Of course, Xu Er would not know Zhao Shun's question.

In fact, many people have this question, most of them are Chen Zhibei's comrades-in-arms.

One is an old man who graduated from junior high school, the other is an intellectual who is studying for a master's degree, and it is said that he will move to a doctorate next year; the other is a vampire who specializes in how to make money and has disturbed the futures markets of various countries; the other is a lover of antiques, and likes to study history and ancient times Language collectors.

The two sit together and chat, don't they know how to talk to each other?

Xu Wei didn't know other people's guesses about himself and Chen Zhibei, but happily held the purple clay pot, planning in his mind whether to try Longjing or Tieguanyin first after returning home, or to try Chen Zhibei's own making first. herbal tea?

It was just after two o'clock in the afternoon when Xu You returned to Shanghai. At this time, it was the busiest time in Antique Street.

So Xu Wei rushed inside with the things he bought in his hands. He wanted to go to Mr. Zhang to see how his little beetle was doing.

As a result, when I got out of the car, I was startled at the entrance of the antique street.

Dozens of people who looked like students were standing there, holding leaflets and holding large banners. Although there was no road blocking, everyone who came and went could see them at first sight.

Is this a donation, or is a festival about to start?

Xu Wei stepped forward with doubts, only to see the contents of the removal, the banners and leaflets were printed with some protected animals, such as tigers and elephants.

There is a shed under the banner, and there is a female student in it, who is speaking impassionedly about some people's crimes of illegally hunting wild animals for profit.

It has to be said that this female student's speech was very informative, at least for Xu Wei, it was very knowledgeable.

The illegal wildlife trade is now the third largest illegal trade in the world, behind only the arms trade and drug trade.

I don't know which of the three major illegal trades is more harmful to the human world. After all, the damage of the drug and arms trade is obvious to all, and if wild animals are extinct, the composition of the entire world's biological chain will also be irreversible. s damage.

Most people just watched the excitement, but it also violated the interests of some people.

For example, in Dongtai Road, there is a shop that specializes in selling animal bones and animal skin products. It used to have business almost every day, but today, there is no one.

The owner of that store is a yamen, and he has been holding his breath all day, but because there are reporters next to him, he didn't dare to go up and smash the stalls of these students.

There was no way, so the boss sent his shop assistants to set up a stall opposite the student team, selling items in the shop at a [-]% discount, and simply fought the other party.

That guy was also interesting, he sold things confidently, not to mention, he even produced a certificate of the source of the goods, proving that the things in his house definitely came from legal channels, and they were all normal businesses approved by the state.

Not to mention, there are really people who are greedy for petty gains and are not afraid of big things. They came here to buy a few items that they had been looking forward to but have never bought. The most popular ones are all kinds of ivory products in their store.

"Take a look, take a look, serious old craft ivory ornaments, all kinds of ivory carvings, today's big discount in the store, all [-]% off, not one piece left. Dear grandparents, big brothers and big sisters, don't miss it when you pass by , are all serious objects with certificates."

That guy was also from a training stall, and he yelled in a set manner, attracting many people over.

And the student corps on the opposite side was not to be outdone. Photos of poaching and logging were pasted on milky white cardboard, and such horrific data was printed on the leaflets. The announcer had a beautiful appearance and a sweet voice, and his words were sincere. Talk about the suffering of wild animals.

Xu Wei stood at the door in a bit of embarrassment. He wondered if these students knew that there was an ivory plug-in screen in his car, would they run to his school to punish his accomplices.

Because of the rings on both sides, the business on Dongtai Road has become very prosperous today. Many people who have never been here before, because of the excitement on both sides, ran around Dongtai Road. More or less, have bought a 'heirloom' or something like that.

The peddlers on Xide Street were all smiling, and when Xu You came to look at things at his stall, he would not offer a hard price like before.

Although Xu You didn't buy anything, she was quite happy in her heart.

When Xu Wei entered, the shop assistants were all busy. At first they thought they were all tourists who came in to take a look, but unexpectedly, there were really two wealthy people who fell in love with something and insisted on buying it.

Such 'blind bears' and 'sheep herders' naturally have to be caught tightly and slaughtered severely.Therefore, even when he saw Xu Wei coming in, he didn't take the time to say hello.

Xu You didn't mind either, after all, he was not an outsider, so he went upstairs calmly.

