Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

"Brother Yang, what do you think is wrong with Xiaojun lately? He is always mysterious, as if he is doing something big." Zhao Yajing said in a low voice.

Yang Shumao nodded in agreement: "Yeah, I find it strange too. He used to tell us everything."

He Daqing frowned and decided to talk to Shi Xiaojun. That night, He Daqing found Shi Xiaojun in the store and asked directly, "Xiaojun, are you hiding something from us recently?"

Shi Xiaojun was stunned, obviously a little uncomfortable, but he quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "No, Brother Daqing, you are overthinking it."

He Daqing looked at him deeply, shook his head and said, "Xiaojun, we have worked together for so long, if there is anything, just speak up and we can solve it together."

Seeing He Daqing's firm attitude, Shi Xiaojun finally sighed and said, "Brother Daqing, I am actually busy with something recently. I have a friend named Akang, who has some antiques, and we are discussing cooperation."

He Daqing frowned even more when he heard this: "Akang? Why haven't I heard of this person?"

Shi Xiaojun explained: "Akang is my former classmate. He recently got a batch of antiques and wanted to work with me to sell them. I thought this was a good opportunity to make money, so I agreed."

He Daqing pondered for a moment and asked, "How much do you know about Akang? Are the sources of his antiques reliable?"

Shi Xiaojun hesitated for a moment and said, "I know Akang quite well. We have done business together before and he is a very reliable person. The source of the antiques this time is one of his relatives, so I think there should be no problem."

He Daqing shook his head: "Xiaojun, the most important thing in the antique business is honesty and caution. Even if it is an old friend, you have to check carefully and don't trust easily."

Shi Xiaojun nodded, looking a little annoyed: "Brother Daqing, I understand. I will carefully check the source of Akang's antiques."

He Daqing patted his shoulder and said gently: "Xiaojun, we are friends. If there is anything, you must tell us. As long as we work together, any problem can be solved."

Shi Xiaojun smiled gratefully: "Brother Daqing, thank you, I understand."

A few days later, Shi Xiaojun brought Akang to the antique shop. Akang was a man in his thirties, with a gentle appearance and decent manners. When he saw He Daqing, Akang greeted him warmly: "Boss He, I have heard of your name for a long time. Today I finally have the opportunity to meet you."

He Daqing smiled and extended his hand: "Akang, welcome to our store, please take a seat."

After a few pleasantries, Akang took out some antiques and showed them to He Daqing. These antiques looked really valuable. He Daqing carefully examined them and nodded, saying, "Akang, these antiques are really good, but we still need to conduct a detailed appraisal."

Ah Kang nodded to show his understanding: "Of course, Boss He, you can identify these antiques at will, I will definitely not have any objections."

He Daqing nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, let's get started."

He Daqing, Yang Shumao and Zhao Yajing conducted a detailed appraisal of these antiques and found that there were indeed some treasures, but there were also some fakes. After the appraisal, He Daqing said to Akang: "Akang, some of your antiques are indeed good things, but some are fakes."

A Kang showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, but he quickly regained his composure: "Boss He, I was also entrusted by someone, and I don't know much about these antiques. If you tell me which ones are fakes, we won't sell them."

He Daqing nodded: "How about this, we return these fakes, and we can cooperate to sell the remaining ones."

Ah Kang smiled with satisfaction: "Thank you for your understanding, Boss He. I will follow your suggestion."

After the cooperation was reached, A Kang would bring new antiques to He Daqing from time to time, and each time he would go through a detailed appraisal to ensure that there were no fakes, which gradually increased He Daqing's trust in him. As a result, the antique shop's business became more prosperous, and many customers came to visit, and the store's reputation became higher and higher.

One day, He Daqing was sorting out antiques in the store when he suddenly received a call from a strange man who claimed to be A Kang's friend, Liu Tianxiang, and wanted to cooperate with He Daqing.

"Boss He, I heard that you have a cooperation with Akang. I also have some antiques that I want to sell. I wonder if you are interested?" Liu Tianxiang said on the other end of the phone.

He Daqing thought for a moment and agreed, "Okay, Mr. Liu, you can bring your antiques to our store to have a look."

A few days later, Liu Tianxiang came to the antique shop with the antiques. He was a middle-aged man in his forties with a shrewd face. As soon as he entered the store, he greeted He Daqing enthusiastically.

"Boss He, I've heard a lot about your name. I brought some antiques here today, hoping to work with you." Liu Tianxiang said with a smile.

He Daqing responded with a smile: "Mr. Liu, welcome, please take a seat."

Liu Tianxiang showed He Daqing the antiques, which looked quite valuable. He Daqing carefully examined them and found that some of them were similar in style to the antiques that Akang had brought before, which made him suspicious.

"Mr. Liu, these antiques look good, but I still need to conduct a detailed appraisal," said He Daqing.

Liu Tianxiang nodded to show his understanding: "Of course, Boss He, you can make the appraisal, I will definitely not have any objection."

He Daqing, Yang Shumao and Zhao Yajing conducted a detailed appraisal of these antiques and found that there were indeed some treasures among them, but there were also some fakes. After the appraisal, He Daqing said to Liu Tianxiang: "Mr. Liu, some of these antiques are indeed good things, but there are also some fakes."

Liu Tianxiang showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, but he quickly regained his composure: "Boss He, I was also entrusted by someone, and I don't know much about these antiques. If you tell me which ones are fakes, we won't sell them."

He Daqing nodded: "How about this, we return these fakes, and we can cooperate to sell the remaining ones."

Liu Tianxiang smiled with satisfaction: "Thank you, Boss He, for your understanding. I will follow your suggestion."

After the cooperation was reached, Liu Tianxiang would bring new antiques to He Daqing from time to time, and each time he would go through a detailed appraisal to ensure that there were no fakes, which gradually increased He Daqing's trust in him. As a result, the antique shop's business became more prosperous, and many customers came to visit, and the store's reputation became higher and higher.

However, as the cooperation deepened, He Daqing gradually discovered something wrong. On several occasions, the antiques brought by Liu Tianxiang were very similar in style to those brought by Akang, and some were almost identical. This made He Daqing suspicious, and he decided to discuss it with Yang Shumao.
