"Pay the fat man antique shop, the owner should be a fat man, right?"

When Zhang Yang walked into the antique store, he had this idea and first looked for where the boss was.

Standing behind the counter was a lady wearing a cheongsam, with delicate makeup, looking very capable, who should be the proprietress of the hostess.

The fat man sitting at the counter, with his head tilted up and his mouth wide open and snoring, should be the boss.

Business in the store is very average, with only seven or eight customers strolling around.

This may have something to do with the positioning of the entire third floor in the ghost market, going up to the third floor is to buy land stalls, want to visit serious antique shops, and the second floor is everywhere.

Those who are willing to come to this store are either regular customers or young people like Zhang Yang, focusing on a "casual look".

Seeing Zhang Yang walk in the door, the eyes of the woman standing behind the counter lit up.

Here it is, here comes today's profit.

She didn't rush to speak, and quietly kicked the fat man next to her to wake up.

When Zhang Yang began to look at the antiques displayed in the store, she walked out of the counter and greeted her.

"Boss, long time no see!"

"Long time no see?" Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment and pointed to himself: "You know me?" ”

It's bad, it won't be a fan in the live broadcast room, right?

"I don't know, but I think you're very familiar, maybe we've met before."

The woman winked at Zhang Yang, and the meaning of provocation was very obvious.

Hearing that the other party was just close, Zhang Yang was relieved, this kind of thing must be between strangers.

didn't dwell too much on this issue, he asked the other party mainly in the opposite way:

"Boss, do you have any recommended antiques here?"

"Of course there is, we have Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain here, but it is the most famous in the entire market."

The woman pointed to the porcelain counter on the side, four cabinets, all of which were filled with bottles and jars.

Most of the old men and old ladies who came to this store are now standing in front of the counter corresponding to the porcelain, which shows that this is really a hot-selling product.

"Okay, then I'll go over and have a look. I'll trouble you when you have the antique you want. ”

Zhang Yang put down the next sentence, quickly got rid of this woman, and walked directly to the porcelain counter.

When he got to the crowd, he didn't even look at the porcelain, and continued on.

Since porcelain is a bestseller in this antique shop, it would have been bought long ago, even if it was missing.

The rest, it is clearly a fake or a high imitation, maybe it is not necessarily the goods that just came in yesterday.

In this kind of place, staying in this kind of place for an extra second is a waste of time.

The real treasures in antique shops are often hidden in those deserted areas, because there are few people who understand, so it is possible to stay.

For example, in front of Zhang Yang, next to this inferior Sanxingdui mask, the red long box.

There are three big characters written on it - "like bone chopsticks".

Chopsticks made from elephant bones are also made into products.

The trademark is "Elephant Ball Brand", and the box also uses traditional Chinese characters to mark the advantages of elephant bone chopsticks, such as "not afraid of boiling water, not afraid of acid, will not burst" and so on.

At first glance, it is the animal products sold to China in the early years of Xiangjiang or Southeast Asia.

It's just that elephant bones and tusks are a bit far apart.

Whether it is the sentence or the material itself, it is not a grade thing.

Zhang Yang just picked it up, looked at the condition of the chopsticks, and after confirming that it was a product from more than 20 years ago, he put it down.

In the same wooden pavilion as the elephant bone chopsticks, there are six pastel spoons, which are handicrafts in Jingdi Town, and they have a history of more than ten years.

These two things give people a very strange feeling, a bit like daily necessities collected from the countryside.

And the next few things I saw quickly confirmed Zhang Yang's guess.

An old-fashioned door lock cast in modern copper, the kind with the keyhole on the side, with a stick-shaped key;

A copper bowl from the late Qing Dynasty looks like it should be a medicine bowl for drinking Chinese medicine;

A 30-year-old red wooden scale with a large iron hook on it should still work;

Even the old teacher's ring ruler was collected, a box full of them, and the store also intimately marked "special for educational bear children......

Zhang Yang glanced at the fat man yawning on the counter from a distance.

Just looking at these things, he can almost conclude that this fat man must have a really good baby in his hands, only more or less.

But how to get people to take it out is a big problem.

Zhang Yang touched his trouser pocket, fortunately, he brought a business card.

……

"Boss?!"

Zhang Yang walked to the cabinet and reminded the two people who were looking down to swipe their mobile phones.

I'm going to talk to you about business.

The woman raised her head and looked at Zhang Yang with a smile:

"Handsome guy, what's the matter?"

"There's a little thing. Just now I was over there, and I saw a lot of old objects from the late Qing Dynasty and modern times, and I want to ask, are there any more expensive ones? ”

"These dozens of things, it's not interesting."

