Zixuan muttered, "How would I know? Anyway, you just scolded me, and Sister Qingman scolded me like that. I'm not happy!"
Li Rui laughed and said, "Are you jealous of Qingman?"
Zixuan was so embarrassed that he became angry. He reached out and pinched Li Rui's ribs.
Li Rui grimaced in pain and scolded, "Stupid girl, I'm not your husband if I don't spank your ass tonight."
Zixuan sneered and said, "We'll talk about it when you have the time!"
Li Rui drove to Xu Da's house and picked him up with Kang Zhiwei, who was rushing over to meet up with them. They drove four cars to the old goods market in Donghua District. There were many antique stores there, and it was also the largest antique distribution center in the city.
Kang Zhiwei was about the same age as Xu Da. He was thin, had a crew cut, and had a long face. His eyes were not big, but they were smart. He was very straightforward and didn't feel bad about Li Rui and Zixuan, two strangers who suddenly broke into such a private shipping operation. Instead, he openly showed the gold and silver bars he brought in to the two people in the car.
Li Rui and Zixuan were both very rich people and had taken out similar treasures before. Therefore, they weren't shocked by Kang Zhiwei's inventory.
Zixuan asked casually, "How much can you make if you sell all this gold and silver?"
Kang Zhiwei had already calculated this, so he said without thinking, "Between 150,000 and 200,000. My expectation is 180,000. With this 180,000, plus my savings, I can pay the down payment for a house. Haha. "
Zixuan nodded and praised, "Not bad, you'll make a lot of money from this transaction."
Kang Zhiwei smiled and said, "I took advantage of it. My brothers in the construction team are in a hurry to sell …"
The four of them chatted and laughed, and soon they arrived at the old goods market. After Li Rui parked the car, the four of them walked into the old goods market and soon arrived in front of a big shop. The store was huge. It was considered a large one in the old goods market. Just the front of the store was as wide as four to five rooms. It was about five to six times bigger than the few small stores that he had seen on his way here. Above the door, there was a signboard with three big words written on it: Treasure Hall.
Kang Zhiwei explained, "This Treasure Hall is the biggest antique store in the market. The owner is called Second Master Chen. He's not a small character. He's rich and can buy my goods in one go. Let's go in and ask. If the price he offers is reasonable, we'll sell it to him. If it's not, we'll go to another shop. Don't you guys have nothing to do? Let's just treat it as a shopping trip. Once we sell them, we'll find a big restaurant and have a good meal. "
Li Rui and Zixuan were amused by his words and nodded in agreement.
The four of them pushed open the door and walked into the shop. They immediately felt like they had entered another world. First of all, it was cool and refreshing. At this time, the sun was shining brightly outside, and the surface temperature was as high as 40 degrees Celsius. It was so hot that it made people feel irritated. However, the air conditioner in the shop was on full blast, and the cool breeze made people feel very comfortable. Secondly, Second Master Chen's shop was really not of the usual high class. The shop was wide and spacious, and the decorations imitated the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was high-end and classy. The four walls were decorated with carved mahogany shelves, and the shelves were filled with all kinds of rare antiques. On both sides of the door, there were two tables and chairs that were used to entertain guests.
At this time, there were four to five customers in the shop. Some were lying on the counter looking at the treasures, some were walking around the room, and some were sitting on the chairs drinking water. There were also three to four shop assistants serving these customers.
Kang Zhiwei found a shop assistant and said that he wanted to sell some private goods to Second Master Chen, but he could not let outsiders see it.
The shop assistant expressed that he understood. He led the four of them to the back door and went up to the second floor. He invited the four of them to wait in a room while he went to find the boss.
This room was specially used for secret transactions. There was only a square table and four benches in the room. Other than that, there was nothing else. The four of them sat around the square table. Kang Zhiwei put the backpack on the table and opened the zipper, revealing the gold and silver bars inside so that Second Master Chen could see them when he entered the room.
After five to six minutes, a man in his fifties walked into the room. He was wearing a black Tang suit. He was half-bald, had broom-like eyebrows, rat eyes, a flat nose, a toad's mouth, and a black mole at the corner of his mouth. There were even two strands of black hair on the mole. His appearance could be said to be mean and cunning. One look and you could tell that he was not a good person.
As he entered the room, his gaze swept over Kang Zhiwei and the other three. He found that only Kang Zhiwei looked familiar. Just as he was about to greet him, he caught sight of the pile of shiny gold and silver treasures on the table. His eyes immediately lit up.
Kang Zhiwei stood up and said with a smile, "Second Master Chen, you are here!"
Second Grandpa Chen expressionlessly agreed. He walked to the front of the table and casually took out a gold bar. He first looked at its quality and then weighed it a few times. He was very surprised and cried out, "Aiyo, where did you get so many yellow and white fish?"
