    Although he was filled with envy and jealousy in his heart, on the surface, Ma Laocai still smiled and looked nothing strange.  "Xiao Ren, I don't know how much you drink? It's okay to drink another half a pound of Laobaigan. Come on! Drink a little more with me. I still have some Chaigoubao bacon in the house. Let's finish it."  With that, Ma Laocai walked back to the house regardless of whether Ren Qiangtong agreed. However, Ren Qiang usually likes to eat Wucheng's specialties the most, and the old customer will have to wait for a while, so  , hesitated for a moment, and then didn¡¯t stop him.  However, as soon as Ma Laocai went in, it took him three to five minutes to come out, which made Ren Qiang feel a little strange.  Ma Laocai put the bacon on the table and apologized with a smile: "Xiao Ren, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I originally planned to take this bacon back to eat. I didn't cut it when I bought it. I cut it just now.  It took a while. " Looking at Ma Laocai's greasy hands, Ren Qiang felt relieved. He raised his glass and said, "What's there to say? Brother Ma, I respect you" After drinking and eating.  After he was full, Ren Qiang burped and went back. Ma Laocai also showed a meaningful and slightly ferocious smile.  The reason why Ma Laocai had such a smile was because just now he took advantage of Ren Qiang's drunkenness to casually ask for information about Ren Qiang's old customer. As a result, he asked him something that made him particularly angry.  matter.  It turns out that a month ago, Ma Laocai bought a work by Zheng Xiaoxu, a calligrapher from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, from Ren Qiang. He got it from Ren Qiang¡¯s old customer and resold it to him.  Judging from today's Wang Duo's work, Ma Laocai felt that the painting that Ren Qiang received must have been very cheap, and he must have been ripped off by Ren Qiang.  Ma Laocai was originally a money-minded person, and he was also mean. After learning about this incident, he felt very unhappy. Not to mention that he had been made money by Ren Qiang, and he had made a lot of money.  How can you tolerate this kind of thing? ?????????? In fact, Ma Laocai has a villain¡¯s heart and he is a gentleman. When Ren Qiang sold his work, he only added some 100 yuan for hard work. It is understandable to earn him this little money.  So, in the heart of a villain, there will never be a true friend.  Even if you are a slightly better friend, when there is a conflict of interests, the word "friend" is equivalent to farting.   It was Ren Qiang's bad luck. Not long after he returned, his old client came and the two parties chatted for a while.  The other party took out the item, and Ren Qiang carefully verified that it was indeed genuine. He wanted to negotiate the price with the customer, but before he could speak, his stomach rumbled, followed by a sharp pain.  "Oops, why is my stomach so bad?" Ren Qiang quickly said hello to the customer.  Then he rushed into the toilet. Because his gastrointestinal function was weak, he didn't think much about it at first, thinking that he was spoiled by gluttony.  Ren Qiang spent a long time in the toilet this time. Just as the man was wandering around boredly with his things, he saw a very kind face sticking out from the shop next door. It was Ma Laocai who was waiting for the opportunity.  "He's here to deliver the goods, right?" Ma Laocai asked with a smile.  The man nodded, but ignored him.  "You have sold a work by Zheng Xiaoxu to Ren Qiang before, right? I bought that work!" The man was stunned for a moment, and then a feeling of annoyance arose in his heart.  The reason for this is very simple. What he sold to Ren Qiang was bought by Ma Laocai, who was also an antique businessman, in the blink of an eye. This shows.  Ma Laocai actually makes money, that is to say, he can definitely sell more money.  That person is not a fool. He wants to sell his things at a good price.  However, youdao means what you see is what you see. Now that Ma Laocai said this, he only half-believed it.  Ma Laocai also understood this truth, so he called the man into the room and then took out the work.  When the man saw it, it was indeed the work he had sold to Ren Qiang before. Not to mention the regret and depression in his heart, he immediately angrily expressed that he no longer wanted to do business with Ren Qiang.  Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Ma Laocai said: "Hey, after all, we are all neighbors. We see each other every day without looking up. There are some things that I can't say more about, but I am also very sad for you. It is not easy to have some good things. Who can  Don't you want to sell it at a good price? I can't bear it in my conscience, so I can't help but remind you, but if Ren Qiang finds out about this, we will definitely lose our friends. " "Bah, who would follow such a profiteer?  No one is in trouble for being friends! Thank you for reminding me today, I will sell this Wang Duo's work to you!" Ma Laocai happily agreed, and then the two of them quickly went to the bank to transfer the money and complete the transaction.  &nbspAfter Ren Qiang came out of the toilet, he was surprised that no one was there. At first, he thought the customer was in a hurry and left first. He really liked the work, so he went directly to the home of an old customer.  