Chapter 898: Seon Lost His Horse?
Wu Ke heard that Chai Pingzhi's brothers were engaged in the three industries of pawn shops, personal loans and real estate, and he understood what was going on, because these three industries were not so easy to operate.
Regardless of the other two items, let's talk about personal loans, this kind of business is not so easy to operate really legally. One of the biggest difficulties is that there are likely to be a lot of old people among the borrowers, otherwise if the borrowers are high-quality customers, then why don't they go to the bank to borrow low interest rates, but come to you to borrow high interest rates?
Of course, there are also some factors of the bank, but in any case, among these people who go to personal loan companies to borrow, high-quality customers must be very rare, and real personal loan company borrowers are overdue.
When it comes time to collect the money, it is easy to say if it is a trustworthy borrower, but it is not so easy to recover the arrears from those old people, so some illegal means may be taken. Based on this, if there is no relationship, it is difficult to do a business like personal loans for a long time, let alone a big one.
The other two, pawn shops and personal payments are closely related, not to mention the real estate business, anyway, if these three industries have a strong background, then don't blame that there is no scum left to be eaten by others in the end.
Thinking of this, Wu Ke asked a little strangely: "That's not right, since that's the case, then he should go to public relations now, and still have the heart to hold an exchange meeting?" ”
Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "Xiao Ke, don't forget, who can play antiques now, which one is not a rich person?" Some of them are masters with strong backgrounds, such as Xiaochen. ”
"That's it!" Wu Ke said to Chu Chen with a smile: "Ah Chen, if Chai Pingle knows your identity. Will he kill you? ”
Chu Chen smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter if he stutters or not, except for antiques anyway." I don't want to talk to him too much about other things. ”
Regarding Chu Chen's attitude, Uncle Wu and Zhu Dafu both agreed. After all, the family represented by Chu Chen is very unusual, and he has too much contact with this kind of person who is very likely to be involved in the gray area, and the impact is really not good.
At this time, Zhu Dafu smiled and said: "Xiao Ke, I remember that Chai Pingle will use beauty tricks, you have to be careful in this regard!" ”
Wu Ke hugged Chu Chen's arm and sneered: "My Achen is not that kind of person at all, I am very relieved in this regard!" ”
That being said, though. Wu Ke was still concerned about this matter in her heart, she believed that Chu Chen would not empathize with her, but who told her to care so much about Chu Chen?
…………
Due to the contact in advance, after Chu Chen and the others got off the plane, they saw the pick-up staff holding a sign at the exit, and then under the enthusiastic guidance of the pick-up staff, they got into a business car.
Seeing that the car was not driving in the direction of the city, Wu Ke asked, "Shall we go directly to Shiyan Lake?" ”
"That's right, let's stay there first. Play for a day or two, and the day after tomorrow go directly to the exchange meeting. ”
Uncle Wu said with a smile: "Maybe, Lao Zhao and they are already waiting for us there." ”
Wu Ke nodded, and then asked again, "That's right." Speaking of Uncle Zhao, why did he come over so early this time? ”
Chu Chen replied: "This time, a friend of Uncle Zhao here in Star City wanted to transfer some things, so he came over a few days earlier. ”
Uncle Wu took over and said, "I don't know how Lao Zhao gained this time." If there are too many things, you have to give us some evenness, right? ”
"It's really hard to say, Lao Zhao is getting more and more slammed on the door now. Last time I asked him for a piece of jade, he didn't even give up! Zhu Dafu looked a little dissatisfied.
Uncle Wu smiled: "Old Zhu." Don't blame him for this, he is also thinking about his son and wants to sell for more money. ”
Zhu Dafu snorted: "If you want to sell for more money, he will say it directly, and I won't give it back!" ”
Uncle Wu said: "That's what he said, but how could he ask you if you really want money?" And if you ask him about the jade he wants, I guess the value should be not low, right? ”
Zhu Dafu replied: "It's not low, the market value is about one million." ”
Uncle Wu spread his hands and said: "Then it's okay, he can go to the auction for such a jade, and it is higher than the market value!" However, since this guy has such a good thing, why don't you know how to give me an appreciation, I have to talk to him about it later! ”
Zhu Dafu patted his hands: "You see, I'm just very dissatisfied with his attitude, if you don't give me some compensation for a while, I don't mind if I stay and lose weight for him......"
Talking and laughing, the car came to the door of a hotel located next to Shiyan Lake.
When they came to the front desk, Uncle Wu reported everyone's names, and the waiter immediately took them to the room prepared for them, because of the large number of people, they stayed in two suites.
In the suite, there is a living room balcony, including several rooms, refrigerators, air conditioners, TVs, and Internet access, etc., which are very complete and look very luxurious.
Originally, Chu Chen thought that Chai Pingle had arranged such a room for all the participants this time, and for this reason, he also praised Chai Pingle for being very atmospheric.