Kang Zhiwei's smile became a little awkward and said, "I got them from a friend."
Second Master Chen's eyes flashed. He stared at his smile for a few times and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He then casually glanced at Gao Zixuan at the side. It was originally a casual glance, but when he saw Gao Zixuan's face, he found that it was shockingly a devastatingly beautiful woman. He was stunned for a moment and didn't do anything else.
Kang Zhiwei said, "Second Master, there are a total of eleven yellow fish in this batch. The number of white fish is the same. Each yellow fish is two hundred grams. The purity is about …"
Second Master Chen's gaze turned back to his face and asked, "You got it from a friend? How come I don't know who in Jingnan City can take out so many yellow fish at once? Even I can't take it out. "
Kang Zhiwei said with a smile, "Second Master, you don't need to care about this right? You just need to take it. "
Second Master Chen took the gold bar in his hand and sniffed it for a while. He sneered and said, "I don't care? I never take treasures with no origin! Tell me, did you dig up someone's grave or rob someone's grave? "
Kang Zhiwei more or less had a guilty conscience. His expression changed and he said, "Second Master, don't talk nonsense. It's far from that. I just bought it properly. I never do things like stealing graves."
Second Grandpa Chen coldly laughed and said, "You brat, you can deceive others, but you can't deceive me. When I was setting up a stall in the old goods market, you brat were still fooling around somewhere. You still want to fool me? Let me tell you, this yellow fish still has a layer of coffin pulp smell on it. It must have been unearthed not long ago and can't be more than two days old. Hurry up and tell me the truth so we can cover it up for you. Otherwise, you'll get into trouble when you go to the officials. However, there's a saying in the jianghu that when you meet, you get half. You have to do something, right? "
When Zixuan heard him say that the gold bar had a smell, he was shocked. He took out a gold bar and sniffed it, but he couldn't smell anything.
Li Rui and Xu Da stared at Second Master Chen. The two brothers could tell that this Second Master Chen had bad intentions, but they didn't expect him to be so daring. In front of the four of them, he still wanted to play the game of blackmail.
Kang Zhiwei was shocked and angry. He shouted, "Second Master, I respect you as a senior in our market, so I came to deal with you. Your words are not righteous. What? Money Grubber, you want to take half? I borrowed money from my relatives to get these treasures. What right do you have to take half of it? Do you think I'm easy to bully? You may have heard of my, Kang Zhiwei's, background. I've never caused trouble, but I've never been afraid of trouble. If there really is someone who is greedy for money and bullies me, I'm not that easy to bully. "
"Aiyo!"
Second Master Chen shouted exaggeratedly. He scolded, "Little bastard, who the f * ck are you trying to challenge? Second Master is giving you face by giving you half. Not f * cking giving you a 30: 70 split is letting you off easy. Do you believe that I'll call Old Zheng in charge of the local police station right now and ask him to bring people to arrest you! You're just a f * cking drug dealer. How can you suddenly have so much gold in your hands? Do you think you came from the right path? You're definitely stealing and digging graves. You'll definitely be caught. Don't f * cking refuse to give face. You better think about it carefully. " After he finished speaking, he fiercely glared at Li Rui and Xu Da, as if he wanted to arrest them as well.
Speaking of which, Kang Zhiwei was really afraid of meeting the authorities. In other words, he was really afraid that Second Master Chen would call the police. Because the treasures in front of him were really stolen and dug graves. Although he didn't do it himself, the nature of the treasures were grave goods. This couldn't be hidden no matter what. If the police really got involved and investigated the origins of this batch of treasures, not only would he have wasted his time and money, but he would also implicate his brothers in the construction team. Therefore, Second Master Chen's threat still carried a lot of weight.
Kang Zhiwei thought about this point clearly. His face couldn't help but reveal a bit of nervousness and panic. He pleaded, "Second Master, I'm here for your reputation. You can't be so unjust."
Second Master Chen saw the change in his expression and was very proud. He pointed at the treasures and said, "How am I unjust? It's because I'm righteous that I'm patiently talking to you. Otherwise, I would have already called the police. Brat, if you know how to conduct yourself, then hurry up and give me half. I promise this matter won't be spread. But if you don't want to conduct yourself, then I'm sorry. I'll immediately call the police. Hmph. "
Zixuan sneered and said, "This is the first time I've seen a boss doing business like this. He can even open a shop like this. I'm really impressed."
Second Master Chen said casually, "Beauty, you don't have to insult me. I think I'm quite worthy of your friend. This is called a fair trade. He doesn't want to bear the crime of stealing and selling grave goods, so he has to do something with me and spend money to buy peace. Anyway, these treasures are a business without capital. Even if he gives me half, he won't lose anything. "
