    Qiao Qingtai felt a little strange after hearing what Han Yusong said. Although he had not come to Xiazhou many times, he still knew Han Yusong's reputation for doing business. Under normal circumstances, even if it was rare antiques, Han Yusong  The price offered was quite fair, which made him immediately think that Han Yusong did this because of him.  "Xiao Han, are you doing this because you want to take care of me?" Han Yusong laughed and said a little embarrassed: "No, the main reason is that this couplet was actually given to me by my friend to pay off the debt, and the price  It's a little expensive, so the price I gave is a little more expensive." Qiao Qingtai was a little curious when he heard this, and asked: "Xiao Han, I think you are usually very careful about money, how can someone still owe you money?  "Come out?" Han Yusong smiled bitterly and said: "I have suffered a terrible disaster" It turns out that Han Yusong has a relatively close friend named Xu Fan, who is also an antique dealer.  A small antique shop opened in another antique market in the state.  Because Xu Fan¡¯s economy and channels are limited, sometimes he will ¡°take it alive¡± from Han Yusong.  "Taking alive" refers to an antique dealer taking an item from another antique dealer without paying at the time. This is called "taking alive".  The rule of "live taking" is that once the price has been agreed upon, you can only sell for more, not for less, that is, you must guarantee the bottom line.  Be true to your word.  The price is higher than the buyout. Generally speaking, the person who takes the job does not pay the handling fee or the running fee, but the person who takes the job can increase the price on the low price, which is called "wearing a hat", and the more sales go to the person who takes the job.  The original owner is not asked.  Han Yusong and Xu Fan are good friends who know each other well and have been working together for four or five years.  Moreover, when Xu Fan "took it alive" from Han Yusong, he usually only took one piece at a time.  There has never been a problem during this period.  One day, Xu Fan suddenly came in a hurry and said that a boss was in urgent need of high-quality antiques. He asked Han Yusong to "get" two antiques worth nearly 600,000 yuan in total.  Considering that everyone had been cooperating for such a long time, and that Xu Fan was a careful person and would generally not be deceived, Han Yusong was a little curious, but did not ask any more questions.  But the result was beyond Han Yusong¡¯s expectation. This time Xu Fan was tricked.  Not only did he make a fortune, he was almost killed.  When Han Yusong talked about this, he stopped and took a few sips of tea. At this time, everyone's curiosity was raised. Qiao Qingtai quickly said: "Xiao Han, stop being so pretentious and tell us what's going on!"  Han Yusong smiled and was about to continue his story when he saw a man who was nearly fifty years old.  A man with half-white hair walked in quickly from outside.  Han Yusong pointed at the man and said with a smile: "Cao Cao will be here as soon as he says, let's just listen to what he has to say." Xu Fan was a little confused by what he said.  He asked with a confused look on his face: "What do you want me to say?" Han Yusong said: "It's because you were tricked some time ago." Xu Fan scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "Seriously, this matter  It¡¯s a nightmare for me. I really don¡¯t want to mention it anymore.¡± Han Yusong poured a cup of tea for Xu Fan and said, ¡°Lao Xu, I think you should open your heart and explain it openly.  Once the knot is cleared, the matter will be over. Otherwise, the more you are afraid of mentioning it now, the greater the impact will be on you. In the end, it is likely that you will be bitten by a snake and be afraid of the rope for ten years. " Xu Fan pondered.  After a moment, he nodded and said: "What you said does make sense. Now I really have such a trend. But before I say that, can you introduce me to these friends?" "Of course"  Han Yusong introduced the two parties with a smile. Xu Fan was surprised for a moment when he heard that the old and young people in front of him were Qiao Qingtai and Chu Chen, and then he started to get excited and even spoke a little awkwardly.  After chatting for a while, Xu Fan, who finally calmed down, told everyone about the incident in which he was tricked.  One day in March this year, a man in his thirties came to Xu Fan's antique shop. This man had dark brown skin and a thin body. At first glance, he looked like a man who had been facing the earth all day long.  farmers.  The man would sell some antiques to Xu Fan from time to time, and the price he offered was always far lower than the actual value of the antiques.  Faced with the "taken advantage of" who came to his door, Xu Fan couldn't help but secretly rejoice: It's pie in the sky, this man's money is so profitable.  As time went by, Xu Fan became friends with the man and found out that his name was Tian Dazhuang, a shovel from Shanxi Province. He knew many bosses who liked antiques. Because the Three Gorges cultural relics are now more popular, he often came to Xiazhou to hunt for treasures.  And the reason why he sold things to Xu Fan was just to earn travel expenses.  Xu Fan didn¡¯t have much doubt about this, because although the things Tian Dazhuang sold him were cheap, they wereIt is a relatively common item, probably just to earn travel expenses as Tian Dazhuang said.  After going back and forth like this, one day, Tian Dazhuang enthusiastically set up a line for Xu Fan and wanted to introduce him to a big boss who wanted to buy antiques. He said that the boss had a high vision and was generous, but the boss didn't want the Three Gorges cultural relics, otherwise the business would be ruined.  