Chapter 268: Finding Old People and Youngsters to Buy Antiques

For Yang Haoming, collecting junk is his life and dealing in antiques is his dream.

Chen Jianye pointed out that his collection was fake, which was tantamount to denying his level of antique knowledge.

It was like his dream was shattered, which Yang Haoming found hard to accept.

"The situation you described is undeniable. This possibility does exist."

"When it comes to antiques, everyone has their own opinion. It's hard to say who is right or wrong."

Chen Jianye did not continue to argue.

He could see that Yang Haoming didn't want to admit that he had made a mistake and wanted to confront him forcefully.

At this time, there was no need for Chen Jianye to argue with him.

Otherwise it will be difficult to remain friends.

Lies hurt no one, the truth is the sharpest knife.

Many times, it is better to just say the right thing to say. If you insist on explaining the facts clearly, it will only make everyone unhappy.

"You're right. I'll study this porcelain later."

Yang Haoming stopped while he was ahead and softened his tone.

"I came to you this time because I want you to take me to meet those old folks or other antique collectors. If they have any antiques, you can show them to me."

"If it's suitable, I'll buy it."

Chen Jianye talked about the main business of this trip.

Now that he has mastered advanced antique identification skills, he must put them to use.

Chen Jianye was not very confident that he could find bargains by going directly to the market.

So he thought about trying his luck with Yang Haoming and in the circle that Yang Haoming was familiar with.

One reason is to exercise and practice one's antique identification skills.

Secondly, I also collect some antiques and keep them for family use.

The large sum of money in his hand is like waste paper in his hand.

Collecting antiques and keeping them, waiting for them to appreciate in value by a hundred thousand or a million times, isn't that great?

"Jianye, those people are very cunning. It's hard for us to deal with them alone."

"I often have trouble distinguishing between genuine and fake products, and I easily fall into traps."

Yang Haoming reminded.

Many old people and young people make a living by selling their ancestral property, and countless antiques have passed through their hands.

But they are not stupid, not all the antiques they sell are real.

Even Yang Haoming had to carefully identify the issues, and he would not dare to take any action if he was unsure.

"It doesn't matter. Just help me make connections. If you find someone suitable, give me a call."

"The more the better, I'm not afraid of losing money."

Chen Jianye said proudly.

"You are not afraid of losing money, but I can't let you lose money."

"Otherwise, I won't be able to face you."

Yang Haoming said.

"Haha, we're childhood friends, I believe you won't cheat me."

"If we both make a mistake and buy fakes, then we'll just consider it as paying tuition fee."

Chen Jianye spoke in a casual tone.

He was willing to cooperate with Yang Haoming because he was straightforward and had a bottom line.

Even if he had to pay Yang Haoming an agency fee to purchase antiques, Chen Jianye was willing to do so.

Stable channels are very important.

Just like Chen Jianye asked Qiu Jibin to sell grain.

Qiu Jibin makes one cent for every pound of grain.

But Chen Jianye was still happy.

Whether he asked Qiu Jibin to sell grain or asked Yang Haoming to collect antiques, it was a win-win situation.

How could Chen Jianye have the energy to look for antiques?

"Okay then, do you want to tell Jibin?"

Yang Haoming agreed.

"Just tell me, you take me to see someone, if there is a deal, I will give you a fixed commission of five dollars."

"If Jibin is free and wants to go with us, you can take 3 and he can take 2."

"If he's not available, let's go together and I'll give you all five dollars."

Chen Jianye thought for a moment and said.

Since we are doing business, let’s agree on the rules first.

So as to avoid confusion later.

"Okay, let's go find Jibin then."

Yang Haoming said.

"Walk."

Chen Jianye turned and walked out.

The two came to Qiu Jibin's house.

Chen Jianye told Qiu Jibin that he wanted to ask Yang Haoming to purchase antiques.

The commission distribution was also explained.

In this matter, Yang Haoming could completely leave Qiu Jibin behind and cooperate with Chen Jianye.

However, the two parties are childhood friends and have a solid emotional foundation, so they still have to take care of each other.

So as to prevent Qiu Jibin from feeling resentful in the future.

