"What about fifteen yuan?" Zhou Jianguo asked tentatively.

"No, no, we can't sell it." Although the stall owner still refused, his tone became much better. Zhou Jianguo knew that the price had almost reached his psychological bottom line.

"Boss, eighteen yuan!" Zhou Jianguo shouted out a new price again. Seeing that the stall owner still wanted to refuse, he added: "Boss, as long as you sell it to me for eighteen yuan, I will give you the strange stone here."

'I've suffered it all."

This sentence made the stall owner stunned. He looked at Zhou Jianguo and asked with some uncertainty: "Eighteen yuan, all collected?"

"Well, eighteen yuan a piece, I took it all." Zhou Jianguo said with great certainty.

"Okay, deal!" the stall owner shouted, deal done, with a smile on his face for the first time.

Zhou Jianguo was very surprised as to why the stall owner concluded the transaction so readily. He had always paid around 20 yuan for this price, but the stall owner concluded the transaction directly, which left him a little confused.

However, after the stall owner shouted several times into a small alley behind him, Zhou Jianguo showed a wry expression on his face and thought to himself, no wonder the stall owner concluded the deal so readily.

After the stall owner shouted a few times, five or two tricycles appeared in the alley. Each tricycle was filled with fossils. There were so many fossils that even Zhou Jianguo's face looked bitter.

.

"Haha, I fell into the trap of this stall owner today!"

Zhou Jianguo was extremely speechless. Judging from his previous behavior, this stall owner seemed to be harmless and easy to talk to, but he never expected that he was also a human spirit. Even Zhou Jianguo was fooled by his cunning.

He shook his head helplessly. Although there was a deceived look on his face, he was actually smiling in his heart, because for him, the more fossils like this, the better. How could he not think that these fossils were too numerous?

The more fossils there are, the more spiritual energy his Cave Heaven Orb World can absorb, and correspondingly, the expansion of the Cave Heaven Orb World will be greater. Therefore, Zhou Jianguo actually hopes that the stall owner will bring out more fossils.

The stall owner also saw the "bitterness" on Zhou Jianguo's face, and he was afraid that Zhou Jianguo would reject him, so he quickly emphasized: "Sir, you just said that, if you only need eighteen yuan, you can buy all the ones from me.

'Qishi', sir, you have to keep your word."

"In the antique market, you can't take back what you say." At the end of the sentence, the stall owner also emphasized the unspoken rules in the antique market.

The number of fossils he took out this time was really too much. The fossils on the five tricycles added up to thousands of fossils. In total, Zhou Jianguo had to pay nearly 20,000 yuan for this.

Twenty thousand yuan was nothing in 40 or 50 years later, and most families could afford it. But in the 1960s, when the common monthly salary was 20 to 30 yuan, 20,000 yuan was really nothing.

It's an extremely huge amount of money.

For families in this era, let alone 20,000 yuan, even if it is 2,000 yuan, many families have never saved so much money in their entire lives.

Therefore, the stall owner was worried that Zhou Jianguo would go back on his word because the amount of money was really huge.

"Don't worry, since I said it, I will definitely admit it!" When Zhou Jianguo said this, he pretended to be in pain, and the stall owner breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Sir, do you want to pay in cash?" the stall owner began to urge. He did use some tricks in this transaction. Therefore, the stall owner thought that the sooner he could get the money, the better, so as to avoid a long night of nightmares.

"Here you go!" Zhou Jianguo did not embarrass the stall owner and took out a small yellow croaker and handed it to the stall owner.

This is how it is in the business world. Since Zhou Jianguo didn't plot against the stall owner this time, he had to admit defeat.

He is not Yuan Jie and cannot afford to lose at all. Since Zhou Jianguo has lost, he will not embarrass the stall owner.

"Huh!" The stall owner exhaled. After seeing this little yellow croaker, the big stone in his heart finally fell.

"Thank you, thank you!!" The stall owner took the small yellow croaker and thanked Zhou Jianguo with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"Sir, where are you going to put these strange stones?" the stall owner asked again.

Zhou Jianguo was so willing to give money, and the stall owner thought about helping Zhou Jianguo transport these fossils, which would be considered as compensation.

"No, I have someone who will carry these fossils. I'll leave them to you. What will happen if they get damaged?"

The deal was done, and Zhou Jianguo stopped pretending.

"Haha, you are still fooled!" the stall owner said with a bitter look on his face.

Just listening to Zhou Jianguo's words, I knew that Zhou Jianguo actually knew about the fossils. In other words, he knew the price of the fossils, just to lower the price, so he was pretending to him at the beginning.

"Fooled? I was the one who was fooled by you!" Zhou Jianguo said angrily.

"I know the price of fossils, but tell me, the price of fossils at eighteen yuan a piece is really low?" Zhou Jianguo asked rhetorically.

"This." The stall owner was speechless. He shook his head, and his meaning was obvious.

The one hundred yuan he offered was just the price he offered, the price he wanted to sell it for, not the real price of the fossil. And the price of fossils on the market is indeed not very high now. The price of a fossil is eighteen yuan.

, actually it’s really pretty good.

"These five tricycles are mine. That little yellow croaker costs more than 20,000 yuan. The extra money is considered as the cost of these five tricycles." Zhou Jianguo said directly.

"Okay, these five tricycles are yours." The stall owner agreed without hesitation.

