Chapter 73 Zhu Bai and Jin Xing

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the entire Little Antique Street is completely plunged into darkness. For some reason, there are very few cars and people passing through Little Antique Street on this day, and even most of the street lights on the roadside are turned off for some reason , it seems even more deserted.

The Jinshi Museum is located in the middle of the Small Antique Street, which is a good location, so the business is also good. Of course, in the circle of the Small Antique Street, there have always been rumors that many of the antiques it sells are high imitations. One thing is willing to buy and the other is willing to sell, even if it is a fake product, so what?
It's not that there are no customers coming to the door, but in the end they can only let it go, and some people say that the owner of this store has unexplained contacts with some people in the society, and some angry customers can only Just swallow it.

In the Jinshi Pavilion, only one light was on, and below it was a square table with several pots of appetizers. Sitting opposite was Zhu Bai from Boshizhai, and Jin Xing from Jinshizhai.

"squeak!"

Zhu Bai raised his head, poured all the wine in the small cup in his hand into his mouth, then smacked his lips, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "It's cool, it's really cool. Lao Jin, thank you very much this time." gone."

After changing hands of Boshizhai, Zhu Bai found Jin Xing and repaid the usury owed to Song Min through his relationship—of course, it could not be 390 million, but 150 million. Naturally it is good.

"Heh, we've been friends for many years, how can I thank you?"

Picking up the wine glass, Jin Xing and Zhu Bai touched each other, then picked up a peanut and threw it into their mouths, chewing vigorously.

"However, Lao Zhu, having said that, you played really well this time. 200 million sold all the antiques in the store, which is really high!"

He and Zhu Bai have been old friends for many years, so how could he not know what kind of goods are in Zhu Bai's shop?And a lot of fake products were taken from me. If you really want to say that the things there are not even worth 50 yuan, they sold 200 million yuan in the end. This is already quite a remarkable thing.It is precisely because of this that he will say so.

"Hee hee, you're right. At the beginning, I was just asking a price, because I could see that girl Zhou Yafang wanted to take over the store earlier, so she asked for a lot of prices, and finally lowered the price. One click, and the deal will be done immediately."

Zhu Bai was also very proud, he thought that he was going to die this time, but he didn't expect to make a small profit.

"Maybe I still have a day to make a comeback."

Now I still have a little capital in my hands, as long as I operate well, with my many years of experience in the antique collection industry, who said that I won't make a big comeback again?

"It's strange, Zhou Yafang is also an expert in our little antique street, how could you be fooled?"

They are all people who hang out in the Antique Street. Jin Xing naturally knows what kind of skills Zhou Yafang has. Logically speaking, it is not easy for Zhu Bai to lie to her, but this thing really happened to him abruptly. in front of.

Spreading his hands, Zhu Bai said: "The chick went crazy for some reason and threw the whole thing to the young man named Fang Ming who just came to the store. Do you think I can't be cruel in such a situation?" ? Or do you want to forgive me?"

Jin Xing nodded, and said: "So that's what happened. However, I heard that although the kid just came here, he made a mistake before."

"You're talking about that kid Jianghua, right?"

The fact that Fang Ming picked up a leak from Jiang Hua has slowly spread, and Zhu Bai has heard of it, but he continued to say indifferently: "It's hard to say whether it's true or not, so what if it's true? Like? This kind of thing can never be repeated, that kid is a novice, even if he can pick up the leak once, can he pick up the leak twice?"

"Damn, when it comes to this matter, I feel that I was not calm at the time."

He picked up a chicken paw and gnawed it hard, as if it was Fang Ming. After spitting out a lot of bones, Zhu Bai continued: "The boy came to my shop to appraise antiques, and when he picked up one, he said whether he wanted it or not. If you want to talk about how much money, the speed is really fast, the kind that you can pass by at a glance. You know that most of the things in my store are fake, especially after I decided to sell the store. I removed a batch of good things, then The kid’s speed frightened me, so in the end, I decided not to let him appraise it, and bought it for 200 million.”

"Now that I think about it, I'm too restless. That kid's so-called appraisal was probably messed up. How can anyone appraise antiques like this?"

Jin Xing also laughed when he heard it, nodded, and said, "I said, Lao Zhu, you have been rolling around all your life, and it is really unreasonable to be bluffed by him."

"Snapped!"

Zhu Bai patted his face lightly, and then said: "Yes, that's right, it's really unforgivable to talk about this, or maybe we can get another million or hundreds of thousands more?" .”

