Chapter 1: Zhao Ran
The weather in Guangdong Province in July is particularly hot, and it is the midday sun shining on the land and the breeze blowing up patches of heat. From time to time, I knew that it was as if I was out of breath, and I couldn't chirp.
With a "jump", Zhao Ran closed the car door, quickly ignited the car, turned on the air conditioner, and turned on the fan to the maximum.
"This damn weather, it's going to be hot!" Zhao Ran muttered unhappily. After waiting for a while, the air conditioner blew in the car, and finally the heat was lowered.
"I'll send you away, thousands of miles away" A ringtone came out of Zhao Ran's second-hand iphone4, which he spent more than 2,000 yuan from a second-hand mobile phone store to exchange for it. If it weren't for the sake of face, Zhao Ran would definitely not buy it.
"Hey, boss!" Zhao Ran glanced at the caller ID and pressed the answer button. "Xiao Zhao, have you pulled the goods?" Zhao Ran responded respectfully, "Well, I've already pulled the car, and I'll be in the store soon, wait for me for about half an hour!" Zhao Ran reported the situation to the boss and hung up the phone, with a tired look on his face.
Zhao Ran is 23 years old this year, born in Guangdong Province, with a height of more than 1.8 meters, but his body is not particularly strong, and his appearance is average.
When Zhao Ran graduated from college a year ago, his heart was higher than the sky, and he had never tasted the hardships of life. Therefore, as soon as he stepped into the life of society, the reality made him taste a lot of helplessness in life.
Two months ago, Zhao Ran came out of his home to the big city of Guangzhou, and finally found this errand to help the boss deliver goods. If it's good, it's the delivery man, and if it's ugly, it's just a hard-working porter, who works hard! But the salary is okay, 3500.
"Alas, there are still two days before the salary can be paid, give 2,000 yuan to the family, and the remaining 1,500 should be enough to last until next month!"
Zhao Ran said to himself.
Zhao Ran's family consists of four, parents and a younger sister. Life is very happy, the family has a house, my father and mother can also grow some vegetables to sell, my sister is still in junior high school, and she has been going to school for free for nine years. It stands to reason that Zhao Ran doesn't need to live so hard, but who made him stubborn.
Thinking about it, anyway, the family doesn't need any money urgently, just enough to go out by himself, in order not to worry the family, he said that he found a good job of 5,000 yuan, and his parents didn't say anything after hearing it, anyway, the son is willing to go out by himself, so let's go.
A good man has ambitions in all directions!
The car drove on the road for about half an hour and came to the front of an antique shop. "Didi!" I honked the horn twice and ran next time to open the back door of the car. "Yo, Xiao Zhao, are you back? Come on, come on, it's too hot, come and eat a piece of watermelon first, the goods will be unloaded. ”
This is Zhao Ran's boss, the boss's surname is Fang, and the word is jade. When Zhao Ran came to him to look for a job, he looked at Zhao Ran and came to Guangzhou alone, so he gave him this job, and he didn't say what he wanted to deposit, including food and accommodation, and he also gave a salary of 3,000 yuan in the first month, and then added 500 yuan.
In these years, the work done by others may be harder than him, and he will not get 3,500 yuan.
"Eh, okay, this hell weather, the fire is burning." Zhao Ran walked over and picked up a piece of chilled watermelon and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Shhh After eating a piece of big watermelon with satisfaction, Zhao Ran comfortably lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly! In fact, smoke hurts the body, lungs or something, it's useless! However, the only good thing is that this thing can be refreshed, and it is not bad to have one at your leisure, so don't get addicted.
"Boss, there are a lot of things in the car, and most of them are porcelain or something, you can ask someone to come and help me." Zhao Ran walked to the back door of the car, looked at the goods in the car, and said to the boss.
It's not that Zhao Ran has no strength, but the big porcelain in the car is much heavier than him, if he accidentally misses it, then he will be a fool, and he doesn't know how much money to accompany.
"Well, Xiao Li, a few of you come out to help, unload the goods, be careful, this is all Ming and Qing porcelain, be careful."
Boss Fang shouted to the store, and several people came out after a while.
Several people worked together to move the vat out first! Ho, it's really heavy!
"Boss, how much is this thing worth? It's so heavy" After carefully putting the vat on the ground, Zhao Ran wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked.
"Hehe, this is a blue and white vat in the Jiajing year of the Ming Dynasty, although it is not a fine product, but it is worth more than 100,000 yuan." Boss Fang touched the blue and white vat and said slowly.
"Such a big water tank can be worth more than 100,000?" Zhao Ran glanced at the blue and white vat and said in surprise.
"What is this, it's just ordinary, let me tell you, you know that in the 12th year of the Macau Spring Auction, a blue and white Kowloon vat in the early Ming Dynasty! Do you know how much money was fetched? Boss Fang said proudly to Zhao Ran, this thing that others don't know, it feels really cool that he knows.
