In the middle of the summer night, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and a cool wind sweeps away the heat of the day. Today is the weekend again, Qian Yongqiang, Huang Youcai and Li Qiming, one of them rode a tricycle, and a long dragon went straight to the Chaotiangong Night Market.

Last night, the three of them cleaned up the place where Li Qiming lived, threw away what should be thrown away, sold what should be sold, and moved the rest to Huang Youcai's next door with little usefulness.

When he was packing up his things, Huang Youcai found that there was a black object shining there under Li Qiming's bed, so he fell to the ground and stretched out his arms and dragged it out.

Qian Yongqiang and Huang Youcai took a closer look and couldn't help but be stunned: Isn't this a violin?

In the dim light, I saw that the whole body of this piano was black and brown, antique, the pulp was very thick, exuding a faint light, it must be some years, but there were no strings on it, and there were some bumps in the corners.

Huang Youcai took it in his hand and checked it, feeling very heavy.

"It should be a good thing, and it's been some years!" Huang Youcai nodded, handed the violin to Qian Yongqiang, and said, "Master, this thing looks good, you can take a look." ”

Qian Yongqiang took the violin, carefully rubbed it with his palm, tapped it lightly with his knuckles, and asked Li Qiming: "How did you get this thing?" ”

"I was collecting books and paper in a house some time ago, and they found some useless broken things in the corner, and they asked me to help them haul them away without asking for money, and this thing was also in it.

"At that time, all the other broken copper and iron were sold for some money, but no one wanted this piece of wood, I didn't want to throw it away, I brought it back and threw it under the bed, if it weren't for Huang - no, my brother saw it, I would have forgotten it!"

Li Qiming scratched the back of his head and asked a little embarrassedly: "I heard you say that this is a violin just now, can it be sold for money?" ”

Qian Yongqiang did not answer Li Qiming's question, but asked him: "What about the other broken copper and iron?" You've sold them all, and there's nothing left? ”

"No more!" Li Qiming said.

"Hey—what do you want me to say about you? This violin is an old thing, and it will definitely sell for a good price, and there must be something good, if not better, in the broken copper and iron that goes with it! Qian Yongqiang said regretfully.

"You loser!" Huang Youcai was so anxious that he stomped his feet, looking like he hated iron but not steel, "You are a poor life, and that pile of things may be enough for you to work for a lifetime!" ”

"Won't it?" Li Qiming made these two people confused, and they were at a loss for a while, smacking their mouths and speechless, "Besides, I don't understand!" ”

"Forget it, Huang Youcai, don't complain about him anymore, everyone has his own life, and everyone has his own master of wealth. Do our business, the so-called: 'endless cheap, endless loss'. Xiao Li just entered the industry, and he can't be blamed for it! Qian Yongqiang sighed, handed the violin to Li Qiming, and said:

"Li Qiming, this violin should be in the forties and fifties, last year in the Chaotiangong Night Market, I saw that people bought and sold a similar piece, and it was sold for 1,000 yuan at that time!"

"Worth that much money?" Li Qiming looked at the violin in his hand blankly, thinking in his heart: "Now I can not only repay the master's money, but also have a surplus on hand." As for whether there are good goods in the things I sell, there is no way to do it.

Who said that he didn't understand at all, if it weren't for Qian Yongqiang and Huang Youcai to give him a palm today, even the thousand yuan would have slipped out of his hands.

He secretly made up his mind that he must learn from Master Qian Yongqiang, receive good goods, and earn a lot of money。。。。。。 ”

"It's here!" Just when Li Qiming was still immersed in his vision for a better future, he was startled when he heard Huang Youcai shouting in a loud voice.

"Right here?" Li Qiming looked at the bare streets, no one set up stalls, no one wandered, only a few passers-by in a hurry, "There are no people here, it's just a big road, how can it be a market?" ”

The three of them found a place with brighter street lights and a cleaner ground, parked the car, and spread a tarpaulin on the sidewalk.

