Wealth and beauty know no bounds

  It seems that Zhang Yang's expression was somewhat unpleasant, and he really treated Lao Zi as a fool. However, he said that antiques rely on one's eyes, so he had to try it out for himself! If it were before today, Zhang Yang would never have considered this, but after absorbing the spiritual energy from the jade, he had an idea - his eyes seemed to have evolved, from one eye to two, and time had also undergone tremendous changes. Was there still some secret that he hadn't discovered?

  Meng Fei didn't notice Zhang Yang's expression and continued to stir him up with his glib tongue: "Brother, now is the era of national collection. You can see from TV shows that ten years ago, who paid attention to antiques? Now even ordinary people know that antiques are valuable, they go home and rummage through old things. What's it for? Isn't it just for money? Not only do ordinary people love collecting, but rich people, especially businessmen, like collecting even more. This is not only a way for them to invest and manage their finances, but also has other considerations."

  Seeing Zhang Yang's confusion, Meng Fei's voice lowered and said: "Younger brother, let me tell you a secret! Do you know what most businessmen buy antiques for?"

  Zhang Yang really doesn't know about this.

  "Let me tell you, they use it to give gifts. Now is not the past, the era of opening roads with money. The officials are all clever, they don't directly accept money, it's easy to leave a handle. Originally, they also accepted houses, but after the house sister and house younger sister incident, no one accepts houses anymore. So what do they accept?" Meng Fei said.

  "Antique?"

  "It's not bad, it's an antique. The value of antiques can only be known when they are circulated, and if they are placed at home, who knows whether this thing is real or fake? How much is it worth? Even if something happens, without an expert's appraisal, ordinary people can't tell. More importantly, antique transactions are all conducted in secret, making it difficult to investigate their origin. For example, you say that the vase I have at home is worth one million, sorry, I don't know, this was bought by me at Panjiayuan, and at that time, I spent two thousand yuan on it. This antique thing has no clear price tag, how much money was spent to buy it, it's all up to the individual to decide. In the future when selling it, you can also say that it was picked up cheaply." Meng Fei said with a vivid tone.

  Zhang Yang suddenly thought of something and asked: "You said that now businessmen all like to invest in antiques? Do officials also like it?"

  "Of course, otherwise Brother would not make a profit. Younger brother, let me tell you, I have many good goods, all of which were obtained from the hands of big shots. Their things are of unknown origin, and they themselves do not know the specific price, but they are eager to get rid of them, so we can easily buy them at a low price and sell them at a high price. In fact, some antiques can be sold for a good price when they are in someone's hands. I have such a customer, he likes antiques, but his hobby is very unusual: thumb rings. Then someone buys the thumb ring and gives it to him, he sells it to me, and so this thumb ring has been circulating in my hands four or five times." Meng Fei said.

  Zhang Yang sneered, this is not about liking to count money, but rather liking money itself. Wanting to be a prostitute and also wanting to set up a brothel, so they came up with such an excuse.

  Meng Fei's words reminded Zhang Yang of his childhood, when their family lived in a small county town. At that time, there was only one small store next to the hospital that sold Maotai wine. One day, the owner of the supermarket got drunk and spilled the beans. It turned out that his small store actually only had two bottles of Maotai wine. And these two bottles of Maotai, he would sell them today and someone would return them tomorrow. Who would have thought that such an ancient bribery method would be used on antiques today?

  Apart from the price of antiques being a bit higher, the essence of things has not changed at all.

  Interesting, businessmen like to invest, I wonder if Xiao Fei will participate?

  When officials like antiques, will there be a Wang Yunlai among them?

  Zhang Yang suddenly became very interested in the antique market. If it's really like Meng Fei described, he should seriously consider it.

  "Meng Ge, I haven't dealt with antiques either, so I don't know what's going on. How about I go to your store and take a look?" Zhang Yang said.

  "No problem, let's go after we finish eating."

  "Alright then, we'll go over in a bit," Zhang Yang said with a smile.

  The voice fell, and Zhang Yang's phone rang.

  "Zhang Yang, have you gone to Lido Company?" Hong Yaqin asked with concern.

  Zhang Yang took a glance at Meng Fei and said loudly, "I've been there, don't say it's really good. I bought a stone this morning, guess how much I made, 16 million."

  Hong Yaqin furrowed her brow and said: "Didn't you call my friend?"

  Zhang Yang said: "No!" Then he asked strangely: "How did you know?"

  "Hum, I've told my friend already, if you go find him, don't let him gamble with stones." Hong Yaqin said.

  Zhang Yang found it somewhat inexplicable, damn, how can there be such a person, fortunately I didn't listen to her, otherwise today would have been disastrous.

  "Miss Hong, I'm glad you introduced me to your friend. But I'm not happy that you interfered with my business. What's our relationship? Who are you to manage my affairs? This is the last time, if there's a next time, our relationship will end here." Zhang Yang slammed down the phone.

  This woman is too domineering, almost ruining her own good fortune. Are all women like this, extremely self-loving? She's just using me to play a role, but she really thinks I'm her boyfriend!

  Hong Yaqin was taken aback by Zhang Yang's sudden outburst, she had always thought that Zhang Yang was a gentle and even-tempered person! Now it turns out that all of this was just a facade! It seems that the reason why Zhang Yang has been acting so rational is because he hasn't had his own interests harmed.

  "Hong Jie, what's wrong? He hung up on you?" He Linlin shouted loudly: "Great, he has the nerve to do that! Hong Jie, your kindness is not only unappreciated, but he even dares to hang up on you. I'll go find him and settle the score!"

  "What's there to settle? We were just a transaction from the start. I was the one who got confused." Hong Yaqin said coldly.

  "What's wrong, had a quarrel with your girlfriend?" Meng Fei asked with a smile.

  Zhang Yang didn't explain, and with a smile on his face, he said, "Women are like this, they control too much. They don't let me do this, they don't let me do that. I just bet a little money, afraid of being cheated. It's my own money, I can do what I want with it, does she have the right to control?"

  Meng Fei nodded in agreement: "That's right, when we men do business, the most important thing is not to be influenced by women. Little brother is a real man, I admire you for being such a man. Those who see women and become soft and unable to move forward can't achieve anything."

  "It's still Meng Ge who understands me." Zhang Yang burst out laughing.

  Looking at Zhang Yang's silly appearance, Meng Fei secretly felt pleased with himself. With such a young man, as long as he followed his words and flattered him to the sky, on the day he sold him out, he would still be able to help him count his money.

  After dinner, Zhang Yang drove with Meng Fei and arrived at Panjiayuan.

  Arriving at Meng Fei's antique shop, Zhang Yang almost burst out laughing when he saw the sign above the door - "Duobao Pavilion", what a tacky name.

  "Come on in, little brother. Don't mind the small storefront, it's been around for decades." Meng Fei said with a smile.

  Zhang Yang was like a country bumpkin, from the moment he entered, he looked around east and west, at vases, paintings, furniture, Meng Fei's treasure trove had everything.

  "Little Li, brew a pot of pre-rain Longjing tea. Younger brother, let's go inside and do it. The things outside are all for cheating those foreigners. The good stuff is all inside, we'll slowly appreciate them later." Meng Fei instructed the store clerk and pulled Zhang Yang's hand, walking into the inner living room.
