Riding the wind of rebirth

Blind selling is actually a kind of credit pledge. The most famous example is in "The Mansion Gate", where Bai Jingqi pawns 2000 taels of silver for a poop.

But that situation is different from now, it's a pawn, it's a buyout.

This is actually Liu Sanye's test of the buyer's trust in him. In today's society, this kind of behavior seems a bit paranoid and unreasonable, because the law does not support such behavior.

However, the third master also has his own rules. If Manager Fei buys out the goods and then goes back on his word, the third master will never cooperate with Manager Fei in the future, and Manager Fei will cut off his trustworthy and important source of goods.

Zhou Zhi analyzed it from a psychological point of view. This is actually because Mr. Liu himself is full of contradictions in his heart.

He mustered up the courage to sell the box, but set up another obstacle that was very unfavorable to the transaction.

If the deal can be done in this way, then he can also attribute it to God's will and give himself an excuse to forgive his behavior.

"If you don't take a look, it will cost 5 yuan?" Manager Fei couldn't help being dumbfounded: "Master, I definitely believe in your character, but I work in a public house and have to be responsible for the shopping mall. Our unit does not have such rules. ..."

"Oh." The third master didn't feel disappointed, but felt a little relieved: "Then forget it, it's okay, you see, it's useless to trouble the two of you to come back, I'm really sorry. Second baby, send it for me Send Teacher Fei and Elbow..."

"Wait a minute." Zhou Zhi said softly, "Third Lord, I want this box."

"What?!" The same sentence came from everyone in the courtyard except Zhou Zhi.

Manager Fei didn't think it was worth it, but the third master and the second baby didn't expect that the baby would be able to take out 5 yuan lightly.

"How did you get so much money, Elbow?" The third master looked in disbelief.

"Old man." Zhou Zhi didn't explain the question at all, and only read out a couplet lightly: "When people are in dire straits, you must be bold, and you must be calm when you think twice."

This is the last work Zhang Daqian wrote to his friends at Wenshu Monastery in Shudu when he left the mainland in [-].Zhou Zhi remembered it when he saw it in Wenshu Monastery, and now he reads it out of his mouth.

"When people are in dire straits, you have to be bold, and when things are double, you have to be calm..." The third master was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and muttered: "When people are in dire straits, you have to be bold, when things are double, you have to be calm..."

"Third Master, with the 5 yuan, you should be able to buy this small courtyard and renovate it, right? Your dream, and the second brother's dream, will come true." Zhou Zhi persuaded: " So I think the couplet in Wenshu Monastery is quite suitable for this time—one needs to be brave in times of difficulty, and one must be calm when dealing with two things.”

"You don't suspect that I cheated on you?" The third master was a little puzzled: "Elbow, this is the first time we have met."

Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "If there is a liar in the world who is as knowledgeable as the third master and can list the books for me, then I will have to admit it."

"When people are in dire straits, you have to be brave, and you have to be calm about things!" The third master was finally relieved, laughed, and stretched out his hand to pat on the box: "I will be taught today! If you give me money, the box will belong to you!"

"Wait!" Manager Fei really didn't expect the two of them to be so childish. If there is any quarrel in the future, both ends will be closely related to him, and then they will be mice in the bellows: "Elbow, have you really thought about it?"

"Yeah, it's still troublesome to give money, and I have to trouble Uncle Fei again."

"Oh, you know that's not what I meant..."

"Then what do you mean?"

"Ah this... ah this..."

"Ah, what, give me the money, I will give it anyway, hey, you don't want me to give you interest, do you?"

"Let's talk about it first. I can advance the money first, but this is entirely between you and the third master."

"Whether it's good or bad, it has nothing to do with me. It can't break the friendship."

"Understood, I will give you another IOU, is that all right?"

"..."

Fortunately, this is just the first one to go out. The cash in the safe of Manager Fei’s car is exactly [-] yuan, plus the [-] yuan brought out by Zhou Zhi himself. .

After loading the boxes into the car, the two said goodbye to the third master and the second baby, and went back to Shudu.

It's okay not to go back. I contacted several companies, but the first one spent all the money I brought out.

"Uncle Fei, drive slowly, don't knock my big bottle upside down..."

"Just your big bottle of 400 yuan?!" Uncle Fei said angrily, "Why don't we stop by the side of the road and open the box first?"

"This won't work. I promised the third master that I can't open it until I reach Shu. But this is not the reason for you to go racing. Anyway, you have already bought it. So what if you look at it early or late?"

"You!" Manager Fei got angry, and suddenly let go of the accelerator: "That's right, it's none of my business! The emperor is not in a hurry for eunuchs!"

Although this is true, but it took more than an hour for the large-scale road, it only took Manager Fei 45 minutes to arrive at the entrance of Gongmei Shopping Mall.

This has not yet finished get off work, put things in the studio, and put the wooden box on the large workbench.

Two experts from Gongmei were also wearing white coats, and they were called here by Manager Fei.

Zhou Zhi picked up the key given to him by the third master, and opened the brass lock on the box.

This box is quite big, but not heavy, which itself is a bit confusing.

However, the surface of the box is full of dirt, making it impossible to see the material.

After opening the box and seeing the lining, everyone suddenly realized that it was a suitcase.

But it is not a Western-style suitcase, but an official leather suitcase of Tibetan patent leather.

"This box is not bad." An expert said: "This Tibetan box is very exquisite in craftsmanship, and it is usually accompanied by patterns. If the patterns are beautiful after restoration...well, it will be worth 3000 yuan."

"This is Teacher Xu, our expert in arts, literature and miscellaneous things." Manager Fei was introducing Zhou Zhi.

"It's a silver buckle." Mr. Xu didn't seem to give the manager much face, or he had fallen into the idea of ​​​​specializing in research: "I took it back just now, and it's already worth three thousand. As for the upper limit, it depends on the exquisiteness of the pattern."

"That's still far away." Manager Fei sneered, "Let's see what's inside."

There is a piece of moisture-proof leather pressed on the surface of the opened box. I don’t know if this is the standard configuration of Tibetan suitcases. When the leather is uncovered, Manager Fei can’t help being furious when he looks inside: “Mr. You're cheating! Let's go back and find him tomorrow!"

Inside the box, it was stuffed to the brim...all paper.

It's not calligraphy, it's not painting, it's just neatly folded paper that has never been used, or it has been used and is just scraps... paper.

Manager Fei reached out and picked up a strip of paper cut to a width of three centimeters and a length of a foot: "What is this?! How dare you sell it for [-]?! I can't stop with Mr. Liu for doing this!"

"Wait! Tip, show me that note!" another old man in a white coat said: "How many times have I told you to use gloves for that thing! You can't change the bad habit you brought from the china counter Is it?!"
