After more than half an hour of communication, Liu Yuhao finally figured out that the two old men were indeed husband and wife, the man's name was Yu Hui, who was a young man who returned to the city, and his wife Wang Zhaodi was Yu Hui's daughter-in-law who married him in the countryside back then.

Just because Yuhui didn't recruit workers to return to the city, he has never had a real hukou in the capital, let alone all kinds of guarantees that he should have.

After the couple returned to the city, they had been renting a small house in Nancheng to buy breakfast for a living, but the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, just when the old couple thought that they could spend the second half of their lives so happily, Wang Zhaodi was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer.

After learning of his wife's misfortune, Afterglow searched all the relatives in the capital and failed to borrow much money, so he had no choice but to take his sick wife home from the hospital.

How else to say that there is no endless road!

Just when the old couple were about to despair, they met a retired teacher who knew a little about antiques, and the old man looked at the chairs they brought to the capital from the countryside and suspected that it was red sandalwood, so he asked Yuhui to try his luck at the glaze factory.

What kind of virtue are the hawkers in the glaze factory, Liu Yuhao is clear in his heart.

Now there is no pawnshop in the old days, but basically it is not much different from those people on TV who shout "bare board**, insects eat rats, and a broken jacket".

There was once a time when Liu Yuhao accompanied Mr. Qi to shop for old things, and just walked into an old shop, because Mr. Qi was interested in the objects in that store, and the master and apprentice stayed there for a while.

Just when the two of them were about to leave, a seller happened to come in, carrying a "blind antique who doesn't open his eyes" and said: "You don't receive goods here, there is no big buyer who knows how to do it, ask if there is a real connoisseur there?" ”

The vendor in the shop took a look at it and said, "Go out and take a taxi to any place, and the people who sell antiques there are all connoisseurs."

Who knows, the stupid boy said thank you, turned around and ran away.

Liu Yuhao laughed in his heart at that time, there are no antiques in the place that the vendor said, and even if there is, it sells furniture.

It can be seen that Yu Hui must have touched a nose of ash in the Liuli Factory, and he happened to be seen by Zhou Xi before coming here.

"Old man, you 400,000"

Liu Yuhao was just about to say that it was a bit of a loss to sell these two chairs for 400,000 yuan, but he didn't expect that before he could say it, the old man, who was already a little restrained, couldn't sit still.

"Sir, if you think the price is too high, we can discuss it again, you can do it, and ask for these two chairs."

As the old man spoke, a sad cry came out of his nose.

Originally, Yu Hui was already desperate about treating his wife, but he didn't expect that the two chairs brought out of the countryside because of the embarrassment of life rekindled the hope of the old couple. Now, if others repent, won't they rejoice again?

Liu Yuhao smiled, glanced at Wang Zhaodi, whose face was gray, and said, "Old man, in fact, you didn't listen to me, I mean"

Yu Hui stood up tremblingly, waved his hands excitedly, and said, "Sir, I know what you mean, can you listen to me?" ”

Liu Yuhao nodded a little crying and laughing, and said, "Old man, please speak!" ”

Yu Hui glanced at his wife, and said with a ashamed expression: "Sir, I won't tell you, in fact, there is a small square table with this chair, but I don't have a table at home, so I didn't bring it, if you accept this chair, the small square table will be given to you together." ”

As soon as the old couple thought that they had been sitting on the chair they had used for decades, they wanted to ask someone for 400,000 yuan, after all, they were still a little nervous in their hearts, and they didn't listen to Liu Yuhao's words just now, so they said everything they thought in their hearts first.

This stunned Liu Yuhao and asked, "Old man, do you mean that you still have a small square table that is exactly the same as a chair at home?" ”

"Yes, it's always on our bedside as a table!" Wang Zhaodi nodded affirmatively for her husband.

"That is to say, this should be a complete set of chicken blood sandalwood home! Damn, this kid Zhou Xi picked it up. Liu Yuhao was secretly relieved in his heart.

Ancient furniture, especially as a functional and appreciative furniture, has high ornamental and economic value.

After the Ming and Qing dynasties, red sandalwood, one of the four main hardwoods for making furniture, gradually became scarce, and more than ninety percent of the furniture did not pay attention to dust and mothproof, and there were almost few complete sets of furniture that could really be handed down to the present.

In the circle, being able to collect a set of rosewood tables and chairs has always been a thing that everyone talks about when they drink tea and chat, but I didn't expect to be met by Zhou Xi so simply.

Hey! It's really lucky, the door panel can't stop it!

Zhou Xi stared at the old couple of Yuhui for a while, and then turned to Liu Yuhao to take a look, and began to be secretly surprised in his heart.

You must know that Liu Yuhao is usually much more reliable than himself, if those two chairs were not sandalwood, he would not be able to talk to these two people now.

