After Li Yalin finished speaking, the old man An Qishan, whose condition had improved greatly in the past few days and whose memory had gradually begun to recover, suddenly said with a serious face: "Yalin is right! We used to be too easy to deny intuitively.

One thing, that’s why I haven’t found Chen’er for so many years! Sometimes when doing things, you just have to go against your own intuition!”

An Chongqiu nodded and said: "After my sister's accident, we searched in Jinling for a while but did not find Chen'er's whereabouts. At that time, we intuitively judged that Chen'er must have left Jinling. Since then, we have been outside Jinling.

I have been searching for Chen'er for twenty years with no results. Maybe Chen'er has never left Jinling in the first place!"

An Kaifeng was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and frowned: "Now that I think about it, the water in Jinling is indeed unfathomable! If nothing else, based on the sporadic clues we can grasp so far, I speculate that my benefactor should

They are from Jinling!”

"Indeed." An Chongqiu also agreed and said: "My benefactor chose to hold the rejuvenation elixir auction in Jinling and gave this opportunity to the local Song Group in Jinling. And I got some news that the Song Group held the rejuvenation auction at that time.

After the elixir auction, it contributed more than 10 billion U.S. dollars in tax revenue to Jinling, and also donated tens of billions of dollars in charity. All of this money should be the auction proceeds from the auction of the Rejuvenation elixir!"

Speaking, An Chongqiu added: "In addition, there is another thing. After the auction, the Song Group invested over 100 million US dollars to build a large-scale welfare home in Jinling. It is said that the design scale of this welfare home is the largest in the world.

The largest one can not only provide the daily necessities of tens of thousands of orphans, but also provide them with excellent educational resources. If you don’t have deep feelings for Jinling, you will never make such a decision!"

Li Yalin's eyes suddenly lit up and he blurted out: "Build a welfare home? It seems that this benefactor attaches great importance to orphans! Could it be that he was also an orphan, so he takes such good care of them?"

An Chongqiu nodded and said, "What Lao Li said is possible."

Ye Chen's aunt An Youyou couldn't help but said: "If we investigate the welfare home in Jinling, is there a chance to find out the identity of our benefactor?"

When Li Yalin heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he admired in his heart: "Isn't this just drawing inferences from one instance? If you follow this line of investigation, you will not only be able to find out your benefactor, but you will also find out that your benefactor is actually the grandson of the An family!"

At this time, An Chongqiu suddenly waved his hand and said: "I think we should not explore the identity of our benefactor. He knows every step of our steps. If we continue to rashly explore his identity, I am afraid that our benefactor will be suspicious of us."

Feeling dissatisfied."

An Kaifeng said in agreement: "Brother is right. Since we have come to Jinling, we are under the nose of our benefactor. At this time, we should try to keep a low profile and try not to make any small moves."

Li Yalin looked at the two serious brothers and felt anxious for a while, but he did not dare to reveal too much. He could only sigh in his heart: "You two brothers are indeed sleeping dragons and phoenixes. If you miss this clue, you will find Ye Chen again."

, I’m afraid it will be as difficult as climbing to heaven!”

…

At dawn the next day, in the northern suburbs of Jinling.

Before it really gets bright, Zhang Ermao is already standing next to the dry toilet in a farmyard.

With a shovel in his hand, he dug out the three magical artifacts Ye Chen gave him from the smelly soil beside the toilet pit.

These three magical artifacts were buried together with the rotten and smelly pig offal for two days. Once they were dug out, there was a pungent smell.

He pinched his nose and picked out the three magical artifacts from the soil, then carefully brushed off the soil around the artifacts with a soft-bristled brush, then wiped them carefully with a dry towel, then put them under his nose and smelled vigorously.

At this time, the smell of blood and fishy smell has faded a lot. According to Zhang Ermao's previous experience of selling antiques, this smell is very close to the smell of newly minted jade in Shengkeng.

Objects from raw pits, especially jade objects that were buried close to the body, will have a faint fishy odor no matter how they are cleaned for a period of time after they are just dug out from the ground. This odor even occurs after they are unearthed.

After a year, there will still be a faint residue. Ordinary people may not be able to smell anything, but people like Zhang Ermao who often deal with antiques can tell the difference by just smelling it with their noses.

The two pieces of jade were originally old things, but now they have such a smell, people who know the art will almost conclude that these things came from a raw pit.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the things, Zhang Ermao hurriedly drove back to the city and went straight to the antique street.

