Quick Wear: I am the shopkeeper at the Merit Pawn Shop

In a blink of an eye, Shen Xian passed the high school entrance examination and was admitted to the best high school in the city.

Shen Mo hosted a banquet, which included Jin Qiang's family, as well as the director of the Cultural Bureau, Kang Chaosheng and several other frequent partners.

These people also gave Shen Xian big red envelopes.

In the evening, Shen Xian returned the red envelope to Shen Mo.

"What are you doing?" Shen Mo looked at Shen Xian with amusement and a painful expression on his face.

"Brother, they gave you money because they wanted to honor you. I'm not that ignorant."

"What nonsense are you talking about? People give you red envelopes because they truly treat you as a junior. Just accept it." Shen Mo smiled.

"That's right, big brother doesn't need this little money." Shen Yu shouted on the side.

"If you don't want to give it to me, I'm short of money." Shen Yu smiled and spread his hands.

Shen Mo hit Shen Yu's palm and joked: "Do I need your pocket money? You asked your second brother for it. Can you have some shame?"

"I am just shameless, second brother, everyone who sees it will get a share." Shen Yu hugged Shen Xian's arm and acted coquettishly.

Seeing the two siblings become as close as one, Shen Mo was extremely relieved.

Now their family is no longer the same as it used to be, and they are no longer the young boys from the countryside.

In recent years, Shen Mo has become famous in the antique wooden artifact appraisal field, and collectors from other places often come to him to ask him to appraise wooden artifacts.

If there are some inconveniences, we would spend a lot of money and ask him to go to other places for appraisal.

Shen Mo accepted it with pleasure.

As for Jin Qiang, the two also broke up at the beginning of the year.

The main reason is that Jin Qiang has made a lot of money in the past few years, and has grown into a big tree with many branches.

In fact, the main reason was that Jin Qiang felt that he was taking too much advantage of Shen Mo, and was afraid that if he continued like this it would cause Shen Mo's dissatisfaction. Instead of bringing it up with Shen Mo, he thought it would be better for him to be more sensible and quit while he was ahead.

Shen Mo didn't have such an idea. After all, he was used to the cooperation mode of the two people. Since he couldn't persuade her, they could only break up.

After accumulating for a period of time, Shen Mo collected antique furniture of little value and sold them.

Keep the valuable ones.

With some connections, he was no longer satisfied with collecting and appraising antiques.

Just then, an opportunity came along. Someone in Vancouver asked Shen Mo to appraise an antique piece of furniture through a friend he knew well, and offered a price that Shen Mo could not refuse.

The fee for an appraisal is 2,000 yuan, and travel expenses are extra.

In an era when wages just exceeded 100 yuan, 2,000 yuan was considered a huge sum of money.

After making arrangements for Shen Xian and Shen Yu, he went to Wen City alone.

When he arrived in Vancouver, he declined the host's invitation to a welcome dinner and went straight to the point of conducting an appraisal.

When Shen Mo saw the items, many local antique appraisers also came over, because they had also been invited to appraise such items. Although they had identified some kind of wooden artifacts, they were unable to determine the specific year.

After Shen Mo read it, he also frowned.

Because the appearance of this antique furniture is really strange. It doesn't look like something from the Ming Dynasty, nor does it look like furniture from the Qing Dynasty.

But it is not the case to say that it is completely different. It has the characteristics of Ming Dynasty furniture.

Finally, Shen Mo had an idea.

“This is indeed a piece of Ming Dynasty furniture.”

"There is no such style in Ming Dynasty furniture. Is this an innovation?" Someone who has appraised this antique furniture snorted coldly.

In fact, there are people who talk about Ming Dynasty furniture, but none of them have any reason to convince.

"This is a piece of furniture imported from overseas. The age of the wood is not deceptive. Moreover, the mortise and tenon joints of this furniture have all the characteristics of Ming Dynasty craftsmanship."

Shen Mo pointed them out one by one.

As he pointed out the point, those who were originally dissatisfied seemed to have learned something new.

After identifying the item, Shen Mo was about to go back, but the owner of the house showed a complicated expression.

"Mr. Shen, I have a few old friends who would like to ask you to help with the appraisal. Of course, the price is the same as before, and it is also based on the price I invited you to come. What do you think?"

Since there was money to be made, Shen Mo naturally agreed happily.

Shen Mo then helped the man look at a few more items, some of which were recent imitations of antiques, while others were also vintage.

By the time the appraisal was complete, Shen Mo had already become one with these people.

On the way back, Shen Mo casually picked up a sack and set off.

Their attire was similar to that of people fleeing famine.

Along the way, Shen Mo discovered that there were quite a few old ladies and old men dressed like him.

Then, I saw a familiar person among the "fleeing famine" army. I had just appraised a large mahogany bed from the Qing Dynasty for this person's family a few days ago.

The man saw Shen Mo and smiled awkwardly.

"Where are you going, brother?" With this person's wealth, there is no way he would dress like this. Shen Mo felt that there must be a reason for it.

When the people around saw Shen Mo and Gu Hao greeting each other, they all greeted them warmly as well.

Only then did Shen Mo realize that these people were all from the same village, and were planning to do a big business.

Perhaps Shen Mo's eyes were too burning, or perhaps Gu Hao himself also wanted to make friends with Shen Mo.

Gu Hao moved his feet and came to Shen Mo, whispering:

"We are going to do a big deal. Is Mr. Shen interested in participating?"

"What business?" Shen Mo raised his eyebrows.

"We are going to buy a house in Haishi. There is news that Haishi is going to launch a policy that allows people to settle down in the city if they buy a house. For the sake of our children, we want to buy a house in Haishi. You know, the scores of local students taking the college entrance exam are very different from those of students from other places."

"There's no need to buy in a group, right?" Shen Mo was a little surprised when he saw the huge crowd of people in the carriage.

"There are discounts if we buy together, prices you wouldn't expect, and since the houses are in one place, we have someone to take care of them. We can rent them out if we don't live in them. Since the houses are in one place, we only need to hire a property inspector who can help with unified management, so we don't need to worry about it ourselves."

Shen Mo thought to himself: Isn’t this the real estate speculation group of later generations?

"Then let's go and have a look!" He felt that anyone who didn't make money was a bastard, so what if it worked?

As for the scammers? Shen Mo hadn't thought about this question. After all, he was a person with a system, and he could still distinguish between good and bad people. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to do the mission.

Originally, Shen Mo's destination was to change trains in Hai City, otherwise he wouldn't have met this group of people. For him, it was just a delay of one more day.

After getting off the bus, there are special cars in Hai City to pick up these old men and women.

Shen Mo also got in the car.

The old men and women in the car also knew that Shen Mo was going to join them, and that it was Gu Hao who brought him here.

At first, the presence of a foreigner among them made them feel uncomfortable, but after a while, they let go.

When they learned that Shen Mo was an antique appraiser, many of them expressed their desire to invite Shen Mo. However, Shen Mo said that he was only proficient in wooden furniture, so many people were not so enthusiastic.

When he got there and checked the real estate qualifications, he found that these old men and women were more professional than him.

The house only has a model room and is in pre-sale form. It is located in the suburbs.
