Chapter 139: Master Ye, I am Just Your Dog!
Hearing Xiao Changkun say this, everyone else looked unbelievable.
Ma Lan asked in surprise: "You said someone is really willing to spend three hundred thousand to buy this piece of junk? Just this piece of junk, I think it can't even be sold for fifty yuan."
Xiao Changkun said proudly: "Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe it, look at the chat history!"
As he spoke, he opened the WeChat chat history, and a person named Ermao had sent him a voice message before.
Xiao Changkun clicked on the voice, and Zhang Ermao's voice came out: "Uncle Xiao, your pen holder is a good thing! I see it's a Qing Dynasty object. How about this, I'll give you three hundred thousand, you sell it to me!"
Ma Lan was pleasantly surprised and said: "Oh my god! It's true! Old Xiao, you are amazing, you have grown skills! Bought for five thousand, sold for three hundred thousand, if you do this a few more times, our family will be rich!"
Xiao Changkun chuckled and asked with a proud face: "Convinced? I ask you, convinced?"
"Convinced, convinced!" Ma Lan herself is a person who sees money and opens her eyes. Money is her own father and grandfather. Hearing that it can really be sold for three hundred thousand, she immediately forgot everything she just said, smiled and said: "My husband has also grown skills! Amazing, amazing! It seems that the most useless person in this family is Ye Chen!"
Ye Chen's face turned green. What does this have to do with me? At this time, don't forget to wrap me in and lose me? Do you know that the money he earned from trading medicine, that medicine was made by me?
It seems that I have to find an opportunity to ask that Zhang Ermao, which nerve didn't connect right? Isn't this clearly sending money to the father-in-law?
Xiao Changkun handed the pen holder to Ye Chen excitedly at this time and said: "Ye Chen, tomorrow you take the pen holder to find Zhang Ermao in the antique street. He will prepare three hundred thousand in cash for you, and you bring it back to me."
Ye Chen had to nod: "I know, Dad."
Xiao Changkun was satisfied in his heart and said arrogantly: "You, in the future, mix more in the antique and plaything circle with me. Maybe one day you can be like me, practice a pair of fiery eyes, and then we will go out to pick up big leaks together. Why worry about not being able to get rich?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Dad, you are right!" Ye Chen agreed, but thought in his heart: "You don't do any proper business all day, just listen to those ghost-talking treasure-hunting novels on your mobile phone, listening to the point of being addicted to antiques and playthings every day. I don't know how much money you lost and how much trouble you caused because of trading antiques. Still have the face to ask me to learn from you?"
"Why don't you think about it, when you were at Jiqingtang, you smashed someone's antique vase. If I hadn't helped you repair it, you would have been sued to jail by others. Can't you learn a lesson from this?"
However, Ye Chen thought about it again. His father-in-law is actually a funny old urchin who does everything like it's real, but he can't do anything. It's useless to talk about him. Let him feel good about himself.
Early the next morning, Xiao Changkun called Ye Chen excitedly and said directly: "Ye Chen, hurry up and take the pen holder to find Zhang Ermao. He has already prepared the cash!"
Ye Chen had to nod and ask: "Dad, aren't you going?"
Xiao Changkun said: "I'm going to the Calligraphy and Painting Association this morning. They invited me to a meeting and are preparing to let me join the association! After joining the association, there are many good things about internal auctions of calligraphy and painting, and many leaks can be picked up! Hey, you don't know, there are more opportunities to get rich in the calligraphy and painting field! Hey, I usually listen to those audio novels, some people can buy a real work of Wang Xizhi on the street for fifty yuan!"
Ye Chen thought: "You can just pull the ball down, Wang Xizhi has no surviving real works at all. You don't even know this, and you want to join the Calligraphy and Painting Association, thinking about making money by trading calligraphy and painting, then you are also blind..."
However, Ye Chen couldn't refute his father-in-law to his face, so he said helplessly: "Well, I'll go to the antique street to find Zhang Ermao."
Since the father-in-law has explained it, Ye Chen is ready to set off for the antique street.
Xiao Churan happened to be resting today, and was bored, so she said: "Ye Chen, I'll go and see too."