The antique industry in Jinling still retains the business rule of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. In the words of insiders, you cannot do antique trading when it is dark, because you are afraid of being blinded by the darkness.

, and secondly, I was afraid of being robbed in the dark.

Therefore, merchants and stall owners in Antique Street basically start their business at dawn and close their stalls before dark.

Today happened to be Saturday, so when Zhang Ermao arrived at the antique street, the antique street was already as busy as a vegetable market in the early morning.

Zhang Ermao is already an old man in the antique street. After following Hong Wu some time ago, he left here and never came back. So when he suddenly appeared, many people recognized him and greeted him enthusiastically: "

Brother Ermao, why do you have time to come back and take a look today?"

"That's right, Brother Ermao, you are now a popular person next to Mr. Hong Wu. How come you still have time to come and see us poor brothers?"

Zhang Ermao thought to himself: "When I was swindling in the antique street, none of you looked down upon me. Who didn't yell at me and talk about Zhang Ermao all day long? Now I follow Hong Wu

Master, you all started calling me Brother Ermao."

Thinking of this, Zhang Ermao laughed twice and said to the people gathered around him: "To be honest with you, I am no longer with Mr. Hong Wu."

"What?" The man who had just called him Brother Ermao enthusiastically asked immediately: "Zhang Ermao, you have been doing well with Mr. Hong Wu, why did you suddenly stop following him if you don't want to?"

"That's right." Another man said: "I'm talking about Zhang Ermao, you follow Mr. Hong Wu and enjoy the hot food. Isn't it much better than playing around with these things in the antique street?"

A woman selling fake copper coins said with a smile: "Zhang Ermao, you made some mistake and were kicked out by Mr. Hong Wu, right?"

Zhang Ermao waved his hand and said casually: "Don't mention these things. I plan to come back and set up my stall again."

As he said that, he looked at the man who greeted him first and said: "Zhao Laosi, you know that after I left, I lent you my original stall for free. Look, I'm back now, so you still have to use me."

Give that position back to me."

The man known as Zhao Laosi immediately waved his hand and said: "Hey, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no had had had he had had had had he that journey."

A real man, every spit is a nail, you can't go back on your word."

Zhang Ermao said with a sarcastic smile: "Fourth, you think I'm dead, right? I might as well tell you that when I left Mr. Hong Wu, it wasn't Mr. Hong who drove me away, but me, Zhang Ermao."

Gotta go."

"Just blow it." Zhao Laosi curled his lips and said: "We have known each other for so many years, and I still don't know you? When you left the stall and went to meet Mr. Hong Wu, I don't know how excited and excited you were.

Now you say that you took the initiative to leave Mr. Hong Wu, why do I not believe it so much?"

Zhang Ermao smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, Zhao Laosi, I used to have a good friend who prospered in antique trading, and now he has turned into a well-known Hong Kong businessman. He now wants me to cooperate with him to sell antiques. This kind of antique trading I am talking about.

This is not a small business like we used to do. Instead, we specialize in selling antiques to those Hong Kong bosses who are worth tens or tens of billions. Maybe we can earn tens or millions in one order. After working for two years, we can save a lot of money.

I will retire with a small goal. Isn’t this much better than following Hong Wu Ye to fight and kill?"

When several people heard this, their eyes widened immediately.

Zhao Laosi exchanged glances with several others, then stepped forward to apologize and said with a smile: "Brother Ermao, I'm sorry you have found a new way to make money. You don't want to work next to Mr. Hong Wu anymore!"

"Hey!" Zhang Ermao raised a hand seriously, pointed his palm at everyone, and said seriously: "It's not that I, Zhang Ermao, look down on Mr. Hong Wu. As the ancients said, good birds choose wood.

As for Qi, I can only say that Hong Wuye's big tree is not suitable for my development, Zhang Ermao. After all, I have been dealing with antiques for so many years, and I am still the most comfortable in this business."

The other man stepped forward and gave Zhang Ermao a light blow with his arm, and said with a smile: "Brother Ermao, since you have such a way to make money, can't you take me with you? You see, your brother and I are in the antique street.

I have been working for so many years, but I haven’t caught a big fish, and I can’t earn a Passat all year round. If you have a good way to make money, just ask your brother to help you, okay?”

