Missy's Ghost Guard

Chapter 197 The Second Antique

Zhou Qiang originally didn't want to reveal that he knew how to appraise treasures. After all, it would remind people of the existence of "Relic Art".

However, you can't give up eating because of choking.

Now he urgently needs to earn enough money to maintain his ancient martial arts training, and to improve the strength of the two people with special physiques he focused on training——Zhao Yanzhi and Chu Tangtang.

What's more, his Armory Film and Television Group also needs start-up funds to maintain daily operations so that it can become a hen that lays golden eggs in the future.This is the initial stage of entrepreneurship, and money has to be spent in many places.And when the company is operating normally and starting to make a profit, Zhou Qiang will be able to obtain sufficient capital supplements every year, and he can devote his main energy to cultivation without going out to work hard.

Therefore, the behavior of earning start-up funds for the Armory Group can be described as "sharpening a knife without cutting firewood by mistake".

In addition, Zhou Qiang already had a general vague idea in his mind, and he felt that it was irrelevant whether it would attract the suspicion of the "Relic Art" from the mastermind behind the scenes.The most important thing now is undoubtedly the improvement of one's own strength, and everything else can be temporarily put aside.

The antique dealer was complacent, constantly sneering, venting his anger towards Zhou Qiang who "hugs left and right", venting his dissatisfaction with people who are richer than him, as if earning 600 is a big victory.

"Don't be angry, that kind of person is really mentally ill and belongs to neuroticism." Zhao Yanzhi was worried that Zhou Qiang's mentality would be out of balance, and comforted him with a smile, "The mentality of hating the rich is nothing, many people have it, but 99% of them are very serious." Slight, just a little bit of envy and jealousy, and this mentality can also evolve into a motivation to struggle, so it is not an evil emotion. But this antique dealer is obviously mentally distorted. His hatred of the rich has evolved into deceiving the rich, But I forgot that I was also breaking the law. It’s a pity that the rule in the antique circle is that if the baby leaves the hands, the consequences will be at your own risk, so we can’t call the police.”

Chu Tangtang curled her lips: "We're not local tyrants either. Wei Liang and Wei Ji are rich and heartless bastards, but he's trying to curry favor with others. This kind of person is really weird!"

"It's all about bullying the weak and fearing the hard." Zhou Qiang smiled lightly, his expression as usual, "Besides, the Wei family is considered a second-rate family in Yanjing. The two brothers also often come to the Chenghuang Temple. Antique dealers with a little discernment should know each other. In order to cling to Well, this antique dealer is naturally doing everything he can to disgust us. This kind of worshiping the high and trampling the low is commonplace anywhere in the world."

"Okay." Zhou Qiang said seriously, "We must not fall for the trick, and look for antiques. Next, we have to win beautifully! Fang Senyan brought Wei Liang and Wei Ji to find fault, and proposed this 1000 million gamble, which is In order to make me feel bad, he pushed me into the abyss little by little, and avenged his aunt. If that's the case, then I will use my tricks and beat them up, making them bleed, losing money and losing face!"

"Okay, come on!" Chu Tangtang clenched her fists tightly, encouraging Zhou Qiang vigorously.

"But..." Zhao Yanzhi swallowed her saliva, and said depressedly, "That bastard Fang Senyan took advantage of the loopholes in the rules and secured our first antique as soon as he came up. It was a piece worth 18 yuan. Nothing compares to plastic imitation handicrafts."

Zhou Qiang's lips curled up in a playful arc, but he didn't say much.

18 yuan? ? ?

Heh... The truth will be revealed soon, and Fang Senyan and the antique dealer will be sure to catch the attention of Fang Senyan and that antique dealer.

"It doesn't matter." Chu Tangtang said confidently, "As long as you can really find an antique, it is enough to win over the Wei family brothers. The value of a good antique is better than too many bad ones. Therefore, as long as brother Zhou Qiang can identify one, he can win for sure."

"Him?" Zhao Yanzhi twitched her red lips angrily, "You have seen his skills. He spent 600 yuan to buy a plastic thing worth 18 yuan. The level of plastic and emerald can't be distinguished. What can you expect? ? Tangtang, you were born in a wealthy Chu family, and you have very good eyesight. In my opinion, this matter must fall on you! We all rely on you!"

"Me?" Chu Tangtang shook her little head like a rattle, "I only know a little bit about the identification of antiques, because I was very interested in jewelry when I was young. If you really ask me to appraise treasures, I'm afraid I will People will play around."

Zhao Yanzhi was dumbfounded immediately, the two guys in front of him were both guys with a bottle of less than half a bottle, but Zhou Qiang was spending a lot of money, directly calling out a gamble of 1000 million!

"Who said I can't do it?" Zhou Qiang rubbed his nose and smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry, that antique dealer has bad eyesight, he smugly thought that he could sell a fake for 600 yuan, haha, there will be him in the future When I regret my intestines."

Zhao Yanzhi suddenly turned anger into joy, and grabbed the emerald paperweight in her palm: "Really? Isn't this thing plastic?"

Zhou Qiang smiled without saying a word, did not tell her any more, then went directly to an ancient sword shop, and took aim at a rather exquisitely crafted Japanese samurai sword.

"Welcome to visit us. We have a collection of weapons from all over the world, including bronze swords from the Warring States period of our country, samurai swords from Japan, Damascus swords from the Persian Empire, and other guns, swords, halberds and axe, etc." Come up to sell with enthusiasm.After all, a man who is accompanied by a beautiful woman is naturally a handsome man, which is a common understanding of the whole society.

