Chapter Eleven Who is a Horse?

At the entrance of the alley in Old Peking City, an old man wearing round sunglasses and a blue coat was sitting on the ground, drinking with the little boy twelve or three years old in front of him while wearing peanuts.

The old man has a long hair and a childish face, and looks like a fairy-like and a genius. The boy wearing shabby clothes in front of him has a pretended old-fashioned look.

"Old man, you have prepared good wine and food for you. You should tell me how you lied to others, right?" The young Li Ming was not patient. Seeing that the old man had drunk wine, he hurriedly urged.

"When I heard about beer and a pack of peanuts, this is also a good wine and dish?" The old man laughed angry at Li Ming, so he blew his beard and said, "I said, why don't you know how to respect the elderly and love the young at all?"

"Tsk, you are an old liar, I am a little hooligan. It is not appropriate to say the word respect from us." Li Ming looked at the old man with contempt, reached out to grab the last bit of beer and took a sip, and then said, "Besides, I will give you all my belongings. If you don't bring out some real goods, I will really be reluctant."

The old man reached out to wipe the wine stains on his beard, and smiled and said, "What can you not let go? Anyway, my wine has been tricked."

Seeing this old man who was not stingy and acting like a scoundrel, Li Ming, who was still childish, suddenly fell off his face and was extremely angry.

It was really a rainy day. I wanted to learn the clips of the novel and learn some deceitful methods to see if I could ask for some good meals, but I didn't expect this old liar to be a scoundrel!

Damn it! Just think of it as if you stepped on the old and smelly shit!

Just as Li Ming stopped the loss in time and turned his head decisively to leave, the old man's leisurely voice came from behind.

"There are twenty-four types of fraud in the world. Among them, [stripping and defrauding] is the most common among single people. Now I will tell you a story about [fake horses taking off satin]..."

At any time when the old man's voice fell, an ancient story appeared before Li Ming.

There is a horse dealer named Chen Qing in Jiangxi who often sells horses on Sanshan Street in Cheng'en Temple in Nanjing.

One day, just as he was buying a horse, a luxuriously dressed young man suddenly moved here with an exquisite paper umbrella.

The young master fell in love with these good horses at first sight. After stopping to watch for a long time, he asked Chen Qing, "How to sell this horse?"

Since this is a batch of good silver horses, the price is naturally high, Chen Qing immediately revealed a high price of 40 taels of silver.

After hearing the price, the young master said happily, "I want this horse, but it's hard for me to ride back alone. In addition, I don't have that much money, please go with me to get it."

Chen Qing did not doubt that he was there, so he led his horse to follow the young master.

When we arrived on the way, we encountered a silk and satin farm. The young master got off the horse and put the umbrella aside the winery film, asked Chen Qing to help him watch the umbrella, and said that he would buy two batches of silk and satin by himself, and then go back together.

The young master entered the silk shop and deliberately bargained with the store. In the end, the store was annoyed by him and said that he didn't understand the goods. So the young master said, "I'll show it to a person who knows the industry and come and agree on the price immediately."

The silk boss said: "Who do you show such a good product? But you can't go far."

The young master pointed out outside the door and said, "My companion and horse are all outside, what are you worried about?" After that, he walked out with silk. The shopkeeper saw that horse and his companion were waiting outside the door, so he felt relieved without thinking too much.

At the end of the story, the young master naturally went away forever, leaving the silk boss and Chen Qing to fight together.

······

Almost thirty years have passed, and Li Ming can still clearly remember how shocking he was when he heard this story.

When buying a horse, it is not a horse. In fact, it is necessary to use a horse to make a umbrella and put on satin, which is the art of removing satin.

"What? Ten paintings?!" Uesugi Chie blurted out in disbelief.

Li Ming nodded and said confidently,

"Yes, but although your paintings are good, they are not worth it now.

You have to know that I am a businessman and a secondly collector who loves oil paintings. I will collect your paintings at this price this time. One painting is 5,000, and I want ten paintings, which is 50,000 yuan."

After a pause, Li Ming stretched out a finger and smiled slightly and said, "But I have a request..."

"What's the requirement? You said?" The 50,000 yuan is not a small amount for Uesugi Chi, so the latter swallowed his saliva hard and said.

Lee Ming paused and continued, "Although your paintings are good overall, they are too bad in terms of the quality of the paint and the canvas.

I will pay you a deposit of 5,000 yuan in advance. If you buy some good materials, how about I want ten new works in one month?"

Money is one aspect. The sense of gain of being recognized makes Uesugi Chie less hesitant, and nodded fiercely and said, "No problem."

After seeing that Uesugi Chien agreed, Li Ming took out his wallet from his pocket, opened it in front of Uesugi Chien, and then pretended to be suddenly discovered. He slapped his head and said, "Uh, I don't carry that much cash on my body. How much is your account? Will I transfer it to you?"

The previous information has already stated in detail: Uesugi Chih's life is monotonous, he pays a daily salary, and is very simple, so he does not open a bank account.

"I... don't have a bank account..." Chiang Uesugi rubbed his face that had recovered his complexion and said embarrassedly.

After Li Ming took the wallet, he showed an incredible expression and said with a smile, "This is not possible. I am just visiting my friends here, and I will not only buy paintings from you once, unless you don't draw them in the future..."

How could Uesugi Chi, who regards painting as life, give up his faith? So he immediately retorted, "How is it possible? I absolutely cannot give up!"

"Then I can't give you cash in the future." Li Ming shrugged and said, "This won't work."

"Then I... go and do it now." Uesugi Chi, who was handed to his mouth by Li Ming, said subconsciously.

After getting what he wanted, Li Ming thought about it and suddenly realized, "After you said this, I suddenly remembered that I also knew a banker. It can save a lot of time when I was there. It is inconvenient for your legs and feet. I have nothing to do now. After signing the contract, why don't I go with you?"

Use deposit as an umbrella.

Li Ming made a game of the colorful characters.

Using reputation as quality, I cheated the 50,000 yuan loan from a small bank as silk and satin!

Looking at Uesugi Chih, who was already painting on the stall in front of him, Li Ming's mouth slightly raised.
