Reborn to be rich

Chapter 55 The Golden Rat
It was already the evening of the 21st when Zhang Guodong and Zhang Guotao took the train all the way to the capital. After getting off the train, Zhang Guotao was already a little unsteady in walking, and the excitement he had when he first took the train was gone.

I opened a room next to the train station, and Zhang Guodong saw a roast duck restaurant next to it, so he went in and had dinner.

The capital city is indeed prosperous, much more prosperous than Chang'an City. The streets are full of pedestrians, and the various products in the shops on both sides are dizzying.

Zhang Guodong took his younger brother into a men's clothing store. The imported jackets were mainly sold here, and each piece of clothing cost more than 200 yuan. Zhang Guodong bought a suit for himself and his younger brother, and even bought a pair of shoes and a hat.

"Brother, why do we buy such expensive clothes? And this hat costs 68 yuan." Zhang Guotao thought he was just going in for a walk, but he didn't expect his brother to actually buy it. Now that he spent more than 800 yuan, he didn't mind No wonder it hurts.

"The purpose of buying clothes is to sell these things. You should put away the clothes and use them in a few days."

After listening to Zhang Guodong's words, Zhang Guotao didn't speak. The shopping guide saw that two old-fashioned young people bought clothes worth nearly a thousand yuan so casually.

After leaving this brand store, Zhang Guodong took his younger brother to an ordinary shopping mall and bought three sets of clothes by himself. It only cost more than 80 yuan after buying. This time Zhang Guotao didn't say anything.

After staying in the hotel for one night, Zhang Guodong and his younger brother put on ordinary clothes, which made them look no longer alienated from the outside world.

Came to a car rental company next to the train station, a receptionist took the brothers into an office.

"Sir, what kind of car do you need to rent? We have all kinds of cars in our company, Toyota Crown, Santana, Fiat, Citroen, Lada Niva, Polonaise, as long as you need us, we have all kinds of cars. The price of trucks and buses is also the lowest in the industry." A handsome young guy introduced to Zhang Guodong.

"What's the price of renting Santana for one day?" Zhang Guodong doesn't need a luxury car yet, he just needs a car that can transport him.

"The new Santana purchased by our company last month happened to be available today. How many days would you like to rent?"

"How much does it cost for ten days?"

"Our Santana rental fee is 500 yuan a day. If you rent it for 10 days, you can calculate it at 380 yuan. You need to pay [-] yuan in advance as a deposit."

"I still need to rent a pickup truck. I wonder if you have any here?"

"I need to check the pickup, please wait a moment!" After the man left, a young beauty poured coffee for the two brothers.

"Brother, why do we rent a car? Rent two at a time." Zhang Guotao took a sip of coffee and spit it out bitterly, but when his tongue just got used to the taste of coffee, he stretched out his head and asked Zhang Guodong quietly.

"Don't ask so many questions, you can drive a pickup later, and I'll tell you when you get there!" Zhang Guotao knows how to drive a tractor, as long as he is a little proficient, he will be fine on the road.

After a while, the man who received them came back.

"Sir, the company has a pickup truck, but it is relatively old. If you still rent it for ten days, you can count 200 yuan a day, what do you think?"

"I won't bargain with you anymore. The Santana pickup is 10 yuan for 5000 days. We need it urgently. If it exceeds one day, it will be calculated at 550 yuan. If you return it early, you don't need to refund it."

"Since you said so, sir, then fine! Check the car outside. If anything goes wrong in the past ten days, you will be responsible. This is the contract!" Zhang Guodong checked the contract and signed it without any problems. It happened that Zhang Guodong, an agricultural bank, paid 15000 yuan and the car was theirs for the time being.

"Sir, do you need a driver? 20 yuan a day is for an old driver with three years of driving experience." Before Zhang Guodong left, the man was still selling him.

"no thank you!"

Zhang Guodong got on the Santana and tried it, and he still felt that there was no problem in the past. Zhang Guotao got on the small pickup, and he was a little uncomfortable at first, but he soon drove it without any problem.

After driving out of the rental company, Zhang Guodong went on the third ring road all the way to the east, and then slowly drove out of the third ring road near Panjiayuan. He parked the car on the side of the road, and soon Zhang Guotao also stopped behind him.

"Put on that jacket. Try not to make any noise later. It depends on whether we can get the things out this time." After Zhang Guodong finished speaking, he changed into his clothes in the car, and immediately became a man of success. Zhang Guotao put on his clothes and got out of the car, and no one connected him with rural people anymore.

