In fact, at the beginning, Qin Fen didn't have much suspicion about the stall owner, but he felt that the stall owner was not as loyal as he seemed on the surface. But after a while of conversation, Qin Fen always felt that there was something different about the old man, even if he didn't say anything.
In addition, a street vendor was well-spoken and very good at observing people's emotions. Moreover, whether it was from his attire or his gestures, this old man always felt that he was a little different from other street vendors.
Through this, Qin Fen felt that the stall owner was not as simple as he seemed, so he would rather spend two thousand yuan to buy a jade pendant to dispel some of his wariness and ask about Huchentang.
.
When he mentioned the words Huchentang, although there was no change in the stall owner's face, his words revealed his concern for Huchentang. This was enough to show that this old man was definitely not just a street vendor.
Lord.
"That's right. I didn't expect that I really made a mistake today. It turns out that you have been an antique collector since you were young!" When the stall owner heard this, he hurriedly clasped his fists.
"Haha, there are no collectors, I just like it!" Qin Fen chuckled and said.
"Everything starts with liking. Seeing that we are so in love, I will tell you something quietly!" At this moment, the stall owner looked around and whispered to Qin Fen.
Qin Fen's face first flashed with curiosity, and then he asked: "What's going on?!"
"That's right. Although this Huchentang is the largest antique store here, most of the things in it are imitations and you can't buy real things at all. I advise you not to go there, be careful to be deceived!"
As soon as these words came out, Qin Fen and Kun Ruosi couldn't help but look at each other, especially Qin Fen who suddenly became confused. According to his own guess, the old man would definitely say that the things in Huchentang are very good, but why would he say that?
Are Huchentang all fakes?! Could it be that this old man has some beef with the people from Huchentang?!
With such questions, Qin Fen's eyes fell on the old man again, then he chuckled and said, "How did you know?!"
"Ahem... don't think I'm just a street vendor, but I know almost everything about this street, and this Huchentang has always bullied the market. In the eyes of peers, their reputation is really bad, but because of the store
Boss Tian Long has some tricks, so most people dare to be angry but dare not speak out!"
When these words came out, Qin Fen was even more surprised. This made no sense at all. If the old man had something to do with Huchentang, why would he smear Huchentang? Could it be that it was really because he had a problem with Huchentang?
??!
"It turns out that there is such a thing, but in the antique business, we must not rely on hearsay. The so-called existence is justified. I think the Huchen Hall can reach its current scale not only because of what you said, but also
Most of the reason for coming here this time is to go to Huchentang. I heard that you can buy a lot of treasures that you can’t see on the market there, so I want to give it a try!”
As Qin Fen spoke, he took the packaged jade Buddha and smiled at the other party.
As soon as he finished speaking, the stall owner was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly and said: "It seems that the two of you are really wealthy owners, and you are right, I just thought that we are in love, so I said a few more words
, it’s up to you to decide for yourself!”
"Well, thank you very much!"
After Qin Fen finished speaking, he gestured to Kun Ruosi, and then the two of them stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute..." Just as the two of them turned around, the stall owner suddenly shouted towards them.
Qin Fen, who had his back to the stall owner, flashed a smile, then slowly turned around and asked in confusion: "Is there anything else?!"
"Oh, haha, that's it. Do you two really want good things?!"
Hearing what the stall owner said, Qin Fen pretended to be stunned for a while, then hurried back to the stall owner and asked in a low voice: "Do you have anything good in your hand?!"
"Haha...I don't have one!" The stall owner hurriedly smiled and waved his hands: "I think if you two are really not short of money, I can introduce you to a channel where you can buy good things!"
"What channel?!"
Seeing Qin Fen's anxious face, the stall owner was moved, silent for a moment, and whispered: "I know a place, and the food they have there is a thousand times or ten thousand times better than Huchen Hall!"
"Really?! Please tell us where it is, and we'll go there now!" Qin Fen suddenly became excited.
"Well..."
Seeing the stall owner taking action, Kunruosi on the side had an idea and smiled at the stall owner: "Boss, just tell us, and I'll pay you the information fee!"
The stall owner saw the expressions of the two people and wanted to spend money to buy information. He immediately became excited and said hurriedly: "Don't mention the money. It's not that I don't want to say it, but they are not a shop, but a private auction. And
The time and place of each event are uncertain, and not everyone can participate. Those who can attend, apart from having money, must be people who know each other, because you know that in order to avoid some trouble, you must often
Be more careful!"
Hearing this, Qin Fen suddenly understood that there was only one possibility for this so-called private small auction with such strict requirements. There must be something wrong with the origin of the things in their hands.
