Life Simulation: Start with Appreciation

Chapter 219

Xiao Ru took Xu Gang and Yao Kun into Lao Chen's Chinese painting shop.

In the center of the store was a picture of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains in China, and Chen Zhun was very polite, with a smiling face, serving the soaked Biluochun to everyone.

"Xiao Xiao, are these your friends?"

Xiao Ru began to introduce one by one: "This is Yao Kun, who came here from the countryside and plans to set up a stall in Jinmen Antique City."

Yao Kun stretched out his hands towards Chen Zhun, and they held each other lightly.

Some courtesy: "Boss Chen's business is booming, and he will take care of his younger brother in the future."

"Boss Yao, you are too modest! What we need in this line of work is to be as humble and low-key as you."

Immediately, Chen Zhun stroked his beard and looked at Xu Gang.

Xiao Ru went on to introduce: "This is my cousin, everyone calls him Lao Xu."

Xu Gang was different from Yao Kun. He deliberately put on a big picture and stretched out his right hand, ready to show his love to Chen Zhun.

Chen Zhun nodded and laughed, holding hands with Xu Gang tightly.

It can be seen from the expression that Xu Gang exerted a lot of strength, and Chen Zhun also exerted all his strength, and the facial muscles became tighter.
"Old Xu, you are amazing!"

"Hehe, Boss Chen! You have a lot of pictures of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in China in your store."

"Where is there, my Chinese paintings are not too many, but the quality is slightly better than other shops."

Immediately, the two let go of their hands, Xu Gang appeared more relaxed, but Chen Zhun was sweating all over.

Liu Shuya saw that Xu Gang was testing Chen Zhun, so she smiled and broke the deadlock.

"Boss Chen, Lao Xu just took a look around, so you can introduce him."

Chen Zhun concealed his inner displeasure, walked towards a high-standard fake, and said: "The quality of this picture of China's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains is top-notch. I want to give it to brother Xu."

Xu Gang felt a little inexplicable and asked, "Yo?"

"I don't know anything about traditional Chinese painting. Even if I hang the original painting at home, it will look vulgar, because I don't understand what the painting wants to express at all."

"Why don't you give this painting to Lao Yao?"

When Chen Zhun heard this, he handed the painting to Yao Kun, "Boss Yao, you don't dislike my painting, do you?"

Yao Kun was flattered, hesitated, and took the painting.

Everyone laughed, and Xiao Ru took what the Jinmen Cultural Exchange said: "Boss Chen's shop may not be big, but his works are absolutely popular in the Jinmen Cultural Exchange."

"The daily transaction volume is tens of millions, and there are also a large number of antique lovers entrusted with financial management."

Chen Zhun nodded at the side, and said: "Xiao Xiao is absolutely right, the old man is indeed a Chinese painting supplier for the Jinmen Cultural Exchange."

Xu Gang asked: "How much supply does Boss Chen provide to the Jinmen Cultural Exchange every day?"

Chen Zhun said, "That's not necessarily the case."

"The quantity supplied shall be determined by the results of the entrustment."

“If there are too few people entrusted, no valid matches can be formed that day.”

"If too many people participate in entrustment, the matching rate on the day will be very low, even close to 0%"

"Oh?" Xu Gang was even more puzzled.

"I think today's matching rate has reached 14%. Isn't this a small number?"

"This is many times greater than the odds of winning an IPO or a lottery."

Chen Zhun smiled slyly for a while, and said, "Old Xu, you need to change your thinking."

"Traditional Chinese painting entrustment cannot simply be compared with lottery or IPO, because the models are different."

"The entrustment of traditional Chinese painting is something that can be seen and touched."

"Daily income has two characteristics: one is high income, which is more than 10 times that of bank deposits in the same period; Can lie down and make money."

Xu Gang was full of doubts: "Lie down and make money? Whose money are you making?"

This aggressive question made Chen Zhun's face pale, and Xiao Ru wanted to hear how Chen Zhun explained it.
"Old Xu, let's think more broadly."

"It's equivalent to the old man mortgaged the traditional Chinese painting and borrowed it from the bank. Part of the money will be distributed to the trustees, and part of the money will be used to start an industry."

"One-thousandth of the daily income is just a small amount of money. You can make a lot of money by doing business!"

Xu Gang nodded and said, "I see."

"Boss Chen is under a lot of pressure to get a loan from the bank and pay high interest to antique lovers at the same time."

This sentence confuses everyone.

In fact, this is questioning Chen Zhun. An ordinary traditional Chinese painting shop has problems in operation, so what money is there to pay such high interest?

Chen Zhun deliberately pretended to be nonchalant, and laughed loudly: "Old Xu, your murderous intent is too strong!"

It was purely nonsensical, how could it be possible to see that Xu Gang had murderous intent for no reason.

Xu Gang frowned, and then he couldn't laugh or cry: "Boss Chen, I'm just an ordinary migrant worker. How can I be murderous? It's because you read too many martial arts novels."

The whole room roared with laughter.

At this time, the sun has gradually set from the west.

The reunion of old friends is basically the end of it.

Xu Gang got into the car and was going back to the capital. He had to go to work on time tomorrow morning.

"Deputy Xiao, you are in charge of the work here, Xiao Liu and Yao Kun are at your disposal!"

"Please remember, you must call me if you have any difficulties. Tanka and I can come to Jinmen to help you at any time."

After saying goodbye, the figures of Xu Gang and Che gradually disappeared in Jinmen.
Yao Kun asked confusedly, "Inspector Xiao, Boss Chen said that Old Xu is too murderous, so he has doubts about our identities?"

Xiao Ru shook his head and said, "That's not the case."

"Old Xu has always liked to play psychological warfare with his opponents, so he tested Chen Zhun in advance."

"Actually, Chen Zhun is a little aggressive."

"Like Zhang Xiong and Liu Duojiao, it's good."

Back at the Rose Hotel, Liu Shuya rested early, but Yao Kun was reluctant to part with Xiao Ru, and the two chatted in the room for a long time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Ru arranged Yao Kun's work.

"From tomorrow onwards, you have to pay close attention to Zhang Jiaguo's painting shop to see if there are any suspicious people there."

Yao Kun nodded and wrote down all this. In fact, this was the same as monitoring Chen Gui and Ma Jun in Panjiayuan before, because Zhang Xiong would not pay attention to what kind of mission Yao Kun was performing.

Xiao Ru also ordered: "Once there is an abnormality in the shop, take a photo."

"Don't go to the door to eavesdrop, after all, this is not Panjiayuan."

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ru took out 500 yuan from his pocket, handed it over, and said, "This is the first week's hard work, you should accept it first."

Yao Kun quickly refused.

"Don't, don't"

"Inspector Xu arranged for me to go to Jinmen Antique City, and the Economic Investigation Bureau has already paid for me."

"Now, I am also a person who eats imperial food."

While talking, the two laughed.

"If I were 20 years younger, I might be able to have a solid job."

"I'm afraid your dream can only be placed on the next generation."

Yao Kun said quietly: "Actually, Lao Xu has basically locked down Zhang Bihui's whereabouts. This time I was sent to the Jinmen Antique City to help you find enough evidence to take down the criminal gang led by Zhang Bihui."

Xiao Ru kept nodding.

"The conspiracy of the Jinmen Cultural Exchange will soon be revealed."
