Chapter 32 Fragrant Buddha,
"Big deal?" Qi Xiang frowned, with a bit of scrutiny in her eyes: "Xiaoyu, what big deal?"
"Let's go, let's talk as we go." Xiaoyu said with a smile: "You really caught up. I just wanted to go and saw you. I met you for a while, and this opportunity to make a fortune, don't say I don't care about you."
"Then I'll thank you in advance..." Qi Xiang bowed and said, "I'll treat you back."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Xiao Yu smiled and said, "To be honest, you have more connections than me, so you must earn more than me."
"That depends on what kind of business is going on," Qi Xiang tentatively said: "You know, I'm... quite busy now. I'll appreciate your kindness, but I will definitely push for ordinary tasks if I can."
"Don't worry, it's definitely a big deal." Xiaoyu didn't hide it and whispered: "There is an old collector whose son is trying to buy a big house and gets a wife. He has no choice but to cut his flesh and bleed."
"Tsk!" Qi Xiang shook her head.
He is not unfamiliar with such a situation.
Because collecting things usually varies from person to person. Some people are obsessed with their lives, while others are disdainful.
Some well-known collectors collected tens of thousands of collections throughout their lives. But shortly after they died, these collections were sent to the auction house by his descendants.
Such situations are common in the collection industry. Now, they will definitely continue to appear in the future.
"It is natural for my son to defeat my family. Don't tick it." Xiaoyu smiled and said, "He is not a loser, so where can we use our skills?"
"Since you are an old collector, you must know a lot of people. What do we need to do?" Qi Xiang didn't understand.
"Hehe, you don't know anything." Xiaoyu chuckled and said, "I forgot to say that the old collector is not a local, but from Huzhou. He also wants face and doesn't want his colleagues to know that he is going to take advantage of his collection, so he just wants to go far."
"I had a few dealings with him before, but I didn't cheat him, and he trusted me. So for such a good thing, he called me the first time and asked me if I would like to go and see it."
Xiaoyu said frankly: "However, he has a lot of things in his hands, and I am afraid I can't eat them alone, so I'll pull you up. How about it, are you interested?"
"Huzhou?" Qi Xiang smiled: "Okay, no problem."
"Okay..." Xiaoyu said with a quick look: "Old rule, I'm seven and you three."
"Yeah." Qi Xiang doesn't care.
Xiaoyu snapped his fingers and said, "Go!"
"So fast?" Qi Xiang was a little surprised.
"I'm going to set out." Xiaoyu explained: "Besides, this kind of thing must be the faster the better. I'm afraid that the old collector will regret it and change his mind will be troublesome."
"That's right." Qi Xiang agreed: "Then let's go."
The two left the alley, stopped a car, and headed straight for the airport. They first landed in Hangzhou, and then moved to Huzhou. When they arrived at their destination, it was already dusk.
Xiao Yu spoke with the old collector on a phone call and turned around and smiled, "Qi Xiang, let's stay first, and go to his house tomorrow morning. He has prepared the things and is waiting for us to see them."
Qi Xiang had no objection, so he and Xiaoyu looked for a place to stay in the street.
After walking for a while, Xiaoyu was a little surprised: "Qi Xiang, have you been to Huzhou before? Why are you more familiar with the sections of the road here than me?"
Qi Xiang smiled slightly, and nodded while leading the way, saying, "I have lived in Huzhou for a few years."
This is also why Qi Xiang heard that Xiaoyu said he was coming to Huzhou but did not refuse.
After all, the turmoil in Jinling has not yet subsided, and the undercurrent is surging, so he doesn’t want to stay anymore. But if he wants to leave, he must choose a more familiar place. Huzhou is naturally a good choice.
"Oh, why didn't you say it earlier..." Xiaoyu said happily: "The food, drink, and fun will be left to you."
"Okay." Qi Xiang did not refuse, and took Xiaoyu for a while and came to a pretty high-end hotel to settle in.
The two settled down, rested for two or three hours, then walked around the night market, had enough food and drink, and happened to take a walk back to sleep. They had nothing to say all night, so early the next morning, they went to meet with the old collector.
The old collector didn't live in the city and had a house in the suburbs. Xiaoyu knew the place and recruited a car to lead Qi Xiang.
Huzhou is located at the Taihu Port in Jiangnan. It has been a prosperous place known for its prosperity since ancient times. It is known as a land of fish and rice and a silk palace. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Huzhou was already an important grain-producing area in Jiangnan.
Due to the continuous reclamation and development of the ancients for thousands of years, the plains were divided by the crisscrossing Tangpu River Canals, and the fields, land and water were distributed in an interlaced manner, and the water town was very distinctive.
When he arrived in the suburbs, Qi Xiang saw a rural landscape in the south of the Yangtze River. The buildings with white walls and black tiles were arranged in a scattered manner in the village filled with smoke.
The canal is next to the water flow, and there are lush grass and bamboo forests, green and full of vitality. The old collector's house is next to a clear canal, with a brick and tile courtyard, and there are two jujube trees in front of the door, with lush branches and leaves, which are very interesting.