At that moment, Qin Fen rolled his eyes, and then his eyes fell on the stall owner. He smiled mysteriously and said: "Boss, since the other party's auction is so secretive, how could you, a street vendor, know about it?!"
When the stall owner heard this, a strange look finally flashed across his face. He raised his head and glanced at the two of them, and said with a smile: "Haha, I haven't been hanging around here for a day, two days, a year or two, and I don't have any other skills.
, it’s easy to get some news!”
"That's true." Qin Fen nodded and said with doubts on his face again: "But since you said that the other party's auction is so mysterious, and it must be introduced by an acquaintance, then it may not be easy for us to participate, right?
!”
"Well, what you mentioned is indeed a problem, but it is not impossible. I heard that every time they have new friends to participate, it is basically through the introduction of fiber drawing, and then they can just give them a commission." The old man said.
After nodding, he said again.
"Haha, to be honest, you can't find this information casually, so you are a slimmer?!" Qin Fen asked with a chuckle.
"Haha, I'm not. Don't get me wrong. To be honest, I know a guy who pulls fiber. I just heard that you wanted to buy some good things, so I thought of it. But if you are not interested,
Just pretend I didn't say anything!" The stall owner laughed hastily and shook his head.
"Why aren't you interested? If what you said is true and I happen to have bought something good, I will definitely not miss out on your share!"
Qin Fen immediately put on a serious look.
"Hey, it's easy to talk. Let's take some time to contact my friend to see if there is such an auction recently. If so, I will introduce you to him. If the other party thinks it is okay, he will definitely bring him.
It’s your past! Of course, the premise is that it must be kept secret!”
"I understand this!"
"Well, if it's convenient, leave a phone number and I'll call you if there's any news!" The stall owner nodded immediately.
Qin Fen hesitated for a moment and finally told the other party his phone number. Then Qin Fen got up and left the stall with Kun Ruosi.
When the two of them had just walked away, a mysterious smile appeared on the kind face of the stall owner, and then he took out his mobile phone and dialed...
"Brother Qin Fen, this stall owner looks very simple!" Kun Ruosi whispered to Qin Fen.
"It's really not simple. He doesn't look like a street vendor at all, but more like a 'fisher'!"
"Fishing?!" Kun Ruosi frowned.
"Haha, let's put it this way, in his eyes, we are just fish, but I always feel that something is not right. This person seems to have something to do with Huchentang!" Qin Fen chuckled and said.
"I think you are overthinking. The reason why this person said something bad about Huchentang is to highlight the power of the so-called auction! I actually think that he and Huchentang are opposed!" Kun Ruosi said.
Qin Fen was silent for a moment, then nodded and said: "Maybe so!"
Although Qin Fen said this, there was something wrong with the expression on his face. When Kun Ruosi saw the other party's expression, he didn't ask any more questions, but changed the topic and asked curiously: "Who did you just say about slimming?"
What do you mean, why can’t I understand it?!”
"Haha, this is an insider's term in the antique shop. Laxian actually means a middleman. He is responsible for connecting buyers and sellers. When the time comes, he will get 10% of the sale and give him some commission. Generally, it is 3% for the seller and 2% for the buyer.
That is to say, three will break two.”
"I didn't expect that there are so many rules in this industry!" Kun Ruosi couldn't help but clicked his tongue.
"Of course, otherwise I would say that this area is very deep and there are traps everywhere, so you must be careful when you go to the antique street alone in the future, or you might fall into someone else's trap!"
After Qin Fen finished speaking, he followed the guidance of the previous stall owner and continued walking forward. Kun Ruosi lowered his head and muttered a few words, and hurriedly followed.
As the two walked, they wandered around some stalls for a while. After inquiring, they finally arrived at the entrance of Huchen Hall.
"This is it!"
Qin Fen looked up at the gold-plated plaque with the three characters "Huchentang" written on it, and said calmly.
Kun Ruosi beside him also took a look at the store plaque, and then turned his eyes to the inside of the store. He saw that the store was open at this moment, and there were many customers inside to choose things. Kun Ruosi suddenly raised his eyebrows.
Frowning, he asked Qin Fen in a low voice: "Brother Qin Fen, something has happened to Tian Long and Xie Zi. Don't the people in this store know?!"
"It's hard to say now. Isn't it true that there is a big boss behind the scenes of Huchentang?! Maybe the other party doesn't know yet. There is another possibility that the other party already knows, but he doesn't dare to close the store easily! Let's go.
, let’s go in and take a look first!”
While talking, Qin Fen was already walking towards the store.