"Forget it, it's not bad anyway, and 200 million is already a good price."

Jin Xing poured the wine for Zhu Bai, and then said: "That chick Zhou Yafang went crazy, and then sold two stores. Besides yours, He Lin's is also sold, and it is under renovation. Things are weird."

They are all people who have spent their whole lives in the arena. Jin Xing believes that there must be a reason for Zhou Yafang's actions. He has been thinking about this matter for a long time, but he can't think of a reason. This is actually why he asked Zhu Bai to drink with him tonight the real reason.

Speaking of this, Zhu Bai also frowned. Zhou Yafang has actually demonstrated his ability in the Antique Street in the past few years. The ability of a beautiful woman is absolutely extraordinary. If the overall sales environment of the Antique Street is declining, she dares to sell such a large store. If it is not a momentary fever, there must be a reason.

Shaking his head, Zhu Bai said: "Before, because of loan sharks, I only wanted to sell the store as soon as possible, and didn't think much about it. Now that I think about it, it's really a little strange."

This question caused Zhu Bai and Jin Xing to fall into silence for a while, and even lost their interest in drinking.

Suddenly, Jin Xing's cell phone rang, which was harsh in the silent shop.After answering the phone, Jin Xing's face suddenly darkened.

"Old Zhu, you really lost money this time."

Zhu Bai was taken aback for a moment, and quickly said, "What's wrong? What's the matter?"

"We have a treasure appraising conference in Ningdong City, you know about it?"

Zhu Bai's mood had already been disturbed by Jin Xing's previous words, and now he was even more anxious when he heard him say this, saying: "Old Jin, what are you talking about? What a mess, how can I not know about this treasure appraising conference?"

"In the past, the treasure appraisal conference was just for the organizer to find a place for everyone to gather, but this year is different."

Jin Xing's words made Zhu Bai feel more and more bad, "Old Jin, can't you finish talking at once?"

"This year's Appraisal of Treasures Conference is held in Small Antique Street, and the time is relatively long, at least 10 days or more."

Zhu Bai felt as if a bolt of lightning struck his head!

"This... this... is it true?"

Jin Xing nodded and said, "Yes, and I heard that there will be a press conference tomorrow, so it must be true, and I can't run away."

Jin Xing did not say where his news came from, but Zhu Bai seemed to know it must be true.After a while, he came back to his senses and said with a wry smile: "So that's the case. I said why Zhou Yafang was in such a hurry to sell my shop. It seems that he already knew the news!"

"It must be so."

Jin Xing's complexion is also not good. The first one is that Zhou Yafang must have made a big move when she sold the store. It turns out that she is already a strong competitor. Now it seems that she must use this time's treasure As the conference expands its influence, it is conceivable that it will cause even more headaches in the future - colleagues are enemies, and if Zhou Yafang becomes stronger, won't he be at a disadvantage?The second and more important thing is that from this incident, he saw that Zhou Yafang was much more informed than himself!
No matter what line of work you are in, being well-informed is very important. Zhou Yafang's actions obviously have received the news long ago, and she only knows the news now, which means that she is "backward"!

"Damn it! I really thought it would be like this, no, I have to settle accounts with her tomorrow!"

Zhu Bai slapped the table hard, his face flushed red after drinking, and a fierce light appeared in his widened eyes.

Jin Xing smiled bitterly, and said, "What can you do to her? You are willing to sell the store, and the money has been collected. What's the use of talking about it now?"

"This one……"

Zhu Bai was speechless all of a sudden, no matter how he talked about this matter, he couldn't make up his mind, even if he went to the door, how could he be like this?

Could it be that because I didn't receive the news, it was cheaper to sell it before, but now I don't want to sell it?
No matter where such a lawsuit is hit, I can't win it.

"Alas! It seems that Zhou Yafang is not a simple character."

The Treasure Appraisal Conference was held in Small Antique Street, and it was of such a large scale, one can imagine how much pulling effect it would bring. Zhou Yafang increased investment at this time. Although the risk is great, the benefits are also very likely big!

Both Zhu Bai and Jin Xing have been in business for a lifetime, and both Zhu Bai and Jin Xing have seen the tricks in it, but no matter whether it is Zhu Bai or Jin Xing, even if they want to stop Zhou Yafang, they can't stop them.

"Hmph! No matter what you say, I let Zhou Yafang give Zhou Yafang a big eye! I sold those fakes to them for 200 million, I deserve it!"