As Zhang Yang spoke, he handed over his business card.

The woman took it and looked at it.

"Hiss~ So you are?"

She hurriedly handed the business card to the fat man next to her.

The latter was stunned for a moment, and after picking up the business card, he quickly stood up from the stool.

"You are, Mr. Zhang of Hedong Group?"

Fu Fatzi looked at the business card for a while, and looked up at Zhang Yang for a while, and the expression on his face was very surprised.

As for it?

Zhang Yang didn't expect the other party to react so much.

This business card reads "Hedong Group, Director of Marketing and Purchasing Department, Zhang Wuji".

He specially asked Chen Yanguang to help customize it.

The original intention was to think that multiple vests would be easy to do, for example, now, you can use this identity to attract the attention of the other party.

But now this situation is a bit overdone.

This boss can't be a victim of the Hedong Group, right?

Zhang Yang took half a step back protectively, and asked suspiciously:

"Boss, do you also know about the Hedong Group?"

"I must know, Mr. Zhang."

Fu Fatzi lowered his body, pulled out the drawer, and said to Zhang Yang while rummaging through things:

"At the group's annual meeting last year, did Mr. Zhang go? I was performing in the East China branch of the group at the time, the fat man who danced the belly dance, do you have any impression? ”

Belly dancing?

Zhang Yang didn't expect that this boss Fu was still a flexible fat man.

But he really hasn't seen it, so he can't pretend to understand, just tell the truth:

"I only joined this year, and I wasn't in the group last year."

"In this case, then you must have been recruited by Miss Cheng, right?"

Fu Fatzi took the initiative to help Zhang Yang explain, and finally pulled out a white booklet from the drawer.

It reads "Hedong Group East China Branch Confidentiality Agreement".

When Zhang Yang flipped through the booklet, Fu Fatzi continued to explain:

"A few months ago, didn't Mr. Cheng have an accident? I read the news that it is now Miss Cheng who is managing the group, and it has been cut off from the domestic business. ”

"At that time, things were quite big, and many people went in, but fortunately, I was in charge of the group's regular channel business, and I was released back after a few days of investigation."

Speaking of this, the fat man's tone was full of joy.

After Zhang Yang finished reading the booklet, he also understood what was going on.

To put it simply, Fu Fatzi is a professional "second-hand dealer" who receives the salary paid by Hedong Group.

He is specifically responsible for buying some real old items from the "dealers" who go to the countryside to receive goods, supplying them to dealers all over the country, and selling them together with the group's fakes.

After the Cheng family father and son entered, the group directly cut off this part of the business, and his salary for drought and flood protection was naturally gone.

"And are you still receiving the goods?" Zhang Yang only cares about this one issue.

If so, I've got a business here.

"No more. The 600,000 yuan I received last time, and the group's reimbursement process was not completed, so Mr. Cheng went in. ”

"That's a pity." Zhang Yang pouted helplessly.

I originally wanted to take a bite of the dividends of Hedong Group.

"Mr. Zhang......" Fu Fatzi pursed his lips and took out an account book: "This is the account book of 600,000 yuan, you see?" ”

"You don't want me to reimburse you, do you?" Zhang Yang asked rhetorically with a surprised expression.

Will the topic move a little too fast?

At least verify first, am I really from Hedong Group?

But this is Zhang Yang thinking too much, a group where the founder is in prison and his employees are in a lot of ways, who will endure the counterfeiting?

Fu Fatzi now just wants to find a way to get the payment back from Zhang Yang, he complained:

"Mr. Zhang, you have also seen it, my business is not good in this store, and my life has been really difficult recently."

"The eldest in the family is going to high school, and the annual tuition fee is more than 60,000 yuan, and if you don't get any money, you will drop out......"

That's not too bad, is it?

Zhang Yang just wanted to laugh when he heard it.

Just these words that Fu Fatzi said, if they are put in the talent show, they can't even pass the pre-selection.

He didn't have time to accompany the other party to stir up emotions, so he directly made a stop gesture, stop!

Listen to me first.

"600,000 is a small meaning, I can pay it myself, but I have to see what kind of goods you are receiving."

Zhang Yang wanted to see what kind of goods this person had received.

If you really have something you can look at, just pay to take it away.

"Of course, if the thing is not worth the price, then you can only go to Boss Cheng in prison to find a way."

"What do you think?"

"Look, it does." Fu Fatzi nodded again and again in agreement, and he instructed the woman next to him: "Blow them all out, saying that we are closed." ”

Five minutes later.

