Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 601
When they were almost done eating and everyone went out to get in the car, Ma Wei felt very good about Zhou Zhi and invited him to join him.

Wang Shuo was driving, and the two sat in the back. Ma Weiwei said: "I just asked whether I wanted to visit the house or call the street. Isn't this old Feng an amateur? It’s a big real house. Is it the same in Sichuan dialect?”

"Dashizhai means that things are both real and good?" Zhou Zhi asked, "If that's the case, we call it stepping on the Ming Kiln in the jargon in Sichuan."

"Stepping on a kiln is to inspect the house. In addition to the bright kiln, there are flower kilns, which are mixed with real and fake; dark kilns, which are things that come from wrong sources; black kilns, which are tricks made by scammers."

Ma Wei was surprised to hear it: "The patterns are similar, and there are different names in different places. The house I'm going to this time is the home of a big shot in the film industry. Have you seen "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Listening to the Government"?"

"Director Li?"

"Yes, that's him." Ma Wei said: "During the filming of these two films, Director Li was very good, with 6000 million Hong Kong dollars in his hands, that is called arrogance."

"The guy in the movie is basically a real guy. I took him to the hardwood furniture factory in the capital to buy some furniture."

"The hardwood furniture factory also sells cultural relics?" Zhou Zhi was curious.

"It's all things that were handed over or confiscated in the past. The wooden utensils are all batched to the hardwood furniture factory. They are not counted as cultural relics and are sold as old furniture."

"At that time in [-], there were too many good objects." Speaking of this Ma Ye, he went on and on: "At that time, Tongxian County had a lot of antiques. In the past, Tongxian County was the end of the capital's waterway, and there were many huanghuali. The furniture is made in Suzhou and transported to Tongzhou through the canal, so it has become a distribution center for furniture.”

"The bottom of the library that can't be sold, I keep it for myself. Therefore, at that time in Tong County, almost every household had old furniture. Looking at the dilapidated houses, when I went into the bedroom, there might be a big red sandalwood bed under the straw poles. "

"At that time, I helped Director Li arrange 12 yuan of furniture. During this period of time, he was short of money and was planning to shoot a new film. He wanted to transfer everything. It happened that Lao Feng wanted to decorate the facade of his company, so let's go and have a look. "

"Does Beijing still follow the old rules now? For example, if you make three break two."

Cheng San Bao Er is the remuneration given to the middleman by the buyer and the seller in the old days. After the transaction is completed, the seller has made a satisfactory transaction, and he has to take [-]% of the total transaction amount as remuneration to the middleman, and the buyer has to spend [-]% of the total transaction amount, this rule is called "three breaks two", whether it is a fur store, a real estate store, a medicine store, a food store, most guilds basically follow this rule.

"Hahaha... I haven't heard this for a while." Master Ma smiled and said, "If you want to do it this way, Director Li will have to give me two thousand and four, and the hardwood furniture factory will have to give me three thousand and six? You How do you ask the cashier of the furniture factory to issue this invoice? Write an 'intermediary fee' on it?"

"Now the street is full of layoffs who are unemployed, and there is no inheritance from the master, who knows the old rules?" Ma Ye said: "In order to facilitate a transaction, some brokers use rogue methods that you can't even imagine. "

"Once a young man took me to Fengtai for shopping. When I arrived, the young man was waiting outside the door. I went into the house to have a look."

"There are about ten items in that pile, such as bottles, clocks, and bowls. The total cost is three hundred and sixty. After reading it, I think it's okay, so I said I want it."

"As a result, the seller suddenly backtracked and said he wouldn't sell it, so I had no choice but to come out. After I came out, the young man asked me if I bought it. I said I wanted to buy it, but they didn't sell it."

"He asked me which of those things was the least valuable. I said there was a broken bowl in it, which was not worth a penny. He said yes, come in with me."

"As a result, after entering, the young man immediately said: How can we not sell it?"

"The seller said he just didn't want to sell it, but the young man picked up the broken bowl in front of me while the family was not paying attention, and dropped it with a 'slap', which shocked me."

"Seeing that it was dropped on purpose, the young man said, oh, I accidentally broke one of you, what should I do? It is definitely impossible to pay for it. Let the buyer buy it at the original price, three hundred and sixty. Well, you won't lose out like this."

"He smashed one of the most worthless ones, and said that if he wanted to pay for it, he would take away the pile with three hundred and six. This made the family very sad, and I was very embarrassed."

"But it's finally a deal, right?" Zhou Zhi tried to get the result with his toes.

"That's right! People like you and I have to be shameless anyway. This kind of person goes around the street and collects this kind of second-hand goods. They have bad eyesight but they have a thick skin and a lot of experience."

"In the end, the family murmured for a long time and decided to sell me at three hundred and six."

"What if they don't sell it?" Zhou Zhi asked.

"That's right, I asked him after I went out, if the family insisted on selling it? Guess what he said?" Ma Wei shook his head straight: "He said that he would throw another one and see if they sell it."

"These tricks can only be used by the bottom of the society. We are too immature to think of it!"

"In the end, I paid him the middle fee according to the old rules, and even gave him the seller's share."

"Among those people, Ma Ye's word-of-mouth designation is excellent." Zhou Zhi laughed.

Master Ma also smiled: "Now if they find something good, Dao also likes to ask me to see it."

"I'm a guy who can't make a deal, and knows a lot of rich people. If we can't afford it, there will always be someone who can afford it, right?"

"Another advantage is that at least I know who owns the good stuff, and I also have something to worry about, or if someone wants to make a move one day and I have money, wouldn't they still come to me?"

"Master Ma, you have such a good attitude." Zhou Zhi praised, "I would be reluctant to change it."

"They are all friends." Ma Ye said: "If you really think about it, you can go to other people's houses to see it. The business I introduced to you, please come and have a look, so you won't be chased away?"

"That's because you have good eyesight." Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "Otherwise, before you go to someone else's house, someone else will come to your house first."

"That's not going to happen." Master Ma said with a smile: "The ones you introduce to your friends are definitely objects that you can see at a glance. At least there are still three days to see the goods in the antique shops in the capital. No, you can stay in the store for three days.”

"In these three days, I can still ask Master to help me palm my eyes."

"This is the treatment that only well-known old shops and famous people in the industry have!" Zhou Zhi couldn't help giving a thumbs up: "Just based on this, I know that you are the kind of person in the capital!"

"Where can I get this?" Master Ma quickly shook his head: "There are a lot of seniors on top of them, but most of them are self-respecting, such as my master, and now basically they can only go in and out. Hey, here we are."

"This place..." Zhou Zhi got out of the car and found red palace walls on both sides: "Master Ma, this place...is the Forbidden City over there?"

"Yes, the country gave great support to the filming at that time, and for the first time opened part of the Forbidden City as a shooting location." Ma Ye said: "For the convenience of work, Director Li asked me to find a place for him, the closer to the Forbidden City. The better, here it is.”
