hunting in 1986

Chapter 185 Table 184, Liam came to the door and followed

Wang Yuan didn't expect Zhao Xing's reaction to be so fast, he just asked a question and the other party guessed that the table was extraordinary.

Zhao Xing stroked the texture on the table with his right hand, and said with a smile: "It's so beautiful, look at how beautiful the pattern is... Tsk tsk, what's so important about Wang Yuan's table?"

"There's a fart behind it."

Wang Yuan was quite disdainful, and said: "I just wanted to buy it because I saw the table looks good. Look how the legs of the table are worn out. Do you still think he has a big background? Just wishful thinking."

He understood that if he showed his heart more, then Zhao Xing, who was as smart as Zhao Xing, would definitely not sell it. He would show more disdain, and Zhao Xing would not care so much about the table.

"That's right...then you gaha want to buy it?"

"My grandpa likes these old tables. Sell them to me for 50 yuan. This 50 yuan is enough for you to buy 3 new tables of the same size."

"50 yuan? What about sending a beggar? At least 200 yuan!" Zhao Xing smiled at the corner of his mouth, squinting at Wang Yuan. From the latter's expression, it seemed that the table was really ordinary.

In his heart, Zhao Xing also wanted to make friends with Wang Yuan. Many people he met praised Wang Yuan, and he knew in his heart that Wang Yuan was extraordinary.

Hearing that this Hainan yellow rosewood table only costs 200 yuan, Wang Yuan wanted to agree, but seeing Zhao Xing's sly smile, he took back the words:
"200 yuan is too expensive, 100 yuan."

He was worried that Zhao Xing would see the problem if he acted too eagerly, and the other party might not sell at that time.

"Okay, deal!"

After the meal, the rain stopped, and Wang Yuan gave Zhao Xing 100 yuan directly, and went out with the table on his shoulders.

Stepping on the thin rain, Wang Yuan's figure quickly disappeared in the corner of the street not far away.

Zhao Xing stood on the steps in front of the store, stroking his hair and talking to himself: "Why do you feel like you've been tricked? Xiaojun, what do you think?"

"Impossible, that Wang Yuan is not as smart as Brother Xing?" Yang Jun stood behind with a very proud expression:
"I don't understand. Wang Yuan is that Wang Hu's cousin, isn't he our enemy? If you don't beat him, he should burn incense. Are you so polite to him, Gaha?"

"Hey~ Don't fight and kill every day. If you offend everyone, you can't get along here."

Zhao Xing looked directly into Yang Jun's eyes, and said word by word: "You remember my words, Wang Yuan is an unfathomable person, don't mess with him!"

Zhao Xing went back to the store, Yang Jun turned his head to look at the former's back, and asked in surprise: "Just him?"

……

Wang Yuan bought a small courtyard in the city a long time ago, and now he just moved the table to the small courtyard.

The sky is gloomy, it's just after 1 pm, but it's like 7-8 pm, some passers-by on bicycles are driving past, sizzling~ the wheels run over the ground and splash a lot of water.

Wang Yuan put the solid wooden table outside the courtyard gate, and took out the key from the space with the help of the cover of his trousers pocket. Suddenly, he felt as if someone was watching him.

Turning his head to look, he saw a fat man standing at the corner dozens of meters away. The fat man smiled obscenely and waved to Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan felt a tightness in his buttocks, cursed in a low voice, "Crazy!", opened the courtyard door and moved the table in.

After closing the door and putting the table into the space, Wang Yuan went back to sleep directly.

I slept until 6 o'clock in the evening, and there was another heavy rainstorm in the afternoon. In the evening, the sky cleared up.

The dark clouds dissipated, and not only a red fire cloud but also a gorgeous rainbow appeared in the western sky.

"It's so beautiful, it's a pity that I didn't bring a camera, why don't I take a picture of this beautiful scene after the rain."

Wang Yuan took the train overnight last night, and drank a lot of wine with Zhao Xing and the others at noon today. Although he rested all afternoon, he still felt weak.

So he hastily ordered some food, and after eating, he planned to continue to sleep.

Unfortunately, there was a sound of DuangDuangDuang knocking on the door. The knocking sound was so loud that Wang Yuan suspected that the door was about to be smashed into pieces.

