Chapter 22 Selling One Million to Lin Haitao

"Lao Mao, what...what's going on?!" Wang Zhong said with wide eyes. He couldn't believe his ears. Lao Mao actually apologized to the "murderers".

"Wang Zhong, stop messing around!" Lao Mao turned around and yelled angrily, "You guys are suspected of fraud and intimidation. Let's go and talk to the bureau!"

"But...where are they?" Wang Zhong pointed at Jiahao and the others.

Lao Maoyi said sternly: "They are victims. If necessary, we will ask them to come to the bureau to take notes. Let's go, why are you still walking around in a daze?!"

As he said that, he pushed Wang Zhong hard and called on other police officers to arrest the others, including the unlucky bald guy who was covered in bruises.

"Brother Lin, what's going on?" After the police took away Wang Zhong and others, Jiahao looked at Lin Haitao and said.

"Brother He, it's okay, don't think about it!" Lin Haitao patted Jiahao on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I'm sure those idiots won't dare to trouble you again! Let's go, we are all hungry.

Let’s go to the Chenghuang Temple Food Street to eat.”

"Well, let's go." Jiahao calmed down. Since Lin Haitao said that, what else was he worried about?

At this moment, he felt very lucky, thinking that he had met noble friends. Lin Haitao and Dewey were by no means ordinary people. No one could offend them. They were the only ones who bullied others.

Dewey's whipping with the belt just now was very satisfying to watch. His "whipping skill" was very accomplished, and Jiahao admired him endlessly.

Then the group of them happily came to the nearby "Food Street". Today was the food festival, so the place was crowded and very lively.

Jiahao and the others first sat down at a barbecue stall with the name "Xinjiang Authentic Mutton Skewers". The six of them ordered a lot of mutton skewers and a lot of beer.

"Brother Lin, Brother Du, let me toast you first."

Jiahao picked up a full glass of beer. He toasted to Lin Haitao and the others in a somewhat excited mood. After clinking the glasses with them gently, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. It was so satisfying.

"Brother Du, thank you. I really thanked you just now. I didn't expect you to be a hidden master!" Jiahao then toasted to Dewey and expressed his gratitude.

Jiahao is now very confident. He just got the inheritance inexplicably, and he found that it is really useful, because in the past, he would feel dizzy after drinking two glasses of wine, but now he feels nothing at all. It seems that this inheritance is still useful.

It's good.

"Brother He, you're flattered!" Dewey chuckled and said, "That's just a small trick. I hate people threatening me the most. Didn't he say he's good at whipping people, so I'll show him! You don't have to be so polite.

Yes, Haitao is my brother, and you are his friend, then you are my friend and my brother! Come on, I will toast you too, just call me if you need anything in the future! I work at the Vilas Art Museum, I

Now I’m doing photography and painting.”

"Xiao Du is very good at painting and very talented. I have always believed that he will become a great painter in the future!" Lin Haitao interjected.

"Brother Tao, stop praising me, I'll be proud." Dewey said, shaking his head.

Everyone was talking, laughing, eating and drinking.

"Brother Yao, I have a heartfelt invitation." After three rounds of wine and five dishes, and almost finished eating, Lin Haitao suddenly said solemnly to Jiahao.

"Brother Lin, if you have anything to do, just tell me directly. As long as I can do it, I will do my best!" Jiahao said without hesitation.

With Lin Haitao helping him like this, if the other party had any requests, it wouldn't be a problem.

Just listen to Lin Haitao say: "The thing is like this, my grandpa, he will be celebrating his 70th birthday soon, and I want to give him some birthday gifts. Like us, he is also a collector, and

I am particularly obsessed with it. To tell you the truth, I learned it from his hands. He is famous all over the world. My grandpa likes to collect ancient wine vessels. I saw that he didn’t seem to have received a rhinoceros horn carved wine cup, so I thought..."

"Brother Lin, do you want to buy this rhinoceros horn cup?" Before Lin Haitao could finish speaking, Jiahao said very boldly, "Since you like it, I will give it to you! It doesn't matter how much it costs!"

If it could be given to Lin Haitao for free as a favor, he would be willing to do so, but this was impossible. The other party was not a greedy person. He was not short of money, so naturally he would not ask for it in vain. How could he be embarrassed?

