Jianbao life

Chapter 1088 Wen Haoyang

Walking into the antique market, Hu Yong pretended to be casual and said, "Someone is following you."

Chu Chen gave a soft "hmm". In fact, Hu Yong didn't need to open his mouth, he noticed that someone was following him, and he started following him after he left their hotel.As for who these people were instigated by, there was no need to guess who it was.

Chu Chen sneered in his heart, the person who ordered to follow him probably had a bad mind, he thought he was so easy to follow?

"Then let's see what you guys are going to do!"

Chu Chen thought in his heart, just follow, anyway, the people who are temporarily following him will not pose any threat to him.What's more, the follower may not know that he was not only detected by himself and others, but also under strict surveillance. When he knows what these people are planning, no one will be able to escape .

Chu Chen told Hu Yong not to worry, and then they went shopping in the antique market.

The antique market is bustling and bustling, and every piece of antiques in the eyes of buyers is successfully traded.What made Chu Chen feel a little disgusted was that those stalls were placed directly on the sidewalk outside the antique market, one stall next to the other, so there was almost no room for passers-by to pass through.

And even the median strip between the fast lane and the slow lane is full of all kinds of goods.Some people who come to "Taobao" simply park their bicycles and cars in the fast lane, which undoubtedly increases safety hazards.On the other hand, the market is a little deserted, and I don't know how this situation came about.

Chu Chen shook his head, he can't handle this kind of thing, so let's do as the Romans do.

After shopping for an hour or two, Hu Yong only had a few bags in his hand. These are all Chu Chen’s harvest just now. Although they are not tens of millions of treasures and antiques, they are basically small boutiques. .

"Brother Chu, that guy is still following, do you want to teach him a lesson?" Hu Yong said lightly
Chu Chen said with a smile: "I don't need it for the time being, let him just follow along. It's not easy to find such a job these days. Let him have a good time. I guess he won't have the chance to do this job again in the future."

Hu Yong laughed when he heard the words: "Brother Chu, your heart is so kind."

After hearing this, Chu Chen said speechlessly, "You bastard, are you praising me or hurting me!"

"Hey, of course it's a compliment..."

While talking and joking, the two suddenly discovered that there was a group of people around the door of an antique shop in front, and with the occasional quarrels in the shop, Chu Chen guessed that someone had suffered a loss and came to settle the score.

Although there were already guesses, driven by curiosity, Chu Chen and Hu Yong joined together.

Walking to the side of the onlookers, due to his height, Chu Chen saw a 27-year-old young man with a blushing face and a thick neck arguing with a shopkeeper. He listened carefully and obeyed the young man. Words such as "kill the familiar" and "return the goods" came out of the mouth.

Although he knew that the situation was similar to what he had thought before, Chu Chen was curious and asked a middle-aged man next to him who was chatting with the same interest: "Brother, may I ask what's going on?"

The middle-aged man and his companions sized up Chu Chen, probably because they saw that Chu Chen was quite pleasing to the eye, and the middle-aged man was also a talker, so they told Chu Chen the whole story.

It turned out that the young man who was quarreling was named Wen Haoyang, and the shopkeeper-like man named Gong was the owner of the store.

In October last year, Wen Haoyang encountered a nightmare in his life. His parents both passed away in a car accident.Since Wen Haoyang lived nearby, during that time, he often went to Boss Gong's teahouse to drink tea to relieve his worries.

Here, Boss Gong’s teahouse is divided into two parts, one is a teahouse, and the other is an antique shop.

Boss Gong saw that Wen Haoyang was frowning every day, so he took the initiative to strike up a conversation.Whenever Wen Haoyang mentioned the memory of his parents, Boss Gong would give him words of comfort and give him good tea.Later, when the two got acquainted, Boss Gong often asked Wen Haoyang to go out for drinks, outings and so on.For Wen Haoyang, these are undoubtedly the pain relievers for the fragile moments.

When Boss Gong was sure that Wen Haoyang regarded himself as a friend in need, he began to tell Wen Haoyang about the interesting collections in the antique market.Boss Gong only told stories and never sold, but Wen Haoyang's appetite was whetted by the soaring prices all the way, the dazzling treasures, and the tricks of getting rich overnight.

It happened that I couldn't find a job at home for the time being, so Wen Haoyang decided to step into the entertainment circle and invest together after thinking about it.

Thinking that the family still had tens of thousands of dollars in savings, Wen Haoyang asked Boss Gong what to buy to make money.

Boss Gong thought for a long time before he said solemnly: "Ming and Qing porcelain, this plate of porcelain not only has a relatively large stock and circulation, but also has a more complicated and sophisticated manufacturing process, which has always been the focus of buyers. Because there are many buyers, relevant information is easier to find, and it is also convenient for you to learn, and then we can communicate with each other, what do you think?"