The gate of the courtyard was open, and a burst of laughter came out of the hall.
"Huh?" Xiaoyu frowned slightly when he heard this, and said alertly: "There are still guests?"
"You'll know when you go in and take a look." Qi Xiang whispered: "You call the door."
Xiaoyu nodded and laughed and shouted, "Where is Mr. Guo or not, we are here."
"Little than..."
After a moment, someone came out of the room. He was a half-baked old man. He was wearing a clean and neat Zhongshan suit, just like a retired old cadre, with a bit of serious temperament.
But at this time, he seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on his face, and he laughed: "Have you come so early?"
"You are always summoning me, so you must not be late." Xiao Yu smiled and introduced Qi Xiang by the way: "Old Guo, I told you yesterday that this is Manager Qi..."
"Shopkeeper Qi, I'll be lucky, I'll be lucky." Mr. Guo was very enthusiastic.
Qi Xiang also responded politely: "Old Guo, come here to visit me, don't disturb me."
"No disturbance, very welcome..."
The three of them exchanged a few greetings and walked into the courtyard together.
As soon as he entered the door, Qi Xiang saw that there were indeed guests in the hall. At first glance, he was stunned, because among the two guests in the hall, he looked familiar.
He is white and fat, and his cute appearance is clearly the only one who meets Mr. Hai in the incense shop.
Qi Xiang stopped and then followed again.
After entering the hall, Mr. Guo, as the owner, began to introduce him: "Come on, come on, let's get to know each other."
"This is Xiao Ding and his friends."
"Xiao Yu, Manager Qi..."
Everyone gave Mr. Guo face, shook hands and greeted each other, and felt like they were right at first sight. In fact, everyone was thinking about what the other person was.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became a bit subtle, and the laughter gradually became quiet.
Xiao Yu and Xiao Ding are about the same age as each other, and they are smart and capable. As soon as they come into contact, they smell a similar breath from each other, so they look at each other with great vigilance.
Don't look at them smiling happily and looking like their good friends. In fact, they have been observing each other and secretly repelling them...
In contrast, Qi Xiang and Mr. Hai on the side were relatively calm. The two sat opposite each other across a coffee table, holding cups, and signaling slightly to drink tea from friends.
As the undercurrent surged, Mr. Guo spoke and said with a smile: "There are all people, then let's get to the point."
"I don't care about it. The misfortune of the family will make you laugh."
Mr. Guo was a little sad: "Every family has difficult sutras. I collected them for most of my life. I originally wanted to pass them on, but I was a villain... Alas, instead of letting him ruin it, I might as well do it myself, and I can properly place them so that there is a good place for those things."
“Yes, yes!”
“Yes, yes!”
Xiaoyu and Xiao Ding nodded repeatedly and agreed. Then they were sure that the other party was indeed a competitor.
It would be impossible for them to have no resentment towards Mr. Guo. After all, they all thought that Mr. Guo had only invited him. Unexpectedly, they put them in and asked for someone else.
But they are also very wise. They know that now, no matter how many complaints they have, they can only be buried in their hearts. The key is to grab more good things in the other party's hands.
At this time, Mr. Guo reluctantly raised his spirits and smiled: "You also know that I have a lot of things and some of them, which can be said to be of varying quality..."
Suddenly, Xiao Ding interrupted, "Old Guo, let's not talk about anything else. I just want to ask for advice. Is your incense Buddha also among the ones who take action?"
"Fragrant Buddha!" Qi Xiang's heart moved, and he glanced at Mr. Hai, and understood a little.
At the same time, Xiaoyu was first surprised and then happy: "Mr. Guo, do you want to take action on your incense Buddha?"
"Uh..." Mr. Guo was stunned for a moment and hesitated very much: "Xiao Ding, I didn't seem to say that I wanted to take action on the Xiang Buddha. I planned to treasure that thing myself. After all, I have taken care of most of my life, so I have to leave something for my thoughts..."
"Old Guo, there are some things you either don't do or do them." Xiao Ding shook his head and said, "Leave a thought, it is easy to feel distressed if you think about it day and night, and it is better to stop thinking and end it all."
"Xiao Ding..." Mr. Guo was a little unhappy.
"Mr. Guo, these words are not nice. But the words are rough and not rough. I am talking in plain language." Xiao Ding sighed: "Mr. Guo, you should know that the housing prices are expensive now. A slightly better big house can often cost one or two million."
"Besides, the noble man gets married and has a wedding house, he will definitely have a wedding car. The scene should not be small. All things are also a considerable expense."
Xiao Ding talked: "You have thought it through clearly. As long as you take action on the incense Buddha, all problems will not be a problem. In this way, you no longer need to take advantage of other collections. It can be said that you will get multiple goals in one fell swoop."
When Xiaoyu, who was next to him, was stunned for a moment and his eyes were about to get angry.
"Do, this bastard is so poisonous. He actually wants to eat alone!" Xiaoyu looked at Mr. Guo with anger and worriedly...
