Both money and sex

It was not time to get off work, and there were not many people on the air-conditioned bus, so Luo Ping took out the chess piece and looked at it carefully.

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this chess piece was unusual, but unfortunately he couldn't tell what material this chess piece was made of, and he still had a big question in his mind, this chess piece was intact, so would there be fortune to come out?

According to previous experiences, antiques must be damaged in order to be absorbed by him, and to distinguish the grade and age.But this chess piece is intact, it can even be said that its appearance is very good, the whole body is glowing with crimson oil, it is very smooth, smooth and delicate to the touch, it can be described as a good product for viewing and playing.

The more Luo Ping watched, the more he fell in love with it, and a happy smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Young man, can you show me your pawn?"

A voice suddenly came from behind Luo Ping, and when he turned his head, an elegant middle-aged man in his fifties was looking at him expectantly.

Seeing Luo Ping's puzzled face, the middle-aged man smiled and explained, "Don't get me wrong, I just saw that the chess in your hand is very beautiful, and I want to appreciate it."

The starting point of this bus is near Antique Street, so many of the people who take this bus are antique lovers. Luo Ping often sees some people gathering together to discuss antiques in this bus these days, so this person He didn't find it awkward to be interested in the chess pieces in his hand.

He smiled and handed over the chess pieces in his hand. There is only so much space on the bus, so there is no need to worry about being snatched by strangers.

The middle-aged man took the chess piece, thanked it with a smile, looked at it carefully for a while, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.Immediately afterwards, he weighed the chess piece in his hand, smelled it under his nose, and finally tapped the back of the chess piece twice with his fingers.

"Young man, do you only have this one chess piece or do you have a whole set?"

The middle-aged man fiddled with it for a while, returned the chess to Luo Ping, and asked with a smile.

Luo Ping raised his eyebrows, "Do you recognize it?"

"Hehe, I can't tell. But if you have a whole pair, can you give it to me? The price is easy to negotiate."

Luo Ping looked at the middle-aged man with a smile. He has seen countless people like him in Pincixuan these days. It is a pleasure to tease him when he has nothing to do in the car.

"Oh, how much can you pay?" Luo Ping showed a very interested look.

"Hehe, to tell you the truth, the old man in the family usually likes to play chess. A few years ago, there was a pair of chess like this at home, but it was lost when we moved. It has always been the biggest regret in the old man's heart. If you are willing to let Give it to me, I'll pay the price."

The middle-aged man stretched out five fingers, with a smile on his face, as if he was determined to win.

"five hundred?"

"Five thousand!"

Luo Ping showed a look of surprise, "Is this chess set worth five thousand?"

"The old man is getting old, and we as children also want to be filial. We finally saw the same thing, and the money is secondary. Young man, how about it, can you give it to me?"

The middle-aged man speaks with eloquence and emotion, which is touching.If it was ten days ago, Luo Ping might have believed him, but now...

"What a pity!" Luo Ping shook his head, "I only have this one."

The middle-aged man heard a truth, but he thought that Luo Ping was raising the price, and he raised his eyebrows, "Baqian, young man, this price is very fair!"

"Hey, you're not afraid to flash your tongue when you say something. I didn't sell it when someone offered [-] just now, but you want to buy it for [-]?"

The car was about to enter the station, and Luo Ping didn't want to continue entanglement with him, so he put the chess pieces in his pocket and prepared to get off the car.

"Young man, if you really have a whole pair, the price can be negotiated."

Seeing that Luo Ping was about to get off the car, the middle-aged man seemed very anxious, and stood up with him.Luo Ping secretly thought, this chess piece seems to have some origins, and this person has already seen it out of ten, anyway, I have to find someone to understand the situation, why not see if I can get something out of him first.

After the car pulled into the station, Luo Ping got out of the car first, and the middle-aged man followed behind him persistently, and the two walked to the small woods beside him.

"Since you want to buy it so much, you have seen the origin of my item. Then tell me, well said, I can consider it."

The middle-aged man was overjoyed when he heard the words, and took out a golden hard-shell business card from his pocket and handed it to Luo Ping with both hands.

