The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 351, Transactions

night, morning.

Li Weiguo opened his eyes and woke up.

Without turning on the light, I stood up and glanced at the clock in the main room. It was already past one in the morning.

Okay, it's almost time, it's time to set off.

Just go.

After quickly putting on his clothes and shoes, putting on his hat and mask, and covering himself up tightly, Li Weiguo planned to take advantage of the night to take a trip to Old Fu's side of the ghost market.

In the past two years, the old Fu at the ghost market has been helping him buy all kinds of old objects and gold and jade in the circle of the old and the young. It's ready.

After discovering Lao Fu and his group of old and young during the barbecue season during the day, he made up his mind to take advantage of the current bad market environment to make a good harvest.

Otherwise, if you miss this year, it will not be easy to find good things from the old and young in the future.

In the early morning, the courtyard was dark and silent, everyone was asleep, only a few rustling insects could be heard occasionally in the corner.

Li Weiguo quietly walked out of the door, and gently closed it. He glanced left and right at the environment in the courtyard to make sure that no one was up at night, then walked to the bicycle, and put it into the space with a wave of his big hand.

When he walked to the root of the courtyard wall, he jumped up on the spot, grabbed the top of the wall with both hands and easily climbed out.

After leaving the courtyard, with a thought in mind, I put the bicycle out again, looked at the direction, and rode straight to the old imperial city in the west city.

After leaving Nanluogu Alley, under the faint moonlight, we were riding fast and we soon arrived near the ghost market.

When they arrived at the ghost market, Li Weiguo didn't go in for a stroll. He just glanced at it from a distance, then bypassed the ghost market and went straight to Lao Fu and his friends' second courtyard.

Although there are some good things in the street stalls inside, in the past two years, Lao Fu and Tong Dahai from the trust store have been responsible for helping him purchase various old items, and his horizons have also improved a lot. Some ordinary things on the street stalls in this ghost market It no longer aroused his interest.

What he is focusing on now is a collection of high-quality products, and he will only collect them if there are good things. Ordinary bottles and jars have little collection value, so he will basically not waste time buying them.

After riding for 2 minutes, he soon arrived at the second courtyard where the transaction was held. After waving the car back into the space, Li Weiguo walked over and knocked on the door.

After a while, the man in the concierge heard the noise and came to open the door. It was the old man and his two sons who had been waiting for a long time.

When Old Fu and his son opened the door and saw Li Weiguo coming, they felt happy and quickly whispered hello and invited him to enter the hospital.

This courtyard has always been their hidden trading place. When there is no trading, it is the second son of the Fu family to live in. When the trading time comes, the second son of the Fu family will let his wife and children temporarily return to the old man's old house. One day, free up this place for trading.

Now it's trading time, the wife and children of the second child of the Fu family are not there, only the old Fu father and son are here waiting for Li Weiguo to come over.

After entering the courtyard, Li Weiguo carefully scanned the circle with his mind to confirm that it was safe, and then asked: "Master Fu, are you all ready for this month's supplies?"

"Master Li, don't worry, everything is ready, please come inside." The old man bowed with a smile, stretched out his hand, and asked him to go to the main room of the middle courtyard to check and accept the things.

Li Weiguo nodded, and walked in with the father and son.

After entering the main room, the old man did not turn on the lights. He still followed the rules of black market transactions. He only lit a lantern and placed it in the main room. With the dim light, he asked his two sons to move things.

The two sons of the Fu family took the order and quickly moved out two camphor wood boxes, one large and one small, from the bedroom on the right.

The big box was lighter, so the two sons of the Fu family put it directly on the dining table in the main room, while the small box was heavier, and they put it directly on the ground with a "clang".

When the two boxes were brought up, the old Fu smiled and said, "Master Li, all the things I received this month are here, and there are quite a few high-quality goods. You are satisfied with the safekeeping."

As he spoke, Old Fu took the lead in opening the lid of the big box, and took a flashlight to shine a light inside, revealing the contents inside.

Li Weiguo followed the light of the flashlight, fixed his eyes, and then showed a satisfied smile.

The things in the box are really diverse. There are dozens of large items, mostly small items, and everything is exquisite.

There are snuff bottles, Tianhuang stone, chicken blood stone, porcelain, gilt hairpins, jade wrench fingers, top beads, etc. There are many types.

Of course, there are also a few larger jade ornaments, which are also rare and good things.

"Master Li, this is the list of things that have been collected for you this month, please have a look." Then, the old Fu handed over the list in his hand.

Li Weiguo took it with a nod, and looked carefully under the light of the flashlight.

Jade cabbage ornament (18 cm long, 9 cm wide, 5 cm thick), purchased for RMB 350;

Jade-carved begonia-style flower goblet ornaments, purchased for 160 yuan;

Flower inserts with green carvings of flowers and birds were purchased for RMB 140;

A Hetian jade gilt hairpin, the purchase price is 33 yuan;
A pair of Hongwu blue and white jade pots and spring vases with entwined branches and peony patterns, purchased for 85 yuan;
Three bloodstone embryo stones, the purchase price is 120 yuan;

Four pieces of Tianhuang stone embryo were purchased for 280 yuan;

Clear red agate light element snuff bottle, the purchase price is 40 yuan;

Qinghua enamel snuff bottle with Western characters, the purchase price is 45 yuan;
Copper body painting enamel snuff bottle, the purchase price is 48 yuan;

There are 300 top beads ([-]th grade to [-]th grade) of officials in the Qing Dynasty, and the purchase price is [-] yuan;

After Lin Lin's total calculation, there were a total of 72 items in the box, which cost a total of more than 900 yuan.

