Chapter 698

Meng Yixian said this kind of thing, in fact, is not uncommon in life. For example, when a friend borrows money, he procrastinates when waiting to pay it back, or he becomes Lao Lai. In fact, the four present have met with it more or less. Because of the consideration of face, in general, people seldom take the initiative to ask for things borrowed by their friends.

Of course, there are more honest people in the world after all. For example, Chu Chen's friends usually pay back the things he borrowed in advance. They have never met the situation of not paying back the things he owed.

"How much is that pen holder worth?" Zhu Dafu asked.

Meng Yixian replied, "I haven't seen that pencil case either. My friend said it's probably worth four or five thousand."

"It's nice to see your friends here." Zhu Dafu said with a smile.

"Fart! He is poor and generous

Meng Yi first burst out a rude remark, said: "he is an ordinary retired worker, a month to take a thousand yuan of retirement wages, and his youngest son just got married, sometimes also need to help, four or five thousand yuan, in his family is already a large sum of money!"

Hearing this, Qiao Qingtai was surprised and said, "in that case, why doesn't he ask for the money back?"

"So I said he was poor and generous."

Then, Meng Yixian shook his head and sighed: "in fact, not everyone in my friend is so generous. It's just his relative, who helped him before and reduced his loss by more than 2000, so he has been embarrassed to ask his relatives for help."

Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "two thousand for four or five thousand, it's a good business. It seems that your friend's relatives do have problems with their character."

Meng Yixian said: "there must be a problem! I doubt what happened today. That guy might be involved in it. "

We all nodded in agreement. Judging from the current situation, this kind of thing is really possible.

"Ah

Zhu Dafu suddenly thought of something. He asked, "Xiao Meng, your friend should know that you are in the antique business, right?"

"I know! He knew it when I first started the antique business Meng Yixian returned.

"Since he knows, why don't you help him with shopping?"

It is not only Zhu Dafu, but also other people who find it strange.

Meng Yixian said with a smile: "we are two playmates who grew up together. Later, we fell in love with the same person, my wife."

Hearing this, everyone understood what was going on. Zhu Dafu laughed and said, "Xiao Meng, it seems that you have a high skill."

Meng Yixian shook his head and said with a smile: "what means are high! At that time, my friend's company was better than mine, but his shortcomings were too obvious. He was soft tempered and indecisive. By contrast, I would be better. "

"Well, because of this, we both broke up at first, and only a few years later did we get to know each other again. At that time, I had already gone to the sea to do antique business, and had made a little success. My friend, influenced by me, also stepped into this business. But he has no talent in the field of antiques, and because I don't want to give up, he has suffered losses many times during the period, and I helped to settle several times. "

Zhu Dafu said, "don't you advise him to stop playing?"

Meng Yixian said with a bitter smile: "how can I not persuade him? However, this guy has become a real antique lover from fighting with me. In his words, if he doesn't go to the antique market several times a week, he is itching all over. However, he never asked me for advice when he was shopping. I don't think he would have called me if he had nothing to do this time... "

While talking, the taxi came to the Confucius Temple, one of the three antique markets in Jinling.

Located on the Bank of the Qinhuai River, the Confucius Temple has been a prosperous area where people live and merchants gather since ancient times. It is also a place where ancient dignitaries, scholars, tycoons and rich gentry buy and sell antiques. Until the early 1980s, the antique market here began to flourish again. Now, it has also become a place frequented by Jinling antique lovers.

When we got off the bus, we hurried to the stall where the incident happened. Before we got there, we saw a few people watching. As for the few people watching, it was also because the stall was located in a remote place. In addition, it was Monday today, so there were fewer pedestrians.

At this time, there was a man in his fifties waiting anxiously in front of the booth. He looked at them from time to time. When he saw that chuchen and his party were coming, he immediately showed a look of surprise. He took a long breath and relaxed his nervous expression.

When they came to the stall, they saw the broken porcelain on the ground. Meng Yi first looked at the stall owner and found that he didn't know him. He asked his friend, "Lao Ji, what's the matter?"

Meng Yixian's friend is Ji Haoliang. He said with a bitter smile, "I didn't mean to do this. At that time, wan you said that this bowl was good, so I was ready to have a look. Unexpectedly, just after I picked it up, a 15-year-old boy suddenly came out and hit me, and the bowl fell."

