After listening to Fang Linyan's request, Boss He smiled slightly and opened his business to welcome customers. What kind of customers has he not seen before?
He had already been mentally prepared for Fang Linyan's words. It was nothing more than paying with one hand and delivering the goods with the other hand. As long as cash was needed, no banknotes were required. If the transaction was successful, he would even ask the guy next to him to accompany him for the night. So he nodded and said:
"Speaking."
However, Boss He's smile soon became a little stiff.
Because Fang Linyan's words were really hard for him to accept.
"First, this cup will not be sold now. It will not be officially sold until four hours later."
"Second, in principle, this cup is not sold for money. It only accepts barter, and only exchanges for things of the same level."
"Third, if Boss He is interested in it, come to...Xu Ji Inn to find me in four hours."
"Finally, because of the personal relationship between Master San and Boss He, I will reveal one more thing. This time, the items brought out are not one, but two. In addition to this tea set, there is also a famous knife of the same quality.
"
After finishing speaking, Fang Linyan stood up, smiled and asked Boss He to put the cup in his hand on the table, then took it back himself, and Shi Shiran walked out.
When Li San saw this scene, he was so impressed that he was convinced that Mr. Hu Liu was indeed from a wealthy family and had extraordinary aura.
Boss He is usually kind, but when dealing with him, he always tries his best to kill himself, and the sense of superiority he exudes makes people feel very uncomfortable, but you still have no way to find fault.
As a result, this old fox was completely at a disadvantage in front of Mr. Hu Liu today. The two of them neither argued nor slapped the table. Mr. Hu just smiled and whispered a few words, and Boss He became obviously dejected.
When I got downwind, I didn't even dare to say a word.
This is really a role reversal, the clown suddenly turned into Lao He.
However, when Fang Linyan walked to the door, Boss He couldn't help but retaliate:
"Master Hu Liu, with all due respect, although your cup looks good, it's just not bad. I won't go there after four hours."
Fang Linyan heard what he said and smiled and said:
"If you can say something like this, it only means that your level is not good enough. If the big owner of your store was here, he probably wouldn't say that."
"You know, my uncle and Zuo Zongtang both admired this cup and played with it for a long time. If you say it's not bad, does that mean that my uncle and Zuo are not discerning enough?"
Boss He was shocked after hearing this:
"I, I didn't say that!!......Master Zuo!!! Who is Uncle Gui?"
Fang Linyan laughed and walked directly into the darkness.
Li San next to him was stunned, and the look in his eyes toward Fang Linyan could only be described as admiration.
All kinds of vulgar complimentary words in his heart - most of which are related to cows or female human reproductive organs - have flowed out like a torrent of river water.
As for why there are only vulgar compliments, it's because you can't expect a guy who has made snitches and thieves as his lifelong career to have good cultural qualities and an elegant social circle. After all, there is only one thief like Chu Liuxiang in the world.
.
For a small person like Li San, who is also very sensitive to reputation, of course he is unhappy with the contempt from those in high positions, just like the contemptuous look from boss He, and the air of indifference and superiority.
However, although Li San was unhappy, he could only endure it, because even in his own heart, he had to sadly admit that the other party's contempt was justified.
However, precisely because of this unhappiness, when Fang Linyan faced Boss He with the same indifferent attitude, Li San felt that his thoughts were clear in an instant, and he also felt an indescribable pleasure.
Seeing the superiors being bullied is one of the sources of pleasure for the inferiors. When the princes and nobles were beheaded, the large number of people who came to watch uninvited was the ironclad proof. For this reason, these people would even complain about it in taverns and chatting.
I was full of excitement and arguments for several days.
And there is no doubt that the bigger the official, the higher his title, the more people will come to watch.
Therefore, Li San now couldn't help but change himself from an employee to a follower, because in this way he would feel closer and more like a team with Mr. Hu Liu.
***
Four hours later,
Fang Linyan was already sitting in the upper room of Xuji Inn in Tianjin. He was drinking oil tea and eating pancakes and fruits.
They only visited three stores in total.
