Sitting on the bus, looking at the busy street scene outside, Lotte is in vain, every scene on the street is composing the sad song of the city, passers-by are in a hurry, some are running for life, some are busy for dreams, but in this high-pressure life circle, everyone is like a walking corpse, most of them are lost in the hustle and bustle of the city, lost their original ideas.

After coming to the capital for more than a month, Lotte found that he was more and more unable to understand the outside world of flowers, and it was true that it was dazzling and fascinating, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was decaying and intimidating, but in short, all of this made Lotte feel very uncomfortable.

When the car arrived at the station, he got off the car mechanically and walked towards the courtyard, before he imagined it very well, but the reality slapped him hard, at this moment, he could understand Liang Zhonghe's hesitant back, maybe at this moment, Lotte also felt the unsatisfactory feeling.

Put this doorknob, there was no next move for a long time, "What should I do, money money money!" Where can I get the money? ”

But just as Lotte was muttering to himself, he suddenly thought of a person, "Money, Qian Hengze!" It seems that this is the only way to go. ”

With a decision, quickly push the door in, enter the main room, dig out the snuff bottle, look at the things inherited by the ancestors, and the only way now is to mortgage it.

After thinking about it again, he took out the phone and dialed it out, and it took a long time to connect, and Qian Hengze's extremely impatient voice came from the phone.

"Hey, who?"

"It's me, Li Letian."

"Oh." There was a trivial voice on the phone, and after a while, Qian Hengze asked, "What about Lotte, what's the matter?" ”

"I have something to ask you, can you do me a favor?"

may have heard that Lotte was so solemn, Qian Hengze also became solemn and asked, "What's the matter, tell me about it." ”

Lotte took a deep breath and said, "I need money urgently, I have an old object that I want to mortgage to your father, and when I have saved enough money, the thing will be redeemed." ”

"Rub, I thought what was the matter, you just said how much money it would cost, and it would be over." Qian Hengze said nonchalantly.

Lotte sighed and said, "1 million." ”

"I'm going, so much?"

"Well, otherwise you wouldn't be able to mortgage this old thing." Lotte said.

Qian Hengze reacted and asked, "You mean, you want to take an antique and mortgage it to my father, right?" ”

"That's right, your father has seen this thing, he wants to buy it, but I don't want to sell it, and now I need money urgently, so I ......"

"It's over! Where are you? ”

"I'm in Panjiayuan." Rakuten replied.

"Why don't you go to my father's shop first, I'll be there in a moment, you know where my store is, right?" Qian Hengze asked.

"Yes."

After hanging up the phone, he sighed weakly, put the snuffbox on his body, locked the door and left, and came directly to the vicinity of the antique shop.

It's still a crowded scene, with a lot of pedestrians coming in and out, and it looks no different from a shopping mall.

The welcome lady saluted respectfully, Lotte nodded in response and entered the door, first looked around on the first floor, there was nothing worth seeing, and walked up to the second floor, the lobby manager still remembered Lotte, saw him coming, and hurried over, "Welcome." ”

Lotte smiled at the manager and asked, "Is the boss there?" ”

"Coincidentally, the boss is on the third floor, I'll take you up." After the lobby manager replied, he walked to the third floor with Lotte diameter.

Last time, I had the opportunity to go to the third floor to see.,It turned out suddenly.,The third floor didn't go to the end.,No.,The manager just took Lotte to the third floor.,The dazzling array of goods made Lotte dazzled.。

The lobby manager motioned to Lotte to wait, he went to inform Boss Qian to go, Lotte was bored, and he was observing the antiques nearby, not to mention, the antiques on the third floor are all genuine, and the prices are not expensive.

Just as Lotte was observing, the manager hurriedly walked up to Lotte and whispered, "Manager, please come in." ”

Lotte glanced back, followed the manager into the office in confusion, and found that there were still people here as soon as he entered the room, no wonder Boss Qian didn't greet him personally.

Boss Qian smiled: "Brother Lotte came just in time, there is something here, you can help me take a look." ”

After Boss Qian finished speaking, he looked at the person sitting opposite and said, "This is called Li Letian, a newly promoted expert in the capital. ”

Lotte walked over and shook hands with this person, he looked like he was in his 40s, and his face was not a serious business person, and then he had thick calluses on his tiger mouth, and there was a lot of dust on his hair that could not be washed off, Lotte guessed that this person should be from an inverted background.

After the lobby manager left, Boss Qian didn't hide it and said:

"Where did this brother get a thing, I don't see it well, I can't estimate it, it just so happens that Lotte has caught up, you can give an estimate."

Lotte smiled at the man and said, "I wonder if I can take a look at your objects?" ”

The man was a little dismissive of Lotte's attitude, and casually opened the towel next to him and showed the object next to him, "This is a bronze object, will you look at it?" ”

Lotte recognized this thing after just one look, and when the man handed it to him, Lotte took it in his hand and carefully admired it, and said:

"Han bronze jue cup, in history, noble people with a jue, in ancient times when the Son of Heaven divided the princes, a kind of reward given to the recipient. Later, "Jue" became the abbreviation of "Jue". ”

"This Jue cup mouth along the edge of the outward, round belly slightly deep, front tip back up, under the three high feet, so also known as the three jue cup, along the mouth on both sides of the symmetrical column, look at the craft must be from the Han Dynasty king and grandson of the tomb of the nobles."

