Siheyuan: All the incense in the family is counting on you

Looking at the furniture that was sent over, Wu Lei couldn't let it go.

The Eight Immortals Table, the official hat chair, the kang table, and the bedside cabinet are all high-end items at first glance. I have already started calculating how much these things can be sold for.

When nothing else came in, a note appeared on the Eight Immortals Table. "This time, use the money from the sales to exchange for money and notes from the 60s first, and get some small yellow croakers. I need them!"

Wu Lei quickly replied: "I understand. Brother Li is very powerful and will definitely not delay your business."

After replying to the letter, Wu Lei's hands trembled with excitement. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a certain number. Soon the video was connected. A chubby man appeared on the screen. His gray hair was combed meticulously. His gold-rimmed glasses made him look a bit scholarly. "Hey, Xiao Wu, you are calling me at this time. Do you have something good?"

"Hahaha, you are still very observant, Mr. Wang. I just got some good things and I thought of you the first time. Let me show you!" He turned the camera to the table and chair.

Wu Lei has not been idle these days. He often wanders around Liulichang with those stamps. He does not go to the street stalls but goes into the larger antique shops. He chats with people for a while and learns something. It was in this way that he met Boss Wang in the antique shop.

This boss Wang's name is Wang Jincai. He is engaged in import and export trade. The company's headquarters is in Beijing and it has its own wharf in Tianjin Port. His business is very big. He is generous and good at making friends. He is not fond of wine or women, but he has a strong interest in collecting.

When he has nothing to do, he likes to go to Liulichang to see if there is anything he likes. If he likes it, he will just buy it. However, he himself does not know much about it. Fortunately, being a teacher is just right for people like Wu Lei.

The two met in an antique shop in Liulichang. At that time, Wu Lei was holding his stamps and asking the boss to identify them. Wang Jincai came over directly and took a liking to several complete sets in the shop at first sight. When Wu Lei came out of the shop, he followed him out.

He took Wu Lei to sit in the teahouse next door and bought those sets of stamps at a price at least 30% higher than the market price. During the conversation, he learned that Wu Lei had just entered the antique business, so he immediately started talking and began to tell him the ins and outs of the business.

Wu Lei just happened to be in need of such a person, so he listened very seriously and even took notes in a small notebook. This made Wang Jincai, who liked to teach, very satisfied. The relationship between the two quickly became closer, so after getting the furniture, the first person he thought of was Wang Jincai, because he was the only very rich person Wu Lei knew.

When the phone took a picture of the table and chairs, Wang Jincai's face was almost pressed against the phone screen: "Is it Ming or Qing? What kind of wood is it?"

You can tell from the voice that he is very anxious.

"It looks like it's from the Qing Dynasty, Mr. Wang. Would you like to come and take a look? I'd better look at someone else's house if you don't want me to!" Wu Lei is not even half a bottle now, at most he is just the bottom of a bottle. However, when it comes to furniture, the best ones are from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Since Li Bowen was able to get it for him, it must be from the Qing Dynasty at least, so he just said it casually.

"Don't move, stay here, I'll be there right now, where are you now?"

"Okay, no problem. I'm at Huimin Market in Dongcheng. I'll send you my location. Come over!"

Wang Jincai didn't even care about the company meeting. He hastily ended the meeting and headed straight to Dongcheng with his driver and secretary.

After a long time, they finally found the place. Looking at the storefront and Wu Lei standing at the door to greet them, Wang Jincai laughed out loud: "Xiao Wu, your place is really hard to find. You are a great secluded person in the city, and you still set up a stall here!"

"Haha, look at what you said, setting up a stall is my main job, and selling those things is just a hobby. I can't be like you, I have to do something to make a living!" Wu Lei also smiled and welcomed the three people into his shop.

"Where's the stuff? Let me see it first. I can't wait any longer."

"It's inside, please follow me!" He hung a closed sign on the stall and led the three people into the compartment at the back.

Turn on the light, and the light shining on the table makes the colors appear more rich.

When Wang Jincai saw the thing, he didn't care about anyone else. He walked over quickly, took out a magnifying glass, and studied the table carefully, muttering to himself.

Wu Lei did not bother him. He took out a few bottles of drinks from the freezer outside and handed them to his driver and secretary: "Come and have some water. Sit over there. I guess we'll have to wait a while."

After a long while, Wang Jincai stood up and said, "It's a good piece of Huanghuali wood. Xiao Wu, come and take a look at the workmanship, the carvings and the lacquer. From my judgment, it should be from the early Qing Dynasty, which is similar to your judgment, but there are some scratches. It should have been used by someone before. It's a pity that the lacquer has been damaged."

Wu Lei didn't care about this. Although Li Bowen paid a year's salary, it was only a few dollars. If he sold it a little, it would be equivalent to many years of his salary. It was equivalent to something for free. Who would care about a little scratch!

"How is it, are you satisfied?"

Wang Jincai nodded: "Yes, that's right. I want these things. Xiao Wu, name a price!"

"Look at what you said, how can I have the right to speak in front of you? You can give me the price, I will definitely not bargain for you!" Although they have not had much contact, Wu Lei has almost figured out Wang Jincai's temper. As long as you praise him, he will definitely be generous.

"Hahaha, I won't be polite then. There have been similar items at auctions in Hong Kong before, and they were much better than yours. An eight-immortals table was sold for more than 800 million, and an official hat chair was sold for between 4 and 500 million. Your price is much lower. So, I want all of your items at once. How about giving you a whole number?"

Everyone has his own little plans. Although generous, Wang Jincai will not give a random price. He still has a consideration in his mind.

Wu Lei did the same and nodded immediately: "Okay, since you asked, I'll pay you the price, but I have a small request, I hope you can satisfy me!"

"Oh, what are your requests? Tell me!"

"Hehehe, that's right. Can you take my car? It doesn't have to be expensive, about 100,000 yuan will be fine. The main thing is to have a license plate. I've been drawing the lottery for several years, but it's never my turn, and now I'm still waiting!" Wu Lei scratched his head and said with a smile.

"Hahaha, I thought it was a big deal. Okay, no problem. How about that, Xiao Li, are there any unused cars in our fleet?" Wang Jincai asked his driver.

The driver nodded: "Yes, there is an old BMW with a Beijing license plate parked in the garage. Boss, do you think that one will do?"

Wang Jincai did not nod immediately, but turned to look at Wu Lei.

"Okay, as long as it's a car, the important thing is the license plate!"

The business was done. In a whole day's work, Wu Lei sold furniture for 1000 million RMB, plus a second-hand BMW with a Beijing license plate.
