Chapter 562: The Great Patron
Luo Fan clearly remembered that when he bought the first piece of ancient jade from the antique shop in the city, there was a small episode during it.
There is a Taoist priest named Qingxu who also obviously took a fancy to this ancient jade, but because of the price, he was robbed by Luo Fan to buy it first.
Later, the Qingxu Daoist also discussed with Luo Fan to let him sell Gu Yu, but Luo Fan slipped away first after making up some reasons, so the other party failed.
And judging from the original situation, even if the Qingxu Dao Master didn't know that this ancient jade contained the aura of heaven and earth, he must have seen that the ancient jade was extraordinary, otherwise he would not rush to buy it from Luo Fan.
But now that Qingxu Dao Chief was obviously hired by the people of the royal family in the capital, it stands to reason that he is still helping out on the side of Inuya Mountain, and he should not appear in the provincial capital.
But if that buyer is not a clear and void leader, who can it be?
Luo Fan was puzzled in his heart, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, why don't you take me to your friend's place to take a look, anyway, who is not doing business with you, don't worry, I won't let Brother Wang help in vain." ”
Hearing Luo Fan's words, Lao Wang's eyes couldn't help but light up, and then after pondering for a while, he nodded and said: "Cheng, anyway, now that ancient jade has only been booked, and it hasn't really been sold yet, I'll take you to take a look, you were introduced by Lao Liu, and I will definitely give this face." ”
Lao Liu is the stall owner in the antique city in the city, but the reason why Lao Wang is willing to pat his chest and agree to come down to help is how much is for the sake of Lao Liu's face, and how much is for Luo Fan's face to express his gratitude, I'm afraid only he can know.
Lao Wang's friend's stall is not in the antique city, but has its own shop outside, but the distance is not too far, and Luo Fan has already made it clear that he will be paid, so Lao Wang didn't say a word, just cleaned up his stall, and rushed over with Luo Fan.
After going out and turning left and right, Lao Wang took Luo Fan into a small alley.
The alley is not long, and it is very narrow, only pedestrians and bicycles can pass through, and even tricycles can be difficult to enter.
On both sides of this alley, there are small shops, and Luo Fan can see that they are basically selling antiques.
"Brother Luo, I won't hide it from you, don't look at the excitement in the antique city, but there are basically not many really valuable things in it, and it is completely a place to test your eyesight and luck. The real good things in the provincial city are actually in this small alley. ”
Seeing Luo Fan's surprised look, Lao Wang explained with a smile.
Luo Fan was stunned, but it was normal to think about it, after all, there were many fish and dragons in the antique city, and the real good things were really not easy to trade over there.
After figuring out this, he also became interested, and began to wonder if he could find other antiquities containing the aura of heaven and earth in this small alley.
There is basically no decoration outside these antique shops, and they still look a little shabby, but there is a bit of that quaint taste, Lao Wang took Luo Fan to the innermost part of the alley, and after arriving at the door of a small shop, he didn't knock on the door, and walked in directly.
The light inside the room was a little dim, and Luo Fan got used to it before he could see the appearance inside clearly.
Although this small shop does not look big from the door, it is quite spacious inside, about 200 square meters, but it is full of things, and it looks a little messy.
"Lao Zhao, it's time for business. ”
Lao Wang was obviously very familiar with this place, and he didn't seem to be out of sight at all, so he first poured himself and Luo Fan a glass of water, and then roared at the top of his throat.
As soon as the voice fell, there was a noise inside, and then an impatient scolding also came out: "What the are you called, wait outside for a while, give Lao Tzu five minutes...... No, ten minutes. ”
"This old thing must be tossing on a woman's belly again. ”
A strange smile flashed on Lao Wang's face, and he looked at Luo Fan and whispered.
And as if in order to verify the authenticity of Lao Wang's words, a creaking sound of the bed board sounded, accompanied by the moaning of a woman and the panting of a man.
"Look? I'm not wrong? This old fellow's love in his life is wine and women, and I think he will die on a woman's belly sooner or later. Lao Wang continued to say with a strange smile.
Luo Fan could only be speechless for a while, he was not familiar with the owner of this small shop, and he was not good at commenting on anything, so he could only wait helplessly.
Fortunately, this boss surnamed Zhao is obviously not very good at men and women, let alone ten minutes, not even five minutes, he has already walked out shirtless with pants.
There was still a cigarette in his mouth, and when he saw Lao Wang, he couldn't help but scold: "Lao Tzu just said, let you come later, you came so quickly." ”
Lao Wang smiled and scolded: "You kid really has no conscience, didn't I send you a big customer? ”
"Big customer, just this hairy boy?"
