Xu Jiuzhao stayed in Boguxuan for a long time, and Jiang Xin was very interested in introducing him to the antiques displayed in Boguxuan one by one.

He said: "The brand of Boguxuan is also a time-honored brand in the Republic of China. Over the past century, the location of the store has been relocated three times. The same is true for the move to Zhongfu Antique City this time, but there is still another store on Dongtai Road. This old store continues to operate, and now this store is considered the main store.”

Xu Jiuzhao said: "In the period of the Republic of China - so to speak, Boguxuan is also a century-old store."

Jiang Xin couldn't see the joy and said: "Although it claims to be a century-old store, it has been closed for more than [-] years due to historical reasons."

Xu Jiuzhao looked at him incomprehensibly, Jiang Xin was about to give him a detailed explanation when two people came in from outside.Xu Jiuzhao thought it was a visitor and turned to look outside.

Jiang Xin turned her head to look at the person who came, her face suddenly turned cold, but she didn't speak.

The person in the lead was in his fifties, with a suit and leather shoes, a moderate figure, and a square face. Jiang Xin didn't speak, and he didn't care. It has been spread all over the south of the Yangtze River, and I often heard people mention it when I was in Shenzhen. Ah Xin is really capable, no wonder your grandfather entrusted you with the management of Boguxuan..."

Jiang Xin pursed her lips, stood up slowly and said, "Why is Second Uncle free to come to my shop today?"

Xu Jiuzhao raised his eyebrows in surprise. It turned out that this person was Jiang Xin's second uncle. In this way, Xu Jiuzhao could see something like Jiang Weiguo on the other party's face.

Uncle Jiang Xin said very disapprovingly: "Look at what you said, after all, Boguxuan is also the ancestral property of our Jiang family. I am your second uncle, shouldn't it be right to come and see it?"

Jiang Xin's expression became even colder, but Jiang Xin's second uncle acted as if he hadn't seen him. He said to the person behind him, "Zhong Tao, come to meet the only son of my deceased third brother. Ah Xin, Xiao Tao is your second aunt. Nephew, logically you should call him cousin."

Jiang Xin tugged at the corners of her lips, and said without emotion: "I can't afford to be high. What are you talking about, cousin, there is no blood relationship after all. I don't know. I don't know who thought our old Jiang's family was trying to curry favor with someone, and tried hard to find a relationship. !"

Uncle Jiang Xin's face froze, and finally he couldn't laugh, he was embarrassed and unhappy, but he didn't dare to say harsh words: "Look at your child, no matter what you say, you are all real relatives. "

Zhong Tao relieved Uncle Jiang Xin and said, "It's okay, it's okay, everyone has their own opinions."

Xu Jiuzhao has been sitting quietly watching. It seems that the situation in Jiang's family is much more complicated than it appears on the surface.

Jiang Weiguo is already in his 70s and almost 80 years old, but he has no children to take care of him, only one grandson, and this grandson is not from the eldest son's family, let alone the eldest grandson.According to common sense, the ancestral property and family business in the family should not pass on to the grandson directly beyond the uncle's generation. This family relationship is not right no matter how you look at it.

And according to the understanding during this period, in Xu Jiuzhao's opinion, Jiang Xin is humorous, easy-going, smart and witty, and extremely filial to his grandfather.He is also very caring and considerate.

Xu Jiuzhao has never seen such a cold and sharp side of him, just like a hedgehog with sharp thorns all over his body.

Jiang Xin's side has always been cold and indifferent. It's okay for the boss to be so cold, but the shopkeeper dare not treat Uncle Jiang Xin like this.Otherwise, outsiders pass by and take a look, and think that their store is deceiving customers.

"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Zhong, please sit inside." The shopkeeper came forward to entertain the two people.

"Shopkeeper Zhao hasn't had a red face for a while, which shows that people with good business are in a good mood." Uncle Jiang Xin said jokingly.

"Hehe." Shopkeeper Zhao served the tea, smiled and said nothing.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Uncle Jiang Xin turned his head to Jiang Xin bored and said, "How is your grandfather recently?"

Jiang Xin said coldly: "As long as you don't show up, the old man will always be in good health."