Wen Haoyang saw Boss Gong's sincerity, and thought that the report had indeed mentioned the popularity of Ming and Qing porcelains, so he immediately agreed, and asked Boss Gong to introduce some good things here.

Boss Gong chuckled and said, "Xiaowen, you also know that I usually don't recommend things to others, but we are friends, so I'll make an exception. I have a blue and white plate from the Kangxi official kiln that I have collected for a long time. It is very fine. Okay. I bought the goods at 3 yuan. If you give me 4 yuan, this item will be yours. I will help you sell it for [-] yuan in two days. You are in trouble now, so I will give you all the money for the sale. How about it?"

When Wen Haoyang heard this, he was moved. He took out his bank card and paid 3 yuan.After asking Boss Gong to take a few more photos, he didn’t take this piece of porcelain home, so he kept selling it in Boss Gong’s shop, thinking: “It’s nice to have a buddy in the antique business!”

After a period of time, Wen Haoyang bought several antiques from Boss Gong. In addition to porcelain, there were also other types of utensils, such as jade and bronze, all of which Boss Gong said would make money in the future.The price of the things is not very expensive, and the sum is less than 1 yuan, and he is very relieved to put all the things on consignment with Boss Gong.

However, one day last month, Wen Haoyang received a hurried phone call from Boss Gong: "Xiaowen, there is someone who is willing to spend 2 yuan for your blue and white plate. I advise you to sell it. Recently, Ming and Qing porcelain The price has been reduced, and if you don’t sell it, you won’t be able to sell it!”

Wen Haoyang was dumbfounded when he heard that. He had never heard of the price reduction of Ming and Qing porcelains. How could such a thing happen?Besides, a few days ago, he thought that it had been more than a month, and the piece of porcelain he bought earlier had not been sold, so he called Boss Gong, and Boss Gong told him that there were already customers interested, could it be Intention this is this?

However, Wen Haoyang didn't want to worry about these things for the time being, and he immediately said: "Even if I can't sell the 4 yuan you promised at the time, I can't make me lose money!"

What Wen Haoyang didn't expect was that Boss Gong immediately turned against him, and his attitude was not as good as before: "Who promised you? I mean try to help you sell for 4 yuan. Now that the price of Ming and Qing porcelains across the country has been greatly reduced, I can control it." Is it? You have already bought this blue and white plate, so you can sell it or not!"

This phone call finally woke Wen Haoyang up. He went to the store to take out everything, took the porcelain with him and found a collection expert after many twists and turns, and asked for advice.

The expert looked at the blue and white dish, shook his head and smiled, and told Wen Haoyang: "Since the boss Gong said that he can help you sell it for 1 yuan, you can just follow his advice. Because your blue and white dish is worth 1000 yuan. It’s not worth a dollar, the tire quality is rough, the glaze is poor, not to mention the craftsmanship, to be honest, anyone with some artistic skills can see its problems.”

"Besides, Ming and Qing porcelain has appreciated in value during this period. Isn't it a big joke to say that the price has been reduced? The boss Gong said that someone bought it may be himself. He earned you 2 yuan without any effort. You are indeed being fooled!"

After hearing what the experts said, Wen Haoyang was very emotional: "In order to earn me 2 yuan, this guy actually played with me for more than half a year, it really took great pains!"

After getting the result, Wen Haoyang felt aggrieved no matter how he thought about it after returning home, so he came to find Boss Gong today to settle the score.

After hearing the cause and effect of the incident, Chu Chen smiled and said, "Brother, how do you know this so clearly?"

The middle-aged man's companion said with a smile: "Lao Yang is an inquisitive person in the market, so he doesn't know anything about the market!"

"Where, where!" The middle-aged man waved his hands again and again, and said with a smile: "This is what the young man said just now, otherwise how could I know so clearly."

At this time, Wen Haoyang and Boss Gong also ended their argument, but needless to say, it ended in failure.

The middle-aged man shook his head: "If you want to get back the money from Lao Gong, how is that possible! Only young people who don't know how to do it will believe his words. Who in the market doesn't know that this guy is a cannibal? Lord! If it was me, he would definitely agree to sell it for [-] yuan, but now he can't get a penny if he comes here to make trouble."

Chu Chen said with a smile: "If it's what you said, even if he agreed, he might use other reasons to shirk."

"Yes, that's right, you have to be very careful when dealing with this kind of person." The middle-aged man sighed, seeing that there was no excitement, he greeted Chu Chen and brought his companions left together.

Since there was no excitement to watch, Chu Chen and Hu Yong also walked in the direction they were going just now.

