big antique dealer

Chapter 227
Zhou Shui went back to Lao Motou's house.Yan Jing and Lao Motou came back almost at the same time, Yan Jing and Lao Motou went to the funeral supplies store, bought a lot of fragrant wax ingots, and planned to find a crossroads to burn in the evening.

Zhou Shui told Mr. Zhou about the conversation with Pi Shen.Elder Zhou sighed softly: "It's true that this man is the judge of Yincao, and that's okay, if he wants to come, he must come sooner or later."

After a while, Elder Zhou asked Zhou Shui again: "What's the name of that ghost raiser...Professor Fan? This person traded some things in Yinshi. How are these things? Are they worth money?"

Mr. Zhou asked seriously, Zhou Shui was a little surprised: "What do you mean?"

"If it's not worth much, this Professor Fan should continue to go to Yinshi. If it's valuable, then his goal has been achieved, and maybe he won't go."

Zhou Shui still didn't understand: "What does it matter to us whether he goes to Yinshi or not?"

Elder Zhou sighed: "He has fought with you a few times, every time you were in the open and he was in the dark, it was hard to guard against. This time is different, this time you are in the dark and he is in the dark, this is also a chance for you."

Zhou Shui was stunned for a while: "Dad, don't you really want me to deal with him here? This is indeed a good opportunity. As long as he destroys his way back to Yang, his soul will be taken by the underworld after seven days." , but Dad, have you ever thought about it, if I do this, I will kill him... I... Dad, I can't do it, and I can't bear the cause and effect."

Mr. Zhou shook his head: "I didn't tell you to kill someone. If the soul of the ghost breeder stays in the underworld for too long, it will be possessed by poison after the resurrection, and it will definitely be a serious illness. After this serious illness, mana will be greatly reduced. In addition, he During the serious illness, our work is almost done, so there will be fewer incidents."

Zhou Shui nodded: "Of course it's good, but we don't know when he will go wrong, which path he will take, and which method he will use."

Elder Zhou smiled and said, "The antiques he bought from Yinshi must be exchanged for money, so let's start with the antique market. Do you remember what Professor Fan traded in Yinshi?"

Zhou Shui thought for a while: "I remember jade wrench fingers, jade snuff pot, gold shell pocket watch, and a silk embroidered purse. At that time, there were only these things on his stall. I don't know if we got anything after we left. "

Mr. Zhou said: "Okay, let's start with these few things first. People who walk in the shadows can often find things in their hands, so he should be a frequent visitor to the antique market. Since a frequent visitor must have a fixed business partner, let's find and help him first. Those who handle the goods, the rest play by ear."

In the afternoon, the four of Zhou Shui went to the antique market.Originally, Zhou Shui and his father could just go, but Yan Jing wanted to drive, and Ru Yu also liked to join in the fun, so they both went.

A group of people went to Miss Zhou's shop first, and Miss Zhou was in the shop.Miss Zhou made tea for everyone, then sat down and chatted with them.

Zhou Shui first asked her: "Zhou... that aunt... aunt, is there such a shop here: the goods are relatively miscellaneous, mostly small items, and the supply is quite sufficient, and new products are often put on the shelves?"

Miss Zhou frowned: "Your question is too general, all the shops here are like this." Then she smiled: "Except for my place."

Zhou Shui also felt that this question was a bit nonsensical, so he laughed and said, "It's a bit general." After thinking about it, he asked again: "For example, ordinary antique shops are used to distinguishing between business - jade is in the jade business, and pocket watches are in the jade business. Watches and clocks, purses are also classified as embroidery shops. Under normal circumstances, people in the shop will not operate in such a large span, because each category has its own knowledge. I mean, is there any shop that operates across branches, and the supply of goods is also different? Is it enough?"

Ms. Zhou thought for a long time: "There are a few who do miscellaneous things. What do you want to buy? Tell me, and I will keep an eye on it for you."

Zhou Shui then told Ms. Zhou about the "visiting relatives", Professor Fan's situation, and what Mr. Zhou had said.Ms. Zhou didn't find it strange at all. After thinking for a while, she said, "You want to use these antiques to find out how Professor Fan got away with it? Nothing will be revealed."

