Pigeon City was actually a black market.
In this era of a planned economy, the country did not allow anyone to engage in private transactions.
Once they were discovered, they would immediately be treated as speculators.
Speculation was a serious crime in this era. It was possible to be sentenced to death.
However, the commoners had many needs in life!
If there was demand, there would be a market!
Therefore, places like Pigeon City were born to allow people in need to exchange for all kinds of things.
When Zhang Weiguo was in the countryside, he had long heard of Pigeon City.
Because of its uniqueness, Pigeon Market was in a state of flux and was not a proper market.
It was possible that there were many people selling in an inconspicuous alley. Even on the street, laymen might not be able to tell.
However, the local people were very clear.
Zhang Weiguo asked the deaf old lady. She was the only person he could trust in the courtyard.
The old lady smiled knowingly and told him how to find it without asking anything else.
Although she was old, she knew very well in her heart: It would be bad for Zhang Weiguo if he asked too much.
Zhang Weiguo smiled and left her a bottle of milk."Grandma, drink it first. I'll get it for you later!”
"Okay, okay, okay. You have to be careful too. That place is not safe. You have to keep your eyes open!”Old Mrs. Han reminded him softly.
Zhang Weiguo nodded and immediately followed the old lady's instructions to find Pigeon City.
It didn't take long for him to find Pigeon City.
This was a seemingly deserted alley, and its location was also very remote.
However, it was precisely because of this that Pigeon City was able to conduct transactions safely.
Zhang Weiguo rode his bicycle into the depths of the alley, looking around at the rows of shops with all kinds of signboards.
However, the shops were all doing serious business, and outsiders could not see the way.
So Zhang Weiguo found a shop and went straight to the counter.""Do you take back tickets here?"
Anyway, this was Pigeon City. The people here must be in this industry.
Behind the counter, the boss was holding a purple clay teapot in his hand. The spout of the teapot was facing the mouth as he sipped his tea.
He glanced at Zhang Weiguo from the corner of his eye. He looked so young and dressed so uncouth.
In her heart, she treated him as an ordinary thief.
He had seen such people before. They had all stolen something and wanted to exchange it for money to live a carefree life.
"Yes, how many votes do you have?" he asked casually.”
Zhang Weiguo didn't care about his expression. He took out a thick stack of food and meat stamps from his pocket.
Puff!
When the boss saw so many tickets, he spat out all the tea in his mouth.
He jumped up in shock and looked outside. Then, he sized up Zhang Weiguo again.
"What, you don't want to accept it?" "Why didn't you say so earlier?" Zhang Weiguo frowned.”
The boss instantly became much more polite."Big, big brother, may I ask, which sect are you from? This, so many votes, you, wouldn't kill someone, right?”
This time, it was Zhang Weiguo's turn to vomit blood.
So this boss thought that he was a thief who killed and robbed people!
However, it made sense. No matter how powerful an ordinary thief was, it was impossible for them to steal so many tickets.
Even if it was Manager Yang's family, it was impossible to have so much in two to three months.
Zhang Weiguo didn't want to explain further when he saw how cautious the boss was.
It was good that he was treated as a thief, and the price could be raised.
"Why do you talk so much nonsense?" Zhang Weiguo snorted coldly. Accept or not? If you waste my time again, I'll burn down your shop!”
The boss was shocked and became more and more certain that this guy was a ruthless character.
In this day and age, there were many ruthless people who did not care about their lives.
He was a small businessman and did not want to offend such a person.
The boss quickly smiled and bowed. Have a seat and drink some tea. I'll do the calculations. I definitely can't let you suffer a loss!"
Zhang Weiguo nodded and found a place to sit down. The boss immediately made tea for him.
The boss smiled and said,"This is a good tea." I wouldn't be willing to take it out even if it was someone else. Big brother, let's consider it as handing it over to a friend today!”
Zhang Weiguo looked at the teacup and his eyes lit up.
He had absorbed the vital qi in the mystic realm and his entire person had received a huge improvement.
He could tell at a glance that this exquisite teacup was actually an antique.
However, he needed to change his ticket as soon as possible.
It was best to stay in such a place as little as possible.
"Stop wasting time and quickly change your tickets!" Zhang Weiguo said.
The boss nodded his head vigorously.”
He didn't dare to be negligent and quickly gave a price.
Zhang Weiguo roughly estimated that these tickets could be sold for at least 5,000 yuan!
In this era, five thousand yuan was a huge sum of money.
Ordinary people did not even dare to think about it. Even if they worked hard for their entire lives, they would not be able to earn so much money!
Even in the new era, it took a long time before the saying of ten thousand yuan households appeared.
And now, he had easily become the richest man of this era!
The boss took all the tickets and began to count them in front of him.
Soon, he looked at Zhang Weiguo with a smile."Brother, I'll give you 5,500 yuan for these tickets. How about it?”
Zhang Weiguo was delighted, but he nodded calmly on the surface."Sure, give me the money now.”
"Please wait a moment! I have to borrow so much money!”The boss nodded at him and walked out.
