Qian Dexiang knocked the expert out of the door, and took a few things for scientific appraisal early the next morning, and the results were consistent with what the experts said.

It is said that on the day he got the appraisal report, Qian Dexiang went back with a black face. When he arrived at the door of his house, he looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "What experts, what scientific tests, whoever says I don't believe it, I just believe in myself, you are all blind!"

In this way, Qian Dexiang went crazy, and until now, he is still living in his delusions, treating those fakes as treasures.

Moreover, the old Qian couple wanted to send Qian Dexiang for treatment, but Qian Dexiang said that he was not sick, and if he was in a hurry, he would commit suicide.

Seeing that his son was no different from ordinary people in other respects except for the abnormal treatment of the fakes in that room, Lao Qian and his wife could only go with him while thinking of a way, hoping that their son could return to normal as soon as possible.

Although Meng Zitao felt that Qian Dexiang's parents were very pitiful, but with Qian Dexiang's self-righteous character, if he wanted to return to normal, he felt that he could only resign himself to fate.

To get back to the point, although Meng Zitao thought that it was impossible for him to become a person like Qian Dexiang, his father said this, which still made him vigilant, and he must not think that he can do whatever he wants if he has special abilities, and arrogant people often have no good ending.

So, he smiled and said, "Mom, it's also for my good that Dad said this, but don't worry, I'm definitely not so stupid, and I won't joke with money." ”

Meng Shuliang nodded with satisfaction, although his son was ridiculous when he was young, he has been much better in the past few years, and he believes that his son should be able to do what he says.

With 30,000 yuan, the dark clouds on the family's head are finally about to dissipate, and the next thing is to wait for Meng Shuliang to open the knife, as long as the result is good, then this time the danger can be saved.

…………

August 28, fine.

It's Sunday again, and it's been two weeks since the last leak. During this time, Meng Zitao's life was plain and fulfilling, and in addition to going to work and the hospital, he read antique identification books at home every day.

Thanks to the influence of the ability, now Meng Zitao's memory has increased greatly, although he can't memorize it, but no matter what book he reads two or three times, he can remember it. This makes him feel a little boring in his studies, but now he actually feels a little enjoyable.

At half past five in the morning, Meng Zitao got up, washed up, and then practiced the 42-style Taijiquan he found on the Internet.

Also thanks to the improvement of memory, Meng Zitao has memorized all the moves in his mind, but Tai Chi is not something that can be learned in a while, not to mention that he has not been exposed to it before, and after two weeks, he has only practiced like that, as for wanting to integrate it, it is not a momentary effort.

After practicing a set of Tai Chi, Meng Zitao nodded with satisfaction, today is better than yesterday, according to the current progress, in two or three months, the movements should be standardized.

After taking a bath, Meng Zitao called his mother and asked about his father's recovery.

Due to the early detection of Meng Shuliang's condition, the results of the surgery were relatively good, and Meng Shuliang's physique was good, and his recovery was also very good. In the past few days, Meng Shuliang has already thought of being discharged from the hospital.

However, Meng Zitao did not agree with his father's idea, after all, this is not a small problem, but it must not be sloppy, since the doctor said that it is best to stay for three weeks, then do what the doctor said. Don't end up with another problem and you'll regret it.

After Meng Zitao's persuasion, Meng Shuliang gave up the idea of being discharged from the hospital, and this was mainly because Meng Zitao "borrowed" another 15,000 yuan, and the family no longer had to worry about his treatment costs for the time being.

After a simple breakfast, Meng Zitao rode his bicycle to the antique street.

At the antique bazaar last week, Meng Zitao picked up two small leaks, and the 15,000 yuan came from this way. It's just that in his case, he has been missing for two weeks in a row, which will make people feel a little surprised.

Therefore, he also took a special leave of absence and went to the antique market in the neighboring city to sell those two things, although the price was cheaper because of the relationship between the living, but for the sake of his own safety, he could only do so.

When he arrived at the antique street, Meng Zitao parked his bicycle and called Cheng Qiheng.

After half a minute, the phone was connected, and Cheng Qiheng's confused voice came: "Who?"

"I, Meng Zitao, you won't still be in bed and haven't gotten up, will you?"

Meng Zitao was a little speechless, last week, Cheng Qiheng was on a business trip, which caused their previous bet to be postponed to this week, and now it seems that it has to be postponed to next week.

Cheng Qiheng patted his forehead and said, "Zitao, I'm really sorry, something happened to my supplier, I didn't return home until three o'clock this morning, and our agreement can only be said next week." ”

Hearing that this was the case, Meng Zitao said: "Then let's talk about it then, don't let me release my pigeons again!"

Cheng Qiheng smiled: "How can it, if I release your pigeon again, I will give you a chicken heart gourd, how about it?"

