Rebirth of the Auto Giant

Chapter 7 Get some antiques

"Ding bell!" It was noon, and many workers were riding bicycles passing by on the street. They were wearing white t-shirts and pants that were either blue or green.

A young and beautiful city girl, wearing a colorful plaid dress, was riding a bicycle, flying past her like a butterfly, her two thick and long braids flying in the sky.

Occasionally, a car appears, which seems to stand out from the crowd. The people sitting inside are either rich or noble, and bicycles have to give way.

"I have to buy a bicycle." I always have to go out to do some private work, and it is inconvenient not to have a car.

But buying a bicycle now doesn’t just require you to have money, you also need to have an industrial ticket.

Wang Shi looked at the bicycles passing by on the street and made up his mind to get one.

"Shitou, where are we going now?" Lei Zi, who was walking in front, turned to look at Wang Shi and asked.

"Let's go to Lin Zhengtang's house and have dinner there tonight."

"Okay!"

Lin Zhengtang's home is a courtyard house in Beijing. It is a bit old. There are a pair of bulging stones on both sides of the door and a pair of households on the lintel, indicating that the original owner here was an eighth-grade military general.

The door was in disrepair and the paint began to peel off.

Walking into the yard, there is a grape trellis inside, a large vat in the center of the yard, and an old-fashioned tricycle parked under the eaves on the left side of the yard, with some old scraps placed on it.

"Grandpa, I brought two friends back today." Lin Zhengtang led the two of them in and saw the old man in the yard.

"We have a guest, hurry up, please come in." The old man stood up and politely asked Lin Zhengtang to get some hot water.

"Grandpa, you don't have to be so polite. We are all friends of Lin Zhengtang. We can just do it ourselves." The four of them sat down at the table under the grape trellis.

The grapes are in full bloom, and some wooden boards are used to make a shed under the shelf, which is still cool.

"Leizi, take ten yuan and the meat ticket and go out to buy some meat and vegetables, and then buy a bottle of wine. Let's eat here tonight, and also go to my uncle's place and call him over." Wang Shi said.

He took out a big unity and meat ticket from his pocket and asked the other party to buy groceries.

This meat ticket and some cloth tickets were given by the driver Lao Maozi before leaving.

"Okay." Lei Zi took the things and turned away.

Lei Zi knew that he couldn't help repair the car, so he had to do the errands by himself.

"You don't need to be so polite. How can I let you spend money when you come to my home as a guest?"

"Grandpa, you're welcome. We'll talk slowly later." Wang Shi stopped him, "The three of us made some money outside today."

"Grandpa, this is my master. My master is very capable. Today we helped foreigners repair their cars, which are the kind of cars used by senior officials. In just half a day, we made three hundred yuan, including one hundred yuan.

Foreign exchange..." Lin Zhengtang told what happened to the three of them today, and said that they had lunch there, and the old man was very happy.

That's sausage, a luxury product.

"Master Wang, if you can take care of him, I'm here to thank you. It's not for anything else, just for the sake of a bite to eat. Those who have a stutter are the ones who have it." In these days, it is already a great favor to those who have a stutter, "You

Boy, you must study hard with your master. The master will teach you your skills as your parents again. Our ancestors of the Lin family were officials. We must be grateful at all times, do you understand?" The old man looked at his grandson and asked.

"Now that I know Grandpa, I must learn from my master and respect him in the future." Lin Zhengtang said.

"No, you make it sound like I am an old man in his eighties or nineties, so how can I get a wife?" Wang Shi was still filial when he heard this, feeling as if he was over fifty years old.

"Master, you are so skilled and have a formal job. How can it be difficult for you to find a wife? As long as you yell outside, master, the matchmaker will level the threshold."

"Stop, stop." Wang Shi raised his hand to stop the other party, looked at the old man and asked: "Mr. Lin, I heard that you usually buy some used goods outside. Is this a problem?"

"Oh, yes, I don't have a job, so I can only ride a tricycle around, collect some junk and exchange it for some hard-earned money at the scrap collection station. What's wrong?"

"In this case, I prefer some old things, such as blue and white porcelain, ancient paintings, bronzes, etc. If you know anyone who is willing to sell it, tell me." Wang Shi thought of this and took it out of his arms.

Ten Zhangs were united and handed over to the other party and said: "Keep this money with you. If you come across a good item, buy it for me."

Youdao is an antique from the golden age of troubled times. Now the antique is not worth a few dollars, but decades later, it will be a treasure, and the price will rise to tens of millions or even higher.

"Master Wang also likes antiques?" The old man did not expect that Wang Shi would like antiques at such a young age, and was a little surprised.

"Yes, do you know about antiques?"

"That is, as an old Beijinger, I know something about it. Leave this matter to me. If I can't find it, I will help you go to the purchasing station to help you take a look. There are still scraps collected there, and sometimes there are some good ones.

The things are very cheap, let me take a look at them for you and make sure you are satisfied." The old man suddenly became more energetic when he mentioned the antiques.

"Thank you then. This big ticket will help you buy a bottle of soda." Wang Shi took out another ten-dollar bill and handed it to the other party, but the other party refused to take it.

"If you don't accept it, then I won't teach Lin Zhengtang anymore. It's up to you." Wang Shi pretended to be angry.

Although Wang Shi's family is poor, he knows where to spend money and where not to spend it, and he should be generous and not stingy.

Sure enough, after hearing Wang Shi's words, the other party pointed at Wang Shi and said, "You kid, I have never seen anyone give money like this." Finally, he put it away and said, "Then I'll take it. Don't worry, I will definitely buy the best things for you, like vegetables."

Can you take away the cans and furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties?"

"That's for sure! You know better than me about things like red sandalwood, huanghuali, golden nanmu, etc. You can figure it out." If Ming and Qing furniture were placed a few decades later, it would not have increased dozens of times.

Ten thousand times.

"If it's not enough, ask Lin Zhengtang to tell me." This is a hugely profitable business. In later generations, there was an antique collector named Ma who also started collecting antiques at this time, and later opened a private museum.

In this regard, Mr. Lin knows better than Wang Shi, a novice. Anyway, with Lin Zhengtang's relationship, the relationship between the two parties has deepened. Besides, there are not so many fakes at this time, and there is no chance to catch them.

Soon, Lei Zi came back and bought two kilograms of pork white meat. Wang Shi rolled his eyes when he saw it. Mr. Lin asked Lin Zhengtang to cook. He also took the sausages he had just given from Lao Maozi and cooked one for each person.

Together with a bowl of fried peanuts and two green vegetables, a table of delicious dishes was served to the table.

Tonight, Uncle Xie heard that the three of them had earned three hundred yuan in half a day's work. He was very happy for Wang Shi. At the wine table, Wang Shi gave Lei Zi fifty yuan each and the other party refused to take it, so he only took twenty yuan.

.

The two of them felt that they had not helped much today, and they had just had lunch, which was enough.

In the end, Wang Shi also gave each of them an industrial ticket, and the two did not shirk.

Industrial tickets, if I buy some TVs, bicycles, sewing machines or something in the future, that will come in handy.

Wang Shi also told the two of them about the carburetor and distributor that he had removed today at the wine table, so that they could call him master in vain.
