Chapter 390: Just in time
"Oh? Hehehe, this little brother has good eyesight, and he has only been able to see through the essence of many furnishings in the hall after only turning around in the hall, which is not easy, hehe, but~" The old man said, and did not make any moves because of Liang Yue's previous words, and still sat there on his own chair, unusually leisurely but with a bit of school examination.
"Xiao Lao'er had noticed before, didn't the little brother fall in love with the white jade inlaid gold phoenix tail hairpin, why did he abandon it later, did he feel that the object was not to his liking, and he was not worthy of the person who was going to give it?"
Liang Yue was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then smiled lightly, and said: "That thing is really eye-catching at first glance, whether it is in workmanship or conception, it is very exquisite, but unfortunately there are slight flaws on it, and there are finally some shortcomings, although it has been covered up, but the failure has existed, as a modern antique work, it can not be satisfied, then it can only be a defective product." ”
When the old man heard this, he nodded with a smile, as if he was very satisfied with Liang Yue's answer, and then took out a card with a magnetic stripe from under the counter in front of him, only three fingers wide, the length of a palm, purple color, and the surface was only like a print except for the magnetic stripe, outlining a delicate trumpet flower with gold thread, like a simple version of an invitation.
Seeing this, Liang Yue was a little confused, and couldn't help but look at the old man, waiting for his next words, and then only listening to the old man's unhurried words.
"Little brother is in a hurry today, there is a disgraceful cultural relics auction will be held at this hour and a half, just that the location is in my small shop, there will be a lot of old things that just meet the requirements of the little brother will be auctioned there, I think the little brother is not a person who is short of money, so you can go in and have a try, maybe there will be a lot of gains."
Hehehe, of course, if the little brother is not interested in that kind of occasion here, I will definitely not disappoint you, and there are still a few large open door objects on the counter. It's just that the auction in this store will be relatively secretive, and I hope that the little brother can keep it secret for the time being. ”
"Oh, the auction? This should be the black market? Liang Yue said bluntly in his heart, but he also subconsciously lowered his voice.
The old man laughed. He said indifferently: "It's not a black market, in fact, at the beginning, it was just a few of us old guys sitting together to exchange collections, and most of the occasional entry and exit were in the form of bartering, but I didn't expect that later our small circle became bigger and bigger, and more and more people participated." Some people are willing to ship, and some people are willing to enhance their collections.
Although there is no guarantee that everything will come from an orderly background, and even occasionally there will be a few shoddy fakes, but the antique industry, relying on a pair of discerning eyes and a well-informed brain, everyone has ever paid tuition, but fortunately, the probability of buying inferior goods in our small circle is still very low, and occasionally there are a few leaks. That's the number you can count, hehe. ”
"This is understandable, the antique industry, there are some rules that have been handed down since ancient times, whether you can buy good things depends on whether the ability on your body is enough, and you can't complain about others, but ~"
Liang Yue said, paused lightly in her voice, touched her chin, which was a little itchy by Xiao Miaohan's hair, looked at the old man in front of her and continued: "I think I must enter this circle." That should be a high threshold? ”
"That is, our circle is actually basically closed to the outside world, and every time a new person wants to come in, there must be at least a trustworthy old guy to lead the way. And don't hide it, but anyone who can enter our auction must at least be able to afford the money, just like this time, most of the people present are the powerful people in our Luojing City, and all of them are famous and surnamed. So in terms of security, that's absolutely fine.
Alas~! Think about it, this seems to be the highest standard auction held in our circle, from the original purpose of the exchange collection is getting farther and farther away, we old guys, also slowly began to retreat from the organizers, personally watched their original circle, from the original leading exchange collection, step by step to the present, and slowly developed into a well-known cultural relics trading platform. ”
When the old man said this, he seemed to have some feelings, sighed lightly, and there was some aftertaste in it, and then looked at Liang Yue and continued.
"Little brother, you are here this time is indeed the right time, but everything has a reason, since the little old man can directly send you an invitation here, it is naturally for a reason, hehehe, to be honest, what the little brother did on the antique street before, in fact, has spread throughout the entire block in just a few minutes, like me and a few other old guys, have been operating here for many years, and are secretly responsible for operating such a communication platform, the circulation and timeliness of the news are naturally the most important.
Coincidentally, the little brother punished the evil and promoted the good, and rectified the traffickers who didn't know the height of the sky and stretched out their hands indiscriminately, but in fact, they also indirectly saved a favor, and the few children who were rescued by the little friend, but there happened to be one person who was related to an old friend of mine, to be exact, it was the great-grandson of my old friend, who was abducted by those traffickers half an hour ago, because there had never been a similar incident here in the antique street before, so we were also negligent in taking precautions, but fortunately, the little friend took action. So as not to make the situation more and more serious, little old man, here, I will thank my old friend first. ”
As he spoke, the old man staggered up from his seat, and solemnly bowed slightly to Liang Yue's side, the old man's hands and feet were a little unsharp, as if he still had some old injuries.
Seeing this, Liang Yue also hurriedly returned the salute, and then reached out to help him, and the old man also slowly sat back in his seat, took a slight breath, and continued: "So although the little brother is relieved here, the invitation letter in front of him is just that the little brother is at the right time, and there is a need to buy antique objects, and the little old man is also taking advantage of the trend here, that is, it is convenient for the little friend, and it is also for my old friend to express his heart, that's all." ”
"Since that's the case, then I'll thank the old man for his kindness here, hehe, I'm really interested in mixing up with that kind of occasion, well, is it here?" Liang Yue picked up the invitation on the counter, and then pointed to the screen on the side.
"Hehehe, as long as Xiaoyou goes inside along this road, there will naturally be someone to guide you when you go out." The old man chuckled and pointed in the direction that Liang Yue had just said.
"Thank you! That's going now. ”
After speaking, Liang Yue nodded to the other party very simply, and then walked behind the screen with Xiao Miaohan in her arms, still carrying the bamboo box with wood carvings behind her back.
"Brother Liang Yue, what did you say to that old man just now, what kind of human trafficker, righteous action? Why don't you know, if something happened when people were asleep? As he was walking forward, Xiao Miaohan in his arms said this coldly, which directly caught Liang Yue off guard.