Lin Haitao said happily: "Brother Yao, thank you very much. My grandpa must like this thing very much! Now he will be happy. As for the price, don't worry, I won't treat you badly. In fact, you have this thing

I have already thought about it. If I send it to an auction company, it will definitely not be a problem to sell it for more than one million! The person just now was not talking empty words. How about this, I will give you one million, and you give me the thing?

"

"One million?!" Jiahao said in surprise, "Brother Lin, how can I ask you for so much money?! You also know that I bought it for fifteen thousand. I don't need so much. We are acquaintances, of course.

I’m going to give you a discount.”

Lin Haitao said: "If you sell me one million, it's already a huge discount. If you give it any more, you'll suffer a big loss. I feel bad about it. Hey, just agree! I don't like to compete with others."

Fight, your stuff is so good, I deserve to give you one million! Do you know, you are doing me a big favor! My grandpa will have his birthday soon, but I am not prepared at all now, and I

My cousins ​​are all prepared, and I don’t want to be at a disadvantage when the time comes! But it’s great now. With such a treasure, I’m not afraid that my grandpa won’t like it!”

"Then...it's done!"

After hesitating for a moment, Jiahao nodded heavily.

"Brother Yao, if it's convenient, let's go to the bank to do transactions later, right?"

After Jiahao agreed to hand over the rhino horn cup to Lin Haitao, Lin Haitao was naturally extremely happy and said immediately: "Of course, if you want to play with it again, let's wait a few days."

But Jiahao shook his head and said: "You are in a hurry, so you should get it as soon as possible. There is actually no good use of this thing in my hands."

"Haha, in that case, I'll give you the money after you finish eating." Lin Haitao said happily, as if he couldn't wait to get the rhinoceros horn carving.

Lin Haitao bids one million for things. Jiahao is already very satisfied. His ideal price is no more than this. Although the things may be sold for a higher price if they are sent to an auction company, it would be too troublesome to sell them now.

Lin Haitao not only achieved a relatively high price, but also gave away a favor. Isn't this a great thing that kills two birds with one stone?

So at this moment, Jiahao was also very happy. He had gained a lot from this trip to the Chenghuang Temple. He didn't expect that he would accidentally pick up a big leak in such a small place on Temple Street and gain some inheritance.

After eating enough mutton skewers, Jiahao, Lin Haitao and the others went to other food shops and stalls to eat some good food, and everyone ate to their heart's content.

At about three o'clock, the three bosses said they were going back first, and then left. Lin Haitao then sent Dewey away first, and then drove Jiahao straight to Antique Street.

"Brother Yao, what exactly are you doing now?"

In the car, Lin Haitao suddenly asked Jiahao. After all, he and Jiahao had only known each other for a short time, and his knowledge of each other's situation was limited. Now that the relationship between the two of them had suddenly become so much closer, naturally, they both wanted to know each other.

The other party is more profound.

Jiahao couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head and replied: "Brother Lin, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I'm still an unemployed vagrant. But I have just graduated and originally wanted to continue to take the postgraduate entrance examination because I didn't pass the exam last time and my family conditions are not good.

Unfortunately, I don’t have the energy to repeat my studies, so I chose to go out of school and find a way to make money for my family.”

"You are the number one scholar in the three hundred and sixty industry. Brother Yao, I think you are very successful in the antique industry." Lin Haitao said with a smile, "Then you will be engaged in the antique business full-time for the time being? I am very curious.

Yes, from whom did you learn antique knowledge? For example, I lived in my grandfather’s house since I was a child. He has always been interested in collecting, so I learned some appraisal knowledge indirectly. Later, after graduating from university, I concentrated on this industry, so I followed me.

My grandfather began to study systematically and is now in the internship stage. Mr. Deng and my grandfather are very good friends, so he arranged for me to study with Uncle Jiang at "Jianbaozhai"."

"Then you are so kind!" Jiahao exclaimed, "To tell you the truth, I have never learned appraisal knowledge from any master. I just studied archeology myself. I read a few related books and liked it.

History, so I slowly learned to collect.”

He really envied Lin Haitao. Lin Haitao had a good family background and his grandfather, a great expert, taught him behind the scenes. It was strange that he didn't learn any real kung fu.

