Chapter 5: The Problem of the Old Man
Chapter 5: The Old Man’s Problem
"It's almost time to get off work. When I return to school, the department heads and the others will leave long ago." Qin Xuebing decided not to go back to school. This incident was too big. The director of the Political Department was food poisoned on the spot. The police and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau intervened one after another. The school management was disgraced and urgently needed a chicken to warn monkeys. The fate of him, a fake leader, was already destined. Even if he went back to discuss with the department head, he would not change anything.
But this does not mean that Qin Xuebing will forget it. He will never be a scammer, nor will he be a victim of the school management. Even if he uses the secret technique of Qimen for this, he will do whatever he wants: "Second, you guys should come over quickly and tell you, I've got a bargain today and give you a chance to kill me."
"Pick up the bargain? Boss, are you finally willing to take action?"
Xu Zhen was stunned for a moment, then cheered: "How big is the leak I picked up? How much did I earn?"
"Come here, let's talk about it." Qin Xuebing cut off the call, called Ye Zijing again, and then started ordering dishes, donkey meat firewood, donkey meat dumplings, Taishan donkey meat, etc., a large table.
"Damn, you're too extravagant, boss." Xu Zhen exclaimed as soon as he came over. He knew that the boss's family was usually very frugal, but now he ordered such a large table. With the consumption of Lao Wang's donkey meat shop, it costs at least 5,000 yuan.
"Boss, to be honest, how much did you earn?" asked the third brother Ma Xiang.
Qin Xuebing stretched out three fingers, and the fourth brother Zhao Yu nodded and praised: "Thirty thousand, not many, I wish the eldest brother a victory."
"Fourth brother, you dare not think about it."
Ma Xiang rolled his eyes: "It's normal for an antique to dozens or millions. If I ask me, the boss must have earned 300,000."
Qin Xuebing smiled and said, "Add another zero."
"What? Three million?" Brothers and others exclaimed. It was definitely a huge sum of money that they could never imagine.
"Brothers, let the rich help the poor." Xu Zhen shouted, and brothers and sisters put Qin Xuebing under the table, shouting that they had half of the meeting.
As soon as Ye Zijing entered the private room, she saw four people making a fuss and couldn't help but feel funny: "As the rumors, your dormitory is full of love, it turns out."
"Beautiful girl Ye, that's purely a rumor." Zhao Yu stopped in disappointment.
"Those who say these words are jealous of our brothers' relationship with each other." Ma Xiang said righteously.
"That's right, brothers have normal personalities." Xu Zhen took it for granted.
"Beautiful lady Ye, if you don't believe me, I'm willing to be a victim and let you test it." Qin Xuebing was righteous.
"Boss, you are strong." The brothers were convinced, too shameless and too despicable.
"Don't let your brothers be fooled."
Ye Zijing rolled her eyes, then looked at Qin Xuebing with a smile: "As for you, to be honest, I want a prince charming and don't like street goods."
"Explanation is to cover up, everyone understands."
Qin Xuebing returned with an ambiguous look and changed the topic without waiting for Ye Zijing to fight back: "The food is all served, let's start eating, celebrating the death of Fatty Ma."
"Boss, don't be busy eating. Let's talk about how you picked up the bargain." Xu Zhen was very curious about how Qin Xuebing was lucky.
"Qin Xuebing, don't you claim to be too much to hear? You can't help it?" Ye Zijing admired Qin Xuebing's endurance very much. Not everyone can visit Pan's home for two years without buying a thing.
But it turns out that no one can resist the charm of antiques and bargains.
"When it is leaked, it is put in front of you. Wouldn't you be sorry for the conscience of heaven and earth?"
Qin Xuebing took the black wheel bottle placed in the corner of the box: "When it appeared in front of me, I felt that the whole world was bright, pies began to fall from the sky, and dog shit on the ground was like flowers..."
Brothers had a few black threads, and Ye Zijing rolled her eyes cutely: "Qin Xuebing, stop being stinky. Isn't it just a golden Cizhou kiln black glaze rust-stained plum vase? Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?"
Qin Xuebing smiled embarrassedly: "The beauty Ye has great eyesight and recognizes the origin of this black wheel at a glance. She was in the same stall at the time..."
Qin Xuebing did not boast about it this time, and told the process of picking up the bargains in the original place, which made the brothers and the others dumbfounded, but Ye Zijing looked depressed: "Oh my God, that's the plum vase in the inner palace of Yongle in Ming Dynasty. You sold it for three million. It's such a pig."
"Beautiful Ye, that's a waste product. Without the bottle cap and the bottle mouth, three million should not be considered low."
"So I said you are stupid. Even if it is a residual product, it is still a plum vase in the Ming Yongle House. There are only six remaining items in the world, and only two of them are circulating among the people. They are infinitely close to the lonely product. It is not surprising that you can sell four million. If you take the photo, you will get at least five million."
