Hearing this, Chu Chen quickly asked: "Brother Zhao, why don't we go and pay first?" Duan Xuefeng waved his hand and said, "What's the hurry about money? We'll talk about it later. I can swipe credit cards here, too. Don¡¯t worry about not being able to pay the bill. I¡¯ll ask Manager Tao to take you to sit in my office for a while, and I¡¯ll go and tell you about the license plate¡± After Duan Xuefeng left, Chu Chen and the others followed Manager Tao and asked the general manager. Go to the manager's office. As Zhao Qirui walked, he said to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chu, I just talked about buying a house. Do you know that Lao Zhao recently had an accident because of the house buying, and someone had his arm broken?" Chu Chen heard After speaking, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and he quickly asked: "Brother Zhao, are you talking about Uncle Zhao Xueyi?" "Yes, that's him." "No, before I went to southern Yunnan, I heard Uncle Wu said that he went to another place with him. " Zhao Qirui said with a wry smile: "What happened after he and your Uncle Wu came back, it was only a week ago that Uncle Wu went to the hospital. Didn't you tell me?" Chu Chen said with a surprised expression. "He was hunting geese all day long, and was pecked by geese in the end. He was too embarrassed to see anyone, so your Uncle Wu didn't even know about this." "Ah, what's going on?" Zhao Qirui sighed and said, "This Well, firstly, he blamed himself, and secondly, it had something to do with me. He took others with him to dig out the house, and the two of them fought over something. As a result, someone bought the item at a high price, and it was taken away after he returned. It turned out that ten days ago, an old man named Lin came to Zhao Xueyi and wanted to ask him to buy a vase with colorful character patterns. It turned out to be a coincidence. As soon as he finished speaking, a phone call came to Zhao Xueyi, saying that he had some old things at home that he wanted to sell and asked him if he could come. Zhao Xueyi inquired about it and found that in addition to some jades, there was also a small jar with blue and white colorful figures and stories from the Ming Dynasty. This immediately made Zhao Xueyi's mind move. Zhao Qirui had told him before that he wanted a better jar with colorful characters. If the item was right, wouldn't it be just right to buy it? It¡¯s just that the old man named Lin heard that there was a small jar with blue and white figures and wanted to go there to have a look, so the two of them took a car and arrived at the house. After some pleasantries, the host took out the things. The two of them just looked at the other jade items and picked some good ones to buy. But the small blue and white jar with colorful characters and stories made the two people's eyes suddenly light up, because this small blue and white jar actually came from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, after the two of them handled it, they found that the carcass of this jar was fine, dense, and white. The lifelike figure paintings were in line with the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty. The green material was made of Zhejiang material, which was basically consistent with the late Wanli period. The style and design were also correct. People think this should be the blue and white character story jar from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. They both liked the item, but there was only one item, so the two began to compete. In the end, the item was bought back by the old man surnamed Lin for 1.2 million. Originally, this matter should have ended by now, but the old man surnamed Lin was worried, and Qian Zhiyan glanced at the thing again. From a glance, something was wrong. It turns out that this small blue and white jar is a jar with color added. It is indeed from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, but the color was added during the Qianlong period. Although it is indeed an antique, it is definitely not worth 1.2 million. The price is too high. So the old man surnamed Lin came to Zhao Xueyi to settle the account. The old man came not because he wanted to return the goods, because there is no such thing as a return of antiques unless the signed contract guarantees that they are genuine. He was just angry that Zhao Xueyi, as a broker, also set a price, causing him to suffer unreasonable losses. But Zhao Xueyi also had his reasons, because the old man surnamed Lin insisted on it, so he was just an ordinary consumer at that time, so there was no problem in setting the price. What Zhao Xueyi said was indeed reasonable. He had no intention of taking the old man named Lin there, but he insisted on going with him. At that time, both parties were buyers. But the old man surnamed Lin didn¡¯t think so. Since Zhao Xueyi said he was not a broker, why would he accept the 100,000 yuan he gave him afterwards? Hearing this, Chu Chen smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle Zhao is also obsessed with money. Why did he accept the one hundred thousand yuan given to him? If he didn't accept it, wouldn't the next thing happen?" Zhao Xueyi sighed He took a breath and said, "He did do something unethical. I heard him tell me afterwards that he accepted it because his son was getting married during the Chinese New Year and he wanted to save more money for his son." Chu Chen was helpless. Shaking his head, he said: "Then how did Uncle Zhao's arm break?" Zhao Qirui said: "What else can we do? The two of them fought over each