In the reception room of Mr. Zhang on the second floor, there were two people sitting in front of Mr. Zhang. One of them was the boss who had previously fought with students on the street.

The other person, Xu Wei, has never met before, but at a glance, he can tell that he is a rich master, with a small gray halo all over his body. Xu Wei knows that the other party is a "bear blind man" who is of no standard and is often fooled. .

The so-called 'Xiong Blind', in the antique world, refers to the kind of big boss who is blind and does not know anything, but is very powerful.

Although this kind of person doesn't know how to read it by himself, he still hires an appraiser, or a 'palm eye', and spends more money to buy a real thing.

And 'Sheepman' is the kind of big local tyrant who obviously has no eyesight, but still thinks he is right. Once he enters the antique street, he will be slaughtered for a fortune, and he can't buy any real things.

Since there were people inside who I didn't know yet, Xu You felt that he should leave for a while. Maybe Mr. Zhang was discussing business, so he couldn't go in and make trouble. According to the rules, when discussing business, no one else is allowed to be present.

"Xiaoer, you're here, just come over and have a chat with us." Seeing that Xu Er was about to leave, Mr. Zhang hurriedly called over.

When Xu You heard that he was chatting, he stopped in his tracks, opened the door and went inside, first greeted Mr. Zhang, and then said hello to the Shi Ya Nei.

Afterwards, Shi Ya Nei introduced to Xu Wei the person sitting next to him, Bu Tiancheng, a big businessman from Wenzhou, specializing in the import and export of clothing, footwear and socks.

When the Shi Ya Nei introduced Xu Er, he only said that Xu Er was Mr. Zhang's younger generation, and that he was a new generation appraiser with the famous "good eyes" on Dongtai Road, but Bu Tiancheng didn't pay attention.

From Bu Tiancheng's point of view, Xu You should be just a junior who takes advantage of his elders' prestige to check things up here, and it doesn't deserve his attention.

Even so, Bu Tiancheng was very sincere and gave Xu You a business card with his name, phone number and company name printed on it.

Xu Wei knew that this was an ordinary business card. Even if the phone number on it got through, it would only be answered by the secretary or assistant, and there was no way to find him.

But Xu You had already given the other party his business card, with his name and phone number printed on it, and nothing else.

The other party gave a business card, so I have to give it.

Although he was a little unhappy, Xu You let it go immediately, but he was just a stranger who met once, so there was no need to keep it in mind.

"Mr. Zhang, please judge me. I am provoking someone. I opened a store to sell some things. All of them came from formal channels. The result is good. These students don't care whether they are formal or not. It is simply a catch.

All the customers who want to enter my store are pulled over by them for a good publicity, and they almost say that I am a heartless, unscrupulous profiteer without conscience. "

Speaking of this, Shi Ya Nei became more and more aggrieved, "You said that I run a good business, neither bullying others nor forcing my good into prostitution, this Mandu is more or less in the same business as me, but who like me makes money with kindness.

If others meet, can they be as good as them? "

The others mentioned in the Shiya Nei are all second and third generations like him.

In fact, thinking about it, Shi Ya Nei is indeed very unlucky. It is also the second or third generation. Others do business to promote economic and social development. It is his turn to encounter such a thing.

"Little master, to say that your business is really a bit disrespectful, and you really should start a serious business."

It seems that Mr. Zhang is not optimistic about the business in the Shiya Nei, so he bluntly persuades him.

"Ouch, old man, you put it lightly, but what kind of business do I do? I want to open a serious antique shop and sell everything, but I have bad eyesight. This big shopkeeper with good eyesight can't just say it clearly." Please come."

In fact, Shi Ya Nei also wants to start a serious business. After all, the bones and fur of wild animals are sold too much, which is indeed harmful to morality. Shi Ya Nei's family believes in Buddhism, and he himself often goes to Wangyuan Temple to offer incense and listen to lectures or something.

The most important thing is that Shi Ya Nei is [-] years old this year. He has been married for five or six years and has no children until now. He went to the hospital for checkups seven or eight times, and there is no problem with his breath.

No problem, the couple wanted a child, but the child never came, and it didn't make sense medically or scientifically, so the two naturally turned their attention to more mysterious directions.

"Or, you open a shopping mall here. I remember that there are relatives in your family who run a shopping mall. You just need to learn."

