"Ye Tian, I'm a few years older than you. If you don't mind, I'll call you by your name..." Ji Ran is very good at building relationships with people. Seeing that Ye Tian didn't have any ill feelings toward him, he immediately separated the two of them.
The names between them have been changed.
"Haha, of course." As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Ye Tian was too embarrassed to say anything, so he nodded and agreed.
"Ye Tian, these collections of yours are all old items that are open to the public. There are not many people like you in Sijiucheng. If these tables and chairs are taken out, someone will definitely pay a high price..."
After chatting with each other, Mr. Ji immediately started praising the antiques in this room. However, Ji Ran was not all complimenting Ye Tian, because some of the items in this room were really good.
Just like the huanghuali armchairs sitting under the buttocks of several people, it is real huanghuali furniture from the Ming Dynasty. The auction market is booming now. This set of round tables and chairs costs at least a million.
"Ahem, it's mainly because my father likes it. Brother Ji deserves it!" Ye Tian was a little depressed. Although he was anxious to go back to his room to practice, he couldn't say anything to drive others away when he saw Ji Ran talking about Zhengnong, right?
As for the value of this set of huanghuali furniture, Ye Tian naturally knew that armchairs were mostly found in Jiangnan. His father spent 180 yuan to acquire them from a large family in his early years. Ye Dongping didn't know that he was bragging in his son's ears.
How many times has it happened?
"Brother Ye, Lao Ji, I have also been doing antique business in the past two years. If you don't mind that my brother's plate is too small, come to my place and take a look when you have time. If you see anything you like, I will offer it to you at the original price. How about it?
"
After entering this wing, Ji Ran's heart brightened up. He was worried about finding a common language when interacting with others. Now with this antique as a medium, Mr. Ji was immediately confident about becoming friends with Ye Tian.
Eighty-nine points.
Anyone who plays with antiques will rush to take a look when they hear that there is a good thing somewhere, even if others don't sell it or they can't afford it themselves, so Ji Ran believes that Ye Tian will not refuse him.
suggested.
It's just that Mr. Ji didn't expect that Ye Tian had no interest in antiques at all, and he didn't collect the things in this room. It would have been about the same if it had been Ye Dongping.
"Haha, Brother Ji, I am renovating a courtyard during this period, and I really don't have time. How about...waiting until next month?" Ye Tianna's courtyard is at a critical stage of construction, so how can he have free time to look at any antiques?
?I declined immediately.
"Ah? Brother Ye, my place will be very lively the day after tomorrow. You really don't want to go and see it?"
Ji Ran was stunned when he heard this. His business was quite famous among the antique shops in Sijiucheng. Others who wanted to participate could not find a way to get involved. Unexpectedly, he was rejected by Ye Tian.
"Ye Tian, I went over to eat and was yelled at every time. It's outrageous!"
Just when Ye Tian was about to say goodbye, Ye Dongping's voice rang from the door, "Hey, Xiaotian, do you have a guest? Why don't you tell me and I'll ask your aunt to cook more dishes.
"
Ye Tian waved his hand to his father and said: "Dad, no need, they will leave right away. Du Qiang, just remember that and send me the receipt when you have finished it."
Du Qiang also knew that Ye Tian was chasing people away, so he quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Ye, don't worry, I will do as you say!"
When Du Qiang said this, Mr. Ji was too embarrassed to stay any longer. He immediately stood up and followed Du Qiang.
Ye Dongping didn't know the relationship between them and didn't say anything, but when Ji Ran walked in front of him, Ye Dongping was suddenly stunned and shouted: "You... you are the general manager of Lin Hai Auction, right?
"
"I...I am Ji Ran, Uncle Ye, do you know me?"
After listening to the conversation between Ye Dongping and Ye Tian, Ji Ran certainly knew about their relationship, but he really had no impression of Ye Dongping and didn't know how the other party knew him.
"Mr. Ji has a good reputation in the industry. Of course I know him. Hey, let me tell you, Ye Tian, why are you rushing out when a distinguished guest comes to your door?"
Ye Dongping was very dissatisfied with his son's behavior. He usually couldn't find a way to send an object for auction. Now the boss of the auction company came to the house, and his son actually wanted to drive others away, and his tone just now seemed very unpleasant.
polite?
"Dad, where are you following?"
Ye Tian was dumbfounded by what his father said. How could he not know Ji Ran's little thoughts? It's just that Ye Tian didn't want to associate with these rich young men.
To be honest, after getting acquainted with Lei Wu, Wei Hongjun, and Liu Dazhi, who were the first generation entrepreneurs in Yanjing, Ji Ran's level was really not taken seriously by Ye Tian.
Ji Ran saw the unhappy look on Ye Tian's face and said quickly: "Uncle Ye, I just came to visit brother Ye. I have nothing else to do, so I won't delay your meal."
"What are you talking about? You are just a guest when you pass by. I usually can't invite Mr. Ji if I want to. Come on, let's go to the middle courtyard and have a few drinks..."
