Chapter 0347: The Phone Call
“No dare, I’m Zhuang Rui. Just call me by my name, may I ask who you are?”
The male voice on the phone Zhuang Rui was unfamiliar, it was certain that he had never heard it before, it was just that this person spoke in a very polite tone, Zhuang Rui hastened to make a few modest remarks over the phone.
“My surname is Wu, Mr. Zhuang called me Squid is fine.”
The other party’s words almost didn’t make Zhuang Rui laugh out loud, originally heard that surname and thought it was a surname with Wu Jia, who knew that it was actually a water product.
“Well, I don’t know what Mr. Wu is looking for me for?”
Zhuang Rui held back his laughter, out of the blue asked, there is always a group of very different people in this world, give themselves some wu messy nicknames, and also do not allow others to say that he is a good person, who said with who sharp eyes, looks like this one on the phone is.
“Just call me squid, it’s like this, I heard that Mr. Zhuang wants to buy a few antiques right?”
When Zhuang Rui heard this, his heart hit a jolt, and he quickly sat up straight and said, “I am engaged in collecting. Recently bought a mansion, want to get some gadgets to decorate, how, Mr. Wu hands have good things?”
“Oh, no goods on hand, naturally do not dare to bother Mr. Zhuang, we have to organize some of the collectors in the capital in recent days, held an academic exchange of antiques, do not know if Mr. Zhuang has time to participate?”
Squid that bites the words, let Zhuang Rui really can not help it, cover the phone’s microphone laughed loudly, this black market on the black market Well, have to say into what antique academic exchanges, this person is really humorous, and the year Feng Gong that the “thieves company” of the comedy have a spell.
“What the hell?”
The side of the driving Gu Yun, was Zhuang Rui sudden laughter startled, almost did not hit the steering wheel crooked off.
“Nothing, nothing, Brother Gu, you drive steadily ……”
Zhuang Rui held back his laughter, let go of the hand covering the microphone and said, “What time exactly? As you know Mr. Wu, it’s about to be Mid-Autumn Festival, and it’s going to be quite busy for a few days.”
“The preliminary time set is the morning after tomorrow, I wonder if Mr. Zhuang is free?”
“The day after tomorrow morning! Isn’t that the Mid-Autumn Festival? I’m sure I don’t have time. I say you really know how to pick the day, who can be free at that time?”
Zhuang Rui said this is true, the day after tomorrow, grandpa’s side of the cousin, uncle and aunt are to come, although he is not so handsome, but also to stay in the mother side of the face it! I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to do that, but I’m going to be able to do it!
As for the promise of Miao Fei Fei thing, Zhuang Rui did not think much, this help people do is right, but always have to wait for their own free time well!
Squid heard Zhuang Rui’s words, but the heart of a happy, dry our line, certainly can not be bright, for the first time to invite the guests, are to go through a few checks, if not this called Zhuang Rui on TV, is indeed the antique line inside the words, even if there is an introducer, they will not be easy to send out invitations to them.
Although it is said that the black market was arrested into the bureau, generally are closed for three or five days can be bailed out, but those goods are certainly confiscated, their share of the money is gone, not to mention. Will also be scolded by the boss behind the scenes, so like the squid such as concrete work of people, are more cautious.
If Zhuang Rui opened his mouth to agree, the squid may directly hang up the phone, but instead this push back, let the squid a little sure that Zhuang Rui is not the police trust.
“Mr. Zhuang, you are in the business, should also know our difficulties, some objects are not very see the light, so well, this time on the arrangement must be a little more rigorous, there is no way things ah!”
Squid words in the meaning of Zhuang Rui is heard out, this so-called arrangement of rigorous, in fact, is thinking of the holidays when the police will be busy, drill this hole, in fact, they themselves also understand that the police if they really want to deal with them, if the time to arrange in the New Year’s Eve are useless.
Zhuang Rui thought for a moment, that day may not be able to go, so said: “But the Mid-Autumn Festival day really is not much time ah, or, I’ll attend next time!”
The other end of the phone heard Zhuang Rui’s words, anxious, quickly said: “Do not, Mr. Zhuang, this time there are a lot of good objects, Tang and Song dynasty paintings, Ming and Qing dynasty porcelains, and some bronze with inscriptions. After this village there will be no store ah!”
Who invited the guests, wait until the end of the black market, that is a bonus to take, and that money is definitely thicker than the unit issued, squid heard Zhuang Rui in Jinan, Shandong, bought a bronze, know that he is the purchasing power of the people, so spared no effort to speak out to invite, even the black market in the objects are revealed.
However, this is heard in the ears of connoisseurs, how to penetrate a false word, not to mention the Tang Dynasty ancient paintings, simply did not retain a few pairs, and most of them are lost in foreign countries, that is, Song Dynasty ancient paintings, that is also a rare rare and extremely rare, this squid opened his mouth is the Tang and Song Dynasty ancient paintings, purely bullshit.