At this time, Mr. Zhou took over the words: "We want to buy all the things he got from going out of business. Only when the business is done well can we go out frequently. We are afraid that he will stop going out for a while. Doing this is tantamount to seducing him. Let him continue to be negative, and only if he continues to be negative can we find opportunities from it."

Miss Zhou thought about it for a while, and said, "Okay, just for a couple of days, I'll pay attention and observe, and listen to me later."

After chatting for a while, Zhou Shui and his party left.

In the afternoon of the next day, Ms. Zhou called and said that she had visited in the industry. There were three merchants that met Zhoushui's conditions. Tomorrow is Saturday, and these merchants are open, so you can come and have a look.

On the morning of the third day, the four of them went to the market again.Ms. Zhou had been waiting for them for a while and drank water for a while. It was estimated that those businesses were also open for business, so Ms. Zhou led them to change homes to look for them.

The owner of the first household was a middle-aged man. Ms. Zhou introduced her like this: "These guys are from BJ. Their surname is Zhou. They are collectors and want to find some good miscellaneous items."

The boss is very polite.It seems to know that Zhou Shui bought a piece of jade from Miss Zhou for 50 yuan, so I also took out all the miscellaneous items at the bottom of the box.Zhou Shui carefully identified the few items on Professor Fan's stall.Zhou Shui asked again: "Smoke pots, band fingers, and old pocket watches are fine. We mainly collect these."

No, there's nothing you're looking for in the inventory.However, Zhou Shui was pleasantly surprised. The boss showed Zhou Shui a set of jade cups. The five cups were all bell-shaped cups, the size of duck eggs, and the quality of jade was good. The rare thing was that there were dry characters engraved on the bottom of the cups.It's not the stem of the Chinese character, but the stem that represents the Qian hexagram in the gossip. It looks like a three-character Chinese character, surrounded by grass dragons.

The boss of this set of cups opened 15 yuan.Zhou Shui repaid 12 yuan, and the deal was completed.According to Zhou Shui, the market price of this set of cups will not be less than 50.This is good, not only fulfilling the lie, but also picking up the leak.

The second boss is a young man.There was still nothing Zhou Shui was looking for.But this time the surprise was even bigger, Zhou Shui was able to harvest millions.This time I bought four white jade arhat beads.The arhat beads are not big, less than two centimeters high, and they are carved with a full-body arhat. The quality of the jade is good, and the leather shell is also thick.

Zhou Shui had seen this kind of arhat statue in books.There is a string hidden in the Forbidden City, a string of eighteen pieces, complete with twists and stupas.The four crafts that Zhou Shui invited are the same as those hidden in the Forbidden City. The difference is that the string in the Forbidden City is complete, and Zhou Shui only invited four, which is regarded as out of group.Even though they are out of the group, each one is worth 10,000+.Zhou Shui also spent 12 on these four Arhat beads.

The third owner is a middle-aged man, a grandson.Boss Sun has a fat head and big ears, and his face is full of oil. The most memorable thing is that Boss Sun has a bald head.

The bald Boss Sun had a smile on his face, and instead of looking at the goods, he poured the best tea.While making tea, Boss Sun asked: "The rules in the business, Miss Zhou's commission is [-]%, this... Where will I get it?"

Hearing this, Zhou Shui's impression of Boss Sun was extremely bad.It is a true industry rule, but considering the face of the middleman, it is generally tacit understanding.Speaking on the stage, how embarrassing is it to let the middleman, that is, Miss Zhou.Of course, Boss Sun doesn't know about the relationship between Zhou Shui and Ms. Zhou. Boss Sun is probably implying that Zhou Shui can get rid of Ms. Zhou, which can save [-]%.

Zhou Shui didn't appreciate it, and even cursed in his throat: a typical profiteer.

Miss Zhou blushed.Want to speak, but seem not to know where to start.Zhou Shui stood up and said, "I'll forget it, I won't watch this product."

Elder Zhou didn't move, he glanced at Zhou Shui, and motioned Zhou Shui to sit down with his eyes.Zhou Shui had no choice but to sit down again.

