Chapter 1 Alternative Collectors
"Buzz, buzz!"
With the sound of a mobile phone vibrating, the young man who was sleeping on the bed immediately stretched out his hand and touched around, and soon found his mobile phone next to the pillow, and clicked on it without opening his eyes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hello?"
"Hey, hello, is it Lu Li, Mr. Lu? I'm Xiao Zhang, the delivery man of the courier company, your things have arrived, can you come out and sign for it now?"
Hearing the word express, the young man known as Lu Li immediately came to his senses, quickly put on his glasses and began to put on his pants, and said into the phone: "Please wait a few minutes, I will open the door immediately." ”
With that, he hung up the phone, put on a set of home casual clothes on his body in just two or three minutes, and went straight through the living room to open the door of the house.
I saw a courier boy in an orange T-shirt holding a rectangular package that was two meters high and seventy centimeters wide panting, and it seemed that carrying this thing up to the seventh floor made him tired.
Seeing someone come out, the little brother hurriedly took out the courier bill and pen that had been prepared: "Mr. Lu, please sign." ”
Lu Li didn't say a word, swiped and signed his name, and then couldn't wait to start unpacking.
His impatient action obviously aroused the interest of the courier, so he did not leave immediately after getting the signature, but asked very curiously: "Big brother, what is in your package?" When I carried it, I felt that there were at least more than 100 catties, fortunately there was an elevator, otherwise I would not be able to carry it alone. ”
A door with a bronze main structure. Lu Li replied succinctly.
As he spoke, he finally tore open the wrapping paper completely, revealing a large glittering metallic door frame, as he had just said, it was a bronze gate, and all kinds of strange patterns were carved around the door, some were plants, some were animals, and they all had one thing in common, that is, there was absolutely no in reality.
I don't know if it's because of poor storage or because it's too old, this bronze gate is covered with green patina, which looks quite quaint.
Of course, considering the shape, as well as the strange flora and fauna, the door is clearly European, especially the long string of indistinct letters printed directly below the door, which confirms this from the side.
After all the wrapping paper was torn off, the courier brother couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh my God......! Is this an antique?"
The thought of his violent loading and unloading along the way, he couldn't help but shudder all over his body, once it was really an antique, he couldn't afford to lose if he sold it.
Glancing at the curled corner of the door, Lu Li glanced at the other party with a smile: "Don't worry, this shouldn't be an antique, it's just a handicraft." ”
"Whew...... I'm scared to death......"
Hearing that it was not an antique, the courier brother instantly breathed a sigh of relief, and even the dialect of his hometown came out.
After settling down a little, he continued to ask: "Big brother, what's the use of you buying this door?
"No, it's for collection. After saying this, Lu Li lifted the bronze door with all his strength and moved it into the house, ignoring the stunned courier behind him.
After half a minute, the curious courier brother came back to his senses and said to himself: "My mother, this year, some people collect stamps, some people collect famous cars, some people collect antique calligraphy and paintings, some people collect celebrity signatures, and for the first time I heard that someone collects gates." Rich people are so good at playing now?"
Hearing such a classic complaint, Lu Li shook his head with a smile, quickly put the bronze gate in another empty room, took out a brush and tools, and began to carefully clean the stains and patina on it.
In fact, he was just a middleman, and there were other people who really collected the gates.
After more than an hour of busyness, the originally dirty bronze door finally took on a new look, and even the corners that were knocked out of shape were reshaped with a hammer, and there was no trace of damage.
After checking it three times, Lu Li picked up his mobile phone and took more than a dozen photos in one go, sent them directly to a mailbox through the Internet, and then clicked on the address book and dialed a phone named in English.
"Toot, beet, ......"
After a few busy sounds, a deep man's voice soon appeared on the other end: "Hello?"
"Hello, is Mr. Hans here? I just received a very beautiful bronze door here, and I would like to ask him if he is interested in collecting it, and the photo has been sent to his mailbox. Lu Li quickly explained in English.
Since he met this slightly eccentric American old man three years ago, he has sold more than a dozen doors with different characteristics, and he has earned millions of yuan just from the price difference, so he has long been familiar with the road.
The person on the other end of the phone was obviously silent for a few seconds, and then he spoke: "You must be Mr. Lu, right? I'm sorry, Mr. Hans passed away in the early hours of yesterday morning, and I'm afraid he won't be able to continue his collection." ”
"What? passed away?!" Lu Li was so frightened by the news that he almost threw the phone in his hand.
You must know that he spent 300,000 yuan to acquire this bronze gate, and if he loses the buyer, then he will completely smash it in his own hands.
After all, the gate is not like other antique calligraphy and paintings, there are a large number of people vying for the collection, and one million people may not be able to find one willing to collect the gate.
"Yes, dying of a heart attack has unfortunately caused you a certain amount of financial loss and distress. After saying this, the phone was hung up directly.
Listening to the beeping sound coming from the microphone, Lu Li's face became extremely ugly, and he raised his fist and smashed it against the bronze gate, as if to vent his inner depression.
However, he obviously didn't notice that there was a sharp protrusion on the side of the door, which instantly cut a hole in his arm, and blood slowly flowed down the groove into the dragon's mouth on the handle.
"Damn! I thought that receiving this door was good luck and I could make another profit, but who would have thought that it was bad luck, not only ruined the wealth, but also saw blood! Unlucky! What a bad luck!"
Lu Li gritted his teeth and complained, while quickly picking up a towel to try to stop the bleeding, fortunately, the mouth was very shallow, just scratching the skin, otherwise he might have to go to the hospital for two stitches.
Just as he was busy looking for bandages to bandage his wounds, more and more blood was devouring from the dragon's mouth, and the two eyes suddenly burst into a dazzling bright light, and the lines around the door frame kept flickering, and finally made a slight clicking sound.
The door slowly opened by itself, and a strange and cold wind blew in from the other end of the door, which immediately made Lu Li shiver involuntarily......
