Chapter 5 [The First Pot of Gold]

Beijing Liulichang is probably a place that everyone knows. There are all kinds of cultural relics identification, ancient books, rare books, carvings, stone, calligraphy and paintings. My home is not far from Liulichang, and to the west is Hepingmen. A few hundred meters ahead of Nanxinhua Street, you can see the quaint street.

However, although Liulichang is famous, its popularity is actually much lower than other antique markets in Beijing.

Because most people who make antiques have more or less vigilant mentality, but all the shops in Liuli Factory are authoritative in the industry. In other words, on this street, you may not be able to buy real things after spending a lot of money, but the items you buy at a low price must be inferior goods, and others will not give you the chance to pick up the goods.

After getting off the rental, Zou Yue'e walked side by side with me: "I have a customer here. If you want to sell things, you can ask him, maybe you can raise the price."

"Okay, I'll bother you." The rain was much lighter, so we didn't hold an umbrella.

"Don't be polite, I'll bother you." Zou Yue'e looked around with charming eyes, "The environment here is really good. By the way, my mother went to Beijing to see me, but my house is too small now, and the rent that is paid every three months is about to expire. Do you know where to rent a house nearby?"

house?

I don’t know about other places, but my house in the east house of Siheyuan and Aunt Liu’s house are just empty.

But I don’t know what my mother has to do with Zou Yue'e, so I dare not tell her directly, if my mother doesn’t deal with her, wouldn’t she have done something bad?

"You ask my mother, she should know." I simply pushed the question to my mother.

"Okay, I'll ask Sister Cui when I go to work tomorrow."

I have saved many memories in Liulichang. At that time, there was a white marble bridge. My father often took me to fly kites. A few of us children often slide on the slope stone steps at the entrance of Rongbaozhai. Over time, the stone steps were polished with two naked marks by our feet. But a few years ago, when Liulichang was renovated, the stone bridge was demolished, and even the traces on the stone steps in front of the shop disappeared. I am a nostalgic person. I always feel that the current Liulichang has no original taste.

Zou Yue'e took me to a store called "Tengyuange" in Kuili, Xilichang.

The small door is much worse than the century-old shops such as Yidege and Rongbaozhai.

"Boss Sun, don't be fine."

"Oh, isn't this Manager Zou?" Boss Sun, who was about thirty years old, came out from behind the glass booth. "What wind has blown you, sit down quickly, Xiaona, make a pot of Tieguanyin."

Boss Sun brought us to the rattan chair in the corner with his hands. When he bent down, his eyes swept over Manager Zou's plump buttocks. I am also a man, so I noticed Boss Sun's little movements that were unknown to him.

Zou Yue'e crossed her legs intentionally or unintentionally, "You haven't placed an order in our company one day, and she thought you forgot me."

"How can it be?" Boss Sun smiled and said, "Now, I haven't finished drinking the tea I bought last time. The business is not good, and there are no customers."

"Just be modest. Opening is enough for you to eat for three years. Is this a business a bad thing?" Seeing his eyes looking at me, Zou Yue'e put her left hand on my shoulder, "This is my nephew. Don't look at him as young as a young man, but an expert in the family. I'll just ask my nephew to help pick things up. Don't fool us."

Uh, when will I become your nephew?

"Look at what you said, I can't fool you, right?" Boss Sun pointed to the booth on the east side: "It's all good things, you can just watch it."

Tengyuan Pavilion has a lot of business projects, including jade and jade, calligraphy, painting and porcelain.

After walking around the store with Zou Yue'e, I pointed out three or two good things for him, but real things mean real prices. Zou Yue'e thought it was expensive and didn't buy it. Finally, she called Boss Sun: "My nephew has bought a piece of jade, you can help him see it first."

As soon as I heard this, I handed the jade token to him.

"No problem." Boss Sun took it in his hand and looked at it, weighed it, and said, "Mingqing card, a serious old worker, not bad, it's a good thing."

"How much do you think?" Zou Yue'e asked.

Boss Sun said without hesitation: "I can't say this, it depends on how much you want to sell."

Zou Yue'e rolled her eyes with a "good" look, "Boss Sun, we have always been in a relationship. Give me a real price. If it is suitable, the jade tag will be transferred to you. If it is not suitable, you have to find a suitable buyer with Liuli Factory. Anyway, I'm going to waste you today, so you can do it."

For those who can become sales managers, there is no need to mention their communication skills.

Boss Sun smiled bitterly: "Okay, I'm afraid of you, can't you? To be honest, jade tags are good things, but the only regret is that the jade material is not very good. Well, you are busy wandering around the Liulichang. It's a big deal if this Ming and Qing tag can be sold for 15,000 yuan." He pondered for a while, "Well, 16,000 yuan, this is the highest price I can pay."

I guessed that 16,000 was already no more than 16,000, and nodded to Zou Yue'e quietly. This is the code we had discussed before coming.

But Zou Yue'e hugged her shoulders, looked at Boss Sun, and took a sip of the tea: "Twenty thousand."

"Oh, this card cannot be sold at auction for 20,000 yuan. You have to make me earn a little, right? 17,000 yuan, no more." After bargaining for a while, Boss Sun surrendered helplessly: "...Okay, okay, 18,000 yuan, 18,000 yuan, 18,000 yuan, oh, the old man knows that it's time to scold me again, young man, wait a moment, I'll ask Xiaona to get you money."

It's 18,000, almost up to my mother's annual salary.

Holding two stacks of heavy paper tickets, I swallowed and spitted dryly, and I don’t know what I felt.

Walking on the street of Liulichang, Zou Yue'e stepped on her high heels and patted me with a smile: "It's getting late. I have a dinner party to have a social event in the evening. Let's go back first. Well, I'll go to Panjiayuan tomorrow and buy a little bit of it to give it to him."

Not only did I not help her, I also borrowed her light to sell the jade token for a good price. I felt relieved, "Why do I go with you tomorrow?"

"No need, it's not easy for you to have a summer vacation, so have fun."

I said oh, and said, "Then can you not tell my mother about the antique city yesterday? Just say that we met by chance. Cough cough, I'm afraid my parents are worried." Don't talk about my parents, now when I think back to yesterday's scene, I'm still a little scared, 800,000, which almost made me suffer a lot of debt!

"I'm really a filial son, okay, I get it."
