Chapter 4 You Liang

Unexpectedly, the only time I opened the door early, the business was unexpectedly booming. Many young people at work would buy some milk bread and other things in the morning. However, these people all looked listless and muttered with sore hands and feet.

"It seems that there must be something that everyone doesn't remember when Tongmu Community last night." So many residents in the community were sore in their hands and feet, which was a little strange. I became more and more determined.

"What was born in the community? Hehe, old classmate, do you still remember me?" A young man with greasy and pink face suddenly walked into the city gate. The young man was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and had a strong sense of vigor. However, his appearance betrayed him, his sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, and his classic two-part head gave people the impression of being funny and petty clown.

"Brother Fangwan, do you really don't know me anymore?"

Looking at his shiny head, a vulgar figure jumped in my heart: "You Liang?"

"Haha. I didn't expect that Brother Fanghuan still remembers me, an old classmate. I have been missing for two years. At that time, more than 30 old classmates in the class were still engaged in construction. Others have gone to all walks of life. However, what they do is either related to politics or more or less professional. But you, an old classmate, are you doing this "antique" industry that is not related to architecture. But antiques are good. If you don't open for a year, you will eat for three years."

You Liang walked around the city counter, his triangle eyes flashing left and right, looking around, as if looking for something, but finally he shook his head, looked at me, laughed, and asked mysteriously, "But others have chosen to open an antique business in antique street, why do you choose such a remote place? If you are not an acquaintance, and if you can't find it, will it affect the business?"

I was shocked when I had something to say. Sure enough, I would not go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. But since I dared to do this, how could I have no solution? I blurted out the words I had already prepared: "Oh, poor families, the rent is so expensive, and they are not enough to make ends meet. It's better to be here, close to home, and when there is no business, you can do market-making business. You know, it's getting harder and harder to support a family these days."

"Oh, is that?" You Liang suddenly lowered his voice and turned his gaze to the small door leading to the warehouse and said, "The antique business is not easy to do. Although it doesn't open for a year, it's been three years. But the competition is fierce. Not to mention three years, it's a bit difficult to actually open once in ten years, right? I think it's better to get the business of the pot. What do you think, old classmate?"

"What do you mean?"

I was shocked and said it was an antique business, but how many real antiques are there? The good goods have been bought by experts long ago. I can only drink soup occasionally and work alone. Not to mention supporting her, I am afraid that even paying full rent is a problem.

Moreover, my ability is the same as my appearance, not outstanding, and I did not find a better way out after graduation. So, I bit my teeth and finally chose a faster and more direct way, that is, the dead money. Although I don’t rob the tomb, I helped buy the antiques from the tomb, or be an intermediary, and contact the buyer. However, most of the people who came to me on their own initiative were regular customers, otherwise they were introduced by regular customers. Although they robbed small rural tombs and there were not many valuable antiques. But they were always considered reselling cultural relics, which violated national laws and regulations, and they were required to pay compensation and go to jail. So I was extremely careful on weekdays. Except for those few business customers, no one knew that I had the dead money.

Seeing my nervous look, You Liang's face showed a smile that grasped the situation of the battle and said, "Hey, old classmate, don't be nervous, I was introduced by Lao Hu."

Seeing the smile on his face, I felt unhappy for no reason, but since it was introduced by Lao Hu, I had nothing to worry about. After all, Lao Hu is an old acquaintance.

"Follow me." I pulled the rolling shutter door of the market and walked out of the warehouse with You Liang. When I reached out to open the door, I suddenly paused and asked, "Lao Hu, is he okay now?"

"Okay, he is now a new star in the tomb robbers and antiques in Tong'an City, and he is a millionaire."

I heard You Liang's envy and shook my head helplessly. It has been more than a year since I was separated from Lao Hu. I am afraid that the road between me and him will go further and further in the future.

I quickly opened the door, sat on the red wooden chair, handed a cigarette, burned a pot of boiling water, and asked, "What's the matter? Just say it, I don't like to beat around the bush."

"I haven't seen each other for two years, can I reminisce about the past?" You Liang sat down, lit a cigarette, raised his thighs, and looked like he was enjoying himself.

"I haven't seen each other for two years. I think you come to me, not as simple as reminiscing about the past." I said contemptuously.

"Happy." You Liang took a sip of the cigarette suddenly, "There is a deal, 50,000 yuan, I don't know if you dare to do it."

"Fifty thousand?" I was shocked. Most of the antiques I resold in the past were hundreds or thousands, and the most expensive ones were only ten thousand. As soon as he opened his mouth, it was 50,000. For me, it was indeed a huge amount of money.

"Not enough?" You Liang continued, "There is no danger. Your job only needs to identify the most valuable antiques and select them for me. As for tomb robbers, I found a more professional person to do it, and those cultural relics do not need to be intermediary or taken away through you. As long as you simply identify antiques, you can get 50,000 yuan. There is no risk, so why not do it?"

"Fifty thousand indeed made me excited, but I spent 50,000 yuan to take someone to do antique appraisal. It seems that there is no need for this."

Hearing the implication of the words, You Liang poured the soaked boiled water into the teapot, skillfully brewed a cup of tea, and laughed and said, "Hmph, the situation in each of them is relatively complicated. The tomb land is recorded on an ancient sheepskin map. I am not a holder, but just an investor. The things obtained from the tomb must be divided equally. You know, even antiques are divided into the high and low. What I want is that you will choose the most valuable things for me. After the matter is done, I will give you another 50,000. This job is simple. If you move your eyes, you can get a hundred thousand, worth it!"

"Do you want to be evil?" I glanced at You Liang, but I didn't expect that this kid was still so bad-hearted.

After eating the tea, You Liang lit a cigarette again, leaned on the big chair, and said proudly: "This is not a black man. The other party is a veteran tomb robber. How could he not have the ability to identify antiques? I am afraid that he will eat me. Hehe."

"Where is the pot?" Since it is their internal intrigue, I don't care much. It's really that 100,000 yuan is too attractive. As long as I finish this ticket, after the Momo's high school entrance examination, the tuition fee for college is enough. Maybe I can take her out for a trip and relax!

"Huangling, Shaanxi, is a peerless ancient tomb nearly 5,000 years ago." You Liang was full of excitement when he spoke, and his fingers holding cigarette butts actually trembled slightly.

"Huanglingqiaoshan? Are you going to steal the tomb of our ancestors?" I was shocked.

"Qiaoshan? Haha, isn't that a tomb? Besides, it was revealed on it as early as the 1970s. Now there are heavy guards. Who can steal it?" You Liang smiled, then looked at me, and regardless of my frowning brow, he took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and walked out, "Since that's the case, I'll pick you up at twelve o'clock tonight. The schedule has been decided for one week. Then you will be my cousin, an unemployed vagrant, with the purpose of seeing the world, ancient tombs and antiques, and you will not take any money. Listen to Lao Hu's introduction, you are very talented in antique identification, and I hope you won't let me down."