Ye Chen nodded and said: "Just right, drive your car."
Xiao Churan said: "You drive, I don't want to drive."
"Okay, I'll drive."
The couple drove to the antique street together.
The antique street on the weekend is when there are the most people.
Zhang Ermao is an old veteran of the antique street and has his own fixed stall, so Ye Chen found him as soon as he went.
At this time, Zhang Ermao was holding a fake jade pendant, bragging to a couple from out of town, spitting and saying: "I tell you, this jade is a treasure worn by Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty. Later, didn't he hang himself on Jingshan in Jingcheng? This jade pendant fell into the hands of Li Zicheng. Later, Li Zicheng was defeated, his grandson took this jade and escaped, and after many twists and turns, it finally fell to me..."
"So amazing?" The middle-aged man asked in surprise: "How much does this jade sell for?"
Zhang Ermao smiled and said: "I see you have a fate with this jade. How about this, you take it for 188,000. If you go out of this antique street, find any auction house, selling it for 1.8 million is no problem."
The woman curled her lips: "It's ten times more expensive when you go out of the antique street, why don't you go directly? Treat us like fools? Really, husband, let's go!"
After finishing, the woman pulled her husband away.
Zhang Ermao cursed in place: "Damn, when did out-of-town tourists become so smart?"
Ye Chen saw this, walked up and smiled: "I said Zhang Ermao, are you still cheating and deceiving here?"
"Ouch!" As soon as Zhang Ermao saw Ye Chen, his liver trembled with excitement, and he hurriedly greeted him, nodding and bowing: "Master Ye, why do you have time to come here!"
After finishing, he looked at Xiao Churan beside him and exclaimed: "Oh! This must be your wife, Master Ye? Truly a talented man and a beautiful woman!"
Ye Chen said: "Less flattery, I came to find you this time. I heard you want to buy my father-in-law's pen holder for three hundred thousand?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhang Ermao nodded repeatedly, excitedly saying: "Your father-in-law is truly a god! He can pick up such a big leak. The pen holder is worth at least three or four hundred thousand. Amazing, amazing!"
Ye Chen pulled Zhang Ermao aside and whispered: "Stop talking nonsense with me. Anyone in the antique street can see that this broken pen holder is fake. The only one who can't see it is my father-in-law. You spend three hundred thousand to buy such a thing, you must be losing money? Tell me, why?"
Zhang Ermao hurriedly said: "Master Ye, you have good eyes. To tell you the truth, I also want to show filial piety to you. Last time your father-in-law brought two divine medicines and asked me to resell them, earning one or two million. I came back and thought about it, and felt uneasy in my heart. You said that the medicine made by you, Master Ye, I earned the big head, which is not appropriate, right?"
As he spoke, Zhang Ermao smiled flatteringly and said: "So, I thought of another way to share some profit with you, Master Ye. I know you treat money like dirt, so I repaid you from your father-in-law."
Ye Chen sneered: "You can do it, Zhang Ermao. You cheated the divine medicine I gave my father-in-law, gave him hundreds of thousands, you earned millions, and you think spending three hundred thousand to buy his pen holder can atone for your sins?"
Zhang Ermao was so scared that he trembled all over: "Master Ye, please forgive me! If you are not satisfied, I will return the money to you later! I don't ask for anything else, just to be your friend!"
Zhang Ermao couldn't afford to offend Ye Chen. He knew that Ye Chen is very powerful now, many big shots regard him as a master, and even the metaphysics master from Hong Kong was said to have been destroyed by him, so he only thought about pleasing Ye Chen.
Ye Chen glanced at Zhang Ermao and said faintly: "Forget it, I, Ye Chen, am the most reasonable in doing things. My father-in-law didn't know the value of the pill himself and thought he took advantage of you. It's his own fault that he suffered a loss."
After finishing, he looked at Zhang Ermao and said: "Let's leave it at that. But in the future, in the antique and plaything field, I might need you. When the time comes, be smart, do you hear me?"
Zhang Ermao immediately said excitedly: "Master Ye, don't worry, in the future, I, Zhang Ermao, will be your dog, Master Ye. Whatever you tell me to do, I will do!"
