Antique Dealer

Chapter 283 Difficulties
Fang Hao is very grateful to Ma Xiaohu for the video taken at a critical moment. Although it was finally confirmed that the porcelain used to blackmail him was a fake, if there is no video of Ma Xiaohu, it is difficult to bring people to justice.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Fang Hao invited Ma Xiaohu to dinner, Ma Xiaohu readily agreed, and he immediately said that he could just find a small restaurant nearby.

So, the two found a fly restaurant that looked pretty good, and ordered a few dishes.

"Brother Ma, I will be driving later, so I will replace wine with tea and offer you a toast." Fang Hao toasted Ma Xiaohu first.

Ma Xiaohu smiled and drank: "Boss Fang, you are welcome. I originally wanted to make that kid unlucky, so I took the picture, but it was a coincidence. I didn't expect that kid to hit your idea, and it was him." Serve it right!"

The two exchanged some polite words, and Fang Hao asked about Ma Xiaohu's recent situation.

Ma Xiaohu told Fang Hao that after Fang Hao spent 100 million to buy "The Analects of Confucius" last time, Ma Xiaohu originally wanted to keep the money for his mother's pension, but his mother disagreed and said that he would leave part of it for Ma Xiaohu to open a store. , Stop setting up a stall outside.

Ma Xiaohu is quite worried about this. These days, the physical store business is much more difficult than before. Opening a store blindly may mean that it will close down soon because it cannot make ends meet. He doesn't want to lose everything.

Later, by chance, Ma Xiaohu asked a grocery store owner for advice, and found out that a small grocery store has a lot of knowledge. As long as the market is not bad, and he can concentrate on running the business, it is not a problem to support his family.

It happened that Ma Xiaohu knew a ready-made shop, so he sold it, and opened it for business after a little modification.Afterwards, relying on the experience gained from consulting and the help of friends, the grocery store operated stumblingly, and now it has finally stabilized its foothold. It is no problem to support the family. Of course, it must be much better than setting up a stall, and it is also easy Nice to hear.

And all of this is due to Fang Hao's generous purchase of the ancient book, which gave Ma Xiaohu the capital to open the store, so he has always been thinking about this matter in his heart.

For Ma Xiaohu's change, Fang Hao is happy for him. He tells Ma Xiaohu that he opened an antique shop so that Ma Xiaohu can go there when he is free.

Afterwards, the two talked about today's events again, and Fang Hao also told Ma Xiaohu about the cause and effect.

Ma Xiaohu is a dutiful son, and he must have sneered at people like Jiang Daode. He even said that Fang Hao did a good job and didn't let Jiang Daode succeed.

But correspondingly, Fang Hao was also retaliated by Jiang Daode. If he hadn't been lucky, he might have to spend money to eliminate the disaster.

In fact, without mentioning Jiang Daode's affairs, it is easy to offend people in the antique business.

For example, when some antique collectors sell antiques now, they think they are connoisseurs and masters, and when other buyers look down on or deny his item, they try their best to defend their collection.Even abuse, spread rumors to smear, and bite people everywhere like a mad dog!
If you meet this kind of person, if you don't pay attention to what you say, you may be hated.

In addition, some people have criticized the rules for signing agreements established in Fang Hao's store, saying that he is too crazy, arrogant, does not understand the rules, and so on.

If you want to survive in the antique industry, the most effective way is to "not boast about your strengths", keep a low profile, keep a low profile, and don't show off.The so-called tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it.

Of course, Fang Hao made this decision after careful consideration. Now that he has a system, he can't keep a low profile no matter what. It's better to be a little high-key at the beginning. After a long time, he will get used to it.

Ma Xiaohu scratched his head after the dishes were over. Anyone familiar with him would know that he wanted to ask someone, and he felt embarrassed: "Boss Fang, there is something I want to trouble you with. I wonder if it's convenient for you?"

Fang Hao smiled and nodded: "You say."

Ma Xiaohu suppressed the embarrassment in his heart: "It's like this. When I was on the road, I had a good friend. Once he fought with others and broke his leg, became disabled, and then retired. , I haven't had much contact with me in recent years.

A few days ago, I met him again, he was only two years older than me, but he was already like an old man, his hair was almost all white.I was taken aback at the time and asked him what was going on. Only then did I know that his three-year-old son was found to have some kind of muscular dystrophy. His family savings were all exhausted and he borrowed a lot of money. His hair turned gray in anxiety. .

I know that his family was quite rich before liberation, and he left a lot of old things, so I asked him if he still had any at home, and he told me that he sold everything that could be sold, and left some worthless bottles and jars Can.I'm thinking about it, will there be any fish that slipped through the net in those bottles and jars? I happened to meet you today, so I want to invite you to take a look. Can you take a look? "

As soon as Fang Hao heard that this was the case, he immediately agreed: "Okay, if it's convenient for you, let's go after dinner."

Ma Xiaohu was very happy, and immediately said that he was full and could go there now, and took the initiative to pay the bill.

But how could Fang Hao let him pay the bill, and he paid the bill with lightning speed.

Under the guidance of Ma Xiaohu, Fang Hao drove to the community where his friend lived.

This is also an old community. It looks like it has been in disrepair for a long time, and the environment is not very good. According to Ma Xiaohu, this place has been included in the list of old community renovations.

Ma Xiaohu brought Fang Hao to his friend's house. When he reached the door, he found the door was open. A gray-haired man shook hands with a middle-aged man, who left immediately.

Zou Mao was a little surprised when he saw Ma Xiaohu: "Brother Hu, why are you here?"

Ma Xiaohu said: "Come here to see you, you guys are..."

"I'm going to sell the house." Zou Mao smiled bitterly.

Ma Xiaohu was taken aback: "Ah! The house is sold, where do you live?"

"Hey, the current situation at home is really unbearable. I can sell the house to collect some medical expenses and pay back the money I owed."

Zou Mao smiled wryly and said: "You also know that I don't like to owe money to others. Now that I owe so much, I don't think about tea or food every day. If this continues, I will get sick too. If I get sick, I will What about the child? It's better to sell the house and focus on the things in front of you first."

Ma Xiaohu opened his mouth, but he also knew that Zou Mao's temper was too stubborn. He couldn't persuade Zou Mao, so he had to take back what he said. Now he can only hope for a miracle. There are still valuable things left by Zou Mao's family. of.

"Old cat, this is Boss Fang. He is in the antique business. Are the old objects left by your ancestors still there?"

Zou Mao didn't expect that Ma Xiaohu came here for this matter, and he was very moved: "Brother Hu, thank you for remembering this matter, the things are still there, but they are all worthless things, I think Boss Fang will have to run away for nothing." trip."

　I'm sorry, I haven't been in a good state for the past two days. I'm sick today.