"Eh, boss, I really don't understand this, tell me about it." Zhao Ran was really curious, and urged.
"Hehe, let me tell you, the auction price was 960 million Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to 890 million yuan!" Boss Fang said proudly, as if he had captured it.
"It's so expensive, I have worked for 10 lifetimes, and I can't get 890 million yuan" Zhao Ran was really taken aback!
In fact, Zhao Ran is not a stupid person, on the contrary, he is quite smart, but he still can't accept that a big vat is worth so much money.
"Actually, I was quite surprised when I first learned the news, but, Xiao Zhao, you have to know! As the so-called "gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times" has been peaceful for a long time, with the improvement of people's living standards, antiques, the value is slowly improving. As the saying goes, there are market objects, and if someone likes it, he has this price! Boss Fang said earnestly.
"Come on, these are rich people's things, it's useless to tell me so much, I'd better make some money steadily." Zhao Ran rolled his eyes.
"Oh, by the way, there is nothing for you to do today, you go back first, I'll see if there's anything wrong tomorrow, I'll call you then, and then you're coming over, if I don't call you, I'll give you a holiday." Boss Fang told Zhao Ran about tomorrow's arrangements and then went into the store.
Zhao Ran didn't say anything after seeing the boss enter the store, he didn't take advantage of the bastard, there was nothing wrong, he parked the car immediately and went outside.
To be honest, I've been in Guangzhou for a while, but I haven't really visited this big city much, so let's go outside while I'm free today.
Guangzhou's cultural relics, antiques, and jade market is a surplus for people's lives, and more and more people like to collect cultural relics, antiques, and jade. Guangzhou is known as the source of Lingnan culture, with a long history and a very strong urban cultural atmosphere.
Zhao Ran's place of work is next to Lychee Bay Park, which is full of antique shops, and there are many stalls selling antiques, so Zhao Ran plans to go here today.
Boss Fang said, this antique business, there are a lot of fakes, and those stall owners are so clever one by one! If you don't defend it, you can fool you around, and it's obviously just a few hundred or dozens of tattered antiques, and the value skyrockets in minutes.
So Zhao Ran is planning to do it, I won't buy it! I'm going to join in the fun, you can't force me to buy it, can you?
After Zhao Ran returned to the antique market, it was already more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and at this time, the sun in the sky was not so fierce, and the pedestrians on the street began to increase, and the stall owners began to flicker with lotus flowers.
Zhao Ran listened to the story for more than two hours, and suddenly felt that he would have to come often in the future, and this story was refreshing! Damn, it's been more than two hours, and I haven't repeated!
After continuing to walk for an hour, the sky began to darken, the lights were on, the whole city was bathed in a light, I found a restaurant, ordered two side dishes, and ate to my heart's content.
After Zhao Ran was full, it was already completely dark, and after leaving the hotel door, Zhao Ran planned to walk back slowly and digest it by the way.
When Zhao Ran walked to a road with fewer people, suddenly, there was a sound of a speeding motorcycle behind him!
Zhao Ran turned around and looked, only to see three motorcycles speeding on the road at a very fast speed, roaring! Zhao Ran also knows that this is a drag racing party! It's just some idle people who are looking for excitement, and he walks to the side of the road to avoid these three motorcycles!
But just when the motorcycle was about 20 meters away from Zhao Ran, he suddenly tilted his head and rushed towards Zhao Ran's side, Zhao Ran turned his head to look! I rub! Hell, are you going to hit me? Damn, these people have a nervous problem! There wasn't much time to react, Zhao Ran just wanted to run out of the road!
But human speed is limited, and in the blink of an eye, the motorcycle is next to him! Zhao Ran saw clearly that there were two people in the car! A clown mask on his head! It's terrifying!
The person in front was driving, and the person sitting in the back was holding a baseball bat, and when he got closer, he knocked down on Zhao Ran's head with a stick!
With a "jump", Zhao Ran's body was thrown forward at a distance of more than 2 meters and smashed to the ground! Zhao Ran fainted immediately, and blood flowed all over the ground! And the people on those three motorcycles! Screaming and continuing to run forward!
After the motorcycle sped away, the whole road was silent, Zhao Ran fell to the ground, blood kept gushing out of his head! If no one takes him to the hospital now, it won't be long before he dies of blood loss!
Suddenly! The space around Zhao Ran began to distort, and then, as if the entire space had been shattered, began to click, click!
With a "click", a crack opened! A cloud of light floated out of it!
Then he seemed to find Zhao Ran lying on the ground, and began to circle around Zhao Ran twice, and suddenly drilled through the bleeding wound!
It's strange to say that the wound that was constantly bleeding stopped bleeding as soon as this light ball got in! And it's slowly starting to heal! ――
