"There it is!" Zhou Jianguo's glasses lit up, and he quickly thought of a way.

Qi Baishi's paintings are indeed good, but there are quite a lot of his paintings in the world, it is said that there are more than 20,000 paintings, and the price of Qi Baishi's paintings has not soared yet, so there are articles to be done here.

"What's in it for you?" Zhou Jianguo came to the man and asked.

"Painting, Qi Baishi's painting, do you want to see it?" The middle-aged man asked with a hint of eagerness.

"Well, take a look!" Zhou Jianguo nodded.

The middle-aged man's face showed joy, and then he carefully opened one of the boxes and handed it to Zhou Jianguo.

"Hey, you put it on the ground first!" Zhou Jianguo didn't take it, but asked the man to put the box on the ground first.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot in a hurry, I'm sorry." The middle-aged man apologized as he put the box in his hand on the ground.

This is an unspoken rule of the antique industry, it is best to put things on the ground and not pass through other people's hands, so as not to embarrass everyone when something goes wrong.

There is nothing like calligraphy and painting, but things like porcelain, jade and the like, if you accidentally fall to the ground and break it when you take it over, who is responsible for it at that time?

So, when you go to buy antiques, if the other party hands you something, you must not accept it, because it may be a trap for you.

For the safety of your wallet, it is best to let the other party put things on the ground first, and then you carefully take them over to check.

Of course, it's best to use your phone to take the video, in this case, if something really goes wrong, you have the corresponding evidence, don't you?

"Qi Baishi's painting, well, not bad!" Zhou Jianguo picked up the painting on the ground and nodded while looking at it, as if he was identifying the painting.

In fact, Zhou Jianguo has long confirmed that this is a real painting, and he is like this now, just to pave the way for bargaining later.

"Why isn't it Qi Baishi's shrimp, but bamboo, this ....... It's not worth much! Zhou Jianguo's face showed a hint of dissatisfaction, and after the middle-aged man saw it, he sighed in his heart, thinking that he couldn't sell it again.

Yes, these three Qi Baishi's paintings, the middle-aged man has actually sold them for some time, and those who have seen them dislike that this is a bamboo painting, not Qi Baishi's best shrimp, and now when he heard Zhou Jianguo say this again, the middle-aged man felt quite bitter in his heart.

"Friend, if you really want it, ....... like this" The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and directly said a number that shocked Zhou Jianguo.

"Twenty dollars for a painting, you give fifty dollars, and these three paintings are yours."

Okay, the middle-aged man directly offered a group purchase price, and bought it all, only fifty yuan.

"Fifty bucks?" Zhou Jianguo almost jumped up with joy, if these three paintings were placed in the future generations, they would be at least tens of millions of dollars, but now they only cost fifty yuan.

"No wonder everyone wants to come to this era, because in this era, there are treasures everywhere!" Zhou Jianguo sighed in his heart.

"Sir, if it's too expensive, we can still discuss?" The middle-aged man saw that Zhou Jianguo didn't speak for a long time, thinking that Zhou Jianguo was too expensive, so he was ready to reduce the price.

(Digression: Qi Baishi's paintings were actually not very valuable in those days, a painting was about five or ten yuan, even in the eighties, it was a few hundred yuan, and it was still one of the finest products, and the general price was not so high.) ）

"Expensive? No, it's not expensive, it's not expensive! Zhou Jianguo said with a smile.

The price of fifty yuan made him really embarrassed to bargain again. Eight Chinese Net

He is not a black-hearted businessman, he has already made a lot of money by buying such three authentic works of Qi Baishi at a price of fifty yuan, and if he bargains again, Zhou Jianguo himself will be embarrassed.

"You mean, you want it?" The middle-aged man said with a look of surprise.

"Well, I want it!" Zhou Jianguo said without hesitation, and directly took out fifty yuan and handed it to the middle-aged man.

"Whew!" The middle-aged man forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and took Zhou Jianguo's fifty yuan.

Others seem to think that it is only fifty yuan, but on the middle-aged man's side, it is life-saving money.

The real identity of the middle-aged man is actually a university teacher, and he has a kind of literary style, but the literati's style can't be eaten, no, there has been a problem in the family recently, his wife is sick and needs to be hospitalized for surgery, and it takes at least 500 yuan.

plus some nutrition in the later stage, if you add it up, you don't have seven or eight hundred yuan, and you don't want to be cured at all.

Seven or eight hundred yuan, in the sixties, this was really a lot of money, and the middle-aged man was in trouble all of a sudden.

As a university teacher, middle-aged men have a lot of salary, but some of them are used to buy books, and the rest are sent back to their hometowns, plus the expenses of the family or something, so the middle-aged man really can't take out so much money for a while.

His wife didn't want to be treated, saying that even if it costs money, it may not be cured, so it is better to leave it at that, and the family can save some, but this time the middle-aged man is very stylish, and directly said that he will solve the money matter.