"I have no problem at all. Don't even ask me to pay you two bucks for the trip. I'll go with you even if you don't pay me."

Qiu Jibin agreed readily.

The three of them chatted for a while and then went back home.

Chen Jianye returned to the courtyard.

Yan Fugui was not in the front yard, and the third aunt was watching the gate.

Seeing Chen Jianye coming in, the third aunt said, "Jianye is back."

"Third Aunt is back. Where's Third Uncle? Why are you here to see the gate today?"

Chen Jianye asked.

"He went to the Intermediate Court to discuss some matters with an old man. He was busy doing nothing all day long."

The third aunt said casually.

"The Third Uncle is also busy for the residents of our compound. He helps everyone solve their problems. Even if he has no money, he has accumulated blessings for the Yan family."

Chen Jianye only said good things.

"Haha, that's right."

The three aunts laughed out loud when they heard this.

Chen Jianye pushed the cart into the central courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui are all in the Central Courtyard.

Next to the three of them were other gentlemen from the compound.

"Jianye is here."

"Jianye, the gentlemen are discussing something, come and listen."

"Jianye, you have a family now, it's time for you to come and live with us."

Several gentlemen invited me.

"right away."

Chen Jianye parked the car, said something to Ran Qiuye, and came to the courtyard of the Central Courtyard.

Now that he is the only member of the Chen family, attending compound meetings is his right and responsibility.

Someone representing the Chen family.

"Brother Damao, what are the three uncles talking about?"

Chen Jianye randomly picked Xu Damao next to him and asked.

"The uncle applied for medical subsidies for Mrs. Jia, and all the expenses for her hospitalization were reimbursed."

"Now the three of them will discuss providing assistance to the Jia family."

Xu Damao explained.

"Some of these uncles are quite humanitarian."

Chen Jianye felt quite puzzled, but he kept saying words of praise.

"Bullshit, I think the uncle wants us to pay."

Xu Damao lowered his voice.

"Where's Shazhu? Yi Zhonghai won't let him come out to help with the money."

Chen Jianye looked around the yard but didn't see Sha Zhu.

"Shazhu went to the hospital to deliver a lunch box to old lady Jia."

"This idiot, haha, his mother didn't even get to enjoy the blessing, but old lady Jia got to enjoy it."

Xu Damao looked disdainful.

I really look down upon Sha Zhu's behavior of delivering lunch boxes to old lady Jia.

Chen Jianye didn't respond.

Unless they are very close to him, he generally won't speak ill of others in front of outsiders.

There is no airtight wall in this world.

Talking bad about someone behind their back will soon reach that person's ears.

Chen Jianye was not afraid that Sha Zhu would have a problem with him, but this matter was bad for his character and would affect his reputation if it got out.

"The three of us went to the hospital to see Mrs. Jia. She had lost a lot of weight. She looked so pitiful."

"Something happened to Jia's wife. There is no one in the Jia family who can make money. It's hard for the Jia family to even feed the three of them."

"I'm thinking of holding a fundraiser for the Jia family in the courtyard. What do you think?"

Yi Zhonghai finally talked about fundraising.

The main thing was that Qin Huairu came to him for help again, crying.

Yi Zhonghai was reluctant to lend his own money to the Jia family for their living, but he could not refuse Qin Huairu's request.

Everyone in the compound can only bear it together.

"The Jia family still has food to eat, so there is no need to collect donations."

"Yes, I saw Sha Zhu bringing food to the Jia family again today."

"The Jia family should still have some savings, so it's not enough to raise funds."

Everyone said.

Fundraising is forcing donations, which is like reaching into the pockets of residents to take money out.

The kind that costs fifty cents or one dollar.

No one wants to give money to others for no reason.

When Chen Jianye held a wedding banquet, everyone gave thirty or fifty cents and could have a feast with the whole family.

Can't lose.

Donating it to the Jia family would be like throwing meat buns at a dog, it will never come back.

And because it was a fundraising campaign, the Jia family would not thank them.

I will only thank Yi Zhonghai who initiated the fundraising.

Those who can attend the small meeting are all heads of families in the compound, who have families and businesses and are rich in life experience.

Who would be willing to spend money to help others?