"Who!?"

Wang Yuan lay on the kang and yelled outside through the window.

The knock on the door was still ringing, Wang Yuan got off the kang, and walked outside with his boots on:
"Don't shoot, don't shoot, come here."

squeak~
After opening the gate, Wang Yuan frowned instantly. The person who came was actually "Liam", a foreign devil who had been to Wang's Village.

Liam is British, short and fat, and has a huge rosacea nose. When he smiles, the fat on his face instantly piles up.

He asked Wang Yuan to buy paintings before, but the latter did not sell them to him.

Looking past Liam at the door, Wang Yuan saw a fat man and a thin man behind, and a Passat was parked on the road next to it.

"Mr. Wang Yuan, do you still know me? I have been to Wangjiatun before." Liam was all smiles, and his Chinese was really fluent.

"Well, there is an old saying in China that it is a joy to have friends come from afar, why don't you invite me in for a sit down?"

"come in."

Wang Yuan quickly thought about Liam's reason for coming, is it still to buy paintings?
After bringing Liam and the others into the house, Wang Yuan still found a teapot and made a pot of tea. There were some broken tea leaves in the tea bag, let's just drink it.

Liam is still a China hand. He has been to many places and can talk about many things. When the tea is ready, Wang Yuan pours him a cup. Liam takes the teacup with both hands and takes a sip:
“Good tea, good tea~”

Wang Yuan wanted to laugh for a moment, and seeing Liam's frown, he knew that the tea was not good.

"Sorry for the negligence, I don't live here often, and the tea is not ready."

"It's okay, it's okay... Actually, I came here mainly to ask Mr. Wang Yuan, is Su Shi's painting still for sale? I know that painting is still in your hands."

"How did you know for sure?"

"Anyway, I just know... Xiaopang just saw that you moved a dilapidated table and came back. Do you need to buy second-hand furniture to buy furniture? It seems that Mr. Wang Yuan's financial situation is indeed not good." Yam is very confident:
"Sell the painting to me, the money from selling the painting is enough for you to improve your life."

The air was suddenly quiet.

Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment.

……

After talking for more than an hour, there was no conclusion. Liam left angrily with two younger brothers, one fat and one thin. Bang~ the gate was closed, and the passing bicycle almost splashed water on them.

"fu*k!"

Liam was so angry that he pushed the fat man away, got into the car and left in a huff - what he thought was a surefire thing was ruined again, and now he was thinking about whether to continue to use some small tricks.

the other side.

Wang Yuan poured out a pot of tea, frowned and muttered to himself after thinking for a while:
"Back then, a thief was recruited at home. The house was turned into a mess and 8 yuan was lost. The modus operandi was too professional, leaving very few traces, and it didn't look like an ordinary thief. Could it be that Liam sent someone? How about looking for a painting?"

The more Wang Yuan thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. At the beginning, that incident was always a thorn in his heart. He suspected many people around him, but in the end he found that he suspected the wrong person.

He couldn't sit still anymore, he left the yard directly to find Sun Dagang, who opened a dance hall to the south of the department store, and he was dancing with his arms around a woman's waist.

"Xiaoyuan, why are you here? Come here, Lili, Meimei, Xiaowen, you all come here..."

"Go, go, I'm not here to dance, come out and I'll tell you something."

Wang Yuan glanced at the few women approaching, she was really handsome in small appearance, Sun Dagang's aesthetics was on the line.

After coming outside, he lit a cigarette and took a puff. Wang Yuan explained his purpose.

"Find the little bastard who stole your money? I'll take someone to cut them right away! How dare foreigners be so arrogant on our territory? I'll let my brothers pack them into Shen Songhuajiang in sacks..."

"Just don't be a fool, can you? It's not settled yet. Don't be so impulsive." Wang Yuan took a deep puff of the cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring and said:
"You send the little brothers out first, in a group of three, and secretly check the hotels to see if they are still in Lindu. If they are, keep an eye on them. I really want to see what they are doing... and brothers They said, everyone knows that I, Wang Yuan, will not treat you badly."

"Understood, don't worry, I'm sure to make a beautiful one for you."

Sun Dagang left directly, and Wang Yuan received the letter more than an hour later, and found Liam and his party in a hotel in the south of the city.