Xu You is also familiar with Shi Ya Nei, so this time the chat was opened, otherwise Xu You would not interrupt.

"Brother Xu, you also know that although I have no talent, I just like the atmosphere here on Dongtai Road. I stay here, and I feel like I am doing antiques."

In fact, Shi Ya Nei can indeed rely on his family relationship to succeed in whatever he wants to do, but Shi Ya Nei still has a lot of pursuit in his heart. Being a member of the antique industry has always been Shi Ya Nei's wish, but unfortunately his talent is mediocre , without the guidance of a famous teacher, so he has been dangling with half a bottle of dissatisfaction.

"You can open it on Dongtai Road. I know that there is a piece of land on Qianjie Street that has been taken back by the government and is about to be auctioned." To be precise, it wasn't Xu Er who knew it, but Chen Zhibei.

Originally, Chen Zhibei told him the news because he thought Xu Er would want to open a shop to do some antique business, but Xu Er was not interested.

"Open a shopping mall on Dongtai Road?" The Shiya always thought that Xu Wei would not do business because he had never been in contact with him before. Unexpectedly, he had no common sense at all.

"That's right, you open an antique shopping mall, just like the antique shopping mall over there in the ancient city. If the antique shopping mall can't be opened, it would be good to open an antique shopping mall."

These burden shops in Shanghai are especially difficult every winter. Some people have a good relationship with the shopkeepers and can build a roof. It doesn’t matter if they want to open a stall, they are simply suffering.

In the other three seasons, there are often cloudy and rainy days, and it is impossible to do business at all.

If there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, many people will be willing to pay some money to go in.

"Here, brother Xiao Xu, your idea is really good. I'll go and inquire about that piece of land later." Shi Ya Nei slapped his thigh, with excitement and excitement in his tone.

"The filming of that land should start next month. I don't know the specifics. I just heard about it." Seeing that the other party accepted his suggestion, Xu Wei was very happy.

"I said Brother Xu, when you are free, please contact me. I would like to treat Brother Chen to a meal. Do you think so?" North relations.

He is a big crocodile in real estate, so Chen Zhibei must have said the news. If he wanted to use his news, he naturally had to say hello to Chen Zhibei.

"Okay, this week and the weekend, he should be free at that time." Xu Wei didn't ask, anyway, even if he asked, he didn't understand, but it's certain that Chen Zhibei won't be free this week, so Xu Wei simply helped I agreed.

"Actually, selling my ivory and animal skins is not very interesting. If it weren't for the fact that I have nothing to do, I wouldn't be in this business."

Seeing that Xu You agreed, the Shi Ya Nei was very happy, so he changed the topic back.

"That thing has been a commodity since a long time ago, and it has been recorded in ancient Chinese literature, such as "The Book of Songs Lu Song Panshui": "Yuan Gui elephant teeth, big bribes of Nanjin." "Zuo Zhuan" said: "Elephants have Teeth, to burn the body, bribe also.'

In the Zhou Dynasty, there was an ivory carving industry. "Zhou Li Dazai" records that the handicraft industry in the Zhou Dynasty was called "eight materials", and ivory was one of the eight materials.According to the regulations of the Zhou Dynasty, only the princes could hold the elephant wat. In the Tang Dynasty, officials of the fifth rank and below could hold the ivory wat. "

When Mr. Zhang talked about some allusions, he just opened his mouth, "But in modern times, it is really not advisable for this person to hunt and kill wild animals such as elephants, rhinos, and tigers for money and for his own enjoyment."

"Actually, nowadays, many people are afraid to buy poached and illegally logged things. Just like in our store, every customer will ask if he has a certificate before buying something. If he doesn't have a certificate, he will turn around and leave." Those who are in this industry at the revolving door are also very clear about the market.

"Some people say that as long as no one sells, no one will buy it, but some people say that as long as no one buys it, no one will sell it." Shi Ya Nei was a little resentful when he said this, "It's all bullshit. It’s not that human beings have discovered that this thing can have such a use, there will be no such things at all, and now, they have begun to protect it again, what did they do long ago?”

"If you want me to say, no matter what, don't buy or sell, that's the best protection."

The few people discussed this matter all afternoon. During this period, Xu You wanted to talk about the fact that he bought a pair of ivory screens many times, but he swallowed the words again.

Forget it, put the pair of things at home, let's use them as decorations, since they don't take up much space anyway.
