Rebirth 83: Hundreds of billions of net worth, starting from setting up a stall

The two walked around.

Li Cunxi didn't find any good antiques, but he did find a lot of huanghuali and rosewood furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. However, these things are not as valuable as the compressed version of the double-door wardrobe at the moment. If he gave it to Fatty Lu, he would definitely not want it.

"What exactly are you looking for?"

Bai Maoqi asked impatiently.

"It's an antique. Otherwise, do you really want second-hand goods?"

Li Cunxi came to a stall that had just been set up. The stall owner was still taking things out.

The things are very miscellaneous, obviously collected from the countryside.

Bai Maoqi sneered: "There are so many antiques for you to pick up."

Li Cunxi nodded, picked up a jar and said softly: "Have you seen this peach pattern pastel plate? This one is fake. It is from Yongzheng. But during the Yongzheng period, there was no pastel. At first glance, it is obviously from Jingdezhen. thing."

"Boy, if you don't want to buy it, don't ruin my business, and leave quickly."

The stall owner drove people away angrily.

Li Cunxi put down the plate, grinned and said: "Brother, don't be angry, I just want to educate my friends about science. Let's do this. As an apology, I will buy something from your stall and you can tell me the price."

The stall owner did not doubt that he was there, and quoted the price of the porcelain and old items one by one. The cheaper ones cost more than ten yuan, and the expensive ones cost several hundred yuan.

Originally, the stall owner wanted to quote 25 for the peach blossom plate, but Li Cunxi said it was fake and only quoted [-].

"Have you thought about what to buy?"

Seeing Li Cunxi's hesitation, the stall owner asked.

"I don't like anything too much, and these things of yours are not cheap either. They cost dozens of yuan, which is almost as much as our monthly salary."

Li Cunxi shook his head and turned to leave.

The stall owner was anxious and stepped forward to grab Li Cunxi: "Boy, you said you wanted to buy it, but if you dare to lie to me, don't leave today."

"Brother, you see you are still in a hurry, so be it."

Li Cunxi bent down and picked up the plate just now and said: "You don't have anything real here, so I'll just choose this plate. The peach blossoms are very beautiful. Let's use it as a display. But 25 is too expensive. Do you think [-] is acceptable?" If you don’t want to, just give me a slap and I’ll just save one month’s living expenses.”

"Okay, give me the money."

The stall owner suppressed a laugh.

He bought this plate from someone else for one yuan and resold it for twenty, making a sure profit.

Li Cunxi took out two big unity cards and said softly: "If you have anything, pack it for me."

"Yes, wait."

The stall owner rummaged around in his cart for a while, took out a pile of newspapers, and wrapped the plate around it.

Li Cunxi put the plate into the cloth bag he was carrying and walked out.

Bai Maoqi quickly caught up and said anxiously: "Are you crazy? You know the plate is fake, but you still spend 20 to buy it. This is our family's monthly living expenses."

"Don't worry, this plate is real?"

Li Cunxi smiled.

A pastel plate dating from the Yongzheng period is placed in a current cultural relics store and is valued at at least several hundred yuan. After 30 years, it will not be a problem to sell it for millions.

"But you just said it was a lie. Could it be that you were lying?"

The eldest uncle is sincere and has not turned around yet.

Li Cunxi smiled bitterly and said, "My eldest brother, if you don't say this, he won't be able to kill us very hard. He might even dare to charge a sky-high price of two thousand."

"Do you think everyone is as treacherous as you? It's not honorable to give away something obtained by deceiving others."

Bai Maoqi looked disdainful.

Li Cunxi shook his head.

There are two sons in the Lao Bai family. The eldest son is so honest and old-fashioned that it makes people laugh, while the second son is so treacherous that it makes people cry. They really live up to the saying that the same rice can support hundreds of people.

After half an hour.

He came to the factory gate.

Bai Maoqi came next and said hello to the concierge.

The two rode bicycles to the front of the office building.

"Li Cunxi, are you sure Director Lu will accept your things?"