Li Weiguo nodded in satisfaction, expressing his approval of the old Fu's gains this month. Such old objects, if they are placed in future generations, any one of them will be worth more than a million dollars, which shows the sharpness of the old Fu's vision.

In particular, there is actually a pair of three-color pots with flower patterns and phoenix heads inside.

Good guy, Li Weiguo's eyes popped out when he saw this treasure.

A phoenix-head pot with floral patterns in Tang Sancai. If it were preserved in later generations, the starting price would be 500 million yuan, and the transaction price would generally be 3000 to [-] million yuan.

Finally, Li Weiguo took a look at the list and said, OK, the purchase price: 100 yuan per pair.

After total calculation, a Tang Sancai is only 50 yuan, which is really a big mistake. I don’t know which wasteful thing is so harmful to the family fortune left by our ancestors.

However, misfortunes are inevitable. If there were no misfortunes, it would not be Li Weiguo's turn to take advantage.

"Yes, Mr. Fu, your harvest this month is much better than before, and you must continue to maintain it." Li Weiguo folded the list with a smile and put it in his arms. At the same time, he did not forget to encourage Mr. Fu and let him keep up his efforts. .

"Yes, Master Li, don't worry, your errands will not be slack for you." The old man smiled and bowed in response.

He will definitely not slack off when it comes to making money, and every time he purchases a high-quality product, his major customer will give him a five-dollar commission.

After a month, just by purchasing these items, he can easily earn three or four hundred.

If you are lucky, it is not impossible to earn 500 yuan a month. If you ask him to take a break from such a lucrative job, he will not stop.

After looking at the treasures in the big box, Old Fu leaned over and opened the small box on the ground for him.

There were not many things in the small box, but they were all neatly packed gold. There were six large yellow croakers and forty small yellow croakers in total, which looked golden under the light of the flashlight.

Based on the price of two thousand yuan for a large yellow croaker and two hundred for a small yellow croaker, the gold here is worth 2 yuan. Li Weiguo specifically asked Lao Fu to help exchange for these.

In the past two years, relying on the sales of materials from the rolling mill and the pigeon market, Li Weiguo has accumulated more and more big black ten in his hands. It is useless to keep these big black ten in his hands. He couldn't go out, so Li Weiguo took out a lot of cash and asked Lao Fu to help him exchange it into gold.

Due to the control of gold in China, the elderly and the young cannot spend it even if they have gold in their hands. They take it to the bank and exchange it according to the real-time gold price and suffer a loss. Therefore, they hit it off and relied on the price advantage. In the past two years, Lao Fu has really I helped him change a lot.

After dozens of replacements over the years, Li Weiguo has saved more than 220 large yellow croakers and more than 800 small yellow croakers in his space, with a total value of more than 60. In addition, there are more than 700 exquisite collections, which almost cost him The vast majority of cash.

He casually glanced at the gold in the box and confirmed that the quantity was correct. Li Weiguo didn't look at it any more, then closed the box, and then took out thirty stacks of big black ten from his satchel and put them on the table for the old man.

The old Fu just glanced at it briefly, without counting it in detail, and put the money away with a smile and handed it to the eldest son beside him.

One stack is one thousand, and thirty stacks is thirty thousand. Excluding the transaction payment of 4000 yuan this time, the excess will be directly used as funds for the next acquisition. If there is not enough, Lao Fu will pay in advance temporarily, and Li Wei will give it to him when he comes back next time. In conclusion, after so many cooperations, everyone has formed a tacit understanding.

After the transaction was completed, the three of Lao Fu, father and son couldn't help being overjoyed. Although there were many transactions, they were still very happy every time they got the money in their hands. Being a middleman in a month can earn thousands of dollars in benefits. , simply don't be too cool.

After feeling happy, the old man rubbed his hands and looked at Li Weiguo, but he hesitated to speak.

When Li Weiguo saw him like this, he knew that he was struggling with supplies, but he still pretended not to know and asked.

"Master Fu, we are old friends. If you have something to say, just say it. Why do you have to act like a little girl?"

Old Fu smiled embarrassingly, apologized, and then revealed his purpose.

"Master Li, it's like this. Recently, supplies have become more and more scarce. Fresh meat and eggs are not available on the market. Many old people and children can't stand this hard life, so they are all asking me if there is any way to get some meat. Or eggs, you see"

After finishing speaking, Old Fu looked at Li Weiguo apprehensively, and even the eldest and second child of the Fu family next to him looked expectant.

Since Li Weiguo provided them with supplies once last fall, considering safety, all supplies to them were stopped and have not been restored.

Now there is no supply of fresh meat and fresh eggs on the market, not to mention the other survivors, Rao Fu and his family are in a good condition, and they can't bear this hard life.

According to the quota for a month, the family can only buy a few tins of canned meat at the supply and marketing cooperative, which is not enough to taste, and a bird really fades out of the mouth.

Li Weiguo smiled, said nothing, touched his chin, pretended to think about it, and after a moment, he replied to them: "Master Fu, there are meat and eggs, but they don't charge money. All they need is gold and all kinds of high-quality old food." Object, can you accept it?"

Li Weiguo, who is short of money, is no longer short of money. Although he has also stopped the supply of hamsters in Pigeon City, Li Huaide of the steel rolling mill can still provide him with a lot of funds every month.

It's useless to ask for so much cash, and it's hard to spend it. In the end, I still have to exchange it with the old man for gold and various old objects. I might as well just let those old and young people exchange things directly, which happens to be a good harvest. .