However, the bronze with inscription is to let Zhuang Rui keep an eye on, we must know, bronze above the inscription and no inscription, the price is a world of difference, like Zhuang Rui that three-legged tripod, if with a few inscriptions, it is not hundreds of thousands of dollars can be bought, the price of ten times more than can not be beaten.
Although the director of Wu also said in advance. Bronzes can not be bought and sold privately, but they go to see a good, bronzes are not compared to those paintings and calligraphy antiques, handed down more, maybe there are really some treasures!
There is another point is that, this time the State of Guo’s tomb was excavated objects, there are a lot of bronze, perhaps really lost to the hands of these black market is not allowed to think of here, Zhuang Rui a bit hesitant.
“Mr. Zhuang, this exchange will not be very long. Seven or eight o’clock in the morning on the start, with less than noon on the end of the delay can not delay you over the festival, then again, if you can pull out a good thing in the festival, not also will be in a good mood, you say is not this reason?”
Squid see Zhuang Rui on the phone silent down, and quickly drummed up their own that three-inch tongue lobbying up, to say the squid this mouth is really clever, even if not to do the black market this business, go to do the sales pitch is also able to make a living, Zhuang Rui is really said to him to move the heart.
“Let’s do it this way! You call me the day after tomorrow, I will decide to go, and ah! If I go, I will bring a female companion, I don’t know if it’s possible?”
Zhuang Rui didn’t say the words to death, he wanted to go home at night and discuss with his mother, if he can go away, he will go around.
“Success, no problem to bring one person, then I won’t bother Mr. Zhuang, I’ll call you the day after tomorrow ……”
People who can go to the black market are usually well off, it’s normal to bring a woman to show off, basically every time you host the black market, there will be a few women that will make the squid look at them and drool, so Zhuang Rui’s request isn’t too much to ask.
See Zhuang Rui hung up the phone, driving Gu Yun said: “What’s wrong, to go to the black market to get objects? Going to that kind of place eyes but to shine a bit ah!”
“Brother Gu also knows about the black market?” Zhuang Rui asked strangely in return.
“Of course, my old man has been, bought several pieces of ancient jade said to be freshly unearthed back, was very happy, and then carefully play with the pondering, all are fake, hey, this thing you do not talk nonsense. Who said the old man with who anxious ……”
Gu Yun said Zhuang Rui laughed, did not think that the ancient master uncle of this titanic figure in the jade world, actually suffered a loss in the black market, visible there how deep the water is.
Two people talking car also drove to Dong Lai Shun, noon this business is just right, waiting for a while to have a seat.
After dinner, Zhuang Rui first sent Gu Yun back home, and then drove back to the Yuquan Mountain Sanatorium.
“Fourth brother, why did you come over, aren’t you busy organizing the wedding?” As soon as he walked into the courtyard, Zhuang Rui saw Ouyang Jun coming out of the house and hurriedly went forward to greet him.
When Ouyang Jun saw Zhuang Rui, he pulled him outside and said, “Don’t mention it, I’m busy to death, I don’t know that Guodong is here, so I came to take a look at him. I’ll be leaving soon. Right, are you alright? Go, go with me to help, there are still many things to buy in the afternoon.”
“Hey, Fourth Brother, I haven’t even entered the door yet, what are you going to buy?”
“Buy some bedding, Xu Qing is waiting there, you say women are really troublesome, find someone to buy it and send it to them, but you have to go buy it yourself.”
“Bedding? Wait, I’ll take the white lion with me ……”
Zhuang Rui heart moved, their dozen bedrooms are empty, by the way, bought together is not bad, bring the white lion, just let it first in the courtyard familiar with the environment.
Ouyang Jun saw Zhuang Rui whistled, the white lion rushed out, couldn’t help but ask in dismay: “What are you doing with it? We are going to the downtown area.”
“My mansion is also well decorated, just short of bedding, back to buy a few more, I pull the courtyard to go, let’s buy things, the white lion to stay in the car on the line.” Zhuang Rui pulled open the car door and let the white lion get into the car.
Ouyang Jun sniffed and shook his head and scolded with a smile, “Your kid is not married, but also rushed to get together this hilarious, into, you buy the objects all counted four brother’s, it is for you to get married in the future with the share ah!”
“Cheap, this thing will send me off ah!” Zhuang Rui saw that Ouyang Jun’s car had already driven out, and hurriedly followed.
To say that accompanying women shopping is really strength work, around the mall ran up and down seven or eight floors, only to be considered to buy things all live, just Zhuang Rui want to buy things, than Ouyang Jun two married with several times more, his big Cherokee simply can not put, to the end or the mall arranged a delivery truck, followed by Zhuang Rui returned to the courtyard.
Walking in the alley leading to Zhuang Rui’s house, Ouyang Jun complained: “I say, is it your wedding or my wedding ah? This afternoon has been busy for you.”
