The matter of the black glazed kettle was successfully done, and then there was one more thing in the Zhu family Zhang Yilong had to find a way to take it down, that is, the blue and white gourd bottle used as a urinal, if that thing was genuine blue and white porcelain, the value would be immeasurable, far from being comparable to a kettle, after all, the ancient blue and white porcelain was the mainstream of ceramics, and the fine blue and white porcelain could often be auctioned at a sky-high price.

"Brother Long, did you buy that black-glazed kettle?"

After making a deal with Teacher Zhu, Teacher Zhu returned to the Eight Immortals Table to discuss with Mu Wanqing and them, and Zhang Yilong and Zhang Zhibin stood aside and talked in a low voice, Zhang Zhibin was of course very concerned about this matter, that kettle was a big leak, if Zhang Yilong was optimistic but didn't take it at a suitable price, wouldn't it be in vain.

"Hmm." Zhang Yilong nodded and smiled, "Teacher Zhu is very easy to talk to, as soon as I asked him, he agreed without saying a word." ”

"How much did that cost? Shouldn't it be expensive, right? Zhang Zhibin said with surprise and joy, "Brother Long, this time you picked up another big leak!" ”

Zhang Yilong shook his head and said: "The price is okay, but it's not a leak, and it's not sure yet, if you can sell it at a high price, then it's really a leak." ”

"Definitely!" Zhang Zhibin said with a fluttering eyebrow, "Brother Long, you have made a fortune!" This time, you first cheated 60,000 yuan from Zhao Laohan's group of bastards, and now you have found such a good thing, which adds up to more than 100,000 yuan, plus what you earned before, I'm afraid you have 200,000 or 300,000 funds, right?! With this money, aren't you going to do something? I can invest in business, there is no need to mix in that auction company anymore, anyway, I am just a small salesman, and I am not an expert leader! ”

Zhang Yilong smiled bitterly: "I've thought about this, I will, but now is not the time, take your time." Xiaobin, let's talk about our plans when we get back to the city. ”

Saying that, he gently patted Zhang Zhibin's shoulder, and looked at the other party with an encouraging look, he now has strong capital Zhang Zhibin knows nothing, if the other party knows that he is a quasi-billionaire, then I don't know how he will feel.

Zhang Yilong knows that Zhang Zhibin has been living a hard life, his biggest ideal is to open an antique shop of his own, for this Zhang Yilong will of course support him, plan to assist him in Haizhou antique street to open a more high-grade antique shop, and then slowly develop and grow.

After chatting with Zhang Zhibin for a while, Zhang Yilong walked back to Mu Wanqing's side, at this moment Mu Wanqing and they were already negotiating with Teacher Zhu and Zhu Laohan about the auction cooperation, which showed that Mu Wanqing took a fancy to the pair of pastel elephant ear bottles.

"Mr. Mu, those two pieces of porcelain are not bad, right?" Zhang Yilong asked casually.

Mu Wanqing turned around and replied: "The pastel porcelain of the Qing Daoguang period, the thing is not bad as a whole, but the glaze is a little damaged, but fortunately, it is only distributed in a small area, which is harmless, so it can be accepted." ”

"That's good." Zhang Yilong said with relief.

After confirming this matter from Mu Wanqing, Zhang Yilong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was not only happy for Mu Wanqing, but also relieved for Teacher Zhu's family, which was a happy thing for everyone.

"Then may I ask, if this pair of bottles is sent to your company for auction, how much deposit can we pay for it?" Teacher Zhu asked suddenly, his face was nervous when he asked this sentence, and it could be seen that he paid great attention to the matter of deposits.

Luo Bing said disappreciatively: "Mr. Zhu, this matter has not been finalized yet, why did you talk about the deposit?" Under normal circumstances, we do not give a deposit, and we will pay you your share after the auction is completed, unless there are special circumstances. ”

"What special circumstances?" Teacher Zhu immediately asked with a red face.

Luo Bing said: "The special situation is that your things are really good, and you can guarantee that they will not be auctioned, so you can give a certain amount of funds as appropriate." ”

"What about us?" Teacher Zhu said eagerly, "If it weren't for the urgency, we didn't plan to auction the old things handed down from our ancestors, I know that it takes a long time for a thing to be auctioned from the time it is sent to the auction, but we can't afford to wait." ”

"If you say that, then there's probably nothing we can do about it." Luo Bing said lightly, "We only consider the best things, but you two things don't seem to be within the scope of considering paying a deposit." ”

"Don't worry, you two." At this moment, Mu Wanqing spoke, and comforted her with a very gentle attitude, "We can't make decisions about this matter, it depends on the meaning of the company, whether we can give a deposit and how much to give, this is all regulated." ”

"Then please ask for help, we can rest assured if we give a little more or less of the deposit." Teacher Zhu pleaded, his face full of disappointment and helplessness at the moment.

