…
Panjiayuan, as the most famous antique street in the world of ghost blowing lanterns, has an endless stream of people who love collecting antiques.
And in Panjiayuan, Da Jinya, who inherited his father's business from son to son, can definitely be regarded as a figure.
However, just such a person, but he ignored the old saying that colleagues are enemies, and helped an unknown young man to open a new antique store next to his ancestral antique store: a serious antique store. This incident once made the man down.
It was circulated among people, and everyone was puzzled. Many people thought that the big gold tooth might have dumped something unclean, and they were deceived.
…
In a serious antique store, Zhang Lin was sitting at the counter, lying on the Taishi chair and rocking leisurely.
In this shop of less than twenty square meters, there are about a dozen so-called antiques on display.
Antiques is one of the industries that does not open for three years and lasts for three years after opening. At this time, there was not a single customer in the entire serious antique store, and the business seemed very light.
The entire store, except for the counter, was covered with a thin layer of dust. It looked like it was suffering serious losses and business was in slump.
Zhang Lin was flipping through the Taoist secret scriptures in his hand at this time, and he was not at all worried about the lackluster business like other bosses.
Because the purpose of opening this store is not to make money, but to wait for others.
Waiting for those two people who can take him safely to Jingjue Ancient City.
"Hey, why is Brother Zhang in the store today? I made my trip to your house in vain."
When Zhang Lin was leisurely and contented, a man walked in from the door and spoke to Zhang Lin skillfully. He moved to a chair aside without any politeness, wiped the chair skillfully, got himself a cup of tea, sat down, looked around and then said:
"I have a job recently, can Brother Zhang take it?"
Zhang Lin heard this and asked without raising his head: "What kind of job does Brother Jin have? Is it more profitable than selling those fakes like you?"
The person who came was none other than Da Jinya, one of the important figures in this world. When I first came here half a year ago, I happened to encounter Da Jinya who was selling fake goods and was being troubled by his Japanese buyers. I helped him by the way.
People also know this.
With the help of the other party, I opened this small shop, had a place to stay, and slowly waited for Hu Bayi and two to arrive.
Because of that help, the two of them now have a deep friendship. The business of his antique shop is not good, and the big gold tooth is more interested in him than him.
Not only did he help fill the goods, but he also gave me three pieces of official kiln porcelain from the Qing Dynasty to the store. He also took me to the countryside several times to help with the goods. This time he came to the door, and it must be that the other party found the door somewhere.
Take one with you.
Hearing this, Da Jinya smiled and said: "Brother Zhang, what are you talking about? Brother Jin, I am just patriotic. You said that these treasures from our country can really be sold to those abroad?"
"You're reasonable, okay! Just don't make a big fuss and be chased and chopped again." Zhang Lin shook his head, closed the book, put it on the counter, and then asked: "What kind of job do you want to do in person?"
."
Da Jinya said: "Brother Zhang, let me tell you first, this job is not very profitable..."
"A big job that doesn't make money?" Zhang Lin stopped Jin Ya's suspicion and said, "Brother Jin, where did you get such a magical job? You should never be able to get a shot in eight lifetimes!"
"Hehe..." Da Jinya said proudly: "You don't understand, little brother! What is the most important thing in our line of work?"
Da Jinya pointed to his own eyes and said, "In addition to these blazing golden eyes, you also need to have connections."
“So, although this job is not profitable, if you go there, you will gain insights and expand your network.
The National Archaeological Team, a serious professional archaeological team, with a lot of antiques, so many people are begging to go, so only you, Brother Jin, and I have the means."
He looked around and said: "Brother, as the old saying goes: at home, rely on your parents, and when you go out, rely on your friends. In this world, no matter what you do, you can't get enough if you don't have connections.
You, Brother Jin, and I have a lot of friends. Otherwise, how do you think you, Brother Jin, are able to thrive in Panjiayuan? It’s because you have many brothers on the road and everyone gives you face."
"What kind of job is it?" Zhang Lin rubbed his head and said, "If you don't tell me, I will treat you!"
"Don't bother me!" Da Jinya heard the words and said hurriedly: "That's it."
"Brother, I know an archaeologist. He has some friendship with my grandparents. It just so happens that he recently organized an archaeological team, funded by Americans, to go to the desert of Xinjiang to find some exquisite ancient city.
I'm just thinking about it. I would like to introduce you to my brother. Firstly, you can open your eyes with the professors from the archaeological team and learn how to identify antiques. Secondly, you can get to know the professors. Isn't it just a network of connections between you and me?
Establish a good relationship with those authoritative professors, and you can ask them to take care of things you are not sure about..."
"Brother Jin is interested!" Zhang Lin nodded. He had unexpectedly helped Da Jinya once. The other party was so caring about him and he was also very affectionate. No wonder he and Hu Bayi were childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts.
Get involved and gain their trust.