The second uncle Jiang Xin choked at what he said, and couldn't hold back his face: "Ah Xin, you are a junior, you don't understand some things, and there are some things you can't say. Conflicts between adults, you are not a junior. It should be mixed in, anyway, I am your second uncle. Is this how your grandfather usually taught you to talk to elders?"

Jiang Xin had no expression on his face, but in fact he was disgusted by Jiang Pingkang's excuse to teach him a lesson.

He said: "I only know how to follow the example. If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. If the example in front is not set up properly, it is no wonder that the later ones follow suit."

He pierced Jiang Pingkang and Zhong Tao with sharp eyes, and Jiang Pingkang felt cold, and he was even more afraid of this grown-up nephew.

Jiang Pingkang sighed helplessly and said: "I know you have too much prejudice against the second uncle, but we are also a family after all. You can't write two characters for Jiang in one stroke, right? Our Jiang family has a great career, so we should cooperate with each other. It's right to help, outsiders can't compare with your own relatives."

"What relative? Zhong Tao?" Jiang Xin glanced at Zhong Tao who was sitting on the side with a calm smile, "He is your relative, not mine."

Jiang Pingkang said angrily, "He's not your relative, I'm always your second uncle, right?"

Jiang Xin was impatient with him going around in circles like this, and said, "Second Uncle, if you have something to say, just say it directly, I have guests here."

Jiang Pingkang couldn't figure out who Xu Jiuzhao was, but the one who could let Jiang Xin personally receive him in the store should be either rich or expensive.Even if he can't make friends, he doesn't want to leave a bad impression, in case it will be difficult to deal with in the future, so he keeps talking to get the upper hand.

Jiang Pingkang said with a smile: "Your child has been very impatient since you were a child. Okay, let's talk about business. You also know that I run an art auction company in the south. Now the competition in the south is very fierce. I was thinking, It’s better to make it easier for your own family members if it’s cheaper for outsiders..." As he spoke, his eyes turned to the booth set up in the center of the store, as if he had just seen it: "Is this the rumored kiln-sealed square bottle? The color is so fresh and tender, as if It’s as beautiful as the first sunshine after the rain. Why don’t you hand over the auction of this square bottle to my auction company, and the second uncle will run it for you, so that you can make a lot of money.”

Jiang Pingkang's intentions finally came out, he really came for this Fengyao porcelain, Jiang Xin secretly gritted his teeth.

Jiang Xin raised the corner of her mouth and said with a sarcasm: "So, it turns out that the second uncle came here for this matter. It's a pity that Boguxuan doesn't intend to sell this kiln-sealed square bottle."

Jiang Pingkang waved his hand and said, "Don't be fooled by your second uncle, I don't know you yet. You are not your grandfather, and you sincerely regard this piece of porcelain as your own treasure, but you just want to sell it for a price. "

When Jiang Xin heard him mentioning his grandfather, an unbearable anger suddenly surged in his heart, he took a breath and said: "You are right, I didn't intend to keep this piece of porcelain as a collection, but I can't hold it Grandpa likes it. As long as Grandpa likes it, I will naturally keep it. I must be filial to Grandpa, right? Don’t you think so, Second Uncle?”

The corner of Jiang Pingkang's mouth twitched, and the answer was neither no nor no.Cursing the little bastard secretly, Jiang Pingkang said: "Well then, since there is no auction, the second uncle will borrow it from you. Although it can't be auctioned, a small exhibition in the south can attract a lot of people."

Jiang Xin sharpened his eyes, straightened his back, stared straight at Jiang Pingkang, and said with a half smile: "Are you talking about business affairs with me on behalf of the auction company, or are you talking about private affairs with me as the second uncle?"

Jiang Pingkang made the back of Jiang Xin's neck shudder. He thought for a while and said, "What about business matters? What about private matters?"

Jiang Xin flicked the non-existing dust on the clothes, and said: "Of course, each has its own method. If it is a business matter, although there is no company to discuss the lending of the exhibition, it is not impossible in the future. of."

Jiang Pingkang was overjoyed when he heard the words, and before he could laugh, Jiang Xin went on to say: "According to the general procedure, you need to insure the exhibited items when you lend them out for an exhibition. I don't count you too much, so let's insure for 500 million."

"500 million? Why don't you grab it?!" Jiang Pingkang couldn't hold back his curse.

Jiang Xin snorted coldly: "Don't think it's too much, do you think that 500 million is the only price of the only sealed kiln in the world?"

