Jianbao life

Chapter 991 Strange People

Qiao Qingtai felt a little strange after hearing what Han Yusong said. Although he didn't come to Xiazhou many times, he still knew Han Yusong's business reputation. Under normal circumstances, even if it was a rare antique, Han Yusong The price offered was quite reasonable, which made him immediately think that the reason why Han Yusong did this was because of him.

"Xiao Han, you didn't do this because you wanted to take care of me, did you?"

Han Yusong laughed, and said a little embarrassedly: "No, the main reason is that this couplet was actually repaid by my friend to me. The price is a bit expensive, so the price I gave is a bit more expensive."

Qiao Qingtai was a little curious when he heard the words, and asked, "Xiao Han, I think you are usually very careful about money. How come there are still people who still owe you money?"

Han Yusong smiled wryly and said, "I've suffered an indiscriminate disaster..."

It turned out that Han Yusong had a good friend named Xu Fan, who was also an antique dealer and opened a small antique shop in another antique market in Xiazhou.

Because Xu Fan's economy and channels are limited, sometimes he will "take it alive" from Han Yusong.

"Live taking" refers to an antique dealer taking a commodity from another antique dealer without paying at the time, which is called "living taking".

The rule of "live taking" is that the price has been negotiated, and you can only sell more money, not less, that is, you must guarantee the bottom line.Believe your word.The price is higher than the buyout price. Generally speaking, no handling fee or runway fee is paid to the live taker, but the live taker can increase the price on top of the low price, which is called "wearing a hat", and sell more to the live taker. The original owner does not ask.

Both Han Yusong and Xu Fan are good friends who know each other well, and they have been working together for four or five years, and Xu Fan usually only takes one piece from Han Yusong's place every time, and he has never There have been problems.

One day, Xu Fan rushed over suddenly, saying that a boss was in urgent need of high-quality antiques, and asked Han Yusong to "take alive" two antiques with a combined value of nearly 60.Considering that everyone has worked together for such a long time, and that Xu Fan is a more careful person and generally will not be deceived, although Han Yusong was a little curious, he didn't ask too many questions.

But the result was beyond Han Yusong's expectation. This time, Xu Fan was set up by someone to make money, not to mention, he was almost killed.

When Han Yusong talked about this, he stopped to drink a few sips of tea. At this time, everyone's curiosity was raised, and Qiao Qingtai said quickly: "Xiao Han, don't be foolish, tell us what's going on!"

Han Yusong smiled, and when he was about to continue his narration, he saw a man who was nearly 50 years old with half-white hair walking in quickly from outside.

Han Yusong pointed at the man and said with a smile, "Cao Cao will be there soon, let's listen to him."

Xu Fan was a little puzzled by these words, and asked with a puzzled look: "What do you want me to say?"

Han Yusong said: "It's because you were cheated by someone some time ago."

Xu Fan scratched his head, smiled wryly and said, "To be honest, this is a nightmare for me, and I really don't want to bring it up again."

Han Yusong poured a cup of tea for Xu Fan and said, "Old Xu, I think you might as well open up your heart and say it openly. Once you untie your knot, the matter will be over. Otherwise, you will be more afraid now." The more you mention it, the more you will be affected, and in the end it is very likely that you will be bitten by a snake once and afraid of well ropes for ten years."

Xu Fan pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "What you said is indeed reasonable, and now I really have such a tendency. But, before I say it, can you introduce these friends for me?"

"Of course..."

Han Yusong introduced the two sides with a smile. When Xu Fan heard that the old and young people in front of him were actually Qiao Qingtai and Chu Chen, he was surprised for a moment, and then became excited, and he was a little awkward to speak.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Xu Fan, who finally calmed down, told everyone what happened to him when he was cheated.

One day in March this year, a man in his 30s came to Xu Fan's antique shop. He had dark brown skin and a thin body like a bow. At first glance, he looked like a farmer who faced the loess all day long. .The man sold some antiques to Xu Fan every now and then, but the price he offered was always far lower than the actual value of the antiques.

Facing the "big guy" who came to his door, Xu Fan couldn't help but secretly rejoice: the sky is falling, this man's money is so easy to earn.

After a long time, Xu Fan became friends with the man. He knew that his name was Tian Dazhuang, a shovel from Jin Province, and he knew many bosses who liked to play with antiques. Because the cultural relics of the Three Gorges are more popular now, they often come to Xiazhou to shop for treasures.And the reason why he sold things to Xu Fan was just to earn travel expenses.

Xu Fan didn't have much doubt about this, because although the things Tian Dazhuang sold him were cheap, they were all relatively common goods, and it was likely that they were just as Tian Dazhuang said, just to earn travel expenses.

After going back and forth like this, one day, Tian Dazhuang enthusiastically set up a line for Xu Fan, and wanted to introduce him to a big boss who wanted to buy antiques. He said that the other party had a high vision and generous sales, but this boss didn't want the cultural relics of the Three Gorges, otherwise this business He just did it himself.

