treasure hunter

After lunch, everyone chatted for a long time at Mr. Huang's house before leaving one after another.Professor Han had nothing to do, so he went to Shulong's shop with Pei Miao to have a look.

Shulong didn't expect Professor Han to come suddenly, he was very happy, he moved the stool, boiled water and made tea, he was as busy as a spinning top.

Professor Han is very satisfied with the performance of Shulong's hospitality. He wears everything and flatters, and the words of the ancients are indeed very reasonable.

When Shulong learned that Professor Han would come to his shop to do eye palms for a year, he was overjoyed. He never dreamed that he could invite such a big name as Professor Han to do eye palms in his mind. Well, Professor Han is at the expert level, I didn't expect Pei Miao to invite him here.

Shulong also brought good news to Pei Miao. Lao Li next door had agreed to transfer the store, and he bargained with Lao Li. In the end, the deal was 240 million yuan, which was 60 yuan less than the budget. He only signed the contract as soon as the money arrived.

Pei Miao was overjoyed when he heard the words, so what are you waiting for, let Shulong draw up the contract immediately, and then went to the next door to find Lao Li to sign the contract. After signing the contract, he first checked Lao Li's accounts and goods. The most valuable ancient jade artifacts were moved away so that he would not make any more troubles. Lao Li promised to pack up his personal belongings today. After closing in the evening, he will give the key to Pei Miao, and he will not come tomorrow.

Pei Miao reminded Shulong that if the store expanded, he had to go to the relevant department to re-file and register, so as not to be troublesome when all departments came to the door, Shulong naturally knew the pros and cons of it, and nodded frequently.

Professor Han saw with his own eyes that Pei Miao sold 240 million yuan to the store opposite, and heard Pei Miao's plans for the future of the store. He really admired Pei Miao, and now he has a lot of confidence in this antique shop.

At 04:30 in the evening, Lao Li from the next door came over and told Pei Miao and Shulong to go over, and checked the goods again. After confirming that they were correct, he handed over the keys. After handing over the keys, Lao Li took out a small notebook from his arms, handed it to Shulong, and said, "Come , Xiaoshu, this is for you, these are all my old customers, you can keep them."

When Shulong heard the words, he took it in surprise, looked through it, and found that all the information he came to record was some customer information. Shulong said happily: "Uncle Li, you are so reliable!"

"Also call me Uncle, I'm not even a few years younger than your grandfather." Lao Li smiled, looked around at everything in the shop, seemingly reluctant, and said, "The main purpose of opening the shop was to make a living. , During this period, how much suffering, how many crimes, and how much cheating I suffered, I survived no matter how hard it was, 30 years, it has passed in such a blink of an eye, this store has been with me for 30 years, now Alright, let’s sell it directly.”

Shulong couldn't help saying: "Uncle Li, you still have so many stories."

"Who hasn't told a story yet." Lao Li smiled lightly and said, "Although I am reluctant, this store really can't keep going. My body can't take it anymore. My leg was injured. Now that I'm old, I'm starting to make trouble. It's getting worse year by year, and I have to take a good treatment and rest. Fortunately, my two children have grown up and have their own family business. Shu, although you have not been here for a long time, I am very optimistic about you, you have a good personality, you are kind, and you are especially eager to learn and make progress. If you work hard, you will definitely achieve something in the future."

"Thank you Uncle Li for your good words!" Shulong was overjoyed by Lao Li's praise.

Because of the change of tenant, Lao Li contacted the landlord to handle the matter of subletting. What Lao Li meant was that he didn't want the rent, and the lease term would be given to Pei Miao and the others.

The landlord happened to be also the landlord of Shulong Store, so he was easy to talk to and drew up a new contract with Shulong.

Pei Miao wanted to buy both of these stores, so she asked the landlord, "Mr. Gao, how much did you pay for these two stores?"

The landlord, Mr. Gao, said: "If you add up the two...it will cost about 400 million."

Pei Miao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked, "Can you sell it?"

"You want to buy it?" Mr. Gao looked at Pei Miao in surprise.

Pei Miao nodded.

Mr. Gao thought for a while and said, "300 million, take both of them."

Pei Miao was dumbfounded when she heard this, the price difference... one is on the bottom of the sea and the other is on the cloud.

Seeing Pei Miao's expression, the landlord couldn't help laughing and said, "The real estate is like this, it's going up so fast, you can't just look at the price in the past."

Pei Miao thought to himself, the two shops add up to just over 70 square meters, including the area of ​​the second floor, at most 150 square meters. On average, the price of one square meter is nearly [-] square meters, which Pei Miao can't accept.

Pei Miao dismissed the idea of ​​buying a storefront, the landlord and Shulong re-signed a rental contract, and then drove away in his old gray Chevrolet.

Back at Jubaozhai, Professor Han was still drinking tea. Seeing them coming back, Professor Han said, "Shulong, Pei Miao and I are going to visit the antique night market in Confucius Temple tonight, so come with us."

"Okay." Shulong said happily when he heard the words, "Maybe we can get some goods back."

