Fragrant shoes are strictly prohibited
At night, the fat man counted the money one by one under the lamp, over and over again, but he couldn't count clearly. No wonder he was there. It was the first time I saw so much money and I was confused.
The fat man simply stopped counting, lit a cigarette and smoked while saying to me: Old Hu, what do you want me to say about you? You are smart all your life, but you are confused for a while. How can you say that this money is borrowed?
I have to pay back the interest on that American girl, so I think we should withdraw, go back to our hometown in the south, and let her never find her again, which will make her anxious to death.
I said: You are so worthless, this small amount of money is nothing. In the future, I will take you to take out a few pieces of domestic goods and exchange them for you, which will be enough to pay her back. What we lack now is this little capital. With money, we can
Don't worry about what to eat tomorrow. Only when you have funds can you buy some good equipment. From now on, let's re-patch and open a new business. Be prepared. I will definitely have a big fight.
The two of us put it together and realized that the ancient tombs hidden in the deep mountains and old forests are not that easy to find. We are not sure when we will find them. Although the money is a lot, we are afraid that it will be nothing.
The fat man is a business-minded person. He thinks that the business at Dajinya is good. Dealing with antiques is definitely a huge profit industry, especially selling to foreigners. However, foreigners who often come to China now have learned a lot and are not easy to cheat.
But as long as there is really good stuff, there is no need to worry about them being reluctant to spend money.
The fat man said: Lao Hu, let’s invest some money to open a shop and collect some antiques and artifacts to sell. Maybe if we do it, we won’t have to fight back and forth. Although fighting back and forth can make money quickly, it’s really not easy to do.
.
I nodded and said: That's a good idea. Fatty, you have a very bright mind. Now that we have funds, we can start from a small place and learn some knowledge about antique appraisal.
So I searched everywhere for a shop, but never found a suitable place. Then I gave up looking for a shop and decided to get some things to set up a street stall in Panjiayuan. The characteristic of Panjiayuan is that it is miscellaneous. There are all kinds of things from ancient and modern times, Chinese and foreign, big and small.
, but very valuable artifacts are relatively rare. They are traded privately and are rarely sold on the market.
As soon as we received the advice from Da Jinya, we collected some small items such as pots, bowls, jars, old money, snuff bottles, and pocket watches in the suburbs, and bought them at the antique market.
Maybe I am not destined to be a businessman in this life, and my vision is not accurate. When collecting things, I took the worthless things as treasures. When I collected the more valuable things, I was not sure, so I sold them as ordinary objects.
, I haven’t made much money all the time, but I have also lost a lot.
However, when we collected these gadgets, we didn’t spend too much money. It didn’t matter if we lost some money. The main thing was to practice our eyesight and gain more knowledge. Only after hanging out in Panjiayuan for a long time did we know this.
There are so many things in this industry that are so deep, even more complex than Feng Shui, and cannot be learned overnight.
Speaking of which, it was almost noon on this day, and the antique market seemed a bit deserted. There were not many people. Fatty Da Jinya and I gathered around and beat each other fast.
While we were fighting vigorously, suddenly a man came in front and stood in front of our stall, wandering around without leaving. The fat man thought he wanted to see something, so he asked: What's the matter, sir, what do you want to see?
The man hesitated and said: "Don't look at anything. Do you accept antiques?"
I raised my head and looked around, and saw that the person who came was about thirty-six or seventeen years old, with purple-red skin. It looked like he often did farm work in the sun. He was dressed in rustic clothes, carrying a broken leather bag, and had a mouthful.
Loess Gaopo accent.
I thought to myself that this man might have some antiques, so I looked at Da Jinya. Da Jinya was an expert. Although this fellow was unattractive and filthy, I didn't dare to look down on him, so he winked at me and signaled.
I stabilized him and asked him clearly before I spoke.
I took out my cigarette and handed it to this fellow, lit it for him, and asked him to sit down and talk.
The fellow had obviously never seen much of the world and didn't know much about socializing. He sat on the horse I handed him, clutching his broken leather bag tightly and saying nothing.
I looked at his tattered leather bag and thought that this guy was not a thief, as if he had done something bad, or that there was something valuable in his bag. I tried to keep my tone as calm as possible and asked
Said: Brother, come on, you're welcome, smoke, this is cloud smoke, what do you call it?
The fellow said: Call Li Chunlai. He might not be used to sitting on the horse, so he pushed the horse away and squatted on the ground. As soon as he squatted, he seemed much more relaxed, and his smoking movements became more agile.
Da Jinya and Fatty pretended to continue playing cards. This is how this business is. There should not be too many people talking. Firstly, this is a rule, and secondly, they are afraid of scaring away customers. Generally, people who want to sell antiques are nervous and are afraid of being betrayed.
People targeted and robbed it.
I smoked and asked with a smile: So your surname is Li. Seeing that you are older than me, I will call you brother, Brother Chunlai. You just asked us if we would accept antiques. What's the matter? You have something to show for it.
Li Chunlai was puzzled: Very Mingqi
When I saw it turned out to be a dish, I asked him directly if he had any antiques or other things he wanted to sell and could he let me take a look.
Li Chunlai looked around and whispered: I have a pair of shoes, how much can you give me?
I was very angry when I heard that you still wanted to sell your worn-out shoes for money. I’m afraid no one would want to take the money. Without saying anything, I immediately thought that it might not be that simple here, so I asked patiently: What kind of shoes are they?
whose shoes
Li Chunlai saw that I was kinder and a little bolder, so he opened a small slit in his leather bag and asked me to look inside. I stretched my neck and took a look. In Li Chunlai's broken leather bag, there was an ancient three-inch golden lotus.
Embroidered shoes.
Li Chunlai quickly closed the broken leather bag without waiting for me to take a closer look, as if the shoe flew off if I took another look.
I said, what do you think? Take it out and let me see it. I haven't seen it clearly yet. Where did you get these shoes?
Li Chunlai said: Boss, just tell me the price if you want it, and don’t worry about anything else.
I said: Brother Chunlai, you have to let me take it in my hand and take a look at it. I don’t know clearly how to quote the price. I lowered my voice and said: Are you afraid that this person has too much eyesight? Why don’t I invite you to go to the restaurant in front and eat the whole thing?
Dumplings stuffed with meatballs and mutton. I often go to that dumpling restaurant to discuss business. It’s very quiet. I think it will be a really good thing when the time comes. We can negotiate the price. Do you think it’s okay?
When Li Chunlai heard about eating dumplings stuffed with mutton, he was so greedy that he swallowed his saliva: "It's very good. Let's not bask in the warmth under the sun. If anything happens, we can talk about it after eating the dumplings in sour soup."
