After a peaceful exchange.
Uncle Jiu felt refreshed and in a much better mood.
Russell pouted, looking very aggrieved.
At this time, some changes occurred in the Ancient Jade House.
The shopkeeper and the young man walked to the door, and the shopkeeper spoke.
"Zhang San, you stay here and watch over the store. I'm going to go to the east end of the street and see if I can pick up some goods."
"Okay! Don't worry, boss. I've been to the store more than once or twice. There will be absolutely no problem."
Zhang San agreed eagerly and patted his chest as a guarantee.
The shopkeeper obviously knew what kind of person he was, and didn't buy his tricks at all. "Remember this, kid. You are not allowed to receive or sell goods when I'm not around. You are not qualified!"
Zhang San responded, "Boss, that's right, how dare I touch your treasure!"
"Just be an apprentice and don't have any crooked thoughts or extraneous ideas. The world of antiques is very complicated!"
The shopkeeper reminded him again and again, and Zhang San looked a little impatient. After a while, the shopkeeper turned around and left.
He had just left and hadn't walked far when Zhang San spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, his face full of resentment and indignation.
"You old thing, I'm here to be your apprentice, not to be your servant. You're just handing over useless things."
Zhang San snorted twice, put the towel on his shoulders, put his hands into his wide sleeves, and lay down on a chair at the door of the store to bask in the sun.
Russell saw it all clearly from a distance, and was completely convinced by Uncle Jiu's behavior: he was cruel, scheming, and lazy.
You are really good at judging people!
The funnel above Zhang San's head was spinning faster and faster, and his fortune was slowly decreasing. It was almost at the mouth of the funnel and was about to flow out.
This should be what the master called a disaster of financial loss.
Russell was a little curious. What happened to this financial disaster
Meteorite falling from the sky
Fire in the backyard
Accidentally smashed an antique
At this time, a man came from the corner of the street and immediately attracted Russell's attention. The man was wealthy, dressed in luxurious clothes, and had ten jade rings on two fingers.
There was also a servant dressed as a boy following behind him.
The middle-aged man walked in front, and the servant followed behind him, "Master, Master, please walk slower, be careful not to fall."
"nonsense!"
The middle-aged man scolded, and turned around and said, "How could a person on that flat ground fall down? Could it be that a little ghost tripped him?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Russell saw clearly that the man tripped over his right foot with his left foot and fell down.
This guy is quite heavy, and even though he is so far away, he can still feel the ground shaking.
Zhang San, who was lying in front of the antique shop and basking in the sun, saw the middle-aged man fall and had a look of glee on his face.
But the next moment, Zhang San's eyes widened like gongs.
The middle-aged man was seen slumped on the ground, with a look of regret on his face, and a dozen disobedient silver ingots sticking out of his chest.
This is a rich man.
Zhang San turned over and stood up quickly, with a charming look on his face, "Sir, let me help you up, are you hurt?"
It really proves the saying that he is very scheming. I was absolutely right.
Russell smiled. The people in Renjia Town are really simple and honest!
Even when he fell to the ground, there were still people who dared to help him up.
The middle-aged man shook his head, looking annoyed, "It's all my fault for saying something I shouldn't have said, oh!"
Zhang San's eyes lit up, "Sir, we have Guanyin in our store, how about you invite her?"
"oh?"
The middle-aged man seemed to be a little moved, and the servant behind him was anxious, "Master, we have already spent 5,000 yuan this month. We have to save some money, otherwise the remaining half a month, 5,000 yuan will not be enough to support us."
5,000 dollars!
Zhang San's eyes almost popped out of his head. You know, as an apprentice, his salary for three months was only one dollar.
The pocket money for half a month is 5,000 yuan.
Oh my god, if I could make some money or make some good friends, wouldn’t that be great!
Zhang San's mind raced, "Good jade nourishes people, and Guanyin Bodhisattva is the most precious jade. If I buy a piece, I won't have to worry about ghosts haunting me."
These words seemed to touch the middle-aged man's heart. He nodded and walked straight into Guyuzhai.
This was a bit far away, and Russell could only see vaguely, but couldn't hear clearly.
"Have you any insights?" Uncle Jiu seemed to have already won the game.
Russell recalled the middle-aged man's appearance. He couldn't tell anything at this moment. "I think there seems to be a wolf on that man's head, with greedy and cunning eyes, so."
He pondered for a moment, and then thought about the funnel on Zhang San's head, "This middle-aged man is a liar, trying to cheat the money of Gu Yu Zhai!"
Uncle Jiu nodded in satisfaction, "I didn't expect that you are so young but have such a high level of understanding. You are indeed a good candidate for cultivation."
"Guess again, how this middle-aged man cheated. This three-person man is scheming, lazy, and greedy, but he is extremely cautious and usually won't fall into a trap."
Russell shook his head. He knew nothing about scams, and his knowledge of them was limited to new-age scam warnings such as telecommunications fraud and mobile payment traps.
What impressed me the most was the TV series "Mao Pian" which I watched when I was a child. The deceptions in it were really interesting.
But when it comes to cheating, Russell really doesn't know where to start.
"Look to the left." Uncle Jiu pointed to the entrance of the alley not far away.
Russell looked over and suddenly realized that there was another young man with an animal on his head that looked like a wolf.
"That's a wolf, do you understand now?"
A flash of inspiration came to Russell's mind, and he immediately thought of a word.
In cahoots with each other.
The young man straightened his clothes, put on an anxious look, and took out a piece of jade from his arms, which should be carved with Guanyin.
Then he walked into Gu Yu Zhai as if his butt was on fire.
Russell couldn't make out the voices clearly, so he could only judge by the actions. The young man selling the jade first spoke to Zhang San, and then the middle-aged man next to him became interested, and the two began to negotiate.
After a while, Zhang San took out a large sum of silver from the cabinet and put it in the young man's hand. The young man walked out of Guyuzhai with the silver without saying a word.
Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man and his servant left the Guyuzhai and walked hurriedly towards the distance.
Zhang San carefully protected the ancient jade that the young man brought, with a smile on his face.
He made a lot of money. Those two people just now were just idiots.
One was in a hurry to sell the jade for money, while the other wanted to buy jade but did not bring enough silver.
The middle-aged man was very wealthy, so he asked Zhang San to deposit 500 yuan first and then he went to the bank to withdraw the money. In one hour, he was willing to pay Zhang San 700 yuan.
It was no different from a donkey rolling around. Without saying a word, Zhang San embezzled 500 yuan from the shopkeeper.
As long as the middle-aged man comes back, Zhang San can make a net profit of two hundred yuan without doing anything.
This is a real money-making business.
It would be best if the middle-aged man didn’t come back, Zhang San thought happily, playing with the jade in his hand.
This is top-quality jade. The reason why the middle-aged man is in a hurry to get it is because it is too precious. The jade itself is worth 1,000 yuan.
What a beautiful jade!
Uncle Jiu shook his head, "This is called greed!"
"People, the most important thing in this life is to know how to be content."
What kind of damn jade is this? It's clearly a fake that can't be any faker. Even a layman can tell the difference.
After years of hard apprenticeship, I really learned from a dog.
The word greed.
well!
