Hearing You Xiaofu say this, Meng Zitao and Lao Song couldn't help but look at each other, and Lao Song said: "He won't be reading a book like "Learning XX from Scratch", right?"

You Xiaofu said with a smile: "It's about the same, that book is called "Antique Collection", and it was half-bought and half-delivered from the scrap yard, and I can't even see the name of the publishing house." ”

For this answer, both Meng Zitao and Lao Song felt very incredible, and Lao Song said: "Then how can he make money?

You Xiaofu said: "This, it is also more amazing to say, my cousin has an amazing intuition about the old and the new of antiques, and I don't know if it is the relationship between the book, or my cousin's intuition is more amazing, or both." However, intuition is a spiritual and inoperative thing, so he has suffered a lot of losses, and this time it is even more miserable. ”

"The reason why I said that he was unreliable, in addition to this, is that he does not listen to the persuasion of others, I have told him before, take time to make up the foundation, he always said that this industry experience is the most important, he is now receiving goods, is accumulating experience, no need to read, and no time to read. ”

Through You Xiaofu's introduction, Meng Zitao gradually pieced together the image of Fan Dingxi in his mind, able to bear hardships and stand hard work, but he has no tendons, and he is self-righteous, or more intuitively, this person has a very stubborn personality.

At this time, Lao Song asked a key question: "Xiao You, do you mean that the good things your cousin said are all what he thinks?"

You Xiaofu nodded and said, "Therefore, it is possible that Shopkeeper Meng will also run in vain, or it will not be much gain." And my cousin is actually quite difficult to bargain, even if I lead it, I guess there won't be much discount. ”

Lao Song turned his head and asked, "How is it, are you still going?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "Go, how can you not go." We don't even know what the thing is, so we decide not to go, isn't that a waste of opportunity?

Lao Song nodded and agreed with this.

Meng Zitao continued: "Xiao You, when do you have time?"

"I'm just doing odd jobs, and I have time at any time, that's the ......" In the end, You Xiaofu rubbed his hands a little embarrassed.

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "You said that the commission is right, there must be this, we have a rule in this industry, and we will give you a hard fee at that time, what do you think?"

You Xiaofu asked a little weakly: "Shopkeeper Meng, what is three into two?"

Meng Zitao explained with a smile: "If you become a seller, the transaction is done, and you will take out 3%; Of course, if you think it's less, the commission can also be negotiated. ”

The rules of breaking two into three are relatively old, and there is also a head, the old society because it is an agricultural civilization, emphasizing self-sufficiency, and not paying attention to businessmen.

This can be seen from Bai Juyi's popular poem "Businessmen value profits and ignore separation".

Merchants are already like this, let alone brokers, with one mouth and one touch of upper and lower teeth, the trade is done. The brokers who originally promoted trade became bad people in the eyes of the Chinese people who had worked hard for thousands of years to get rich because they "got something for nothing", and they should be killed if they were not guilty.

So in the past, broker was a derogatory term, and because of this, there was a rule of breaking three and breaking two.

However, in the antique industry, it is not a lot, after all, a thing moves tens of thousands, and if you take a road to move your mouth, there will be hundreds of accounts, which is not bad.

Of course, news is also a resource, and in recent years, labor costs are getting higher and higher, and the rule of breaking two is sometimes a little less, so it is normal to negotiate.

You Xiaofu hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper Meng, you are really polite, just have some labor fees, and the commission is not needed." ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Since it is a rule, this thing must still be done." ”

Lao Song said: "Okay, Xiaoyou, my brother Meng is not short of these money." But I warn you, don't partner with your cousin to make a little more money, do you know?"

You Xiaofu hurriedly waved his hand: "Brother Song, what you said, no matter how I do, I will never do this kind of thing!"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Xiao You, I like to explain things clearly first, what about this hard work, there must be more or less at that time, as for how much, it depends on your performance." In addition, the money is mine, and I can spend it however I want, but there is one thing that I will definitely not be wronged. ”

Anyway, it's time to get a preventive shot, what You Xiaofu will do, that's his business.

Next, the two agreed to leave the day after tomorrow, and everyone started drinking. ……

The next day, Lao Song called, saying that he had learned some information from the three Yao brothers, and the person who asked them to do things was contacted through an intermediary, so they didn't know who the other party was.

As for the middleman, it has now disappeared, and Lao Song said that there is a way to find someone, but it takes time, and money is also essential.

Meng Zitao now hates the person behind the scenes, no matter what, he has to find someone, and with Lao Song's help, there is no need to bother, how can there be no reason not to agree.

However, he has also decided in his heart that for half a month, if Lao Song can't find anyone there, then he will definitely go to someone else for help.