However, Uncle Wu said with a smile, this is impossible, even if Chai Pingle is willing to pay so much money, it is impossible for there to be so many such luxurious rooms in the hotel, generally rooms like this are lived in by the old-timers, and the reason why they can arrange such a room is completely thanks to Liu Lao's blessing.
Chu Chen thought about it, even if his master didn't come, Chai Pingle didn't dare to snub them.
Everyone packed their luggage, and seeing that it was noon, everyone went downstairs to the restaurant together, ready to settle lunch.
Walking into the elevator, Chu Chen opened his mouth and asked, "By the way, Dad, didn't you call Uncle Zhao?" ”
Uncle Wu smiled: "Just now, your rich uncle has already beaten us, saying that he is waiting for us in the restaurant." ”
Chu Chen asked with interest, "Then did he say that he had gained anything this time?" ”
Zhu Dafu shook his head and said: "He just said four words, it's hard to say!" And listening to his tone, he was a little depressed, and he didn't know what had happened. ”
Chu Chen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself, could it be that someone put him in a position?
With such doubts, Chu Chen saw Zhao Xueyi, who had gained three taels of meat, and looked at his smiling appearance, it shouldn't look like he had suffered a loss, what the hell is going on?
Zhu Dafu first asked this question: "I said Lao Zhao, you kid looks very happy, why did you call you just now, and sigh?" ”
"Don't mention it!" Zhao Xueyi waved his hand: "It's not that my 'friend' has something to transfer this time, he does have something at that time, but when it's over, he will give me a package adjustment plan......"
It turned out that Zhao Xueyi encountered the same drama of exchanging genuine products as Uncle Wu and Lao Wu encountered before, and he actually changed it directly under Zhao Xueyi's nose.
How is this possible, one might ask? It's easy to say, because the box containing the antiques is specially made, and you can secretly change the contents of the box from under the table.
Fortunately, Zhao Xueyi was lucky, when he was about to say goodbye, there was a deceived person to settle the account, he thought it was wrong, and quickly took out the things, and found that it was really changed, which made him angry enough!
Fortunately, the matter was discovered early, and the other party returned the money in the end, otherwise Zhao Xueyi would have lost a lot this time.
After talking about the cause and effect of the matter, Zhao Xueyi said with a smile: "As the old saying goes, I don't know if I'm blessed, I just walked around the antique market in Star City in the past two days, but I didn't expect to really pick up a good thing for me!" ”
"What's good?" Zhu Dafu hurriedly asked.
"This matter will be kept secret for the time being, and we will talk about it after we have dinner!" Zhao Xueyi said with the old god there.
"You guy, you don't make people feel sure when you eat, hurry up, what the hell is it!" Zhu Dafu scolded with a smile.
Uncle Wu also smiled: "That's it, let's talk about it, I still want to have a stable meal!" ”
Zhao Xueyi saw that he was angry, and hurriedly said, "Okay! All right! Let me reveal one thing first, it is a literary game. ”
"Cultural play? Uncle Zhao, do you mean 'small and big'? Chu Chen asked.
The so-called cultural play refers to the four treasures of the study and the various study utensils derived from it.
In China's traditional stationery utensils, pen, ink, paper, inkstone is the most basic stationery utensils, since the Ming and Qing dynasties, the study has been further developed, there has been a variety of stationery with "pen, ink, paper, inkstone" matching, mainly pen holder, pen wash, ink bed, inkstone, water, arm rest, paperweight, printing box, seal and so on.
These stationery have different shapes, finely carved, can be used and appreciated, making them arts and crafts in the study and on the bookcase. Therefore, it is also called composition play.
Although the Four Treasures of the Scholars were founded very early, they did not develop until the Tang and Song dynasties, that is, after the traditional art of calligraphy and painting became mature and perfected and the literati doctor group was formed, that they really found and realized their due status and value, and became an indispensable instrument for the desk of literati and even the emperor's official study.
One of the major features of Wenwan is its small size. As a desk desk for a few play, generally not a large foot, small less than an inch, can be set on the case, but also can play in the palm, can be viewed from afar, can also be taken closely. In particular, some ornaments are often condensed in large pieces, and the large pieces are reduced, and the small ones are big, and the mustard Sumeru has the saying of "small utensils and big samples" in the antique world.
"That's right, it's a small thing!" Zhao Xueyi nodded again and again: "And let me tell you, that thing is really amazing, before that, I have never seen a collector have such a beautiful and exquisite cultural artifact in his hands!" ”
"That's it! All right! Zhu Dafu waved his hand: "The dishes are all served, eat quickly, I will come to see your things in a while, whether they are as good as you blow!" ”
Zhao Xueyi immediately retorted: "I'm seeking truth from facts, how can I call it blowing!" Forget it, just talk about not practicing fake tricks, and let you see in a while, what is called the treasure in the 'small instrument and big sample'! (To be continued......)
