&nb permanent URL, please keep it in mind!
The time to prepare for the transaction with the Hong Kong businessman was two days later, and the weight of a bronze tripod was seven or eight hundred catties, not to mention that it was a genuine product, even if it was a fake, the people who dared to take over this thing could not count five people on the entire road. (γ It can be said that large bronzes are basically priceless in the antique world, and this thing is said to be a top national treasure at best, and it is a job to lose its head when it is small.
Chaozi is actually a cultural relic, but the most valuable thing about bronze is to look at the inscription inside, as a noble patent, each large tripod has its own unique story behind it, and the record of these stories is the inscription engraved in it. One more word, the value of this tripod can be doubled. Chaozi's colleague was originally He Lao's proud protΓ©gΓ©, and his attainments in ancient Chinese characters were very profound, and he carved a string of fourteen-character oracle bone inscriptions, saying that King Mu's beauty Sheng Ji died on the way and returned to the funeral.
The agreed date was getting closer and closer, and the deal certainly couldn't be in the Cha family compound, and the joint was in an abandoned kindergarten in the town, which had been leased to a carpentry factory and was now out of service.
These days, Cha Wenbin is more studying his Taoism, and he doesn't interfere in the lives of these people, so he doesn't notice anything unusual at all. The Hong Kong businessman arrived as promised, and when Chaozi and Zhuo Xiong carried the big guy out of the trunk, his eyes were going to turn green.
The time of the transaction was naturally at night, and Chaozi used several large flower skin plastic bags to cover it, revealing only three legs. Four or five people came from the other side, the Hong Kong businessman was about 50 years old, and there was a 17 or 8-year-old girl and two men in suits, all wearing sunglasses at night.
is somewhat similar to the gangster delivery scene in the movie, Chaozi lifted the plastic bag and made a gesture of please with the other party, the Hong Kong businessman nodded at the girl, and the girl stepped forward to see the goods.
Chaozi thought to himself, you get a yellow-haired girl to inspect the goods, so that I am blind and find someone to get such a delicate fake, the things from the blacksmith shop on East Street are enough to fool you, and his originally nervous heart was also put down, so he joked to the Hong Kong businessman: "Are your two subordinates pulling erhu?" β
The Hong Kong businessman took out a box of flat-shelled 35 brand cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and put it in his mouth, and a man in a suit next to him immediately lit it for him, he took a puff and spit out a circle of cigarettes before replying: "Boss He, you are so funny, we are businessmen." β
"Pretend!" Chaozi scolded viciously in his heart, unhappy in his heart, and naturally his mouth would not be clean: "Oh, businessman, I thought it was a street singer, and they all looked like a blind man A Bing." β
"Ahem......" The Hong Kong businessman choked on two puffs of cigarettes in a row because of his words, and the two men in suits also saw that the kid was laughing at himself, mixed on this road, nothing is more important than face. Without waiting for his boss to speak, one of them immediately walked up and stretched out his big hand to grab the collar of Chaozi's clothes. Before the hand was caught, he heard the man's "ouch" cry, it turned out that Chaozi kicked on the person's leather shoe first, and it was strong, and it was estimated that a toenail was going to be scrapped.
"You, you said what kind of sunglasses you wear at night, you can't see the way clearly when you walk, hey......" This cool thing is called a happy one, and one person saw that his companion was injured, so he immediately wanted to go up to help, and he didn't want the girl to speak at this time: "Boss He, you can make a price for this thing." β
Chaozi pretended to cover his mouth with his hand and coughed, thinking: I can't be cheap for you today.
"Mu Tianzi's things, the era of the Western Zhou, I think it can be worth two million."
The Hong Kong businessman's eyes rolled and he pulled the girl aside and whispered, nodding and shaking his head. Seeing this, Zhuo Xiong gently kicked Chaozi's foot and said, "You're too dark." β
Chaozi glared at him angrily and said, "Don't talk nonsense! β
After a while, the girl walked over with a smile and said to Chaozi: "The price is fair, two million is two million." β
"Wait, I haven't finished my sentence yet, the rule on this road is to buy and leave, as long as this goods go out of me, it has nothing to do with me. It has nothing to do with me if you carry it away yourself, whether you are caught by the strips or planted on the road. β
"Of course!" With that, the girl walked into the imported Mercedes-Benz they were driving, and soon, two travel bags were taken out and placed in front of Chaozi.