Ye Zijing became more and more depressed as she spoke. At the end, she almost glared at Qin Xuebing: "Also, don't you know that I like to collect it too? I don't know how to take care of old classmates with such a good thing, so I should beat you."
"Isn't this too happy? Have you forgotten?" Qin Xuebing smiled embarrassedly, and he didn't dare to be proud anymore. He cursed Qian Zhengtai's old profiteer in his heart, and actually cheated him for more than one million yuan.
But what can I do? He is just a rookie who has just entered the industry. He cannot grasp the price of antiques and has no corresponding connections. If he takes advantage of the situation, he will not blame anyone. He can only think that he is paying the tuition fee.
"Anyway, you remember. If you have any good things to take, remember to notify me as soon as possible." Ye Zijing repeated.
"It must be, I must, eat first, it will be tasteless when it is cold." Qin Xuebing knew very well that Ye Zijing's whole family was collecting, just like a paranoid antique family.
At night, everyone dispersed. Qin Xuebing did not return to school or go home. Instead, he found a good hotel to stay in. He needed a quiet environment to think about what happened to him today. To be precise, what happened after the appearance of the jade pen.
Every stroke is shocking, and it is well-deserved to be shocking. It records all the secret techniques of physiognomy, Feng Shui, tombs and other strange schools from ancient times to the present. There are many types and their effects have their own advantages. If they can be displayed one by one, they will definitely be shocking.
However, for Qin Xuebing, the most precious thing is "Qi Refining Art". Vital energy is the foundation of various Qimen secret techniques. Whether it is to use Qimen secret techniques or resolve cause and effect, vital energy is needed as support.
"Cultivating vital energy should not be slow." Qin Xuebing knew his own situation very well. He had just begun to practice vital energy, and the profound secret techniques of Qimen are difficult to use. If he encounters great cause and effect, he may not be able to resolve it. At that time, he will still have to repay him.
What surprised Qin Xuebing the most was the jade pen itself, which could absorb vitality to calculate and calculate the year of antiques. It was really surprising: "With this ability, you can go to and from antique markets around the world in the future. Not to mention being rich and powerful, it is always okay to be a successful collector."
There are a group of "scavengers" living here, including elderly people, women, children, and especially children here. They are accompanied by garbage as soon as they are born, and are used to the rotten smell emitted by garbage. You can even see them playing on the garbage pile.
The house here is like a hole. A simple greenhouse is built with more than a dozen or twenty households. There are people who raise chickens and ducks inside, which smells extremely bad.
Seeing this, Qin Xuebing couldn't help feeling sad. Grandma Liu's three bastard sons actually let the old man live in such a place, which was simply unbearable. Moreover, from yesterday's conversation, he also learned that Grandma Liu and the couple usually make a living by their daughter's money and picking up garbage. They carry hundreds of kilograms of garbage to the intersection every day and wait for the garbage collection.
Qin Xuebing inquired and found Grandma Liu's house, a single room of about 30 square meters, with a bed, a table and a few broken plastic chairs: "Grandma Liu, I'll come to see you."
"It's Xiao Qin, come in quickly."
Grandma Liu enthusiastically welcomed Qin Xuebing in and said to Grandpa Liu who was lying on the bed: "Old man, Xiao Qin bought the plum bottle yesterday, otherwise he would have no money to buy medicine for you."
"Young man, thank you." Grandpa Liu's voice was hoarse and weak.
"Grandpa Liu, the plum bottle is worth the money, I still take advantage of it."
Qin Xuebing put down the fruit basket and sat down on the edge of the bed: "Grandpa Liu, what disease do you have? Why are you not hospitalized?"
"I'm an old problem, intestinal metaplasia, so I dare not be hospitalized." Grandpa Liu sighed. Intestinal metaplasia is widely seen in various benign gastric diseases, especially chronic gastritis. If the condition continues to worsen, it is likely to cause cancer.
The treatment of this kind of elderly disease is very troublesome. Even if it costs 100,000 yuan, it cannot withstand the exploitation of the hospital. I can only buy some medicine to come back.
Qin Xuebing also sighed and changed the topic: "Grandpa Liu, Grandma Liu, if you have the chance, would you like to live with your three sons?"
"No chance." Grandma Liu no longer dared to think about this question. The old man was so sick that she didn't even look at her three sons. She was already desperate in her heart.
Qin Xuebing sighed again, "What an unfilial son is needed to make his parents so desperate?" But the old couple does need someone to take care of them, otherwise they will never be able to live a life when they get older."
After thinking for a while, Qin Xuebing had an idea and said, "Grandma Liu, didn't you say yesterday that you had a bag of copper coins that you could take out for me to see?"
"Okay, I'll take it out now."