Mr. Zhou put on a smiley face: "If the business is done, we will pay Miss Zhou's share. Mr. Sun just set your own price."

Boss Sun grinned: "It's easy to say, let's have tea first. Since the gentlemen are BJ's customers, they must be familiar with BJ's merchants. I wonder which shop Mr. Zhou usually walks around?"

Mr. Zhou is not an insider, so of course he doesn't know what kind of antique shop BJ has.Elder Zhou smiled: "The old man has neglected to walk the market in recent years, but he has dealt more with auction houses." He pointed at Zhou Shui again: "This is a dog, he has some friends in the market."

Zhou Shui deliberately showed an impatient look: "You don't know, Shubai Thatched Cottage, Boss Xiao Wang, is my little brother."

Zhou Shui's words were not bragging, Xiao Wang did treat Zhou Shui as a brother.How famous is Shubai Thatched Cottage in the domestic antique circle?How could Boss Sun not know.So this Mr. Zhou is a guest of Shubai Thatched Cottage?Under the door of Shubai Thatched Cottage, it can be said that "there is no white person in the relationship", so these few people are definitely not idle people.

The smile on Boss Sun's face was even brighter: "Shubai Thatched Cottage, I've heard of it. To tell you the truth, Xiao Ke once did a few business deals with Mr. Xiao Wang. Although they don't have a deep relationship, Mr. Wang and Mr. Xiao But there is quite a business relationship, that... Mutual love, it can be said to be mutual love."

Zhou Shui pursed his lips secretly, and said to himself, "Blow it up, Brother Xiao Wang will treat you like a bird."

Boss Sun offered the tea again, and said, "Since you are Mr. Xiao Wang's friend, you are no longer an outsider. That..." At this point, Boss Sun glanced at Miss Xiao Zhou, and said, "That... just Leave Mr. Zhou to me, don't worry, I will take good care of you, this... We hit it off right away, I'm afraid this chat will be endless, so I dare not waste Miss Zhou's time. Or...you should be busy first Go, of course, the business is done, and I will never hide it from you."

Zhou Shui almost scolded him, a profiteer, a shameful traitor.

Ms. Zhou also had a look of contempt: "Okay, you two hit it off, why should I bother you?" Then she turned her face and said to Mr. Zhou: "Brother, then you can chat with your old friend for a while. If the business is done, tell the girl, she is still waiting for the [-]% reward."

Miss Zhou loves to talk to Mr. Zhou, half coquettish and half joking, really like brother and sister.Rigorous, Zhou Shui is no stranger to it.

Old Zhou smiled.

Ms. Zhou left with a pouty face. Boss Sun changed the tea again, and said in a nonchalant manner, "Which product does Mr. Zhou like? This... Is there any price limit?"

Mr. Zhou deliberately lowered his voice: "You have the goods, and I have the money here. As for going out of this business, I have never bought it, and you have never sold it. If there are any rumors outside, it will be inconvenient for you and me. Do you understand?"

How could Boss Sun not understand?Generally, buyers who speak like this have something to hide. Boss Sun has encountered such customers, and most of them are officials.

When Mr. Zhou said this, Boss Sun became even more excited. He has experience, and this kind of customers do not have such strong requirements for the cost performance of the goods. To put it bluntly, as long as the things are genuine, they are not afraid of being expensive.In fact, this kind of guest is the kind of good guest that antique dealers dream of.

Elder Sun patted his chest: "Don't worry, you don't understand this point, so why have you spent 20 years in the antique market for nothing?"

Zhou Shui continued: "Get the goods, we are in business, not just selling words?"

Boss Sun chuckled dryly, opened the cabinet behind him, and took out the goods.Zhou Shui saw that the goods were all small utensils with complicated patterns, including agate pieces, jadeite pieces, white jade pieces, small pieces of porcelain, and bamboo and wood tooth corners.From a business perspective, there are a few things that Zhou Shui can catch.But Zhou Shui didn't say to buy it, nor did he say not to buy it, he just wanted to squeeze Boss Sun to take out all the things.At this moment, Zhou Shui faintly felt that if Professor Fan had a business partner in this market, the possibility of this Boss Sun was very high.
