The two bought some roast duck, pig's head meat, peanuts and a bottle of liquor on the way, and went straight to Boss Zhu's residence.

Boss Zhu opened the security door, walked in first, and motioned for Qian Yongqiang to walk in slowly. This is the first time Qian Yongqiang has come to Boss Zhu's house, he just stepped into the door with his front feet, raised his eyes to look at the house, and was stunned: the whole room is neatly filled with wooden bookshelves, and the bookshelves are full of all kinds of collections, all about that era, all of which are the best in the collection, even the best. Boss Zhu took the almost everything to the store and sold it. The three-bedroom, one-living room, one-kitchen and one-bathroom house, except for the place to eat, drink and sleep, is full of collections.

"Brother Qian, what do you think of the things in my room?" Boss Zhu turned on the lights in the room, and his face was proud, "Look at my soldiers and horses, how majestic?!" ”

"This 。。。。。。 It's incredible. Lao Zhu, where did you get so many good things? Boss Zhu took Qian Yongqiang to each room to admire his collections, and from time to time found a few special objects to introduce Qian Yongqiang.

Following behind Boss Zhu, Qian Yongqiang showed envy on his face. I thought to myself: "If so many good things are sold on the market, I'm afraid there are no tens or millions of them that can't be taken down!" ”

"Where did you get it?" Boss Zhu was brought into deep contemplation by Qian Yongqiang's question, and for a long time, he sighed and said, "This is my hard work for more than 20 years, in the past 20 years, I have traveled all over the north and south of the motherland, inside and outside the Great Wall, and almost spent all my savings." It's no exaggeration to say that what you're seeing right in front of you is all I have for now! ”

Boss Zhu's eyes flashed with tears. These collections in front of him are expensive commodities for Qian Yongqiang, but for Boss Zhu, the meaning is different, this is the length and thickness of his life, there is his enthusiastic and unrestrained youth, there are his obsessive middle-aged years, and it is the crystallization of his more than 20 years of life. In Qian Yongqiang's eyes, Boss Zhu is premature, with deep wrinkles, gray hair, cloudy eyes, and a slightly rickety back, these should not be what he, a person in the prime of life, should have. But when he introduced his proud collection to Qian Yongqiang, the half-old man in front of him swept away the old spirit of Hengqiu, and was full of passion and heroism. Qian Yongqiang doesn't understand why Boss Zhu is like this now, maybe one day he will understand, maybe he will never understand.

"Brother Qian, don't look at it, if you look carefully at my collection here, you won't be able to finish it in three days and three nights. Let's go, set the table and drink. ”

When the wine was hot, Boss Zhu told Qian Yongqiang a lot about some of his experience and interesting things about receiving the goods, during which he inevitably warned Qian Yongqiang that there are too many fakes now, and he should be more careful when receiving the goods, carefully distinguish the true from the fake, and he will suffer losses and be fooled if he is not careful.

Qian Yongqiang said that I received the goods differently from you, you went to the market to buy goods at a high price, there are many fakes in the market, and there are also tricks to deceive people. I walked the streets and alleys, collected as scrap, I don't want the high price, no one can fool me.

"As far as I know, there are people in your circle who have partnered with the owner of the buying station to deceive you people who come to receive goods. The price is not too high, and when you see a huge profit in front of you, no one will be indifferent, and you will often be deceived. ”

Qian Yongqiang put down the wine glass, supported his cheek with one hand, and put on a deaf look, but he didn't think so.

"Do you know that there is an acquisition station in Qingshi Village, and the boss's surname is Gao?" Boss Zhu asked.

"I know about this, but I rarely go. I'm not very familiar with the boss, I heard people say that this boss Gao is a smiling tiger and ruthless! ”

"That's right, ruthless!" Boss Zhu nodded and said, "Five years ago, a Tibetan friend of mine, Xiao Zhou, bought a batch of propaganda posters at his house, more than 500 pieces, all of which were in good condition, with a price of 60,000 yuan, and finally 50,000 yuan. At that time, Xiao Zhou was very happy, and if these 500 posters were shot, they would definitely earn 180,000 yuan. I didn't expect to look at the connoisseurs, fake, all fake, new things and old ones. Xiao Zhou was stunned all of a sudden, lost a lot, and then slowly faded out of this business. It is said that Xiao Zhou has been in this circle for many years, and he should be able to distinguish between old and new things, but why did he become a high boss again?

Because Boss Gao not only produces fakes and cheats people, but also produces some good things most of the time, Xiao Zhou often begs for tricks from him and makes some money. This time, I saw so many good goods at once, I was excited, my eyes were not easy to use, my head was hot, and I added the words that were written on it with a brush and the inventory of a certain publishing house, but didn't I just walk away! ”

"When I have time, I will definitely meet this high boss. Let's see if I can 'eye' it too. "Qian Yongqiang has been working in this industry for three or four years, except for the loss when he first entered the industry, and then he didn't go to the big and small dang again, and his self-confidence and eyesight are okay.