The antique shop, which was already deserted, is now completely cool.

In order to prevent people from visiting again, Fu Fatzi pulled down half of the roller shutter and hung up a "temporarily closed" sign.

After all this, he asked Zhang Yang to wait for a while, and began to pull the clerk to move the boxes out of the warehouse.

It is claimed that the old objects bought for 600,000 yuan have a total of six large boxes, with an average of 100,000 yuan per box.

Without exception, the boxes were stuffed with white foam.

"Look at them one by one, or spot checks?" Fu Fat asked.

Zhang Yang looked at the time, the treasure appreciation activity started at ten o'clock in the morning, if he finished reading it all, it would definitely be too late, he planned to go back to the hotel to squint for a while, and then go to the scene.

"It's a little late today, I'll look at a box first, and if it's okay, you can come to me tomorrow with everything."

"Okay, you can choose that one." Fu Fatzi made a gesture of please.

"That's it." Zhang Yang pointed to the largest box.

A big box should be a big object, right?

……

"Mr. Zhang, you really have a vision."

Fu Fatzi gave a thumbs up and said:

"The contents of this box are all from an antique dealer who has already entered."

Got in?

Zhang Yang seemed to suddenly understand why Fu Fatzi's antique shop was so big, but the business was not very good.

Perhaps his contacts are now exchanging experiences in prison.

Out of steady, Zhang Yang asked first: "You can't be a stolen car, right?" ”

"No, no, the police uncle has already come to check."

"Mr. Zhang, don't worry, if I sell stolen goods, I will definitely be sentenced more heavily than you. I had a friend who bought three third-grade cultural relics sold by tomb robbers, and he was only sentenced to six months......"

Is there a six-month sentence for three third-degree cases?

That could be two months now.

Zhang Yang looked at what Fu Fatzi took out of the box, a bronze statue.

The statue is only slightly larger than the xiaolongbao, a bit like a seal, with a hexagonal base and a fat bird carved on the main body.

Things should be handed down, because some parts of the appearance have been flushed red, and without the cumulative use, this effect cannot be achieved.

"Name: Bronze Power"

"Date of production: 1309 A.D. (Yuan Dynasty)"

"Details: The weights used by ancient people to weigh items as a standard for the weight of goods"

The copper right is generally a weighing stone, which can be strung with a rope and hung on a pole scale.

However, such bird-shaped copper weights, which do not have holes in them, are generally used for balance weighing.

Either it is used to weigh medicinal herbs, such things that need to be strictly controlled in dose; Either it is used to measure the weight of metals, such as gold and silver.

Zhang Yang put the bronze bird in his hand and weighed it, and it was estimated that there were two or two, which was relatively large in the copper power.

He remembered very well that in a museum somewhere, there was also a bronze power of the Yuan Dynasty that was one or two heavy, and it was clearly marked as a third-class cultural relic.

"What is the crime of the person who sold these things to you?" Zhang Yang asked Fu Fatzi curiously.

"I heard that I was robbing the tomb with others, but I didn't dig anything, so I was angry and stole the vegetables of a local farmer, and I was caught red-handed."

"It's them."

Zhang Yang nodded, he had really seen the news, and he ranked fourth in the "Tomb Robber Fool Ranking".

However, this person's tomb robbing skills are average, but the level of receiving goods is really good.

In this box, in addition to the copper power of the Yuan Dynasty, there is also the Qing Dynasty's 戥子 (deng three sounds), which is the kind of small scale commonly used in Chinese medicine stores when grabbing medicine.

This pole is not only exquisitely made, but also comes with a wooden box.

The box is shaped like a bag for a badminton racket, and the scale is packed into a wooden box so that you can carry it around.

"This is the emptiness of which old Chinese medicine doctor's family, right?" Zhang Yang thought to himself.

He watched as antiques were brought out, including incense, silver needles, and even a pure copper pot.

Although it is not all antiques from the Yuan Dynasty, it is also from the third Qing Dynasty at the latest.

It is definitely the inheritance of which traditional Chinese medicine family.

It's just that most of these things belong to folk cultural relics, with high cultural value and low economic value.

It certainly won't reach the price of 100,000.

Coming up to the first box, is it a sign of losing money?

Zhang Yang lowered the overall expectation of the six boxes of things in front of him a little.

Seeing that Fu Fatzi's hand was stretched deeper and deeper, he asked:

"Is there anything down there?"

"Yes, and the baby at the bottom of the box!"

As Fu Fatzi spoke, he took out a red wooden box from the box with both hands.

He gently placed the box on the table:

"Mr. Zhang, please taste!"
