organizations are into it. Even Dawn of Light.." Ye Qingyin started to say, but stopped halfway.

Yang Fei curiously asked: "What about Dawn of Light? That terrorist organization doesn’t collect antiques too, do they?"

Ye Qingyin’s mouth twitched, thinking: "It’s not a terrorist organization!"

Of course, she did not say this out loud. Instead, she nodded, saying, "It was reported in the news that a high-ranking member of Dawn of Light spent several billions to buy a Song Dynasty porcelain vase. This priceless vase was bought by someone for less than five hundred dollars, making him a millionaire overnight."

"Mi..million times!" Yang Fei was stunned.

Coming back to her senses, she quickly pulled Yang Gang along: "Gang, we can save father’s company!"

"Huh? You have money? I saw in the news, if you want to buy back Yang Group, you need at least tens of billions." Yang Gang said.

"I don’t have money now, but I will have money soon!"

"Hey, you’re not planning to borrow from Xue Chen, are you?" Yang Gang was unhappy.

"No!" Yang Fei paused and then grinned: "We’re going to the Antique City to find treasures. If we find a few more precious vases, we would be able to raise enough money."

Yang Gang covered his face with one hand and tapped Yang Fei’s head with the other, "Feifei, let’s be realistic, will we? Do you think antiquing is that easy? To actually find a valuable antique, you need rich knowledge in history and cultural artifacts, and an understanding of chemistry, physics, even philosophy.."

"Wait a minute! I can understand why we need knowledge in chemistry and physics. After all, artifacts might undergo chemical reactions over time, leading to the genuine artifacts being buried among countless fakes. But why would we need to learn philosophy to collect antiques?"

Yang Gang sighed: "Feifei, you really don’t understand. Antiquing is like investing in the stock market, it has risks. You only see those who made a fortune overnight in the antique world, but not those who went bankrupt because they made a wrong judgement. If you don’t have a strong heart and a correct world view, don’t play with antiques. How to cultivate a bright mind is the scope of philosophy."

Yang Fei: ..

"Although I know you’re talking nonsense seriously, I have nothing to retort. But, speaking of which..." Yang Fei blinked her eyes: "What does ’judging wrongly’ mean?"

Yang Gang broke into a cold sweat. This girl seemed to truly understand nothing.

He composed himself and said: "’Judging wrongly’ is a term in the antique world, it means you made a wrong judgement. For example, spending a million on a fake that’s worth only ten thousand. There’s an opposite term which is ’picking a leak’, that is, buying a genuine artifact at a low price."

"Oh, I see!"

At that time, Xue Chen called, saying that there was only one flight to Xilan Republic from Xueji per day. Today’s flight had already taken off, they could only wait for tomorrow’s flight.

After hanging up Xue Chen’s call, Yang Fei immediately pulled Yang Gang along, excited: "It leaves us time, let’s go to the Antique City!"

"Mmm, alright," Yang Gang thought for a moment, and then nodded.

When they arrived at the Antique City, it was crowded with people. Although the antiques in the Antique City came in various kinds, most of them were from ancient Huaxia.

Firstly, because Huaxia has a long history, it’s the only civilization in the world that has remained uninterrupted. The longer the history, the more developed the civilization, and the more antiques there are.

Secondly, Xueji, known as ’Little Huaxia of the South Sea’, had many citizens who were descendants of the Huaxia Clan who migrated over hundreds of years ago. Today, the King of Xueji is of Huaxia descent, making it truly the ’Little Huaxia of the South Sea’.

"OMG!" Yang Fei looked at the packed crowd, blinking her eyes: "So many people, like dumplings. And so many Huaxia people!"

"Eighty percent of the foreigners who entered Xueji during this period are originally from Huaxia," Ye Qingyin said lightly.

Yang Gang eyed the crowd, his brows slightly knitted.

As Huaxia had now joined the Earth Federation and the country of Huaxia no longer existed, many Huaxia nationalists viewed Xueji as a new base to revitalize the glory of the Huaxia Clan. They came to Xueji trying to expand their grand plans.

Yang Gang was very against this.

Although he was of Huaxia culuture, he was not a Huaxia nationalist, nor did he want Xueji to become a base camp for Huaxia nationalists. This was his country, whether they were of Huaxia heritage or other ethnicities, they were all his citizens and should be treated equally. The exclusionistic emotion of the Huaxia nationalists was very strong. If they were allowed to expand their influence in Xueji, it would inevitably lead to a new civil war in Xueji.

Yang Gang now truly felt the crisis.

Externally, the Skru Republic of the Dark Moon Sect Federation and the puppet Xilan Republic of the Earth Federation were watching Xueji closely.

Internally, remnants of the Doctrine Party and Civilian Party were still causing trouble; Dawn of Light and Stabbing Gold, private armed forces, had returned and established new bases in Xueji.

Now, even the Huaxia nationalists were involved.

The small Xueji Kingdom had become a stage for various forces to wrestle for power.

What made Yang Gang depressed was that ’Love and World Peace’ was not yet stably established in Xueji, and didn’t have enough strength to drive all foreign forces out.

"Sigh, the most crucial thing is money. Without money, there’s no way to buy weapons, recruit talents, or expand influence and develop the nation. If it hadn’t been for the good economic returns from the bride selection program, the new government would have had a harder time."

"Hey, Gang, what are you thinking? You look so worried. It’ll affect our luck and attract bad luck!" Yang Fei complained.

Yang Gang broke into a cold sweat: "Where do you get that confidence from, you know nothing about antiques?"

"Aren’t you very knowledgeable?"

Yang Gang rolled his eyes: "I’m just about there, it’s harder for me to find a treasure with my level of knowledge than climbing up to the sky."

"But, you found a painting for dad at the Hangcheng Antique Market for his birthday, didn’t you?" Yang Fei said.

Yang Gang froze, his expression slightly dimmed.
