"One hundred thousand." The stall owner is a young man, not too old, but not too young. He is at least about the same age as Han Kongque. He speaks in a rough voice and gives off a tough feeling.
This made Han Kongque frown. The price was fair, but he was afraid that the thing had come from something wrong. After all, there was only one lion.
"One hundred thousand? What is the origin of this stone lion? Boss, can you tell me? If it wasn't very famous, it wouldn't be worth the price." Han Peacock said directly.
"This is a stone lion belonging to a wealthy family in our hometown. One of them was lost during the chaotic years. Now there is only this male lion left. It doesn't look good to have a lion at the door, so I bought it.
"The lion is from the Ming Dynasty, and the price of 100,000 yuan is not expensive." The boss seemed to know the origin of this lion very well.
"One hundred thousand!"
"Tsk! I didn't expect a stone lion to be worth so much."
"Didn't you hear that this is a stone lion from the Ming Dynasty?"
"You are so stupid. If he says it is from the Ming Dynasty, it is from the Ming Dynasty? There is no inscription on it, how do you know it is from the Ming Dynasty?"
There were many outsiders watching the excitement around. When they heard that Han Kongque wanted to buy it, they immediately started talking. On the contrary, none of the knowledgeable people said anything.
"Can we sign an agreement? If we sign a transfer agreement, I want one hundred thousand yuan." Han Kongque said.
Han Peacock still likes this stone lion very much. Although there is only one, he can carve one by himself. As long as he matches it with a female lion according to the style of the Ming Dynasty, it can be placed outside the gate.
Town house.
"Okay." The stall owner said without hesitation.
Seeing that he agreed so happily, Han Kongque felt relieved. In this way, the possibility that the stone lion was stolen goods was much smaller.
Of course, even if it is really stolen goods, if you sign a contract to buy it yourself, you won't get into trouble.
"Wait a minute, I'll go home and get the contract. My house is inside." Han Kongque walked directly into the small alley.
Han Kongque brought the contract and looked at the stall owner's ID card before signing a formal transfer contract with him and paying him 100,000 yuan.
The stone lion weighed about two to three hundred kilograms, and Han Peacock could still carry this weight. He didn't need anyone's help, he just picked it up and carried it to his yard.
It was already broad daylight, and this stone lion looked particularly agile in the sunlight. It was obvious that it must have been made by a famous artist. However, Han Peacock searched all parts of the lion and could not find any inscription left by the author.
Although no identification has been found, such Ming Dynasty stone lions are rare. They can be bought for 100,000 yuan, definitely because there is only one. If two were sold as a pair, the price would definitely exceed 300,000 yuan. After all,
It is something handed down from the Ming Dynasty. Just this historical background is enough to sell it for 300,000 yuan.
People come and go in this yard every day. It is impossible to put this stone lion and peacock in the yard, so he moved it into the stairs leading to the basement. Anyway, he installed a security door here. If most people
The security door cannot be pried open, and the stone lion cannot be removed.
Just after arranging the stone lion, Han Jianguo and Han Rongrong came back with the cart.
"What are you doing? Where did you get a stone lion?" Han Jianguo frowned.
"I just bought it. When our family builds a new house, I will put it at the door of our house." Han Kongque said happily.
"Bought it? How much did it cost? If you have money, why don't you help your second brother? What's the use of buying something that you can't eat or drink?" Han Jianguo even lost his temper.
Han Kongque was speechless. Even if he had money, he wouldn't let Han Guangrong corrupt him. But today he was in a good mood, so he didn't want to conflict with Han Jianguo, so he didn't say anything.
"Boy, waiter, take a break. Didn't you say you were going to have an interview today? Perform well. If you can't find a good job, you will be as tired as you were today. Just do some work and you won't make any money.
, don’t be like your elder brother who wastes money when you have nothing to do all day long.” Han Jianguo directly used Han Peacock as a negative example.
Although he didn't go to help them sell steamed buns this morning, Han Kongque had a guess and knew that their ideal business of making a profit didn't seem so reliable.
They were already in a bad mood, and there was no need for Han Kongque to add fuel to the fire, so he ignored them and left the house by himself.
Han Rongrong studied computer applications. To put it clearly, he is a computer person, not a program developer. Who doesn’t know how to apply computers these days?
Unless you can use some very professional programs on your computer, like drawing or something, you will never find a good job.
Han Guangrong is not a boy who looks down upon him. He definitely does not have the mental ability to master a tool, so his road to finding a job must be long and arduous. That is to say, his father, Han Jianguo, regards Han Guangrong as his
A treasure.
Han Kongque ignored them. After he went out, he went directly to the bustling street in the south. There was a pedestrian street with many specialty stores selling clothes and shoes.
