However, the door was closed at this moment, and no sound from the yard could be heard from the outside. Ye Dongping had never been here before, so he could only take out his mobile phone and call Ji Ran.
Two or three minutes later, the door was opened a crack from the inside. A man showed his head and looked at Ye Dongping's license plate, and then opened both doors.
"This yard is quite interesting."
Ye Tian sat in the car and saw clearly that there was actually a shadow wall built inside the gate of the "repair shop". In other words, when you look in from the gate, you can't see anything but a wall.
But after driving the car in and bypassing the screen wall, there is a completely different world inside.
Behind the screen wall is a large parking lot, where a variety of twenty or thirty cars have been parked, including Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and luxury cars whose names Ye Tian didn't recognize.
On the right side of the parking lot, there is a row of two-story buildings. From the outside, they have ordinary white plaster walls and are not very conspicuous.
In the open space opposite the small building, a large pergola was built with glazed tiles. From a distance, Ye Tian could see many people walking around inside.
As soon as Ye Dongping parked the car, Ji Ran, who was waiting in the parking lot, opened the car door from the front and said enthusiastically: "Uncle Ye, Ye Tian, you are here, welcome, welcome!"
A follower standing behind Ji Ran was dumbfounded. Although Mr. Ji had no airs, he was still very arrogant. He had never seen Ji Ran come to the parking lot to greet someone?
"Mr. Ji, I'm sorry, I didn't know the way here for the first time, so I'm a little late..." The appointed time was at eight-thirty in the morning, but Ye Dongping took a detour just now, and now it's past nine o'clock.
After hearing Ye Dongping's words, Ji Ran quickly waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I was supposed to pick you up in a car. Uncle Ye, it's already starting inside. Can I accompany you there?"
According to the rules here, except for people from the seller, buyers are not allowed to drive here by themselves. Ji Ran will arrange a car to circle around Sijiu City and pull all the people who are coming.
However, there are exceptions to everything. For some old customers or those with strong backgrounds, this rule does not apply. Haven’t you seen a line of luxury cars lined up in the parking lot?
"Mr. Ji, I know the rules. We can just go there by ourselves." Ye Dongping shook his head, but he refused to let Ji Ran accompany him. When doing business in a place like this, the less conspicuous the better, so as not to be remembered by others.
.
Ji Ran smiled when he heard this and said: "Okay, Uncle Ye, I won't accompany you anymore. You go in and look at it first. If you like something, you can talk to the owner first. If you can't reach an agreement, we can return it in the afternoon."
There will be an auction…”
Ji Ran knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Anyway, Ye Dongping was a person in the antique shop. If he got close to him in the future, he would definitely have a way to get close to Ye Tian. There was no need to be courteous now. It would be too pretentious.
When Ye Tian and his son walked to the trading floor, the person next to Ji Ran asked: "Brother Ji, then...who are those two people?"
"Yun Qing, their surname is Ye, they are father and son. When you meet these two in the future, greet them warmly and don't make them angry!"
Although Ji Ran is the boss here, he doesn't come here often unless there are some big deals. Things here are usually left to the person next to him named Lu Yunqing to take care of, so he gave him a few words to avoid getting hurt.
I didn't even know I had offended anyone.
"Yes, Brother Ji, I understand."
Being able to be entrusted with such an important task by Ji Ran, Lu Yunqing naturally looked at him a bit. After hearing Ji Ran's words, although he was still guessing about the identities of Ye Tian and the others, he had already included them in the list of distinguished guests.
"Is this place really where these tomb robbers gather?"
Before he reached the shed, Ye Tian frowned, because from so far away, he felt a breath of death. This kind of breath can only be felt by people who often go to and from graves.
This kind of dead energy is also a kind of evil spirit. It usually does no harm to people, but if it condenses too much, when you are old or unlucky, when this evil spirit breaks out, it will cause people to end up extremely miserable.
.
Therefore, people who have been engaged in the tomb robbing business since ancient times rarely have a good death. Even the small number of people who have a good death are mostly those who know the art of fortune-telling and know how to avoid this kind of death aura.
After what happened to Di Wang, Ye Tian no longer dared to underestimate these people. Various ancient magic techniques were declining, but some might be passed down. Maybe among these people, there were experts he didn't know about.
.
The weather in Yanjing in September still has a big temperature difference. The sun has risen high now, and the temperature outside is around 27 or 8 degrees. However, as soon as I walked into the shed, it suddenly felt cooler.
Others may have thought that the coolness was due to the shading of the glass shed, but Ye Tian's brows furrowed even more tightly. After touching Ye Dongping, he said, "Dad, tell me what you are interested in."
, you can’t buy everything here!”
