Chapter 144: Gutter Rats
The man was thrown to the ground by Ouyang Xiaodan, and was pushed to the stomach by his knees, and screamed in pain: "Girl, do it slowly!"
Ouyang Xiaodan scolded: "You are so bold, you dare to steal your mother's money, you are tired of it!"
The man hurriedly shook his head and said, "Girl, you misunderstood, you misunderstood, I didn't want to steal money, but I wanted to stop you, girl." ”
"What do you mean?"
The man said: "I know this guy, he cheats money here every day, that dragon-shaped jade pendant is not even jade, it is a stall of more than ten yuan, made of special plastic, I want you not to be deceived." ”
Ouyang Xiaodan glanced back at Zhang Tianyuan and asked, "What he said is true?"
Zhang Tianyuan touched his nose and said, "I don't know anything else, but that jade pendant is indeed fake, and it is easy to tell it." ”
The stall was angry at this time: "If you don't give money, get out, what are you doing crookedly, it will ruin my business, do you understand the rules of the market, do you understand?"
Ouyang Xiaodan let go of the person who was thrown to the ground by him, and said angrily to the stall: "You are here to cheat people out of money in broad daylight, this is called fraud and breaking the law." ”
As he spoke, he was about to take out the handcuffs he had been carrying from his waist, but was stopped by Zhang Tianyuan stepping forward.
"Xiao Dan, don't forget the purpose of your coming here today. ”
Ouyang Xiaodan reacted to his reminder, glanced at the stall owner hatefully, and then smiled at the person who stopped her before: "I'm sorry, I just misunderstood you, and it hurt, right?"
"There's nothing to do, nothing to do. As long as you're not deceived. If you want good jade, I have it there. It's cheap and affordable, and it won't deceive. The man smiled and pointed to a jade shop not far away.
"Oh. Then I'll go buy one. Ouyang Xiaodan felt embarrassed because he beat someone at this time, so he wanted to buy a jade to repay the favor, but he was stopped by Zhang Tianyuan again.
Zhang Tianyuan looked at the person who was beaten by Ouyang Xiaodan and said with a smile: "Thank you for the help, let's go for a while first, and then buy it when we come over later, okay?"
The man said, "I can show you what you want, I am very familiar with this antique market." ”
"This eldest brother, the green mountains cover the clear water, and the clear water walks the gutter. We are all understanding people, so I don't need to make my words too clear, right?" The smile on Zhang Tianyuan's face became cold.
As soon as the man heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said "bad luck" hatefully, and then turned to leave.
Seeing that the man was gone, Ouyang Xiaodan asked Zhang Tianyuan strangely, "What were you talking to him just now?"
"It's nothing, that big brother is in a bit of a hurry, so he left first. Zhang Tianyuan smiled slightly.
"No, I don't know about antiques. But I can still look at words, don't forget my profession. Ouyang Xiaodan shook his head and said.
"You're smart now. Zhang Tianyuan shook his head with a wry smile, grabbed Ouyang Xiaodan's hand and walked forward for a distance, waiting to be far away from the stall. only then said: "Those two people are basically in the same group, this is called a serial set." ”
"What, it's all a lie?"
"That's right. I've seen a lot of this kind of thing, so I know it. Otherwise, you will be deceived. Let's not talk about the one who set up the stall, it's too fake. Most people will not be deceived, and the person who persuades you not to pay money is the key, you feel that you owe him a favor, so you have to repay the favor, to willingly pay for the things he introduced to you, and may even ask him to be your guide in this market, but you don't know that he has been deceived by him at this time. ”
"Really?"
"Believe it or not, anyway. ”
"I believe you, let's keep shopping. "Ouyang Xiaodan has an advantage in this woman, that is, she can distinguish between good and bad, unlike some women, if you tell him that it is a liar, she just doesn't believe it, and thinks you are a liar.
