"Hey, you haven't gotten up yet, don't you know there's a big business today?"

Because a very valuable thing will be purchased in the shop today, the fat man also ran into my room excitedly early in the morning to wake me up.

The fat man's natal name is Yan Xu, because he is more than 1.7 meters tall and weighs more than 200, so people in the industry also secretly call him Yan Fatzi in private, but on the bright side, he still has to call him Brother Xu. Because in the industry, he is also considered to be the number one person, and in recent years, he has established his status because of a lot of good things.

Speaking of which, I believe you all know what our profession is. That's right, the good thing to say is what ordinary people call antique shops, and the hard ones to say are cultural dealers. But in this regard, the fat man and I said that it is nothing, as long as we can make money, what is not to get?

In fact, my life experience is closely related to the profession I am engaged in now, my family has been a tomb robber since my grandfather, in the words of the industry, is a thorough native master, because of the famine in the early years, so my grandfather had to engage in this industry, and later because he found a few valuable treasures, this made a fortune, but from my father's generation, it began to gradually decline, and to my generation, my father's idea is to let me completely get rid of, speaking of, It's kind of ironic that I'm in the industry I'm doing now.

"I'm grass, it's only a little bit of TMD!" The biggest problem with me is that I have the gas to get up, and the fat man has been with me for so long, and he also knows that I have this problem, but even if he knows that he still comes to bother me, obviously this thing today should be a good thing.

Our shop is at the very end of Chinatown, which is said to be a shop, but it is actually a big shop, and because we are big men, we don't have time to clean, so it has always been a representative of dirty mess. And why is our store at the very end? Because this profession is not something that everyone can do, such transactions are generally not visible, so such transactions can only be carried out in the safest places.

Since our rest place is in the store, I opened the door after a brief tidying up. The fat man is still busy upstairs at this time, such abnormal behavior makes me feel quite weird, this fat man usually even has to breathe, why is he so diligent today?

I scratched my head, then looked at the fat man through the corner of the stairs and said loudly: "I said fatty, if you do this every day, then the hundreds of pounds of fat on your body will come down all at once!" ”

When the fat man heard my voice, the movements in his hand also paused slightly, turned his head and said: "I said Wei Qi, you kid really doesn't have a conscience when he speaks, the most important thing about doing business is the environment, what is your fat grandfather and I are so busy with today, isn't it just to create a good environment for the next business?" ”

Speaking of this, the fat man suddenly threw down the mop in his hand, hurriedly ran downstairs to me, and then hugged me and whispered: "Let me tell you, if this business is completed today, our brother will not have to open it again in at least three years!" ”

I opened my mouth, apparently startled by the fat man's words: "Three, three years." I said fatty, you're not kidding, are you? ”

"How can this be a joke?" The fat man pouted, then looked at the endless crowd outside the door, pulled me to a corner and said cautiously: "Let me tell you, today's thing, that is a strange treasure, not to mention here, even if it is in China, it has never appeared, when the time comes, we will get this thing in our hands and sell it at a high price, this is not..."

"Excuse me, is Mr. Wei Qi in this place?"

Just as the fat man and I were giggling at each other, the wind chimes rang at the door, and then a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes came in. This man looks to be in his forties, but he does not look old at all, and he also exudes a different temperament, according to the fat man's words, this type of person is the legendary successful person.

Before I could speak, the fat man rushed forward and held the middle-aged man's hand and said with a smile: "That's right, Mr. Wei Qi is here, you are Mr. Chen, right?" ”

I glanced at the fat man, and dared to love that this fat man and this person were meeting for the first time, and they were still confident about this matter. And every time I want to take over something, the fat man is outside in my name, in fact, every time I do what he says. I know that I think I'm the boss and the fat man is an employee, but only I know that this identity is completely reversed.

That Mr. Chen also shook the fat man's hand politely, then put his eyes on me, and then said: "Presumably this is Mr. Wei Qi, I didn't expect you to be so young!" ”

I looked around, but I didn't appreciate his ability to see people, there were two people in this room, me and the fat man, since the fat man said that he was not Wei Qi just now, and said that Wei Qi was here, I think a normal person knows who I am, right? But the fat man smiled at his grandson and said: "Oh, Mr. Chen is really discerning, I can see at a glance that this is Mr. Wei Qi, haha!" ”

In his words, if you want to make a successful business, the most important thing is to establish friendship with each other first, which is commonly known as 'set almost', only in this way, in the end, you can maximize your profits, this is a science!

That Mr. Chen also laughed after listening to the fat man's words, obviously he liked the feeling of others complimenting him, and there were many ways to deal with a fat man like this. The middle-aged man sat on the sofa, but instead of looking at me, he kept staying on the fat man's body, and the two looked like a pair of old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, obviously forgetting that I was the protagonist today.

"By the way, Mr. Yan, you've heard about my side too, right?"

The fat man poured a cup of tea and handed it over, then smiled: "Yes, I've heard about it, but I don't know if this thing can let me see it first?" ”

Mr. Chen seemed to be a cheerful person, and without saying a word, he took out something from the black bag in his hand and put it in front of the fat man, and there was still some pleading in his tone: "Mr. Yan, I heard that you are more accurate than some experts in this area, can you help me see what the origin of this thing is?" ”

The fat man picked up the box in front of him, opened the lid on it, and something similar to a sculpture appeared in front of him. To be honest, I've been in business for so long, and although I'm not as good as a fat man, I'm still a little discerning. But this thing is really unprecedented, and it is indeed like what the fat man said before, even if this thing is in China, it has never appeared.

The fat man took out a magnifying glass and looked at it carefully for a long time, the sculpture said it was a horse but it still didn't look like it, and it was still a little different if it wasn't a deer. Anyway, something comes to mind in my head, but compared to the sculpture in my hand, it is still a little different.

I quietly walked over to the fat man's side, leaned on his ear, and whispered in a voice that only the two of us could hear, "Fatty, this can't be four, right?" ”

The fat man put down the magnifying glass in his hand, thought for a while, and was about to speak, but he shook his head again, and then smiled at Mr. Chen beside him: "That, Mr. Chen, I still have something, you sit slowly first, and we will come out in a while." After saying that, the fat man dragged me upstairs, and before leaving, he took a few more glances at the sculpture.

I was also a little surprised to look at the fat man's expression, I had never seen him have such an expression since I knew him until now. I looked downstairs and asked, "Fatty, what's the situation, can you tell what this thing is?" ”

The fat man shook his head, and then replied with some uncertainty: "I can't see this thing for the time being, but this thing seems to be somewhat similar to what I have heard others say before, and the value of this thing is by no means what we estimated before, and it is worth a lot of money!" ”
