What if I haven't seen Siheyuan?

Chapter 206: Targetting the Broken Marquis

After comforting Yan Xiaoyao, he walked aside with a serious face.

"Monkey, you are responsible for this section, tell me what's going on."

At this time, a thin boy who looked to be in his teens heard this, hurriedly stood up and explained the cause of the incident.

Scar Liu couldn't help but feel a headache after hearing what happened.

Although this poor Hou's family has fallen on hard times now, Scar Liu grew up in the local area and has been in this part of the city for a long time, so he has seen a lot of intrigues and schemes.

He also knew that a lean camel was bigger than a horse, and who knew what tricks these survivors of the previous dynasty would come up with.

Moreover, Hou Polan is quite famous in this area.

He has been dealing in antiques over the years and has made the acquaintance of many people from all walks of life. Who knows, he might catch the eye of some big shot.

Scar Liu knew very well that he was just a small fry in the eyes of those above him. If anything really happened, he would be the first to suffer.

If it wasn't for the sake of having enough food to eat, he wouldn't do such a job that could cost him his life.

Not to mention the older generation, even the group of people who used to hang out with him, there are only a few left now.

The reason he has gotten to where he is today is that he keeps his head down, doesn't offend anyone, and tries to plant more flowers and less thorns.

After pondering for a while.

He looked at Yan Xiaoyao again and saw that he was holding a cigarette and staring at him with a murderous look on his face. He guessed that nothing he said would work now.

He wiped his face with a headache and walked towards Hou Paolan.

He handed him a cigarette and lit it for him.

"Old Hou, you really can't blame others for what happened today."

"I just asked everything clearly, and you just slapped me without saying a word.

He doesn't know much about this business and it's his first time here, so he must have thought it was 5 yuan.

Besides, if we couldn't agree on the price and the customer didn't want to buy it, and you stopped them from leaving, that would be a bit unfair.

If you ask me, we open a business to make a living, so there is no need to cause trouble, don’t you think? "

After saying that, he put his hand on the shoulder of the ragged Hou, hugged his neck, and whispered:

"You are well-informed, so I won't say any more.

Look at him, not only is he smoking Huazi, but he is alone and it's his first time here, but he dares to be so arrogant. He must be from an important background, maybe the son of one of those big shots.

It is better to have less trouble than more, so let's just take a step back and forget it."

Hou Pao Lan has been in the black market for so long, how could he not know Scar Liu? He also knows that he is not a good person.

Under normal circumstances, he would definitely give Scar Liu some face.

But what Yan Xiaoyao said just now was really too harsh.

You have to know that those who deal in antiques all rely on their reputation to make a living.

If I don't make this matter clear today, I won't be able to work in this industry anymore.

However, Paola Hou did not want to offend Scar Liu, after all, he would have to make a living in this area in the future.

He could only helplessly say: "Alas... You know, in our line of work, everything depends on reputation. If the reputation is destroyed, then everything will be over.

How about this, since you know him, please take the trouble to help him find someone to take a look and see whether my Yuan blue and white porcelain is real or fake.

If the appraisal turns out to be false, I will quit this business and will not have the face to do it again.

But if it is genuine, I won’t make it difficult for him. I am unlucky today because I didn’t explain myself clearly. I just sold it to him for 5 yuan as he asked.”

Seeing that Marquis Papa had given in, Scar Liu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He really didn't want to use force unless it was absolutely necessary.

He smiled and handed over another cigarette: "Okay, you are an open-minded person. Then you can smoke a cigarette first and take a deep breath. I will go and discuss it with that brother."

After saying that, he walked up to Yan Xiaoyao, handed him a cigarette, and said with a smile:

"Brother, I have figured out this matter, and it is indeed not your fault.

However, although I don’t know much about this thing, he should not be fooling you. This broken bottle should be the Yuan blue and white porcelain.”

At this point, he also briefly introduced the situation of Marquis Polan.

"This ragged marquis, his ancestors were royal relatives of the previous dynasty, he seems to be a marquis.

He has loved studying these things since he was a child.

After liberation, life became difficult, and in order to make a living, he kept selling these things on the streets, so everyone jokingly called him the Marquis of Broken Wallets.

However, this poor Hou has been collecting antiques for quite some time and is quite good at this business.

He has a good reputation in our area, and I have never heard of him using fake goods to deceive people."

Then he advised: "People in this business really value their reputation.

Do you think this will work?

I just discussed it with him. If you trust me, I will find two knowledgeable people to take a look at it and verify its authenticity.

Don't worry, if it's fake, you can just leave later.

If you want to verify that it is genuine, you won’t be charged much. Just take 5 yuan.”

Afraid that Yan Xiaoyao might worry that the person he found was unreliable, he lowered his voice and said:

“Brother, don’t worry.

I certainly won't just find two people to trick you.

We who work in this field cannot avoid dealing with these things on a daily basis.

So our boss specially found a few professors from Beijing University to judge. If you don’t believe it, you can go to the school to ask around and you will know whether it is true or not. "

After hearing Scar Liu's words, Yan Xiaoyao took a deep puff of cigarette with an expressionless face, feeling as if his head was about to explode.

Damn it...

This Poor Hou seems to be a character in a TV series!

Is it such a coincidence?

It’s my first time in the black market, and I can run into these people at any stall.

Although Yan Xiaoyao had not watched this TV series, when he read the novel before, it was said that this Polan Hou was an expert in antiques.

I guess the small vase I just pointed to might actually be a Yuan blue and white porcelain.

Yan Xiaoyao may not be familiar with other antiques, but he has heard of Yuan blue and white porcelain.

I remember reading a news report before, it seemed to be in 03, that a Yuan Dynasty blue and white flat vase with dragon pattern was sold in the United States at a sky-high price of more than 580 million US dollars.

I have also seen a lot of related short videos on Douyin. Wow, as long as it is Yuan blue and white porcelain, it is valuable.

Even those ordinary-looking Xibei products that cost only a few dollars each on Taobao can be easily sold for millions.

If it were a little bit nicer, it could be auctioned off for tens of millions, which is really outrageous.

Yan Xiaoyao also knew very well that antiques were worthless in the mainland for various reasons and were priced like cabbage.

But if we take it to Hong Kong, it will be worth a lot of money. Isn't it much more cost-effective than taking gold?

However, Yan Xiaoyao can also be considered an angry young man.

He certainly wouldn't sell anything rare; he only planned to bring some common goods over to get some start-up capital.

Thinking of this, Yan Xiaoyao immediately stared at Marquis Polan with shining eyes.

Hehe... Little old man, we can be said to have known each other for a long time. From now on, you should work hard for me!
