Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2822: Thirty thousand oceans have been deposited!
Soon, Black Widow and Duanwu arrived at a tea stall on the south side of the black market.

Although this tea stall is located in the black market, it is decorated quite elegantly.

There are a few quaint wooden tables, bamboo chairs, and a few pots of blooming peonies on the side. The faint fragrance of flowers wafts in the air, adding a bit of vitality to this barren land.

After the two sat down, Black Widow gently waved her hand, signaling her men to leave, and then personally poured a cup of tea for Duanwu, handed it to him with both hands, and said with a smile: "Captain Qi, we haven't seen each other for a while. It's really a coincidence that we meet today."

Duanwu took the tea, took a sip, put down the teacup, and responded with a smile: "You are too polite, Sister Wong. I didn't expect that you not only have business in Chuncheng, but also the business outside the city."

The black lady smiled slightly: "The business belongs to the old man, I am just a handyman."

But at this point, Black Widow seemed unwilling to talk about the old man, so she changed the subject and said, "Captain Qi, I see you brought a lot of good stuff to the black market this time. I'm very curious, what kind of rare items are there that made you make this trip in person?"

Duanwu also smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Black Widow. The things are all with my brother Lao Nian. When he has packed them up, he will bring them to Black Widow for her to look at. And I can guarantee that these things will not disappoint Black Widow."

When he saw Black Widow, Duanwu knew that the antiques in his hands could be sold.

And as expected, Black Widow was very interested in what Duanwu had in his hand.

If the wealthy people outside Chuncheng City live in fear every day and only save gold but not antiques, it is different for the dignitaries in the city.

They have the Japanese as their backs, so as long as the Japanese don't fall, they are safe. So they also have the leisure to buy some antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

Therefore, antiques sell very well on the black market in Chuncheng.

This is also the reason why Baldy Wang became greedy when he saw so many good goods on the Dragon Boat Festival stalls.

So even if Duanwu didn't say that he wanted to sell these antiques to Black Widow, Black Widow would have mentioned it.

But Black Widow is also a businesswoman, so it’s impossible for her to show that she wants it too much.

So she just showed a little expectation and said, "Oh? Then I'll wait and see. I always trust Captain Qi's vision."

However, as the two were talking, Zhao Laonian came hurriedly over with several bundles in his arms. He placed the bundles on the table one by one and said, "Captain, everything is here."

Duanwu nodded and said to Black Widow: "Black Widow, please look."

Black Widow slowly untied a bundle and gently opened a long box, revealing an ancient painting inside. The landscape in the painting had profound artistic conception and delicate brushstrokes, and it was obvious that it was created by a famous artist.

There was a glimmer of surprise in Black Widow's eyes, and she opened several other boxes one after another. Inside were either precious porcelain or rare jade, each of which was worth a fortune.

Black Widow looked at these antiques and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Captain Qi, you are really generous. Any one of these treasures can cause a sensation in this black market. I didn't expect that you brought so many this time."

Duanwu smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Sister Black. These antiques are just a part of what I have. If Sister Black is interested, we can talk about it."

Black Widow's eyes lit up. She didn't expect that so many antiques were only a part of them.

She quickly asked, "Where are the others?"

But as soon as he said this, he regretted it.

How could one just ask about such things? But Duanwu didn't care.

Because the antiques were safe, tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers were unable to touch the Anti-Japanese Battalion’s base, let alone a mere Black Widow?

So Duanwu said with a smile: "They are all in my residence, but let's talk about this deal first. If Black Widow can eat it, then I would also welcome you to visit my residence some other day. I just don't want to cause trouble to Black Widow."

Black Widow also laughed and said, "I dare not, I dare not. We will still trade here when the time comes."

Of course, Black Widow was not afraid of getting herself into trouble. They were originally engaged in black market business, and who they were dealing with was well known to even the Japanese.

But the black market has a necessity to exist.

What's more, the black market itself is backed by multiple forces, and as long as nothing goes wrong, everyone will just turn a blind eye.

Therefore, Black Widow did not have much psychological burden for the deal with Duanwu. She just did not want to go to the Anti-Japanese Brigade, nor did she want to know about the Anti-Japanese Brigade.

This is also the cleverness of Black Widow. After all, everyone knows that the more you know, the faster you die.

So, she got straight to the point and said, "Captain Qi is right. Then let's talk about the price. I want all these treasures. Captain Qi, name your price."

Duanwu pondered for a moment and said, "Sister Black, I won't beat around the bush with you. I'll give you a real price for all these antiques. How about 100,000 dollars?"

Black Widow frowned slightly and said, "Captain Qi, your price is a bit high. Although these treasures are precious, one hundred thousand dollars is too much."

Duanwu smiled and said, "Sister Black, I know this price is not low, but you should know the value of these antiques better than I do. Moreover, I sold them to you because of our friendship. If it were someone else, I might not be willing to sell them at this price."

Black Widow was silent for a moment, and after weighing the pros and cons, she said, "Captain Qi, for the sake of our past friendship, I accept this price. However, Captain Qi, you have to keep all your goods for me. Haha!"

Duanwu smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister. Since we are old acquaintances, who else can I sell it to if not you? However, what I need is cash, not silver bills."

Black Widow also knew Duanwu’s difficulties and gave him a check, but he had nowhere to withdraw the money.

But she didn't have that much cash.

So she turned around to look at her accountant and asked, "Now, how much money can we take out to trade with Captain Qi?"

The accountant took out an abacus and calculated, "Sister Black, the cash we brought today is only 20,000 dollars, plus the black market income this month, it is only 12,231 dollars."

Black Widow frowned slightly and said to Duanwu apologetically, "Captain Qi, it seems that the deal cannot be made today. So, I will give you 30,000 yuan as a deposit, and you keep these things for me. After I report to the old man, I will transfer more cash."

Duanwu said generously: "No need to bother, you can take the antiques and leave the 30,000 yuan to me. Anyway, you will come to this black market again, so let's make an appointment and I will send the remaining antiques to you. Then we can settle the bill together, how about it?"

Black Widow was delighted: "Captain Qi, you are such a straightforward person. Well, it will take some time for me to do this, so we will meet here again in a week."

"it is good!"

Duanwu responded, and the two sides reached an agreement, and the transaction was successfully completed. The first batch of funds for the Anti-Japanese Brigade arrived, and Duanwu finally felt relieved! .