Zhao Yanzhi and Chu Tangtang were very uncomfortable, because the owner looked at them as if he was looking at a mistress.

"OK, I'm not going to be a joke anymore, how much is this thing?" Zhou Qiang pointed bluntly at a samurai sword that was quite corroded at the entrance.

It had broken and was temporarily held together by glue.

"Oh, buddy, you have good eyesight!" The shopkeeper, in the spirit of slaughtering a fat sheep, immediately started to run the train with his mouth full, showing a embarrassed look, "This thing is the treasure of my store, it is a real I'm sorry that it can't be sold, because you know, for an antique shop that is open for business, there must be a few treasures of the shop to attract customers, so that customers can see the capabilities of our shop. However, these treasures of town stores are often only exhibits and are not for sale.”

"So that's the case." Zhao Yanzhi suddenly realized.

Zhou Qiang chuckled and shook his head: "I said buddy, although I don't know the rules of your antique shop, but you don't fool me. Because I understand basic logic, what you said is too much. It's outrageous!"

The store manager was taken aback for a moment, and was about to speak, but was interrupted directly by Zhou Qiang.

"First of all, if it is really the treasure of the store, it must not be placed so close to the door! Because the street of Chenghuang Temple is full of people and your business is booming, it means that at least hundreds of people come and go from your store every day. shop. If there is a slight mistake, if you get bumped, or if there is a thief who wants to steal the sheep, take this samurai sword and run away, you will have no time to chase it! This is totally illogical.”

"Secondly, if it is the treasure of the town store, it is so corroded now, why don't you find a master to clean it up? Because rust will continue to evolve, and it will constantly damage the essence of the ancient sword, so it must be eradicated as soon as possible. But you don't care at all, so it's not worth much at all."

"Third, the glue you used to attach it turned out to be the cheapest kind of wood glue for decoration. I can smell the pungent formaldehyde smell from tens of meters away. This thing is harmful to metal. But if it is damaged, why do you abandon it like a shoe?"

The store manager was immediately refuted speechless, all the smiles froze on his face, he could only numbly pinch the small red clay stove for warming his hands, to ease the embarrassment a little.

"Hey, you are really a profiteer. You came here just by opening your mouth. Let's withdraw. I have already dealt with one profiteer, and I am not interested in provoking another one!" Zhao Yanzhi gave the store manager a disgusted look, and tugged at the corner of Zhou Qiang's clothes. , is about to leave.

Chu Tangtang also turned her head immediately, not interested in saying more.

The store manager hurriedly smiled: "Dude, you are just kidding. You speak so professionally, of course I will give you a real price, please rest assured!"

Although he was very upset about being exposed by Zhou Qiang, of course he had to greet people with a smile when he opened the door for business, not to mention that broken samurai sword was so rotten that no one cared about it all the time, no, it was rusty.If no one wants it anymore, he can only sell it wholesale to garbage pickers.

"My son wants it purely because I want to hang a dragon-killing sword on my villa. Therefore, as long as it is an ancient sword, it doesn't matter whether it is good or bad, the cheaper the better." Zhou Qiang pouted, "So , I immediately fell in love with the worst-looking one in your store."

"So that's how it is." The store manager suddenly showed a bitter face, and he also realized that this business is not profitable.

"What is the Dragon Killing Sword?" Zhao Yanzhi asked curiously.

The store manager sighed, and explained for Zhou Qiang: "Generally speaking, the decoration of my house should be small pendants such as wild animals, unicorns, and golden dragons that attract good luck or wealth. But if you hang a sword, it is to look at the sword The direction of the front. Because hanging the ancient sword is for murderous luck! Obviously, this gentleman wants to take away the fortune and fortune of a certain neighbor and make them unlucky. It seems that your neighbor relationship is not very good."

"We have a ghostly neighbor! Zhou Qiang is obviously talking nonsense to bluff people." Zhao Yanzhi rolled her eyes in her heart.

Zhou Qiang raised his thumb: "The store manager is very knowledgeable."

"However, if the quality of the Dragon Slaying Sword is better, or even if it has been consecrated with human blood on ancient battlefields, the effect will be even more powerful! The neighbors pointed at by it will not only be in bad luck, but also more likely to suffer bloody disasters! Don't you want to pick a few good handles?" The store manager rolled his eyes and started to sell again.

Zhou Qiang smiled lightly, shook his head and politely declined: "There are some quarrels and frictions between the neighbors, just kill their arrogance. Why do you have to quarrel to the point of death, you must use the best ancient sword to completely cut off the luck of others ?”

"It turns out that our ancestors also had this kind of dark side." Chu Tangtang looked suddenly awakened, as if meeting antiques and ancestors for the first time in his life.

"Okay, I'll offer 5000 yuan, and if you ask me for another 112 yuan, it will be treated as 4888, how about it?" Not long after, Zhou Qiang started to make an offer.

"...It's okay!" When he heard that it could be sold for 5000, the store manager couldn't help being overjoyed, thinking it was quite fair, he just took out a box and asked Zhou Qiang to put it in it.

"Really want to buy it?" Zhao Yanzhi pushed Zhou Qiang for a while, his face full of vigilance.

After all, according to the rules, this means that Zhou Qiang has bought a second antique than the trial one.

Zhao Yanzhi was very worried that Zhou Qiang would lose in the hands of Wei Liang and Wei Ji.Because he was just tossing around, picking a good thing without any seriousness at all.

Zhou Qiang smiled slightly, and said to the boss, "Check out!"