Bai Maoqi was still worried.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely accept it."

Li Cunxi smiled and walked into the office building.

Office buildings in the 80s were all tube buildings.

He walked in the corridor, searched around, and finally found the factory director's office, and knocked lightly.

"Come in."

Click.

Li Cunxi pushed open the door and entered.

Director Lu sat at his desk and looked at the young people walking in with a sarcastic expression: "Haha, welcome to our rural overseas Chinese from the Northwest."

Li Cunxi closed the door, turned around and said with a smile: "If you can calm down with a few words of sarcasm on me, please do it."

"Calm down? I'm telling you, you little brat, if you dare to steal my things, you can go to jail and be shot."

Director Lu gritted his teeth and said.

He had been fooling around for so many years, but he was tricked by a young boy. He couldn't bear to let this revenge go unpaid.

Li Cunxi walked to the desk, put the plate wrapped in newspapers on the table, and said with an apologetic smile: "It's a small thing, consider it an apology gift for offending you yesterday."

"You want to bribe me? You little bastard, who do you think I am, Lu Changgui? I'm telling you, with just this one incident, I can immediately call the people from the security department to arrest you, and you can go to jail."

Lu Changgui said as he picked up the landline phone in the office and dialed the security department through the internal line.

Li Cunxi sat down calmly and said softly: "Director Lu has a little suggestion for you, don't wear Hermès ties. There are more and more returned overseas Chinese like us, and ties like these cost hundreds of dollars each. If others see it, it will have a bad impact on you."

Lu Changgui looked at the tie, then at Li Cunxi, and sneered: "A tie costs hundreds of dollars, do you think I am a fool without common sense?"

"Director Lu, think about it, would a foreigner travel thousands of miles to bring you a tie worth a few dollars from abroad?"

Li Cunxi spoke calmly.

Lu Changgui opened his mouth, speechless.

When the foreigner gave him a tie, he was still complaining that the foreigner was stingy.

But combined with Li Cunxi's words, I suddenly became enlightened.

It's not that he is stingy, it's that he doesn't know the stuff.

Simultaneously.

A chill shot up from the soles of his feet to his forehead.

He has been carrying this tie worth several hundred yuan for a month, and he has met a lot of people. If someone who knows the stuff reports him, he will be in doom.

At this time, the voice of the security department came from the microphone: "Hello, this is the security department."

"I'm Lu Changgui. Let Lao Wang go. He should be fine."

"Yes."

Lu Changgui hung up the phone, looked up and a smile appeared on his gloomy face: "Brother, you have helped me a lot, I have to thank you."

Now the situation is reversed.

Now that he had leverage in Li Cunxi's hands, he could only greet him with a smile.

"Haha, Brother Lu, I have to thank you for letting me go. You must accept this."

Li Cunxi quickly stood up and pushed the plate inside.

His motto in life is that multiple enemies are worse than multiple friends.

So keep your posture low so that Fatty Lu doesn't feel like he's threatening, so that both sides look good.

"Okay, brother, please give me some kindness,"

Lu Changgui opened the newspaper with a smile, but looked at Li Cunxi who was smiling from the corner of his eye.

There are only two words in my heart, sophisticated!

This young man is more sophisticated than him in dealing with people. If he were in a mixed system, he would definitely prosper.

He took out the plate, examined it carefully, and said with emotion: "The peach blossom watercolor plate from the Yongzheng period is from the official kiln. It must have been bought in a cultural relics store. It costs at least a thousand yuan."

"Bought from Fuchang Street."

Li Cunxi told the truth.

Lu Changgui was moved again: "Brother, your eyes are quite poisonous. It seems that there are some knowledgeable people in the family."

"It is true that there is an elder in the family who knows a lot about these things."

Li Cunxi echoed softly.

He doesn't like antiques.

But there are some things that you can't help but dislike

When business reaches a certain level, what you strive for is not necessarily quality and innovation, but worldliness.

When your circle is full of people who play antiques, if you want to fit in, you can only force yourself to like them.
