Houhai Market is the paradise for antique trading in the entire Yandu City. Until now, countless big shots are fascinated by Houhai when they talk about it.
At that time, national antiques began to circulate, and people from all over the country gathered in Houhai.
What I pulled out of any old schoolbag was either a Xuande plate or a rhinoceros horn cup.
It sounds like a myth now, but at that time it was an extremely ordinary day-to-day life.
If we come to Houhai Market together, we will definitely be beaten.
There are only two openings in the street over there. When arresting people, if you pierce the two pockets, even the mice can't get out.
After arresting the person, the items were immediately confiscated without even an invoice.
Houhai Market was gone, so people moved to Drum Tower, Hongqiao, Xuanwumen, Temple of Heaven...
At the end of the cat-and-mouse game, the omnipotent businessmen and ordinary people chose Panjiayuan.
The reason why I chose Panjiayuan is simple.
Just one word.
big!
The big advantage is that it’s easy to run!
There was a time when Panjiayuan became a leek garden, which could not be killed no matter how much it was cut or burned.
Over time, Panjiayuan became famous throughout the country.
At that time, the real things in Panjiayuan were much less than those in Houhai, and the quality was several levels lower.
Later, when I wanted to completely eradicate the cancer of Panjiayuan, I suddenly discovered...
Here, it has become a must-visit internet celebrity place for white-skinned foreigners and overseas compatriots!
In this way, after years of unremitting efforts by countless land dealers and antique enthusiasts, Panjiayuan finally turned around and became a business card of Yandu City, becoming the world's number one flea market!
Stepping into the door of the market management office again, before he could say anything, he got a slap in the face.
"It's you again! Why are you here again, you damn liar?"
"Get out, get out!"
In the big office, the manager of the marketing department lost his temper when he saw me and waved me away.
I came here during my war preparations. It was this person who received me.
At that time, when this person saw that I was worshiping the mountain and paving the way without any cigarettes or alcohol, he took my business card, lit a cigarette, called me a liar, and kicked me out. .
I ignored him, opened my backpack, took out the 50,000 yuan in cash awarded by the Olympic construction company, put it on the table, and said something coldly.
"Rent a frontman!"
The donkey-faced man was suddenly stunned: "Hey. I haven't seen the chicken in a few days and turned into a swan. Is this money stolen from public funds by you?"
I couldn't stand him being such a gangster with a donkey face, so I gave him a cold look and said, "Are you done?"
The donkey-faced man chuckled: "What's going on now?"
"That's it, I can flush the toilet."
The donkey-faced man blinked like a mouse, his face full of confusion, and he didn’t understand what I was saying at all.
"Flushing the toilet means... flushing shit. Gegegege..."
A female voice speaking Mandarin from Guangdong Province came from the northwest corner.
A thin, short-haired cousin from Western Guangdong smiled with her mouth covered.
His Mandarin is not standard, and his small face with freckles has a very pure smile. The smiling eyebrows are like the crescent moon last night.
The donkey-faced man turned around and glared at the girl: "Shut up. Sit down and I'll deal with you later."
Turning around, he pointed at me with his donkey face: "You are calling me shit, right?"
"You scolded yourself."
I responded calmly.
"grandson!"
The donkey-faced man screamed in hatred: "Get out of here. Get out of here."
I didn't even blink: "Give me a lease. No. 101 Dongmen."
"I'll give you a piece of cake. Get out of here."
Without even looking at the donkey face, I pulled up a chair and sat down.
"Hey,***……"
Suddenly, the donkey-faced man stopped speaking and his expression changed slightly.
Placed in front of me was a pack of Gold Diamond Soft Gentai cigarettes and a foldable sci-fi mobile phone.
Working in Panjiayuan, a world-class second-hand goods center, I deal with all kinds of people every day. When I first saw these two things, my donkey-faced face immediately made me tremble.
Gold Diamond Soft Jingtai is sold in the market for 1,800 a piece. Most people don’t dare to smoke it, but those who smoke it don’t need to buy it.
This is an extra gift from the construction contractor.
The sci-fi mobile phone has only been out for two months, and it goes without saying that it is a deterrent.
The donkey-faced man resented the injustice, and suppressed his anger back into his stomach. After a long silence, he opened the drawer and smashed out a rental contract.
"East Gate 101 is gone, and only South Gate 275 is still vacant."
I whispered: "East Gate 141, South Gate 214..."
"It's all gone, all gone."
The donkey-faced man sat down on a rotten chair full of holes, put his feet on the table, and shook his feet at me: "I'm the only one talking about these two rooms. If you like it, rent it, or if you don't, get out."
The east gate 141 is next to the north corner, and the south gate 275 is next to the public toilet.
I definitely don’t want these two facades.
"North b320."
I said coldly: "Don't say it's not there, I see it's empty."
The donkey-faced man was a little surprised. He greedily looked at my diamond cigarette. His smoky, waxy hand touched the wrinkled soft cloud, and he held it for a long time before speaking in a sweet voice.
"The monthly rent is 10,000 yuan. The minimum rent is one year. The deposit is 50,000 yuan. Should I rent it or not?"
I had the urge to pull away and leave, but I resisted.
I can definitely go to other places to set up stalls, but the golden treasure land of Panjiayuan is unmatched by any other antique city.
If you want to open the market, you must first win over Panjiayuan.
"rent!"
As long as Panjiayuan is captured, within a year, I will ask Panjiayuan to beg me.
The donkey-faced man glanced sideways at me, his bubbly eyes full of ridicule: "Fill out the contract first."
I picked up the pen and filled out the contract blankly.
At this moment, a man stepped in, with a donkey face, he stood up and bowed in panic and called Captain Nie.
"Where is the person?"
"Over there!"
The donkey-faced man pointed fiercely at the northwest corner: "It's this little girl from western Guangdong. She sells black goods and prohibited items. I can tell at a glance."
"You are the one selling black goods and prohibited items. You are bullying us, the people of Western Guangdong Province."
The cousin from western Guangdong spoke angrily in nice Mandarin and said with a donkey face: "You are the worst in the whole Panjiayuan. You are all black, and your heart is also black."
The donkey-faced man suddenly became angry: "Little girl, I smashed your things."
"If you dare to smash it, you are damaging cultural relics. You are going to go to jail."
The cousin from western Guangdong is as brave as a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, which makes her look like a donkey in trouble.
The donkey-faced man was about to get angry when he was angry, but Captain Nie next to him snorted and immediately shrank his eggs and turned into a pug.
"Little girl, let me see your ID card."
Captain Nie looked at the certificate, turned around, glared at the donkey-faced man, and said to his cousin from western Guangdong with a smile.
"Classmate Xiao Xiao, are you okay with me taking a look at your things?"
The cousin from western Guangdong calmly opened the travel bag made of colorful striped cloth: "Let's take a look. You are welcome to read it. Remember to return it to me after you finish it."
The cousin from western Guangdong took out a small wooden box.
One foot high and twenty centimeters wide, covered with an invisible piece of leather.
There is a bat copper buckle on the front, which is full of patina.
There are semi-circular hand buckles on both sides. Although it is also full of patina, it is intact.
The box is dark brown overall, with parts grayish, with mottled leather shells and gray linen hangings.
There are two areas of rot where the upper and front hinges join, which looks pretty ugly.
"Official suitcase. Is this what you asked me to do?"
