Chapter 4 Zhang Donkey "2 More Asking for a Monthly Ticket"
"Sister Feng Nan, where is there a glass shop?" Ouyang Xiaowei was a little anxious.
After leaving the general manager's office, Feng Nan left the company with Ouyang Xiaowei, and went door to door looking for glass products stores, hoping to order those medals quickly, but because it was a bit late, they kept looking for Several of them were closed, and both of them were very anxious.
Tomorrow is the eighth anniversary of the company's establishment. If you can't get all the medals, it will be questionable. It seems that the company's development history is not enough to rely on pictures and text materials.
Feng Nan bent down and rubbed his sore calves, frowned and said, "I remember there seems to be another one on the street next door, let's go and have a look."
The two cheered up and continued to walk forward. A Mercedes-Benz drove up from behind, stopped firmly beside the two, and honked its horn twice.
Ouyang Xiaowei and Feng Nan turned their heads and saw that it was Mr. Fan's car, and then saw Fan Wubing stuck his head out, "You two beauties, get in the car, I know where I can find someone who makes that thing. "
Ouyang Xiaowei looked at Fan Wubing a little depressed, thinking that if she hadn't met this person, she wouldn't have smashed three medals in a row, but before she could think about it, Feng Nan pulled She got into the car.
Fan Ting's two Mercedes-Benz were still given to him by Qiu Baohua's big boss before Fan Wubing went abroad, and the license plate was quite good. Second, Mercedes-Benz is indeed more comfortable to sit on. The price of the brand did not drop, so Fan Ting never changed the car.
After Fan Wubing came back, he naturally didn't have his own car, so Fan Ting spared one of his own cars for him to use.
"Do you have a driver's license?" Although he didn't know the specific relationship between the big boy in front of him and Mr. Fan. However, based on his ability to freely enter and leave Fan Ting's office, the relationship between the two is unusual. Moreover, Feng Nan noticed that Fan Wubing's appearance was somewhat similar to Fan Ting's, so there must be some kind of relationship between them. of.
"Driver's license?" Fan Wubing froze for a moment, then replied with a smile, "No one in China, I have a driver's license in the United States."
"A driver's license from the United States?" Feng Nan was also taken aback, and then muttered, "I don't know if the traffic police in Beijing recognize this. I hope your driving skills are okay!"
Fan Wubing nodded and said. "I'm used to driving in the United States. You don't take driving seriously, and naturally you don't take cars seriously. However, the American driver's license test is very strict, and basically there is no human kindness." It can be said, therefore, you don't have to worry about whether my driving skills are reliable. Taking a step back, even if I crashed a car or something, others will suffer because of the safety performance of this car.
Still very reassuring. "
Both Feng Nan and Ouyang Xiaowei shook their heads, expressing that they couldn't rest assured that they really didn't have much confidence in this big boy who was born like a broom star, so they directed at him and caused the bad luck of losing three medals in a row probability. The possibility that two people can rest assured of him is almost zero.
But what Fan Wubing said was quite well-founded. At the airport in the afternoon, this car directly hit Ye Tian's Cadillac into a mess. He was just rubbing off some paint, he was quite at ease about the safety performance of this car. Back then, Qiu Baohua's big boss did not compromise on the selection of gifts.
The car made three turns and turned into an alley, then stopped outside a courtyard house, and several people got out of the car.
"Here?" Feng Nan and Ouyang Xiaowei looked around, but there were no signs to indicate that this place was for business.
"That's right." Fan Wubing said to the two of them, "It's here, let's go in, if it's too late, they won't accept work!"
Feng Nan and Ouyang Xiaowei dubiously followed Fan Wubing into the courtyard, and went straight into a room. Sure enough, it was filled with all kinds of messy sundries, such as antiques, woodware, porcelain, badges, glass products, etc. so many.
"Old Zhang, come out to pick up the work." Fan Wubing didn't see anyone, so he raised his voice and shouted.
Then I saw a buddy who looked like Feng Xiaogang get out of the pile of sundries, looked at Fan Wubing and the three of them inexplicably, and then asked hesitantly, "What do you want to order? "He was still a little puzzled in his heart, his memory has always been very good, how could he not have the slightest impression of the three people in front of him? But seeing the big boy among the three call his name, it seems to be a very familiar feeling!
"Don't look at it!" Fan Wubing looked at this guy who should have only met ten years later, and said with a smile, "I was introduced by a regular customer, just make a simple thing, you see the work first?" Then She nuzzled at Ouyang Xiaowei.
"Uh, it's like this—" Ouyang Xiaowei froze for a moment, then hurriedly handed over the drawing drawn in her hand, then chirped with Lao Zhang about her request, and finally added, "Trouble It's best for you to hurry up, we'll use it tomorrow."
Hearing what Ouyang Xiaowei said, Fan Wubing immediately curled his lips, thinking that if you are in such a hurry to urge others, it is not the same as telling others that I am a sheep, come and kill me!
