Chapter 3 Kraft Paper Bags

I saw an extra brown paper bag in the co-pilot's seat, bulging, and I didn't know what it contained. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The traffic police urged me to leave quickly, and I didn't have time to open the brown paper bag to see the contents, so I drove to Panjiayuan.

Arrived in front of my store in Panjiayuan, parked the car, entered the store, and saw that the store was very deserted, the first two months of recruiting the guy Xiao Feng was holding a fly swatter and was boring swatting flies, Ermao held a feather duster to dust the containers and items, the two saw me and hurriedly said hello, I briefly asked about the business situation, Xiao Feng said that the business was not very good during this time, not many customers, I nodded, and went straight to the back office.

Entered the office, I saw Zhang Meng sitting behind the desk on the phone, as if contacting the business, I sat on the sofa, and waited for Zhang Meng to finish the call, I asked him about the recent situation, Zhang Meng also said that the business is not good recently, some time ago it was the peak season of Beijing tourism, coupled with the Panjiayuan market to engage in activities, increase publicity, business is not bad, mainly the sales of handicrafts are better, but this period of time as the weather is getting hotter and hotter, few individual customers come, the sales of handicrafts have dropped sharply, and the antiques mainly rely on regular customers and large customers, a few days ago we helped through Lao Zhang into some"With local goods" sales are almost, the supply is relatively tight recently, mainly because there is no "hard goods", lack of treasures, big customers are not seen treasures, so some customers are lost, which makes Zhang Meng scratch his head very much.

I know that "it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice", Zhang Meng has tried his best, at the beginning of the store we thought that the supply of goods is a big bottleneck in the antique industry, and now it is a financial crisis. There are few large customers, if there is no "local goods" treasures is difficult to compete with other merchants, although I went down to the tomb twice, but for other purposes, and there are unexpected circumstances, so these two times there is no gain, since I have entered this line, I have to follow the rules of survival in this line, not only for myself, but also for the sake of the guys in the store. Not to mention letting everyone follow me to eat and drink spicy food. At the very least, I had to let my brothers and I have something to eat, so I decided to go to the tomb again and get some real things back.

I told Zhang Meng what I thought. Zhang Meng shook his head again and again after hearing this: "Come on." Dongzi. We can't afford to take that risk anymore, I can see that the tomb is not a public toilet. Just go, you'll die at every turn, it's too dangerous, we'd rather not make money, try to be down-to-earth, I don't believe that our brothers can still starve the guys to death, listen to me, and then think about other ways, don't take risks again. ”

That being said, I also know how dangerous the tomb is, but I always feel that since everyone follows me, just believe me, I should be responsible and let everyone follow me to live a good life, especially Ermao, Da Mao entrusted him to me at the cost of his life, if I can't let him live a good life, then how can I be worthy of the dead Da Mao, so, no matter how Zhang Meng persuades me, I also insist on going to the tomb again, and I must get something good back.

Zhang Meng couldn't persuade me, so he had to give up. But now the question is which tomb to go to, the state cracks down on tomb robbery very severely, and the fat buckets that have not been excavated and stolen can be said to be rare, plus we ourselves are new to this industry, neither strength nor experience, the next bucket is not a joke, how easy it is to say, so we can only think in the long run, and then make plans.

I was discussing with Zhang Meng, someone knocked on the door outside, I opened the door and looked, a familiar figure, in his forties, slightly bald on the top of his head, wearing a navy pattern crewneck shirt on his upper body, Nike casual sweatpants on his lower body, two eyes bright, and a lovely smile, it was the old Zhang who sold me the Jade Buddha, that is, the boss of "Qingyuexuan" opposite, Zhang Ziheng's uncle.

"Yo, Lao Zhang, it's been a day since I saw it. I said with a false greeting, "Come in and sit down." ”

"Yes, yes, Boss Guo is a busy man, no, I heard that you haven't had time to visit you when you come back, and today I saw your car parked outside the store, so I came to take a look. With that, Lao Zhang entered the house.

Zhang Meng also exchanged a few words of warm greetings with Lao Zhang.

I said in my heart, I haven't seen you come over for almost a month, this old fritter must have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, I don't know what to do with me.

After Lao Zhang sat down, he lowered his voice and said, "Boss Guo, I heard that you have gone to the grave again, and you have gained a lot, can you tell me the details." ”

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, what is the gain, the ghost place I went to this time is a 'hole' (note: jargon, the meaning of fake tombs and suspicious graves), I didn't get any oil and water, and I almost lost my life. "I don't know how Lao Zhang learned the news of my tomb, I replied hesitantly.

Lao Zhang saw that I didn't want to say the details, so it was inconvenient to ask more, so I chatted about some other things.

"By the way, how is the condition of your nephew Zhang Ziheng?" I asked, since that time to the tomb of the concubine of the Ming Dynasty, he has been in a state of 'suspended animation', it is estimated that nine times out of ten he was hit by the poisonous smoke of the nine-tailed fox, and he was sent to the hospital after coming back, I don't know what the situation is now.