And he also wanted to go to the ancient city of Jingjue. He was just waiting for this moment here, so he pretended to think about it, agreed, and said, "I'll take this job." Then he said, "But I'm asking Brother Jin, what do you think?
If you don’t make money, how much is the reward?”
Da Jinya asked: "Brother, the store is short of funds? How much is the shortfall? I will fold it for you."
Regarding Da Jinya's move to give money tactfully, Zhang Lin was a little speechless, but he still said sincerely: "It's not a matter of funds, it's just knowing the bottom line."
"Is there any other way to say this?" Da Jinya said: "The archaeological team has a little bit, but not a lot. You also know that although our country is currently undergoing reform and opening up, the economic situation in all parts of the country is very good. But our country's economy
Compared with those in Europe and the United States, their strength is still not as good as others, so the real big player is still the Americans.
I heard from Professor Chen that the Americans invested about 100,000 U.S. dollars to purchase a series of professional equipment. For the team leaders recruited from outside, they gave about 15,000 U.S. dollars. The specific amount depends on the Americans’ plans. You can negotiate for yourself.
."
Zhang Lin laughed when he heard this: "Fifteen thousand US dollars is enough to buy several courtyard houses in Beiping City. Such a big sum of money is just small money for Brother Jin now. It seems that he has not been making much recently."
Too little!"
Da Jinya said proudly: "It's all hard-earned money and not worth it. If Brother Zhang is willing, given your skills, making this kind of money is not as easy as eating and drinking."
He stood up and said, "Brother Zhang, do you have time now? I also made an appointment with two friends, and they are also going to do this job. It's a good time to introduce you to each other. You go with them, so that everyone can look after you on the way.
In the desert, anything can happen, and we can't let the Americans trick us."
When Zhang Lin heard this, he knew who the other party was talking about. When the archaeological team funded by Shirley Yang showed up, it must be the golden captain duo of Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan.
When he finally wanted to see the two of them, Zhang Lin said: "We have enough time, let's leave now."
After saying that, Da Jinya waited for Zhang Lin to finish packing, and the two of them walked out together.
Half an hour later.
"We're here!" Outside a mutton restaurant, Da Jinya looked up at the signboard and said to Zhang Lin behind him: "I guess they have been waiting for a long time, let's go in!"
Zhang Lin nodded, and the two of them entered the mutton restaurant. Da Jinya stood at the door of the mutton restaurant and looked around. He said to Zhang Lin that they were over there, and then went to the northeast corner of the restaurant to prepare mutton ingredients.
The two people walked away quickly and laughed at the same time: "Old Hu, Fatty, long time no see..."
"Lao Jin! You're finally here, sit down quickly! Sit down quickly!"
When Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan saw Big Jinya, they greeted him warmly. Hu Bayi quickly stood up and pulled out his chair. Wang Kaixuan, who was busy with his hands, smiled and said: "Sit down, Lao Jin, this pot
The ingredients will be ready soon, today I have to show you my craftsmanship, Fatty!"
"That's a good relationship!" Da Jinya smiled and stepped aside to let Zhang Lin behind him: "You two, before we eat, let me introduce you first. This is my brother Zhang Lin."
Da Jinya said, patted Hu Bayi on the shoulder and said to Zhang Linda: "Brother, these are the two masters I often tell you: Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang."
After Big Jinya finished his introduction, Zhang Lin stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, my name is Zhang Lin. I'm glad to meet you two masters!"
Seeing this, Hu Bayi wiped his hands on his clothes, then shook hands with Zhang Lin and said: "I don't dare to take the word "master" seriously. My name is Hu Bayi, you can call me Lao Hu, his name is Wang Kaixuan, you can call him
Fatty."
Fatty Wang on the side took Zhang Lin's hand, held it with both hands and said: "My name is Wang Kaixuan, they all call me Fatty, you can also call me Fatty, it sounds friendly."
Zhang Lin nodded when he heard this and said: "That's a good relationship!"
Da Jinya said: "Since everyone knows each other, please sit down quickly."
Da Jinya pulled out the chair and after the four of them sat down, Da Jinya looked around and whispered: "Master Hu, Master Fatty, I'm here to see you today. I have a job. Do you want to take it?"
Fatty Wang was about to speak when Hu Bayi held him back, shook his head slightly, glanced at Zhang Lin who was preparing the dipping sauce, and then smiled and said, "I wonder what kind of job Master Jin is talking about?"
"Last time you two went down..."
"Ahem..."
Da Jinya was about to tell Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan that they brought back a pair of jades the last time they visited the tomb of a Yuan Dynasty general, and that all other valuable items in the tomb were destroyed.
When Hu Bayi saw this, he coughed quickly and wanted to interrupt Da Jinya's words.
Seeing this, Da Jinya was very surprised and said, "What's wrong with Mr. Hu? Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhang Lin raised his head, glanced at Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, smiled slightly and said: "Brother Hu, Fatty, our jobs are the same this time. If you can't trust me, you should trust Brother Jin!"
"That's, that's..."