Seeing that Shulong agreed, Professor Han said: "It's still early, so I'll take a stroll in the antique market here first, and let's have dinner together in the evening, and go there after eating."

Shulong nodded: "Okay, I wish you, Professor, a big leak."

"You bastard, you are likable when you talk." Professor Han walked out of the store with a smile.

....................................................................................

It was getting late, and Professor Han returned to the Shulong shop. He didn't find any leaks, but he bought two gadgets. One was a wine cup made of official kiln famille rose porcelain in the Jiaqing period. Unfortunately, there were two small cracks on the surface, and another It is a copper lock from the Jiaqing period. The shape of the lock is very good. It is engraved with Pixiu. It may be the lock of the ancient money bank. Unfortunately, it is not well preserved. There are many stamps on the surface. The stamps are quite deep, and the lock handle is broken up.

Although no leakage was found, Professor Han is still very happy, because he is good at repairing. He can repair these broken things. Although the original value cannot be achieved after repairing, it is far from what it is now. .

When Shulong saw Professor Han came back, he took out his mobile phone and ordered takeaway. Professor Han reminded: "I have a friend who is coming, order for four people, by the way, order a salted duck from Hubu Street Hongji."

"Okay!" Shulong picked up his phone and poked it, ordered takeaway.

The takeaway had just arrived, and before they had unpacked it on the table, a man in a gray and white Tang suit came in. He was in his 50s, with gray temples, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. The hair is neatly combed.

Pei Miao and Shulong were taken aback when they saw the person coming, and then said in unison: "Teacher Xu Hongchang?"

Xu Hongchang, one of the treasure appraisal experts in the weekly treasure appraisal program of Suzhou Satellite TV, will appear on TV every Saturday and Sunday, and appraise treasures for the audience on the spot. He is also an appraisal expert of Suzhou Provincial Museum. He is a star in Jiangsu province, Pei Miao and Shulong often watch treasure appraisal programs, so naturally they recognized him at a glance.

"Hello, yo, Lao Han, you are ready to eat." Xu Hongchang walked over with a smile.

"Teacher Xu, please sit down." Shulong and Pei Miao saw that the friend that Professor Han invited was Xu Hongchang, and hurriedly moved a stool for Xu Hongchang.

"Thank you." Xu Hongchang took the stool and sat down.

Professor Han said with a smile: "It's really a coincidence that you came here. The dishes we ordered have just arrived. Knowing that you like the ducks from Hubu Street Hongji, I specially asked my students to order one for you."

"Ah, thank you so much." Xu Hongchang rubbed his hands happily when he heard the words, as if he couldn't wait any longer.

"Don't rush to eat, let me introduce first. These two are my favorite students, Pei Miao and Shulong. This store is jointly opened by the two of them. I'm not retiring now. I plan to be the shopkeeper in their store." Eye."

"This shop?" Xu Hongchang turned his head and looked around, and asked, "Is it a little small? Can it accommodate your big Buddha?"

Pei Miao smiled and said, "We just sold the jade shop next door today, and we're going to clean it up tomorrow and then renovate it. We will open up the two shops and merge them into one shop."

"Oh, that's not bad." Xu Hongchang nodded slowly when he heard the words.

Professor Han said again: "By the way, the two of them will go with us when we go to the night market tonight."

"Okay." Xu Hongchang said happily when he heard the words, "I have always encouraged young people to get in touch with the antique industry. By the way, I have an idea. Tonight we can take one old and one young, divide into two groups, and then split up Take action, compare and see which group gains the most."

Professor Han agreed: "Okay, this is a good idea, as long as the two groups don't gain nothing, it would be embarrassing."

Xu Hongchang said: "You can't see well at night, and it's normal if you can't pick out good things. Come on, let's eat quickly, it will take time to get there."

"Eat and eat."

The four of them unpacked the takeaway together and started eating dinner.

After dinner, it was already six o'clock, and it was already dark. The four of them drew lots and decided to divide into groups. The result of the lottery was that Shulong and Professor Han were in the same group, and Pei Miao and Xu Hongchang were in the same group.

Then the four of them closed the shop door, boarded the car and set off to the Confucius Temple.

Even at night, the parking lot near Confucius Temple seldom had any vacant spaces, and there were only two cars, so they waited for a parking space for half an hour. By the time they parked their cars and walked into the Confucius Temple Night Market, it was almost eight o'clock. The night market has already started.

"Well, there are too many people in the Confucius Temple, and the parking space is tight. It will be more convenient to take the subway in the future." Professor Han said depressingly, and then said, "Let's split up the two groups, Lao Xu, and take Pei Pei well." Miao oh."

Xu Hongchang smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I have a hunch that our group will win tonight."

"Pull it down." Professor Han said unconvinced, "Our team must win tonight."

"Let's see!" The two separated.

Xu Hongchang turned his head and waved to Pei Miao: "Xiao Pei, come with me."

"Okay." Pei Miao followed behind Xu Hongchang.

It was the first time he came to the Confucius Temple Antique Night Market, and he didn't even know where the antiques were sold. Xu Hongchang was an old driver, so he was right to follow him.
