The Most Thrilling Tomb Tour: Tomb Raider

Chapter 10: A Business (2)
"Does that mean you'll pay fifty thousand?"

"Yes!"

"Okay then, we won't sell it, let's go!" Having tasted the sweetness of playing hard to get, I said I pulled Fatty and Xiang Ru to leave.

"Oh! Don't go, don't go! Make a price yourself!" Seeing that we were leaving, Huang Guirong became really anxious.

I looked at the fat man, intending to let him make up his mind, but he held out three fingers to me, and I blurted out: "Eighty thousand! I won't sell anything less!"

"Deal!" Huang Guirong hurriedly said before I finished speaking: "I'll give you the money now, just wait a moment!" After saying that, he walked into the bedroom inside.

When the fat man saw me say 30, he patted his thigh angrily, and whispered to me, "I told you to pay [-]! How did you say [-]?" I saw him stick out three fingers and thought it was [-] Add another [-], how do you know what he means?Qian Yili and Lao Zhongtou sneered side by side.

"Here! This is 8 yuan. The two beauties count it!" Huang Guirong took out a thick stack of money wrapped in newspapers and handed it to us.

Fatty and I opened it, and immediately forgot everything. That saying is really good, "money can turn ghosts around", a wise saying!With so much money in front of me, if I do business, how long will it take me to earn it back?What's more, now that I've lost money and owed a whole lot of debt, what's the matter?Ok, deal!

I looked at the fat man and saw him staring at the money, wishing he could get in and sleep with them, so I knew we didn't care about anything else.Quickly asked Xiangru to put the money into the bag, said hello to Huang Guirong and Qian Yili, and went out.

The three of us were walking on the street, so we couldn't even mention the joy in our hearts!Hurry up and run to the side of the road to stop for a noodle, and go to the best restaurant to have a meal.Suddenly someone ran up behind us and stopped us.I looked back, and it turned out to be the old clock with a smile on his face.

"So it's Boss Zhong, what's the matter with you?" Seeing that he was out of breath, I asked.

"Actually, it's nothing. I just want to chat with the two of you, make friends, and take care of each other's business in the future, how about it?" Old Zhongtou stared at the round "glass eye" and smiled slyly at us, which seemed to be the same. A complete profiteer.

"No problem!" Fatty and I both have a personality of making friends, and since we are doing business, we will not refuse anyone who comes.

"That's refreshing! I'm treating guests today, let's go?" Old Zhong grinned.

"Go!"

After all, the four of us stopped the car, and went to the century-old shop called "Upstairs" on Renmin Road at Lao Zhongtou's suggestion.

I have been to this restaurant twice before, and it can be said that the eight major cuisines of "Chuanlu, Guangdong, Huaiyang, Fujian, Zhejiang and Xiangbang" are good at everything here.The first floor was already full, so we managed to find a seat by the window on the second floor.The fat man and I unceremoniously ordered a table full of dishes. My favorite is the mackerel dumplings.

Old Zhongtou looked at us with a glassy eye and a smile on our mouths, after all, Xiangru was a girl, and she didn't chew and swallow like us.

After a big meal of Hesai, we always filled our stomachs with sourness, and Xiang Ru was still drinking soda.

"It can be seen that the two little brothers are really hungry, haha!" Old Zhong said with a smile when he saw that we had finished eating.

"Hey! I've been hungry all day and all night just to get those beads." Only then did I feel that I had lost my composure with Fatty just now, so I said embarrassedly.

"Do you know the name of the beads you got?" Lao Zhong smiled and handed over two "Hard Gates", and the fat man and I ordered one each.

"Avoid water drops!" The fat man learned to answer quickly.

"How do you know?" Old Zhongtou showed a surprised expression this time.

"Ask him!" The fat man pouted at me.

"I saw it in a book, ha ha!" Seeing that Lao Zhong's attention was all on me, I said hastily.

"What book?" Old Zhong's eyes widened.

"Hi! The one left to me by my grandfather is called "The Record of Ancient Gods and Monsters"." I said disapprovingly, thinking it was just a book!But before I finished speaking, Lao Zhong covered my mouth across the table, which startled us.

