The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Li Huaide's team is obviously very familiar with the transaction process.

After confirming the safety of the environment, we entered the yard. There was no nonsense throughout the process. Points were counted, weighing was weighed, and everyone took action according to their division of labor.

With the concerted efforts of seven or eight people, it only took about 20 minutes to count and load tens of thousands of kilograms of supplies into the truck.

After loading the car, the leading middle-aged man recorded the data in his notebook, then sent everyone into the car and entered the main room carrying a briefcase.

After entering the house, as usual, the middle-aged man first glanced around carefully.

After confirming that no one was in the room, he placed his briefcase on the table and left without any hesitation.

Li Huaide's men came and went quickly. In the blink of an eye, the two trucks disappeared, leaving only an empty and silent courtyard, as if no one had ever been there.

Once Li Huaide's men were gone, Li Weiguo, who was hiding outside the main courtyard wall, had completed his mission.

Over the years, he and Li Huaide have formed a fixed tacit understanding in their transactions. Neither party will personally end the deal. The materials will be transported to this small courtyard by Li Weiguo at the agreed time, and then Li Huaide's personnel will come to count and transport them away.

As long as the quantity and quality are checked and confirmed, the money receipt can be left directly to the main room. There will be no contact with everyone throughout the process, which can be regarded as ensuring the safety of both parties to the greatest extent.

After completing the transaction, Li Weiguo made a thought and cast his thoughts on the briefcase through the courtyard wall. He put the briefcase into the space in an instant, and then with a casual sweep of his thoughts, he counted the cash in the bag clearly.

The bag contained 17,200 yuan, which was the payment for this transaction.

Although there is a lot of money, Li Weiguo doesn't care much about it. Now he has no shortage of it. The reason why he still maintains the deal with Li Huaide is just to maintain the political cooperation between them. After all, there will be wind and thunder soon. Well, it is still necessary to have someone with enough weight in front to protect him from the wind and rain.

After putting away his things, Li Weiguo didn't intend to stay here for long. He waved his hand and released the bicycle again.

However, he was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he determined the direction, turned his head, and rode straight towards the root of the old imperial city in the West City.

He came out this time not only to deliver supplies to Li Huaide, but also to go to Xicheng to find Lao Fu.

Over the years, Lao Fu has been doing his best to help him buy all kinds of good things in the circle of the old and the young. Now he is about to face a change. Out of caution, he still has to notify Lao Fu to deal with some problems quickly, so as not to be in trouble. Old Fu's family suffered along with it.

After leaving Dongzhimen Street, under the faint moonlight, Li Weiguo braved the biting cold wind and rushed all the way, and soon arrived near the ghost market.

When they arrived at the ghost market, Li Weiguo did not go in. He just glanced at it from a distance and walked away.

Nowadays, the weather is freezing, and the ghost market has become much more depressed. There are only a dozen or so dim lights in the long stretch at the foot of the old imperial city, which is not very popular.

In addition, the most difficult three years have passed, and there are not so many old people and young people who are anxious to sell money in exchange for tickets, so there are basically no good things in the ghost market, and it is not worth his energy to go there alone.

After bypassing the ghost market, he continued riding for two or three minutes. Soon, he arrived at the second-entry courtyard where he had been doing business with Lao Fu.

When he arrived at the end of the field, Li Weiguo looked around, waved his hand to put the car into the space, and then walked over and knocked on the door.

Several "dong dong dong" knocks were heard on the door. After a while, the person sleeping in the concierge heard the noise and came over to open the door.

The door creaked open, and it was Lao Fu's second son who came to open the door.

When the second son of the Fu family opened the door and saw Li Weiguo coming, he felt happy and quickly called out "Master Li" in a low voice.

Li Weiguo nodded and said "hmm" as a greeting, and then followed him into the hospital.

After entering the yard, not long after, Lao Fu and the eldest son of the Fu family, who were sleeping in the main room, woke up when they heard the door opening in the front yard. They quickly got dressed and came over to greet them.

"Master Li."×2

"Well, let's talk in the room."

"Hey, okay, Mr. Li, please come to your room." The old man bowed, stretched out his hand, and invited him into the room.

Li Weiguo nodded and followed the three of them into the house.

After entering the main room, Lao Fu and his son didn't talk nonsense. They had been working together for so many years and were already familiar with the process, so they moved two camphor wood boxes from the next bedroom in a hurry.

The box was moved and opened. With the light of the flashlight, Li Weiguo could easily see the contents of the box.

There are a lot of things inside, the two boxes add up to about seventy or eighty items, all of which are old items that Lao Fu and his son have bought for him recently.

There are porcelains from various dynasties and dynasties, as well as some lacquerware ornaments, and some jewelry and jades.

It's a pity that when Li Weiguo picked it up and took a closer look, he found that the quality of the recovered objects was average compared to before, and few of them could be considered high-quality.