As soon as Xu Fan heard that there was such a good thing, and Tian Dazhuang placed the transaction location in a very famous local restaurant, he agreed without thinking too much.

On the day of the transaction, Xu Fan came to the hotel with a portable safe containing antiques and had already booked a private room.

Soon, Tian Dazhuang brought a well-dressed man who was about 27 or [-] years old into the private room. The young man told Xu Fan that the boss had something to do temporarily, so he, his assistant, acted as his assistant.

At the dinner table, the young man patted his chest and said: "As long as the goods are good, the price is not a problem."

Not long after, the two sides negotiated the price readily.

After the business was concluded, the young man said, the money should be paid after dinner.Xu Fan thought that this matter was not in a hurry, so he didn't refuse.

But Xu Fan became drunk not long after drinking the wine, and when he woke up, he found himself lying in the hospital.

Speaking of this, Xu Fan still seemed a little scared: "At that time, the doctor told me that the amount of anesthesia given by that group was very heavy. If I hadn't been physically healthy, I might never wake up again. It's also my blessing. Fate is big, money can be made again if you lose it, and you will lose everything if you lose your life! So, when you meet strangers, you have to be careful, if the other party's mind is not right, you might lose both money and money."

Everyone nodded and said yes, the old saying is good, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must not have the intention to guard against others. Although there are still a lot of good people in society, there is a saying that money can make ghosts pervert. When encountering money-related things , you can't treat it carelessly, or you will suffer if you are not careful.

Qiao Qingtai opened his mouth and said: "Xiao Xu, let me tell you something simple and deep, not to mention whether you have a deep relationship with that Tian Dazhuang. When you go out to discuss business, especially if you bring valuables with you, it is best to bring a trustworthy friend with you." .”

"Old Qiao, you are right." Xu Fan said ashamedly: "I was too careless at the time, but in the final analysis, I was knocked out by the pie that Tian Dazhuang threw to me before."

"So, if we are in the antique business, we should avoid greed for small profits."

Chu Chen sighed with emotion, and then asked, "Then have these people been found?"

"I went to inquire the day before yesterday, and said that there was no clue at all."

Xu Fan sighed, it has been almost a month, and the case has not made any progress. Even if the case is finally solved, he will not be able to get back his belongings.

Han Yusong comforted him and said: "Old Xu, if you lose your horse, you will know that it is not a blessing. Maybe you will get lucky and make a fortune?"

Xu Fan said listlessly: "It's fine to make a fortune, I can pay off your money, and earn some retirement money."

Han Yusong said: "Old Xu, why don't I tell you, what you owed me earlier has been paid off in full."

"That's what you think, I don't admit it."

Xu Fan refused very simply, then took out a small box from his clothes, put it on the table and opened it.

I saw a jade bear with a height of only six or seven centimeters placed in the box, which was vivid in shape and charmingly naive.One hind paw of the bear is kneeling on the ground, and the other hind paw is bent, making the bear squat as a whole.The bear's head is protruding forward, its ears are raised, its small round eyes are looking straight ahead, its mouth is open and its teeth are showing, its front paws are on its knees.The mane on the face is clearly defined, and the fur is expressed in short curves throughout.

At this time, Xu Fan said: "Everyone, how about this bear-shaped jade paperweight? I think it should be from the Han Dynasty. I don't know if it is right."

After speaking, he made an invitation to everyone.

Everyone was also polite, and started to observe carefully one by one.

When it was Chu Chen's turn, he found that the shape of this utensil was simple and clumsy, the carving was exquisite, and the image was freehand. Talking about counting knives, the knives saw the effect, and the depiction was vivid and full of aura, which shows that the craftsmanship is extraordinary.

Judging from the knife technique and jade quality, Chu Chen believes that this is indeed a jade paperweight from the Han Dynasty, and furthermore, it should be in the style of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

There are very few paperweights in the Han Dynasty that have been handed down to the present, and most of them are made of copper. Because of the lack of resources, the difficulty of mining, and the fragility of damage, there are very few jade paperweights that have survived until now.Therefore, this jade bear paperweight is really rare and very precious.

After discussing for a while, everyone agreed that this should be a jade bear paperweight from the Eastern Han Dynasty. This made Xu Fan very happy, and even said that it seemed to him that the time had come.

Hearing what he said, Han Yusong felt a little curious, and asked, "Old Xu, where did you get this thing?"

Xu Fan chuckled and said, "Someone sold it in my store yesterday afternoon, and the price is not expensive."

Han Yusong smiled and said, "Old Xu, you've met a liar again, right?"

Xu Fan said: "What you said, no matter what I do, I won't even learn my lesson, right? Besides, didn't the person who sold my things just leave you?"

"Who are you talking about?" Everyone was surprised.

Xu Fan was a little surprised and said: "The middle-aged man in the white shirt just now, isn't he here to sell antiques?"
