"Why don't you find someone in the industry to look after you? I have something to do today. I will take you somewhere. I will leave soon..."
It's not that Bai Feng doesn't give Ouyang Jun face, it's just that he is really busy. Moreover, he has long lost interest in things like digging out old houses. Unlike Zhuang Rui, he plays antiques just to make money, although he still hoards them now.
There were a few things in the house that were not sold, but that was just to increase the value, not to be left to future generations.
"Haha, Brother Bai, I also know a little bit about these things, let's go and take a look first..."
Zhuang Rui smiled noncommittally, and Bai Feng shook his head. These days, there are many people who dare to go to the antique market after reading a few books. But in Bai Feng's eyes, Zhuang Rui was
classified into this category of people.
"This... then I'll ask someone to accompany you..."
Frowning slightly, Bai Feng took out his phone and made a call. He was afraid that if Zhuang Rui bought a fake item, Ouyang Jun would lose face when he turned around. Speaking of which, his current cultural company had many demands.
Ouyang Jun's.
Bai Feng hasn't figured out the relationship between Zhuang Rui and Ouyang Jun yet, thinking that they are just distant relatives, so with his current status, he still has to be a little airy. If he knew that Ouyang Zhenwu was Zhuang Rui's uncle,
So even if something big happens today, I will refuse to accompany Zhuang Rui.
The two walked out of the alley while talking. Coincidentally, their cars were parked side by side. Bai Feng was driving a Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicle that was rarely seen in China. It was slightly shorter than Zhuang Rui's Grand Cherokee. He glanced at it.
Zhuang Rui's license plate, Bai Feng confirmed the identity of Zhuang Rui's distant relative.
It was extremely cold outside, so the two simply got into their own cars, turned on the heater, opened the windows halfway, and started smoking and chatting.
"Brother Zhuang, the objects in this old house are not necessarily good things. Go and take a closer look. Don't listen to the fictitious stories those people tell you. I'll ask Xiao Fang to give you a hand later. What's the matter?
If you don’t understand, listen to his opinions more..."
As Bai Feng spoke, the hot breath from his mouth covered the half-opened car window with a layer of mist. Nowadays, antique dealers are resorting to all possible means to counterfeit antiques. The reason why he has not collected antiques in recent years is,
The reason is this. The year before last, I made a big mistake. Since then, I have played less.
"Thank you Brother Bai for your advice, I understand..."
Zhuang Rui nodded. He understood what Bai Feng said. Even this black market auction place had fake antiques to deceive people. There was no guarantee that this old house wouldn't be full of fakes.
"Well, the man I found for you is not old, but he is quite smart. He has been living in Panjiayuan for several years. Ordinary fake items cannot be hidden from him. By the way, even Xiao Fang can't tell.
, if the other party’s price is too high, don’t rush to buy it, just say hello to me later.”
"Okay, brother Bai, don't worry." Others thought that he was a novice, so Zhuang Rui didn't explain much and nodded in agreement.
"Xiao Fang, this way, come here..."
As soon as Zhuang Rui finished speaking, Bai Feng opened the door and got out of the car, shouting to someone coming from behind, but he spotted the person in the rearview mirror.
"Boss Bai, look at the object, why should I follow you? Aren't you a rude person..."
That Xiao Fang was young, looking a little younger than Zhuang Rui. Hearing Bai Feng's shout, he ran over with a fawning smile on his face.
To be precise, Xiao Fang should be an antique broker. These days, there will be middlemen when buying and selling everything from aircraft, missiles, arms, and guns to needle-nosed disposable lighters. Xiao Fang hangs out in the antique market all day long.
Although he didn't pick up any shocking leaks, he was still very knowledgeable about the gossip. He was the one who told Bai Feng about Master Mao'er.
"Okay, I have something to do today, so I won't go and see it. That's your Brother Zhuang. You can take him there and keep an eye on him. If I buy a fake thing, I will settle the score with you later...
"
When Bai Feng saw people coming, he simply didn't want to go. It was a cold day and he was too lazy to bother.
"Boss Bai, it's okay if you don't go, this..."
After hearing Bai Feng's words, Xiao Fang had a look of embarrassment on his face. He works as a broker. After taking someone there, if the item is sold, both parties will give him some benefits. Now,
If Bai Feng doesn't go, the people who follow him don't know if they understand the rules. If they don't understand the rules, they will be working blindly in this cold weather.
"Boy, when did I, Lao Bai, ever let you suffer a loss? Stop talking nonsense, get in your Brother Zhuang's car, and go..."
After Bai Feng heard Xiao Fang's words, his face tensed up, he stretched out his right hand and made it into a fist, punching Xiao Fang's shoulder three times. Zhuang Rui looked a little confused. This Bai Feng guy is quite domineering.
, the others didn’t say anything, and they actually signed it up.