The middle-aged man sent his wife to the hospital the next day, and then he began to find a way to raise money.

He first asked a friend to borrow it, but the amount was as high as 700 yuan, and his friend did not have so much, and finally only borrowed more than 300 yuan.

(I have to say that the people of that era were really very simple, borrowing money or something, there was no need to be tight at all, and, as long as there was money, they would borrow, and after borrowing, they would definitely find a way to repay, where is it like now, when borrowing money, it is a grandson, and when it is repaid, it is an uncle, hey....... ）

(Three years ago, I lent out 60,000 yuan, and I haven't recovered a penny yet, hey....... ）

However, this money, together with the family's savings of more than 200 yuan, was enough for the hospital's surgery fee, and his wife successfully underwent the operation.

It's just that the rest of the money has to be raised as soon as possible, so as not to affect his wife's postoperative treatment at that time.

On that day, the middle-aged man finally let go of his literati style and bowed to life for the first time.

He did not hesitate to pick up the calligraphy and paintings in the study, as well as some 'stones' that he had bought with money before, and stepped into the black market for the first time, ready to sell these things he used to love in exchange for the family's livelihood.

The things that Zhou Jianguo sees now are leftovers from the man's sale.

Others also dislike these paintings as too ordinary, so these three paintings of Qi Baishi will remain until now.

I don't know if it's to remember his past, or to explain to Zhou Jianguo that he is not one of those second-hand dealers, so after Zhou Jianguo paid the money, the middle-aged man told Zhou Jianguo these things.

To be honest, if these words were said before paying the money, Zhou Jianguo really wouldn't believe it, there are many such stories in the antique market, many stories, and even more pitiful than what the middle-aged man said.

However, in fact, this is all other people's routines, in order to put you into the story specially made up, if you really believe it, then you will be fooled, and when the time comes, you will be sorry for the story made up by others without a big blood.

So, if you go to an antique market or something, don't believe these stories that people say, it's all a routine, specially designed to pit a novice like you.

However, Zhou Jianguo believed what the middle-aged man said after paying the money.

For this middle-aged man, when he was in a family crisis, he was able to put down his burden and come to the black market to make money to support his family, Zhou Jianguo's impression of this middle-aged man became very good.

As the head of the family, you have to take on the responsibility of supporting the family, when the family is intact, you can immerse yourself in the world of art, you can show your literati style, but once there is a problem in the family, then you have to return to the family, for your wife, children to shoulder your responsibility as the male host!

At this point, this middle-aged man did a good job.

"Mr. Zheng (self-introduction), what are your boxes?" Zhou Jianguo pointed to the remaining boxes and said.

In fact, he already knew what was in the box, but he hadn't opened it yet, so he couldn't say it directly.

"It's bloodstone."

Zheng Liangping opened the box, revealing several stones that looked like they were stained with blood.

The stones are not large, the smallest is the size of an egg, and the largest is the size of a head.

Although he knew that it was bloodstone before, after really seeing it, Zhou Jianguo's heart couldn't help but get excited again.

"These stones are carefully collected by me over the years, and they are absolutely fine."

When Zheng Liangping said this, his eyes were full of reluctance, he spent a lot of effort in order to collect these bloodstones, and now for his own small family, he had to take out these bloodstones and sell them.

"Okay, I'll take a look!" Zhou Jianguo picked up a piece of bloodstone and examined it carefully.

Bloodstone is a thing of different quality and different prices, and the difference is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

However, there is a very simple way to identify it, and that is to look at the content of 'blood' in it.

The 'blood' on the bloodstone is extremely obvious, the more the 'blood' content, the better the quality of the bloodstone, as for other aspects, even if you tell him, he doesn't understand.

Just like Zhou Jianguo, he is a layman, when he looks at bloodstone, he only looks at whether the content of 'blood' is high, and he doesn't care about anything else.

Soon, Zhou Jianguo determined that these bloodstones were real, and, just like Zheng Liangping said, they were all high-grade bloodstones, so Zhou Jianguo did not hesitate to take them all.

Bloodstone, in later generations, it was calculated in grams, the lowest gram also required several thousand yuan, and the top one could even reach tens of thousands of yuan, gold and other things, in front of it, not even the younger brother's younger brother.

The second more, please subscribe for support!!

Thank you Yuntian 22, book friends 20170401004345481 the two big monthly pass support, thank you for your recommendation ticket support, the walker is here to sincerely thank you, thank you!!

Hey, it's so unlucky, there was a case of new crown here, at two o'clock in the morning yesterday, the whole community did nucleic acid testing, and it had to be done for three consecutive days, and it was required that you can't go out in these three days, damn!!

Now the supermarket in the community is empty, and everyone is crazy to buy all the daily necessities, hey......

For the sake of such a miserable walker, everyone, give some support!!

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
