Chapter 230
Yanxi clearly remembered the time when Brother Xi blocked Master Fei in the alley.
Brother Xi said that five years ago, Master Fei was a powerful figure, and everyone in the circle knew about it.
Now he has to rely on deceit to set up a stall to make a living, which is very depressing.
What happened five years ago?
"Do you want to hear the story of a bastard five years ago?" Master Fei asked Yanxi with his back turned.
"Asshole? Who?"
"Me." Master Fei turned around, walked a few steps, and sat back beside him.
"I would like to hear the details." He unscrewed the water bottle, took a sip, and looked expectantly into Master Fei's deep eyes.
That look was full of annoyance and regret, full of sadness and emptiness.
"I, Li Fei.
Nicknamed Fei Ye, friends in the rivers and lakes gave him the nickname Lao Li Feidao.
Since I was young, I have learned the craft of antiques from my elderly grandfather. After my grandfather passed away, the old man took me for a while.
To be honest, my academic performance is terrible, but I have mastered this craft very well.
Maybe it's talent.
I didn't pass the high school entrance examination. The old man arranged for me to go to a technical school to learn some skills for making a living.
I was young and frivolous, so of course I didn't want to do rough work in the factory.
How much money can you earn for a lifetime of doing those rough jobs?
Since I was sixteen or seventeen, I have been working in various antique markets in the imperial capital for 30 years.
I still remember the first time I made money was when I bought a plate from an official kiln at a low price, and then sold it for ten times the price.
Antiques, Wenwan, calligraphy and painting, these things have gone deep, all relying on deceit.
Of course, I can't do this kind of thing all the time. Most of the time, I exist as a treasure appraiser.
If the owner of any store starts to argue with a customer, he must call me over. As soon as the goods are on display, you can tell who is right and who is wrong at a glance.
Relying on this skill, in the imperial capital, it can be said that I never have to pay for my meals, and there are always people rushing to pay for me.
But people are never satisfied, and the bad thing is the greedy word.
Five years ago, a friend said that there was a big business in northern Shaanxi, and a large local family was in a hurry to ship a batch of goods.
He asked me to accompany him to pick a few, and he also picked a few for himself by the way.
No matter how conceited I was in the past, I also set a rule for myself, do whatever I want in the imperial city, and don't look at goods outside the imperial capital.
For those people from other places, it is hard to say whether they will meet for the second time in a lifetime, and they cannot control it.
Why are rivers and lakes called rivers and lakes, why not oceans?
Because this thing cannot be infinite, but small circles one after another, rivers and lakes, right?
I have my own circle, and I am prosperous in my own circle, that's enough, why should I mix with other people's fish ponds?
Sorry.
That friend quoted a price that I couldn't refuse, and I was so moved.
We quickly packed up and set off.
The big family lived in a mountain, very remote, but the house was built in an antique style, with frequent entry and exit, very grand.
The things that were brought out were indeed genuine, rare in the world.
The strange thing is that this family is very vague about the value of these things. They only know that they are handed down from their ancestors, and they look like laymen.
I discussed with that friend, and calmly and fiercely killed a batch of prices.
On the surface, I didn't change my face, but in my heart, I was already thinking about shipping at a sky-high price after I came back.
We packed the goods, carried them into the car, and drove all the way back.
I didn't expect to be stopped and detained when I entered the imperial capital checkpoint.
The official rhetoric is reselling cultural relics.
I argued that the underground is called cultural relics, and these are passed down from other people's families, and at most they can be regarded as antiques.
In the end, when I revisited the old place with the police, I found out that the house had already been emptied, and I couldn’t argue with it.
This is such a game!
At that time, I was pointed out two ways.
The first way is to directly sentence and convict according to the "Law on the Protection of Cultural Relics", and put them in jail.
The second way is to donate all the antiques that have been treasured at home for many years and strive for leniency.
Donate?Hehe, they just wanted to copy my house.
How can I choose?If you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of running out of firewood. Of course, you need to protect yourself first.
The foundations of the two generations of the family, except for the ghost-faced blood lion that I hid, were all removed, and the houses were empty, so desolate.
They kept their word, and I was released afterward.
I thought that I would be able to make a comeback sooner or later with my ability.
As a result, there was a lot of rumors in the rivers and lakes, saying that I, Li Fei, reselling cultural relics, committing crimes, cheating and abducting, and defrauding the world.
Since then, no one has come to me to appraise treasures, and no one has done business with me.
I really have nothing but a dozen loyal brothers.
So, I also think about it. Many things in life have a fixed number. When you are young, you can enjoy a lot in advance. When you are old, you will have nothing. "
Yanxi touched the mineral water bottle with the bottle in Master Fei's hand, as if he was serving wine, and said, "Let's raise our glasses and toast to the past."