As soon as he entered the shed, Ye Tian felt that many things here were not very clean and contained a sinister aura. There were several places where the aura had condensed and could already cause harm to the human body.
Ye Dongping nodded when he heard this, looked around and said, "I know, just follow me!"
Ye Dongping usually likes to scold Ye Tian, but he just wants to feel like he is a father. In fact, he understands his son's abilities better than anyone else, especially when the haunting incident happened. In these aspects, Ye Dongping almost obeys his son's words.
At this moment, this shed, which is about 20 meters long and divided into three rows, is filled with a variety of utensils, from bronze tripods to porcelain to calligraphy and painting ancient books.
It gives people the feeling of arriving at Panjiayuan.
In addition to the sellers sitting behind the objects, there were about thirty or forty buyers in the shed. On the way here, Ye Dongping told Ye Tian that these people almost monopolized the large-scale antique transactions in Sijiu City.
"Hey, Lao Ye, why are you here?" When Ye Dongping was looking around just now, he also attracted the attention of others. A man of similar age to him came over saying hello.
"Hey, Mr. Yu, are you here too?"
After seeing the visitor, Ye Dongping hurriedly greeted him. Although he was not young, he had only been in Yanjing for a short time, so he was still a newcomer in the industry.
"Haha, how can this place be without me, Lao Yu?"
The visitor chuckled, then looked at Ye Dongping and asked: "Old Ye, whose path did you take? It's not easy to get in here. In the future, our antique business in Sijiu City will need you again."
It’s my share…”
"Haha, Mr. Yu has said it before. Ye is a latecomer in the industry. I hope Mr. Yu will give him more support in the future..."
Ye Dongping laughed and started to fight with the visitor, but he was also a little proud in his heart. Just as the boss Yu Juyu said, only by entering here could he come into contact with the core level of antique trading in Sijiucheng.
You know, no matter what business you do from ancient times to the present, you must first do two things, one is the source of goods, and the other is the shipping channel.
In the antique business, the supply of goods is particularly important. Those who set up street stalls in Panjiayuan to sell modern handicrafts want to buy antiques, but they have no channels to purchase them.
The real antique dealers in Sijiucheng, those who control large-scale transactions, must have extensive purchase channels.
For example, if a rich man wants to buy a piece of Kangxi blue and white this morning, you can get it in the afternoon. In this way, if others need it next time, they will naturally come to you. Over time, the antique business in Sijiucheng will be
These people have been given the monopoly.
However, the practice of going to rural areas to collect antiques, which was popular in the past few years, is now outdated.
Firstly, after so many years, even if there are some good things, they have basically been taken away. Secondly, those old farmers have learned to be shrewd one by one. They dare to use a broken bowl for feeding pigs and chickens to feed hundreds of thousands of dollars.
I'll offer you a price of 80,000 yuan.
So these people set their sights on the tomb robbers. Firstly, the goods were genuine, and secondly, the price was real. Moreover, if there was a problem, they did not dare to announce it. This business that Ji Ran has done in the past two years can be regarded as gaining the support of both supply and demand.
welcome.
Boss Yu was a little unwilling to follow Ye Dongping's words, and asked again: "Old Ye, who introduced you here?"
As the saying goes, there is no father or son in the business world. Although Mr. Yu and Ye Dongping are considered friends and they chat a few words when they meet on weekdays, Ye Dongping's joining will inevitably take away some of these people's business. Mr. Yu is also asking this question.
Measure Ye Dongping’s confidence.
If the person who introduced him is insignificant, then Boss Yu will join forces with others to squeeze Ye Dongping out of this circle. After all, this dinner is getting more and more unpalatable, and it is good to have fewer people competing.
"Haha, I have a good relationship with Mr. Ji. He invited me here this time!" How could Ye Dongping not understand what the other party meant? He immediately mentioned Ji Ran's name to save these people from suppressing him in the future.
.
After hearing Ye Dongping's words, Mr. Yu's face changed, and he smiled unnaturally and said: "Oh, so it's Mr. Ji? Old Ye, you have a broad path. By the way, I just saw an object over there.
I won’t accompany you anymore…”
Yu Ju wanted to find a few familiar colleagues to inquire about the news. If Ye Dongping was really introduced by Ji Ran, then they would have no choice but to admit it. After all, they now rely on Mr. Ji for their livelihood.
"Is this big business worth such intrigues?"
After Boss Yu left, Ye Tian stood next to his father and curled his lips. He had shown that he didn't like the antique business since he was a child, and there was a reason for that.
People like Ye Tian are mostly exposed to the evil spirits of yin and yang, and most of these antiques, even those handed down from generation to generation, have a trace of evil spirits, so naturally they are not welcomed by Ye Tian...