"Are you self-taught?!" Hearing this, Lin Haitao said in surprise, "Brother Yao, then you are self-taught. That's amazing. It shows that you have a very high level of enlightenment!"

"How can I be self-taught?" Jiahao shook his head and said, "Just playing around, and I am an archaeologist myself, so I know a little bit about it."

Lin Haitao said: "How can you pick up so many treasures while just playing around? Brother Yao, you are too humble! But you have no job and are still so young, so you should enrich yourself. What are your current plans?

"

Jiahao said: "I do have a job at hand, but it has not been confirmed yet. I don't know if the other party is willing to hire me. This job was introduced by the boss. I work in a research institute in the city. I am now waiting for their notification."

"Oh, is that so?" Lin Haitao said suddenly, "I have already heard Brother Dou say this. It's just..."

He paused and continued with thoughtful eyes: "It depends on what you think. You won't have much freedom when you go to the institute, and you won't be asked to be responsible for a project alone when you first go. And now you have

Don’t you have a relatively sufficient amount of funds? I personally suggest that you open an antique shop yourself, so that you can make money while doing business and learn at the same time.”

Jiahao nodded solemnly and said: "I have thought about it too. But the level of identification is far from adequate, and I don't know what I'm doing, so I'd better study first."

What Jiahao wants most now is to "learn from a master". It would be perfect if he could learn from a respected collector in the industry like Lin Haitao, but unfortunately he has not yet had this opportunity.

"Brother Yao, I have something. I wonder if you are interested in it?" Lin Haitao asked suddenly. When he asked this question, he looked solemn and looked very serious.

"Oh, what's the matter? Brother Lin, tell me." Jiahao said hurriedly. Although Lin Haitao hadn't said it yet, he had vaguely guessed that what the other party wanted to tell him should be related to the antique industry. For such a

He was naturally very interested in these things.

Lin Haitao said solemnly: "Here's the thing, there will be an event at 'Jianbaozhai' the day after tomorrow. Come and participate."

"Can I go?" Upon hearing Lin Haitao's words, Jiahao immediately cheered up. He had already learned some information about "Jianbaozhai" from the boss. It was not an ordinary antique shop.

In addition to antique trading, there are also treasure appraisal and other activities from time to time, but these are only exchanges between their internal staff, outsiders are not eligible to join, but now that Lin Haitao has introduced them, it should not be a problem.

Jiahao knew very well that if he could join Lin Haitao's team, he would be able to meet many experts. There might be some masters willing to accept him as his disciple. In that case, his wish would be fulfilled.

"Of course you can go!" Lin Haitao said decisively, "I will take you there."

"Well, that's great!" Jiahao said with surprise and joy.

Jiahao and Lin Haitao chatted enthusiastically, and no one knew how long it had passed before Lin Haitao drove the car to a bank near Antique Street.

Jiahao had already negotiated with Lin Haitao just now, so according to their agreement, the two quickly made a deal. He Qing handed over the rhinoceros horn carved wine cup to Lin Haitao, and Lin Haitao spent all the one million funds

Transferred to his designated account.

After completing the transaction smoothly, Lin Haitao warmly invited Jiahao to visit their antique shop again.

Anyway, there was nothing to do in the rest of the afternoon, so Jiahao followed Lin Haitao to the "Jianbao Zhai".

When he came to "Jianbao Zhai", Jiahao found that there was a customer inside, and Uncle Jiang seemed to be showing something to that person.

"Brother Yao, it seems that a boss brought an ancient painting for appraisal. Let's go and have a look." Lin Haitao greeted.

"Yeah." Jiahao nodded in agreement.

He then followed Lin Haitao and walked up. When he turned on the detector and glanced at the ancient paintings spread out on the table for appraisal, he was shocked.

It is shocking to see that the painting is covered with a ball of white light!

It's so white and has a silky feel, very thick!

This was a phenomenon he had never seen before!

"Why does the light feel so thick?!"

Looking at the extremely intense white light in front of him, although it was very strong but not dazzling, Jiahao was surprised. His first reaction was that the antique was extraordinary, otherwise how could it emit such a strong white light.

Previously, Jiahao had vaguely seen the pattern of the detector in his body. The greater the value of the collection, the stronger the "treasure light" emitted, because the collection embodies a person's strong will.