As he said that, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Zhang Ermao, and said diligently: "Come on, brother Ermao, have a cigarette!"

Zhang Ermao took the cigarette, held it in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Xiao Teng, if you really want to make money with me, I can't think about it, but I don't know if you are a down-to-earth person.

I don’t want to do it anymore…”

The man known as Xiao Teng quickly took out his lighter, lit Zhang Ermao's cigarette, and said respectfully: "Brother Ermao, as long as you are willing to help me, I will work hard without complaint, without any hesitation!"

Zhao Laosi on the side also said quickly: "Brother Ermao, please take me with you! I have no other advantages, just being obedient! As long as you take me with you, I will definitely obey your orders and fight wherever you tell me.

!”

At this time, other people also expressed their sincerity to Zhang Ermao. In their opinion, since Zhang Ermao was willing to give up his position as a popular person next to Master Hong Wu, it proved that he had definitely found a bigger way to make money, and he also said that this

The new money path itself is related to antiques. Not only Zhang Ermao is good at it, but everyone is also familiar with it, so everyone wants to get a share of the pie with Zhang Ermao.

Zhang Ermao said calmly at this time: "Everyone, I just came back here, and the new business has not been completely smoothed out yet, so I can't use so many people, so in this initial stage, I asked Zhao Laosi and Xiao Teng to talk to me first.

Get started, don’t worry if others haven’t had their turn, everyone will have a share when I get the business straightened out!”

Several others couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but Zhao Laosi and Xiao Teng were extremely excited.

The two of them quickly pulled Zhang Ermao to a deserted place. Zhao Laosi said flatteringly: "Brother Ermao, if you want to use your stall, you can use it at any time. If it's not enough, you can use one of mine. You need me and Xiao Teng."

Whatever you do, you just tell me."

Zhang Ermao took a puff of cigarette and asked them: "Tell me the truth, how much money can you earn in a month now?"

Zhao Laosi raised his hand and said: "Brother Ermao, let me tell you first. You know my situation. I am not as slipshod as you, and I am not as good at deceiving you. If I do well in a month, I can earn

Ten thousand or twenty thousand per person, sometimes there are not many openings in a month, and I can’t even make money from the stall fee..."

Xiao Teng also said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Brother Ermao, my situation is not much better than that of Lao Si. It's the end of August and I don't even have a net profit of 3,000 yuan this month. Moreover, the competition in the antique street is fierce now."

, Damn, all these bitches can't get enough money. I used to sell a bunch of fake Five Emperors coins. Why can't you give me ten or twenty yuan if you want to? If you encounter someone who's wronged, it's not impossible to ask for three to five hundred yuan.

, but now those new idiots are selling it for three to five yuan. Tell me, the purchase price of this bunch is only one yuan and eighty cents. They are selling it for three to five yuan. What the fuck.

Even if you drink the northwest wind, you won’t be full!”

Zhang Ermao smiled and said to the two of them: "In this case, don't say that Brother Ermao doesn't take care of you. My boss will introduce some Hong Kong businessmen to our Jinling in the next two days. From now on, your stall will

No need to show off, one goes to the airport, the other goes to the high-speed rail station, hold the sign for me to pick people up!"

"Pick up people?" Zhao Laosi and Xiao Teng looked at each other, and the latter asked: "Brother Ermao, the job of picking up people is too unskilled, how much can I pay for this trip..."

Zhang Ermao smiled enigmatically and said: "The clients I asked you to pick up are all big clients who spend a lot of money. Sometimes it is not convenient for them to come forward, so they will send their people over. You two just hold the sign.

Go to the airport and high-speed rail station and wait. My employer has made an agreement with them. As soon as they see you when they arrive, they will take the initiative to meet you. Don’t think this job is unskilled. I will give you three thousand yuan a day.

!”

"Three thousand per person?!"

The two of them were stunned when they heard this, and at the same time they couldn't help but feel a little excited. Three thousand yuan a day, this income was much better than what they earned from setting up a stall.

Zhang Ermao said again at this time: "But I have to say something ugly ahead of time. I'm not sure when the big customer will come, so you have to go to the airport and high-speed rail station to guard it every day. You two have to go there early every morning.

You can't go home and rest until the flights and high-speed trains are stopped. During this period, you can't miss any flight or any high-speed train. If anyone receives a customer, I will reward you with 10,000 yuan. If you miss a customer, I will never forgive you.

Did he understand?"