"Hurry up?!" Sure enough, Lao Zhang rolled his eyes and said immediately, "One piece costs one hundred and fifty yuan, and three yuan is four hundred and five. Integer, you can pay five hundred yuan!"
"It's so expensive!" Ouyang Xiaowei's face twitched immediately. Her salary was not very high. In Beijing in 1991, four to five hundred yuan a month was considered a relatively high salary. Who would carry so much money with them all day?
Naturally, Feng Nan didn't bring that much money, and the two looked at each other in embarrassment.
But Lao Zhang also said sarcastic words, "There are also cheap ones, so we can only make do with glass."
Fan Wubing touched his pocket. Pull out a bill. Handed it to Lao Zhang.
"Yo! Dao Le'er——" Lao Zhang took the colorful banknote and looked at it carefully in front of his eyes, and then asked a little aggressively, "Brother, your version is not bad. Is it a high-quality imitation? Can you introduce me to the business? How about I give you a 20% discount for these three brands?"
"I call you a black-hearted donkey!" Fan Wubing scolded angrily, "Have you ever seen a dollar?! Open your eyes and take a closer look, which version is it?!"
Lao Zhang was taken aback for a moment, thinking that this is really someone who was introduced by a regular customer? Otherwise, you shouldn't know my nickname! He has been in this industry for several years, and he has come into contact with many people, but there are really not many who can call him a donkey, and he can count them on two hands, so he tentatively asked, "Forgive me for being so forgetful." .Who are you here?"
Fan Wubing shook his head and said. "It's useless for you to inquire about my details. Let's do this job first. Later, I have a big business to take care of you. Whether it will work or not depends on your craftsmanship."
"Is there anything that can't be done? Lao Zhang's craftsmanship is naturally top-notch." Lao Zhang quietly put the hundred-dollar bill into his arms, and then dug out the whole set of equipment from the debris pile like a magic trick , and I don’t know where to pull out three pieces of crystal glass. Then the work started. Immediately, there was a sound of machine grinding in the room, which was very ear-piercing.
Fan Wubing retreated to the outer room with Feng Nan and Ouyang Xiaowei to see Lao Zhang's randomly placed collection.
It is said to be a collection, but in fact there are many types and styles. You know, there are everything on the street stalls in Beijing. The real and the fake are mixed together, and it's not easy for experts to see it.
But the two girls came together. Naturally, they like to discuss those shiny things, such as suet jade pendants, crystal ornaments, or bead chains, etc., and they forget the time when talking.
Fan Wubing thought that the woman and the giant dragon were indeed relatives, and both were interested in shiny things.
Looking at the room full of things, Fan Wubing remembered how he met Zhang Donkey back then.
In fact, Zhang Maolu's age is about ten years older than Fan Wubing, but he has been learning crafts from his master since he was a child, and he has never been to school. Many things are taught by hand. But he is smart and savvy, and he is considered a top expert in this industry, but ordinary people naturally don't know it, and only think that he is setting up a street stall to make ends meet.
If it hadn't been for Fan Wubing who asked a friend to come to Lao Zhang's door for a matter back then, he wouldn't have known that such a hermit lived in a small alley in Beijing. Lao Zhang's assets are also tens of millions more.
Fan Wubing glanced around the room and saw many things, including white jade from the Han Dynasty, porcelain from the Ming Dynasty, official kiln porcelain from the Song Dynasty, pots and jars, and a lot of lacquerware.
After a while, the noise in the room finally stopped, and Lao Zhang came out of the house, holding three crystal medals in his hand, and said to the three, "Look at the goods first? What's wrong?" ?”
Although he said so, judging from his demeanor and tone, he was very confident.
Feng Nan and Ouyang Xiaowei looked at the three medals carefully over and over again, and said in amazement, "Wow! That's really well done, it's exactly the same as the original ones!"
Lao Zhang said proudly, "Of course there is no problem. But your fakes are too rampant, and the medals in this book can be made casually? In a year, there are only a few dollars. You use this to fool ordinary people It’s okay, an expert will know it’s a fake at a glance! Don’t say I didn’t warn you about this, if something goes wrong, don’t say it’s because of my poor craftsmanship!”
Fan Wubing knew that Lao Zhang had good intentions, but these medals were genuine, the original ones were just smashed into pieces, and the related certificates are still in the company's file showroom. Naturally, there is no need to worry that someone will suspect that this is a fake.
"You guys can leave after watching it. I'm still waiting to close the stall here." Lao Zhang has already started to pack his things, ready to evict people.
"Bring it—" Fan Wubing smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said to Lao Zhang.
"What?" Old Zhang's eyeballs rolled around. asked some surprised.
"What is the exchange rate between the US dollar and the RMB? And the 50% discount you mentioned—" Fan Wubing reminded.
