Chapter 40
After repairing the Yuan Dynasty Fengshou flat pot and several old folding fans, Li Ling was very satisfied with the customers and often praised his skills to his peers.
It gradually spread.
There are no eternal friends or eternal enemies in the world, only eternal interests.
Li Ling has good skills and fair prices. Compared to traveling thousands of miles to the Imperial Capital or the Magic City, spending a higher price to enjoy the same level of service, more people are more willing to go to Li Ling’s restoration center.
Without the fatigue of travel, the antiques of sitting down to drink tea and chat will be restored to their original state. Why not do it?
With more and more customers, Li Ling gradually integrated into the antique market. The shop owners seemed to have forgotten everything that happened before and no longer deliberately alienated the restoration center.
Li Ling gradually became busy, and of course he would not let Liu Guang be idle, and he would do the rough work such as coming and going, cleaning the hall, even serving tea and water.
This day.
When Li Ling was serving a Ming Dynasty Golden Buddha, an old man in his fifties came in. The old man was wearing a suit, wearing a tie, and carrying a valuable laptop in his hand. He was quite fashionable and he liked to dress up. He was probably no worse than a young man in his twenties.
The old man walked to Li Ling and smiled and said, "You are Boss Li. My surname is Hu, Hu Tian. I want to invite you to come to my place to see if my Ming Dynasty purple clay teapot is of value for restoration."
Hu Tian said as he opened the notebook and showed Li Ling a few pictures, which showed several pieces of purple clay teapot.
Hu Tian said again: "It's this purple clay teapot. I should have brought it to you, but I'm afraid of losing it on the road. If you lose one piece again, you can't even make up for it. Please bring the repair tools to me. Boss Li, don't worry, I won't let you suffer any loss in terms of price!"
"But I have always only been doing home-based business..." Li Ling hesitated.
He left, and the restoration business would stagnate. This guy Liu Guang only knows about cultural relics appreciation and knows nothing about restoration.
"Li Ling, this boss Hu Tian is also a regular visitor to the antique market. He used to visit Gu Yunzhai. We helped him a lot this time. Are you still afraid that Boss Hu will not appreciate the glory in the future?" Liu Guang said in the foreword. He seemed to be an old acquaintance with Hu Tian.
"certainly!"
"I will definitely come to you if I have any objects to repair in the future!"
"I originally wanted to bring the purple clay teapot next time I arrived in the Magic City. Since Boss Li can repair it, I will save the trouble!"
Hu Tian hurriedly agreed, cooperating with Liu Guang, hoping that Li Ling could agree to his request.
Li Ling observed carefully and confirmed that the purple clay teapot in the photo may have been from the Ming Dynasty and replied slowly: "I can go with Boss Hu, but looking at the picture, the purple clay teapot is so broken that it can be repaired as before, I can't guarantee it!"
From Li Ling's perspective, it is easy to see that the fragments in the photo are not enough to be repaired and become a complete kettle. Repairing and imitating fakes are just a line of separation, and Li Ling doesn't want to do anything that goes against the principles.
Hu Tian nodded and agreed, saying that he would not make it difficult for Li Ling to do it.
"That's all!" Liu Guang happily prepared the tools and came over with his backpack in a short while.
He said he would go to repair the purple clay teapot with Li Ling.
Liu Guang quickly locked the door and hung the sign "The owner has something to do, and the business will be suspended" in the most conspicuous place.
"Let's go over!" Hu Tian made a "please" gesture and took the lead in getting into a luxury car in front of the door.
Li Ling's eyes lit up. As expected, those who can play with antiques have some money in their hands. As long as they help repair the purple clay teapot, Hu Tian will definitely be generous in his actions.
The car left the antique market and headed eastward. It stopped at a nearby crafts yard.
Liu Guang muttered in Li Ling's ear: "Hu Tian is the boss of this craft farm. He has money in his hand, so he will definitely not lose money to us!"
Under Hu Tian's leadership, he entered the craft yard. He took Li Ling and the other two into a reception room, poured a glass of boiling water for them, and told them to sit down and said, "The factory is in a serious place, the conditions are simple, and I feel wronged!"
"Don't feel wronged, don't feel wronged!" Liu Guang sat down with a smile.
Li Ling looked at the surrounding environment and found that the reception room was filled with various wood carvings and glazed products, and a silver-white spear more than one meter long was placed on a wooden shelf nearby.
"This spear..."
Li Ling's pupils shrank as if he saw something terrible.
He knew very well that the spear was very similar to the spear in the hands of the Skeleton Lord he had seen, and they might all come from the Skeleton Lord.
"It seems that Hu Tian, the owner of the craft factory, is not simple either!" Li Ling thought.
"Why, Boss Li likes crafts, too?" Hu Tian sat down on the sofa opposite the two, without mentioning the restoration of cultural relics at all. He promised Li Ling: "When you go back later, you can take two crafts away each, which is my little wish!"
