Chapter Seventy-Five: A Great Tribulation Strikes
His financial resources are basically reselling antiques, and the biggest problem is instability, although he has a divine eye and can pick up leaks, but in the whole world, how many leaks can he pick up?
Zhao Yang knew that it was not a way to go on like this, he had to find a way to open a store, and when the time came, he would not have to rely on the unreliable way of picking up leaks to make money, and he would not have to worry about Tang Qiancheng's revenge.
But if he wants to open a store, he has to find someone to help, Su Jingnan.
Su Jingnan was too busy during this time, if Zhao Yang remembered that she also asked herself to find a gift for his grandfather, but this matter has been put on hold by herself for a long time, of course, this is not because Zhao Yang is lazy, mainly because she did not find the right thing.
Recently, he has spent too much money, and it is not a way to go on like this, only to enter and not leave, and he is afraid that he will not be able to afford a pleasant antique at that time.
Zhao Yang, who was sleepy, fell asleep when he went home, and when he woke up again, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.
He rubbed his eyes, and then saw that it was actually eight o'clock in the morning, and he was about to go back to sleep, but who knew that he heard a person's gasp next to his ear.
Frightened, he sat up directly, and when he looked back, he found that the person lying next to him on the bed was none other than Xie Xiaolong.
"Ah, Brother Yang, you're finally awake. Xie Xiaolong yawned and said, "I'm ...... Asleep?"
Zhao Yang nodded slightly, and then said, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that Xu Sande played all night, and he couldn't bear to wake you up just now, so he fell asleep. ”
Xie Xiaolong said embarrassedly: "Brother Yang, I'm sorry." ”
"It's okay, what about yesterday, how was it done?" Zhao Yang asked aloud.
Xie Xiaolong hurriedly said: "It's all according to your requirements, the things have been given, and the money has been lost to him." ”
Zhao Yang nodded with satisfaction: "That's it." ”
Looking at his appearance, Xie Xiaolong frowned, and he asked curiously, "Brother Yang, what are you trying to do, just tell me." ”
Zhao Yang smiled and said, "Do you know how to fish?"
"Fishing?" Xie Xiaolong looked at Zhao Yang suspiciously.
Zhao Yang slowly explained: "Fish are very vigilant animals, generally do not bite the hook, in order to make it easier for the fish to bite the hook, anglers will use bait to feed in one place on a regular basis, gradually, fish will often eat the bait fed here, this place is called the fish nest."
Zhao Yang stretched his waist and said: "Over time, the fish has developed a habit, they will always wander around here, waiting for food, and his vigilance will also be reduced. ”
"Then our money is the bait we scattered?" Xie Xiaolong frowned and said, "But are we scattering too much bait?"
"No more, no less, just right. Zhao Yang said with a smile: "You have been losing money to him, and you can give him things worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, he will be curious about what you are doing tomorrow, and when the time comes, you will only say that you are selling antiques, and the rest will give me a sloppy eye no matter how he asks." ”
"Understood, Brother Yang. Xie Xiaolong scratched his head and said helplessly: "But Brother Yang, let's talk about it, don't let me come in the future." ”
"Don't worry. Zhao Yang patted him on the shoulder heavily and said, "I've worked hard for you this time, and I will definitely find a way to compensate you when the time comes." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a phone rang at this time, and Zhao Yang answered it, and the other party was none other than Uncle Gao's voice. "Uncle Gao, why did you call me?" Zhao Yang knew how busy Uncle Gao usually was, and if there was nothing to do, he would never call him.
"There's something I want you to help with. Uncle Gao's voice was a little low and hoarse, and it sounded as if he had just finished heavy goods.
Uncle Gao asked for his help, but Zhao Yang naturally refused back, he agreed, and without a moment's delay, he went to the place provided by Uncle Gao.
Bypassing the streets and alleys, he came to a relatively remote alley, the alley is a little narrow, and on the right is a fishy drainage canal, this place is surrounded by high walls on both sides, and there is usually no sun, so there is a lot of mold.
There were people waiting for Zhao Yang at the mouth of the alley, and when they saw Zhao Yang coming, the person who greeted him walked out and waved at him.
Zhao Yang was puzzled in his heart, he didn't know what was so mysterious.
I followed the man into the small courtyard, there were two large vats in the courtyard, covered with lids, I don't know what was inside, there was no other special place outside of it, it was the most normal courtyard.
As soon as he came to the courtyard, Uncle Gao pushed the door out, and waved his hand at Zhao Yang with a solemn look in his eyes: "Xiaoyang, it's too good for you to come, we have something to discuss with you." ”
"We?" Zhao Yang heard the difference in the words in his words, so in fact, there was not only one person looking for him.
