On this day, Huo Jilin's antique shop just opened and welcomed two special guests - Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan.
Hu Bayi wore a leather jacket and a peaked cap, with deep and sharp eyes; Wang Kaixuan was sturdy and had a generous smile on his face.
Hu Bayi said as soon as he entered the door: "Boss, I heard that you had a disaster some time ago. Let's see if we can help."
Huo Jilin hurriedly went to meet him and said gratefully: "It's great that you two can come. Many antiques in my shop have been damaged, and I don't know how much they are worth."
Wang Kaixuan waved his hand and said: "Old Huo, don't worry, with us two brothers here, we can definitely figure it out for you."
The three came to the shelf where antiques were placed, and Hu Bayi picked up a blue and white porcelain vase and looked at it carefully.
"This blue and white porcelain vase, judging from the glaze color and texture, should be an object from the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, it was burned by fire and its value has been reduced." Hu Bayi said.
Huo Jilin frowned and asked, "How much can it be worth?"
Wang Kaixuan came over to take a look and said, "I think it should be at least this amount." He stretched out a few fingers.
Hu Bayi shook his head and said, "Old Wang, don't make a blind estimate. Although this bottle is damaged, it has a good foundation. I think it is worth this amount." He quoted a higher price.
Wang Kaixuan said unconvinced, "Old Hu, you always raise the price."
Huo Jilin hurriedly said, "Don't argue, as long as we can get a similar price, I will be satisfied."
Then, they looked at another piece of ancient jade.
Hu Bayi took a magnifying glass and looked at it for a long time. He said, "This ancient jade has a warm texture and fine carving. It should be something from the Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, it has some cracks, so the price has to be discounted."
Wang Kaixuan echoed on the side: "Yes, yes, but it is still worth a lot of money."
Huo Jilin sighed and said, "Alas, this is all because of the fire."
Just then, a wealthy businessman in a suit walked into the store.
The wealthy businessman said, "Boss, I heard that you have a lot of good things here. Let me take a look."
Huo Jilin introduced, "Sir, these two are experts and are helping me identify them."
The wealthy businessman looked at Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan and said, "Oh? That's great, I want to listen too."
Hu Bayi picked up a copper incense burner and said, "This copper incense burner is from the Qing Dynasty. The craftsmanship is good and it is well preserved."
The wealthy businessman asked with interest, "How much is it worth?"
Wang Kaixuan rushed to say, "This one, at least this amount." He quoted another price.
The rich businessman shook his head and said, "It's too expensive, please make it cheaper."
Wang Kaixuan said, "These are all real prices, they can't be any lower."
Hu Bayi said, "Sir, this thing is really worth the price. If you really want it, you can give it a little discount."
After some bargaining, they finally reached a price that both parties could accept.
After the rich businessman left with satisfaction, Huo Jilin said to Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, "Thanks to you two, we made a good deal today."
Hu Bayi said, "Old Huo, don't be polite. If you need any help in the future, just ask."
Wang Kaixuan also said, "That's right, we are all friends."
In the next few days, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan came to the store every day to help, and the business of the store gradually improved.
One day, Wang Kaixuan said to Huo Jilin mysteriously: "Old Huo, I heard a piece of news that there is an auction, and there may be good things we need."
Huo Jilin's eyes lit up and said: "Really? Then let's go and have a look."
Hu Bayi said: "You can go, but be careful not to be cheated."
The three came to the auction site, which was crowded with people.
A beautiful calligraphy and painting work was displayed, and Hu Bayi whispered: "This painting is authentic and worth bidding."
Wang Kaixuan immediately raised his sign to bid.
After several rounds of fierce competition, the painting was finally bought.
Huo Jilin said happily: "Great, with this painting, our store can add another treasure."
With the help of Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, Huo Jilin's antique shop gradually regained its former prosperity.
One night, the three gathered together for a drink.
Huo Jilin raised his glass and said, "You two, I owe my present to you. I toast you with this glass of wine."
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan also raised their glasses and said, "We are all friends. There is still a long way to go!"
Laughter and joy echoed in the antique shop, and their friendship became deeper.
Days passed, and with the help of Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, Huo Jilin's antique shop became more and more prosperous. On this day, an unexpected guest came to the store.
A well-dressed, shrewd middle-aged man walked into the store., looking around. Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were also in the store at the time, discussing with Huo Jilin the appraisal of a new batch of antiques.
The middle-aged man said, "Boss, I heard that your store has received a lot of good things recently."
Huo Jilin smiled and responded, "Thank you for the compliment, sir. I wonder which one you like?"
The middle-aged man walked to a sandalwood box, opened it and looked at the jade pendant inside, and said, "This jade pendant is good, name a price."
Huo Jilin said, "Sir, this jade pendant is a rare treasure, and the price is not low."
The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Tell me a number."
Just as Huo Jilin was about to quote, Hu Bayi came over to look at the jade pendant, and whispered to Huo Jilin, "Old Huo, this jade pendant has a trick up its sleeve , don't bid easily. "
Wang Kaixuan also said: "That's right, we have to be careful and don't be fooled by this man."
The middle-aged man's face darkened: "What? You don't trust me?"
Hu Bayi said calmly: "Sir, it's not that I don't trust you, but this antique business requires the authenticity of the goods."
The middle-aged man sneered: "Humph, then how much do you think this jade pendant is worth?"
Hu Bayi looked at it carefully and said: "In my opinion, although this jade pendant has good texture, it has several minor flaws, and the price should be around this number." He quoted a relatively reasonable price.
The middle-aged man widened his eyes: "Your price is too low, no, no."
Wang Kaixuan said: "Sir, we are all experts, this price is already very fair."
After a round of bargaining, the middle-aged man finally didn't buy it and left angrily.
Huo Jilin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thanks to you two, otherwise I might have been cheated by him."
Hu Bayi said, "Old Huo, you should be more careful when you meet such people in the future."
Wang Kaixuan patted Huo Jilin on the shoulder and said, "That's right, we can't let those people with bad intentions take advantage of us."
A few days later, Huo Jilin received an invitation to an antique appreciation party.
Huo Jilin said to Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, "You two, I received an invitation to a party, please accompany me."
Hu Bayi readily agreed, "Okay, let's go and have a look."
Wang Kaixuan also said, "Then let's go together to broaden our horizons."
At the party, Huo Jilin met many celebrities in the antique world. Among them, an old man showed great interest in an antique ornament in Huo Jilin's store.