This is an unexpected gain!
Liu Guang thanked Hu Tian repeatedly. The handicrafts in the living room were all fine products. Boss Hu’s proud work was worth no more than 100 yuan.
Li Ling did not comment and sat slowly on the sofa. He had already become cautious about Hu Tian.
This person is not simple.
Seeing Liu Guang's actions, Hu Tian nodded and continued to ask Li Ling: "I heard that you are the developer of Hanzhi Dan and Anti-Vaccine No. 1, and have a deep relationship with Xianke Company. I don't know if you can help get some medicines. For such a large factory, preventive measures must be taken. If the people under your command are infected with corpse poison, it will be troublesome!"
"That's it!" Li Ling replied truthfully: "Hanzhi Dan and Anti-Drug No. 1 have already begun mass production through clinical trials. If you need it, Boss Hu can go to the hospital and pharmacy to buy it directly. Where can I contact Xianke Company? There is no need for me to talk to you."
How many workers are there in the craft farm, thirty or fifty, even if they have hundreds of workers, there is no need to contact Xianke Company directly.
Li Ling actually rejected his request in disguise!
Hu Tian's face turned red and he pondered: "I want a lot of medicines, but it's not me, but a friend of mine!"
Hu Tian called in front of Li Ling and said, "Boss Li, wait first, my friend will come over immediately!"
Within a few minutes.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then two foreigners came in, one with long hair, blue eyes, and one with a short body, covering their whole body in a black robe.
He is actually an acquaintance!
Li Ling knew these two people. Isn’t the leader Jack who once went to Xianke Company to want to import medicines?
Based on the news heard from Ding Lijun, Li Ling believed that this guy was probably Jack, a big smuggler.
"Mr. Li, I'm glad to meet you again!" Jack looked very happy and wanted to hug Li Ling when he came over.
Li Ling turned around and avoided it. He said coldly: "I didn't expect that Boss Hu knew you, but I still said that Hanzhi Pill and Anti-Drug No. 1 can only be sold in China, and they cannot be exported!"
Li Ling knew Jack's intention, so he would not allow such a thing to happen unless the two antidotes were too numerous to be used up in China.
"Mr. Li, calm down! Everything can be discussed. My boss has enough sincerity. What do you want? Even if you speak, money or beauty?" The man in black robe behind Jack spoke, and a harsh and stiff Chinese came out of his mouth: "If you want money, you can do whatever you want. If you want beauty, Chinese, Japanese, European and American beauties, as long as you speak, you will put the beauty on your bed tonight!"
"Yes, Oliver said it right. I do have enough sincerity!" Jack sat down next to Hu Tian and persuaded: "Mr. Li, if you want, I will apply for a US/National Green Card for you, which can allow you to live happily in any country in the world. How about it, think about it!"
Jack took out a cigar, Hu Tian lit it for him tactfully, and the smuggler took a pleasant breath, and the smoke slowly dissipated.
In Jack's eyes, everything can be solved with money.
Li Ling rejected him before because this little guy didn't know what he could do.
Isn’t this what money, beauty, status, and life are all about?
Jack is very confident and he can satisfy everything Li Ling wants.
silence.
The entire reception room suddenly calmed down.
Liu Guang and Hu Tian were panting, looking at Li Ling with envious and jealous eyes, and there was a hint of undetectable hatred in Liu Guang's eyes.
"You can give me all the money, beauty, status?" Li Ling slowly stood up and looked at Jack, sneering, "So what, do you think you will take me? I will say it solemnly, no matter how much money I have, I will never allow these two drugs to be sold to other countries, even if you give me more money!"
"Unreasonable!"
"It's just a quest for death!"
Jack and Oliver, the man in black, were furious and stared at Li Ling fiercely.
If Li Ling had the ability to kill someone with a vision, he would have died ten thousand times long ago.
"Anyway, it's all about making money. Whoever's money is not profitable, just promise to sell the money to Jack!" Surprisingly, Liu Guang actually spoke for Jack.
"Shut up, it's not your turn to do labor and capital to point your fingers!" Li Ling did not give Liu Guang any face. Such a person is just a mother with breasts, so there is no need to be polite to talk to him.
"You..." Liu Guangqi laughed backwards, stood up and licked a big face and smiled: "Mr. Jack, my boss asked me to give you a message. He was ready to sell all the antiques from Gu Yunzhai to you. Unfortunately, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway, and the evil star Li Ling did a good thing. If he failed to plan, Gu Yunzhai and his men were in the bureau!"
"Boss Jack, you want to live for us. I am the boss's person. Cooperating with the police in handling the case is just an excuse. Just to pass on a message for our boss. He was defeated unjustly. No one expected that the huge Gu Yunzhai would be destroyed in the hands of a student. Mr. Jack, you want to avenge us!"