other.After a long time, no result was reached. Lao Lin got angry and went back to tell his family. Lao Lin's younger brother was also a big boss. In a fit of anger, he led his men to settle the score with Lao Zhao. When they had a dispute, his men picked up the wooden sticks around them and hit Lao Zhao, and the result was like this. " Hearing this, Chu Chen frowned and said, "Although Uncle Zhao did something wrong, but if you have something to say, it's not right to hit someone, right? Brother Zhao, after hearing what you said, do you know this person? " Zhao Qirui nodded and said: "Yes, I know all the three brothers Lao Lin. Their father was also a founding general in the past, and he and my father were old friends. However, he did not survive that period, and his family declined later. . " "But Youdao is a skinny camel bigger than a horse. Among his three brothers, the eldest is retired from the Guozihao Research Institute, the second is now a senior officer in the military, and the third is the boss I just mentioned. Those who do alloy processing also do a relatively large business. " "Of course, their family's strength is nothing to me, but the relationship between our two families is not bad. I could only agree on Lao Zhao at the time. " Chu Chen nodded. It was really not easy to do this with Zhao Qirui in the middle, so he said: "Brother Zhao, I understand what you mean, but Uncle Zhao is usually quite sensible. Since he has the responsibility, he will always I have expressed my opinion, but why did things still get to this point in the end? " Zhao Qirui said with a wry smile: "This matter is also Lin Laosan's recklessness. Originally, Lao Zhao meant to return the previous 100,000 to them, and then compensate them for another 200,000, but Lin Laosan can be said to be Lao Lin's leader. The older one, I was very close to him, and he didn¡¯t understand the rules of the antique business, so he said at that time that he wanted to return the things. After the last disagreement" Chu Chen shook his head helplessly. This fact was a little bit It¡¯s hard to say anything, but Uncle Zhao also suffered such retribution due to his greed. ¡°Brother Zhao, is the matter resolved now? " Zhao Qirui laughed and said: "For my sake, because Lao Zhao was injured, the Lin family has given up on this matter, but they require that after Lao Zhao recovers from his injury, within a month, the price will be 10% off. Find them an antique of similar value. " Hearing this, Chu Chen said happily: "Thanks to you, Brother Zhao, this time, but good things are not big cabbage. It is not easy to buy things at this price in a month. " Zhao Qirui waved his hand and said with a smile: "This matter has something to do with me. Besides, I have been dealing with Lao Zhao for many years, so I should give you some help. As for the matter you mentioned, it will be easy to handle. The family that Lao Zhao went to before heard this and felt a little guilty. It happened that he had a relative who also wanted to sell something for emergency. " "According to the man, the things are no worse than what he has at home, to avoid accidents, so I thought about it for two days, when you are free, let's go there together on behalf of Lao Zhao, what do you think? " Chu Chen was of course obliged to do this kind of thing, and immediately nodded and agreed: "Brother Zhao, I agree to this matter, but I plan to go back to my hometown the day after tomorrow. I won't be back until the end of August. I don't know if I can find the time. and. " Zhao Qirui thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask Lao Zhao to call that person and talk to him when I get back. It should be fine. Xiaochu, what happened when you got home? Chu Chen chuckled and said, "I have nothing to do at home. I just want to build a small library for my alma mater, so I can do my best." " Zhao Qirui patted him on the shoulder when he heard this and said with a smile: "You have a good idea. Now that we have the ability, we must contribute to society. If there is anything you need my help with, just say it. " Chu Chen waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, no, although there is a shortage of everything over there, I have sent some desks and chairs there. In addition to building a library this time, I plan to buy some sports supplies. That¡¯s it. If I do too much, I¡¯m afraid that others will be jealous. " Zhao Qirui nodded. This is true. If you donate too much, it might be misappropriated. He has heard of this kind of thing before. A village cadre started a fight because the factory he ran was not operating well. I hope that the money for the project is not much, and it was discovered early, otherwise the money would probably not come back. "By the way, Xiao Chu, don't talk to your Uncle Wu about Lao Zhao. " Chu Chen was a little confused and asked: "Why? Uncle Wu has such a good relationship with him, wouldn't it be a good idea to keep this kind of thing a secret? " Zhao Qirui shook his head helplessly and said: "This is what Lao Zhao confessed. In the final analysis, this matter was caused by his own greed. He was afraid that his friends would laugh at him. None of his friends in the antiques industry said anything about it. " "I'm afraid I can't keep this secret for long. If there is any trouble in the antique industry, it won't be long before others will know about it " Zhao Qirui shrugged and said: "Old Zhao means to hide it for as long as it can, and then wait until it can no longer be concealed. " "Well, in fact, Uncle Zhao is hiding his ears and stealing the bell"