Zhang Weiguo was worried about him, so he immediately stood up and went to the door to monitor him.
He only felt relieved when he saw that the boss had gone to a few shops and was indeed borrowing money.
Soon, he ran back and respectfully handed a red cloth bag to Zhang Weiguo.
"Big brother, please count." The boss had a fawning smile on his face. While Zhang Weiguo was counting the money, he eagerly refilled his tea.
Zhang Weiguo only used his eyes to roughly scan it twice, and he immediately knew the number of banknotes in his mind.
However, he still pretended to count in front of the boss.
"Not bad, the number is not bad." Zhang Weiguo packed the cloth into his bag.
The boss took the opportunity to smile and said,"If you have any good things in the future, feel free to come and find me. I guarantee that you will be satisfied with the price!"”
Zhang Weiguo nodded and fixed his gaze on the teacup.
"This is an antique, isn't it?”
"You really have good eyesight!" The boss gave him a thumbs up." This is an old item from the Ming Dynasty. If you hadn't come today, I wouldn't have taken this out to use."”
He suddenly lowered his voice and whispered into Zhang Weiguo's ear,""In addition to the receipt, I have a lot of good things here. I wonder if you're interested?”
"What are they?" Zhang Weiguo raised his eyebrows.”
The boss knew that his business had come. He rubbed his hands excitedly and hurriedly introduced,"Other than small yellow croakers, there are also many antiques and treasures worth collecting. If you're interested, I'll take it out for you to look at now. These things are no longer available on the market. Only I have them!”
Zhang Weiguo smiled.
He knew that the small yellow croaker referred to the gold bars.
At present, society was breaking down the four old things. It was already good enough that antiques were not smashed or burned. They were not valuable at all and would be in trouble if they were held.
However, in the new era, antiques were more precious than gold.
Even though he had so much money in his hands now, he could not spend it all.
Moreover, if he held it in his hands, when the new era arrived, it would depreciate day by day.
It was better to take advantage of the moment to exchange for more valuable things in his hands.
"Alright, let's see!" Zhang Weiguo nodded.
The boss was excited. He immediately closed the door and took out a few antiques.
He opened a wooden box in front of Zhang Weiguo, and inside it were all gold bars.
Zhang Weiguo only glanced at the gold bars for a moment before shifting his gaze to the antiques.
Among these antiques, there were vases, jade pendants, calligraphy and paintings…
Even the wooden box that contained the gold bars was an exquisite antique.
Zhang Weiguo's eyes lit up when he saw these treasures.
He pointed at everything in front of him without batting an eyelid."I want all of these! How much do you need?"
The boss was so excited that his face turned red. He had been in business for so many years, but he had never seen such a generous big shot like Zhang Weiguo.
He did not dare to delay and began to calculate the price in front of Zhang Weiguo.
Due to the limitations of this era, all these antiques added together could not compare to the price of that box of gold bars.
"If you want to buy all of them, I'll give you a round number." Five thousand!"
Zhang Weiguo was very satisfied with the price, but he still glared at the boss."Are you kidding me? With this lousy thing of yours, it's better to burn it in your hands. You actually dare to ask me for 5,000?"
The boss was so scared that he almost peed his pants.”
Zhang Weiguo extended three fingers. If you want to sell it, then sell it. If you don't want to sell it, then forget it!"
The boss was on the verge of tears.
Zhang Weiguo stood up and pretended to leave.
The boss panicked and grabbed him. Deal!"
Although the boss's heart was bleeding, what Zhang Weiguo said just now was the truth.
Antiques and gold were worthless now, and there would be trouble if they were in their hands. It was better to sell them as soon as possible.
Zhang Weiguo smiled and said,"Why didn't you say so earlier? You wasted my time!"”
The boss didn't dare to offend him at all. A smile that was uglier than crying appeared on his face."Yes, yes, yes, you're right."
Zhang Weiguo took out 3,000 yuan and handed it to the boss."Pack it carefully for me. If it's damaged a little... Hmph hmph…"
He deliberately sneered twice, scaring the boss so much that he almost cried. He was afraid that Zhang Weiguo would really burn down his shop if he was unhappy.
He immediately carefully helped Zhang Weiguo pack everything and said with a fawning expression,"Big Brother, it's done."
Zhang Weiguo took his things and went out.
The boss walked him out of the shop with a smile on his face."Big brother, if you still need anything in the future, this store will be waiting for you at any time.”
After Zhang Weiguo rode away, the boss immediately closed the door."Damn it, I was scared to death!"
Zhang Weiguo left Pigeon City and found a deserted corner to put the gold bars and antiques into the ancient mystic realm.
After everything was done, he rode home.
Along the way, he was excited.
He knew that after the new era, each of these antiques would be priceless.
Now that he could get it at such a cheap price, it was simply a bloody profit!
When the new era arrived, he could make a fortune by selling any of them.
Now that he had so many valuable items in his hands, he would definitely be able to live a carefree and happy life in the future.
