Chapter 73
Han Zhen carried the mummy man in one hand and hurried forward, continuing to listen to the other person's story.
Perhaps because too much time had passed, a layer of golden light shrouded the little Taoist priest beside him began to flicker. Along with this, the light in the entire tunnel also became flickering, adding to the mysterious atmosphere.
The mummy man talked about how their boss brought the last and most valuable piece of stolen goods to the blind boss of the antique street and prepared to sell it.
"Our boss is quite famous in the industry. His colleagues who knew us at that time called him Chen Laogou."
Hearing the mummy man mentioning the reputation of their boss, Lu Liang, who had been silent and listening to the story next to him, couldn't help laughing, and even the light flashing on his body flickered several times.
The mummy man heard the little Taoist priest's laughter and continued to explain: "This is not meant as a curse. The most important thing for people like us is to have a sense of smell like a dog. We must have a sense of smell for danger as well as a sense of smell."
He has a sense of smell for treasures. Therefore, the title "Old Dog" is a kind of affirmation from his colleagues. After all, those of us who make a living digging people's graves cannot be called Dragon Brother or Tiger Brother like the gangsters."
Han Zhen thought about it carefully and found out that among the many zoo boys he had recruited, no one named him Brother Dog. It seemed that the division of the industry was quite orderly and everyone did not mess with each other.
When the mummy man saw that Han Zhen was silent, he continued: "Our boss is indeed a ruthless person. In addition to being bold and careful, he is also very generous to his brothers. Every time he makes a move, the money he gets is always shared equally by everyone.
He doesn't take advantage of anyone, and he never eats alone. The only shortcoming of him is that he is somewhat vanity..."
At this point, the mummy man paused in his narration, as if he was caught in some memory, but there was no expression visible on his rough, rotten face like a shroud.
Chen Laogou's vanity is a very strange thing. After all, it is difficult to imagine that a thief leader who leads a group of desperadoes to dig for food in the fields can wear gold and silver like a nouveau riche coal boss.
And his so-called vanity is an almost paranoid emotion towards cultural relics and antiques. He seems to enjoy the feeling of others being sedated by the things he takes out.
In the past, when he used his network to sell dirty items, those who knew him well would always pretend to be shocked by the value of the cultural relics he sold, and then flatter him. All he had to do was act like he knew what he was selling.
, Chen Laogou will always lower the selling price by a few points as if he is selling the goods to the destined person.
As their group fled to Z City, Chen Laogou also personally came to the blind boss to sell things many times. However, although there were many priceless items in the past few times, the blind boss always looked calm.
After a few simple searches, he gave the price and never made any flattering remarks.
On the one hand, Chen Laogou felt that this person was indeed very knowledgeable and had seen really good things, so he would not be shocked by the gadgets he brought out, which added to his respect for this person.
On the other hand, this also left his vanity completely unsatisfied.
As for the last item brought today, it is considered a rare treasure in Chen Laogou's own fighting career. Usually, if he wants to take out such an item, he must be careful and test it again and again, facing an absolutely familiar person.
Dare to take action.
But now, this is indeed the last thing. As long as he gets rid of it, he can live a stable life with a group of brothers without worrying about food and clothing. In addition, he also has some little ideas to shock the blind boss.
Therefore, even though he was not sure about the details of this blind boss, he still chose to take the risk and bring the things.
As soon as he walked in, he yelled "big business" at the top of his lungs, which could be regarded as a boast to inflate his worth. However, Chen Laogou was indeed full of confidence in the last thing he brought.
Behind the counter of the antique shop, the blind boss was pouring himself a cup of tea when he heard a shout from the door.
The familiar voice allowed him to immediately identify the other party, and a smile appeared on his face, but his unfocused eyes made the smile seem a bit hypocritical.
"Haha, Boss Chen is here again. What good things did he bring me this time?"
Hearing the other party's familiar opening remarks, Chen Laogou and his two younger brothers quickly approached the counter. He gestured to the blind boss with the box in his hand, and then thought that the other party was a blind man, so he used his fingers to press the red
The square box with wooden carvings was lightly clicked twice, and then he said randomly: "Boss Wen, the thing this time is not an ordinary object. You are a business place with an open door. After all, there are many people and mixed eyes. Is there anyone there?"
Is it convenient to discuss in detail?”
Usually, there are many things that Chen Laogoulu brings that are worth six or seven figures, but they always inspect the goods directly at the counter and pay on the spot.
Occasionally, I would chat with a few people after the transaction was completed, just make a pot of tea on the reception table and chairs in the lobby, and never go inside for detailed discussions.
This time, when he heard that the other party actually asked for a convenient place to talk, the smile on the blind boss's face became a little deeper.
He didn't say anything, just stared at Chen Old Dog with a pair of unfocused eyes with a smile, and stretched out his right index finger to tap lightly on the table, as if he was thinking about something in his mind.
After a few minutes, just when Chen Laogou was about to get impatient, the blind boss spoke again: "Haha, I already know what Boss Chen brought. I have a small business here, and all I can give is
This number."