The current exchange rate between RMB and US dollar. In the black market, it is usually ten to one, so Fan Wubing's one hundred dollars is worth about one thousand yuan, plus the 50% discount that Lao Zhang shouted just now, of course Fan Wubing will buy it with him. Think about it.
Actually make such three brands. The cost was about 20 yuan, Fan Wubing was willing to leave him 250 yuan, which meant to make him feel poor.
Sure enough, Lao Zhang immediately turned his face into a bitter gourd, and complained endlessly, "God! Look at my nest, how can I find a hundred yuan? I think you are also a big man, and the one hundred and eighty yuan is the most expensive one." Can't it be a reward?"
Fan Wubing shook his head repeatedly and said, "That's not what you said. We are clearly marking the price and consuming reasonably. Besides, it costs a few hundred yuan. I can still hear a sound even if I throw it into the water. You just keep silent Take it, what is it? Friends on the road have heard about it, so why don’t they laugh at me for two hundred and five!?”
Lao Zhang replied with a bitter face, "But you can't give me two hundred and five, isn't this poor man! Otherwise, why don't you just pick one of the things in my house and take it away? After all, they are all antiques. , how much it is worth. It depends on your luck. Fan Wubing took a serious look at Lao Zhang, and then laughed, "Don't fool me with fakes. I don't know about them. You made them at night. fake. I am not a sheep! "
"The conscience of heaven and earth!" Lao Zhang suddenly cried out. "It's good to have fake ones, but you can't kill them all with one blow. Why aren't these things worth a few hundred dollars when they are taken outside?"
"Any one will do?" Fan Wubing asked again.
"You can pick and choose, I've never been unambiguous about this matter." Old Zhang replied calmly, and he said to himself that I don't have real products here anyway, so you can take whatever you like.
Feng Nan and Ouyang Xiaowei surrounded them, and each of them held a jade mountain, and the other grabbed an ivory pen holder for Fan Wubing to refer to.
Fan Wubing smiled, shook his head, and then went directly to the place where Lao Zhang was tumbling, there was a small mahogany box with a dozen or so carving knives in it, he picked up the box, Pushing it into his arms, he said to the two girls, "Let's go, go home!"
Lao Zhang suddenly became anxious, now he knew that the person in front of him was an expert, but he said it himself, and he couldn't force him to take it, so he could only pull Fan Wubing's sleeve and begged, "Little brother, little brother!" Brother, boss, brother, I beg you, this is my job to eat, you will not come here to tear down my signboard, right? There are low-level people like me everywhere in Beijing, and I will never offend you Ah! Please do me a favor, hold your hand high, and just forgive me!"
"You said this casually." Fan Wubing said lightly.
Fan Wubing had seen that set of tools before he was reborn, and he had heard Zhang Maolu brag that it was a treasure handed down from his ancestor. His exquisite craftsmanship is one thing, but the material and design of this set of tools are ingenious. , It is also an important reason why he is invincible. Just this set of tools, others will buy it for 1.8 million yuan, and he will not sell it because of his unique skills. In the final analysis, this thing is his tool for eating and messing around, how could he sell it?
You can smash anything, but you can't smash your own golden job! People who come out to live a life are even more concerned about this.
Lao Zhang came to his senses at this moment, the big boy in front of him is not waiting for idlers, so he just clasped his fists and said, "Before, my brother was blind and didn't know the true face of the respected guest. If there is something to order , please speak directly."
Fan Wubing smiled and said, "You don't have to worry too much, I'm really here to make a brand, but I have some temporary ideas, I have some business and want to take care of you, with an annual salary of one million, do two things with me. Years, will it work?"
"I can't afford to break the law." As soon as Lao Zhang heard the other party's aura, he knew that he must not agree to this matter, so he made a request weakly.
"Wherever you want to go, it's all serious business, I just need to rely on your skill." Fan Wubing casually took out a business card from his pocket, but after looking at it, he felt that it was his contact information in the United States, so he took out a business card. He came with a signature pen, wrote his contact information on it, then handed it to Lao Zhang, and said, "It's really a serious business, but the profit is huge. Don't get it wrong. I'll wait for you for three days. If you don't come, it's fine." gone."
After finishing speaking, Fan Wubing dropped the tools to Lao Zhang, and then walked away with Feng Nan and Ouyang Xiaowei.
Lao Zhang pondered for a long time with the business card left by Fan Wubing, but still couldn't figure it out, and then he realized, "Hey! These two little girls have taken all my things away!"
It turned out that Feng Nan and Ouyang Xiaowei, under Fan Wubing's tugging, took away the Yushanzi and the ivory pen holder.
"Today's business is really a big loss!" Lao Zhang shook his head with a wry smile, then looked at the business card in his hand, and said to himself, "Go and have a look? I guess it won't be a bad thing! Today's Losses must be recovered!"
Lao Zhang put the business card in his pocket, then turned off the lights, closed the door and left.
The night had already fallen, and the courtyard was plunged into darkness.