After hearing the news, the shopkeeper, butler and others rushed over and were surrounded.
All the hard work and hard work are just for the word "profit". Fang Linyan, the once infamous abandoned son of a wealthy family, has brought them enough profits, which of course will attract the flies and butterflies flying in pursuit of profit.
In the final analysis, Fang Linyan still underestimated the power of the label "valuable object" given to the tea cup that defined the space, until Lao Chaofeng of the third store said the word "national treasure" in a trembling voice!!
Only then did Fang Linyan realize that his previous judgment seemed to be a bit wrong. If he had known it, he would have been even more rude to Boss He!
Yes, everything judged as valuables are national treasures!!!
And it is also recognized as a national treasure by many countries!!
The meaning of this sounds a bit confusing, but it is actually not difficult to understand. For example, the original copy of the Mayflower Compact, a piece of torn paper covered with the handprints of criminals, must be a national treasure to a certain country, but to Asian countries it is
A piece of waste paper.
Another example is the golden seal given to the King of Korea by Emperor Yongle. This thing is undoubtedly a national treasure of China and of course a national treasure of Korea.
Another example is the Huaisetsu Moriho teacup, which was first collected by Tang Bohu, a great master of the Ming Dynasty. However, it eventually flowed into Japan and was collected by Ashikaga Yoshiki, the shogun who loved tea ceremony, and was named Fujisan.
Let’s not talk about Tang Bohu’s famous name. Among the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, his name should be among the top three most famous ones. What’s more, his other identity is the world’s best erotic painter?
This place is number one in the world, and you can even add the word "everlasting" to it.
Although Japan's Ashikaga Yoshiteru is not well-known in China, during Japan's Warring States Period, he was also the shogun and nominally ruled the entire Japan.
To describe it as a historical figure in China, it is equivalent to the Emperor of Zhou during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. He nominally had jurisdiction over the princes, but in fact had no control over him. However, his status was unquestionably noble.
How could such artifacts not make the entire cultural and antique market in Tianjin Port abuzz with excitement?
Faced with such a valuable treasure, some people even thought of illegal means. Fortunately, someone quickly recognized Li San next to Fang Linyan and gave up the idea after realizing that this top snitch was accompanying him.
Fang Linyan was about to finish his breakfast, and found that many well-known people had come down below, and they were all whispering to each other.
Fortunately, Xu Ji Inn is also a fifty-year-old establishment. It has a spacious place and many staff.
When the innkeeper saw so many wealthy gentry and celebrities gathered here, he didn't need Fang Linyan's instructions at all, so he stepped forward with a smile to receive them. This was a great opportunity to open up his shop's sign.
Fang Linyan then stood up, made a round bow and then said:
"There are too many gentlemen here today, so I can't receive them all. I'm very sorry. I will definitely come to you in the future to apologize. I have put the two things in the room upstairs."
"After every gentleman came to the store according to the instructions, I asked the third master to issue a bamboo card with a number on it. The earlier he arrived, the higher the number. For example, shopkeeper Liu from Tuisizhai was the first
A man came to the store to support his brother, so the bamboo card he got was number one."
Shopkeeper Liu, who was named, immediately felt honored and hurriedly nodded and smiled at his colleagues.
At this time, shopkeeper Liu had a strong sense of superiority in choosing a girl, but in the end, he chose the oiran among the competition.
Fang Linyan then added:
"Next, everyone should go to the room in the order of your number plate. Sirs who are willing to wait can drink tea and wait here. This way we can avoid a swarm of swarms coming up and causing chaos. If you want to discuss it with your own people, you can also
You can talk whatever you want in the room."
"Then I will tell you two more rules. You can only bring three people in with one bamboo sign. This is because the place is too small. It is not convenient if there are many people. The second rule is that when each gentleman enters, I will click
A stick of incense, when the stick of incense is burned out, it must be taken out."
"Finally, let me tell you how to deal with these two items. After all gentlemen, write down the items you are willing to trade on paper and give them to me privately. I will choose the ones you want most from them, and only the ones that win the bid will be
I will announce the items, and I will keep the other gentlemen’s quotes confidential.”