With a "bang", the girl opened the zipper, and in the moonlight, there were bundles of hundred-dollar bills in the travel bag. Chaozi gasped, and only sighed in his heart: I am a mother, so much money! He originally quoted two million, that is, to raise the price, and he was satisfied if he could knock the other party three or five hundred thousand, and he didn't want the other party to have no counteroffer, or cash. Although there were a lot of rich people in those days, this amount of money could be called a huge amount of money in any place.
Chaozi's eyes were about to be dazzled, and Zhuo Xiong took the opportunity to pull him back and whispered: "Are you crazy, if they find out at that time, something will happen!" β
"You know a ball, antiques are a hammer deal, and you have to carry it yourself, this is the rule! Besides, those who can eat this product will definitely not be ordinary people, and they understand this risk better than us. β
It's being discussed here, and it's muttering over there.
"Susu, didn't look away." The Hong Kong businessman's eyes were fixed on the bronze tripod, and from time to time he glanced at the two bags of cash on the ground.
The girl laughed like a string of silver bells, "Giggles, Uncle Chang, when will I look at it?" β
The Hong Kong businessman took out a piece of brocade from his arms, gently wiped it on his forehead, and said, "That's good, that's good!" β
A big hand and a shriveled little hand shook together, and the deal was done, and Chaozi slapped the Hong Kong businessman on the shoulder and said, "There will be a period later!" β
Chaozi hurriedly turned around and picked up two bags of money and was about to get into the car, just starting, Uncle Chang trotted over and said, "Hey, can Boss He help in the next favor?" β
Chaozi showed half of his head and asked angrily, "What's the matter?" β
Uncle Chang rubbed his finger and pointed at the bronze tripod and said, "That thing is too heavy, can you help lift it?" β
Chaozi didn't want to stay for more than a minute, he was a thief, and it was good to slip away a minute earlier, so he immediately pretended to be impatient and said, "I don't do manual work." After speaking, he threw out a hemp rope from the window and said: "Find two sticks on the ground and put them on, this rope is said to be the hemp left over from Liu Bei's straw sandals, antiques, I will give it to you!" β
With a beautiful reversing and a throttle hula, Santana's unique lattice taillights slowly disappear into the night sky.
The Hong Kong businessman took the hemp rope and scolded: "Mainland boy with an oily tone, when my Uncle Chang has never come out to mix, Liu Bei uses straw, you are hemp!" "You two, carry it up!" "Be careful, this thing is very valuable!" "Slow down, slow down, it's stupid!"
In the night, a black Mercedes-Benz and a truck left Wulipu one after the other.
In the Mercedes-Benz car, Uncle Chang on the co-pilot took out a delicate mobile phone: "Hey, boss, the goods are done, see you at the dock!" β
Hanging up the phone, Uncle Chang turned his head and asked the girl who was driving: "Susu, if that mainland boy doesn't answer the first half, how much is that goods worth?" β
The girl's fingers tapped lightly on the steering wheel, and her long eyelashes blinked: "It can be multiplied tenfold, but his craftsmanship is not good, and it will not be so badly damaged." β
Uncle Chang leaned his head on the chair, and for a long time popped out an idiom: "Draw a snake to add to it!" β
One evening a week later, in the courtyard of the Cha family, Chaozi was drinking a little wine with Zhuo Xiong Dashan, and Cha Wenbin arranged tools in the courtyard to collect the dew of the next day, which was collected for the three-legged toad to bathe.
"Knock, knock, knock" Someone knocked on the door outside, this point, Cha Wenbin thought that someone from the village was looking for him, opened the door, and there was a girl with a delicate face standing outside the door, who was smiling at him, and looked closely, that person was a little similar to Yuan Min. There was also a middle-aged man beside her, wearing a black tweed hat on his head, a gray and white plaid coat, and spotlessly polished leather shoes.
The girl spoke first: "Hello, may I ask, does Mr. He Yichao live here?" β
"Who are you?"