As he spoke, he stretched out his fair and slender right hand, made a five sign in front of Chen Laogou, and fell silent again.
When Chen Laogou saw the other party's gesture, he was inexplicably shocked.
He naturally knew what this number represented, but what shocked him was not how high the number given by the other party was, but that the number was so accurate, and it happened to be the price he expected to pay for the item.
However, the other party didn't even open the box he brought. Could it be that this blind boss is like Monkey Sun in Journey to the West, with the ability to see things through boxes?
Thinking of this, Chen Laogou lost the complacency he had when he entered the house, and instead asked in a stuttering tone: "Wen...Boss Wen, are you sure it's this price? Do you dare to bid for it without looking at what I brought?"
"
Hearing his question, the blind boss chuckled "haha" again, and then pointed at his own eyes, meaning that I can't see like this.
Chen Laogou hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, brother, I made a mistake, but the boss has personally inspected the things I brought in the past. For such a big deal this time, are you sure you don't need to open the box and check it?"
As if he knew that the other party would ask this question, the blind boss raised his glass and took a sip of tea without hesitation, and then said: "Boss Chen has been frequenting my shop recently. I also learned from Boss Chen."
I’ve made a lot of money, and since this is the last time Boss Chen comes to sell something, I’m sure Boss Chen won’t cheat me.”
Hearing what the other party said, Chen Laogou was frightened again and quickly asked: "How do you know this is my last time..."
At this point, he realized that he had made a mistake and quickly stopped talking. Wasn't this a disguised admission that this was his last attack?
The blind boss shook his head and explained slowly.
Shi said: "Boss Chen, you have sold so many things to me, with high and low values, but I don't even ask where they came from, so you must know the secrets of my small shop. To be honest, like you
You are definitely not the only one who has such customers come to your door. So I still know how big bosses like you behave."
The other party's words almost revealed Chen Laogou's identity, and he told the other party clearly: I know this is the last time you come to sell stolen goods, because the usual style of you tomb robbers is to save the most valuable ones until the end. But he did it for Chen
Lao Gou embellished it a bit and said that the tomb robber was the big boss, but in fact both parties knew it well.
After listening to the explanation of the blind boss, Chen Laogou smacked his tongue again. Now that the other party made his words clear, his suspicion became less. As for how people judge the value of the things in the box, he can do appraisals in this industry.
He said it was just a means of eating. If someone didn't explain it in detail, it would be hard for him to ask in detail.
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Laogou gritted his teeth, gently put the wooden box in his hand on the counter, and asked: "Okay, since you are a cheerful person, brother, I won't do any ink. I'll just do what you said.
Price, pay with one hand, delivery with one hand.”
When the blind man heard what Chen Laogou said, he smiled at him again, reached out and touched the mahogany box gently, and then said: "This time the amount is large, please wait a moment, I will say hello, Qian Shao
It will then be transferred to your account."
After saying that, the blind boss opened a wooden door behind the counter, turned around and walked in, leaving only Chen Laogou and the two little brothers he brought waiting outside looking at each other.
The three of them waited outside for less than half a quarter of an hour when a text message rang on their mobile phone. Chen Laogou hurriedly took out his phone and saw that a notification of a large transfer was sent in the form of a text message.
Chen Laogou looked at the text message, then at the mahogany box on the counter and the empty counter.
I thought to myself that the boss of this article is really not afraid that I will take the money and run away with the thing. You know, the value of this thing is enough to move people's hearts. And the origin of this thing is not legitimate. Even if I hack him, he will definitely not do it.
Dare to call the police.
To be honest, it is impossible not to be moved, but the reason why Chen Laogou has been able to live peacefully for so many years is because of his dog-like sense of smell.
This blind boss looks simple, but his mysterious style and the information revealed in his speech all tell Chen Laogou that this person is not to be messed with.
Forcibly suppressing the greed in his heart, Chen Laogou winked at the two younger brothers behind him who were hesitant to speak, signaling them not to act rashly.
Just after he calmed down the two young men who were about to move, the wooden door behind the counter opened again.
The blind boss with a smile on his face walked out from behind the door, raised his hand to Boss Chen who was still waiting behind the counter, and asked: "Has the money arrived?"
Chen Laogou also imitated the other party's gesture and bowed his hands, not caring whether the other party could see it or not, and then said: "Here we are, Boss Wen is an honest man, and I have to be trustworthy. The things this time are indeed in the hands of my brother."
The last thing is. And to be honest with Boss Wen, we brothers are also planning to wash our hands this time, and I’m afraid there won’t be anything to do with it again in the future. However, we admire Boss Wen’s character, and we also admire this friend.
I'm willing to hand it over. If Boss Wen needs any help in the future, just ask, and the brothers who can help will never refuse."
Chen Laogou's original intention was to say a few polite words, so that everyone could forget about each other from now on.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the blind boss standing opposite him answered without hesitation: "Oh? I really have something to ask for help, but I don't know if Boss Chen can give me a favor.