Master Fei smiled wryly twice, took a sip, and said, "Jiang Yuheng, it's ok, have you heard such an old song?"
"I have been with my uncle since I was a child, and I listen to what they listen to," he closed the lid and asked, "Your friend, which way did he choose?"
"Him?" Master Fei snorted disdainfully, "That bastard, he saved this game! I have today, thanks to him!"
Master Fei, who has talked about loyalty all his life, unexpectedly got stabbed in the back by a friend. This fall is quite a big one.
Society is like this, people die for money and birds die for food.
"Master Fei, you also said that there are still more than a dozen sincere brothers who live with you. Don't you have the heart for them to set up street stalls and perform in group performances with you for a lifetime?"
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Master Fei was very straightforward, and opened the skylight to speak frankly.
Yanxi took his time, took out his mobile phone and clicked on the "Find Shanghao" app, put it in front of Fei Ye and said, "This is a mobile phone app we designed for the elderly.
The original function was just to help find things, that is, how to find things quickly after the things in the house are misplaced.
Later, Tencent took a fancy to this product and invested 3 million in us.
That's a lot of money, isn't it?
We promised Tencent that we will make this APP the most popular mobile application for the elderly.
So a lot of functions were added later, such as chatting, forums, health checkups, and so on.
I have thought of you in the past two days, and your craft can also be added.
For the elderly group, it is inevitable that there are some old objects. After a long time, they want to inquire about the price, which can be regarded as leaving something for future generations.
You, as our external expert, represent the company and provide free door-to-door appraisal services.
All over the country, regardless of planes, trains or ships, you can choose whatever you want, even rockets, and the company will report to you.
Every time you come to the door, you will be paid 1 yuan as an appearance fee.
If the customer gives you a good review, we will add another [-] bonus.
I have prepared 500 million. After you earn the 500 million, if you don't want to continue to cooperate, you can leave at any time. Otherwise, you will continue to work and collect money as agreed.
Your reputation was damaged before, but that was only your own small circle in the imperial capital. Our app is open to the whole country, and those who slandered you may not be here at all.
This may be your chance to make a comeback, do you want to try it? "
Master Fei listened intently, tapping his index finger rhythmically on the table, holding a half-smoked cigarette in his mouth, and the ash would fall off at any moment.
"Little brother," he thought for a long time, took a puff of cigarette hard, frowned, and the muscles on his face were all tense, and asked suspiciously, "Why are you helping me? What are you trying to do? What should I order? You and I met by chance, why don’t you pay 500 million yuan to save me, who is half buried in the loess?"
Why?If you don't help Master Fei, and you can't find someone else to rescue, Yanxi will explode!
Plotting his life, plotting his own life, life is bigger than the sky, what can't be figured out?
"I'd love to fool you with internet thinking, or something else that can fool you, but I don't think it's necessary.
I need someone like you to help me make a career out of it.
I pay, you provide technology, no business is involved, no law is violated, we will win in a safe enough world.
Is it bad?
I know that 500 million is not a lot in this era, and it is not enough to support your big group of brothers.
But this money is aboveboard, and it is much more at ease than holding the money cheated by setting up a stall, isn't it?
Moreover, 500 million should be enough for you to open a small shop, and in time you will be able to regain its glory.
There is an old song that I like very much, called "Follow Your Feeling".
At least my feeling is right this time, if you believe me, try it. "
The reason why Yanxi said to follow the feeling is that he has not thought about how to turn this craft into a service product that can make the company profitable.
Just relying on door-to-door appraising treasures will not bring any real income. Instead, it will cost a lot of traveling expenses and appearance fees.
If the verbal promise of 500 million is spent, it may not even make a bubble.
But there is always a strange and vague feeling leading him to think in this direction.
If Fei Ye's joining is destined, then the follow-up butterfly effect will definitely come to light, and the clouds will break through.
This time, he intends to firmly follow his feelings.
Master Fei sucked the last butt of that cigarette clean, his brows relaxed, and he laughed with relief: "Hahahaha, you are the craziest young man I have ever seen. Guess what? My old Li I am willing to accompany you crazy this time, so I will go all out!"
Master Fei's big hand shook Yan Xi's tightly, the strength increased with joy, and the pain made him look bitter.
"Hahaha, I'm sorry, I'm used to it."
"It hurts, but it's fun. I wish you a happy cooperation! Wait for my call." Yanxi walked out of the belly shop satisfied and drove home.
Two-thirds of the mission has been completed, and there is only one last person who has gone astray. Who will it be?
