Seeing this statue of Guanyin, Huang Wenbin's eyes lit up. This thing is actually not an ancestral heirloom, in fact, it was Liu De's grandfather, that is, Huang Wenbin's maternal grandfather. When I was just liberated, I broke down superstition, and the Buddha statues were destroyed one by one. The metal can be recycled, and the wood has to be taken to the fire.

Huang Wenbin's maternal grandfather burned a boiler, and one day he burned a lot of Buddha statues. After burning it again and still not burning it, he secretly picked up the Buddha statue and went home - not because he suddenly became a Buddha, but because he felt that this thing might be very valuable.

After the reform and opening up, my grandfather took this Guanyin Bodhisattva statue to show people, people said that this is a good thing, but unfortunately burned once, the outside of the pulp is all burned out, the wood itself is also burned black, in the age can not see what material, no value.

Later, Huang Wenbin's maternal grandfather died, so he passed this Guanyin Bodhisattva statue to Liu De's father. Liu De's father was also not wealthy, and he wanted to make a windfall all day long, and wanted to sell this Guanyin Bodhisattva statue again and again. The market for antiques has been rising, but the quality of this Buddha statue is too poor, and the price offered by others is not high, from a few hundred yuan to several thousand yuan, and the highest price is not more than 20,000 yuan.

Now Liu De's opening is 50,000, of course, it is not worth it. However, Huang Wenbin knew that this was actually a very rare piece of petrified wood, and it was still the most precious golden silk nan, so he was not afraid of fire. Two years later, someone will spend 70,000 yuan to buy it, which will make Liu De make a windfall. These tens of thousands of yuan didn't bring Liu De any good luck, he took the money to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and it ran out in two clicks, and he owed a lot of money, and he almost didn't hack to death to the loan shark.

"It's something your grandfather handed down!" Huang Wenbin's mother said angrily, "I won't let you sell it!" ”

"Mom~Mom~" Huang Wenbin pulled her, and said to Liu De, "This fact is too big, I'll discuss it with my mother first." Then he dragged his mother into the kitchen.

"What kind of mess are you making! Do you want to lend 50,000 to your cousin? Huang Wenbin glared at him, "It's not easy to make some money at home, can't you just throw it into the sea?" A market is going to be demolished! When the house is demolished, I will see who he wants for the three-month deposit. ”

A market has been demolished for a long time, but there are too many people in it to negotiate the cost of demolition, and the result is that the demolition was successful in 2011. The shops have been operating normally for the past few years.

"Mom, my cousin is at least doing his business now." Huang Wenbin persuaded her, "It's better to have a shop than if he was drinking everywhere now, making trouble, fighting, and fighting, okay?" ”

"You can't waste your money in vain!" Huang Wenbin's mother said, "Tattoo parlors, if you don't listen to it, it's not serious, how much better can it be than now?" Our family is not a millionaire, and if we give him 50,000 yuan, we can't get by? ”

"Didn't someone pay 18,000 yuan to buy this Guanyin Bodhisattva statue last time?" Huang Wenbin said, "That's good, we didn't lend him money, so we used 20,000 yuan to invite this bodhisattva to him." If he borrows money, he may waste it, but if it is sold, he will save it. ”

"This was passed on to his dad by my dad, so let's buy it like this, wouldn't it be good?" Huang Wenbin's mother said again.

"What's wrong with it, my grandfather and uncle don't believe in Buddhism, and they keep such a thing just to make money." Huang Wenbin said, "We also gave an extra 2,000." ”

"Then we won't suffer." Huang Wenbin's mother still has concerns, she is the sister of her younger brother, the aunt of her nephew, and she is also the wife of her husband and the mother of her son. ”

"Antiques in the golden era of troubled times, and now there is no war, and the price of antiques is only getting higher and higher." Huang Wenbin said, "The interest rate of the bank is so low, it is too much of a loss to deposit in the bank, it is better to buy antiques, and it is better to appreciate the value." ”

"I don't expect appreciation or anything." Huang Wenbin's mother sighed, "Let's go, since we didn't suffer a loss, and they didn't suffer a loss, then so be it." I don't want to get involved in this, so tell him yourself. If it's settled, I'll take my passbook and withdraw the money. ”

"Let's use my money." Huang Wenbin said. After four years of college, Huang Wenbin worked a summer job on frugality, applied for a scholarship, and had a lot of money in the bank. It's a pity that after graduation, he slackened and couldn't maintain this speed of saving.

If it was before, Huang Wenbin knew that the value of the Guanyin Bodhisattva statue of Lu Dao would be 70,000 yuan in two years, and he would have bought it with at least 50,000 yuan, and he would definitely not let himself make too much money. Now that Huang Wenbin has changed his mind, as long as he doesn't let his relatives suffer, he can be worthy of his conscience.

When he went out to the living room, Liu De also said to Huang Wenbin: "Cousin, your Tieguanyin is really bad, full of astringency. You'd better give me a drink, is there any coke? ”

"Nope." Huang Wenbin said.