"Don't worry, we will." Mu Wanqing agreed.

Luo Bing waved his hand and said: "Then let's do it first, we will give you news, and if you agree to sign a contract then, we can send someone to find you, and you can send things to our company yourself." ”

"Well, well, I hope you can give us a definite answer sooner." Teacher Zhu agreed.

After the two sides talked casually for a while, Luo Bing said goodbye to Boss Zhu and them, and then the group walked out of Zhu's house.

At the gate, Luo Bing said to Mu Wanqing with a smile: "Wanqing, did you come by car?" Why don't you wait and go back to the city together? I have a few friends who celebrate the birthday of an old man in this courtyard, and I want to go back together in the afternoon when they are done. Let's go, let's have fun. ”

"Oh, no." Mu Wanqing shook her hand without hesitation and said, "I want to go back to the company now, and I won't accompany you if I have some things." ”

"Then forget it." Luo Bing's face was gloomy for a while, obviously disappointed.

Then he said goodbye, but before leaving, he stared at the black glazed kettle in Zhang Yilong's hand, his eyes were thoughtful, but no one knew what he was thinking about at the moment.

"Zhang Yilong, let's go back."

After Luo Bing turned around and walked away, Mu Wanqing greeted Zhang Yilong.

"Let's go." Zhang Yilong didn't say much, and sent Mu Wanqing to the parking place.

"Mr. Mu, why don't you go back to Haizhou first." Zhang Yilong said, "My friend still has some things to do here, and we will go back after we deal with it." ”

"Oh, so?" Mu Wanqing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back first, just call me if there's something." ”

"Okay. You get in the car. Zhang Yilong said.

"Bye-bye." Mu Wanqing waved goodbye and walked into the car without hurrying.

After the car started, it drove forward unhurriedly, and Zhang Yilong watched the car drive away until it disappeared around the corner in front of him.

"Brother Long, what did you just say? We're all right. Zhang Zhibin suddenly stepped forward and said in surprise.

"I know, but I still have something." Zhang Yilong said solemnly, "Don't ask anything first, let's go back to Teacher Zhu's house first." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Zhibin and Sanlin looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Zhang Yilong's gourd.

But they didn't ask anything according to what Zhang Yilong said, and just followed Zhang Yilong back to Teacher Zhu's house.

"Yo, you guys...... Why did you guys come back?! Anything else?! Seeing Zhang Yilong and them walking in again, Mr. Zhu was very surprised, he thought that Zhang Yilong had specially come to return the black kettle, and he had been reluctant to go after receiving nearly two thousand yuan from the other party, and he was uneasy, and now the worrying thing seemed to have finally happened.

Zhang Yilong said with a pleasant face: "Teacher Zhu, can we talk?" ”

"What to talk about? You say. Teacher Zhu said with an uneasy expression.

Zhang Yilong said: "There is a restaurant at the entrance of your village, why don't we go there and get together?" We talked over a drink. ”

"What the hell is going on? Let's make it clear first. The more Mr. Zhu listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he felt that the other party was prepared, if he guessed correctly, it was undoubtedly a matter of return, and the other party would have something to do with him.

Zhang Yilong said seriously: "Teacher Zhu, you seem to be a little nervous. I didn't come to you for anything else, mainly to talk to you about the auction deposit for the ear bottle, I don't know if you're interested? ”

"Negotiate a deposit?! All right! As soon as he heard Zhang Yilong say that, Mr. Zhu's eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded and said, "Then let's go!" I'm in for a treat! ”

After he was sure that Zhang Yilong was not looking for him to get the money back, he dispelled his worries, so he immediately happily followed Zhang Yilong and the others to the restaurant at the entrance of the village.

After arriving at the restaurant, Zhang Yilong ordered good wine and food, and he "dominated the guests" and warmly entertained Mr. Zhu.

"Teacher Zhu, come, I'll toast you first." Zhang Yilong raised the cup full of beer and said, "Don't you want a deposit?" This shouldn't be a problem. Send those two pieces of porcelain to our company when you are free one day, and I will definitely give you a deposit. ”

"How many are that?" Teacher Zhu asked with a happy face.