Although Grandma Liu is old, she is still very skillful because she has been picking up garbage for a long time. She quickly took out a small cloth bag from under the bed. Judging from its size, it should be able to hold four or five hundred copper coins: "It is all left by my father-in-law. He likes to collect these objects the most during his lifetime, but they are all rusted and should not be worth much."
"It doesn't matter if it's a little rust, just don't rot." Qin Xuebing took out six copper coins, took out the handwriting on it, and couldn't help but take a breath.
Among the six copper coins, four Hongwu Tongbao, one Jiajing Tongbao and one Kangxi Tongbao: "Grandma Liu, look, this copper coins are called Hongwu Tongbao and two coins. The character Ji is written on the back, which can be sold for five or six thousand yuan."
"So much?" Grandma Liu also took a breath, but she didn't expect that the copper coins that were usually regarded as garbage were so valuable.
"Not all copper coins are so valuable. For example, this one is also a Hongwu Tongbao discount of two cents, but the word "Beijing" is written on the back, which is only worth eight or nine hundred yuan; and this one has the word "Zhe" written on the back, which is only worth one hundred yuan."
Qin Xuebing talked about it and took out the last Hongwu Tongbao: "This one is valuable, and it is also worth two cents for Hongwu Tongbao, but because the character Jing is written on the back, it is worth ten thousand yuan."
"Good, my father-in-law has left us a pair of treasures. I'm still treating them as garbage." Grandma Liu sighed. If I had known that copper coins were so valuable, I would not have to suffer in this place. But then again, if I had discovered them, I might have been divided up by those three unfilial sons.
"Xiao Qin, you won't lie to me, are you?" Grandpa Liu didn't believe it, thinking that it was a pile of broken copper and iron.
"Grandpa Liu, look at what you said. If you lie to you, I have to cheat you at a cheap price, so that I can buy it at a low price."
Qin Xuebing smiled and put the copper coins back into the bag: "Grandpa Liu, Grandma Liu, I won't look at these hundreds of copper coins one by one, I will transfer them to me for two million, how about it?"
"Two million, so much?" The old couple was shocked. Two million, what a huge sum of money.
"Xiao Qin, I know you want to help grandma, but we can't collect this money." After the surprise, Grandma Liu shook her head quickly. The copper coins are tens of thousands, but the cheapest ones are only worth dozens or hundreds of dollars, and it is impossible to use two million.
"Grandma Liu, look at what you said. Even if I want to help others, I can't afford to pay so much for two million. This bag of copper coins is indeed worth so much."
Qin Xuebing made a lot of money from the plum bottles in the inner palace of Yongle, Ming Dynasty, so he naturally wanted to help Grandma Liu and Grandpa Liu completely change the current environment. Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, this bag of copper coins can be worth hundreds of thousands: "Grandma Liu, if you think it is cheap, then I'll add some more for you?"
"No, no, you can't add it. Two million is enough." Grandma Liu shook her head quickly.
"Then let's just say that."
Qin Xuebing laughed: "Grandpa Liu, Grandma Liu, now you have money. If you have the chance, would you like to live with your sons?"
"Who doesn't want three generations to live together and play with grandchildren, but after I've dug up all the money, I can't drive us out." Grandpa Liu sighed and talked about a sad past.
In the late 1990s, the old couple actually had some savings. Living with a son for a year was pretty good. But the three bastards tried to dig out the old couple's money. When they dug up all the money, they drove the old couple out.
Speaking of this, Grandpa Liu burst into tears: "I feel so heartbroken after giving birth to these three beasts."
"Grandpa Liu, don't be sad. I'll give you a trick to ensure it works." Qin Xuebing expressed his thoughts. It was actually not difficult. He found an agency to manage the two million.
Then the three sons of the elderly take turns to support the elderly, and the agency will pay 80,000 yuan in maintenance every year. Until the two elders die, the remaining money will be distributed to the elderly’s three sons as inheritance. Of course, considering the quality of life of the elderly, the agency will evaluate the elderly’s annual life, evaluate the filial piety scores for the elderly’s three sons, and finally divide the inheritance according to the filial piety scores. In this process, if any son is very unfilial, he will be deprived of the right to support and inheritance rights and will not get a penny.
After saying this, Qin Xuebing couldn't help but feel sad. When did the father-son family relationship be maintained by money?
"Xiao Qin, does this really work?" Grandma Liu was a little surprised, so that she could see her grandchildren often. For the elderly, the happiest thing is this.
"As long as they want money, it will definitely work. Of course, they have to find a good agency." Qin Xuebing said.
"Xiao Qin, don't find an agency, or you will keep the money." In contrast, the old couple believed more in Qin Xuebing. They all believed that Qin Xuebing was willing to help them, otherwise they would not have to spend two million at all. As long as they paid 100,000, the old couple would be willing to sell copper coins.