"No one?" Huang Youcai shook his head and looked around, pretending to be serious, "Are you in the wrong place?" ”

Li Qiming was stunned for a moment: "No, where you often come to, can you come to the wrong place?" ”

Huang Youcai said seriously: "Brother, this is a ghost market, many customers who came early are around you, but you don't have a chance to see it!" ”

"Ahh

"Don't make trouble, while there is no one coming now, hurry up and set up the stall, it will be too late to set up when people come!" Qian Yongqiang said to Li Qiming, who was still confused:

"Huang Youcai is joking with you! There will be no one, we are here too early today, and many people will come after a while, and then everyone will rush up, touch the books, pull the pockets, and it will be difficult for you to set up a stall in an orderly manner. Set up a stall while no one is there now. ”

Li Qiming agreed, folded the rain cloth in two, set up a small stall, and put a few copies

Lao Shu and the violin were put on the table, and then helped Qian Yongqiang and Huang Youcai set up a stall.

"Li Qiming, don't be busy here, it's important to be optimistic about your stall, there are often thieves in the night market, who will steal things. Yours are all valuable goods, and all your belongings, look at it! Qian Yongqiang said to Li Qiming:

"If someone asks you for a price, just follow the routine we taught you yesterday!"

"Got it, master! I look at it with my eyes, there are not many things, it looks good, and it will be fine! Li Qiming helped Qian Yongqiang set up a stall, and at the same time took a look at his stall from time to time.

As soon as Qian Yongqiang and Huang Youcai's stalls were set up, several book buyers surrounded them, and Boss Zhang, who had bought several batches of foreign books from Qian Yongqiang a few days ago, also came.

"Boss Qian, morning! Boss Huang, morning! While greeting Qian Yongqiang and Huang Youcai, Boss Zhang bent down to check the books on the stall.

"Boss Zhang, morning!" Qian Yongqiang came to Boss Zhang and said, "Boss Zhang, let me introduce you to someone, he is with us, he has just entered the industry, you will take care of him in the future!" ”

Qian Yongqiang pulled Boss Zhang next to Li Qiming, pointed at Boss Zhang and said to Li Qiming: "This is Boss Zhang, with strong financial resources and bold people, he is a big customer, you can show him those books!" ”

"What do you call this little brother?" Boss Zhang looked at Li Qiming, bent down and grabbed a few books in his hand, and carefully flipped them one by one.

"His name is Li Qiming." Qian Yongqiang glanced at Boss Zhang, nodded silently at Li Qiming, and then walked back to his stall and got busy.

Because the three stalls are placed together, and Qian Yongqiang's is in the right place, he can hear the people talking in the stalls on both sides.

"Boss Li, how do you sell these books?" After Boss Zhang carefully flipped through a few books, he left three and threw the remaining two on the stall.

"Four hundred dollars!" Li Qiming put the two books left by Boss Zhang in the right place.

"Four hundred dollars?" Boss Zhang groaned, "Little booklet, can it be cheaper?" ”

"Cheaper?" Li Qiming said, "Boss Zhang, this is very cheap!" ”

"The first time I did business, I also gave a lot, three hundred yuan, how about it?" Boss Zhang pretended to be bold and said.

The more Qian Yongqiang listened, the more he felt that something was wrong with Li Qiming. Yesterday I told him that five books would be sold together, at a price of eight hundred, and six or seven hundred would be sold; If there is really no one to give six or seven hundred, the last five hundred can be sold.

If someone picks and buys, you can't help but sell, then pick one for three hundred, two for five hundred, three for six hundred, and four for seven hundred. But just now, I obviously saw that Boss Zhang lost two books, and Li Qiming should have offered six hundred for those three books, and the price was five hundred.

How is it that 400 is still 300? A little uneasy, Qian Yongqiang saw that several people who bought books on his side were still picking up, so he walked towards Li Qiming and Boss Zhang.