Drive to Pingle Village, which is only a few hundred meters away from Panjiayuan and more than 500 meters away from Fukang Hotel.

Pingle Village is still in the semi-development stage, and many old houses are still being demolished and rebuilt. Zhang Guodong came to a housing agency and saw that there were not many people there.

"Is there a house in Pingle Village? I want to rent a single courtyard." Zhang Guodong said to the lady at the front desk.

"Yes... yes... just wait a moment!"

The lady at the front desk saw two people who were not in simple clothes want to rent a private house, so she hurriedly called her manager over. If this kind of big client is involved in pornography, their wages will be deducted.

"Hello sir, are you going to rent a single house? We have many yards here that can help you choose."

"Can you rent the second courtyard in the first row of Beihu? I just saw that the courtyard is pretty good." Zhang Guodong is very familiar with this place. He even knows how many people in this village are doing antique business. There are dark chickens in the yard.

"It seems that you are very familiar with our area, sir. The yard is still there. I wonder how long you want to rent it?"

"Ten days!"

"Ten days? If you only rent for ten days, it will cost 240 yuan! Although there are not many rooms in the courtyard, the courtyard is very large, and there are front and rear doors that can be directly driven in. If you drive and work in the city, this courtyard is the most suitable !" The manager continued to introduce, and he wanted Zhang Guodong to rent more time, so that he could earn more.

"Okay, that's it, 300 yuan as a deposit? It's 540 yuan in total. Click and bring the contract." Zhang Guodong quickly completed the yard rental procedures. After the two drove into the yard, Zhang Guodong turned around and looked at the contract. The circle has not changed much as imagined, it just looks newer.

"Brother, what are we doing here?" Zhang Guotao was very puzzled, he thought he could just go home after selling things in the capital, but Zhang Guodong planned to live there for a long time.

"It's not that simple to sell things. There are many people watching you from behind here! If you want to sell things smoothly, you must keep a low profile. You just stay here these few days and don't go out. Don't open the door except for me..."

Zhang Guodong explained everything to his younger brother, went out of the yard and bought the vegetables and snacks that he would eat for the past few days, and had lunch in the newly rented house. Then he opened the bag containing the antiques and thought about it Packed all the gold and silver into a bag, took a few rarer gold coins on his body, and drove out.

Driving from Panjiayuan all the way to Ganjiakou, Zhang Guodong drove into a dilapidated courtyard house, and two young people walked over as soon as he entered the courtyard.

"Eight catties, monkey hair! Where's the golden retriever brother?" After saying this, Zhang Guodong suddenly realized that the two of them still didn't know him.

"Who are you, how do you know the two of us, what are you looking for Brother Jin for?" Ba Jin was still curious about why a car came today, and he was a little happy to hear that the other party knew him. He could drive a car at this time Not many people.

"Oh, I almost forgot to introduce it! I'm from Yazuitou, and I recently bought some good things. I heard that Brother Jin also likes this stuff, so I came over to have a look." The real name of the golden mouse is Jin Hao. He followed him. Jin Hao grew up in a military compound and had a lot of connections in the capital.

"Wait a minute, I'll go in and ask Brother Jin!" Monkey Mao ran to the inner courtyard. Jin Hao usually does business with some acquaintances, and new business is often taken out of traps, so he must be very cautious.

"Come in!" The monkey hair came out after a while, and Zhang Guodong looked amused at the still immature face of the monkey hair, no wonder he became Jin Hao's confidant in the end, so he had already followed Jin Hao at this time.

When Zhang Guodong walked in, he saw a 30-year-old young man sitting on the sofa with a big golden chain hanging around his neck, which was his habit.

"Why, the kid is a bit strange! Where did he get it?" Jin Hao told Zhang Guodong that he was so young, and he didn't want to be someone who could make fun of himself. He pointed to the sofa beside him and motioned him to sit down.

"Thank you, Brother Jin! I'm from Xujiaping, not far from Yazuitou. Who knows that Brother Jin collects antiques from Yazuitou. A few brothers went to the countryside to collect some things a few days ago. I picked some good-looking ones. If you don’t come to Brother Jin, can you give me more money?” Zhang Guodong speaks with a Beijing accent, even if he is not a native of the capital, he has been here for a long time, so Jin Hao has some confidence in his origin.