Lindu is a small city, and there were very few foreign devils who came to China in the early 90s, so it was relatively easy to find each other.

The younger brothers followed each other for two days in rotation, and found that Liam and his party had been looking for antiques.

This made Wang Yuan a little annoyed. He felt that many of China's best antiques had been dumped abroad by foreign devils like Liam.

The loss of top-quality antiques overseas is indeed a sad thing. When future generations want to see some top-quality antiques, they may have to go to foreign museums.

So at noon that day, when he learned that Liam and his party were going back to Yanjing by train, Wang Yuan decisively chose to buy the next train to follow them.

TRAIN STATION.

Sun Dagang glanced at the station staff walking around with sticks, and lowered his voice to Wang Yuan who was squatting beside him smoking:
"Xiaoyuan, there are three brothers following that foreign devil. They take the train 4 hours earlier than ours... After confirming the location, some brothers will meet us at the entrance of the Yanjing Hotel..."

"Well, it worked out pretty well. I'll send big red envelopes to my brothers later."

"Then I thank you on behalf of the brothers." Sun Dagang's eyes unconsciously paid attention to the sticks of the staff, he was so impressed by being whipped.

Many things in this era were relatively rough, and the train station staff beat passengers with sticks-if it was in later generations, I am afraid it would arouse public outrage.

But in this day and age it's nothing.

When the pack of cigarettes was about to be exhausted, it was finally Wang Yuan and Sun Dagang's turn to board the train. The crowd was so crowded that they were almost crushed to pieces. By the time they found their seats and sat down, they were already sweating.

Wang Yuan looked at the slowly receding scenery outside the car window, and a touch of fresh green had appeared on the ground in the distance - the grass looked far away but there was no such thing.

"Dagang, you just went to Yanjing with me, who will take care of your dance hall?"

"It's okay, I have a cousin to help me watch." Sun Dagang was very excited: "Xiaoyuan, you may not know that opening a dance hall is really making money, and the money flows into your pocket like a river."

"You're so awesome? Hiss~ There are a lot of fights, right?"

"It's true that it's quite a lot, but as long as there are no dead people, it's not a big deal."

The dance hall has always been a place where conflicts easily occur. There are too many fights and fights because of women's jealousy. Occasionally, some people get drunk and make trouble, or enemies meet and fight directly.

Sun Dagang is still a big distributor of bulk cargo, and he also runs a dance hall, and respects himself, so Wang Yuan decided to ask him to help manage the stall of the breeding cooperative.

"Dagang, I'll just say it straight, I want you to help me manage the breeding cooperative... I'm sure I'll make a lot of money, what do you think?"

Wang Yuan himself is a bit lazy and loves to enjoy himself. Let him sit in the office every day to deal with various chores, which would make him feel uncomfortable to death.

"Breeding cooperatives? The scale seems small, right? Do you want me to live in the countryside?" Sun Dagang was a little confused.

"Go to the countryside to live in Gaha. Now the scale of the breeding cooperative is very large. There are not only farmers who raise chickens, but also sheep, roe deer, dragons, cattle, ducks, geese...etc. farmers.

I plan to set the headquarters of the cooperative in Harbin, the provincial capital. You may live in Harbin by then. I think you are a more suitable candidate. "

"Yes!" Sun Dagang didn't say a word, and immediately patted his chest to assure: "No problem, just let me know when the time comes, Xiaoyuan, I will do whatever you ask me to do."

……

In Wang Yuan's eyes, Sun Dagang is not as good as Tang Jun in terms of ability to handle affairs, courage and intelligence, but it is a pity that Tang Jun is too ambitious, deep in the city, and has the talent of a hero.

Now Tang Jun is no longer the poor, jingling little boy.

Now he leads a group of brothers to take charge of the sales in Liaoning. If he wants money and people, he will no longer be at the mercy of Wang Yuan.

Besides, besides...

By the time the train arrived in Yanjing, it was already the next day. The exhausted two found a hotel to stay.

After resting, the two came to the entrance of Yanjing Hotel, and a shivering younger brother greeted him immediately.

"Brother Yuan, Brother Gang, I found the location. It's in a courtyard over there in the XC area."

