PS: The third update is up, asking for monthly pass support.

When you hear this, you know that the main event is coming, so you naturally pay attention to it.

"The situation of the cat butterfly pastel porcelain vase in the Qianlong official kiln, I think you also understand it clearly." Chen Lao sighed and said: "Back then, it was the signboard of my uncle's antique shop, but because he was set up by someone to set up a fairy bureau, in order to get through the difficulties, he had to use the bottle to pay off the debt. This incident has always been a resentment of my uncle, and he still wanted to get the bottle back before he died. ”

"For decades, I've been searching for clues to the bottle, but to no avail. Or is there a certain number in the dark, I have completely given up, I didn't expect to see the butterfly play cat bottle again in my lifetime. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Laobai said with mixed feelings: "You are not afraid of your jokes when you say it, when I hear the news, my first reaction is that someone has set up a situation and is ready to trap me." However, when it was really confirmed, I almost couldn't help but cry with joy. ”

"Brother Chen, you should have said it earlier, I didn't know you attached so much importance to this bottle." Zhou Lao sighed slightly: "Otherwise, I will report to you as soon as I see the bottle." ”

"It's a good old day, and when I talk to you about it, I don't have any hope." Chen Lao smiled bitterly: "I even felt that the bottle had been destroyed, and when I was disheartened, I naturally didn't say much." Fortunately, fortunately, God will not abandon me. Before I could step into the coffin, I finally found the bottle. Even if he leaves now, he is worthy of his uncle. ”

"Brother Chen, when you say this, you are planning to do without bottles?" Zhou Lao said with a smile: "That will be much easier to do, and it will save me as an intermediary in a dilemma." ”

What is the difficulty, everyone also knows in their hearts. It's nothing more than worrying that Wang Guan's Chen Lao can't reach an agreement, so it's really uncomfortable for Zhou Lao to be caught in the middle.

"Don't worry, it won't embarrass you." At the same time, Chen Lao smiled lightly, looked at Wang Guandao, and suddenly asked, "Young man." What do you think of this store? ”

"Shop?" Wang Guan was stunned, and suddenly thought of a possibility, and his face unconsciously showed surprise.

In fact, it was not only he who thought of it, Yu Feibai's reaction was not slow, but also more direct, and he couldn't help asking: "Old Chen, do you want to exchange bottles with Wang Guan in this shop?" ”

"Why not." Chen Lao smiled and said: "The old man has no long things, and the only thing he can do is this store that has been in business for 30 years." Considering the price of goods in the capital, this house should be worth a bottle. ”

Housing prices in the capital are very high. As for how high it is, it also depends on the environment. For example, this store is located in Liulichang, that is, Xicheng District, a veritable city center, and the price must be very high. Moreover, listening to what Chen Lao meant, it is not just the storefront, but also the land of the store......

Wang Guan couldn't figure it out, but Yu Fei was white. After estimating the space in the attic, and after some addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, completely." ”

Of course. Considering the elasticity of the price of the butterfly play cat pastel bottle, if you calculate it according to the highest price, this attic will definitely be far less than that amount. The problem is that even the price difference is more than half. Yu Feibai still thinks that the price of the two is equal, and even thinks that it is profitable to exchange the bottle.

After all, the price of art is not set in stone and is easily affected by various factors. Especially when the market economy is sluggish, or tens of millions of things in previous years, this year it will be millions. But real estate is different, even if the government shouts every day to limit housing prices, but everyone is clear in their hearts, housing prices will only get higher and higher, and the possibility of collapse is zero.

Especially in places like the center of the capital, price caps don't work. You limit yours, I raise mine, and if you can afford to buy a house, there is no matter what price limit order; Those who can't afford to buy a house are staring at each other, and they also wish that the housing prices would be higher, which would make those who could afford it bleed. Therefore, in this part of China, houses are much more reliable than gold.

Wang Guan also knew this truth in his heart, so he naturally felt a little strange. After all, even they feel that it is a loss to exchange the attic for pastel bottles, and there is no reason why Chen Lao does not understand.

At this time, Zhou Lao was also very surprised: "Brother Chen, have you thought it through?" This Wengu Zhai is the foundation that you have worked hard for decades to create. ”

"Inheritance? If there is no inheritance, how can it be called a foundation? ”

Chen Lao smiled bitterly: "Yi Zhi, you know a little bit about my family's situation. The children and grandchildren are more enthusiastic about the operation of shopping malls, and they have no interest in collecting antiques at all. I'm okay, if I'm not there one day, Wenguzhai is estimated to be out of business.

When Zhou Lao heard this, he was speechless. Because this is a fact, in recent years, they have encountered such things many times. After the death of an old friend who was obsessed with antiques during his lifetime, the family's collection was immediately sold off by his children and grandchildren.

"Instead of letting them waste things like this, it's better to let me settle it properly and leave it to the destined people." Old Chen sighed lightly and asked with a smile, "Young man, are you interested in taking over this shop?" ”

"Interested, of course interested."