It's said that this is the case. Chu Chen and others don't understand that Ji Haoliang has been "touched". And as they thought before, the 30-year-old relative who is standing next to Ji Haoliang, who is somewhat evil looking, is probably also involved.Meng Yixian took a deep look at Ji Wanyou standing next to Ji Haoliang, and then asked, "where's the man who hit you?"

"At that time, I lost my mind. I didn't know where the man came and went!" Ji Haoliang said with a bitter smile.

Meng Yixian took another look at Ji Wanyou. He didn't need to ask, but he knew that the other party must have the same answer. Then, without looking at the things on the ground, he asked the stall owner, "boss, how do you want to solve this problem?"

The owner of the stall said with a smile, "if you drop my things, you have to lose money."

"You mean 150000?" Meng Yi first said with a smile rather than a smile.

The stall owner smiles and says nothing. He can still see the current situation. Before, he heard that Ji Haoliang was just an ordinary retired worker, and he didn't know any experts in the field of antiques, so he thought of "touching porcelain" on Ji Haoliang.

But the reality is completely opposite to what he heard. From the temperament, words and deeds of these old men, they may also be in the field of antiques. Moreover, these people are well dressed. Such characters have some backgrounds.

Since the stall owner does this kind of thing, he can't be lengtouqing, not only lengtouqing. He has strong observation ability and knows when to make what kind of choice. Therefore, it's definitely impossible for him to ask Ji Haoliang for so much money now.

Besides, the 150000 is just a talk. If he really pays for it, he really doesn't believe that Ji Haoliang will give him 150000.

However, it's not easy to do this step now. We can't let the cooked duck fly. He has to gain something.

Seeing that the stall owner was still unwilling, Meng Yi first said, "as the saying goes, there are also thieves. If you come out to mix, you have to pay back sooner or later. Sometimes, you should not go too far!"

In fact, Meng Yi can say more ruthlessly, but he is too aggressive, which is not good for Ji Haoliang. What's more, he wants Ji Haoliang to suffer from this loss, so he has a long memory.

"That's good!" The stall owner saw that Meng Yixian had said this, and he wanted to kill him again. Maybe he had bad luck, so he gritted his teeth and said, "for the sake of this old man, this bowl is 300, but I also have a request. Each of you should choose another thing from me."

In fact, the reason why he said this was that he wanted to pay more first. But if he said it directly, he thought it would easily arouse the disgust of Meng Yixian and others. It would be better to replace it with something. And he didn't really believe that the other party could choose things here.

Ji Haoliang saw the stall owner say so, and wanted to say that he would pay more money. But before he spoke, Meng Yi waved his hand and said, "boss, we can buy your things, but what about the price?"

The stall owner didn't expect that Meng Yixian didn't follow his script, so he scolded in his heart, and then said:

"fair trade!"

"Good! Is he going to buy it, too? " With that, Meng Yi pointed to Ji Wanyou next to him.

"Yes, he will choose too!" As the information provider this time, the stall owner hates Ji Wanyou so much that he can't let it go!

Ji Wanyou smiles awkwardly. At this time, he is also extremely depressed. If it's someone else, he may be able to walk away. But for a character like Meng Yixian, unless he doesn't want to mix in the Jinling antique world, he really dares not do that.

If he had known that Ji Haoliang had a friend like Meng Yixian, he would not have made such an idea today.

"Why don't you tell me about this old man who has friends like Meng Yixian? What's more, since you all know Meng Yixian, why do you often come to me for identification? I really don't know about it! "

Don't mention Ji Wanyou murmuring to himself. After talking with the stall owner, everyone squatted down and picked up things.

The stalls are full of small things, and almost all of them are shoddy goods. In terms of value, the highest one here is less than 50 yuan. That's why Meng Yi agreed to the stall owner's request first. At that time, it would be more cost-effective for Ji Haoliang to pay for the loss of others when the things are bought.

In fact, the difference between the two is not much, but in the face of this kind of "touch porcelain" character, Meng Yixian did not want this person to take advantage of it.

Although the stalls are almost fake goods, not all of them are fakes. For example, the ancient books in front of Chu Chen's eyes should be genuine, but even if they are genuine, Chu Chen has a look, and most of them are collected works printed in the late Qing Dynasty, which are not worth a few dollars.
