Chapter 33
Seeing that Anthony seemed really not angry, Owen made up his mind.He hurriedly approached the window and looked down.

I saw five long tables on the grass in the middle of the "Zuixianglou" compound, and six objects of different sizes were placed on each table.Those things seem to be wrapped in a uniform curtain, and they all look the same color.But after all, they were far away, and even with Anthony's eyesight, it was difficult to see what they were all about.

Owen is already a regular visitor here, oh no, this is his home at all.Anyway, he knew the situation of Zuixianglou well, just glanced at it, and immediately understood what was going on there.

"Oh, those people are guessing treasure." Owen said with a slight smile.

"Guess what?" Anthony had never heard the word before.

"That's right, it's Guess Treasure." Owen said with certainty, "Look, the things placed on the five tables in the middle of the compound are so-called 'treasures'. However, is it Big Treasure, Little Treasure, or a To pile up garbage, it depends on the luck of the guests."

"That is to say, there may be priceless treasures inside, or it may be worthless stones. What you get depends on your luck. Is that so?" Anthony asked with interest.

Owen nodded, pointed to a big fat man below, and said, "I know this boss, and he is honest in his business. Every time he guesses the treasure, there are at least three or two things in it that can be regarded as 'treasures'. In fact, this We also operate the business of Guaibao, but sometimes we rent out the venue to acquainted customers, so that the customers can also experience the addiction of being a boss. Who knows that it is very popular, whether it is a boss or The guests of Guaibao are very enthusiastic and enthusiastic. Now we simply withdraw and let the guests go to play by themselves.”

Anthony squeezed his chin and said thoughtfully: "For a big business like Hilton, the Guaibao business is not easy to make money. If you earn too much, the customers are not satisfied. You may resent the family, and you will not patronize the business under the family name in the future." , but the gain outweighs the loss; if the profit is less, the customers are satisfied, but this business is boring. It is better to let the guests entertain themselves. Hilton can not only extract the rent, but also gather popularity, which makes the business of Zuixiang Building even more popular. "

Owen looked back at him with surprise on his face: "Brother, you are amazing. This idea was discussed by several very business-minded and experienced shopkeepers in the family. Once it was proposed at that time, the senior members of the family were all They applauded repeatedly and praised the shopkeepers for their cleverness. Unexpectedly, my brother, you can see the key point just after listening to my simple introduction. It seems that even if you are in business, you must be a good hand."

In the Hilton family, everyone else is called Anthony "Mr."Only Owen and Elder Andres called him "brother".Well, elders are more often called "little guys".

Anthony gave him a blank look, and said: "Stop flattering me. People came up with ideas out of thin air, but I saw the result and then deduced the reason. It is easy to see which is difficult and which is easy. How can I compare with others. Alright, Don't just stand there stupidly, go down and have a look."

With that said, he had put down his wine glass and walked downstairs.

Owen hurriedly followed, muttering to himself, "Even if it was easier, it would be hard to come by. I remember that after the resolution came out, many people didn't see it. Well, including me."

In the courtyard, the long table was already full of people, and the scene was quite lively.

Seeing Owen approaching, the big fat boss hurried up to greet him.After all, it is doing business in someone else's place, so it is essential to have a good relationship with this young owner.

"Viscount Owen, long time no see." The boss greeted Owen from a long distance away.

When Owen saw him, he turned up his face: "Well, you fat man, you are living in my place, and you dare to cheat me. Last time I spent 100 taels of silver, and I bought a broken stone back. You say, How should this account be settled?"

The cheerful smile of the fat boss collapsed in an instant: "Viscount Owen, Master Owen, this is none of my business. You also said that time, 'I have bad luck recently, and my hands are a bit smelly'. So..."

Owen couldn't hold back his old face anymore, he grabbed the fat man by his collar and brought his face close to him, their noses almost touched together: "I don't care, you screwed me up last time, this time you must give me Some compensation. How about this, I won’t make things difficult for you, you can give me a [-]% discount on the cost of Guess Bao today.”

The fat boss' facial features were all wrinkled together, like a dried bitter melon: "My young master Owen, Grandpa Owen, please let me go. I'm a small business, and I'm going to lose [-]% off. How about a [-]% off?"

"[-]% off!"

"[-]% off?"

"[-]% off! Fatty, stop haggling with me. Otherwise, I will let Old John take over your place, and you can set up a stall elsewhere." Owen looked annoyed.

The fat man agreed aggrievedly: "Okay, then [-]% off."

Owen immediately changed his smiling face, put his hand on the fat man's shoulder, and said affectionately: "That's right, we are old acquaintances, there should be some discount."

The fat boss also seemed to have mastered the unique skill of changing faces in Sichuan, and his bitter melon face instantly changed to Nilefo: "That is. It is my good fortune that Master Owen is willing to take care of my business. I wish you good luck today, guess what?" Jackpot."

The two hooked their shoulders, talking and laughing happily, as if it was someone else who had quarreled so much that they almost got into a fight just now.

Anthony couldn't help sighing, could this be the true face of a businessman?
Of course, Owen would not neglect the family's big celebrity, and introduced to the fat boss: "Today I mainly come to play with brother Anthony. You should pay attention, fat man, as long as you let my brother have fun, it will be to your benefit."

Anthony nodded to the fat boss as a greeting.The fat boss hurriedly bowed his hand in return.

Some time ago, the "Hilton worship" incident spread throughout the entire city of Edinburgh.Business people pay attention to being well-informed, and the fat boss naturally heard about it.Now after hearing Owen's introduction, combined with the young master of the Hilton family's attitude towards him and his extremely immature age, the fat boss immediately matched him with the rumors.

Really too young.I don't know if the strength is as strong as the rumors.

Of course, this is purely caused by his gossip mentality, and this issue is not something that a small businessman like him should worry about.

The fat boss led the way respectfully, and Anthony and the two followed him and came to those tables.

Guess the treasure process is very simple.

The boss puts everything on the long table and marks the price for customers to choose.The guest chooses an item, pays the money, and can take it down.As for whether that thing is a treasure or a waste, it depends on everyone's luck.

Of course, there are other rules here.

For example, things can only be seen, not touched.The cloth curtain wrapped outside is also a kind of magic material, which can isolate the spiritual power fluctuations of treasures, and can also block the perception and exploration of experts.

As another example, even if an item is selected, it cannot be taken away or opened immediately.We have to wait for a buyer to decide on everything before we open it together.This rule is because everyone understands that guessing treasures means that there are treasures and wastes.If the first few pieces opened are all "treasures", then the rest must be rubbish, and they will never be sold again.

If there are many people who are interested in an item, they will bid at the same time, and the one with the highest price will win.However, such situations generally rarely occur.After all, you can't tell whether something is good or bad from the outside, so why bother bidding.

Today Anthony is going out to play and relax, so it is natural to join in such excitement.Besides, he had never heard of such a thing as Guessing Treasure before, so it should be regarded as a game.

Soon, Anthony selected a fist-sized object.Look at the price tag, it's 90 taels of silver.

When choosing this "treasure", Anthony noticed that the fat boss on the opposite side was winking at him, and his round head shook imperceptibly.

However, Anthony ignored it.

Anyway, with such a street stall, no one expects to really sell any priceless treasures, and everyone just wants to have fun.What does it matter what is opened.

Soon, Owen also selected one.

The fat boss looked around, and all the items had been ordered.He cheerfully collected the money one by one, and then, the last and most exciting part:

"Open the treasure!"