"Aren't you tired? I've been walking back and forth for more than an hour, and I'm tired of walking. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile, he was actually not tired, but he was tired of taking care of the girl, so he said so.
"Well, I'm a little tired, there's a coffee house over there, let's go have a cup of coffee. Ouyang Xiaodan pointed to the coffee house not far away and said.
The coffee house on this antique street is really a bit nondescript, but Ouyang Xiaodan obviously doesn't like to drink tea, although tea is something that has been passed down from the ancestors for thousands of years, but most young people don't like it very much, they would rather drink coke and coffee.
Although Zhang Tianyuan doesn't like coffee, since it is to make amends, then simply accompany her to go shopping, anyway, a cup of coffee can't kill people.
There weren't many people in the café, and after the two of them asked for coffee, they sat by the window and drank and chatted.
Ouyang Xiaodan suddenly remembered what Zhang Tianyuan said before, and couldn't help asking, "What do you mean by the limerick you just said?"
"What limerick?"
"It's the green mountains covering the clear water, and the clear water walking the gutter. Ouyang Xiaodan said.
"Oh, that's not limericks, it's metaphors. Those people are called gutter rats, and Bishui and Qingshan refer to literary play, as soon as he hears it, he knows that I am an insider, and naturally I will not be entangled anymore. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.
"This is interesting! But this gutter rat shouldn't be very harmful, although they let you buy the things they specified, they probably won't deceive people, right?" Ouyang Xiaodan said with a wink.
Zhang Tianyuan snorted coldly and said: "It's not harmful, then you haven't encountered this kind of thing to say that, rats don't look very harmful on weekdays, it's so small, but once they spread diseases, they will die." I've heard a thing about this gutter rat before, do you want to hear it?"
"Yes!"
"Okay, I'll tell you. Zhang Tianyuan took a sip of coffee and frowned slightly, he really didn't know what was good about this thing, but in front of Ouyang Xiaodan, he couldn't say anything, so he began to tell the story.
"There is a professor at Nandu University, who collects and puts his spare money on weekdays. It's basically used to buy collectibles. There is also a similar market here in Nandu, and once he went to the antique market to buy something. It also happened that he met a gutter rat, and the man helped him see through the deception of singing double reeds. He was grateful to the man, the old man was loyal and honest, and had never done anything bad in his life, so naturally he also thought that the gutter rat was a good man, and the rat led him to a shop, and just as he entered the door, he saw that the yard was breaking ground. ”
"Groundbreaking?"
"I don't know what Lu Dao is doing, but at that time it was said to be digging a sweet potato cellar, and it was relatively early. About eight years ago, food was still relatively scarce, and many people liked to buy sweet potatoes and hide them in the cellar. ”
"Oh. ”
"The problem is in this digging sweet potato cellar, when the old professor just went in, someone inside shouted, 'There's a strange thing', take it up and take a look, guess what?"
"What?"
"Whether it's a baby-sized jade Buddha, or an ice seed, you probably don't know about jadeite. Anyway, it's better, according to the price on the market today, even if this thing sells for two or three hundred million, it will not be a problem. ”
"It's worth so much!"
"Yes, at that time, the old professor's eyes were straight when he saw the jade Buddha. I didn't think much of it at all, so I asked if it was for sale. Those people say that meeting is friendship. But that thing doesn't sell. ”
"This is called retreating and advancing?" Ouyang Xiaodan said suddenly.
"That's right, they're just going to make the old professor anxious. If you're in a hurry, you won't think about it carefully. Zhang Tianyuan sighed and said, "The old professor was so anxious that he said that he could buy this thing for five million." That's the hard-earned money that the old professor has accumulated all his life, and some of it has won international awards, and the old professor himself is not willing to spend it, and he was going to keep it for his descendants, but when he saw this jade and jade Buddha, he felt that this thing was more reliable than five million, so he gritted his teeth and wanted to buy it. ”
"I'm afraid five million is not enough. ”
"At that time, five million was definitely not a small amount, it was eight years, not now, and the jade at that time was far less valuable than now, those people were embarrassed for a while, and finally agreed to do this business. ”
"Is the Jade Buddha fake?" Ouyang Xiaodan vaguely guessed the result.
