Master Qi's face was startled. What A Bing said was very clear. I think he should have known my identity by now. I was also a little surprised. A Bing was not the kind of impulsive person, so why did he take my
How about revealing his identity to the other party? But I think he must have his reasons for doing so.
Master Qi's expression became more enthusiastic. He was a little casual at first and now he has become more serious. At least he no longer said those arrogant jokes.
Finally, under his arrangement, we moved into a courtyard house. It is said that this is a private residence owned by Master Qi. Not many people usually know about it, but this time he made an exception and allowed us to move in.
After Master Qi left, he explained the reason before I asked A Bing. "Brother Wang, in Beijing, although skills are important, the most important thing is relationships and status. The people here are too complicated. The masters in the industry
I also caught a lot of them. I, A Bing, have been here before, and I must know more about this place than you do. Without fame and ability, it is simply impossible to get along here. If you have ability but no fame, it will be as difficult as climbing.
God. If you have some reputation, such as a good background and family background, you can be respected by people here. Brother Wang, if you want to develop here in the future, the halo on your head must always be on. It’s not that important here.
Things like hiding one's capabilities and biding one's time and being modest, make use of everything you can, and only then can you be prosperous."
This statement is very straightforward, and I also heard some truth. In fact, with the development of the times, no matter which profession you are in, the requirements for identity have become more and more important. "Princes, generals, ministers, and ministers have the right kind."
, now it seems to be getting weaker and weaker, and there are fewer and fewer successful people from grassroots backgrounds. This is also the cruelty of reality.
"Haha, Brother Wang, this time I have benefited from you. It is not easy for ordinary people to come in to Master Qi's house. Haha, now I, A Bing, can be considered to have some face."
I could tell that there was a hint of resentment in his words. It was easy to understand that he had been in this industry for some years and had more than ten or twenty years of experience than me, but in the end he was not as good as
As a young guy like me, I get more attention, so I naturally feel aggrieved. In fact, I am also blessed by my ancestors, and it has nothing to do with my own efforts. I can totally imagine that if I were not the Rat King,
His grandson is definitely no one here.
I stayed here for three days in total. Just when I was feeling a little impatient, news came from A Bing again. The three Cui brothers had arrived in Beijing and decided to finalize the deal tomorrow night.
I let out a sigh of relief. Everyone knows that there are long nights and many dreams. If this matter continues to be delayed, I will consider whether to let go.
Originally, I thought that such a secret transaction should be conducted in a remote and uninhabited corner, or directly in the Panjiayuan Market, using a plank road to reach Chencang secretly, but I didn't expect that the other party asked us to meet in a courtyard.
When we arrived, it was just the beginning of the lanterns. The weather in the south was already very hot, but it was still very cool in Beijing. Especially at night, people who had been busy all day would walk on the road with their families in tow, blowing in the evening breeze, and surrounded by family affection.
They are playing and having fun, and they are also satisfied and living happily.
"Hey, the two bosses are here, please come in, please come in." The fat Cui Yin stood at the gate, looking at us with a smile, just like a Maitreya Buddha. But I felt that his smile was special
It’s fake, and there’s still an indescribable smell.
We followed into the main room. As soon as we stepped across the threshold, we saw something placed on the Eight Immortals table in the middle of the living room. After just one glance, we couldn't help but feel shocked.
It was a bronze vessel, forty centimeters high, with eight sides and eight corners, like two tripods put together. There was a dragon-shaped carving on each of the four upper corners, and there were numbers on each of the four planes.
The ten inscriptions, with many patterns on the whole, look very exquisite, it is simply a perfect work of art.
"Bronze Zun." I immediately affirmed its identity. This is definitely a very rare "Bronze Zun". It can be imagined that anything with the word "Zun" is an artifact used by people of high status.
, looking at the size and specifications of this bronze statue, its owner must be a prince.
Moreover, the age of this thing is also very old. I can estimate it just by looking at it. It is definitely from before the Qin Dynasty. After being preserved in such a complete way, the value of this thing is limitless.
I'm a little worried. I didn't expect to encounter something of such good quality. If I were caught, it would be a crime of losing my head. Another thing, I'm worried that neither of us would be able to eat this thing. I'm afraid
, even if I sell my shop, I may not be able to survive.
A Bing and I looked at each other. He was also a knowledgeable person, and his eyes were full of surprise and shock. But he was much calmer than me, and there was still a slight excitement in his eyes. He also understood the value of this thing. If
If he could get it, it would be worth a sky-high price to resell it, and it would probably be enough to keep him busy for at least several years. And his family is much richer than mine, so I wouldn't be surprised if he could eat it up.
At this time, Boss Cui and the third boss walked out of the inner door. When they saw us, they greeted us warmly and were polite like hosts. "Welcome, welcome, the two bosses are here. It's really brilliant! Haha!"
I felt a little strange in my heart. From his tone, it seemed like this was their territory. Could this courtyard be their property?
Naturally, some conversation was inevitable. After some polite remarks, A Bing began to talk about the main topic. "Two gentlemen, now we are here. This is all in accordance with your request. Do you think we should talk about this deal?"
What happened?"
Cui Lao'er sent us in and left. The third child and the boss looked at each other and smiled together. The younger brother, who looked more tactful, waved his hands and said: "No hurry, no hurry, the two bosses are far away."
Come, let’s have a cup of tea first, have a rest, and then talk.” After that, the third child came over and poured us a cup of tea himself.
I felt something was wrong, but I didn't say it clearly. Instead, I turned around and said, "This house is in a good location. It's not easy to buy a house in Beijing these days. I don't know how much money this house is worth."
.”
"Haha, that's right. Prices have skyrocketed these days. It's really not easy to get a decent house. Although this house is a little smaller, it's still worth hundreds of thousands. You guys..."
"Brother, we are in business." Cui Yu patted the back of Boss Cui's hand and interrupted him.