Zhou Xi couldn't suppress his excitement and secretly thought in his heart: "So, my brother also has to pick up the leaks?" At the same time, some shiny color oozed from his slightly ruddy face.

"That's it, sir." In order to help the old man Yuhui fight for a little more of the benefits he deserves, Liu Yuhao stood up and said, "You go back and bring Xiao Fangji first, and then we will set a price for you together, what do you think?" ”

"Good, good, good! I'll take it at home. The old man nodded in agreement.

Waiting for the female secretary of the company to send the two old men out, Zhou Xi couldn't wait to sit on one of the chicken blood sandalwood chairs, and said with a smile: "How about the fourth?" ”

"Not good." Liu Yuhao pursed his lips and sneered disdainfully.

Zhou Xi was confused by Liu Yuhao's expression, was stunned for a moment, and said, "Isn't this chair sandalwood?" ”

"Yes and no." Liu Yuhao said with a smile.

"Is that a good idea?"

Zhou Xi was anxious, now Liu Yuhao's vague attitude is tickling like a cat scratching his heart, it can be said that the fourth child's words can determine whether he will pay 400,000 yuan to buy this chair next.

Seeing Zhou Xi's funny appearance of scratching his ears and cheeks, Liu Yuhao was amused and said: "Stupid, this is chicken blood sandalwood, I don't know how rare it is compared to ordinary red sandalwood." ”

"Mother, this time I finally let my buddy pick it up."

When Zhou Xi heard this, the two families who were immediately excited also cocked together to make a slap.

Gently stroking the thick vitreous slurry that naturally formed on the chair, Liu Yuhao sighed and said, "Brother Zhou, if it is confirmed that the square table and the chair are a set, even if it is four million, it may not be able to buy it." ”

"Can't buy it for four million?"

Zhou Xi's eyes widened, as if a spring was installed behind his back, and he sat up straight.

Antique appreciation is not the same as doing business, in the business field, Zhou Xi has more skill and wisdom than ordinary people, but in terms of antique appreciation, his eyesight is still far behind.

Whether it is 400,000 or 4 million, if it is placed in normal times, it is a drop in the bucket for Zhou Xi.

But today is different, today is his own leak, and it is the first time to pick up a leak, this kind of sense of accomplishment that bursts out from the depths of his heart is like a gambling stone gambling up, stimulating every pore of him.

Looking at Zhou Xi's stunned image, Liu Yuhao shook his head with a wry smile.

However, having said that, Liu Yuhao was also a little envious of Zhou Xi in his heart.

To say that there have been a lot of leaks in the past two years, but there is no ancient furniture, I have to say that this is something that Liu Yuhao has always regretted.

You must know that after hundreds of years of circulation, because wooden things are easy to decay, and after several major destructions, good Ming and Qing furniture can be used for trading in addition to being kept in the hands of museums and private collectors.

It is almost rare to find a complete and well-shaped furniture that has not been touched on the market, and many of them are "fork goods" or furniture pretending to be in the Ming and Qing dynasties after being old, so that connoisseurs are often distracted, not to mention ordinary collectors or antique furniture lovers.

Some spent millions or even tens of millions of dollars to buy the so-called Huanghuali furniture, red sandalwood furniture, almost none of them can be called the collection of fine products, only the general furnishings and use value, which is very regrettable.

"Brother Zhou, I'll discuss something with you."

Liu Yuhao saw that Zhou Xi was in a good mood, so he took the opportunity to put forward his thoughts.

Sure enough, Zhou Xi smiled and said: "If you have something, just talk about it, let's talk about who is with whom!" ”

Liu Yuhao said with a smile: "Then I said that you can't be in a hurry with me." ”

"No, how can I be anxious with my brother." Zhou Xi waved his hand.

Liu Yuhao put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "Brother Zhou, no matter how many pairs of Xiaofang are wrong, you still give the old couple a million." ”

"What? Fourth, you, what did you just say? ”

Zhou Xi was stunned, opened his mouth wide in surprise, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by confusion and incomprehension.

Can we not play like this?

Liu Yuhao also knew that it was a bit too much for Zhou Xi to make such a request, but he didn't care if he had already said it.

Pressing Zhou Xi on the sofa with a smile, Liu Yuhao brought a cup of tea and said: "I see that the couple is pitiful, if you don't come out, I will be out of the 600,000 yuan, we can't be that profiteer with no conscience." ”

"No, no, you have to explain this to your brother, why are you not a profiteer when you knock Wu Lingsong's money, and I will have no conscience?"

Zhou Xi quit, deliberately put on a tiger face, and posed that Liu Yuhao would not give up without giving him a satisfactory answer, but no matter how you look at it, he still looks like a thief, which makes people feel funny and funny.