Zhang Tianyuan sighed and said, "After the old professor bought it, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he went to find an old friend to help identify it. That old friend is a well-known expert in Nandu, a jade expert, and his vision will not be wrong. ”
Hearing this, Ouyang Xiaodan suddenly became nervous, and her atmosphere was no longer dry, she was still drinking coffee before, but she stopped at this time.
"Really?"
"Then the expert asked the old professor, 'How much did you buy this thing?'"
The old professor said that the real price was five million.
The expert sighed, not wanting to hit his old friend, and said, "You probably don't really have this thing, but it's just my opinion, and you shouldn't pay too much attention to it." ”
When he said this, the old professor actually understood that he had been deceived, and it was as if he had been struck by lightning, and he fell to the ground on the spot, and the jade jade Buddha he was holding in his hand was also smashed on the ground, and a piece of paper fell out of it, and the manufacturer and address were printed on it.
"This!"
"That's right, it's a modern imitation, and it's glass, and you can buy it for less than ten yuan on the market at that time. Zhang Tianyuan sighed and said.
"What about the old professor, how is he?"
"Alas, when I got home, I fell seriously ill and died a few days later. That's why I said, these gutter rats are very harmful, they have already set up a set for you to drill, one ring after another, even if you see through the first ring, they still have a second ring, a third ring. Poor old professor has been a good person all his life, and he has never done anything to offend people, so he passed away. Zhang Tianyuan sighed, and there was some anger between his eyebrows.
"Then can't you sue those people?"
"Sue? How do you sue? At that time, the person who wanted to buy it was an old professor, and they still refused to sell it, you said that they lied to people, but is there any evidence? They never said that the jade Buddha was real from beginning to end. Zhang Tianyuan shook his head and said.
"These rats should really be caught and cramped one by one, it's really not a good thing. Ouyang Xiaodan gritted his teeth and said.
"Okay Xiaodan, don't be angry with these idleness, let's go for another spin when we have enough rest, I said today that I came to buy furniture, but I haven't got a single piece yet, and your task hasn't been completed, right?" Zhang Tianyuan changed the topic and said.
"Well, I made a special observation today, and it seems that I am going to be disappointed. Ouyang Xiaodan sighed and said.
"It's okay, just go shopping, and it's okay to come out for a walk. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.
"Alright, let's go. ”
Zhang Tianyuan and Ouyang Xiaodan left the café and continued to walk on the antique street, at this time, Ouyang Xiaodan seemed to have completely forgotten all about business, and it was the first time she had such a good time when she came to Shangpu.
She had dated other men before, but she didn't have any good experiences.
Once introduced to a young man, he was also an elite, and he drove a million BMWs, but he was far from Zhang Tianyuan.
At that time, the two had only been together for a day, and at first Ouyang Xiaodan thought that the person was generous and generous, but he didn't expect that when he was dining in the restaurant, the person actually asked to go to the hotel with her.
Of course Ouyang Xiaodan didn't agree, so the man got angry, saying that brother spent so much money to take you to play, take you to eat and drink, isn't it just for your people, your body, what are you pretending.
At that time, Ouyang Xiaodan was so angry that he slapped the man in the face, turned around and left.
From then on, Ouyang Xiaodan definitely chose the AA system when she ate with men, anyway, she didn't lack that money, what she looked down on the most was that men thought that they could dominate women with a few stinky money.
He was very relieved to have dinner with Zhang Tianyuan today, this man seemed to be very cooperative with her, and he didn't want to take advantage of her at all, he was obviously very rich, but he was still willing to cooperate with her, in fact, she had already discovered that Zhang Tianyuan didn't like coffee, and he could even say that he hated it very much.