"Or Fanta Sprite or something." Liu De said.

"No, I don't have any drinks at home, only tea." Huang Wenbin said that this cousin really has a bad personality, but he will be much better after being cut by a loan shark. Why didn't those loan sharks come and cut him down earlier?

"You don't have any drinks at home, tsk." Liu De shook his head, "What if a distinguished guest comes?" Fortunately, I am a relative, so I won't bother with you. By the way, what about the second aunt? Tattoo parlors are really interesting, and in those big cities, tattoo parlors can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a month. ”

From the opening to the closing of his tattoo parlor, he has done less than ten orders of business in total, and he has never made any money at all. The rent, deposit, and decoration have lost tens of thousands. "You might as well open a less risky one, like a grocery store or a breakfast shop or something." Huang Wenbin remembers that after the tattoo parlor closed, he took over a steamed bun shop, which made a lot of money because of the cheap and high-quality customers.

"Cousin, when it comes to doing business, you don't understand." Liu De said, "The breakfast shop works so hard that you can't make much money every day." Where is like a tattoo parlor, it is leisurely and makes a lot of money. The door opens at 10:11 every day, and you can also play games and read novels online, and it is hundreds of yuan to make an order. ”

"Then take your shoulders." Huang Wenbin said, "I can't borrow your money, you can sell me this Guanyin statue." Didn't someone give 18,000 at that time? How about I'll give you this price? ”

"Eighteen thousand? That's not enough! Liu De said, "It takes at least 25,000 to open a store." ”

"Twenty-five thousand? Then twenty-five thousand. Huang Wenbin said that an extra 5,000 yuan is not a big deal.

"Cousin...... Liu De looked dissatisfied, "I was just about to bargain with you, why did you agree?" You have no professional ethics, do you know the way, don't know the way? I also thought of eighteen reasons why I should sell it at a high price. ”

Huang Wenbin almost vomited blood, and finally came to his senses, "Then how much do you say?" ”

"Of course it's twenty-five thousand." Liu De said, "That's it." He put down the statue of Guanyin, "This thing has finally been sold, and it will be left at home to look at it all day long." Last time, someone offered 18,000, so I said sell it quickly, my dad had to ask for 20,000, but people didn't want it. This heirloom is for you, when will the twenty-five thousand be given to me? ”

"It could be a few more days...... Forget it, I'll give it to you today. Huang Wenbin thought about not dreaming too much at night. He has a fixed deposit that is about to expire, and if he takes it out a week or two in advance, it is just a loss of some interest, and the problem is not very big.

"That's great." Liu De rubbed his palms and said, "Let's go to the bank quickly, which one?" ”

"Wait a while, I need to sign a formal agreement so that there are no problems later." Huang Wenbin said, "My uncle has to sign this agreement, and I have to ask my aunt to be a witness." ”

"Your own relatives, you don't need to be so troublesome, right?" Liu De was very unimpressed.

"It's my own relatives who have to be so troublesome." Huang Wenbin said that if he didn't make it clear now, he would earn tens of thousands of yuan by then, and Liu De would inevitably speak ill of him.

"Cousin, you don't think I secretly took it out from my father, do you?" Liu De said, "How could I do such a thing." I'm not stupid, if I stole it, then I must find someone I don't know to sell the stolen goods, looking for you, won't I be exposed when I call? ”

"My brother also has to settle accounts." Huang Wenbin said.

"You're so troublesome...... Okay, okay, I'll call my dad here, and you can go get the money. Liu De said, "When the time comes, we will make it clear in person." ”

Huang Wenbin went to the bank to get the money, and when he came back, Liu De's father, Liu Jun, had already come. He looked helpless, and couldn't help but say: "Sister, I can't help it, this kid has been making trouble for several weeks, and he must open his own store." It's better to be a business student anyway than to wander around now. ”

"But the business of tattoo parlors is unreliable." Huang Wenbin's mother said.

"Sister, you're out, and now a lot of people have tattoos." Liu Jun said, "In the past, when I was out and about, I carved a character by myself. He held out his hand.

Huang Wenbin looked at it, "Knife heart? What does this mean? ”

"What a knife heart, this is forbearance." Liu Jun said, "It's just a little fatter to open the distance...... Anyway, this tattoo is very popular now. Anyway, the investment is not large, so let the child try it. If you don't do it, you will give the shop to others, and there will be no loss at all, if you accidentally do it, hehe, you will make a fortune. ”

Huang Wenbin's mother saw that the father and son were more unreliable than the other, sighed, and didn't say anything more.

Huang Wenbin then asked: "This Guanyin statue is your heirloom, just sell it like this, there won't be any problems, right?" ”

"What kind of family heirloom, the old man never forgot it back then, but he didn't sell this thing at a good price." Liu Jun said, "When he left, he grabbed my hand, first said who owed him dozens of yuan and didn't pay it back, and then said that there were ten pieces of Guangyang in the pillow...... And then it went. Don't say so much, I've already written the agreement, everyone hurry up, I'm still in a hurry to go to the Internet café. ”