"You know that I do business at Yazuitou, but do you know Du Hong and Ma Liu?"

"This, little brother Ma Liu knows, the brothers even drank together! Du Hong forgive my ignorance, I really haven't heard of it!"

"Haha! Then Du Hong is just a small person, so it's okay if you don't know it! Brother, since he brought things to me, he understands the rules here!" Jin Hao laughed, and he completely believed in Zhang Guodong's identity at this time.

"Of course I know. They are all ordinary gold and silver jewelry. We dare not touch things banned by the state!" As he said, Zhang Guodong poured out all the things in the bag.

Jin Hao is a fan of antiques. He learned these things from his grandfather since he was a child, and his level of identification is no worse than that of professionals. He looked at everything and nodded silently.

"I've seen the things. This golden bell is worth 3 yuan. Other things are relatively ordinary. How about I give you a premium of 1.2?" Jin Hao couldn't help playing with the little golden bell.

"Okay, the price given by Brother Jin is real. I still have a few things here. I don't know if Brother Jin likes it or not." Zhang Guodong took out 4 gold coins from his arms as he spoke, and Jin Hao's eyes were immediately attracted.

"Hehe! Little brother is not simple. I know that my golden mouse likes this thing. The panda gold yuan in 1864 is hard to see now, and there is also Jinqiao in 89. You don't just want to sell me something today, right? !” Jin Hao asked playfully.

"Brother Jin is still great. Brother, I want to go to the Fukang Restaurant. I wonder if Brother Jin can give Zhang Jin a sticker?"

Zhang Guodong came here for the entrance pass to the auction house under the ghost market, otherwise these things would be sold at more than these prices.

"Okay, an invitation is nothing! I, the Golden Mouse, don't take advantage of you. I'll give you 4 yuan for the four gold dollars."

"Then there are more Jin brothers!" Zhang Guodong said with a smile.

金银首饰承重完毕，总共价值4万8千元，按照溢出价格1.2倍计算就是10万5千6百块。

Zhang Guodong waited for more than ten minutes, and saw Ba Jin take out a bag from the back and put it on the table. Zhang Guodong opened it and it was 19 yuan. He confirmed that the money was all right in front of Jin Hao, and then he tied the bag tightly again. Say thank you.

There are rules in the industry. When it comes to trading, it is respect to ask for money, except that the room does not recognize each other. If you don’t pay, the other party will know that you are a novice.

After taking the money out of Gan's house, Zhang Guodong deliberately circled around the third ring road a few times before driving eastward without finding anyone following him.The auction invitations of Fukang Hotel are not so rare, but it is difficult to get them if you do not enter this circle. Zhang Guodong knew that Jin Hao must have invitations, and he could easily get them if he wanted, so he found him. However, after the ghost market transaction is over, Jin Hao will definitely investigate himself in Yazuitou, and this road cannot be followed in the future.

Back in Pingle Village, Zhang Guodong found an agricultural bank to save all the money, brought some snacks at the night market outside, and knocked on the door three times when he returned home, and soon heard a voice coming from inside, Zhang Guodong continued After knocking on the code a few times, it was because he was afraid that he would be held hostage. Zhang Guodong had discussed with his younger brother. In this strange capital, the two brothers had to be very careful about everything.

It was only after eight o'clock after dinner, and Zhang Guotao liked the newly rented house very much. Not to mention that every room was lit, and there was a black and white TV in the living room. He had been playing with the TV all afternoon, and he could already Switched the station yourself.

"Brother, this capital city is much more prosperous than ours. Not to mention the lights in every house, there are TVs, electric fans, and tape recorders. It would be great if our whole family could live here." Zhang Guotao couldn't help but fantasize.

"What do you do here? This yard costs 500 yuan a month, and even people who work in the capital can't afford it. It's not impossible for our family to move here, but what are we going to do here?"

"Hey! That's all I'm saying, but Wen Bin and Wang Le must never have imagined that we could live in such a nice place."

After dinner, the two of them went to bed, and slept until one o'clock in the morning. Zhang Guodong put on his clothes and went to a side room to wake up his younger brother. They put on ordinary clothes this time, and they were going to Panjiayuan to visit the ghost market for the first time.

Zhang Guodong knows that this market is considered relatively safe. There are managers patrolling the market non-stop. They may not be from government units, but as long as you dare to take out the treasures prohibited by the state here, the police will come within a minute. .
