Zhang Ran gave him the money and food stamps, then put the books and blue and white porcelain into the gunny sack on the tricycle and left quickly.
If he stayed any longer, he would be embarrassed by the grateful gazes of the middle-aged family of four.
Zhang Ran returned home satisfied in the afternoon.
He took the sack from the car and spread it out in the living room to count his gains.
Today was the first day of business, and it could be said that the harvest was quite good. It could be described as winning.
In the morning, he found a blue and white porcelain vase from the Yuan Dynasty and a few dozen kilograms of ancient books. In the afternoon, he made a deal with the two of them.
He bought a Qi Baishi painting and a jade bracelet worn by Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang from a former Qing Dynasty old man with five catties of meat and two hundred yuan.
That old man from the previous Qing Dynasty had no children. When he chatted with Zhang Ran, he boasted that his ancestor was a descendant of the Gong Prince. In any case, he was a profligate son.
Now that he was old and had squandered most of his family property, he had buried a few rare antiques in the backyard in advance during his previous sports. Later on, he had been relying on secretly selling these things to make a living.
Zhang Ran estimated that after selling all these things, this old man would probably sell the house.
He lived alone in a huge courtyard house with three entrances. It was estimated to be 500 to 600 square meters.
Zhang Ran planned to get in touch with this old man first and then wait for an opportunity to buy this courtyard house.
Because of this plan, Zhang Ran was very generous when he received the old man's gifts in the afternoon. He added 20% more on the basis of the old man's asking price, which made the old man so happy that he kept telling Zhang Ran to come back in a few days.
This was what it meant to buy a horse bone with a thousand gold coins.
Moreover, even if he increased the price by 20%, compared to the value of these two things in the future, he was still offering the price of cabbage.
Moreover, he was still thinking about the three-in-one courtyard house. Any one of these things would cost hundreds of millions in a few decades.
Zhang Ran tidied up the storeroom on the east side, planning to store the things he bought back in the future.
Just as he was packing up, Yuan Jun came again.
"Zhang Ran, you're finally home. I've already come over twice today. I came to lock the door once and locked the door again. Your door is really harder to enter than the Great Hall!”After Yuan Jun entered, he sat down on the sofa and complained.
"You sound like you've been to the Great Hall!" Zhang Ran scolded. I've been collecting junk outside all day today. I just came back and haven't had a sip of water!”
"Are you really going to do it?" "That's embarrassing and boring. It's not as comfortable as ice-skating!" Yuan Jun said in surprise. I was just thinking, I saw a broken three-wheeled motorcycle in your yard!”
Zhang Ran smiled." I feel the exact opposite of you. How can ice-skating be more comfortable than collecting junk?!"”
That was true. As long as he kept the items he had collected in the morning for decades, he could sell them for at least a few hundred million or even a billion.
Earning a billion in a day, even Ma Ma and Ma Ma in the future couldn't make money so quickly!
As the saying goes, the only way to relieve worries is to become rich! In fact, the feeling of satisfaction and earning money were sometimes proportional, because it was too f * cking fulfilling.
Yuan Jun shook his head to show that he didn't understand. He thought to himself that this brother's thinking was really strange.
"Speaking of which, did he receive anything on his first day of business?”
Zhang Ran opened the door of the storeroom that had been tidied up and brought Yuan Jun in. He introduced with a sense of accomplishment,"They're all here!"
Yuan Jun saw the pile of yellowed old books that was almost as tall as a person at a glance. He said speechlessly,"These lousy books! Oh my god, Zhang Ran, what's the use of collecting these? It was too hard to wipe his butt, and there was too much smoke from the stove. What a pile of waste!”
"If you think these books are worthless, that's because you're ignorant!”"These are all ancient classics. They are the essence of China's 5,000-year-old culture!" Zhang Ran said disdainfully.”
"The essence of my ass, the dregs left behind by a stinking scholar! These three items were also collected today? So you also collect antiques? You should have said so earlier. My old man seems to have collected a few pieces in the past. I'll steal them out some other day.”
When Zhang Ran heard Yuan Jun's words, he also remembered something. In the original plot, Yuan Jun and Zheng Tong had sneaked into his house that had been seized and stolen an antique vase from his father. In the end, it was taken away by someone for 200 yuan.
"It's valuable! This thing you touched cost me a hundred dollars!”
"So valuable?" Yuan Jun was shocked. He had never understood the value of these broken bottles and jars. Then, he said happily,"Then I'll go home tomorrow and steal it. When the time comes, you can just give me a few dozen yuan. I'll take the money to buy ice cream.”
Zhang Ran laughed." You're really a glutton. Other than Old Mo's beef, all you can think about is the ice cream in the store. You're like a hungry ghost in your previous life!"”
Yuan Jun muttered," What previous life? If I don't eat something good, I'll be a hungry ghost for the rest of my life!"”
"By the way, why are you looking for me?"
Yuan Jun patted his head and said excitedly,""We're all going ice-skating at Shichahai tomorrow, let's go together!”
