When Wu Ansheng was in class, he didn't write a novel or listen to a class, he was thinking about the antique shop.

I don't have much money, celebrity calligraphy and painting, and high-end jade don't need to be considered, but I can sell some wood carving and strange stone gadgets.

He has to find a cheap and high-quality purchase channel first, it doesn't matter whether he is famous or not, but the thing must not be fake and shoddy.

Wu Ansheng took a pen and stabbed the fat man, "Fatty, ask you something."

The fat man looked at the phone intently, and said impatiently: "If you have something to say, don't disturb me to chat with the goddess."

"Do you know where the wholesale antiques market is?"

The fat man looked at him strangely, "Isn't Da Zhuang's father doing this, oh, you have amnesia."

Wu Ansheng was overjoyed, it would be easy to do it if he had acquaintances, "You send a message to Da Zhuang and ask him and Xiaotian to come out for dinner at noon."

When the fat man heard the invitation, he smiled and said, "OK, how about wrapping it on me, how about going to eat barbecue?"

"Roll".

Wu Ansheng sent a text message to Qi Sixia and Liu Huayi in advance, so that they didn't have to wait for him to eat.

You have to say hello to these two people in advance, otherwise you might make some trouble again.

After school, the four met in a small restaurant outside the school, but Wu Ansheng did not mention the matter, and asked them to eat first and talk after they were full.

During the meal, the fat man did not forget to chat with the goddess, and from time to time he let out lewd laughter, and those who listened were cautious.

Da Zhuang pointed at the fat man and asked, "Brother Sheng, what's wrong with him?"

Wu Ansheng waved his hand: "It's okay, his spring is coming."

Huang Dingtian had almost eaten, put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, "Brother Sheng, I'm full, what's the matter with you calling us here?"

Wu Ansheng lit a cigarette and said, "Today's main thing is to ask Da Zhuang for help, and your matter will be negotiated with him."

Da Zhuang asked suspiciously, "Brother Sheng, what can I do to help you?"

"Your father was a wholesaler of antiques?"

Da Zhuang nodded: "Yes, he has been doing this for many years, but he can't make any money, and he sells some gadgets such as wood carving seals."

Wu Ansheng picked up the wine glass and touched it with Da Zhuang, "How is the quality? I want to buy a batch of goods from my uncle."

Da Zhuang said proudly: "Brother Sheng, it's not that I'm boasting, my dad can't do anything else, but carving wood carving is a must." It's a pity that he is too honest and won't go out to fool people, so he can only work hard at home.

I persuaded him to go out and set up a stall, but he didn't agree, saying that he was a craftsman and that he couldn't do business."

Wu Ansheng took a sip of wine, "Okay, I still want some calligraphy and paintings, does my uncle have any acquaintances in this area?"

Da Zhuang shook his head: "I don't know, I'll give you my dad's phone number, and you can talk to him yourself?"

Wu Ansheng took out his mobile phone to check the time, it was not yet a little bit, "In this way, I will go directly to your house now and have a face-to-face interview with my uncle."

The fat man stared at the phone and said, "Brother Sheng, I won't go, you don't have to worry about me."

Wu Ansheng sighed, licking dogs is really a magical species.

After settling the account, he took the two of them to Da Zhuang's house, which lived in an urban village, and the house was a small bungalow with a yard in front of the door, and the yard was piled up with messy wood.

A middle-aged man was sitting in the courtyard carving wood carvings, he was concentrating on carving patterns on the wood, the man's hands were covered with calluses, and there were many wounds on his index finger and thumb.

Sun Jiuzhang saw his son coming back, stopped what he was doing and said enthusiastically: "Taotao, do you want to bring your classmates over to play?"

He shouted to the house, ", go pour some glasses of water," but no one in the room responded.

Wu Ansheng smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with him, his palm was rough, like a dry old bark.

"No need uncle, I'm actually here to find you."

What is a high school student looking for himself, Sun Jiuzhang asked puzzledly: "Is the little classmate going to buy wood carving?"

Wu Ansheng handed him a cigarette, "Uncle, I have a shop in Fangtai and want to do antique business." I heard Da Zhuang say that you are in this business, so I took the liberty to disturb you."

Sun Jiuzhang became more and more puzzled, "Classmate, you want to open an antique shop in the mall? I have never heard of this, does your family know?"

Wu Ansheng smiled indifferently: "Uncle, don't worry about this, in short, I want to buy wood carvings from you, and I also want you to introduce friends who sell calligraphy and paintings."

Sun Jiuzhang couldn't make up his mind, glanced at his son, and Da Zhuang stepped forward and said, "Dad, it's better to sell to Brother Sheng."

Why did this sound so awkward, Wu Ansheng got goosebumps, "Uncle, what is the wholesale price of your wood carvings here?"

Sun Jiuzhang pointed to the wood in the yard and said: "The left is cheap material, ranging from ten yuan to dozens of yuan, and the material on the right is more expensive, about a hundred." If there are special requirements for the shape and pattern of the wood carving, additional money will have to be added."