"Good eyesight." The man listened to Lotte's narration and subconsciously praised it.

Lotte shook his head slightly, picked it up and put it under his nose and sniffed it, "But it's a pity." ”

The man was stunned and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Lotte smiled slightly: "This thing is indeed an old object, but when it was unearthed, it should have been inadvertently damaged, resulting in some flaws in this cup, but you are afraid of affecting the sale, so you will use the method to reset the damaged place, resulting in the damage of the gap." ”

When Boss Qian heard this, he hurriedly asked: "Isn't the bronze unearthed the least easy to damage?" Why is this piece broken? ”

Boss Qian looked at the man, the man looked helpless but didn't answer, Lotte saw this and explained: "That's true, I guess it's because of the legend that the bronze is the least easy to damage, so they didn't pay attention to it, so they put the bronze at the bottom, which resulted in deformation after weathering." ”

"But I look at this object as it is!" Boss Qian picked it up and observed it in confusion.

Lotte shook his head helplessly and said: "Boss Qian, look, there is a shallow trace here, this is a trace that will be left after restoration, if you don't look carefully, you can't see it, this repair process is still a local method in the market, fire roasting and refining, this is hard to restore, this is the bronze lord of the Han Dynasty!" ”

Boss Qian's face was gloomy, and he looked at the man and said, "Hey, I said you guys, don't fool if you don't know if you can fool around!" ”

The man's face was a little gloomy, and he hurriedly defended himself and said: "It's all my subordinates who are ignorant, alas, blame me for blaming me." ”

The other party explained, and Boss Qian was no longer entangled, looked at Lotte and asked, "Since this thing has been destroyed, you can give an estimate to see what price it can be worth?" ”

Lotte recalled the price he learned in the ghost market that day, this thing was unearthed in an upside-down bucket, and it was destroyed, and after thinking for a while, he said, "100,000!" ”

The man's face turned red and said, "100,000, this is not even enough tools!" ”

Lotte smiled and said: "I didn't give you less than 100,000, everyone here is an expert, the Ming people don't say dark words, this thing can't see the light for the time being, and in order to fix your messy methods, the cost is more than 300,000, and it's more than 100,000 for you, and I really don't believe it, you only take out this one knight once." ”

The man was a little dumbfounded, opened his mouth and couldn't speak, and Lotte said again:

"Let's not talk about anything else, you just brought this lord over today, but you didn't plan to talk about business properly, I'm right?"

The man was exposed by Lotte, and his face was a little unbearable, that's right, he did treat Boss Qian as the big head, and planned to buy this bad thing to him at a high price, which Cheng wanted to be swept away by Lotte, and he had no tricks, so he could only admit it.

"Okay, it's unlucky for us to meet an expert today, Boss Qian, if you look at this thing, I won't bargain with you for 100,000."

Boss Qian took Jue and thought about it, as if he was thinking about Lotte's words, plus the money for repair, whether it was worth the purchase price.

Seeing that Boss Qian hesitated, Lotte hurriedly picked up the lord and looked at it, and said: "Do business, business is not benevolent and righteous, people have said this, if you don't accept it, you can't worry about it." ”

Boss Qian smiled bitterly, but seeing that Lotte's face was so solemn, he reacted instantly and said, "Okay, I accepted this thing, go out with me to write a check, take some good things next time, don't just fool me with one." ”

The man laughed again, and not long after the two went out, Boss Qian came back, and Lotte estimated that he was a little impatient, so he handed over the transaction to the manager.

As soon as Boss Qian entered the house, he hurriedly asked: "Lotte, is this thing worth 100,000 yuan?" ”

Lotte got up and walked to the door, glanced outside, and then let go and said: "It's worth it, although this thing is flawed, but the repair is definitely only 100,000, I deliberately said it seriously, just bully them and don't understand." ”

"I'll go, you, I've lied to you." Boss Qian hurriedly picked up Jue and looked at it carefully, "This thing, when it is auctioned, is worth at least more than 800,000 yuan." ”

"More than that." Lotte said with a smile: "The price of this thing can't be set for the time being, the main thing I look at, it's a bit like something in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, I suspect that this is a Jue used by Cao Cao." ”

"Really?" Boss Qian asked incredulously.

Lotte smiled slightly and said: "The specific things still need to be verified, but this Jue is indeed a thing in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, you should know that in the war-torn era, such a high-level thing can be used, and it has not been found yet, only the tomb of Cao Cao of the Eastern Han Dynasty!" ”

"I'll go, why didn't you say it earlier!" Boss Qian was shocked.

Lotte smiled and said: "This is also the reason why they don't take out other things and sell them together, if it is really Cao Cao's tomb, then there are too many treasures!" ”