He just did it himself.  When Xu Fan heard that there was such a good thing, and that Tian Dazhuang had placed the transaction at a particularly famous local hotel, he hurriedly agreed without much thought.  On the day of the transaction, Xu Fan came to the hotel carrying a portable safe filled with antiques and had already reserved a private room.  Soon, Tian Dazhuang brought a well-dressed man, about 27 or 27 years old, into the private room. The young man told Xu Fan that the boss had something to do temporarily, and he, as his assistant, would act as the sole agent.  At the dinner table, the young man clapped his chest and said: "As long as the goods are good, the price is not a problem." Not long after, the two parties agreed on the price easily.  After the business was concluded, the young man said that he would pay after dinner.  Xu Fan thought that he was not in a hurry, so he did not refuse.  But Xu Fan became drunk soon after drinking. When he woke up, he found that he was already lying in the hospital.  Speaking of this, Xu Fan still seemed a little scared: "The doctor told me at the time that the anesthetics administered by that group were very heavy. If I hadn't been in good health, I would probably never wake up again. It's my blessing.  You have a lot of luck. If you lose your money, you can make it again. If you lose your life, you will lose everything! So, you have to be careful when meeting strangers. If the other person has bad intentions, you may lose both your life and wealth. ¡±  Nodding in agreement, as the old saying goes, you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others. Although there are still many good people in society, but the right way is that money can make the world go round. When encountering things related to money,  Don't treat it carelessly, otherwise you will suffer disaster if you are not careful.  Qiao Qingtai said: "Xiao Xu, to put it lightly, I don't want to say whether your relationship with that Tian Dazhuang is deep or not. When you go out to discuss business, especially if you have valuables with you, it's best to bring a trustworthy friend with you.  " "Mr. Qiao, you are right." Xu Fan said with shame, "I was too careless at the time, but in the end, I was knocked unconscious by the pie Tian Dazhuang threw at me." "So.  "We who are in the antique business should not be greedy for small profits." Chu Chen sighed, and then asked: "Have these people been found yet?" "I went to inquire the day before yesterday, and they said there were no clues.  " Xu Fan sighed. It has been almost a month, and there is still no progress in the case. It is estimated that even if the case is finally solved, he will not be able to get his things back.  Han Yusong comforted him and said: "Old Xu, a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. Maybe things will turn around and you will make a fortune?" Xu Fan said listlessly: "Forget it if you make a fortune, I can pay you back.  Qing, just make some more pension money." Han Yusong said, "Lao Xu, I won't tell you anymore. All the debts you owed me have been paid off." "That's what you think.  I won't admit it." Xu Fan refused simply, then took out a small box from his clothes, put it on the table and opened it.  ¡° Inside the box, there was a jade bear that was only six or seven centimeters tall. The shape of this instrument was vivid and naive.  One of the bear's hind paws is kneeling on the ground, and the other hind paw is crouched, forming a squatting posture.  The bear's head is thrust forward, its ears are raised, its small round eyes are looking straight, its mouth is open and its teeth are exposed, and its front paws are on its knees.  The bristles on the face are clearly defined, while the fur is expressed in short curves throughout the body.  At this time, Xu Fan said: "Let's take a look at this bear-shaped jade paperweight. I think it should be from the Han Dynasty. I don't know if it is right." After saying that, he made a gesture to everyone.  Everyone was not polite and started to observe carefully one by one.  When it was Chu Chen's turn, he found that the shape of the vessel was primitive, the carving was exquisite, and the image was freehand. He could count the knives while chatting, and the knives showed their skill. The depictions were vivid and aura, which showed that the craftsmanship was extraordinary.  Judging from the sword technique and jade quality, Chu Chen believed that this was indeed a jade paperweight from the Han Dynasty. Furthermore, it should be in the style of the Eastern Han Dynasty.  There are very few paperweights from the Han Dynasty that have been handed down to this day, and most of them are made of copper. Very few jade paperweights have survived to this day due to the lack of resources, difficulty in mining, and vulnerability to damage.  Therefore, this jade bear paperweight is really rare and very precious.  Everyone discussed it for a while and agreed that this should be a jade bear paperweight from the Eastern Han Dynasty. This made Xu Fan very happy and even said that it seemed that his fortune had really turned out well.  Hearing what he said, Han Yusong felt a little curious and asked:"Old Xu, where did you get this?" Xu Fan chuckled and said, "Someone came to my store to sell it yesterday afternoon. The price is not expensive." Han Yusong heard this and said with a smile: "Old Xu  , You haven¡¯t encountered a liar again, have you?¡± Xu Fan said: ¡°What you said, I won¡¯t even learn a lesson, right? Besides, the person who sold me something was not just now.  Get out of here?" "Who are you talking about?" Everyone looked surprised.  Xu Fan said with some surprise: "That middle-aged man in a white shirt just now, isn't he here to sell antiques?"