"In our industry, 'eye-catching' is a relatively stumbling thing, and we generally don't want to talk about it. Even now, Xiao Zhou went to do housekeeping and cleaning with others, and he didn't say anything about it. I still heard Xiao Huang talk about it, and I only knew about it. Xiao Huang is the Huang Youcai who lives closer to you, and he is a big black one. You two should be familiar with each other, right? ”

Xiao Zhou, who went to work as a housekeeper, Qian Yongqiang didn't know. When Xiao Zhou faded out of this industry, Qian Yongqiang had not yet entered the industry. Huang Youcai he knew, and he picked up a big leak from him last time, but he wasn't very familiar with it.

"Xiao Zhou is a very good young man, and he has a good reputation in this industry, but it's a pity that 。。。。。。" For Xiao Zhou's withdrawal from this industry, Boss Zhu regretted it.

"Xiao Zhou didn't say anything about this, and the owner of the acquisition station naturally didn't say it, how did Huang Youcai know about it?" Qian Yongqiang asked puzzled.

"Huang Youcai has a good relationship with a worker in Boss Gao's family, this worker often secretly sells something to Huang Youcai behind Boss Gao's back, and Huang Youcai often invites this worker out for a drink. Xiao Zhou's incident was told to Huang Youcai by this worker at the wine table. Speaking of Huang Youcai, although he looks five big and three thick, he looks loyal and honest on the outside, but he is actually a ghost. Although the level is not very good, I have never suffered a loss when selling and buying goods. Boss Zhu shook his head, and then said, "Huang Youcai doesn't have any bad problems, he just likes to take advantage of a little advantage." This is very disliked. ”

Qian Yongqiang glanced at Boss Zhu, thinking that you were slaughtered by this guy.

The two chatted, and Qian Yongqiang told Boss Zhu about the last time he met two black-clothed people in the ghost market of Chaotian Palace and was almost forcibly sold.

Boss Zhu smiled disapprovingly: "Xiaoqian, you are nothing, although it is late at night, but after all, it is in the market, and they don't dare to do it when people come and go." I'll tell you something I've personally experienced, and when you listen to it, you'll feel that you're not at all a problem. Want to hear it? ”

"I want to hear it." Qian Yongqiang said in his heart, "You won't drink too much, use the strength of wine to brag to me."

"That time I received the goods, my old life was almost thrown outside! I'm going to tell you about it today, I hope it's also a warning to you. Boss Zhu took a sip of wine, then lit a cigarette, smoked leisurely, and solemnly talked about the most thrilling experience of his life.

It's another weekend late night, the moon is sparse and the breeze is light. Qian Yongqiang rode a tricycle carrying a few books, came to the ghost market of Chaotian Palace, found a lively place, and set up a stall. Because he was almost robbed by two men in black last time, he didn't dare to go to a secluded place with few people this time. Although I listened to Boss Zhu's experience of almost losing his life, I was not immersed in the scene and couldn't empathize. And this experience of his own, but he was really held to the waist with a knife, and when I think about it, I am terrified, and when I see someone in black approaching, I feel nervous for no reason.

However, Boss Zhu's risky experience also invisibly sounded a wake-up call for Qian Yongqiang - that is, to go to a stranger's house to receive goods, you must be more careful, if you go recklessly, you may be empty.

According to Boss Zhu's recollection, it was more than ten years ago. At that time, Boss Zhu was still searching the world for his favorite collections. On a very ordinary day, he was wandering around the Panjiayuan antique market in Beijing, and a thin young man accosted him. The two chatted for a long time, and they chatted quite speculatively. In the end, the young man pretended to be mysterious and told Boss Zhu that a friend of his had a lot of collections in his house that Boss Zhu particularly liked, and asked Boss Zhu if he was interested in going to his friend's house to see it. Of course, Boss Zhu agreed.

The young man took Boss Zhu to transfer several buses, and sat for a long time to "jump three times", and finally came to a small deserted village before it was dark.

The thin young man led the way in front, and Boss Zhu followed closely behind with a yellow satchel on his back. The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the place of life is unfamiliar, Boss Zhu is somewhat hairy in his heart, but he doesn't take it too seriously because of his height and strength. And the young man in front of him boasted about how rare and precious his friend's collection was. In the face of great temptation, people will be more or less dizzy and irrational.

The village is not big, but it is deserted. The young man took Boss Zhu around for a long time before entering a small dilapidated courtyard. After entering the courtyard, the young man motioned to Boss Zhu to go into a lighted room, and locked the door with his backhand, "saying that he was afraid that someone would come to disturb the business." Boss Zhu didn't care, pushed open the door and walked into the brightly lit room.

This is the only room in this courtyard that is lit. The room was lit with a candle, dimly lit, and unfurnished, not like it had been inhabited for a long time. There were two people squatting in the corner, one was chubby, looking about thirty years old; The other was an old man in his fifties. Although both of them looked at Boss Zhu with a smile on their faces, Boss Zhu could still feel the murderous aura of these two people.

"This Boss Zhu is a big boss, very generous, perennial acquisition of various collections, generous!" The thin young man introduced Boss Zhu to the old and the fat, and secretly gave him a look. The old man nodded, a subtle smirk on the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, Uncle PLA is here!" The fat man in the corner smiled dumbly when he saw Boss Zhu's dress.