Han Kongque used to work as a porter in Phoenix Jewelry, so he didn't have any good clothes at all. He was going to attend a high-end banquet today, so naturally he needed to have clothes that were fashionable.
When Han Kongque went to buy clothes, Han Guangrong also wandered into the pedestrian street. Although he went out late, he was beaten by others, so he entered the pedestrian street earlier than Han Kongque.
"Han Rongrong, why did you come just now?" A tall and thin young man with a pale face shouted when he saw Han Rongrong getting out of the taxi.
"Cheng Fengfan, can I compete with you? You are a second-generation official, and I am a second-generation farmer. I can't hang out like you every day. Brother, I am now doing a small business on the antique street. I can't just play.
?" Han Guangrong said in a confused tone.
"Eh? Han Rongrong, you actually have the ability to do business on the antique street? You can't sell barbecue, right?" Another young man said.
As soon as the young man finished speaking, another one rushed over and said: "On the antique street, apart from the small vendors selling snacks, there are only antique traders. I haven't heard of anyone in your family who knows antiques?
You’re not really so depraved as to sell barbecue, are you?”
Han Guangrong's cheeks trembled slightly, thinking in his mind, I might as well be selling barbecue!
Although I think so in my heart, I won't say this with my mouth: "Sun Ming, Zhao Tianming, you two can't underestimate your brothers so much! In fact, you don't know that my eldest brother has been doing business on the antique street for more than ten years.
No, this morning I accompanied my elder brother to collect a stone lion. Anyway, I don’t see what’s so good about that thing. A stone lion weighs several hundred kilograms, and we finally got it home with great difficulty.”
"ah?"
"ah!"
"Ah, what, isn't it just a stone lion?" Sun Ming said.
"What do you know? Stone lions that can be called antiques are at least from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Such stone lions are rare." Cheng Fengfan said.
"Hey, Cheng Fengfan, do you still understand this? However, if we don't talk about this today, why did you ask your friends to come here today?" Han Guangrong said.
Cheng Fengfan said proudly: "Brothers, I'm going to Longtan today to see the world. I originally wanted you to go and see it together, but I didn't expect that an invitation can only bring one person in, so there is no way. My dad can only bring me."
Go in, so please come and help me pick out a good outfit."
"Cheng Fengfan, you are an authentic second-generation official. Is there anything you haven't seen before? It seems like this is a big event!" Although Han Guangrong pretended not to care, in fact he was very envious in his heart.
"That's right, this is an annual charity dinner. It's originally held at the end of every year. I don't know why, but it's been moved forward this year. Entry starts at 12 o'clock today for antique exchanges, and the one starts at 6 p.m.
A small auction house, the dinner starts at eight o'clock in the evening, and almost everyone with some status in the city will attend today. Do you think it is a big event?" Cheng Fengfan said proudly.
"Oh! Our family is from out of town, so we definitely can't attend a banquet of this level." Sun Ming said enviously.
Zhao Tianming said: "What? We also hold this kind of banquet there every year, like the annual meeting of entrepreneurs or something like that."
"How can your place compare with the Magic City? The number of rich people attending this party includes double-digit billionaires and triple-digit millionaires. A banquet attended by so many rich people is unparalleled by the small counties in your hometown.
Comparison?" Cheng Fengfan squinted at Zhao Tianming and said.
"Okay, don't worry about it here. We'll buy clothes with you, and then you'll treat us as a treat at noon today." Zhao Tianming said unceremoniously.
"That's no problem. My dad gave me a special fund of 5,000 yuan. Please help me refer to it. I only need to buy a suit. We will eat all the rest." Cheng Fengfan took out a card.
, raised his voice.
"Hurry up then, it only costs three or two thousand to buy a better suit." Sun Ming said hurriedly when he heard that there was something delicious.
"Han Rongrong, your brother is also an antique maker. I wonder if your brother has received an invitation letter? You must know that an invitation letter is required to enter the venue, but the threshold for entering the real upper class society is an antique, and it is an antique worth millions.
Since your brother also makes antiques, if he has some ability, he will definitely get an invitation." Cheng Fengfan and the others walked into the pedestrian street, and they talked as they walked.
"You should get it, right? I saw an invitation letter at home last night, but I didn't pay attention. My eldest brother didn't say anything to me." Han Honor said.
Han Guangrong was very confused. Although he often told little lies, he didn't tell any lies this time.
He really saw a maroon invitation on his eldest brother's table. Although Han Kongque put it away after seeing it, it was the first time he had seen that grand and simple invitation, so he was very impressed.
Cheng Fengfan said with a bit of disdain: "Han Guangrong, you can brag in normal times, but you know I will be attending this dinner today, so be careful of bragging."