Although Ye Dongping knew that the other party must be asking his son for something, he had recently wanted to use the auction channel to sell antiques, but he had never found a hard way. Now that he had this opportunity, he couldn't care less about Ye Tian's thoughts.
"Then..." Ji Ran turned to look at Ye Tian. When he saw him nodding, he quickly said: "Okay, then I'll bother Uncle Ye!"
Ji Ranneng stayed, but Du Qiang knew that it was not appropriate for him to stay, so he said, "Mr. Ye, I have to go to the hospital to see my son, so I'm leaving first."
"Okay, your son is a little weak. Take him to see more sunshine and less to cold places!" Ye Tian told Du Qiang a few words and sent him out of the yard.
"Dad, I have something else to do. You and Brother Ji go to eat. I will eat later!"
After seeing Du Qiang away, Ye Tian put away the check and donation receipt on the table and quickly returned to his backyard. He now wanted to meditate to see if what Master said about doing good deeds and accumulating virtue was really beneficial to practicing the exercises.
?
There are two types of exercises that Ye Tian practices. One is Waijiaquan, which is somewhat similar to Wuqinxi, but it is used in actual combat. Its power is comparable to Xingyi.
The second type is the internal method of breathing, resting and breathing, which is also a secret of Mai's lineage. Even Ye Tianyuan's two senior brothers in Hong Kong and Taiwan have only learned a little bit and can only practice this method.
, in order to communicate the vitality of heaven and earth and use magic techniques.
However, before Ye Tian, there were no techniques in the Mai lineage, but the inheritance of techniques had been lost for hundreds of years. Although the old Taoist had practiced the techniques to the extreme, he could not perform any techniques.
After calming down, Ye Tian sat cross-legged on the bed, and encouraged the energy in his body to walk around the world. According to what the old Taoist said, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue can bring blessings from heaven. When performing meritorious deeds, you will often get twice the result with half the effort.
However, more than an hour passed, and Ye Tian had already walked for two weeks, but he still didn't feel that his true energy was smoother than before, so he couldn't help but sit up straight in frustration.
"Master, are you afraid that I will do whatever it takes to collect money and deceive me?"
An idea came to Ye Tian's mind, as the saying goes, "If the wealth of the world is scattered, there will be disaster." These words are widely rumored among people who travel in the world, and even seasoned Taoists often talk about them.
Especially in magic, it is believed that people who use magic to amass money will suffer divine punishment. Although many magic masters in ancient times had brilliant methods, they often lived in seclusion in the mountains and rarely took action, just for fear of getting retribution.
And even after these people make a move, they will distribute the money they get to the poor, just like the old Tao who took Ye Tian to travel around the world for several years. He really made a lot of money, but the old Tao donated it all.
"Ye Tian, come out!" Just as Ye Tian was immersed in thinking about the exercises, his father's voice came from outside the door.
"Dad, what's wrong?" After putting on his shoes and getting out of bed, Ye Tian opened the door. Ye Dongping knew that he needed to sit down and recuperate, so he rarely bothered him in the backyard.
"I'm going to an occasion with me the day after tomorrow. Although Ji Ran didn't ask you to go by name just now, dad knows it's for your sake, so come with me!"
It is a natural thing for me to use my son. Ye Dongping did not come to discuss with his son. He just came to inform him, yes, it was a notification.
"Dad, why are you getting together with that person?" Ye Tian said with some dissatisfaction, tricking Wei Hongjun Lei Wu into buying some antiques. Ye Tian didn't care, but he really had no intention of making friends with Ji Ran.
"Did you have a problem with him?" Wei Hongjun heard something about it.
"No, I don't like him a bit..." Ye Tian told the truth.
"You brat, what qualifications do you have to look down on others?"
When Ye Dongping heard his son's words, he immediately became angry. After hitting Ye Tian on the head, he said: "Don't look at Ji Ran's young age and he has only been in the industry for a few years, but his auction house is now the capital of Yanjing City.
It is one of the best, and its annual transaction volume cannot even be matched by the big players like Guardian!"
Speaking of this, Ye Dongping lowered his voice a little and continued: "I heard that Ji Ran's family has some connections with the Ministry of Public Security. He has monopolized the antique black market in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. As long as he enters through private channels,
Jing’s belongings basically have to go through him, Ye Tian, don’t underestimate this person!”
Ye Tian curled his lips when he heard this and said, "I knew these people wouldn't follow the right path. Dad, aren't you addicted to collecting stolen goods? You can only play it once in a while, but don't treat it as a business!"
The trouble caused by his father collecting stolen goods last time almost killed Ye Tian. He didn't want to do it again. But thinking of the stolen goods last time, Ye Tian's heart suddenly moved and he asked: "Dad
, are there many objects unearthed in this antique black market?"
Although he knew that it was difficult for ordinary burial objects to become magical objects, Ye Tian picked up a handful of Wuhen for nothing last time. Ye Tian was really looking forward to the unearthed objects.