Boss Zhang was still grinding his face with dead skin, seeing that Li Qiming couldn't hold it anymore. Qian Yongqiang glanced at him and shook his head slightly.

Li Qiming saw that Qian Yongqiang was coming, and he suddenly had a bottom in his heart, no matter how Boss Zhang bargained, he gritted his teeth and didn't let go, which made Boss Zhang helpless. happened to see Qian Yongqiang also beside him, and quickly grabbed Qian Yongqiang's arm and said:

"Boss Qian, tell me, I should give three hundred yuan for these three books, but he just won't let go!"

Qian Yongqiang saw that the three books in Boss Zhang's hand were the best three of the five, and it was said that 300 yuan for these three books should be the lowest price.

If these three books have not been sold in the market for a long time, three hundred can also be sold, but these three books have not been touched by a second person as soon as they arrive in the market, so they will be sold at the lowest price, and no one will be very happy.

"Boss Zhang, why don't you take the two books on the ground and give them a suitable price, how about 'one shot'?" Qian Yongqiang picked up the two books on the ground and handed them to Boss Zhang.

Boss Zhang didn't take the book handed over by Qian Yongqiang, and said: "These two books, although they are also books of the Republic of China, are mathematical, physical and chemical, and have little value. ”

"Boss Zhang, what good books have you bought, let me see them." A baritone voice that was not high or low and slightly familiar reached Qian Yongqiang's ears, and he looked up and saw that it was Boss Wang of "Zhiyanzhai".

"You can bargain as much as you want, I'm just going to see if it doesn't affect your transaction." Boss Wang said as he spoke, and at the same time stretched out his hand to Boss Zhang.

Boss Zhang hurriedly held the book in his arms, avoided Boss Wang, looked at Qian Yongqiang and continued: "The price I paid is okay, they are all old friends, be polite!" ”

Boss Wang saw that Boss Zhang ignored him, slightly embarrassed, his outstretched hand froze in the air, and saw that Qian Yongqiang still had two books in his hand, so he took them over and said to himself: "I'll take a look at these two books first." Boss Zhang, you didn't want these two copies, did you? ”

Li Qiming saw Qian Yongqiang beside him, and he was full of confidence, no matter what Boss Zhang said, he just didn't nod.

"It's tough!" Boss Zhang shook his head helplessly, took out four hundred yuan and slapped it in Li Qiming's hand, turned around and left.

"Humph!" Boss Wang looked at Boss Zhang's back and snorted dissatisfiedly.

"I picked up a good one and bought it, and I didn't want to pay for it! These two books were picked up by someone else, how much is it? Boss Wang shook the two books in his hand and asked Li Qiming.

Li Qiming looked at Qian Yongqiang and didn't speak. Boss Wang also looked at Qian Yongqiang, feeling that this person was a little familiar: "You-aren't you the one who came to my store that day--your set of books are still there, right?" ”

Qian Yongqiang didn't want the people around him to know that he had sold books in Boss Wang's shop, and he didn't want Boss Zhu to know that his set of "Mao Xuan" was sent to Boss Wang first, and Boss Wang didn't ask for it, so he sold it to him.

In this way, not only Boss Zhu has an opinion on him, but even the rest of the book buyers will be wary of him in the future.

Qian Yongqiang didn't answer Boss Wang's words, and quickly changed the topic: "The two books in your hand are a total of 200 yuan!" ”

"Won't it?" Boss Wang said, "The three books just now are only 400 yuan!" ”

"Boss Zhang's three books are four hundred, and your two books are two hundred, which is much cheaper!" Qian Yongqiang said.

"What are those three books? Although I didn't read the content, I probably knew that it was a book on literature and history, but my two books were about mathematics and physics, and their value was very different. Boss Wang argues for:

"The two books in my hand, Boss Zhang didn't ask for them just now, if you don't believe it, I'll put them here, and no one will buy them until morning!"

"Then how much do you think you can want? Pay it back. ”
