() "Damn, it must be nice here. I don't know which house it belongs to, and I don't know if anyone else lives there. It's a great place. If I have enough money in the future, I will buy a house like this, but I don't know.
A sum of tens of millions is enough."
Just as he was thinking about it, "Ghost Master" had already opened the door and stretched his legs to step into the high threshold of the house.
"'Master Ghost,' what are you doing there?" Li Tianbao asked hurriedly.
"This is my home, of course I want to come in."
"your home"
Li Tianbao didn't expect that the plainly dressed 'Ghost Master' was actually the owner of this ancient house, so he hurriedly followed him in.
When he arrived at the inner courtyard, Li Tianbao discovered that there was something special inside this ancient house. In the midst of the scorching heat, two huge sycamore trees had blocked most of the sunlight, leaving only bursts of coolness.
The cheerful chirping, the sound is obviously many times better than the noise of the engine.
A corridor in the courtyard is entangled with leafy grape vines. There are also rows of magnolias and other precious flowers such as peonies on the edges of the two rows of rooms. It is obvious that Li Tianbao feels thoroughly satisfied when he comes here.
It feels so comfortable, and the physical discomfort caused by using fluoroscopy just now has been mostly cured.
Li Tianbao counted about nine rooms in detail. After following Master Gui into the main hall, Li Tianbao discovered that the decoration inside the hall was indeed very simple. There was only a simple Taishi chair and a square table directly opposite.
When he was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, Li Tianbao couldn't restrain his curiosity and said, "Master Ghost, is this really your home?"
"Yes, this compound is where three generations of me have lived. Although it has experienced some ups and downs, it is still in my hands after all. However, it will be demolished soon, so everything has arrived.
I wanted to come over and have a look at my new home today. As I get older, I find it difficult to go out, so I went to the lottery station after getting off the car and wanted to take a rest. I didn’t expect to see you."
"Demolish, this is my real antique, how can you just say it will be demolished?"
"You're fine, it's good to have this understanding. However, demolition is a national policy, and there is nothing we can do about it for the sake of urban development. This is not something that we can control."
"It's such a pity that such a good house should be demolished like this!" Li Tianbao was obviously reluctant to part with it.
"Okay, my old man has lived here for almost his whole life and he can't bear to part with it. Even if you preserve things like buildings well, there will always be a day when they are completely corroded. Even if they are repaired a little, they will lose their former glory.
The same goes for some antiques, which is why I only collect porcelain after retirement."
"I have a different view from you on this point. I think everything has little value unless I like it." After Li Tianbao said this true idea, he did not move or surprise the ghost master.
"You're a real kid. If you tell me something high-sounding, I really don't believe it, because as soon as I see you, you don't care much about antiques."
"Haha, you always find me."
After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he took out the enamel color from the newspaper, but he took it a little carefully because it seemed that it had not been washed after urinating.
Mr. Gui didn't look up until Li Tianbao took it out and put it on the table. This is also the rule of old age. Generally, customers and shopkeepers are not allowed to pass things hand-to-hand before "eye contact". This is a big deal in the industry.
Taboo, probably to avoid things like touching porcelain.
Master Gui obviously paid more attention to this. He didn't even open his eyes before putting the things on the table, and kept smoking his pipe with his eyes closed.
"Master Ghost, you have 'eyes'!"
Master Gui slowly opened his eyes. Although he was a little excited inside, he still acted very calmly on the surface. After just one glance, he looked up at Li Tianbao and said, "Good boy, I was right. There are really good things."
host."
"Qing Kangxi yellow ground enamel peony pattern bowl, not to mention too much, it is a fine piece of official kiln with a wide open door, a good thing." After the ghost master finished speaking, he continued: "How much do you want to sell it for?"
"How much is it worth?" Li Tianbao asked.
"Don't tell lies. Did you know that the National Palace Museum collects a bowl like this? To be honest, this is the first time I have seen such a good thing. Because of the name of the National Palace Museum, it is estimated that it will be in the collection at least.
It’s more than ten million. My old man can’t afford it!”
Li Tianbao's eyes really lit up, but looking at Master Gui's expression, he couldn't help but ask: "Master Gui, do you mean you won't accept this thing?"
"The family has a great business, but the descendants are incompetent. In the early years, I made a lot of money in the antique industry. Unfortunately, all my sons and grandsons were lost later." Gui Ye, who had just calmly dealt with the demolition of his old house, said
But when it comes to children and grandchildren, he is so sad.
"How about I give this thing to you?" Li Tianbao's words made Master Gui unprepared. He looked at Li Tianbao with wide eyes and said, "Are you telling the truth?"
"That's right, things in my hands are of no use. I am only interested in things I like." Li Tianbao's words clearly meant something.
Master Gui seemed to have guessed what Li Tianbao was thinking, and said with a smile: "Boy, I just told you that this courtyard will be demolished in more than a month, and by then it will only be divided into one house.
, give you one or two million in cash, will you lose money?"