Zhang Yilong didn't answer the rhetorical question, and said, "Teacher Zhu, tell me your ideal amount - how much deposit do you want?" Generally speaking, the price of the thing is estimated, and then the percentage of the deposit is paid, and the level of the deposit depends on the quality of the thing. According to my estimates, your pair of porcelain can be auctioned for more than one million yuan, that is, if you divide half of it, you will get about 500,000 yuan, after all, our auction company still charges a certain commission. ”

"Can you sell more than a million?!" Teacher Zhu's eyes widened and said, "At the beginning, we wanted to pay a deposit of tens of thousands of yuan in advance, and if we estimated it to be more than one million, how much would it be?" ”

Zhang Yilong replied: "It's hard to say how much money can be auctioned now, and the estimate is only an approximate transaction price." Teacher Zhu, why don't you do that? I promise to give you a deposit of 100,000, what do you think? ”

"One hundred thousand?! Brother, you ...... You're not kidding, are you?! Teacher Zhu asked excitedly.

Zhang Yilong said: "How can it be a joke? Word! Didn't I promise you to do it for you? To tell you the truth, our Mr. Luo, the same Mr. Luo who just said that it was difficult to pay your deposit, he was really unwilling to pay the deposit, and then I said a lot of good things to you, but at most it was 100,000, and no more. ”

"100,000 is enough! That's enough! Teacher Zhu nodded busily and said, "Brother, you are really a good person!" I don't even know how to thank you! You really did us a great favor! I ......"

He was inexplicably excited, the wine glass in his hand trembled, and the wine was about to overflow.

"Teacher Zhu, you're welcome, everyone who knows each other is a friend. Here, cheers! Zhang Yilong touched his cup with him, then raised his head and drank it all, heartily.

Teacher Zhu also hurriedly drank the glass of wine in one go.

"Teacher Zhu, I will do my best to help you with this, and I don't want you to repay anything, just have a small request." After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Yilong said solemnly, "There should be some old things in your house, right?" Can you show it to us? ”

"Oh, there's no such thing!" Teacher Zhu replied, "Brother, I'm sorry, but the valuable antiques in my house have been sold out one after another, and now there is only that wooden cabinet and that bottle left, and nothing else." ”

"Really?" Zhang Yilong said with a smile, "You don't want to talk to me, do you?" It's okay, I'll just ask, a little curious. ”

"It's not!" Teacher Zhu hurriedly shook his hand and said, "If there is, I will definitely show it to you!" You've done me a great favor, where am I going to hide anything from you?! ”

Zhang Yilong nodded and said, "I believe in you." But you'd better think about it carefully, and see if you have taken back any antiques in the past, but you have forgotten them, or if they are heirlooms from your family, but they are not valued. ”

"Brother, when I heard you say that, I really remembered it." Teacher Zhu took a breath and said, "I went to a small town a few years ago to run errands, and picked up a thing, it was a bottle, gourd-shaped, colorful on the surface, I felt that the thing was very old, like an antique, and it happened that the boss sold it very cheaply, so I took it back, but those people in the village who knew antiques said that it was a guy and it was worthless, so I didn't care about it, and just left it at home, and now I ......."

Speaking of this, he shook his head with a wry smile, and said no more, as if embarrassed.

"Not bad! This Taobao story is quite legendary. Zhang Yilong pursed his lips and said, "Teacher Zhu, can you bring that thing over and show it to me?" ”

"Oh, no! Dude, don't look at it, there's nothing to see! Teacher Zhu hurriedly shook his head.

"What? Won't show me? Zhang Yilong asked rhetorically.

"Of course not, it's just ...... Inconvenience! That thing is getting dirty now! Teacher Zhu blushed and said.

Zhang Yilong said disappreciably: "It's okay, what's dirty?" We are in the antique industry, who is afraid of getting dirty? Some people even dare to dig into the ancient tombs, let alone in your house, where can it be dirty? Mr. Zhu, go ahead, bring me something to admire, maybe I can find a good buyer for you and buy it for a lot of money. ”

"Brother, what ...... All right! Hearing Zhang Yilong's tone so firm, Mr. Zhu had no choice but to nod his head and agree, and then he said goodbye and left the restaurant.

After waiting for about half an hour, Mr. Zhu walked back with a nylon bag.

"Brother, this is it, I just washed it, but it's still dirty." Teacher Zhu handed the things he brought to Zhang Yilong, including the bag.

"That's right, that's it! My blue and white gourd vase! ”

At first sight, Zhang Yilong secretly felt ecstatic.

The hard work paid off, and the thing he was most optimistic about finally fell into his hands!
