Chapter 22: Exploring the Water and Finding the Dragon (Ask for Subscription~)

"What don't I dare, just say it." I gave a blank look at the fat man.

The fat man muttered: "Speaking of which, in this whole capital, if you dare to touch wet goods, it will be No. 88, why don't we go to No. 88 to try?" ”

After he finished speaking, he also made a taboo expression: "Lao Chen, you said that No. 88, it's not a clean place, do what we do, I'm most afraid of things that don't do clean, I'll just make a suggestion, or you should consider it?" ”

What he said is indeed a thing, if we really go to No. 88, what impact will it have on our future business, although the matter in front of us is very urgent, but we can't use our careers as a bet.

I thought for a moment and said, "Well, let's go back and call to see if anyone else has taken this thing." ”

I took a taxi with the fat man and ran all the way back to my rental house, although the house was broken and small, but fortunately, it was not far from the glass factory, and the location was not bad.

As soon as I entered the door, I started talking on the phone with the fat man, he was in the living room, I was in the bedroom, and I played for three hours, I came out of the bedroom with a dry mouth, and saw the fat man lying on the sofa staring hopelessly at the ceiling.

"How much?" He asked me.

I gestured to him with a seven, and he smiled bitterly: "The highest price on Lao Tzu's side, 750,000, is 50,000 more than you." ”

I sat next to him, lit a cigarette and began to smoke one after another, thinking over and over again in my head whether there was anyone I hadn't contacted, or where I could squeeze out another 300,000, but I was about to break my head, and I didn't come up with a reason.

The fat man also pondered for a long time, sat up, rubbed his face and said to me: "Lao Chen, Lao Tzu has thought about it, listen to you, go to No. 88 to try your luck!" ”

"Got it figured?"

He nodded resolutely: "Lao Tzu just heard how cloudy it is, and I really haven't gone in to see it, so I don't believe it, can it still be a ghost watching the store?" ”

The fat man is right, there are a lot of rumors about No. 88 Liulichang in the antique circle, and some people even say that the first level of their recruitment of clerks is to throw people to the mass grave for half a month, and people who can come out without being crazy or stupid, and then talk about anything else.

But I think it's a bit of nonsense, which job seeker would be so bad at using himself.

I really couldn't think of any other way, so I nodded to the fat man and said, "Okay, then let's go and prepare, and go to No. 88 early tomorrow morning!" ”

The fat man asked me, "What are you going to prepare?" ”

"Prepare the story!" I gave him a blank look: "People are not stupid, this ancient bracelet is just a thing dug up from the mass graves in the village, if you don't make up a story of nonsense, who wants to take a second look?" ”

The fat man patted me and said: "Lao Chen, don't use your brains, Ren No. 88 can be made into one of the largest wet goods stores in the capital, that is not by people to brag about it, our little trick, people must be broken at a glance, besides, the color of our ancient bracelet is so beautiful, people who know the goods can see it at a glance, let's not keep an eye on it." ”

I looked at the fat man unexpectedly: "You fucking are still not the fat man Wang that Lao Tzu knows, you used to sell these things, and that time it wasn't made up, the story is wonderful, you can write several supernatural books, why did you tell the truth this time?" ”

The fat man smiled and said, "Lao Chen, this is the growth space of your little comrade!" I call it marketing words, not to pay attention to the eyes, see people talk about people, see ghosts and talk nonsense, can be blinded by the past, it is better to tell the truth directly when you can't get over. ”

Early the next morning, the two of us simply cleaned up and walked to the glass factory.

It's been almost a month since I left the capital last time, and then I entered the glass factory, and the familiar smell made me energetic again, and the fat man I looked energetic and laughed at me: "You fucking are a life of selling antiques, you look at your appearance, it's like a dog smelling shit, and it's all about it." ”

I met a lot of acquaintances along the way, and they all greeted each other, inquired if there were any good goods in hand, and everyone complained that business was getting harder and harder as before.

No one who does antiques will take this kind of thing seriously, they are poor on the surface, and they don't know how many suites there are in the capital behind their backs.

My store is in the innermost, I haven't seen it for so many days, and I do think a little bit, but I don't have the time to look at it at this time, so I will talk about the goods in my hand first.

The difference between this shop and the ordinary shop is that everyone can see it, the aura is completely different, and the other shops are antique, but the shop at No. 88 is weird, but there is a sense of mystery, which makes people want to go in to see.

The fat man smashed his mouth and said: "What kind of aesthetics is this fucking boss, this decoration has offended the decoration master, right?" ”

I told him not to talk nonsense, and the two of them pushed the door in.