After just a few glances, Li Weiguo lost interest and put the things back into the box.

Perhaps because they knew that the items collected this time would not make it onto the table, the three of them, Old Fu and his son, bowed with a bit of embarrassment on their faces.

Seeing that Li Weiguo didn't speak at last, the old man had to bite the bullet and explain: "Master Li, I'm sorry, there are not a lot of good things recently, it's not easy to collect, the quality is a bit low, please forgive me, I will add more later." I’ll try to find out more for you.”

There was no way, in fact, in the past year, their task of acquiring old objects had gone from bad to worse. Until now, they had not received a few good items. In order to avoid the displeasure of the rich man Li Weiguo, they had no choice but to admit their mistake first. When Li Weiguo heard this, he just waved his hand and did not blame the three father and son. In fact, he had expected this situation.

The old man has been helping him buy and sell old items for five or six years, and has helped him get almost 40,000 to 50,000 items.

He has basically bought everything that can be bought and exchanged on the market. It is estimated that the old and young will not take out the treasures that cannot be exchanged easily.

After all, the three-year famine has passed, and it is not that difficult for everyone anymore, and the elderly and the young will not lose all their wealth just for a little food.

"Okay, Master Fu, you don't have to worry about it. The reason why good things are good is because they are scarce. If there are good things every time, then they won't be valuable."

At this point, Li Weiguo took the opportunity to tell them about the next arrangements: "By the way, Mr. Fu, let's stop the work of buying and selling old items. After this transaction, I will not come here again in the future. .”

"This Mr. Li, I, we"

The three of them, Lao Fu and his son, were really anxious now. They thought that they had not done their errand well and had offended their patrons, so they hurriedly wanted to explain.

However, Li Weiguo interrupted them with a wave of his hand: "Master Fu, don't worry, it's not your fault."

"Our business has been out of business recently!"

"What.?!"

When Old Fu and his son heard this, they were shocked. Naturally, they were very concerned about all kinds of troubles.

Not knowing whether what he said was true or not, Lao Fu and his boss and his second son looked at each other, then quickly came over and asked in a low voice: "Master Li, have you heard anything?"

Li Weiguo didn't intend to hide it from them. He nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, you should try to keep a low profile for the next period of time."

"In addition, if Mr. Fu, you have someone you don't want to deal with, and you also know that you are doing business secretly, you'd better find a way to deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise you will end up in endless trouble!"

In any case, Lao Fu and his family have helped him a lot over the years, and they have always done their part. Li Weiguo doesn't want to see them suffer in the future, so he still has to remind him as much as he can.

As for the final result, it all depends on their own destiny.

"What?! This, this."

The hearts of Lao Fu and his son were all trembling. If the news was too sudden and they didn't believe it just now, now they are almost convinced.

This all involves dealing with people who can't be dealt with, which shows that the matter is really not small.

"Master Li, can you tell me a little bit about the specific situation?"

The three of them, Old Fu and his son, were so panicked by what he said that they all looked over eagerly, eager to get some inside information from him.

However, how could Li Weiguo explain clearly to them what had not happened yet? He could only shake his head and ponder for a few seconds pretending to be mysterious.

When Old Fu and his son saw this, their hearts suddenly lifted. Although they didn't know what he meant, they didn't dare to be careless.

After all, Li Weiguo must be extremely powerful if he can grow his business on such a large scale, and they would not be surprised to get some news from the top.

After thinking about it, the old man carefully tested it: "Master Li, is it really that serious? We haven't heard any special disturbance recently?"

Li Weiguo pondered for two seconds and replied: "Master Fu, there are some things that ordinary people cannot know. If you believe me, just do as I say."

"Besides, you have earned a lot over the years. Find a time to hide your family property in a safe and hidden place as soon as possible. Don't leave it at home!"

Lao Fu and his family have been working with him for five or six years. Over the years, they have earned anywhere from 300,000 to 200,000 yuan.

He has never exposed his identity in front of Lao Fu and his family, but he is not worried that Lao Fu will pull him out, but it may be a pity for Lao Fu and his family.

When the old man heard that the matter was so serious, he no longer had the intention to think about future business matters and nodded in agreement.

After warning Lao Fu and his son, the atmosphere in the room became much more serious.

Everyone had no intention of talking about anything else. They quickly checked the quantity and price of the two boxes of old items, and then began to settle the final payment.

Since this batch of old objects are not high-quality products, their value is not high, and they only cost less than a thousand yuan in total.

Li Weiguo didn't bother to argue with the old man about the three melons and two dates. He directly reached into his pocket and with a thought, he took out a stack of one hundred big black tens from the space and handed it to the old man.

After settling the final payment, Li Weiguo, Lao Fu and his son said "take care", then picked up two large boxes and left without looking back.

At this point, Li Weiguo's purchase of old objects through Lao Fu has been successfully concluded.