"Thank you, Doudou."

"No hard work, no hard work, it's my honor to work for Brother Yuan and Brother Gang." Douzi is a head shorter than Wang Yuan, he is very thin and the bones on his cheeks protrude, and the clothes he wears are also very thin and shivering from the cold .

"Okay, let's go there right away... Hey, why aren't you wearing a thick padded jacket? Forgot to bring it? Hurry up and buy one."

Wang Yuan took out five one-hundred-dollar bills and handed them to Douzi. The prices in Yanjing were much higher, but 5 yuan was more than enough to buy an ordinary cotton coat.

Douzi glanced at Wang Yuan gratefully, thanked him repeatedly after taking the money, and then ran to the clothes store to buy cotton-padded clothes.

Wang Yuan and Sun Dagang stood at the same place and waited for a while. Yanjing is really prosperous, especially at the entrance of Yanjing Hotel, there are many good cars, many of which are still hung with various small foreign national flags, and all the people getting off from the cars are foreigners. .

Sun Dagang clasped his hands and said, "Xiaoyuan, these foreign devils are all from the embassy, ​​look closely and they look different."

"Haha~ Of course it's different." Wang Yuan lit a cigarette and handed one to Sun Dagang:
"Try the fake cigarettes I bought in exchange. Don't look at it as fake Zhonghua, but the shredded tobacco used for shredded tobacco is gold-grade shredded tobacco, and it tastes quite strong when smoked."

"Huh? You still smoke fake cigarettes... Well, the taste is really good."

"By the way, is there any difficulty for Douzi's family? The brothers should be earning a lot of money, right? Why don't you even have a cotton coat?" Seeing the miserable life of the little brother who followed him, Wang Yuan also felt a little bit uncomfortable. Taste.

Although it is not possible to make all younger brothers rich, it is not a problem to live comfortably, or to be an ordinary rich man.

He has calculated that it is no problem for the younger brothers to earn more than 1 yuan a month through bulk cargo. After one year of work, they will be [-] yuan households. In this era, [-] yuan households still have a relatively high gold content.

"Difficulties? There are no difficulties... Douzi is so poor because he likes to play with money, and every time he doesn't lose all the money in his hand, he won't end... I also persuaded him, it's useless, it's the same as having Dirty things covered his eyes, as if he didn’t play and felt uncomfortable.”

"How much money are you guys playing with?"

"A lot! But most of them are just a few small games, and the winning or losing is within a few hundred yuan, and the most will not exceed 2000 yuan, so it doesn't affect the daily life much... like Douzi who is obsessed with money. , still very few."

Sun Dagang was smoking a cigarette, flicked it, and a little bit of ash fell on the ground:
"His padded jacket should have been lost to others, and I don't bother to ask if he refuses to change after repeated admonition."

Wang Yuan didn't know what to say.

With the rapid development of the economy, there are more and more small places to play money, but playing money is addictive, and it is difficult to get lost by relying on a few words of persuasion from outsiders.

When Douzi came back, he really put on a brand new black padded jacket. He held his head up like a proud rooster, full of energy.

"Brother Yuan, here is the remaining 268 yuan, you count."

"Yeah." Wang Yuan didn't count the money, took the money roll and stuffed it into his pocket:
"Douzi, you should also control yourself a little bit. You also have a limit when you play money. Just have a little entertainment. Don't throw all the money in it. It's getting harder and harder to earn money now."

"I know, I know, hehe~"

Dou Zi bared his buck teeth and laughed silly, Wang Yuan didn't know if he listened or not.

Douzi showed the way, and it took a long time after taking a taxi to arrive at the courtyard he mentioned.

The old courtyard house has four entrances, and the quaint blue-gray walls are full of vicissitudes of time. It is very quiet here, and there is no one in sight, only a group of sparrows flying around.

"Brother Yuan is here, you can't go wrong..."

Dou Zi put his finger into his mouth and whistled a few times, and soon two young men sprang out beside the stone lion on the street corner, they were the other two younger brothers who were in charge of keeping an eye on him.

After greeting each other, it was confirmed that Liam and his party were in the courtyard.

"Brother Yuan, what should we do next?"

"It's been hard work for the three of you. You must be tired after such a long time. Go and rest first."