What made Zhuang Rui even more shocked was that Xiao Fang was punched three times and didn't even fart. He opened his car door with a smile and got in. He also waved his hand to Bai Feng, indicating that he could do it.
gone back.
"Brother Zhuang, I'm going to leave now. If you need anything, call me..."
Bai Feng took out a piece of paper and handed it to Zhuang Rui, then got into his car and left.
"Brother Zhuang, do you want to drive yourself and let me show you the way, or should you just do it for me?"
Xiaofang also saw that the car had an out-of-town license plate, so he asked after coming up.
"Come and drive. I'm not familiar with the roads in Beijing." Zhuang Rui opened the car door and got out, changing seats with Xiao Fang.
"Hey, Brother Zhuang, then you have found the right person. There is nothing in the streets and alleys of these 49 cities that I don't know. If you want to buy anything in the future, just call me, Xiao Fang..."
Xiao Fang backed the car out of the alley and drove onto the road while smoothly introducing his business to Zhuang Rui. Anyone who could afford to drive a car worth hundreds of thousands must also be a wealthy owner.
"Xiao Fang, what did Brother Bai mean when he punched you just now?"
Zhuang Rui has been holding this question in his mind. He also saw that it was not a beating, there should be an explanation. He was a little curious, and now he finally took the opportunity to ask.
When Bai Feng heard Zhuang Rui's words, he knew that he didn't often deal with people like him, so he smiled and said: "Haha, Brother Zhuang, that's the rule in the industry. You also know that in this industry I work,
We all hope that after the business is done, the bosses will be happy and give a few rewards. What Boss Bai just said is, if there are jujubes on this tree, but there are no jujubes, strike three poles first. Regardless of whether you bought anything this time, Boss Bai's side
, all of them will be rewarded..."
"Tsk, tsk, is there such a thing? Okay, Xiaofang, if the item is suitable, I will also have your share of the money." Zhuang Rui heard this and laughed. When Xiaofang heard this, he was even more speechless.
Thank you Zhuang Rui.
Although the place Xiao Fang mentioned is also in Xicheng, it is not close to here. It took more than half an hour of driving to get to this place. When Zhuang Rui took a look in the car, he found that this was also a place where courtyards were relatively concentrated.
"Xiao Fang, this place is going to be demolished? Doesn't it mean that all courtyards should be preserved?"
Zhuang Rui was a little strange. Looking at the word "Demolish" written in white paint on the wall, he couldn't help but ask Xiao Fang, who was driving, but this place was a bit dirty. As soon as Zhuang Rui rolled down the window,
There was a strange smell and there was sewage flowing across the ground. When Xiao Fang stopped the car and Zhuang Rui opened the car door, he felt a little helpless.
Xiao Fang knew this place quite well. After getting off the car, he carefully avoided the dirty water on the ground and said: "The courtyards that are to be preserved were all those where officials lived in the past. The courtyards like here are all occupied by ordinary people."
The house they lived in in ancient times was not much different from a slum. It was dirty and messy. Now it is rented to those northern drifters. The public security is even worse, and people are killed from time to time. Therefore, the government is preparing to clean up, tear down and rebuild the house.
…”
After listening to Xiao Fang's explanation, Zhuang Rui realized that the Four Nine Cities were like ancient imperial cities, attracting people from all over the country who came to look for opportunities. After they came, they didn't find the opportunities and spent all their money.
I didn't want to leave empty-handed, so I had to find a cheap place to deal with it. Over time, it formed such a residential area.
These days, people come from all over the world and come from all professions, including poets, painters, artists and other romantic freelance workers. Therefore, these people who have no hope of success will also look for some excitement, such as taking drugs and so on.
Places often become dirty places for criminals.
This was because there had been several murder cases in succession, so the government decided to work hard to clean it up. However, the property rights in these places are complex and there are many nail-biting households. They have been talking about demolition for half a year, but the houses are still rented and the money is still collected.
A few people took it seriously.
The drainage ditch in the alley seemed to be blocked, and there was sewage flowing everywhere on the ground. Zhuang Rui and Xiao Fang were like giant monkeys, looking for a clean place to stay while letting people go out from the alley.
, not only the two of them, but also the people walking in the alley were jumping up and down.
"Master Tang, open the door, I'm Xiao Fang..."
Finally, they reached the door of a courtyard. The courtyard door was actually empty. It was unknown who had chopped it down to burn firewood. The two of them walked directly into the courtyard. Xiao Fang looked at a courtyard from the window.
There was a knock on the dark door.
Zhuang Rui looked at the environment and couldn't help but shook his head. The poor people suffered all the time. Those officials in ancient times didn't take this place to heart at all. These buildings are all roads in the alley, and the paving is better than the courtyard.
It's high, and the house is lower than the yard even without the steps. If it rains, there will probably be flooding.
This house is old enough, but Zhuang Rui really can't think of any treasures that the owner can keep. If there are any, why wait until now?
