Chapter 276: Painting Cakes
"What if he doesn't want to participate in antique games, but only wants to buy antiques?" the young man felt a little unreliable.
Zhou Qi shook his head and said, "I have to think of a way to try to get him to participate in the game...... You go check this first, and then you'll talk about it when you're done. ”
An hour later, the young man went out of the store to inquire about the news, and Zhou Qi waited uncertainly for the news in the store. After twenty minutes, the young man came back, but the news he brought back made Zhou Qi quite helpless: according to the news that the young man bought from those taxi drivers, this Song Si'an did take a taxi, but did not go to a place like a hotel, but asked the taxi driver to lead the way and got off in a café.
The taxi driver who took Song Si'an complained on the radio, that young man was really picky enough, and he picked several cafes in a row before deciding which café to go to. Although the car price is not less, but when encountering a lot of passengers with this kind of thing, the taxi driver is also annoyed enough.
This news is basically useless, and Zhou Qi was quite disappointed after learning the news. He bit his lip and pondered for a while, asked Song Si'an which café he got off the bus, and went out.
……
In winter, it gets dark early, almost five o'clock, and the street lamps on both sides of the road are lit up. At this point, all kinds of shops are lit up with neon signs in front of them, and the streets are also brightly lit when you look down from the tall buildings.
Zheng Zheng sat in front of the window facing the street, smoking a cigarette and looking down at the brightly lit street from a high place.
Although the streets are brightly lit, the pedestrians are really good. It's no wonder that this is not a busy city after all, and the number of pedestrians is very limited.
There was a glass of water on the table next to him, and there were two-thirds of it left, but his lips were a little dry, and it looked like he hadn't touched the glass for a while.
There was also an object on the table, which was a telescope that Zheng Zheng had bought from an outdoor store on the street. This telescope is not expensive, that is, a hundred or ten dollars, but the effect is quite good.
Extinguishing the cigarette butts in his hand in the ashtray where a lot of cigarette butts had accumulated, Zheng Zheng adjusted his sitting posture that had not changed for a long time, and relaxed his somewhat stiff back and legs.
Since entering this room, Zheng Zheng has been sitting here, not leaving half a step, and he has not even been to the toilet. The biggest action he ever made was just moving his hands and feet while staring at the street below.
Before his hands and feet moved, Zheng Zheng, who had been looking at the street downstairs, raised his eyebrows, grabbed the binoculars on the table and put them in front of him, and looked towards the street downstairs.
There's a storefront on the street downstairs with a café open. For a café, this not-so-bustling street is a good place.
There is a street lamp in front of the café, and the lights are bright, which illuminates the front of the café clearly, which is a lot of lighting in front of the café.
And this café is facing the room where Zheng Zheng is now.
Slightly adjusting the telescope in his hand, through the telescope, Zheng Zheng locked his eyes on a taxi that stopped in front of the café.
The taxi had just stopped in front of the café, and it was nearly a minute before the passenger stepped down from the passenger seat. The man looked up at the café's sign and walked into it.
Through the binoculars, through the light of the street lamp in front of the café, Zheng Zheng saw the person who entered the café clearly: "Hello...... Zhou Qi. It's so much fun to come and drink coffee in the middle of the night......"
Seeing Zhou Qi enter the café, Zheng Zheng put the binoculars aside, picked up the water cup and drank it "dong dong", and drank a glass of water to the sky, which can be regarded as quenching his thirst. He stood up, twisted his shoulders and moved his muscles, and finally relaxed a lot in the series of knuckle sounds.
Looking out the window, Zheng Zheng put on a cigarette and muttered to himself, "Oops...... Lao Tzu didn't even dare to drink more water in order to wait for you, for fear that the toilet in the middle would leak you. But the hard work pays off, I'll wait for you after all. ”
"Zhou Qi, Zhou Qi......" Zheng Zheng flicked the cigarette ash and exhaled a turbid breath: "You finally took the bait." ”
If you want to enter the game in a small circle, according to the general process, you must have a person in the original circle to be introduced, so that you can enter the small circle and participate in the game relatively smoothly. Zheng Zheng couldn't find someone in the antique game circle in Trois-Rivières City to introduce him, but fortunately, this circle was not particularly closed, and he still had the opportunity to enter this game.
The first step is to get in touch.