"Oh! Good guy! This book is a precious book!" Old Zhong looked around, seeing that no one was paying attention to us, he quickly lowered his voice and said, "Grandpa is living a long life this year? Where are you now?" I thought to myself Isn't this guy trying to get the attention of this book?Be alert now.

"It's already buried in the ground, and I should be more than 90 years old now!"

"Oh! Do you know why I'm looking for you?" Old Zhong asked with staring eyes.

"For this book!" I wanted to clarify what he meant and dissuade him from thinking about my book.

"Hi! Why do I want your book! That book is certainly a precious book, not to mention seeing it, there are not many people in this world who know it, but I have heard of it in the early years. I am useless!"

"Then what do you mean?" Fatty and I looked at each other and asked puzzledly.

"I'm already a person who knows my destiny. I'm a little old, and I still had old cold legs in the early years." Old Zhongtou paused and said, "I have an antique shop on Dagu Road, and I collect such rare treasures. , but the price is so high that I can’t afford it. If you have the ability, I’ll contact you with the family who can afford the money. Afterwards, if we have the money, we can share it together. It’s okay for four or six or three or seven. I think both of you are straightforward People, what you need to do this job is to have brains and courage, you have all these, how about it?"

"This one!" Fatty and I looked at each other, and I suddenly thought of something, and asked Xiang Ru to take out the piece of bi, and handed it to Old Zhong: "Tell us, the one we sell water-proof beads today Is the price a profit or a loss? How much is this stuff worth?"

"Good guys! You guys are really skilled. This thing is used by the emperor to worship the heavens. It's called Qing Gui." Old Zhongtou praised.

"Qing Gui? Do you have any explanation?" I asked puzzled.

"There are many sayings about jade. Qinggui is also a kind of jade. There are also Cangbi, Huangcong, Chizhang, etc. The types and workmanship are different, and the uses are also different. Cangbi is used to worship the sky, and Huangcong is used to worship the land. Your Qinggui is used to worship the East. This thing used string patterns in Shang Dynasty, animal face pattern and Chi pattern in Tang Dynasty, and cloud pattern and cattail pattern in Spring and Autumn to Qin and Han Dynasties. It depends on the color and craftsmanship of your thing. , it should belong to Qin Han." Old Zhong Tou only showed a little hand, but it has already left the three of us dumbfounded.

"However, the water-proof beads you sell today are a bit of a loss in my opinion. They are the least expensive in foreign countries," said Old Zhongtou and raised a finger.

"100 million?!" The fat man and I shouted.

"No, 1000 million is about the same!" The fat man and I regretted hearing this. Although I expected that Huang Guirong would get some benefits from the money, I didn't expect them to be able to sell so much.This number was already astronomical at the time. My father’s monthly salary was only a little over 100, but who told us that we were short of money?

"Actually, you two don't need to be upset. This thing is Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai—one is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer. It doesn't matter who cheats the other. Besides, I think you are short of money, right?" Profiteers can see into our hearts at a glance.

"Hey! If you don't need money, who will do this job?!" Fatty and I have the same feeling that Qin Qiong sells horses and Yang Zhi sells knives.

"That's it, let's do it! Since we are friends, I can't take advantage of other people's dangers to suppress the price of your things. I can't afford this thing. I don't have more, and I don't if I pay less." True. If you trust me with this Qing Gui, I will give you some money, put it in my place, and I will help you contact someone to sell it. If you don’t believe me, take it back, and I will contact you for you. You can just come by yourself when the time comes! how?"

"Okay! Don't worry about any money, you can take it back and sell it for us! If you sell it, you will be indispensable!" Everyone said that it was worth it, and it was a heart-to-heart talk. In this case, I What else do you have to say to the fat man?
"Cheer up! Come, let's have a drink!" Old Zhong happily raised his cup, and everyone drank it down.

"I have a business, I wonder if you two dare to accept it?" Old Zhongtou finally changed the topic, cut to the point, looked at us with his glass eyes and smiled slyly and strangely.
