Early the next morning, Xiao Qing arrived at the harbor area early.
There are many fishermen here who go out early and come back late to make a living on the sea. For Xiao Qing, the air here is humid and he still prefers his hometown compared to the other side of Qingshan.
There are many fishermen on the beach who are processing seafood just taken out of the sea. The air is filled with the smell of fish and various indescribable smells.
For Xiao Qing, the most noteworthy things are the small shops and beer houses on the roadside.
Most of the people who open shops here in the harbor are not locals, they all come from Guanbei to make a living.
If a small shop can earn over 100,000 yuan a year, that's pretty good.
But the shop owners on the roadside don’t necessarily make money by opening their shops!
They also help with matchmaking and bulk shipments.
Different from the situation of the watch shop owners Zhou Shen and the others encountered, the owners of these shops on the harborside have people behind them.
It’s true that Mr. Ding is a reckless man, but he is also a sensible person and can still be quite effective at critical moments.
The background of this group of people is very complicated and messy. Once they really monopolize the antique business, they will definitely cause even bigger troubles.
So he acquiesced to those people with backgrounds in the harbor to sell some antiques in their own way.
The owner of the watch shop is different. He has no background, he is a local, and he sells things on Mr. Ding’s property, so a supervisor came to his door.
The people sitting above clearly approved of the tube belt practice, so no one dared to stop it.
Xiao Qing learned some information about the situation in the harbor area from Xiao Zheng's mouth and came to the door of a restaurant.
This restaurant is considered a home-cooked restaurant. It is open normally on weekdays, so you can't tell the difference. However, most of the customers coming and going here are not ordinary.
Many farmers from surrounding counties know that the owner of this restaurant likes to collect old items.
Xiao Qing asked a random fisherman and found out that this place was indeed not simple.
Opening the door and walking in, a waiter greeted me with a smile.
"Sit down and have something to eat?"
"A pot of tea, is your boss here?"
As soon as he heard that he was looking for the boss, the waiter knew what the young man was here for and said with a smile:
"Do you want to ship or buy?"
There was no one else in the store. There was a strong man in half-sleeves sitting near the door. In front of him was a bottle of Erguotou and a stack of peanuts. He was drinking and scrolling through his cell phone. There was a handbag at his feet.
Xiao Qing observed and found nothing unusual, and then didn't take it to heart.
I should be catching a passenger ship. It's hard to do business on the waterway these days, but the ferry tickets here in the harbor are quite cheap.
"I have everything. More importantly, there is something I want to talk to your boss about. It's very important. Please send me a message about Mr. Ding!"
As soon as the waiter heard the words "Ding Ye", his expression changed obviously. Then he nodded, said "wait a moment", and turned around to go to the second floor.
Xiao Qing noticed that the strong man's eyes turned away from the phone and glanced at the waiter. At this time, he had a keen sense that there might be something wrong.
But the waiter came back quickly and whispered to Xiao Qing: "Come here, the boss wants to talk to you!"
Xiao Qing nodded and followed the waiter to the office on the second floor.
The layout of this office is quite simple, with a desk, a computer, a bookcase, a sofa, and a camp bed, and nothing else.
At most, add the restroom next to it!
A middle-aged man was sitting on a chair, playing with a string of rosary beads. When he saw Xiao Qing walking in, he signaled to the waiter that he could go out.
This middle-aged man is blind in his left eye and has a prosthetic eyeball installed.
He looks like he has a Chinese character face, and although his face is kind, he has a fake eye, which makes him not much kinder.
“Are you a nail person?”
Xiao Qing shook his head:
"I know Mr. Ding, but I'm not familiar with him, so we have a little conflict."
"Then you can go. If you are a nail person, it won't be so easy!"
The middle-aged man seemed to have no interest in continuing the conversation at all, so he waved his hand and asked Xiao Qing to leave.
But how could Xiao Qing leave so easily?
He doesn't care what the middle-aged man's attitude is, because he has chips in his hand!
"Boss Chang, I don't have any antiques on hand, but I am from the Xiao family of Dongshan. Have you heard of the "Collection of Three Classics"?"
Xiao Qing's other identity is useless, can he say that he is a miracle doctor?
Dealing with them can only create a persona of a descendant of a large family of treasure appraisers!
Now is the best opportunity, if you seize it, you will definitely stand firm!
Although Xiao Qing only has the second volume among the upper, middle and lower volumes in his hands, it is enough to scare their group of bulk cargo bosses!
"Collection of Three Classics, I know this. Do you have this treasure in your hands?"
The middle-aged man was somewhat interested, but not too excited. He obviously didn't believe what Xiao Qing said.
After all, Xiao Qing was probably just a young boy in front of him.
"I have a collection of three classics. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. I'm asking you if you want to give Master Ding a proper treatment!"
Fix Mr. Nail?
The middle-aged man suddenly sneered and said, "Boy, you're so angry even though your hair is not even long. Do you know who is standing behind the nail? You keep saying you want to punish him?"
"I'm just asking you if you want to do it. Don't you feel embarrassed that you guys have been huddled here in the harbor for so many years?"
Although the middle-aged man only had one eye left, his eyes were very sharp. He stared at Xiao Qing and said with a smile:
"Young man, please pay attention to your tone when you talk to me. What does this mean?"
"It's not interesting. Master Ding has suppressed you all these years and you don't have much business at all. Once my method succeeds, it won't be a problem for you to be on an equal footing with him in Fugang!"
"Okay, tell me, if I'm satisfied today, you can leave. If you're not satisfied, leave something behind!"
Xiao Qing lowered his voice and briefly stated his plan. Ten minutes later, the middle-aged man frowned and said:
"This is a good plan. The premise is that you really have this ability and the three scriptures you mentioned are true. Otherwise, we will simply become cannon fodder!"
Xiao Qing leaned on the chair and said in a deep voice:
"You pick out an antique at random, can I just open your eyes?"
The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Qing, turned around, rummaged around in the bookcase, and took out a small scroll.
When I opened the scroll, there was a painting of plum blossoms and snow falling on it. It looked like it was quite old!
"Winter Plum and Winter Snow, this painting is authentic and well preserved!"
Xiao Qing recognized him at a glance, and the middle-aged man was a little surprised!
At that time, several bosses from their harbor side came together to see this painting, but they didn't even recognize it!
Unexpectedly, this young man directly told the story of his origin!
