Chapter 180 You need to be cautious when entering the industry
"A catastrophe is coming?"
Before I could react, Douyazai heard this and immediately laughed and said: "The place is big and there are all kinds of birds. A disaster is coming. Do you want to charge us money to help crack it? Fengzi, do you remember? Lanzhou Chicken Feet"
This is exactly the same routine!"
The man who gave me the poem shook his head and said: "I don't want your money. As for your matter, we can help or not. If you believe me, come to this place at 12:30 tonight and find me. I will wait for you there."
"
He seemed to have been prepared for it and handed me a note.
There was a line of address written in calligraphy on the paper.
"Hey, I just paid ten yuan, do you still want to write?"
This man dropped ten yuan and left the stall without saying a word or looking at me.
I watched from a distance as he disappeared at the end of the antique market with a cloth bag and a flashlight in hand.
"Come on, stop looking. He's just a liar trying to steal money." Dou Sprout pushed me.
I put the note close to my body and continued walking forward.
After passing the public toilet, there is a copperware shop. This place is a little out of the way and there are not that many people. I caught a glimpse of a young woman looking at the stall. This woman was wearing a thick cotton coat and had a Persian cat lying on her lap. She had her eyes closed.
Eyes.
I winked at Dou Sprouts.
"Sister Chi?"
"Sister Chi!" Dou Sprout shouted while standing in front of the stall.
"It's calling a ghost! I'm not dead!"
The young woman opened her eyes, glanced at me with some dissatisfaction, and asked me what she wanted to buy.
I knelt down and pretended to pick up a porcelain bowl on the table.
"Hello, we were introduced by Pi Huang to a man named Chi Santong."
The young woman yawned.
"Huang Pi, I've heard of it. I'm not too familiar with it. I'm just Chi Santong. Come with me. Xiao Zhou will help me look at the stall. I'll come back as soon as I go."
The young woman led us into the bronze shop.
She turned on the light.
"What kind of goods do you want to put in? Take it out and take a look."
I nodded, took off my backpack, took out two pottery figures and stood them on the table.
The woman just glanced at it without touching it.
"this one?"
I nodded.
"How many are there?"
I said: "There are 26 good ones, and a dozen have been repaired. The total number is about 50."
"It's all like this, without any color?"
I shook my head: "No, they are all the same, but the postures of the pottery figurines are different."
She heard the words and smiled and said: "There are postures. I have been doing this for so many years, but I have never seen any postures before."
"I can collect hundreds of uncolored gray pottery figurines from the late Tang Dynasty a year. Didn't you say about 50? I won't choose between good and bad. I'll give you a total of 25,000 yuan."
"Ah? 25,000?" Dou Sprout's eyes almost popped out of his head.
"500 yuan each!"
"You're playing with us!"
"Dolls are more expensive than this!"
Douyazai is not lying. Last time we were at the Range Rover Theater in Yinchuan, the imported Barbie doll we bought for Uncle Hu Lu’s daughter cost 600 yuan. I didn’t expect that the thousand-year-old figure in front of me was not as expensive as the Barbie doll.
She shook her head and said with a smile: "Young man, you have to ask around in Immortal Palace. I never give random prices. I still have a lot of these things in my warehouse. I only sell them for 1,000 yuan. I still have to bear the risk. You guys
Just sell it, or forget it if you don’t sell it, I don’t really want it yet.”
"Not for sale!"
"let's go!"
Dou Yazi pushed me out of the copper shop angrily.
After coming out, Douyazai whispered: "Don't panic, Fengzi, everything is planned by me, she will definitely come out to find us."
result.
We waited for a long time, but the woman didn't come to call us.
Bean Sprouts instantly felt like a deflated balloon, and said with a sad face: "It's over, Fengzi, I bought it for 100,000 yuan, but I lost 80,000 yuan, and I still have to buy 40,000 yuan worth of wine, so I lost 120,000 yuan! Two days of work for nothing.
Ah! I feel uncomfortable all over!"
I kicked him angrily.
I said why the hell are you feeling uncomfortable!
The 100,000 yuan is all my money! It’s not yours!
Only then did Dou Sprout react and said that was fine.
I have already seen their attitude. Even if I go to talk to him, I can only add a few thousand yuan to the total price, and the difference is still very big.
No matter how you calculate it, this trip is all lost.
That’s why I say that tomb robbing is risky and you need to be cautious when entering the industry.
What a shame.
Not wanting to hang myself from a tree, I took the risk and asked the other two stall owners. They all gave similar prices, and none of them cost more than a thousand yuan per unit.
Let alone making money now, we can only maintain capital if the unit price of pottery exceeds 2,000.
"Ya Zai, don't talk nonsense when you get back. Just say that we are discussing the price of the things. Don't say anything else. Do you understand? I'm afraid it will affect everyone's enthusiasm."
"I know Fengzi, don't worry."
.......
On the way back by taxi, I took out the small piece of paper in my trouser pocket and looked at it a few times, falling into deep thought.
....
"came back!"
"How is it? How much is it?"
Xiaoxuan asked excitedly after returning to the hotel.
Douyazai said loudly: "We are negotiating the price with the bosses. A pottery man costs 500 yuan."
"Ah! How could it be!"
Xiaoxuan was surprised and said: "Why is it only 500 yuan each?"
Xiaomi on the side also heard the price and was equally disappointed.
I gave Dou Sprout a hard look.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. There are thousands of them each. Two families are vying to get them. We are in talks and we don't know who to sell them to yet. The one with the highest price will definitely get it."
I really want to kick Bean Sprouts to death.
He promised not to say anything just before he came back, but he just said it when he came back.
This is my first job as a leader, and I don’t want to disappoint those who are following me.
In fact, I have already planned it. If I pay, I will pay. The morale of the team cannot be reduced.
If you can't, you can put in 200,000 yuan yourself, and each person will get 50,000 yuan.
After all, I took such a big risk and worked hard for two nights without even earning a single penny.
If I stop them from making money, who will work with me in the future?
In hindsight, Lao Pi is the biggest winner.
Looking at the little pottery figures standing on the floor of the hotel, I sighed helplessly, thinking how great it would be if these were little golden figures.
I took out my cell phone and made a call.
"Hey, Lao Pi, have you had lunch yet?"
"Hehe, Mr. Xiang, hehe, I wish you good fortune. What are you doing to me? It's impossible to get your money back."
I laughed on the phone and said, "What the hell, I don't understand the rules? It's normal to lose money or make money in this job. I'm not talking to you about this. I want to ask you about a person, Qin Huaihu, a poet from Xi'an. Do you know this person?"
heard about it."
"Xi'an poet..."
"I think I heard a good friend of mine say that he writes letters for people in the market. He usually works as a volunteer at the Second Welfare Institute. I don't know about the others. I have never come into contact with this person."
After hanging up the phone, I closed my eyes and rubbed my temples, feeling a little tired.
At this moment, I suddenly felt a wave of relief on my shoulders.
Xiaomi smiled behind me and said: "Brother Feng, I see you haven't eaten on time these days. You must be tired. I'll give you a massage. I've learned this from others before."
I wanted to refuse, but it was really comfortable and my shoulders were no longer sore instantly.
"Bang bang bang!"
I was enjoying Xiaomi's massage with my eyes closed, when suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door.
"Who is it?" My nerves tensed up instantly.
"I, the innkeeper, excuse me."
"A police officer is here to check your ID card. Please cooperate."
I heard someone say a routine inspection outside the door to check my ID card.
Xiaomi and I turned pale.
Why?
Because now there are dozens of pottery figures standing on the floor of the living room, many of which are still covered in dirt.
