Chapter 33

When I was having dinner with Liu Yuliang yesterday, I heard him mention that the ghost market in Xiangjiang Island in the early morning is quite good. People often pick up things here. Out of a professional habit, Qin Zhouxu decided to get up early and try his luck.

.

Sure enough, it was only around 4 o'clock in the morning, and the ghost market on Xiangjiang Island was already densely packed with people. Qin Zhouxu did not find out the reality, but just followed others silently without saying a word, quietly looking at the people trading.

.

Although it was early in the morning, everyone seemed to be in high spirits, especially the sellers. Once someone passed by, they would show off their treasures vigorously. Qin Zhouxu was pulled to the stall by a seller and talked for a long time. Qin Zhouxu

Although I only took a few glances, I have concluded that most of the things on this stall are fakes.

Although Qin Zhouxu had no intention of taking action, he was still pulled and brainwashed, "Awesome, this is better than the businessmen of Huaxia. Sure enough, it seems that it is very difficult to go to foreign countries to find treasures."

It’s clear, these grandsons are too thieves.”

Of course, there are still many people who have completed transactions here, some talking loudly, and some making a deal with a price in their sleeves. Qin Zhouxu shook his head, it seems that it is not easy to find treasures here.

He took a few more steps forward, and if he still couldn't find the treasure he wanted, he was ready to go home. In a corner, there was a neatly dressed old man, who was sitting there quietly without making any noise or fuss.

There was a pile of ancient books in front of me.

"It seems that he is a collector of rare ancient books. Unfortunately, the documentary value of this kind of thing is much greater than the artistic value. It is usually collected in museums. It is difficult to keep it if you collect it yourself. Secondly, it has no potential for appreciation." Qin Zhou glanced blankly.

After a few glances, I found that this old man really stood out from the crowd.

He shook his head and was about to go back to the hotel to pack his things when he suddenly heard Lei Ze's voice, "Boy, something is wrong. I feel like there is a treasure in this place."

The treasure in Lei Ze's mind is completely different from that in Qin Zhouxu's mind. In comparison, what Lei Ze values ​​​​is more valuable, and it is by no means limited to economic value.

Qin Zhouxu might not take it to heart if others said this, but Lei Ze had just demonstrated the great power of the Five Elements Taotie Cauldron to him yesterday, and Qin Zhouxu now began to have a little blind worship of Lei Ze.

Qin Zhouxu squatted on the ground and pretended to look through the old man's collection seriously. In fact, he had discovered that most of these books were printed copies and were not of high value. If he really wanted to sell them, he probably wouldn't be able to sell them for a good price.

The old man didn't seem to care, nor did he recommend it. He just let Qin Zhouxu look through it, which surprised Qin Zhouxu. Most sellers don't try their best to sell you. They want you to take away everything in front of them.

good.

Qin Zhouxu flipped through the pages carefully. He mainly wanted Lei Ze to find the book that had the feeling. Lei Ze didn't need to read the content in the book. He just felt that the feeling was getting stronger and stronger, and he should be able to find it soon.

.

As soon as Qin Zhouxu's fingers touched an old book with slightly curled edges, Lei Ze suddenly shouted in his heart, "Slow down, if nothing else, it's this book. You can jump out of this book alone."

Let me try."

Qin Zhouxu suppressed the excitement in his heart, took out the book, and then pretended to study it carefully. For about a minute, Lei Ze's voice became trembling, "Yes, it's this book.

Boy, your luck is really good, take it, the value of this book is no less than the Five Elements Taotie Cauldron."

Qin Zhouxu was ecstatic. He had already made up his mind to take the book home, but he deliberately flipped through it and threw it back into the pile. Then he picked up a medical book written in stone from the late Qing Dynasty, and then started to trick the old man. magnetic.

"Master, how much is this book?" The old man glanced at the book cover and said, "2,000 yuan." Qin Zhouxu thought to himself that the old man was not a bad guy, and the price was quite reasonable, but for people who play antiques, even if the other party pays a piece You have to deal with him when it comes to money. This is a professional habit.

"No, Master Hui, this is a stone engraving, not a manuscript, and medical books are relatively niche. I'll give you a price, 1,600, and I'll take it directly." Qin Zhouxu reduced the book to nothing. value, and then set a price casually.

The old man refused flatly, saying that he would not consider it if it was less than 2,000 yuan. Qin Zhouxu kept insisting on it, and finally got a deal of 1,800 yuan. Qin Zhouxu saw that the old man had no patience anymore, so he proposed to exchange the old book with this one. Take the books together, and the total is three thousand yuan.

The old man told Qin Zhouxu that the asking price of the old book was one thousand five thousand. The two books together were originally going to be sold for three thousand five thousand. Forget it, seeing that Qin Zhouxu was sincere, the minimum price was three thousand two thousand.

Qin Zhouxu thought for a while and paid the money readily. In fact, at his level, it would be no problem to cut it to three thousand yuan. However, Qin Zhouxu also had his own considerations. It was not easy for the old man to get up so early, and It is also not good to do things without leaving any room for oneself to take advantage of others.

After watching the whole transaction process, Lei Ze admired, "You are so cunning, you are born to be a good businessman, you are such a thief." Lei Ze was very sarcastic towards Qin Zhouxu, Qin Zhouxu But he didn't say anything back.

He smiled bitterly. Qin Zhouxu found that he could never be ruthless. He originally had no father and son in the business world, but he always liked to leave others a leeway. Mr. Shan had taught him that in the collection world, if you are not ruthless, you should stand firm. If you want to pick up the slack if you are not stable, just use three words: steady, accurate, and ruthless.

The two had their own concerns, but they still returned to the hotel together. Lei Ze originally wanted to study the mysteries in this book with Qin Zhouxu, but unfortunately it was almost time. If he didn't leave, he might not be able to catch the plane back home.

Qin Zhouxu hurriedly packed his luggage and rushed to the airport. He had been out for a long time, and he really wished he could have wings on his back and fly back to China one day earlier.

Although Lei Ze was very dissatisfied with Qin Zhouxu's unprogressive approach, he had no choice but to follow Qin Zhouxu. If Qin Zhouxu was offended, his life would not be easy for such a body. It's also rare.

Qin Zhouxu's flight back to China was during the day. As soon as he got on the plane, Qin Zhouxu felt a little uncomfortable. He couldn't explain why. Maybe the air conditioner on the plane was turned on too much.

He wanted to call someone over, but found that no one was walking around, which made Qin Zhouxu a little angry. At this moment, a flight attendant came to Qin Zhouxu's side, with a sweet smile on his face: " Sir, what were you looking for just now? Is there anything I can do to help you?"

The sudden sound startled Qin Zhouxu, but when he saw the flight attendant's charming face, Qin Zhouxu was in a good mood. He thought: "Miss, please find me a bed." Here comes the blanket.”