The girl smiled and said, "We had a deal with him before, and now we have some questions for him. β
Cha Wenbin didn't ask any more questions, opened the door and said, "Come in." β
As soon as the middle-aged man entered the door, he rushed to the house excitedly, shouting as he ran: "Decrepit boy, you come out for me!" β
Chaozi was drinking, and when he raised his eyes, he happened to see Uncle Chang outside, and a mouthful of wine sprayed on Dashan's face. He secretly said in his heart: It's not good, isn't it that the old boy was found to be a fake when he shipped it. But soon he calmed down again, what if it was a fake, there have been rules in the antique industry since ancient times, and you can only blame your eyes when you buy fakes.
He pretended to be calm and asked, "Yo, Uncle Chang, what's wrong?" β
"You wretched boy, why are you so vicious, do you want to kill us?" When he said this, Uncle Chang's eyes could burst into a murderous light, and he grabbed Chaozi's clothes as soon as he grabbed them.
"Hey, you let go, how can I hurt you?"
The girl came in and quickly pulled away Uncle Chang's hand, and said in a reproachful tone: "Don't be like this, if you have something to say." β
Cha Wenbin also came in from outside at this time, and when he saw the atmosphere, he immediately asked with a gloomy face, "What's the matter?" β
Chaozi was silent for a moment, and the Hong Kong businessman estimated that Cha Wenbin was the master here, and immediately grabbed his clothes and shouted: "Do you mainlanders want to make money and kill yourself, play with me, the money is not enough, what is the reason for giving us Gu!" I'm here today to ask for an explanation! β
Cha Wenbin glared at Chaozi who wanted to come up and do it, he didn't get angry, and let Uncle Chang grab his clothes, "Dashan, go out and close the door!" Then, he glanced at Zhuo Xiong and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?" β
"Me." Zhuo Xiong glanced at Chaozi, the kid looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, he sighed and said, "Hey, just say it." Then, he told the truth as it was, roughly saying that Chaozi had made a fake and fooled Hong Kong businessmen.
"Take out the money and give it back." Cha Wenbin's words were not negotiable.
Chaozi had no way to take Cha Wenbin, and he didn't dare to be disobedient, so he had to stupidly prepare to go back to the house to get the bag, but the girl said: "Slow! Then he looked at Cha Wenbin again, and said up and down: "You are Cha Wenbin Cha Taoist." β
Cha Wenbin nodded and said, "It's me." β
After being confirmed, Uncle Chang was even more embarrassed, and grabbed Cha Wenbin's clothes tighter: "Hmph, you decrepit boy make a mage lower his head to pit us!" β
"Uncle Chang, will you let go first?" The girl's words were really useful, and the Hong Kong businessman let go of his hand a little reluctantly, and the girl took out a hemp rope from the bag she was carrying and said, "Your friend and I made a deal a while ago, but it seems that someone has taken care of us. β
Chaozi smiled coldly and said, "Look away by yourself, and find the door now?" Don't know the rules or can't afford to play? β
"No, Mr. He misunderstood, there is no problem with the goods you provided, and the first half of the old ones can be fake. Those two feet were originally worth two million each, but you added a body and licked an extra leg, and I gave you a discount. β
When Chaozi heard this, he could be described as stunned: "What do you mean? β
"I mean the goods are not a problem, but we had a problem on the way back, and the truck overturned on the road, and our two partners did not survive; Changed to a car and continued to transport, and the accident occurred again on the way. After speaking, she glanced at Cha Wenbin, and from her eyes, Cha Wenbin read the sophistication that did not belong to her age: "There were people who died on this bundle of linen, and those two sticks were also used to carry the coffin, and these things were all lowered by people, that is, dirty things, four lives." β
Cha Wenbin picked up the hemp rope and asked Chaozi, "Where did it come from?" β
He honestly confessed: "The village head picked it up." β
"Where's the stick?"
"Please wait." The girl went out for a while and then folded back, in her hand were two wooden sticks the thickness of the bowl, the outer skin had been peeled off, and the two ends were still pasted with weathered red paper, she put the things on the ground and said: "This was picked up from the place where the transaction was made that day, after the accident, we found a master, and the person said that it was these two things, and he couldn't untie them, but said that Mr. Cha you can break it." We originally planned to come to Mr. He to take us to you, but we didn't want you to live together. β
Cha Wenbin picked up these two wooden sticks, and remembered an incident a long time ago with a thought:
