Iron Bull Legend

"You go get the house deed, I'll be waiting for you here." Xiao Tieniu said with a smile.

The boss walked directly to the alley, and the two people turned around and walked into Baojude. They saw the boss sitting inside and settling accounts. They saw the two people coming in and greeted them.

"Buy something and see for yourself." The boss said with a smile.

"Boss, I heard that your store sells money? How much is it?" Xiao Tieniu asked.

"Twelve thousand." The boss quoted the same price as the man said.

"A little yellow croaker, do you want to sell it? If so, trade it now." In order to save time, Tieniu directly gave the price.

"Okay. The house deeds are ready, and the transfer will take place in a moment." The boss didn't hesitate. The price was higher than what he expected.

"Okay, I'll go handle the transfer and write a sales and purchase agreement later." Xiao Tieniu said neatly.

After a while, the boss next door came back with the house deed. The two parties gathered together, and a group of four people went directly to handle the transfer. When the two parties met, they knew that both shops were sold to one person, so they didn't say anything more.

The transfer process was very fast. After the transfer was completed, each person took a small yellow croaker, handed over the key and turned around to leave. I was afraid that Xiao Tieniu would regret it.

During the whole process, Miaomiao didn't speak and watched quietly. She was a little puzzled that her little nephew had taken down two facades at once.

"Tieniu, why do you want to buy two stores, but not one?" Miao Miao finally got a chance and asked.

"Auntie, think about it. Nowadays, all other businesses are owned by the public. This is the only business that can be done by individuals. They can also open stores openly. We are not short of money now. This is the only business we can do. Besides, As the old saying goes, antiques come from golden times in troubled times. I think as the country develops in the future, antiques will become more and more valuable," Tieniu said.

"Well, your analysis is correct, but no one can predict what will happen in the future?" Miao Miao said again.

"Auntie, because everyone can't see clearly what will happen in the future, they are all hoarding gold now. The price is the highest. At this time, exchange gold for antiques. If you bet correctly, one antique in these two stores is worth two small yellow croakers. Are you right about the price of the child?" Xiao Tieniu expressed his inner thoughts.

"That's right, what are you going to do with these two stores?" Miaomiao still didn't understand the reason for buying two stores.

"Look at this street, except for the bookstore, it is very small. We have connected the two stores and turned them into one store. Then our store will be the largest in the antique street. If you want to receive good items, the store size is very large. Importantly, externally, it shows that we are strong. When receiving the goods, others will give us [-], and we will pay [-] or [-]. Everyone is willing to come to our house, so why worry about no business?" Tieniu said with a smile.

"How did your little head grow? Where did you come up with so many weird ideas?" Miaomiao couldn't help but nodded Little Tieniu's forehead.

"You forgot about Fatty Liu, Grandpa Liu, whom I told you about. He is a good person in business. There is nothing he can't do. Alas, it's a pity that he returned to his hometown in Fujian. It would be great if he was in the capital." Xiao Tieniu sighed, not seeing Grandpa Liu in the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

"Oh, why didn't you take a good look at their store and just negotiate the price? If there were no valuable old items in their store, wouldn't you be at a loss?" Miaomiao asked again.

"Auntie, I saw it. As soon as I walked in, I seemed to be negotiating the price with the other party. In fact, I saw all the items in their store, except for the ones upstairs." Xiao Tieniu said proudly with his chest puffed out.

"You can see clearly with just two glances?" Miao Miao didn't believe Xiao Tieniu's words, thinking that Xiao Tieniu was bragging.

"Auntie, you don't know, I have been looking at antiques at my master's house for several months. The things at his old man's place cover exquisite works from all dynasties, so I have trained my eyes to just glance at them. "Tieniu said.

"You are so powerful, can you teach me a little bit? I want to be an expert like you." Miao Miao said with a smile.

"Auntie, that's very tiring. I don't want my aunt to be burdened. From now on, all my money will be managed by my aunt. I want to make my aunt the happiest person." Xiao Tieniu's face became solemn.

"Little bad guy, I moved my aunt again, and my eyes are sore." Miao Miao said, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands.

"Auntie, you and your family are the closest people to me in this world. I want so much money just to make your life better. Believe me, in the future, I will buy you a car and a plane that can fly into the sky. , you can go wherever you want." Xiao Tieniu rested his head on his aunt's shoulder.

"Okay, remember what you said and give me all your money for safekeeping in the future." Miaomiao waved her little fist.

The two of them did not go back to Liulichang, but went home directly. Tieniu planned to clean up the things in the store tomorrow and renovate it to make it the best store in the antique street.

After returning home, before Miao Miao could wait for Tieniu to sit down, she announced that she had purchased two stores today, which shocked the whole family. However, when she thought about it, it was really like what Tieniu said.

In particular, Mr. Chu and Mr. Bai both admired Little Tieniu's vision very much and decided to go to the store the next day to have a look and help the little guy make some plans.

After eating, several people discussed how to help the little guy open a better store, but they were stopped by Miaomiao's words.

"Tieniu has decided that when our store receives goods, the price will be a little higher than other stores, and we will only sell genuine products." Miao Miao said next to him.

"Tieniu, do you really think so?" Mr. Bai asked.

"Well, Master, I don't want to lie. Also, now I want to stock more good goods and circulate as little general goods as possible, as long as it can maintain the survival of the store. I estimate that our country will develop better in the future, that is, For this reason, antiques will be the best circulating objects at that time." Tieniu described what he said to Miaomiao again.

"Okay, okay." Mr. Bai immediately understood the little guy's thoughts. Although the time with Little Tieniu was short, he understood how big the little guy's heart was.

After breakfast the next day, the whole family set off to Liulichang. Xiao Tieniu took out the key, opened the two gates, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, picked out the fakes and sorted the remaining ones according to age, completeness, and quality. Phase and value are classified.

The fake was given as a gift, marked with a handicraft label, and I found a ruler to measure the size of the room. I found the laborers who built the greenhouse last night, and took the useless things in the room back to use as firewood and smashed them open. The part in the middle of the two buildings serves as the passage between the two buildings.

The adults of the two families looked at the little guy's clear and logical command, so they didn't care. They all looked at the objects they liked.

Xiao Tieniu and the coolies learned that there were masters who knew how to make furniture and bricklayers among them, so they sent two people to find them and paid them the wages.

I have worked for Xiao Tieniu before, so everyone knows that this little boss has a good character, makes him happy when he works, and does things smoothly. It only took one day to finish all the things that needed to be done.

Just waiting for the next step of the craftsmen, Tieniu asked them to come over in the past few days. There were still many things to do. Everyone was very happy. It was also his blessing to be able to work for such a family.

The next day, Xiao Tieniu explained the sketch he drew last night to the carpenter in detail, negotiated the price, and discussed the changes that needed to be made to the bricklayer. He spent the entire morning arranging this matter. .

The laborers collected useless garbage in the front and back yards and sent it to the garbage station. A dozen or so people worked very quickly. They thought they had no life left and were about to leave. Little Tieniu stayed behind and rested in the yard.

These people didn't understand what Xiaodongjia meant, so they had no choice but to obey.

Tieniu stood in front of a dozen people, looked at them and asked, "Are there any bricks that are stronger than red bricks sold nearby?"

"Yes, it's the kind that makes steel and puts it into a steel furnace. It's much more expensive than red bricks. It's not far from here. I know where it is." A black-faced man said.

"Okay, you will come with me later, and the others will stay and dig a cellar for me in the house." Tieniu arranged.

"Boss, you can make arrangements." A group of people happily agreed loudly. For them, just having work to do and making money is the happiest thing.

Xiao Tieniu returned to the house and discussed with the bricklayer for a while, and then talked about building a storage room underground. He calculated the number of steel bricks and other materials, and several people went to purchase it.

If you want to buy these things now, some of them require a letter of introduction. Otherwise, those factories will not sell them to you. Xiao Tieniu has already thought about this matter. Wang Hai helped him get a few letters of introduction. This is just for repairing the house. It's not like doing anything illegal.

After working hard until dark, several people went home respectively. The factories that had paid the deposit confirmed that they would arrange delivery tomorrow.

Xiao Tieniu was a little tired. After returning home, he chatted with some old men for a while, then went back to his room and went to bed. He was really tired now.

It took more than half a month to decorate the two houses alone. During these more than half a month, Xiao Tieniu and Miaomiao were busy without touching the ground.

There are still five days left before the Chinese New Year. Mr. Chu and Grandma Chu have already gone back to Shanghai. Chu Xiongfei rushed back to Gusu alone. Zhu Yuhua refused to leave and decided to stay and take care of his little grandson to make everyone laugh. They kept going on and on, kissing each other, it was really good, even Miaomiao, the biological daughter, was jealous and even sour.

A part of the two houses is opened in the middle, and the load-bearing part is not damaged at all. This opening makes the overall environment more attractive and spacious.

The doors and windows have been enlarged and equipped with bright glass, and iron bars have been installed on the outside to prevent theft. In this way, guests passing by outside can clearly see the displays in the room. Long lamps have also been installed, making it almost After the installation of light tubes and power on, the room is so bright that it makes people feel comfortable.

Although there were lights or outside light coming into the room before, it made it even more pleasing to the eye compared to now.

Each rack is made of solid wood, thick and strong, and is coated with a light layer of varnish. The grain of the solid wood is clearly visible, adding to the simplicity and elegance of the store's furnishings.

The upstairs has been specially decorated. There is a room dedicated to Miaomiao. In it is a heavy safe that he just bought. The two previous ones have been moved by Xiao Tieniu to the storage room excavated underground. Niu would not dare to use other people's safes to store money.

A pure mahogany desk, several chairs, and a solid wood bed over one meter wide serve as a temporary resting place. According to Miaomiao's instructions, two bathrooms were built upstairs and downstairs. The bathrooms are all in the corner of the wall and are very well designed.

There are also antique shelves, several sofas and a tea set upstairs. The case is large and can be used as a place to appreciate antiques while enjoying tea.
