He was chatting with his master.
"Ring ring ring."
Xiao Bai suddenly heard his cell phone ringing.
Looking at the unfamiliar numbers displayed above, Xiao Bai frowned slightly, then ignored it and pressed the hang up button.
"Ring ring ring."
Unexpectedly, just after hanging up, the other party called again. Seeing this, Xiao Bai had no choice but to pick up the phone.
"Hey, Xiao Xiao, I'm Xu Weiming. I wonder if you still remember me?"
Xiao Bai couldn't help being stunned when he heard this name.
Xu Weiming, it seems that he never left the other party's phone number. How did the other party find his number?
"Ah, Mr. Xu, I remember, I wonder if you called?"
Hearing Xiao Bai's doubts, Xu Weiming said with a smile: "After the last incident, I was very impressed with you. It was not easy to get your number."
"That's right. The reason why I'm looking for you is because there will be a secret ghost market in the imperial capital tomorrow night. I heard that there are extremely rare bronzes that will be auctioned in the ghost market."
"As soon as I heard about this, I thought of you. I wonder if you would be willing to do me a favor and go to the ghost market with me."
"I believe that with your unique vision for bronzes, you will be of great help to me."
Hearing Xu Weiming's words, Xiao Bai frowned slightly and didn't know what to do.
After a while.
"Mr. Xu, can I get back to you in half an hour? It's like this. I originally had a dinner party with friends tomorrow night, and I need to see if I can postpone it."
Hearing Xiao Bai's words, Xu Weiming didn't say much, just smiled and said hello, and agreed to call back in half an hour.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Bai told Qin Hai, who was sitting opposite and drinking tea.
"Master, this is what happened. Do you think I should go?"
After hearing Xiao Bai's words, Qin Hai picked up the water cup and took a sip of tea. After putting down the cup, he sighed softly.
"Go ahead, I know this ghost market and have been there before."
"Nothing in this world is black and white. Although some of the cultural relics in this ghost market are stolen and excavated, there are also some that came back from abroad through special channels."
"If no one buys these things, there is a high probability that they will be bought by foreign buyers."
"Especially some bronzes with text on them are especially popular with children in certain countries. After all, their countries have no history to speak of, so they can only find some sense of existence through other ways."
"Although the best destination for these things is to be confiscated by the police and then sent to the museum, the organizers of the ghost market are indeed very powerful. They only deal with regular customers or people brought by regular customers, and they also need to conduct capital verification."
"It's good that you can go take a look with the man named Xu this time, but I have a piece of advice for you. It's best not to buy some items with newly unearthed traces. Once it is verified by the police, you may be in big trouble. .”
Hearing Qin Hai's words, Xiao Bai nodded.
Then he took out his phone and looked at his savings.
He had already fully understood the incident at Liulichang, and all the seized funds had been returned to his bank card.
Now he has close to 15 million in funds in his card, which should be enough to cope with the capital verification.
Qin Hai saw through Xiao Bai's thoughts at a glance. Seeing Xiao Bai happily looking at the account balance, Qin Hai patted Xiao Bai's head angrily.
"Okay, stop looking, your little money shouldn't be enough."
"Even if you are invited by an old user to participate in the ghost market auction, you still need to verify the capital of 20 million in cash. You should just sell the bottle and the 7 stamps. If you die, you will only have 7 or 8 million left."
"I'll transfer fifteen million to you later, and then you can pay it back to me when you come back. For this matter, don't accept Xu Weiming's favor."
Hearing his master's words, Xiao Bai rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, and then told his master about the glass-grown snowflake jade he bought when he went to Ruili for the first time.
"Oh, my dear, what kind of luck do you have?"
"You just graduated not long ago, right? Now you have accumulated a net worth of more than 10 million?"
"It's amazing, it's amazing. It seems that I delayed you for four years, old man. Otherwise, the person standing in front of me now would probably be a super rich man."
Listening to Master Qin Hai's teasing, Xiao Bai smiled awkwardly.
At this time, Xu Weiming's phone rang again.
After hearing Xiao Bai's agreement, Xu Weiming immediately smiled and said: "Xiao Xiao, please send me your bank card number later, and I will transfer some money to you to handle the capital verification tomorrow, and then you can transfer it back to me after tomorrow. I."
Hearing this, Xiao Bai glanced at Qin Hai, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, I still have more than 20 million in my card. I wonder how much the capital verification will cost?"
Xu Weiming was not surprised when he heard Xiao Bai's words.
"Oh, there's no need for that. Just a 20 million current deposit will be verified. Then, Xiao Xiao, let's make an appointment to have dinner together tomorrow afternoon."
"The entrance time for the ghost market auction is nine o'clock in the evening. If you are willing to come and help me, I can't just rely on my old age and be a tough guy, right?"
After a few more pleasantries, Xiao Bai just hung up the phone and saw that the five million transferred to him by his master Qin Hai arrived in his account.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's eat. By the way, since you have that brand of glass-grown snowflake cotton on hand, it would be best if you bring me a piece of that brand next time you come over."
"It just so happens that I don't know where to buy a suitable one. You have to give Master a 20% discount..."
…
The next afternoon.
Just after three o'clock, Xiao Bai received a call from Xu Weiming.
When he went downstairs, a Mercedes-Benz Maybach was already parked downstairs of his house.
Seeing Xu Weiming standing outside the car with a smile, Xiao Bai quickly ran two steps and went up to say hello.
"Mr. Xu, I didn't expect that after I haven't seen you for more than a month, you are becoming more and more energetic."
Hearing Xiao Bai's words, Xu Weiming laughed twice.
"Oh, you kid, you are really good at talking. Come on, let's go directly to dinner."
"Today we made an appointment with a very good private restaurant. Today we also have Mr. Sun Liming who bought your stamps. He also decided to participate in this ghost market auction today, so I thought that since we all know each other, let's go together I ate it, I hope you don’t mind."
Hearing this, Xiao Bai didn't care.
If it was someone he didn't know at all, he would still feel a little uncomfortable, but since he knew them all and had done transactions, it was no problem.
"Anyway, I just ate and drank today. I have always heard that the private cuisine in the imperial capital is very famous, but I have never tasted it after living in the imperial capital for so many years. I would like to thank Mr. Xu for the hospitality today."
