Chapter Seventy-Four
Gao Chao and the fat man studied the rubbings of the bronze drum, but they looked at it and saw it until the second half of the night, and neither of them saw anything, except for the inscriptions of Yin Shang "Yinshan Great Witch Elephant", it was completely some seemingly casual lines.
Although those lines, some look like mountains and rivers, some look like lakes, and some even look like a certain route, but when they appear together on this rubbing, they are completely chaotic, mountains and rivers cannot be a section, and lakes cannot run to the sky, and those stripes that seem to be routes are completely in circles, it seems that Wang Lianba is right, even if the ornaments on it are all information, but no one can understand it.
The rubbing was placed on the coffee table in front of the sofa, the fat man leaned on the sofa, I don't know when he had fallen asleep, Gao Chao was alone, standing at the window smoking, he looked at the moon outside the window, he had a lot of thoughts, he found that all things seemed to have found himself in one go, the pressure he is bearing now, I am afraid that he has never been, among these pressures, there are life, career, and an intangible.
The invisible pressure, Gao Chao can't see, he can't touch it, he can only feel it now, he took a deep breath of cigarette, still looking out the window, he feels that maybe that invisible pressure will soon become a reality.
- At dawn, Gao Chao and the fat man were still lying on the sofa, and it was not until the nurse came in to make rounds that the two of them were woken up.
The fat man stretched his waist, picked up the bronze drum on the coffee table, and said helplessly: "I said little copper drum, little copper drum, why are you like a woman?" Looking at the flowers in the fog, I look at you and love and hate, but I can't see anything! ”
Gao Chao sat on the side, and was amused by the fat man: "Stop talking nonsense, we still have things to do today." ”
The fat man was stunned and said, "Lao Gao, what's the matter?" ”
Gao Chao said: "Didn't that Wang Lianba say that this bronze drum is not valuable?" He didn't seem to be lying, but I always felt that there was something wrong with him, so even if he said that there was a big rock on the South Mountain, I had to touch it. ”
The fat man nodded and said, "Yes, you can't let that old Wang Ba lead the nose, so let's go to my dad in a while, and ask my dad to introduce a few old customers who receive the goods, those people are reliable, and the price they call out is also reliable." ”
Gao Chao agreed: "Okay, just do it, if the thing is valuable, we don't need to toss it anymore." ”
In this way, the two of them arranged the affairs of the whole world, and they didn't even eat breakfast, so they went directly to the fat man's house.
Although the fat man's father is not young, he is almost a hundred, but his body is still good, and his brain is still flexible, he first looked at the bronze drum, but he didn't say why, just because the fat man's father has never seen this kind of thing, so there is no way, so he found three or four old customers of the Golden Pavilion, and said that if he is free, he will come to the house today, take a look at things, and come over to "** head".
The so-called ** head is still a saying in the old days, very similar to the current auction, but it is not exactly the same, because the ** head is very secretive, to put it bluntly, things can not see the light, so only notify some reliable experts to come and see things, and wait until they have finished reading the goods together, and will openly bid for the price.
Those old customers, as soon as they heard that it was "Shovel Zhao" that there was something at home, they must have rushed to come, and they were afraid that they would be robbed of their lottery heads if they were late, so before half an hour, those individuals came to the fat man's house almost at the same time.
The fat man's family has always lived in a bungalow compound, and the living room is quite spacious, and the big guys all sit down in the living room, and pass the bronze drum one by one.
It's just because after all, it's something introduced by "Shovel Zhao", so everyone doesn't dare to slack off, at the moment they are all very careful, and some people even look at it with a magnifying glass, and when they finish reading it one by one, it's almost noon.
According to the rules, since everyone is optimistic about things, they have to start bidding, generally whoever wants this thing the most, must be who comes first, but at this time, no one spoke, and the big guys were stunned, as if there was no such thing.
The fat man was naturally anxious, for so many years, he had never seen such a situation, in his own home, no one spoke, and all remained silent.
So the fat man opened his mouth and scolded, and if he had anything to say, he quickly said it directly, don't like holding a fart.
Those old customers were really anxious when they saw the fat man, so you said it one by one.
It turned out that these old customers saw that this bronze drum was indeed a big opening in the Dai Dynasty, and they knew that it was a thing from the Yin Shang period, but the problem is that this kind of drum has never been seen on the market, to put it bluntly, they are also the first time to see this kind of thing, so everyone has no price to refer to, plus even if you buy it, no one wants this thing, and if you say that it is worth eight thousand, it will be the end, so everyone does not dare to ask for the price at the moment, for fear of lowering the price and offending the owner.
After listening to the explanation, the fat man was naturally angry, and his temper suddenly exploded, so he scolded these old customers and ran away.
Gao Chao has always been on the side, naturally he saw the whole process, but at this moment he had to sigh, and said in his heart that Wang Lianba was really true, it seems that this bronze drum is really an unpopular among the unpopular.
The fat man was also helpless, threw a cigarette to Gao Chao, and the two of them lit the cigarette and took a hard puff.
The fat man sighed, shook his head and said: "It's really fucking fun, such a thing, no one is proud, Lao Gao, do you think we really misunderstood that old Wang Ba, although the old Jing Youzi has a bad face, but he is honest, and he really didn't lie to us." ”
Gao Chao looked at the cigarette in his hand and said: "Although that Wang Lianba didn't lie, but everything he did, everything he said to us, as if he had been arranged in advance, he was obviously fully prepared, but we were made by this thing, it was really a little passive, you know, what does it mean to be passive, I was thinking, if we really do what he said, if we go to cooperate with him, then we will definitely always be in his control, and what the final result is, I really can't think of it now......"
The fat man nodded, obviously understanding Gao Chao's words, but he thought about it, and still said: "Old Gao, in fact, the conditions given by the old Wang Ba are really fucking tempting, to tell you the truth, from last night to now, I am still considering his proposal, that is a million, not a decimal, you think about it, in fact, we don't have to worry about anything, with the strength of the two of us, what else can he do to us?" Besides, I think that he is a money-greedy and womanizer, it's not a big deal, don't think of him so high-class! ”
Gao Chao took a puff of his cigarette and wondered: "Greedy for money and lustful? I know greedy for money, where does lust begin? ”
The fat man pouted and said: "Nonsense, there is a tea girl in that teahouse, or a little girl who hooks her soul, what do you say is the relationship between the two?" ”
Gao Chao thought about it, and said in his heart, why didn't he think about it in that direction? Could it be that I felt pretty good about myself before, and I always felt that the tea girl named Xiaocui had a little meaning to herself, it seemed that it was all peacocks who opened the screen and were amorous, and they must be the little secretary of the old Wang Ba.
Thinking of this, Gao Chao sighed and said: "Don't care if he's lustful or not, I think we have to think about this matter again, after all, we don't know this person yet, he is like suddenly coming out of the cracks in the ground, if you cooperate with him like this, the risk is still not small, maybe he will be sold, let's help others count the money." ”
The fat man held a cigarette, a little helpless, but he still nodded and said: "It's okay, anyway, we don't have a loss, the two stoves I got from him yesterday, I found someone to see it, that's right, open the door at a glance, absolutely real things, although it's not easy to shoot now, but the two of us put it in the hall one by one, and we can also be the treasure of the hall." ”
Gao Chao let out an absent-minded "um", and then smoked, obviously still thinking about Wang Lianba, but at this moment, the fat man's mobile phone rang.
The fat man took out his mobile phone and looked at it, muttering to himself: "Tangkou's phone, what's the matter with me at this time?" ”
