The old man Geng and Zhang Hengyue met at a hot pot restaurant on the first floor. There was a huge Chaoshan Beef Ball sign outside the door, but the front door was not big, and there were stairs directly after entering the door. You had to climb up to the second floor to really enter the hot pot restaurant.
As soon as Zhang Heng got out of the car, he found a few sneaky guys, pretending to be passers-by or small businessmen nearby, but without exception, they were all paying attention to the movement outside the hot pot restaurant.
In connection with what happened before, these people should be the people sent by Mr. G to protect old man Geng's safety.
Zhang Heng and old man Geng haven't seen each other for a while since they separated last time. The latter is the middleman in this transaction, helping to match the buyer and the seller. He knows a lot of things, so it's not surprising that they will be targeted. After being attacked by the bosozoku last time, for his own safety, he should have gone back to clean up, and then moved to the first floor.
Zhang Heng ignored the people downstairs and walked upstairs along the stairs.
The old man Geng and his supplier friend had already arrived ahead of time and had already ordered food.
When Zhang Heng's figure appeared, the old man Geng immediately got up and waved, and then handed over the menu, "See what else you want to eat, you're welcome, I'll pay the bill, just add it to your previous reward for protecting me. "
Unlike the previous few meetings, old man Geng was obviously much more enthusiastic this time.
The main reason is that he has already seen Zhang Heng's skills. No matter when, it is always good to be polite to someone who can't be provoked at all, not to mention that Zhang Heng saved old man Geng once before.
"No, just order it." Zhang Heng said, pulling out the chair and sitting down.
So old man Geng casually added another plate of beef and shrimp slippery, and returned the menu to the waiter at the side.
Taking advantage of the time before serving the dishes, Zhang Heng raised his head and looked at the man next to old man Geng. He was younger than old man Geng. He looked about in his early forties, and his figure was in good shape. The muscles on his arms showed He should be engaged in manual work, and the strangle marks on his wrists indicate that he often wears gloves, and his small eyes are flickering vigilantly, which not only shows that he does not trust Zhang Heng very much, but also shows that what he is doing now is probably not good enough. Not very legal.
"Let me introduce you," said old man Geng, "this is my supplier and an old friend. More than half of the products in the House of Old Things are provided to me by him. We will split the proceeds fifty-fifty, of course, if you want to buy it directly from him, he is... "
Old man Geng was interrupted by the man next to him before he finished speaking. He stretched out his hand, "Just call me Gold Digger, that's what everyone around me calls."
Seeing this, Zhang Heng reached out to shake hands with the gold digger, and then introduced himself, "Zhang Heng."
"Listen, Zhang Heng, you were introduced by Lao Geng, that's why I'm willing to come to see you, but I also have my rules, some things are better explained in advance, that is, you and I make a deal Don’t ask too much, whether it’s the source of things or things related to me, you’d better not talk too much, we pay with one hand, and deliver with one hand, it’s fair and reasonable, and once I find out, you will deal with me Tell others, and our transaction will also be terminated." The gold digger said.
Zhang Heng nodded, "Sounds reasonable."
"Very good." The gold digger was also very satisfied with Zhang Heng's cooperation and knowledge, and his vigilant eyes on Zhang Heng eased a little, "As long as we cooperate happily, it's not like we can't get to know each other better after we get acquainted."
"That would be great." Zhang Heng said calmly.
The old man Geng on the side didn't have time to interrupt, and his forehead was sweating. Although he had repeatedly reminded the gold diggers to be more polite before Zhang Heng came, the latter obviously didn't take it to heart, and was still using his previous set of things to deal with it. Zhang Heng, and judging by his appearance, obviously felt that he had controlled the situation, and he was quite complacent.
But the old man Geng himself has a lot of lessons learned from the past. He knows that Zhang Heng has never been someone who can be easily controlled. The reason why he is so polite is because what the gold diggers say has nothing to do with his interests.
But before old man Geng had time to remind his old friend, the hot pot restaurant on the other side had already started serving food.
The gold digger naturally took himself into the position of the owner, and began to greet Zhang Heng for dinner, and Zhang Heng was also "interesting" as always, and the three of them quickly finished two plates of beef.
The gold digger ate happily, and even unbuttoned his shirt, shouting to the waiter to increase the air-conditioning, and finally turned the topic to the main topic, "Old Geng said, what are you collecting... um, shellac records. "
"Yes." Zhang Heng put the sweet potato chips into the pot, and then asked, "Can you find it for me?"
"This thing is not easy to do." The gold digger said, "Lao Geng told you that shellac records are rare, especially in the space below. Although I can help you find them, I have to pay a lot myself. The price, but since you are Lao Geng’s friend, I won’t ask you too much, just... four thousand credits for one card.”
"One hundred." Zhang Heng didn't look up.
"What?" The gold digger suspected that something was wrong with his ears.
"One hundred sheets." Zhang Heng said lightly.
It's coming, it's coming.
The old man Geng on the other side smiled wryly. He remembered that when the two met for the first time, he initially offered 3,000 yuan, but Zhang Heng countered with 100 yuan. Now it seems that the latter is not aimed at him, but It's the price for everyone.
"Say it again." The gold digger blew his beard and stared.
"One hundred and one, and I want a lot, you'd better find a way to find more."
"Boy, are you looking for something? Didn't you hear me say that this thing is rare, and I have to pay a price if I want to get it?" The gold digger slapped his chopsticks on the table while talking.
"I heard it, but I don't believe a word." Zhang Hengdao also put down his chopsticks, "You are from the garbage disposal plant, right? You work on the fifth floor? Secretly pick up some old things that may look useful from the garbage, Give it to old man Geng to help you sell it."
"You told him?" The gold digger turned his head and looked angrily at old man Geng.
Seeing this, old man Geng quickly shook his head, "It's not me, it's not me, we have been friends for so many years, have you ever seen me betray you?"
"Then how did he know?" The gold digger still looked skeptical after hearing old man Geng's justification.
"Don't think about it, it's your clothes that told me, and to be honest, the channels for these things are also limited, basically they come from the fourth and fifth floors, but judging by your appearance, you live on the second floor at most, are you It is impossible to contact the upper-level buyers, and given the income of the other party, it is unlikely that these old things will be specially sold for money, so the answer is actually obvious." Zhang Hengdao.
"Although you changed into casual clothes before coming here, there are marks on your hands from wearing gloves all year round, and you still wear waterproof boots on hot days, and you also suffer from certain waist diseases. Start here, I have seen you stretch your waist at least three times, but your strong arms show that you are not usually sitting in an office, so here comes the problem, often wearing gloves, wearing boots, and constantly bending over , and you can come into contact with old things. I can’t think of any other place for this kind of work besides the garbage disposal plant. In addition, you warned me not to ask me when you came up, and you also explained from the side that according to the work regulations, You shouldn't be taking those old things out of the garbage disposal plant."