"Hehe, I'm not a soldier, I usually like to dress like this." Boss Zhu smiled embarrassedly.

"Did you bring any money?" The old man looked at Boss Zhu and asked in a deep voice.

"I haven't seen anything yet." Boss Zhu often goes to people's houses to buy collections. The more remote and backward the place, the more unexpected the harvest. At this time, although he felt that these three people were not good, he did not think about the bad things.

Boss Zhu patted the yellow satchel on his back and said, "As long as I take care of the things, I won't treat you badly in terms of price." ”

The two young men gave the old man a look. I saw the old man pull a snakeskin bag from behind his back, open it, and pour the contents at Boss Zhu's feet.

Boss Zhu squatted down and carefully read all the colorful books in front of him by the dim light. The more I watched, the more disappointed I became, and the more I watched, the more angry I became. Most of the so-called collections in these pockets are common stalls on the market, and they are in extremely poor condition and tattered.

"I don't want these things. Is there anything else? Although Boss Zhu was extremely disappointed, he still asked with anticipation.

"It's all here. It's all very old, and I've heard people say it's very valuable! The old man put everything back into the snakeskin bag, then pricked the mouth of the bag, and said coldly, "Do you know the goods?!" ”

Boss Zhu glanced at the thin young man and showed a dissatisfied look. The heart said, you are knowledgeable, just these rags, let me toss for a day, run so many unjust roads.

Boss Zhu is a very well-cultivated person, although the business was not completed, before leaving, he still greeted them very politely: "Then I will leave first, please contact me again if I have a better collection in the future." ”

"Wait!" The fat man, who had never said a word, stopped Boss Zhu, "Since you're here, let's buy these first!" ”

"I don't like anything, how can I buy it?" At this time, Boss Zhu was also a little angry, "These rags are only delivered to the acquisition station!" ”

"Hmph, the negotiated price, you don't want it if you say you don't want it?" The old man snorted coldly and threw the half pocket of books at Boss Zhu's feet.

Boss Zhu was stunned for a moment and asked, "When will I negotiate a good price with you?" ”

"Don't pretend, you take this bag, and leave all the money in your bag!" The fat man blocking the door didn't know when there was an extra machete in his hand. He glared at Boss Zhu with a fierce glint in his eyes, and kept slapping his palms with the machete in his hand.

This is to meet bandits. It seems that it will be difficult to get out of here today without some blood. Boss Zhu was thinking in his heart about how to minimize the loss. Today he carried more than 1,000 yuan in his satchel, and he couldn't fold it all. This is what he begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother, and he scraped it together.

Boss Zhu looked at the old man and said, "I bought this pocket book for a hundred yuan!" As he spoke, he took out a hundred dollars from his satchel, counted them, and handed them over. At that time, the average salary per capita was twenty or thirty yuan a month, and a hundred yuan was not a small amount.

When the old man saw a thick smash of banknotes, his eyes lit up, and he dipped his two black fingers in saliva and counted them carefully one by one. After counting, stuff the money roll into the sock.

Just when Boss Zhu thought it was okay and walked towards the door with a bag of books, the fat man with a knife stopped him again: "Keep all the money on your body!" ”

"I've paid the money, I've got the things, and we've got the money!" Boss Zhu looked at the thin young man and said, "For these goods, I will pay a hundred yuan, which is already sky-high!" If we don't change the mountains, we will meet again in the future. Tell them two and let me go!" ”

The thin young man rolled his eyes at him: "Just pay this money, don't say that those two don't agree, you won't be able to pass even me!" ”

Facing the bright knife, Boss Zhu also softened, and he begged: "I brought a total of more than 200 yuan when I came out this time, and I took out 100 yuan just now, and I don't have much left on my body." Besides, there are still 100 miles to Beijing from here, so I have to leave some coils, right? ”

"You city people are squeamish! For these 100 miles, we walked there all night without eating or drinking. The old man glanced at the tall boss Zhu with disdain, and said, "Keep all the money on your body, and you can take all the goods with you." We are fair trade, you don't dare to talk nonsense when you go out! - Besides, it's not safe to carry money with you in the middle of the night, walking in the barren mountains and mountains! We're all here for your good! ”

It seems that it will be difficult to get through this without taking out all the money today. In a hurry, Boss Zhu put his hand in his pocket and took out a handful of money, about more than 100 yuan, and threw it to the thin man next to him, and the colorful banknotes were sprinkled all over the ground. Boss Zhu said angrily: "I'll just give you this money, you can let me go!" ”

The thin man and the old man were stunned at the same time, and the fat man standing at the door was the first to react, ran over with a "whoosh", threw the machete in his hand, and quickly pulled the banknotes on the ground with both hands.

Boss Zhu saw that the time had come, so he ran away. I saw him clutching his satchel with one hand, rushing out of the door, seeing that the door was locked, he turned around and came to the low wall, grabbed the wall with both hands, and "rubbed" the ground and turned over. At this time, I heard a burst of shouts from behind, "Catch up with him!" "Hack him to death!" ”