"Alas, it's still the same, it's almost a year younger, there is no progress at all, experts say that it is poisoned, this poison has a different impact on everyone, some people can wake up soon, some people may not wake up for a lifetime, whether they can wake up can only depend on their own creation. Lao Zhang sighed and said, but I looked at the words, although his face showed that he was very sad about his nephew Zhang Ziheng's matter, but he was just floating on the surface and pretending, and he didn't really care much about his heart.

"It seems that businessmen still value money the most, and people are indifferent. I sighed in my heart.

Immediately, Lao Zhang changed his words and said, "Boss Guo, I won't tell you anything, I came here this time to ask you for something." ”

I said in my heart, how about it, I said that this old fritter is going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and I got to the point.

"Oh, Lao Zhang, look at what you said, what do you ask for or not, what else do we see, you can tell if there is something. I said.

It turned out that Lao Zhang was also doing bad business recently. In addition, his nephew has been lying in the hospital for a long time, and the hospitalization fee is very high, he came to me this time because he wanted me to take him with him when I went to the tomb again, and he also wanted to try his luck in the tomb and get something real to solve his urgent needs.

I didn't want to agree, but Zhang Meng gave me a look, I knew he meant one more person and more strength, plus this old Zhang Don't look like he is not popular on the surface, but he has a lot of social experience. It's an old fritter. Since he is willing to follow, it is better to have one more person to take care of him.

Zhang Meng saw that I didn't refuse, and rushed to help me answer: "Lao Zhang, this is a small matter." You will also be able to come to the door in person. Hand over a note. Command, how dare our brothers disobey their orders, let's talk about it. You are an idol in the hearts of our buddies, you can really be said to be the reincarnation of Yang Zirong, with you with you, it is really unbelievable. I promised for Dongzi, and I will call you before I go to the tomb. ”

"Okay, refreshing. Lao Zhang smiled: "Then it's decided, I must be notified then, I have to prepare in advance." Yes, the two of you are busy, so you don't bother the two of you. With that, Lao Zhang got up and said goodbye.

Zhang Meng and I sent Lao Zhang out of the door.

I stayed in the store for a day, a total of five customers came in, two came in and walked around, went out without asking, and two only asked the price, only one person spent forty yuan to buy a craft screen ornament, it seems that this individual customer really has no business to do.

Zhang Meng has been calling regular customers to promote the high imitations and some ordinary antiques in our store, and the reply he got is that unless there are treasures, don't contact again, and some simply hang up the phone. Zhang Meng was so good-tempered that he rolled his eyes angrily.

According to this posture, if I don't think about it as soon as possible, my store will really have to be closed.

In the evening, Zhang Meng and I were more depressed, after closing the store, I bought a bottle of Niulanshan, went to a skewer shop to buy some raw skewers, planned to go to Xiaopang's barbecue, drink some wine, relieve depression, and by the way, discuss with Xiaopang about the next fight.

Ermao is now a family person, and it is inconvenient to go with us, Zhang Meng opened the car door and just wanted to get into the car, and saw the kraft paper bag in the passenger seat.

Zhang Meng picked up the paper bag and asked what it was, I just remembered what happened in the morning, and I didn't care, I took the paper bag and threw it in the back seat, and told Zhang Meng about the old man I met in the morning while driving.

Zhang Meng was very interested in this matter, and said: "Dongzi, maybe you really met a nobleman, that old flower is not sure which consortium boss, predator makeup, fancy you, want to marry your daughter, maybe there is a check of two billion yuan in the kraft paper bag, give you as a deposit for his daughter." ”

"Damn, I think eighty percent of the beggars are the leader of the gang, I want his daughter, I have to sue me for abducting a young girl, I think you are quite suitable, let it be given to you. I laughed.

The two of us were stinky and poor, and after a while, we came to Chubby's house. Zhang Meng was very curious about the contents of the brown paper bag, and took it down when he got out of the car.

When we arrived at Chubby's house, Chubby had already returned, and Chubby's profession was legendary, and he was usually a private detective. Many people don't know much about the profession of private detective, thinking that it is only available in novels, but in fact, this serious 800 is one of the 36 lines, which needs to be registered to do it, and can only be employed with a certificate. The name of the private detective is very good, but in fact, he has nothing to do to help the wife of a big money catch the junior, help the newspaper follow and track the celebrity to find some lace news, similar to the paparazzi, and sometimes help the lawyer collect evidence or something. The reason why Chubby does this business is because he is naturally adventurous and likes excitement, and the time for doing this business can be allocated by himself without constraints. When Chubby is fine, he will also use the knowledge of cultural toys he learned from his uncle to help people identify and identify cultural relics.

Chubby and Zhang Meng got together and didn't get stinky and poor, and Chubby's mother and I helped prepare the barbecue utensils.

Zhang Meng told Xiaopang about my encounter with the old man, Xiaopang was very interested in listening, and was very curious about the brown paper bag, but Zhang Meng just sold Guanzi and didn't show Xiaopang, the two of you fight for me, fighting spirit and courage, this toss, Xiaopang is still poor in the end Zhang Meng, can only be solved by force, Zhang Meng is thin like a pole, where can he be the enemy of Xiaopang, and was pressed under Xiaopang by three times and five divided by two, so he had to be forgiven.

Chubby snatched the paper bag and took out the contents of the paper bag with a victorious smile. (To be continued.) )