"Haha! Let alone a month, I, Li Tianbao, can live in such a home for a week or even a day, and I will be satisfied."
"Ghost Master" looked at the arrogant Li Tianbao and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. After a while, he sighed with emotion: "If my children and grandchildren are half as good as yours, I will be satisfied."
"Come on, old man, don't praise me either. I, Li Tianbao, am so generous and don't have much achievements."
"That's wrong, old man. In my life, I have met more people than you and walked more roads than you. Maybe you don't know it yourself, but behind your casual appearance, you hide a great ambition and great wisdom.
With your heart, the future transactions will definitely be unlimited."
After "Ghost Master" finished speaking, he paused for a moment and then said: "If I can put this house in your hands, maybe I can still keep it."
The words "Master Gui" were more impactful than what he just said. Li Tianbao couldn't help but ask: "How can I keep it?"
"Hey, you really have a bad temper. I just have a feeling. Whether I can really hold you depends on your luck!" Master Gui was stunned for a moment and continued: "Then let's go there immediately.
How about 'transfer'?"
Settling down can be regarded as buying a home, so Li Tianbao was naturally very happy. Although he could only stay in that ancient house for a month, it was already a very exciting thing for Li Tianbao. Besides, even if it was demolished, it would be divided.
Once you get a house, you can have a stable family business.
After successfully transferring the ownership of the house, Li Tianbao said goodbye to "Ghost Master".
As soon as they got in the car, Wang Xiaoyu called. It turned out that Wang Xiaoyu had taken Zhao Xiaoba to the "Wangfu Peninsula" restaurant to have a drink.
It is one of the six top hotels in Beijing. It was formerly known as "Wangfu Hotel" in Beijing. In 2006, it was renamed "Wangfu Peninsula" and the decoration alone cost 35 million US dollars.
Li Tianbao thought to himself while driving, "During this period, Wang Xiaoyu and I have also learned to spend money lavishly. We took 20,000 yuan and went to the 'Wangfu Peninsula'. I really have it for you. Did you say yes when you took a taxi?"
"Little Wangfu" but was taken to the "Wangfu Peninsula", which are two completely different hotels."
After arriving at the "Wangfu Peninsula" and walking into a luxurious box that looked like a palace store, Wang Xiaoyu, Zhao Xiaoba and others were waiting for him, and no one dared to move their chopsticks.
Li Tianbao came to the table and looked at the luxurious dishes on the table and said: "Good guy, shark's fin and bird's nest!" These people really enjoyed eating and drinking. Of course, such a high-end meal must have good wine. Since Li Tianbao drank Maotai several times,
, and became deeply passionate about the wine.
After three drinks and five dishes, Wang Xiaoyu asked Li Tianbao, "Brother Bao, how much money did you earn this time?"
"I had no money, so I exchanged that 'enamel bowl' for an ancient house."
Li Tianbao felt very happy when he thought of the ancient courtyard, and his face showed a bit of joy unconsciously.
"Hey, then our buddies will become neighbors in the future, and I will be on the left side of Master Gui's house." After Zhao Xiaoba finished speaking, he continued with some regret: "That house is one of the best in our area, but the only regret is that
It will be demolished in a month, and the policy will come down in a few days."
"It's okay, it's good to be a neighbor for a month." After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and touched it with Zhao Xiaoba, and said: "Brother, if anything happens to me in the future, I will inevitably trouble Brother Zhao."
"It is our duty to do so." After saying this, Zhao Xiaoba filled a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
…
…
In this way, Li Tianbao also had his own home, and it was an ancient house. In a sense, what Li Tianbao lived in was also a luxurious "antique".
"Fengyuantang" was successfully opened a day later. Because he was very close to the store, Li Tianbao did not change the recruitment process. The piece of "chicken blood red jade" that had been processed was also placed in the brand-new store display cabinet.
During this period, Li Tianbao also specially recruited a beautiful girl as a clerk. The girl's name was Wang Fang, who was also an authentic Beijinger. Not only was she smart, but she also had a lot of experience in selling goods. Although she didn't know much about antiques, she still had a lot of experience in selling goods.
Fortunately, Li Tianbao's store only sells high-end jade jewelry for the time being, so no knowledge of antiques is needed.
Because of the popularity accumulated in the stone gambling competition, Li Tianbao successfully sold two items in the first week after opening, earning a total of more than one million yuan. There was no other store that excluded Li Tianbao.
The prosperous business of "Fengyuantang" made Li Longxing next to him a little jealous. Li Tianbao understood that this guy must not be holding back his good anger, and he didn't know when he would get bad. Li Tianbao also kept mentioning him.
Seeing that his career was off to a good start, Li Tianbao became even more lavish with money and renovated the ancient courtyard. Because the courtyard was a cultural relic, Li Tianbao did not touch anything else, but just repurchased the furniture inside.
Because Li Tianbao bought some very expensive things and sold a small-leaf red sandalwood plaque, he asked Wang Shouren to write "Li Zhai" in two big characters.