According to the news that Liu Guanjie inquired from those buyers, this game has an antique shop on the bright side, and while doing antique business, the focus of this antique shop is to use the advantages of antique shops to find reliable buyers with enough purchasing power and know the details of the other party after doing business. If you don't have a referral and want to enter the game, you can only do a few deals with the antique store until the antique store feels that the buyer is qualified to enter the game, and the antique store will contact the buyer privately and invite them to participate in the game.
For Zheng Zheng, this method is not suitable, not to mention whether Zheng Zheng has the time to do a few business with them An Anshengsheng, just taking out a lot of money in his pocket to the other party to buy antiques that he does not lack at all, which is enough for Zheng Zheng to deny this method. His original intention was to take a good look at this treasure hunt game, and now that the scourge has not yet been done, he will first send money to the other party to strengthen the other party? This is too far from Zheng Zheng's original intention.
So contact can be contacted, but if you want to get into this game, you have to use some other way.
That's the second step: get the other person interested.
Antique stores exist to select suitable buyers to participate in the game, and this criterion is not harsh to put it bluntly, but it is just that you have money and know the basics. Of these two conditions, money is obviously the more important point, and as long as there is enough money, this second rule cannot be ignored.
So what Zheng Zheng has to do is to be a rich man, and he has to be a rich man who can try to make the other party relax his vigilance. He took Wang Di as the model, and then performed it appropriately, and finally played the image of a rich second generation who had a sense of superiority and developed a bad habit of commanding in the upper echelons all year round. Coupled with the million-dollar Patek Philippe watch temporarily used from Wang Di, Zheng Zheng's image of the rich second generation is even more complete.
The two hours of picky selection in the antique store were to see what the other party's bottom line was, and secondly, Zheng Zheng was also to force all the cards that Zhou Qi could play.
Just imagine, a rich second-generation rich person comes to choose antiques, the price is low, and the seller takes out everything he can take, but this rich second-generation buyer still doesn't match.
And in addition to these things on the surface, this seller also hides other valuable antiques - it is obvious that if there are not enough gimmicks in an antique game, it will not attract enough players to participate in the game - although this antique cannot be taken out casually, but in the face of such a buyer with strong purchasing power, what choice will this seller make?
Of course, these are not enough, and if you want to get the other party to take the bait, you have to go to the third step, which is to throw a bait.
When Zheng Zheng forced all of Zhou Qi's cards, he couldn't take out an antique anymore, but he still didn't mention the ancient game, Zheng Zheng knew that this was still a fire, and there was still a bait that could make Zhou Qi tempted.
That 50,000 yuan is not a large amount, at least for Zhou Qi, who can casually take out a piece of 400,000 jade Ruyi, this is not a particularly large amount. However, it is used as bait to further establish its image of "not bad money", and the size of this bait is just right. If the number is too small, the other party will not care, and if the number is too large, the other party will be suspicious, so a small number is just right.
But throwing this bait out like this, Zhou Qi, who can swallow his anger and smile and greet people, naturally does not lack the shrewdness to think one more step, so this bait needs to be packaged one step closer: after throwing the 50,000 yuan, Zheng Zheng threw out a request - a request that looks troublesome, but in fact Zhou Qi does it or not, Zheng Zheng basically doesn't know, but it can prove that Zheng Zheng has a request - and then drew a cake for Zhou Qi.
If Zhou Qi can find an antique that Zheng Zheng likes, then Zheng Zheng will pay Zhou Qi 30% according to the purchase price of the antique, which means that if Zhou Qi finds an antique with a transaction price of 1 million for Zheng Zheng, then Zheng Zheng will pay Zhou Qi another 300,000 as a thank you.
And Zheng Zheng, who has more than 1 million on his wrist and disdains 1.8 million antiques, how much is the value of the antiques that can be seen? 3 million, 5 million? And how much can Zhou Qi, who can get 30% of the transaction price, profit from it? 1 million, or more?
After establishing his image, Zheng Zheng doesn't need to spend any effort, as long as he throws this cake, Zhou Qi, who has already seen Zheng Zheng's "net worth", will paint this cake quite big.
And after doing this step, what Zheng Zheng has to do is the last step, and it is also the step to verify whether what he did before has any effect: he wants to see if the other party has taken the bait.
A rich second generation who has money and purchasing power is quite suitable to enter ancient games, the only problem is that the identity is not clear enough. If Zhou Qi is really interested in himself, needless to say, he will definitely use various methods to check his details.
And what Zheng Zheng wants is for Zhou Qi to check himself. For Zheng Zheng, this is the most useful evidence to prove that Zhou Qi took the bait.