When the two met, Ren Qiang found that the old customer gave him a bad look, which made him very strange. However, he was anxious to get the work, so he said directly: "Old Zhang, I like that calligraphy very much, and it is better than  What we said on the phone was better, I¡¯ll pay you 80,000, but you also know that I don¡¯t have enough liquidity, can you let me give you the rest tomorrow?¡± ¡°How much did you say?¡± That person listened?  When I saw the price given by Ren Qiang, I was stunned on the spot.  Ren Qiang thought that the other party was too little, so he hurriedly said: "Old Zhang, we are also old friends. Although the price I offered may not be the best in the market, it is still fair. If you don't believe it, you can also ask around.  " "But I just sold that work for fifty-five thousand!" the man said with tears in his eyes.  "What!" Ren Qiang exclaimed when he heard this, so the man told the story in detail. At the end, he said with a grimace: "Boss Ren, why didn't you say something earlier?"  It's worth 80,000!" Ren Qiang knew that he had been cheated by Ma Laocai, and he felt very disgusted. He said angrily: "This Ma Laocai is nothing. I just added a piece of Zheng Xiaoxu's work.  One hundred dollars is already very interesting to him, but he actually used this to slander me!" "But Lao Zhang, don't you understand who I am? Besides, didn't we already know the price of this work?  We've agreed, tentatively, it's 50,000. If it's good, I'll give you more money when I see the real thing. Why don't you wait for me?" The man looked ashamed when he heard this, and said sarcastically: "This is the matter.  I do have a responsibility, but it took too long for you to go to the toilet. It was too boring for me to wait. " Ren Qiang was a little embarrassed about this. Who said he was greedy at noon?  etc!  A possibility suddenly occurred to him, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought it was the case, because it was not the first time he went to Ma Laocai's place. He had never seen any kitchen knives there, but the bacon was cut with a very sharp knife.  of.  Ren Qiang was almost certain that the bacon should have been cut when he bought it. So Ma Laocai stayed behind for such a long time and kept asking him to eat more. In addition, he happened to have diarrhea again, so the connection was  It's not hard to guess.  Thinking that he was actually plotted against by Ma Laocai in this way, Ren Qiang was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He wished he could go to Ma Laocai to settle the accounts right then and there.  However, Ren Qiang is not a brainless person. He knows that now that the matter has come to this, even if he goes to Ma Laocai to settle accounts, he will not be able to get the things back from Ma Laocai. In the end, he can only take the bitter consequences in his own stomach.  Swallow inside.  With all this, everyone discovered that Ma Laocai was such a person, and gradually many people were no longer willing to deal with him, which made Ma Laocai's business become more and more sluggish.  "However, Ma Laocai doesn't take this seriously. In addition, he has a good mind and a sharp tongue. He can usually tinker with some rare things, earn a little money, and live without worries.  However, Ma Laocai is cold and jealous by nature. Seeing that his own business is not good, other people's business is quite good, especially a shop not far from him. The shop opened later than him, but because the shop owner is kind, the business is very good.  He was much better than him, so he became jealous and wanted to plot against others.  Not long after, he actually found a chance.  Once, Ma Laocai accidentally heard that the owner of the antique shop was in contact with a group of natives and wanted to buy one of the unearthed cultural relics with a market value of nearly 200,000 yuan.  So he secretly inquired about the matter and reported it to the relevant units. As expected, the man was sanctioned, his things were confiscated, and he was fined a large sum of money.  "The right way is to think that others don't know, unless you don't do it yourself."  Ma Laocai's despicable behavior quickly spread to the antique shop and reached the ears of the shop owner.  Everyone sneered at this villainous behavior that harmed others and not self-interest, and the shop owner was even more angry.  It should be said that it is normal to buy some unearthed cultural relics in the antique shop. Ma Laocai has bought it himself, so this kind of behavior of Ma Laocai can be said to be taboo in the antique shop.  When this happened, everyone ostracized Ma Laocai, and a friend of the shop owner even bought Ma Laocai¡¯s shop and kicked him out.  Ma Laocai had no choice but to find another place, but even if the good location was not rented out, no one wanted to rent it to someone like him. In the end, he could only find the most inconspicuous shop to survive.  "Perhaps it is true to the old saying of the ancients, good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil. It is not that there is no reward, the time has not yet come.  Because of the storeThe location is not good. If Ma Laocai wants to continue to make money in this industry, he must find some good things. However, if no one else takes him to play, even if he wants to go to his peers to get some good things, it will not work.  In this case, the best way Ma Laocai thought of was to go to the countryside to collect goods. However, he was already old, and it would definitely not be realistic to run around like before, so he gave this job to a man who was two years old after graduating from high school.  My son is still at home doing nothing for many years.
