Chapter 26
Zhou Shui took a taxi home, called Wu Qiang on the way, and said straight to the point: "I need a sum of money urgently."

Wu Qiang was taken aback on the phone, and after a while, he said, "No problem, you can send the card number to my mobile phone. I will call you through online banking."

Zhou Shui said: "That's not what I mean, I want to sell some goods."

Wu Qiang said: "This is not the way to ship the goods. Don't be in a hurry. I'll help you take a step forward."

Zhou Shui said: "300 million, have you paid for it?"

Wu Qiang asked curiously; "Brother, do you want to marry a daughter-in-law? This mother-in-law is too dark, isn't she marrying a daughter or selling a daughter? Don't worry, wait for my brother to deal with her. With my brother's face, even your brother The daughter-in-law said that she is the idol of middle-aged and elderly women."

Zhou Shui said, "Don't interrupt."

Wu Qiang said: "How can I have so much money, if you want, you can think of me as willing to part with my handsome face."

Zhou Shui said: "Please help me to contact the buyer. You work in an auction house, so there are still some conveniences, right?"

Wu Qiang hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Okay, listen to my call." After a while, Wu Qiang sent a text message: East Third Ring Panjiayuan Antique Market, Shubai Thatched Cottage, looking for Xiao Wang.

Zhou Shui felt at ease when he received the text message.At home, Zhou Shui washed up and lay down. Zhou Shui slept very restlessly that night. For a while, he dreamed of Xiao Shu laughing and joking. .

Zhou Shui woke up in a cold sweat.The next morning, Zhou Shui's bones seemed to be falling apart, and he felt better after sitting in meditation.Zhou Shui found out the box of shift fingers, and took it out the door.

There is a bus to BJ every hour from Qinyang Bus Station.Zhou Shui chose a seat by the window and sat down.All the way Zhoushui was asleep, the bus was taking the Beijing-Harbin Expressway, and it happened to turn at the Warwick Bridge on the East Third Ring Road.Zhou Shui got out of the car from there, and the Panjiayuan Antiquities Market was on the left.

Zhou Shui often comes here, and the "Shubai Thatched Cottage" in his impression is a very big shop. Zhou Shui still remembers that a girl is in charge of the store.

It was still early, and most businesses were not open yet.But the glass door of Shubai Thatched Cottage was open.Zhou Shui walked in, and a young man greeted him very warmly, and first extended his hand to Zhou Shui: "You are Brother Zhou Shui, right? Brother Wu Qiang often mentions you, my surname is Wang."

While shaking hands with him, Zhou Shui observed this young man. The young man was a little fatter, gentle, with a pair of glasses, and his face was full of sunshine and ability. He stared at Zhou Shui, and from his eyes, Zhou Shui could see Friendly and sincere.Zhou Shui suddenly had an urge to make friends with him.

Xiao Wang gave Zhou Shui to the sofa, made tea for Zhou Shui, and then sat down on the opposite sofa.Xiao Wang said: "Brother Wu Qiang specially asked me to come early today. I arrived an hour ago. Brother Wu Qiang told me about your legendary experience. It is really amazing. I am now your fan."

What the young man said was very decent, but Zhou Shui was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Where, where, the rumors in the market are not credible, not credible."

The two chatted for a while.The topic gradually turned to business.Zhou Shui took out the finger box from his satchel and put it on the tea table.Xiao Wang took out a black velvet tray from under the coffee table, put the finger box on the tray, took off the ring and watch, and put them aside.Then he opened the team box, and the seven teams sat quietly inside. Xiao Wang took out the team fingers one by one and placed them neatly on the tray.Then read each class guide carefully.

After a full half an hour, Xiao Wang said: "Brother Zhou, these fingers of yours are all palace works of the Qianlong era, and their appearance is also very good. What's even more rare is that they are preserved in a set. If you are not in a hurry to spend money, I advise you Keep it, this thing is hard to come by, I'm afraid you will regret it in the future."

Xiao Wang actually said that, which surprised Zhou Shui. It was obvious that he already regarded Brother Zhou as one of his own.Zhou Shui was a little moved, and involuntarily told him about his current situation.Xiao Wang thought for a while and said, "We two brothers can say that we hit it off. This is what I think - if this class means that you are reluctant to give up because you need money urgently, then I will find a way to help you solve the money problem. Angkor told me that you need 300 million, which is not a big problem. If you still want to take the business route, I am happy to keep your set of instructions.”

Zhou Shui admired Xiao Wang's style very much, and said in his heart: Just take off the watch and the ring with the action of looking at the young man, and you can imagine the future of this person.He knows to respect the seller and also knows to respect the goods.Not only is there a clear understanding of people, but also he can make judgments without dragging his feet. I must have a deep friendship with this friend.

Zhou Shui said: "I still want to sell him. Now that the old man is sick, there are still many places to use the money. Brother's kindness is appreciated."

Xiao Wang nodded: "Okay, please report the card number to me."

Zhou Shui gave the card number to Xiao Wang, and Xiao Wang turned on the computer and operated on the keyboard for a while.After a while, a text message alert from Zhou Shui's mobile phone rang. Zhou Shui saw that the money had arrived, not 300 million, but 350 million.