On Wednesday, Meng Zitao drove himself and set off with You Xiaofu, the reason why he decided to drive was to experience a long-distance drive, and on the other hand, it was also because it was more convenient to have a car if there were many things.

The place where Meng Zitao and they are going is an important city in south-central Anhui, the copper capital.

From the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, it is the main production area of bronze, and now the people of the copper capital are proud of this history, and there is a copper culture museum, and the copper commodity cultural exchange meeting is often held, and many place names and building names have copper characters.

Although driving is hard, the freshness of the first long-distance drive, coupled with the customs of a different place, still makes Meng Zitao feel quite interesting. Of course, there are also reasons why the ability to improve physical fatigue is also possible, otherwise there is no fun when you are tired like a dog.

You Xiaofu's cousin's house is located in the countryside of Tongdu, with convenient transportation and not far from several surrounding cities, which brings great convenience to "shoveling land".

After nearly four hours of driving, Meng Zitao finally arrived at his destination. Speaking of which, apart from economic factors, the rural areas of the two places are still relatively similar.

There is just one point, there are not many traditional houses in southern Anhui along the way, and many have been demolished to build new houses, which makes Meng Zitao somewhat regretful.

Due to the early departure, when Meng Zitao arrived, it was just time for dinner. Originally, Meng Zitao decided to find a restaurant to have a casual meal, but You Xiaofu told him that he had made an appointment with Fan Dingxi and went over for dinner at noon.

The car stopped in front of Fan Dingxi's house, and the two saw a car parked at the door.

After Meng Zitao parked the car, he asked, "Xiaoyou, did your cousin buy a car?"

You Xiaofu shook his head: "Probably not, if he can afford a car, how can he change his career." Maybe it's some kind of guest. ”

As for what kind of customer it is, needless to say, it is likely that it is an antique dealer or collector who came to receive the goods.

You Xiaofu said a little embarrassed: "Shopkeeper Meng, I'm sorry, I have already told my cousin before, let him not sell things to outsiders for the time being, you see ......"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "It's okay, you can't let others come, your cousin will drive people away." ”

With that, he got out of the car, and You Xiaofu followed.

Just as the two of them walked towards the door, they saw four people walking out together, three of whom were relatively close and well-dressed.

The rest of the one, walking behind the three of them, looked to be in his thirties, with a dark complexion, some vicissitudes on his face, a hint of stubbornness between his eyebrows, and a relatively ordinary dress. If nothing else, it should be Fan Dingxi, Xiao Xiaofu's cousin.

Seeing Meng Zitao and You Xiaofu, the three people walking in front, a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes.

"Xiaofu, you're here. ”

Fan Dingxi's eyes lit up, and he greeted him with a smile on his face, and enthusiastically stretched out his hand to Meng Zitao: "This is the Meng shopkeeper of Ling City, welcome, welcome!"

"Hello. Meng Zitao smiled and stretched out his hand to Fan Dingxi and shook it, as for the reason why Fan Dingxi was so enthusiastic, in fact, it is not difficult to guess that it is nothing more than taking advantage of the situation.

Sure enough, hearing Fan Dingxi say this, the eyes of the three people behind him were somewhat complicated.

They glanced at each other, and then, one of the middle-aged men took the lead and walked over, and asked Fan Dingxi with a smile: "Boss Fan, I don't know who this is?"

"This is the shopkeeper Meng from Lingshi. Fan Dingxi then introduced Meng Zitao: "This is the shopkeeper Jiang. ”

"Jiang Lexian, fortunately. The middle-aged man took the initiative to sign up and stretched out his hand at the same time.

"Meng Zitao, long admiration. Meng Zitao stretched out his hand and shook the other party.

Jiang Lexian said: "Shopkeeper Meng, it may be a bit presumptuous to say this, I have been to Lingshi a few times, and I often communicate with Shopkeeper Xi, but I really have no impression of you." ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Jiang, you shouldn't have been to Lingshi for a long time, my store opened on November 2nd, and the location is in the original 'Boguxuan'." ”

When Jiang Lexian heard Meng Zitao say this, he had an impression: "Bo Guxuan? I remember that it used to be the shopkeeper of Qin, right? Why is it so good, and it won't be opened again?"

"Shopkeeper Qin can be regarded as suffering from an unwarranted disaster...... Meng Zitao briefly said Zhao Tiepeng's matter: "Later, with Uncle Wang's help, I took down all the two families." ”

"Oh, I see. Jiang Lexian's face showed a look of understanding, and then asked, "I take the liberty of asking, who are you talking about Uncle Wang?"