Boss Zhao squinted at Luo Fan, obviously a little disdainful.
Luo Fan's dress has always been very ordinary, even if he has some money in hand now, nothing has changed, although a dress is not the color of a roadside stall, but it is not worth much money.
And the vicious eyes of the antique business are essential skills, so this Boss Zhao can see at a glance that Luo Fan does not look like a rich man.
While being looked at by the other party, Luo Fan was also looking at the other party.
This Boss Zhao looks about the same age as Lao Wang, but his figure is very strong, especially his bare upper body, and he can clearly see the muscles that are not bad.
And there is also a tattoo of a green dragon on his chest, coupled with a few eye-catching scars, and that horizontal face, which makes this Boss Zhao not look like a businessman, but more like a macho man fighting on the road.
This is the thought of this macho man disarming in just three minutes, Luo Fan felt that the sentence that people should not be disgraced is really an eternal truth.
Seeing Boss Zhao's disdainful face, Lao Wang was obviously afraid that the other party would offend Luo Fan, so he hurriedly pulled him aside, and whispered the purpose of bringing Luo Fan here.
"Do you also fancy that ancient jade?"
After listening, Boss Zhao was obviously a little surprised, and after looking Luo Fan up and down again, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "Boy, how much money are you going to pay to buy a piece?"
Luo Fan smiled, but didn't speak, just looked at the old king.
Although the two did not discuss the price on the way here, Luo Fan is not ignorant of this kind of business, since he wants to ask Lao Wang for help, then it is better to let Lao Wang negotiate the price, so that even if Lao Wang makes a sum of money in it, it is a matter of course, and Luo Fan will naturally not cut off people's money.
Sure enough, in the face of Luo Fan's approach, Lao Wang nodded quietly at Luo Fan very gratefully, and then pulled Boss Zhao aside, and stretched out three fingers at the same time.
"Thirty thousand?"
Seeing this number, Boss Zhao was finally a little surprised, and Luo Fan on the side couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this old Wang is worthy of being a businessman, and he is also ruthless when he kills his friends.
The two pieces of ancient jade that Lao Wang sold to Luo Fan just now were both 50,000 pieces, but when they came to Boss Zhao, they directly became 30,000 pieces, nearly half of the money.
Of course, this money was not saved by Lao Wang Fa kindly for Luo Fan, but he wanted to make a difference from it.
A piece of jade earns a price difference of 20,000 yuan, which is not a small amount.
Seeing Lao Wang nodding vigorously, Boss Zhao couldn't help but have a depressed look on his face, and scolded again and said, "I said that Lao Wang, you are too unsophisticated, why didn't you tell me about such a good thing earlier." ”
"What do you mean?" said Wang, who was a little puzzled.
Boss Zhao said with great remorse: "Those ancient jades have been bought!"
"Bought it?"
Lao Wang's face changed, and then he asked anxiously: "I called you just now, didn't you just make a reservation and then pay a deposit? Why was it suddenly bought? You kid didn't fool me here, don't you like the low price?"
Speaking of which, Lao Wang's eyes were already full of suspicion when he looked at Boss Zhao.
Sincerely, Lao Wang felt that the price he gave was not only not low, but already very high.
Although the price of the two pieces of ancient jade that Luo Fan bought from him just now was almost double this one, in Lao Wang's heart, he just thought that Luo Fan was wronged.
And these ancient jades have been in their hands for such a long time, let alone 20,000 yuan, they can't even sell 2,000 yuan, otherwise how could they have stayed until now.
So when Boss Zhao said this, Lao Wang subconsciously thought that the price of this product wanted to sit on the ground.
No way, as a profiteer, Lao Wang naturally knows very well the friends of the same profiteer, this Boss Zhao doesn't look very rough, it seems to belong to the kind of type with developed limbs and simple mind, but Lao Wang knows very well, this guy's shrewdness, even if it does not exceed him, it is definitely not bad at all.
In the face of Lao Wang's questioning, Boss Zhao was not angry, but said a little dejectedly: "How many years have we been friends, as for me to lie to you about this kind of thing? Originally, I did only pay a deposit, but just now I learned that the loser of my family let people take away their things when I was not at home, and I didn't know when you called me." ”
"Really?"
Seeing that Boss Zhao didn't seem to be faking, Lao Wang was still skeptical.
Boss Zhao's excuse is obviously not perfect, but in this way, Lao Wang feels that it is still a little true.
Boss Zhao doesn't look tall and mighty, but he has always been a person who is afraid of women, no matter what woman is around him, he can make him obedient, and this situation has not happened before.