After listening to Fang Linyan's request, the bosses and Chao Feng had nothing to say. Instead, they felt that this young man had a good way of doing things, and the methods he came up with were reasonable. He was smart and capable, and he was neither humble nor overbearing in his dealings with people. He was generous. Some even started soliciting.
thought.
And Fang Linyan's identity is not a secret. After all, he has already revealed himself to Boss He. At this time, the antique bosses sat together and had nothing to do, so they started chatting.
Soon I knew that the person in front of me was the sixth son of the Hu family. I immediately felt in my heart that the skinny camel was indeed bigger than the horse. The notorious sixth son of the Hu family actually managed business in a decent manner.
Soon, four or five groups of people were finished. Surprisingly, after these four or five groups of people were finished, they all chatted with Fang Linyan, and three groups actually left directly!
Seeing this scene, Li San became a little impatient and couldn't help but whisper to Lin Yan:
"Sir, would you like to lower your requirements? Xie Chaofeng, who just left, is famous for his eye in Tianjin Wei. If he leaves, it will have a big impact on the reputation of our products."
Fang Linyan smiled and said:
"There are two types of people leaving now. The first is because they want to pick up the leaks and realize that there are no leaks to pick up. The second is because after hearing my request, they hurriedly went to collect the things for the transaction."
Sure enough, as time went by, there were more than ten waves of people. Although many people left, many came back.
What's more important is that new people came to join this temporary auction, so that the queue of bamboo signs prepared by Fang Linyan was not enough, so he had to make temporary ones.
So the waiting time continued to extend, and Fang Linyan seemed a little helpless about this. After all, if someone joins, it means there are more potential buyers, right?
Not only that, Fang Linyan also saw a Japanese man wearing a kimono in the waiting area, and he didn't feel anything strange about this.
In Fang Linyan's senses, the Japanese military/politicians and the Japanese people are two things that can be completely separated.
The former has committed all kinds of evil and committed numerous blood debts. He should be nailed to a pillar of history and whipped forever.
The latter is completely different, representing Akira Toriyama, Fujiko Fujio, Takehiko Inoue, Eiichiro Oda, Laura Takizawa, Momoe Yamaguchi, Yu Mitsuki, etc., which are memories of childhood or youth for many people.
Even the old lady selling steaming fish balls on the street, the office workers trotting to the office building, the mother carrying a basket to buy groceries, the urchin shouting "Elephant Elephant", the naughty child pulling off half of his beautiful teeth,
Even the hooligans who hang out on the street, the porters who are so tired and sweaty...
These people, like most Chinese, Americans, Indians, Russians, and British people, can only drift in the fixed direction of life under the inertia of history. They have never wanted to cause harm to anyone. They have
The hope of living is either to get rich, to live a long life, to marry a beautiful wife, or to show off the new show you just released in your circle of friends.
They have no sin.
Therefore, Fang Linyan treated the Japanese who bought these things with a normal heart, and their pious and enthusiastic expressions also made Fang Linyan very satisfied... Yes, nothing is more popular with sellers than enthusiastic buyers.
So at 12 o'clock at noon, Fang Linyan began to formally collect notes from each company. To be precise, they were quotations written on the notes.
More than twenty pieces of paper were quickly finished,
Then Fang Linyan picked out five pieces of paper, but after hesitating for a moment, he picked out one piece, which was six pieces of paper.
Then he handed these six notes to Li San, allowing the thief to usher in the most glorious moment in his life, asking him to announce the winners of the first round. Although it felt a bit like the eunuch in charge was announcing
List of concubines whose names were turned over.
But for Li San, facing the expectant and longing eyes of so many big people below, and knowing that his next words will determine their happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy for a period of time, he was already so excited that his mouth went dry!
This excitement even stimulated the strong secretion of his male hormones, so much so that Li San began to seriously consider going to the acquaintance Widow Yang and the younger Sister Li to vent his anger later.
Of course, in the end, he was a little arrogant and even came up with a long-lost bold idea:
I'm in such good shape today, maybe I can consider doing a multiple-choice question?