Zhou Shui said: "Brother, I made a mistake in remitting an extra 50 yuan."

Xiao Wang said very sincerely: "The 300 million is the payment for goods. The 50 is my brother's personal money. My brother is in trouble now, so I will temporarily lend it to my brother."

Zhou Shui grabbed Xiao Wang's hand and said, "My brother has climbed high, and we will be brothers in the future."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Wang stretched out his hand: "Brother, let's high-five as an oath."

Zhou Shui and Xiao Wang clapped three palms in succession and smiled at each other.Zhou Shui said: "Brother, you just said private money, isn't this shop yours?"

Xiao Wang said: "This store is a joint venture of four people, two Taiwanese, one Chinese American, and me."

Zhou Shui said again: "It's such a big deal just now, you are the master alone, it won't cause you any trouble, right?"

Xiao Wang smiled and said, "Brother, do you think I'm such an unreasonable person?"

Zhou Shui was a little embarrassed: "Brother is worrying too much."

Xiao Wang said, "Should I go to Chang'an Daisi to open a room for you?"

Zhou Shui shook his head and said, "No, I'm leaving now."

Xiao Wang said: "Wait a minute, I will ask my brother to take you back to Qinyang."

Zhou Shui thought for a while and said, "That's fine." Xiao Wang made a phone call, and after a while, a young man walked in, tall, thin, very handsome, about 20 years old.

Xiao Wang introduced Zhou Shui: "This is my younger brother, named Xiaojie. This is Brother Zhou, brother's good friend." Xiaojie said very politely: "Hello, Brother Zhou." Zhou Shui nodded with a smile head.

Xiao Wang sent Zhou Shui out, Xiaojie drove a Mercedes-Benz, Xiao Wang took a few steps to open the car door for Zhou Shui himself, and Zhou Shui sat in the back seat.And Xiao Wang waved goodbye.

Xiaojie turned on the navigation and chatted with Zhou Shui while driving. Through Xiaojie Zhoushui, he had some preliminary understanding of Shubai Thatched Cottage: This company mainly focuses on Ming and Qing jade wares, and also sells bamboo and wood tooth corner products. Known for its professional integrity, it is a company with a good reputation.

After about an hour, I arrived at the gate of Qinyang No.1 People's Hospital.After sending Xiaojie away, Zhou Shui felt so hungry that he spread out a set of pancakes and fruits at the entrance of the hospital, and walked to the emergency room while eating.Walking into the place where Bai Lao was treated last night, there was no Bai Lao and no escort arranged by Zhou Shui.A dark cloud surrounded Zhou Shui's heart.Just when the nurse passed by, Zhou Shui grabbed her arm. The nurse was startled and asked, "What are you doing?"

Zhou Shui said, "Where was that old man last night?"

"died"

"Dead? What disease did you die from?"

"Heart attack."

Zhou Shui ate half of the pancake fruit and fell to the ground with a "baji".Zhou Shui has been busy running around recently, and he is already a little bit overwhelmed.With Bai Lao here, Zhou Shui can still hold on.Bai Lao is gone, and Zhou Shui's energy has been relieved.The body sat softly on the ground.

At this time, Du Juan came over, saw Zhou Shui's appearance, and hurriedly hugged Zhou Shui's waist and dragged Zhou Shui up.Asking "what's going on?"

Zhou Shui burst into tears: "When did the old man die?"

Du Juan didn't understand it for a while, and asked, "What do you mean it's gone?"

Zhou Shui said angrily, "He's dead."

Du Juan said, "I just came from Bailao. Who made this rumor?"

Zhou Shui pointed to the bed where Bai Lao lay on last night: "Where is the person?"

Du Juan said "Hi" and said, "Are you stupid? Still living in the emergency room all this time? I was transferred to the ward in the morning."

Zhou Shui let out a long breath, picked up Du Juan and spun around a few times, attracting crowds to watch.Putting down Du Juan, the little girl blushed.Zhou Shui said, "By the way, why did you come here?"

Du Juan said: "I'm afraid you won't be able to find Bai Lao, and I'm anxious. No, it's up to you." Zhou Shui was moved in his heart.

The ward is on the third floor, Yan Jing accompanied Bai Lao, Zhou Shui went in, and asked Yan Jing, "How is it?"

Yan Yan said: "Occasionally open your eyes, look around and close them again."

Xu Shi heard Zhou Shui's words, and Bai Lao opened his eyes again, and saw that it was Zhou Shui. Bai Lao stared at Zhou Shui with his eyes fixed, and Zhou Shui knew what Bai Lao was thinking.He said in Bai Lao's ear: "Dad, my friend has gone to pick up my father, and I will definitely be back this evening." After thinking about it, Zhou Shui added two sentences: "I have only learned the superficial features of his old man these two times. " Having said that, Bai Lao seemed shocked, staring at Zhou Shui with anticipation in his eyes.

Zhou Shui added: "Don't worry, I will let Uncle Chen and my younger sister look after the house. We are all here, and there will be no thieves at home."

Bai Lao seemed relieved, and slowly closed his eyes.