Jiang Pingkang's face was uncertain. He knew that this piece of porcelain was precious, but he never thought that the insurance premium alone would cost so much.

Jiang Xin said slowly: "Since the insurance premium is less for you, the collateral must be at least equal in value, right? Second uncle, can you sell your auction company to pay the mortgage fee?"

Jiang Pingkang's face turned red and then white from Jiang Xin's anger. Zhong Tao saw that his expression was not right, so he quickly brought him water to drink.

Jiang Pingkang drank a bowl of tea with shaking hands, and when he was relieved, he saw Jiang Xin looking at him coldly, and suddenly became angry: "Do you still think I am your second uncle? Let me make it easier for you." They are all procrastinating!"

Jiang Xin said coldly: "If it weren't for the fact that you are my second uncle, do you think you can still step into the gate of Boguxuan today?"

Jiang Pingkang took a breath and said, "Then tell me! Why are you willing to lend me that square bottle?"

The corner of Jiang Xin's mouth curled up in a beautiful arc, and said: "So I asked you before if you plan to run it as a company or as a private person."

Jiang Pingkang thought that Jiang Xin's words were convincing, so he said with peace of mind: "Since going through official channels is so troublesome, let's borrow it in the name of a private person. As a mortgage, it's all from your own family. Of course, insurance will not save you. 500 million is too much, but 50 is still okay."

Jiang Pingkang said that he was happy, Jiang Xin sneered and raised his chin towards Shopkeeper Zhao.Shopkeeper Zhao is an old man of Boguxuan for many years, so he naturally knew what the little boss meant. In addition, he had long been displeased with Mr. Jiang Er, so he took out an account book from the locked drawer behind the counter very smoothly.

Jiang Xin walked over and took the account book in his hand, leaned against the counter and said calmly: "Since you still plan to borrow it in your own name this time, you should return the borrowed one first. The previous account is not cleared. , the latter account is naturally not easy to calculate, don't you think so? Second Uncle?"

Jiang Pingkang looked at the account book in his hand in disbelief: "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Jiang Xin stood up and walked over to put the account book under the other party's nose, and said sharply: "Two years ago, you took away a total of 16 pieces of porcelain and 7 pieces from Boguxuan without your grandfather's permission. Jade ornaments, 12-axis calligraphy and painting, 4 bronze wares, and 8 pieces of the Four Treasures of the Study! It was agreed at the time to borrow, so you should pay it back now, right?"

The muscles on Jiang Pingkang's cheeks twitched uncomfortably, and he said forcefully: "At that time, I didn't say how long the loan was, and I still haven't returned the item!"

Jiang Xin sneered: "How did I hear that all these things were sold from your auction company, do you pay them back? What do you get to pay them back? Do you pay them back directly?"

Jiang Pingkang was very unhappy when he was questioned. He stood up, raised his chin, looked at Jiang Xin's young and handsome face through his nose, and said contemptuously: "So what if I don't return it? These things belong to the old man, they are my father , to put it bluntly, after his death, things will not all belong to our brother. What if I took my share in advance?"

Shameless!Xu Jiuzhao glared at Jiang Pingkang sullenly.

Jiang Xin obviously knew his shamelessness a long time ago, so he slapped the ledger nonchalantly, as if he was slapping something dirty.

He said: "The problem is that Grandpa is still here, not dead yet! Since you took your share, you should give up on this kiln square bottle. No matter what you do this time, don't even think about lending it out."

A flush appeared on Jiang Pingkang's angry face, and he said angrily: "You little bastard! It's not your turn to be the head of the Jiang family!"

Jiang Xin mockingly said: "Unfortunately, I am the boss of Boguxuan now, and grandpa has officially put it under my name. Although I can't make the decision in Jiang's family, I still have the final say in Boguxuan. I If you don't borrow it, you don't borrow it! You can go now, don't give it away!"

Jiang Pingkang gasped for breath, pointed at Jiang Xin bitterly, and said, "Don't be complacent! Sooner or later you will beg me." Then he led Zhong Tao away.

"It's really bad luck." When Jiang Pingkang left, Jiang Xin felt as if he was discouraged, and his whole energy was taken away, and he slumped on the chair: "The most annoying thing is to deal with him."