As soon as I pushed the door, I felt a chill coming, and the fat man shivered and muttered in a low voice: "Hey, it's a little interesting, this temperature is just right for raising ghosts." ”

After pushing the door in, it was not the living room, but a place about five or six meters like an exhibition stand, and the glass cabinets on both sides were full of all kinds of wet goods. ”

Walking through this distance, the front is a place similar to the hotel front desk, there is a little girl who is looking down to play with her mobile phone, she didn't pay attention to the two of us, the fat man was not satisfied, deliberately cleared his throat, didn't think that the little girl still didn't look up, just cared about playing the glory of the king on the mobile phone.

This made us very faceless, and the fat man said: "Big sister, you are doing a big business, and we can't look down on small customers like us?" ”

I asked him not to talk nonsense, after all, we were begging someone to buy something this time, not someone else begging me.

The girl was only twenty-five or sixteen years old, with short hair, and she was very delicate, and she didn't know how she came to work in this shop.

After the fat man finished speaking, she didn't raise her head and said to us, "What's the matter with the two of you?" ”

"Exploring the water."

Exploring water is a black word in the antique industry, especially for people who do wet goods trading, the seller is called Tanshui, and the buyer is called Xunlong, which together is to explore the water and find the dragon, it is said that because the wet goods are often of unknown origin, or there is some blood sticking on them, for fear of being targeted by the police, there is such a black word, and the fat man does not know where to learn it.

The girl played with her mobile phone and said, "Qing Shui Wulong, you can explore elsewhere." ”

The fat man raised his eyebrows: "Little girl, you haven't seen it yet, just drive people away, it's not appropriate, right?" ”

I also feel that this little girl at the front desk, where did she come from so capable, she didn't look at anything and said it was worthless, I guess it was a high vigilance to play wet goods, thinking that the police were investigating the store.

The girl looked up at us for the first time, she looked young, but there was a different age in her eyes, she glanced at me and the fat man, and then looked at the box in our arms and said, "Look at the goods." ”

The fat man hurriedly hugged the box: "What goods are you looking at at the front desk, and ask you to order some water." ”

Because of the particularity of wet goods, the master is required to look at the goods more deeply than the master of dry goods, and it can be said that in the entire capital, there are no more than 500 people who can be called a little water.

The girl saw that the fat man had no good words, so she simply lowered her head again: "Don't send it." ”

"Hey, you big girl." The fat man lost his temper, so I quickly stopped him and whispered: "This is No. 88, maybe people have their own rules, let her take a look, take a look at it and not lose a piece of meat." ”

The fat man slowed down, opened the lid of the box, and sent the box to the girl: "Look." ”

The fat man and I thought that she had to take the box anyway, and then check it with all kinds of messy instruments, at least use a magnifying glass to see, and then say whether to give some water, but I didn't expect the girl to even raise her head, only glanced at it with her eyes, and shouted at the back room: "Some water, left branch, side miscellaneous!" ”

The fat man and I were confused, this must be black talk, but as for what it means, we really don't know, this should be her explaining something to some water, but it's not good for us to understand.

"Come in, people are inside." The girl continued to play with her phone and said to the two of us.

The fat man took back the box angrily and entered the back room with me, and the decoration of ordinary antique shops is different, this is not a classical decoration, but a dark gray color, a modern industrial style, forced to be high, but no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a shop doing antique business.

"You two may be seated." A tall, thin man in a suit and glasses came out of a small room, put us on the main seat, made tea, and said, "Two of you exploring the water? ”

The fat man didn't bother with it, just opened the box, put it on the table and said, "Just this thing, you can take a look." ”

The man took out his gloves, gently took the bracelet in his hand and looked at it for a while, and said, "The condition is good, what price do you two want?" ”

I wanted to quote a price of 1.2 or 300 million, and it would be good to bargain later, but the fat man preempted me: "Two million, and I have to get cash." ”

I almost squirted out a sip of tea, this bastard, what I said last night was all bullshit, what I didn't pay attention to, I left my eyes on the quotation for a long time, not to mention the price of two million, that is, the cash alone, it will take a while for people to prepare, which one will have nothing to do in the shop to put so much cash in the shop.

The man was obviously a little embarrassed, and smiled at me and said, "You two wait a minute, I'll ask the boss." ”

After ordering water and leaving, I complained to the fat man: "You don't fucking discuss with Lao Tzu in advance, two million, and cash, and people only receive the goods when their brains are in water." ”

The fat man said: "You know an egg, for them, money is not money, things are good, you can rest assured, you can't be wrong!" ”

I thought that ordering water was just to go out to smoke a cigarette, ink for a while, and then come back to tell us that the boss disagreed and something like that to send us away, after all, this is also a consistent routine, but I didn't expect him to come back in less than a minute, sat down and said with a smile: "Two, our boss received two million cash in something, and it will be delivered in an hour." ”

The fat man and I froze, suspecting that we had heard it wrong, two million, cash, and it will arrive in an hour?

Is this the sale of goods?

Seeing that the two of us were in a daze, he ordered water and said, "However, our boss has one condition." ”