"That's right. Uncle Gao said softly: "After entering the house for a while, you have to be careful, there are all bigwigs in the antique world, all of them are more antiques than antiques, and they have a lot of rules, but when the time comes, you just listen to me, and you must not let them give you a horse." ”
Zhao Yang nodded slightly, he knew in his heart that he was the person brought by Uncle Gao, and if he didn't perform well, it would also be Uncle Gao's face.
Zhao Yang followed into the room, only to see that there was a large Western-style table in the room, a modern energy-saving lamp hanging above his head, and more than a dozen people were sitting in the whole room, all staring at him closely.
He instantly understood what this place was.
Council Chamber.
Uncle Gao once told him that what problems the ghost street encountered might affect the peace of the entire antique world in the capital, and it was the elders of this council hall who dealt with the big and small problems.
This is the so-called inner door, and the collectors and appraisers on the outside are the so-called outer doors.
A few people at the table control almost half of the market in the ghost street, and 80% of the precious antiques in the capital, they are either famous collectors or the owners behind the antique shop.
He looked up and found that most of the people here looked like they were in their sixties, and there were seven or eight men of the same age as Zhao Yang in the corner, but they didn't even have seats, so they could only stand in the corner and listen.
Although he was standing, Zhao Yang also recognized a person, who was clearly the owner of a large antique shop on Ghost Street, who was only in his early thirties now, and he could be regarded as a leader in the industry, but he didn't expect that there was no seat to sit on.
Uncle Gao just waited for Zhao Yang to walk in, then pointed to a seat on the right side of the table and said, "Zhao Yang, where are you sitting." ”
Zhao Yang didn't know what was going on, nodded obediently, and just as he was about to sit down, an old man with a dogskin hat smiled and blocked Zhao Yang's way.
He didn't look at Zhao Yang, but said to Uncle Gao: "Xiao Gao, let a young man sit down, this is not timely, right?"
Uncle Gao didn't sit down, he glanced at the old man quietly, and then said, "It's really inappropriate, what do you mean by Uncle Song?"
"Like the younger generation, it's okay to stand aside. The old man said with a smile.
The door is very particular about the number of seats, the elders sit, the juniors can't sit, even if there is a position, they can't sit, in the eyes of Song Lao, although this uncle brought this person to discuss things, but after all, he is still a junior.
Zhao Yang really hates this kind of rotten rules, and it is this kind of rule that restricts the development of the antique world.
Uncle Gao shook his head at this time and said, "This is not appropriate, he is the person I brought in." ”
"Whoever brings it can't break this rule, that position just can't sit. ”
"Huh. Uncle Gao nodded: "Uncle Song's lesson is that since you think he can't sit there, I have a way to do both." ”
Saying that, he waved his hand at Zhao Yang, and said calmly: "Zhao Yang, you sit with me, and I just stand." ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?"
Uncle Gao said indifferently: "I just let him sit in my place, don't worry, I gave up my place, so I just stand." ”
Listening to his words, the old man's expression was a little embarrassed, but he still didn't say anything after all.
"Your position, you have the final say. The old man smiled and nodded, then turned his head away.
Zhao Yang didn't want to sit down, but when he saw Uncle Gao's eyes, he seemed to understand something in his heart, and slowly sat down in Uncle Gao's place.
Uncle Gao stood behind him, looking around.
Elder Song can let Uncle Gao stand, but there are Uncle Gao's juniors at this table, according to the rules inside the door, Uncle Gao is standing, and they all have to stand along.
In desperation, a man wearing glasses who looked to be only thirty years old stood up and said to Uncle Gao: "That Uncle Gao, come and sit with me." ”
"Aren't you tired from standing?" Uncle Gao walked towards him.
This sentence almost choked the man with glasses, but Uncle Gao neither shirked nor thanked him, but asked him if he was tired from standing.
"Not tired. He said stiffly.
Song Lao frowned, and said with a cold snort: "Who is that, you come here to sit!"
Since this Uncle Gao has given up his position like this, he also wants to let Zhao Yang sit down, although Song Lao is reluctant in his heart, he can't say anything.
The man with the eyes nodded gratefully, if he really wants to stand with his juniors, how embarrassing it should be for a while, this Song Lao can be regarded as saving him.
But what everyone didn't expect was that before the man with the eyes had time to take a step, a cold voice came from the side.
"Don't move! I can't sit in that position, no one is allowed to sit!"
Zhao Yang looked around at everyone and said with an indifferent expression.