Hu Yong said as he walked, "For 2 yuan, it took so much effort. Doesn't this guy feel that the gain is not worth the loss?"

Chu Chen chuckled: "You have to look at the cost first. He just invites the other party to have some tea, or at most a meal, and the other party can't keep asking him to pay. At most, he just spends some energy. And you are wrong, Not 5000 yuan, except for some not-so-high costs, after all, he earned at least [-] yuan."

"For us, 3 yuan may not be much money, but an ordinary worker can't earn so much money after working hard for a year. Now he can earn it just by using his brain. Why not do it?"

"That's right." Hu Yong nodded, and at this moment, he gave a light sigh, pointed to the alley in front of him and said, "Isn't that Wen Haoyang? Why did he set up a stall there?"

"Oh?" Chu Chen heard the words and looked over, and sure enough, he found that there was a stall beside Wen Haoyang's alley, and the booth was quite simple, just spread out with newspapers, and there were not many things on it, and it seemed to be in good condition It's not very good, basically no one cares about it.

"You didn't buy these from the boss Gong just now, did you? It's strange if they can be sold!"

Chu Chen muttered to himself, but at this moment, he suddenly saw something in the newspaper, so he quickly led Hu Yong over.

Wen Haoyang saw Chu Chen and Hu Yong walking to his booth, squatting down to check the things on his booth, but he didn't show any intention of receiving them, and looked listless.

At this time, I heard Chu Chen ask: "Boss, how do you sell your stuff?"

Wen Haoyang was taken aback when he heard the words, as if he didn't believe that Chu Chen would ask such a question. After looking at Chu Chen, he asked, "Do you really want to buy these things?"

Chu Chen smiled and said, "I just want to ask about this lock, not all of them."

Wen Haoyang looked at the blackened lock in Chu Chen's hand, and said, "I'm sorry, these things here must be sold together in a package, not separately. And, let me remind you, don't listen to any leaks." story, come and step into this business, otherwise, if you are not careful, you will be bleeding like me."

At the end, he laughed at himself.

Seeing Wen Haoyang still wanting to remind others, Chu Chen also had some good feelings for him in his heart, and he said, "Don't worry, I have thought carefully, these things really can only be bought together?"

Wen Haoyang may feel that Chu Chen is a little obsessed, so he frowned and said, "We must buy together."

Chu Chen said, "Then tell me how much these things cost in total?"

"What? You really want it?!" Wen Haoyang was dumbfounded, as if Chu Chen was a fool.

Chu Chen nodded affirmatively: "It's more real than pearls, please make a price."

"Uh……"

Hearing what Chu Chen said, Wen Haoyang was stunned for a while, and then carefully looked at the ancient lock in Chu Chen's hand, as if he thought he had missed his eyes. After a while, he looked away, hesitated for a while before saying: "If you really want it, count it as ten thousand!"

Chu Chen frowned: "Can't it be any cheaper?"

Wen Haoyang said in a non-negotiable tone, "Of course not. If you think it's expensive, you should go elsewhere."

"Okay, let's make it this price." Then, Chu Chen took out a stack of banknotes from his bag and handed them to Wen Haoyang.

Wen Haoyang was startled by Chu Chen's actions, and asked a little dumbfounded: "Do you really want it? Don't you regret it?"

Chu Chen said with a smile: "That's for sure, I will never make fun of my own money."

Wen Haoyang looked at Chu Chen in disbelief, then looked at his belongings, finally took Chu Chen's money, and said, "It's too late for you to regret it now."

Chu Chen smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, I will definitely not go back on my word, and even if I bought the wrong one, I won't ask you to return it."

"That's not what I mean, as long as you don't regret it."

Wen Haoyang waved his hands in embarrassment, and then helped to clean up the things.Maybe he didn't expect anyone to buy his things, except for the few pieces of porcelain, they were only packed in a plastic bag, which made him feel even more embarrassed, and hurriedly offered to buy some boxes for Chu Chen.

Anyway, as long as you be careful, they are not easy to break, so Chu Chen smiled and said no need.

"My little brother, I wonder if I can tell you why you bought these things from me?" Just as Chu Chen was about to leave, Wen Haoyang asked quickly.

This request made Chu Chen somewhat embarrassed. It is really inappropriate to tell the original owner that I missed something when I bought it from you. What's more, Wen Haoyang was cheated just now, so it is really unbearable to tell him the reason.

At this time, Chu Chen's cell phone rang suddenly. When he opened it, it turned out that it was Chen Yingping's call. Chen Yingping told him on the phone that his nephew had arrived in Baozhou, and asked where Chu Chen was. We met Let's talk more...
