The matter of the black-glazed kettle was successfully settled. Next, Zhang Yilong had to find a way to get something from the Zhu family and take a look at it. That was the blue-and-white gourd bottle used as a urinal. If that thing was genuine blue-and-white porcelain, its value would be huge.

It is estimated that it is far beyond what a kettle can match. After all, blue and white porcelain in ancient times was the mainstream of ceramics. Fine blue and white porcelain can often fetch sky-high prices. Isn’t the Yuan blue and white Guiguzi Mountain Pattern Jar sold for hundreds of millions of dollars the best?

The proof?

"Brother Long, did you buy that black glazed kettle?".

After finishing the transaction with Teacher Zhu, Teacher Zhu returned to the Eight Immortals Table to discuss with Mu Wanqing and the others, while Zhang Yilong and Zhang Zhibin stood aside and talked in low voices. Zhang Zhibin was of course very concerned about this matter. The kettle had a big leak.

, if Zhang Yilong is optimistic about it but fails to get it at a suitable price, wouldn’t it be in vain?

"Yes." Zhang Yilong nodded and smiled, "Teacher Zhu is very easy to talk to. As soon as I asked him, he agreed without saying a word."

"How much did it cost? It shouldn't be very expensive, right?" Zhang Zhibin said with surprise and joy, "Brother Long, you picked up another big leak this time!"

Zhang Yilong shook his head and said: "The price is okay, but I can't be sure whether it is a leak or not. Only if it can be sold at a high price can it be considered a real leak."

"Definitely!" Zhang Zhibin said with excitement, "Brother Long, you are rich! This time, you first defrauded 60,000 yuan from those bastards like Old Man Zhao, and now you have found such a good deal.

These things together cost more than 100,000 yuan. Adding in what you earned before, you probably have 20,000 to 300,000 yuan?! With this money, don’t you plan to do something? You can do it yourself.

Now that you are investing in business, there is no need to work in that auction company anymore. Anyway, you are just a small salesman, not an expert leader!"

Zhang Yilong smiled bitterly and said: "I have thought about this, and I will do it. But now is not the time, let's take it slow. Xiaobin, let's talk about our plan after we return to the city."

He gently patted Zhang Zhibin on the shoulder. He looked at the other party with an encouraging look. Zhang Zhibin knew nothing about his current strong capital. If the other party knew that he was a quasi-billionaire, he didn't know what he would do.

Thoughts.

Zhang Yilong knows it well. Zhang Zhibin has been living a hard life. His biggest ideal is to open an antique store of his own. Zhang Yilong will certainly support him in this regard. He plans to assist him in opening an antique store in Haizhou Antique Street, which is more profitable.

A high-end antique shop, and then slowly develop and expand.

After chatting with Zhang Zhibin for a while, Zhang Yilong walked back to Mu Wanqing. At this moment, Mu Wanqing and the others were already discussing the cooperative auction with Teacher Zhu and Old Man Zhu. This meant that Mu Wanqing was interested in the pair of pastel elephants.

Ear bottle.

"Mr. Mu, are those two pieces of porcelain good?" Zhang Yilong asked casually.

Mu Wanqing turned around and replied: "The pastel porcelain from the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty is not bad overall, but the glaze is a little damaged. Fortunately, it is only distributed in a small area and is harmless. So it can be accepted."

"That's good." Zhang Yilong said happily.

After confirming this matter from Mu Wanqing, Zhang Yilong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was not only happy for Mu Wanqing, but also relieved for Teacher Zhu and his family. This was a happy thing for everyone.

"Then let me ask you, if this pair of bottles is sent to your company for auction, how much deposit can we pay for it?" Teacher Zhu suddenly asked. When he asked this question, he looked nervous, and you could see that he was

Pay great attention to the deposit.

Luo Bing said nonchalantly: "Mr. Zhu, why are we talking about a deposit before this matter is finalized? Normally we don't give a deposit. We will give you what you deserve after the item is auctioned.

I will pay you one cent at a time, unless there are any special circumstances."

"What special situation?" Teacher Zhu immediately asked with a red face.

Luo Bing said: "In special circumstances, if your items are really good and you can guarantee that they won't be sold, then we can provide you with a certain amount of funds as appropriate."

"What about our things?" Teacher Zhu said eagerly, "If there is no urgent matter, we don't plan to auction the old things handed down from our ancestors. I know that it takes a long time from the time an item is sent to the auction to be completed.

, but we can’t afford to wait.”

"Since you say that, there may be nothing we can do." Luo Bing said in a calm tone, "We only consider the really good things, but it seems that your two items are not within the scope of paying a deposit."

"Don't worry, you two." Just at this moment, Mu Wanqing spoke, comforting her in a very gentle manner, "We can't make the decision on this matter. It depends on the company's wishes, whether they can give a deposit and how much.

These are all regulated.”

"Then please ask for your help. We can feel more at ease if you give us a small deposit." Teacher Zhu pleaded, with a look of disappointment and helplessness on his face at this moment.

"Don't worry, we will do it." Mu Wanqing happily agreed.

Luo Bing waved his hand and said: "Let's do this for now. We will give you the news. If you agree, then sign a contract. We can send someone to come to you, or you can send the things to our company yourself."

"Well, okay, I hope you can give us a definite answer as soon as possible." Teacher Zhu agreed.

After the two parties chatted casually for a while, Luo Bing said goodbye to Boss Zhu and the others, and then the group walked out of Zhu's house.

At the gate, Luo Bing said to Mu Wanqing with a smile: "Wanqing, you drove here, right? Why don't we go back to the city together next time? I have a few friends who are congratulating an old man on his birthday in this yard. I want to wait

After they finish their work, we will go back together in the afternoon. Let’s go and have some fun.”