Sensing that Wang Guan was still a little distracted, Yu Feibai hurriedly replied: "He originally had the intention of opening a store, but he didn't expect it to be realized all at once now, and his mind was somewhat confused. ”

"Yes, a bit of a surprise." Wang Guan came to his senses and smiled embarrassedly: "I didn't expect Old Chen to exchange like this, it's too unexpected." ”

After all, there is no such thing as hate for no reason, and there is no love for no reason. The two met for the first time, but Chen Lao seemed to recognize him, which made Wang Guan a little confused.

"Hehe, of course there's a reason."

Chen Lao smiled and said: "I have long wanted to find someone to take over the store, but I have never found a suitable candidate. When I heard the news of the reappearance of the pastel bottle the other day, I immediately wanted to buy it. But considering that the price should be very expensive, I heard that you have a good relationship with Ling Xi, so I came to visit, planning to ask Ling Xi to help make peace. ”

"Ling Xi readily agreed, saying that you don't pay much attention to money, and you are sure to persuade you to transfer the pastel bottle to me at a low price."

Speaking of this, Chen Lao shook his head and sighed lightly: "I was very happy at the time, but afterwards I suddenly thought that even if it was parity, I didn't have that much cash." I pondered for a long time, and suddenly I had an idea, thinking that I would simply give Wengu Zhai to Ling Xide, and then immediately go to him to sum up. I didn't think that when he heard it, he laughed at me for doing this too much, and wouldn't it be just a direct exchange with you. ”

"At first, I disagreed. After all, Wengu Zhai was founded by me, and I have some feelings. Even if it is transferred to someone else, it is hoped that the person who will take over the antique will continue to operate the antique and not use it for other purposes. ”

Glancing at Wang Guan, Chen Lao continued: "But Ling Xi told me that you won't do this, on the contrary, you will run the store better." I thought about it for a few days and felt that we were also fated, so I agreed. ”

After a while, everyone suddenly realized, and only then did they know that Chen Lao did not trust Wang Guan, but believed in Qian Lao.

"Young man, now that you know the cause and effect, you can tell me what your decision is." At this time, Chen Lao smiled and said, "To change, or not to change?" ”

"Change!" Wang Guan said categorically, the fool will not change. This is something you are willing to do, and there is no compulsion and no loss. He thinks it's worth it, and Chen Lao feels the same way, so it can be called a win-win situation for everyone.

"That's good." Elder Chen nodded lightly and motioned to the middle-aged man next to him, "Lawyer Wu, you can start now." ”

"Okay, Old Chen." Lawyer Wu showed a little smile on his face, and then took out pages and pages of documents and materials very professionally, all of which were Wenguzhai's property rights certificates or something. Chen Lao is obviously well prepared, and the contract has been drafted in advance, just waiting for Wang Guan to sign it.

Wang Guan browsed the contract a little, felt that there was no problem, and immediately put pen to paper and attached his name. From a legal point of view, at the moment of signing, the attic is now his property. It was at this time that a complicated look flashed in Chen Lao's eyes, some of whom were lost and reluctant, and some of whom were relieved.

"Young man, do a good job, and wish you a prosperous business in advance. When you reopen, don't forget to give me an invitation. Chen Lao said softly, declined everyone's gifts, and walked out slowly accompanied by Lawyer Wu, his rickety back looked a little lonely.

Everyone was somewhat emotional, and they also understood Chen Lao's current mood. After all, no matter who it is, it must be very sad to transfer the store you founded to someone else.

"Ladies and gentlemen......"

At this time, seeing that the atmosphere was a little gloomy, Yu Feibai immediately clapped his hands and smiled: "Welcome to Wang Dongzhu's antique shop, now is the preferential event before the reopening." Everyone, please follow me to visit, and take whatever you like, don't need money. ”

"Hehe, you young people play slowly."

At the right time, Zhou Lao said with a smile: "I will leave first if I have something, and I will go to Ling Xi's house to celebrate with you in the evening." ”

"Okay, Zhou Lao walks slowly......"

After a few people sent Zhou Lao out of the door, they immediately turned around and returned to the store to watch with great interest. I saw that the spacious shop had seven or eight glass counters and five or six wooden shelves, but it didn't look crowded at all.

On top of that, both the counters and the wooden shelves display a wide variety of antique items. Of course, Chen Lao also bluntly admitted that the value of these things is not high, and the really valuable things have been moved home. Despite this, Wang Guan is still very happy, at least with this foundation, he doesn't have to re-do it, and he has avoided a lot of trouble.

After turning around, Yu Feibai proposed, "Let's go, let's go up to the second floor and have a look." ”

Wang Guan and the others naturally had no opinions, so they followed behind Yu Feibai and went up the stairs to the second floor.

Compared to the first floor, the second floor is a bit cramped. However, this is also due to the fact that the second floor is divided into several rooms, and the functions of each room are naturally different. There is a warehouse for storing precious items, and there is also a soundproof VIP room for receiving large customers, and there is also a place for the proprietor and the shopkeeper to rest......