"Little brother, please don't mind what I said in the car just now. My surname is Xu, and my single name is Wei. I came here from Xiangcheng this time to inspect the antique market here."

Luo Ping glanced at the business card, only to see the words "Xiangcheng Tiancheng Investment Firm" printed on it, and the title of this person was still general manager.He nodded and smiled, "Boss Xu, you are an open-minded person, and I will tell you the truth. My family bought this thing at a huge price. I am not actually going to sell it. I mainly want to understand What the hell is this thing?"

"Hehe, the little brother is an honest person at first glance." A look of disappointment swept across the middle-aged man's face, but the smile did not fade, "I just took a look, and the material of your chess piece should be rosewood. Rosewood It is rare now, and red sandalwood with a diameter as thick as a chess piece is even rarer, it can be said to be an old object for sure, and it is hard to say what era it is."

Then, he introduced to Luo Ping some methods of distinguishing red sandalwood, nothing more than looking at it, weighing it twice, smelling it three times, knocking it four times, and soaking it five times.

"The biggest difference between the old red sandalwood and the new red sandalwood is that the old red sandalwood does not fade when soaked in water, and the color will fall off as soon as it is rubbed; If you are willing to give in, the price will definitely satisfy you.”

However, Luo Ping finally rejected him. Before leaving, the middle-aged man named Xu Wei kept telling Luo Ping that if he wanted to make a move in the future, he must be the first to contact him.

"It seems that this chess piece is really a treasure. If you can make up a whole set, it will definitely be worth a fortune. Little Yanzi said that there are many more on the mountain, so I must take some time to have a look next time."

When walking into the small building, Luo Ping was still thinking about it.He is poor and white now, and he still has to save money to participate in the Hong Kong Christie's auction. Since he knew the value of this chess piece, he couldn't help but be moved.

"Brother Luo, you are back."

As soon as he entered the door, Long Xin greeted him with a smile and brought him slippers.Luo Ping hummed happily, and while changing his shoes, asked, "Nothing to do at home today!"

"Brother Luo, someone is waiting for you."

Luo Ping was taken aback by Long Xin's words, and looked back, right? A young woman was sitting on the sofa looking at him, and a middle-aged woman was standing behind her; at the other end of the sofa, there was a man sitting, Appears in his 30s.

The young woman has long hair like a waterfall and is wearing a white floral dress. She is very beautiful, but her face is cold and she should not approach strangers.

"Who are you?" Luo Ping didn't pay much attention to that woman. It's not that women are not beautiful, but that overly beautiful women have already become synonymous with danger and trouble in his eyes.

The man stood up and said, "You are Luo Ping, and I am Lei Dong from the Department of Chemistry."

"Redon?"

Luo Ping had heard of this name before. For the first time this year, Jiang University won the first prize in the "Challenge Cup" National College Student Extracurricular Academic Science and Technology Works Contest, causing a sensation in Jiangcheng. The team leader was Lei Dong.It was unbelievable that he was so young.

"Mr. Lei, hello!"

"Let me introduce to you, this is Liu Hongyue, the daughter of Mr. Liu Jinbiao, the chairman of Jiangcheng Lijing Real Estate Group. Ms. Liu heard that you are a student of Mr. Chen and are proficient in repairing famous paintings, so I would like to ask you to do me a favor. Sub-painting."

Luo Ping became angry as soon as he heard it, and the next door to Mahler was this Liu Jinbiao, who really lingered.

"Sorry, I can't repaint."

Hearing that it was Liu Jinbiao's daughter, Luo Ping stopped being polite to them.He sat down on the sofa carelessly, picked up the cold water jug ​​on the tea table and drank a few sips.

As if expecting that Luo Ping would refuse, Liu Hongyue reached out to take a piece of paper from the middle-aged woman behind her, and gently placed it on the tea table.

"Mr. Luo, this is a check for 10 yuan, please help me, this is very important to me."

The meaning in the words was to ask Luo Ping for help, but Luo Ping didn't feel her sincerity.

Luo Ping picked up the check, flicked his fingers on it twice, and said, "10 yuan, I want it even in my dreams! Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to help Miss Liu, please forgive me."

After speaking, he put the check back on the coffee table.