"Oh, no." Mu Wanqing shook her hand without hesitation, "I want to go back to the company now. I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you."

"Then forget it." Luo Bing's face turned gloomy for a moment, obviously disappointed.

Then he said goodbye, but before leaving, he stared at the black glazed kettle in Zhang Yilong's hand, his eyes thoughtful, but no one knew what he was thinking in his heart at this moment.

"Zhang Yilong, let's go back."

After Luo Bing turned around and walked away, Mu Wanqing greeted Zhang Yilong.

"Let's go." Zhang Yilong didn't say much and walked Mu Wanqing to the parking place.

"Mr. Mu, why don't you go back to Haizhou first?" Zhang Yilong said, "My friend still has some things to do here. We will go back after finishing it."

"Oh. Is that so?" Mu Wanqing nodded, "Okay then, I'll go back first. Just call me if you need anything."

"Okay. You can get in the car." Zhang Yilong said.

"Bye." Mu Wanqing waved goodbye and walked into the car calmly.

After starting, the car drove forward slowly and slowly. Zhang Yilong watched the car drive away until it disappeared around the corner in front.

"Brother Long, what did you just say? We are fine." Zhang Zhibin suddenly walked forward and said in surprise.

"I know, but I have something else to do." Zhang Yilong said solemnly, "Don't ask anything for now. Let's go back to Teacher Zhu's house first."

"Ah?" Zhang Zhibin and Sanlin looked at each other, wondering what kind of medicine Zhang Yilong was selling in the gourd.

But they followed Zhang Yilong's instructions and didn't ask any questions. They just followed Zhang Yilong back to Teacher Zhu's house.

"Hey, you... why are you back?! Is there anything else?!" Seeing Zhang Yilong and the others walking in again, Teacher Zhu was surprised. He thought Zhang Yilong came here specifically to return the black kettle and took it away.

He had been feeling guilty and uneasy about spending nearly two thousand yuan, and now it seemed that what he was worried about had finally happened.

Zhang Yilong said in a pleasant manner: "Teacher Zhu, can we talk?"

"What are we talking about? Just tell me." Teacher Zhu said with an uneasy look.

Zhang Yilong said: "There is a restaurant at the entrance of your village. How about we go there to get together? Let's drink and chat."

"What is it? Please explain it clearly first." The more Mr. Zhu listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. He felt that the other party was prepared. If the guess was correct, it would undoubtedly be a return of goods. In addition, the other party

What else will happen to you?

Zhang Yilong said seriously: "Mr. Zhu, you seem a little nervous. I came to you for no other reason. I mainly wanted to talk to you about the deposit for the ear vase auction. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Talk about a deposit?! Okay!" Upon hearing what Zhang Yilong said, Teacher Zhu's eyes lit up. He nodded quickly and said, "Then let's go now! I'm treating you!"

After he was sure that Zhang Yilong was not asking him to get his money back, he gave up his worries. So he followed Zhang Yilong and the others happily to the restaurant at the entrance of the village.

After arriving at the restaurant, Zhang Yilong ordered good wine and delicious food. He "overwhelmed the guests" and entertained Teacher Zhu warmly.

"Teacher Zhu, come on, let me toast you first." Zhang Yilong raised a glass filled with beer and said, "Don't you want a deposit? This should be no problem. When you are free someday, bring those two pieces of porcelain

Send it to our company and we will definitely give you a deposit."

"How many are there?" Teacher Zhu asked happily.

Zhang Yilong didn't answer the question and said, "Mr. Zhu, tell me your ideal amount - how much deposit do you want? It's usually like this. First estimate the price of the thing, and then pay what percentage of the deposit. How high is the deposit?"

It depends on the quality of the things. According to my estimation, your pair of porcelain can fetch more than one million yuan. That is, if you split it half, you will get about five hundred thousand yuan. After all, our auction company has to charge a certain amount.

commission."

"Can it sell for more than one million?!" Teacher Zhu said with wide eyes, "We initially hoped to pay a deposit of tens of thousands in advance. If the estimate is more than one million, how much deposit will be required?"

Zhang Yilong replied: "It's hard to tell how much it will fetch at the moment. The estimate is just a rough transaction price. Teacher Zhu, how about this? I promise to give you a deposit of 100,000 yuan. What do you think?"

"One hundred thousand?! Brother, you...are you kidding me?!" Teacher Zhu asked excitedly.

Zhang Yilong said: "How could you be joking? Keep your word! Didn't I promise you before that I would handle this matter for you? To be honest, we, Mr. Luo, are the ones who just said it was difficult to pay your deposit.

Mr. Luo, he really didn't want to pay the deposit. Later I gave you a lot of good words to make it work, but the maximum is one hundred thousand, no more."

"One hundred thousand is enough! That's enough!" Teacher Zhu nodded hurriedly, "Brother, you are such a good person! I don't even know how to thank you! You really did us a big favor! I...

…”

He was so excited that the wine glass he held in his hand trembled, and the wine almost overflowed.

"Teacher Zhu, you're welcome. We all become friends once we meet each other. Come on, cheers!" Zhang Yilong clinked glasses with him, then raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

Teacher Zhu also finished the glass of wine in one gulp.

"Teacher Zhu, I will do my best to help you without asking for anything in return. I just have a small request." After drinking for three rounds, Zhang Yilong said solemnly, "Is there anyone else in your family?

Something, right? Can you take it out for us to appreciate?"

"Oh, this is really gone!" Teacher Zhu replied, "Brother, I'm sorry, the valuable antiques in my house have been sold out one after another. Now only the wooden cabinet and the bottle are left, and nothing else.

.”

"It's really gone?" Zhang Yilong said with a smile, "You don't want to tell me, right? It's okay, I just asked casually, I'm a little curious."