Five tricycles cost more than a thousand yuan, and for this little yellow croaker, he had to give Zhou Jianguo at least 1,500 to 600 yuan in change. Therefore, using five tricycles to pay for the 1,500 to 600 yuan was very worthwhile.

.

The transaction ended quickly, and the stall owner took the small yellow croaker with excitement and left. As for Zhou Jianguo, he asked Zhang Ming and others to come here and ride away the five tricycles.

Someone may ask here, Zhang Ming and Ye Qing have appeared too many times, won't they be suspected?

The answer is simple. Every time Zhang Ming and the others appear, they use the art of disguise to assume different faces and body shapes, so there is no need to worry about being seen through by others.

"What a pity. If you were more honest, your harvest would be more than just this little yellow croaker!" Zhou Jianguo shook his head at the back of the stall owner who was walking away.

This stall owner didn't do the trick just now. Zhou Jianguo will give him a big business and let him continue to buy fossils. Zhou Jianguo will buy a lot of fossils in the future.

This stall owner was able to obtain so many fossils. It was obvious that he was in this industry or had a deep relationship with this industry. Without bothering the two owners, Zhou Jianguo left the matter of acquiring fossils to him.

It's a pity that this stall owner was so clever that he was misled by his cleverness. Although he made a lot of money with one trick, he also lost Zhou Jianguo's trust and lost a huge opportunity to skyrocket.

Since this stall owner was able to manipulate this transaction, he will definitely do it a second time or a third time. Such a person is not suitable to be a partner.

At least, Zhou Jianguo would not want such a partner.

It can be said that this stall owner picked up sesame seeds and lost an entire watermelon field.

"It seems that I have to find someone who understands the fossil industry to do this. So, is there anyone like this among the people I know?" Zhou Jianguo thought, wanting to find out if there was anyone among the people he knew.

Such people.

"Yes!" Zhou Jianguo's eyes lit up, and he thought of a person, Qian Bojun, Weiwei's father.

Qian Bojun's profession is archeology, and he must know some people in the fossil industry, so just talk to him and the problem will be solved.

"Ask Weiwei first. If Weiwei knows, there is no need to trouble her father." Zhou Jianguo thought.

Qian Bojun is an archaeological expert. It is best not to let him know about the sale of fossils, in order to avoid any unexpected situation.

After settling the matter of fossils, Zhou Jianguo continued his journey of collecting fossils.

I don't know if Zhou Jianguo's luck was exhausted just now. Zhou Jianguo didn't come across any good things in the next ten minutes. Even if there were one or two good things, the price directly persuaded Zhou Jianguo to give up.

"Boss, let me ask, how much does this jade screen cost?" Zhou Jianguo was interested in a jade screen that was as tall as a person and three to five meters long.

He has seen many screens, but to be honest, this is the first time he has seen one made of jade like this.

"15,000 yuan, no price, do you want to buy it?" The boss directly said a sky-high price.

Upon hearing this price, Zhou Jianguo immediately shook his head.

He had some interest and wanted to buy it back as a decoration, but the price of 15,000 yuan directly dissuaded him.

Zhou Jianguo actually knew that if he bought this jade screen and sold it after forty years, it would have to be at least a small goal, but somehow, Zhou Jianguo just didn't want to buy it.

At a price of 15,000 yuan, he could buy seven or eight Yuan blue and white flowers. Moreover, the jade screen looked good, but in practical terms, it was really poor.

If you buy such a jade screen, it can really only be used as an ornamental object. If you take it out and use it, haha, it will break accidentally.

For example, there are guests at home with several children. Everyone knows that children are very naughty. What do you think they will do when they see such a beautiful jade screen?

If a child breaks this jade screen, will Zhou Jianguo ask for compensation?

Even if Zhou Jianguo doesn't want anyone to pay compensation, after this time, there will definitely be very few people who come to Zhou Jianguo's house as guests in the future.

There was no way, they really couldn't afford such a jade screen, so Zhou Jianguo was not prepared to buy it.

The price is high and impractical!

After leaving this stall, Zhou Jianguo discovered a good thing again. This was a 500-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, and it was still active. Zhou Jianguo's eyes lit up after seeing it.

He is short of Polygonum multiflorum. If he buys this 500-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, he won't have to look for other Polygonum multiflorum.

"Boss, how do you sell Polygonum multiflorum?"

"Two thousand dollars!"

The price offered by the boss was quite acceptable, but Zhou Jianguo still paid it back, and the deal was finally settled for 1,680 yuan.

After that, Zhou Jianguo scanned a dozen stalls one after another, but found nothing.

However, Zhou Jianguo is very patient. He knows very well that if you want to pick up leaks and treasures, you have to be patient. If you don't even have this patience, then it is best not to enter the antiques industry.

In the antiques industry, it is extremely normal to not encounter a treasure sometimes for months or even years. For people like Zhou Jianguo, it is extremely normal for someone like Zhou Jianguo to have nothing for more than ten minutes.

After that, Zhou Jianguo encountered several headaches. He fell in love with a few antiques, but these antiques were first spotted by several antique dealers, and finally the deal was completed.

Zhou Jianguo had no choice but to give up. He was not Yuan Jie. He would grab whatever he liked, no matter what. Zhou Jianguo abided by the unspoken rule of first come, first served in the antique market. He would not say anything until the people in front gave up.
