Chapter 29: The Thief and the Seller
The guy in the treasure shop was startled by Hu Fei letting him into the account room and letting the shopkeeper in the room settle the accounts, and the shopkeeper thought that Hu Fei was a customer in the wrong room.
What's polite to the shopkeeper? Hu Fei immediately repeated the two sentences he said to the shopkeeper when he entered the door and said to the man: "I came to find the boss, and Mr. Gai asked me to come." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, his face immediately became more exaggerated than that of the guy, and his face turned white almost instantly. However, in the end, it was Gai Zhonghua's introduction of the downline, although the shopkeeper seemed to be frightened, but the words he said were still polite, "It turned out that Mr. Gai introduced him, distinguished guest, distinguished guest!" Our owner is not here at this time, you wait, I'll find someone to call you!" ”
Although the others are very boring, there are tea and snacks to eat and drink, and the shopkeeper is accompanying the chatter, and the time is not slow. After drinking a pot of tea, the door of the account room opened, and another person came in from outside. Looking at this person's medium height, in his forties, there was a slight crust on the top of his head, and he said hello when he entered the door. After the introduction of the shopkeeper, this is the owner of HSBC Jumbo Bank, Na Xinping.
That Xinping has all the qualities that a good businessman should have in this era. As soon as they met, they hugged their fists, asked Gai Zhonghua about his recent life with a smile, and then praised Hu Fei for his spirit, talent, and so on. Of course, Hu Fei followed Na Xinping's words to praise the good location, good layout, and good interior furnishings of this store.
In short, after two people meet, it is a mutual compliment, although there is nothing new, but it is an indispensable procedure for strangers to meet. After the greetings, it was time to talk about business, and Xinping cautiously asked Hu Fei what was the matter with him.
"Of course, it's time to negotiate a deal." Hu Fei smiled, "Mr. Gai often praises the boss for being fair in business and a good partner in business. This time, I happen to have a batch of goods that I want to sell, so please see if you can eat it. As he spoke, Hu Fei took out a small cloth bag from his arms and opened it, inside was a pair of jade bracelets and a small teacup of blue and white porcelain.
"South Sea Emerald? Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain? After taking the things over and taking a closer look, Na Xinping recognized the origin of the two things at a glance, "How many such things do you have?" ”
"A lot. A few hundred pieces is just a few hundred pieces, no less! ”
Hu Fei said this, and Na Xinping, who was still wearing a businessman's professional smile just now, suddenly widened his eyes in surprise, "Hundreds? Are they all this kind of jade bracelets and blue and white tea cups? ”
"Of course not. There are large porcelain vases," Hu Fei compared with his hand at a height of half a meter above the ground, "There are also celebrity calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, and the like." There are probably a few cars. ”
He said it casually, and Xinping was dizzy when he heard it. Of course, more than the dizziness is the excitement. If he takes all these treasures, how much money will he have to make? However, after being excited, Na Xinping frowned again, and after thinking about it for a while, he shook his head regretfully.
"Things are good things, if I had relied on the three words Mr. Gai last year, I would have taken it all. But the current situation is a bit difficult. ”
"Oh? What does the boss mean by difficult? Hu Fei looked at Xinping curiously. He didn't believe that this person would not be able to do business because the county was occupied by devils, even if the devils didn't come before, there would be no risk in selling stolen goods for Gai Zhonghua? Selling stolen goods has always been a high-risk, high-reward business, no matter who is in charge of this city, this business will never be forbidden!
"Alas, I think Brother Hu is also a cheerful person, so I'll just say it. In the past, I was indeed the first to do this business in Tai'an, and to put it mildly, no matter what kind of thing I have, I can find a buyer! But not anymore! Today's Tai'an is not my own family. Since the second half of last year, there has been an Oriental jewelry store in Tai'an City, and the backers behind this jewelry store are Japanese! ”
"Japanese?" Hu Fei frowned, how could he sell the stolen goods well and involve the Japanese?
"It's Japanese! The big boss behind the Oriental jewelry store is the Japanese Ryunosuke Sato. As soon as this business opened, it seemed to be specifically for my HSBC treasure shop! This year, there have been no less than five inspections of my purchases, and each time the plainclothes team has brought the Japanese with them, and the things that have been seized today will appear on the shelves of Toyo Jewelry tomorrow! ”
"Even the loss of goods was fined, and the family funds I have accumulated over the years have been lost six or seven times out of ten! Originally, I was going to close the business next month, and I would never do this again. Unexpectedly, Brother Hu came to the door today! I'm a businessman, and I'm really a little unwilling to see that I don't do business. But now the situation is pressing! Brother Hu, I can't stop it today! ”
After speaking, he hugged his fists again, and the regret on his face was fully revealed.
"Then if I go and smash that Oriental jewelry store, will the boss still be able to do my business?" Hu Fei is also an unwilling person who doesn't do anything, since he is here, he has to do this deal anyway! What could he do? Smash and rob!
"Smashed?" That Xinping not only stared at him this time, but even opened his mouth wide, and stopped for a few seconds before he came back to this smell, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't don't, don't smash it!" Brother Hu, if you smash his jewelry store, the first Japanese will suspect that I did it! I'm in business, and doing business is all about making money with harmony, and I don't want the Japanese to seal my store door and arrest my people in a fit of rage! This plan doesn't work, it never works! ”
Didn't you just say that you want to buy and sell and not do this in the future? Why are you still afraid that the Japanese will close your store? Those who do business are afraid of wolves and tigers! But Hu Fei really had to make this deal with Na Xinping this time, he couldn't sell the stolen goods to the Japanese firm, right?
"Okay then, I'm not going to smash the Oriental Jewelry Store. Leave this matter to me, you don't care, I promise to shut down that Japanese deal! All you have to do is raise the money and get ready to make a deal with me, and I'll take care of the rest!" Hu Fei patted his chest and took it all over!
"That's fine! As long as it doesn't involve my HSBC treasure line, I did your deal! Don't look at the fact that I lost more than half of my money, if you want to raise money to buy your goods, I can really raise it. Okay, let's settle it like this, I'm responsible for purchasing and selling, and I'll entrust Brother Hu with everything else! After the transaction is completed, I will give you an extra profit! ”
"Twenty percent!"
"It's a deal!"
Hu Fei and Na Xinping talked and discussed the details of the transaction. As for how to bring those cars of valuable treasures to the outside of Tai'an, it was Hu Fei's business, and how to enter the city after arriving outside the city was the responsibility of Xinping. How can I say that this is also a capable person who has been involved in the sale of stolen goods for decades, if the stolen goods can't even enter the city, how can he still do business?