"Okay, that's what you said, don't regret it then......"

The two chatted a few more words, and after hearing Cheng Qiheng yawn, Meng Zitao ended the call.

Put away the mobile phone, and Meng Zitao walked into the antique street that was already full of people.

Although everyone can set up the stalls on the antique street, in general, the regulars are in the same place.

After all, the antique industry is the most important connection, although there is competition between hawkers, but everyone looks down and does not look up, and there is some friendship, so everyone will not grab other people's positions.

Moreover, as mentioned above, if a customer wants a certain thing, the vendor happens to know who has it, and will also ask for it to be sold, and then it will be an intermediate fee, which can be regarded as an income.

As for those itinerant hawkers, they won't break the rules, otherwise they will be attacked by a group, and they won't want to gain a foothold in the antique street.

Because there are fixed stalls, it is natural that there will be regular customers. Just like Meng Zitao, except for the last time when he just got the ability, when he came to the antique street, he always had to go around a few acquaintances first. Since the stall owner is familiar with him, he will also take out something that he can bear, which will undoubtedly save a lot of time.

Generally, there are two places that Meng Zitao must go to when he comes to the antique street, one is Xue Wenguang's shop, of course, he will definitely not go now. The other is the hawker Lao Liuna.

The sixth child's real name is Lu Xiaoliu, in his thirties, his hometown is in the western countryside, there are five brothers and sisters in the family, he is the oldest, and his parents named him Xiaoliu.

The sixth child used to work in a factory in Lingshi, and by chance he came into contact with antiques, so he became a "shovel", although it was hard, he also made some money and bought a house in the suburbs of Lingshi.

Later, because of the hard work, I didn't want to be a "shovel" anymore, and I accumulated some contacts over the years, so I set up a stall in the antique street.

Lao Liu is a man who can speak well, basically knows everything about the antique street, and he also knows a lot about the market in the surrounding cities.

Therefore, as long as Meng Zitao has time, he will rummage through things in the stall of the sixth child, listen to the sixth child's chatter about the market of antiques, or some of his experience as a shovel, and so on.

As usual, after entering the antique street, Meng Zitao walked to the stall of the sixth child. The antique street is not big, and before he walked a few steps, he saw the stall of Lao Liu, surrounded by several circles, and he knew what was going on without saying it.

Seeing this situation, Meng Zitao hurriedly walked over, and before he had taken a few steps, he heard a quarrel. Listening to the voice, the other party should be a young man, and the sixth child is arguing with unhurried reasoning.

Due to the large number of people, it was difficult for Meng Zitao to squeeze in, and in addition, it was hot, so he asked the acquaintances next to him what the situation was.

The thing is actually very simple, that is, a young man who has just entered the industry, and his eyesight is not good enough to buy a fake, so he came over to ask for a return, of course the sixth child will not agree to this kind of thing.

When Meng Zitao heard that this was the case, he couldn't help but shake his head.

This antique trade is not simply a contest of price, but more importantly, a contest of knowledge and eyesight. Because the antique trade relies on eyesight and strength, the layman does not understand and does not dare to buy, and if he dares to buy, he must understand. Buyers may buy fake and expensive, sellers may sell low, and both buyers and sellers bear certain risks.

Therefore, there is a rule in the antique industry, whether the buyer buys a fake, or the seller sells it, it cannot be returned or found to be a post-account. Everyone is also very taboo about the buyer returning the goods and the seller to find the account. The long trend of "returning goods or finding back accounts" will inevitably affect the reputation of sellers in the industry.

Maybe someone is going to say, I bought a fake, can't I return it?

In other industries, the responsibility lies with the seller, and whoever asks you to sell fake goods will definitely be punished according to the regulations. But the antique industry is different, because there is a word in this industry, which is called picking up leaks.

For example, if you pick up a leak, and you take it to auction and sell it at a high price, can you take the initiative to give half of the money you earn to the seller? Presumably no one would want to do that.

In this case, if you can pick up other people's leaks, people can't pick up your leaks?

Of course, if you buy a fake and negotiate with the seller amicably, it is not impossible to return the goods, but it cannot be refunded in the original amount, at least one-third of the payment must be left to the seller, so that it can be settled, which is called paying tuition.

However, whether you can return the goods depends on the person, and some sellers just don't agree to return the goods, so there is no way.

Seeing that the young man was getting more and more noisy, and the people around him were getting more and more, the sixth man sighed to himself that he was unlucky, and then said to the young man, since this is the case, then let's go to the police station and say.

The young man immediately agreed, and when the sixth man had packed up his things, he walked towards the police station with his head held high, and he clearly thought that he would definitely be able to do so.

Seeing this situation, Meng Zitao smiled in his heart, this young man didn't want to think about it, since the sixth man dared to say this, would he be unsure?