Wu Ansheng was quite satisfied with the price, he walked around the yard, picked up a piece of brown wood and played with it.

The appearance of the wood is smooth and delicate, the wood is corrugated, the wood muscle has ripple lines, and it smells a faint wood fragrance, and the quality is really good.

Wu Ansheng dropped the wood and said, "Uncle, can you lend me the wood carving in your hand?"

Sun Jiuzhang handed over the semi-finished product in his hand, and the first feeling he had when he took it was mellow, probably by Sun Jiuzhang.

The semi-finished product only has one lower body, which is carved with a hundred flowers fairy, and the skirt and flowers have not been completely carved, but it is enough to see Sun Jiuzhang's profound skills, and this trip is not in vain.

Wu Ansheng returned the semi-finished product to him, measured it and said: "Uncle, I want to order thirty in the first batch, including twenty small pendants, whatever you engrave, as long as the quality is in place."

There are ten pieces of wood that are slightly larger, but not bigger than your head. These ten wood carvings are all carved with strange things, and the more bizarre the better.

I'll give you a fixed price directly, four thousand, if this batch of goods sells well, I'll give you extra money, do you think?"

When Sun Jiuzhang heard the big list of 4,000 yuan, he said happily: "Cheng, I still take advantage of this price, I'll give you some stones."

Da Zhuang looked at his father dissatisfied, "Dad, why are you so stingy, and you are embarrassed to take out a few broken stones?"

Sun Jiuzhang glared at his son, "You know a fart, those are all strange stones that I have worked so hard to pick up, each one is full and plump and crystal clear, and I am reluctant to give it to ordinary people."

Wu Ansheng was a little curious, "Uncle, take it out and take a look."

Sun Jiuzhang said yes, turned around and walked into the room to get the strange stone.

Da Zhuang pulled him and muttered: "Brother Sheng, my dad is like this, he is very obsessed with stones, don't be surprised."

After a while, Sun Jiuzhang came out with the stone, Wu Ansheng looked at the stone in his hand and was dumbfounded,, isn't this a special pearl.

Sun Jiuzhang said proudly: "How is it, isn't it beautiful?"

Wu Ansheng's eyes lit up as he stared at the egg-sized pearl, "Uncle, how many such stones do you have?"

Sun Jiuzhang said nonchalantly: "It's a lot, this thing is not valuable, and no one accepts it on the market, I picked it up and collected it myself."

Wu Ansheng was surprised, what's wrong with this world, aren't pearls worthless?

"Nobody takes this thing?"

"Yes, who wants a broken stone?

Wu Ansheng understood that there is no marketing hype about pearls in this world, so it is not worth much.

The reason why pearls in later generations were expensive was because merchants claimed that pearl powder had the effect of beauty and beauty, which fried the price of pearls.

Wu Ansheng asked, "How many do you have, are they all so big?"

Sun Jiuzhang said proudly: "There are all in the warehouse, and there are bigger than this."

"Okay, I see, does this thing have a name?"

Sun Jiuzhang scratched his head: "No, I always call it a strange stone."

"Then I'll get one for it, call it Pearl, what do you think?"

Sun Jiuzhang muttered the word pearl in his mouth, tasted it carefully for a long time, and then praised: "A good name, worthy of being a person who has read books."

The time was not early, Wu Ansheng bowed his hand and said goodbye: "Uncle, you should do the wood carving as soon as possible, tell me, my store over there is about to open, you can send this pearl with you when you arrive, just ten first."

Sun Jiuzhang said: "No problem, but didn't you say that you still want to buy calligraphy and paintings? I have a friend who does this business, and you don't see it?"

See a fart, there are pearls, what calligraphy and painting do you need?

Wu Ansheng said perfunctorily: "You look at the arrangement, just buy a few pieces." I won't be here tomorrow, and I'll let Da Zhuang bring you the money."

Da Zhuang and Sun Jiuzhang waved goodbye, "Dad, let's go back to school, you can have a snack about your brother."

Sun Jiuzhang scolded with a smile: "I know, I still have you to say, study hard, don't make trouble for Lao Tzu."

......

The three of them took a car and hurried back, Huang Dingtian sat in the co-pilot, turned around and asked, "Brother Sheng, you haven't said what I'm going to do."

Wu Ansheng lay on the chair and scraped his temples with two hand wheels, closed his eyes and said: "You help me run errands, I have time to go to the market these days and order a batch of wooden shelves and glass counters."

"Good".

Wu Ansheng said to Da Zhuang again: "Da Zhuang, come to Seventeen Middle School tomorrow morning to find me to get money, I will give you 7,000, 5,000 for my uncle, and the remaining 2,000 for Xiaotian."

The two shook their heads and said in unison: "Brother Sheng, don't have so much."

"Take it back, what, you think this money is for you?"

Da Zhuang and Huang Dingtian smiled awkwardly, and Da Zhuang asked, "Brother Sheng, are you sure you can make money?"

Wu Ansheng opened his eyes and stared at the front of nothingness, "To be honest, I don't know, let's try my best."
