Tomb Robber: I am Hu Bayi’s cousin

Chapter 493 Top trading place!

In fact, anyone who plays antiques in Sijiucheng knows that the Crescent Hotel is the place where real connoisseurs stay, and all the antiques they play with are really big items.

Compared with here, Liulichang and Panjiayuan are just street stalls, full of scammers.

The real business is basically done in the theater on the third floor of the Crescent Hotel.

During the Qing Dynasty, this was the place where eunuchs in the palace did business with foreigners. They had to wear formal clothes when entering and leaving. Over the years, this has become an unspoken rule.

Buyers and sellers who come here to trade must wear formal attire before entering.

No matter how rich you are or how awesome your status is, if you wear big pants, you will not be allowed to enter.

Early that morning, Wu Xie and Fatty came to the door in suits and ties holding invitation letters.

Although Wu Xie is not that kind of handsome man, his figure is within the range of a normal person, even a little thin, and he looks good in a suit.

But the fat man

"Which store made this suit for you? I'm going to burn that store down."

Wu Xie looked at the fat man's outfit and complained.

The fat man's suit was extremely ill-fitting and one size too small. The fat man was holding his breath from beginning to end in order to prevent his general belly from being exposed.

The tie was hanging haphazardly around his neck, like a fried dough stick.

The whole person looks nondescript, especially compared to the looky-looking people in suits and ties at the door. It's really embarrassing.

At the very least, if Wu Xie had no choice, he really didn't want to come here with the fat man.

It’s so embarrassing!

Wu Xie heard the low laughter of the young lady wearing a dress passing by.

The image was completely ruined by the fat man.

"It's none of my business. You fat man, I've been feeling a little better recently. This suit was bought by my mother. It was in good condition a year ago."

"We are free to wear whatever size suit we want. If I am willing to wear children's clothes, even if we, Hu Ming, are here, they are not allowed to let us in?"

The fat man didn't feel comfortable being wrapped up, so he muttered.

"Okay! You are right, then you go ahead."

Wu Xie had no intention of talking nonsense with him. He had a bad premonition in his heart. He felt more and more that the reputation of the old Wu family might be destroyed in his hands today.

"You two, please come inside. The second master has already arranged seats for you two."

Wearing a decent cheongsam, Sheng Sheng slowly walked out of the Crescent Hotel and looked at the two of them with an impeccable smile.

Shengshengmang has received professional training. Under normal circumstances, she will never laugh at the distinguished guests who come to the door.

Especially since this was the distinguished guest that Hu Ming had warned.

Even if you really can't bear it anymore, your slow voice will still keep your smile in your heart.

"Where's the uncle? I want to see him."

Wu Xie raised his eyebrows, trying to dig out some inside information from Sheng Shengman.

"I'm sorry, Young Master, the Second Master and the young lady are busy now. There is a very troublesome customer and I'm afraid I don't have time to receive you."

"But please don't worry, the second master has already given instructions. You two are honored guests of our Crescent Hotel, and all purchases will be in the second master's name."

He slowly led the two of them into the door, took the elevator to the third floor, and explained softly.

Wu Xie made an appointment to meet here, but so far, there is still no sign of the mysterious buyer who wants to acquire the structure diagram of the style mine.

We had no choice but to follow Hu Ming's arrangement and follow the sound slowly.

This was Wu Xie's first time here, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

After getting on the elevator and reaching the third floor, everything you can see is gorgeous Chinese-style interiors, with antique ornaments and carved windows, doors and screens everywhere.

If you look closely, you will see that all the ornaments are genuine antiques!

Most of them were porcelain from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and Wu Xie even saw some old things from the Tang Dynasty!

"...Hiss, is the Yin family so wealthy?"

Along the way, everything is genuine, and not a single one is an old fake!

Looking at these things, Wu Xie took a breath and couldn't help but sigh.

The value of these things added up is already an astronomical figure!

It is hard to imagine how rich the assets of the Yin family, which has been standing in Sijiu City for hundreds of years, are.

At least, Wu Xie is sure that their old Wu family will definitely not be able to compare.

"Or should we say that the Crescent Hotel is the most high-end place in the antique trading industry in the Forty-Nine City? Even my dad's Treasure Pavilion is still inferior to this place!"

"Naive, to tell you the truth, some of your Laojiu Sect's transactions involving larger amounts are conducted here. In the entire Four-Nine City, you won't find a higher-end trading place than here."

The fat man couldn't help but sigh.

In short, the Crescent Hotel is extremely luxurious and is the favorite place for the upper class in the entire Forty-Nine Cities.

In response, Shengsheng smiled slowly and said nothing.

In fact, strictly speaking, the Crescent Hotel has been inherited for a long time, and the change of dynasties will not affect the transcendent status of the Forty-Nine City, even the rise of the Treasure Pavilion in recent years.

Over the past hundreds of years, what troubles has the Crescent Hotel not seen?

Compared with Crescent Hotel, the entire Jiumen…

If the Crescent Hotel is said to be an aristocratic property with a long history, then the entire Jiumen Hotel really feels like a nouveau riche.

During the Republic of China, Jiu Men rose rapidly and could be described as an upstart at the time, but they declined even faster!

The entire Jiumen has only flourished for less than half a century. At the beginning of the new society, in order to have a legal identity and not be liquidated for being a tomb robber, it can be said that a huge price was paid.

But nowadays, Hu Ming really doesn’t think highly of Jiumen anyway.

Because although the current Zhenpin Pavilion is not as good as the Crescent Hotel, it can only be compared to the Crescent Hotel in Sijiucheng! Although it was established late, there are many treasures inside, and it responds to various national policies and has developed very well in recent years with the support of the country!

As for Jiumen, until now, there are still some idiots who cling to their family fortunes, show off their power, and hope to carry forward the family industry.

What kind of era is this, and you still want to make a living in this profession?

It's fine if you're a lone ranger, but if your family fights as a unit?

Stop making trouble, it’s the 21st century, dear!

The society is gradually stabilizing and the law is gradually improving. As long as a big shot targets Jiumen, will Jiumen still want to survive?

Dreaming!

Although "he" has been persecuting the Nine Sects for so many years, in a certain way, "he" needs the Nine Sects, so why not be the protective umbrella of the upper level of the Nine Sects?

Now that "he" has been injured, Jiumen still wants to rely on fighting to survive?

Take date pills.

Remember, China is the country of the world. In front of the state machine, the so-called families who fight against each other are just chickens and dogs.

Why does Wu Laogou want to whitewash the Wu family?

First, the situation forced him to do so, and second, Wu Laogou had seen through the inevitability of social development. In the new era, there really was no place for tomb robbers to survive.

Therefore, if today's Jiumen insists on fighting upside down and does not change their profession, it will be completely ruined sooner or later.

The Wu family, the Hong family, the Huo family, and the Xie family have done a good job in this regard. They started the family transformation early, put aside the shady business, and ran a serious business...
