Chapter 103 Antique Appraisal Meeting (2700)
"How is it here? It's just a little remote."
Matthew pointed to a single-family house in front of him and said.
Kaxiu got out of the car and looked up. This house occupied a large area. There is a low gray wall outside, and the door is a dark cast iron gate. Next to the iron gate, a shiny metal mailbox stood on the ground.
The three of them quickly walked closer and saw a stone road extending from the door to the front of the house. Pushing open the iron gate and walking in, a medium-sized courtyard comes into view. At the edge is a green meadow, mixed with flower beds and a few ornamental trees.
In the middle of the courtyard, a mountain-shaped three-story building is shrouded in the halo of dusk. The color of the tiles is a mix of several warm colors.
Ka Xiu nodded slightly. He liked the brown-red mansard roof of this house very much, which gave people a warm feeling.
"The owner of this house is moving to Donghai County recently. Since he is in a hurry, the price is much cheaper. They should be planning to sell it quickly in the near future, so this whole house only costs 150,000 Hong Kong dollars. currency."
Matthew was beside him, making introductions as he walked.
Ka Xiu nodded, obviously satisfied with this.
"Oh, by the way, there seems to be a pretty big basement here. Their house used to be used as a warehouse. It should be good for you to scan and clean it up." Matthew said.
Next, Cardiff also heard Matthew talk about some of the shortcomings of this building. It's relatively remote, with few neighbors, not very convenient transportation, and is a bit far from the downtown area of Shirakawa.
Card Xiu didn't care after hearing this. He happened to need a quiet environment, and having fewer neighbors around him was an advantage. As for transportation, the distance from Jessica's apartment where he lived to Hongta Street was not much closer than the distance from this house to Hongta Street now. Moreover, the house in front of me is still within the city limits, and you can reach the station just a few hundred meters away.
Next, the three of them walked into the house and took a look.
Card Xiu felt that the layout inside was also good, so he immediately decided that this was the house, and thanked Matthew again by the way.
"Thank you very much."
"It doesn't matter, we are all friends." Matthew said with a smile.
The two of them were indeed friends now.
Card Xiu saved Matthew's younger brother. Matthew helped Card Xiu find out about coin antiques and the origin of bluegrass. Now he also helped Card Xiu find a house that suits his taste. You help me, and I'll help you back and forth. If you contact me a few times, you'll get familiar with me.
Standing in the empty living room, Matthew said: "I have some connections with decoration companies and furniture companies here, which are absolutely reliable. I will tell you their contact addresses and report my name when the time comes, and they will definitely give you a Discounted price.”
Next, the two walked out of the room and chatted in the yard for a while. Matthew revealed that there was news about the Crown Cross coin that Cassius asked him to find some time ago. Tomorrow the city museum in the central district will hold a White Rose Antique Appraisal Meeting, which is a comprehensive exchange meeting held by the foreign White Rose Antique Company.
It is said that it is a very famous sign in the entire six eastern counties. The appraisal meeting includes antique exhibitions, charity donations, antique auctions, exchange dinners and other forms. It is not an ordinary antique exhibition, it is said to be a new concept learned from abroad.
The Crown Cross Star coin that Cardiff wanted was placed in the antique exhibition hall, not just one, but more than a hundred. It was collected by White Rose Antique Company. It may not have much antique collection value now, but it is still enough to support the scene.
By chance, Matthew, as the general manager of Kangnan Company, received an invitation to take Cassius to the antique exhibition.
Hearing the news, Ka Xiu was also a little moved. For him, antique exhibitions are a good place, with so many antiques piled together densely. Maybe one or two items contain the energy of obsession, and there is always a way to steal or buy them when the time comes.
For Cardiff, what worries him is not how to obtain the obsessive antique but how to find the obsessive antique. In the past, I could only wander around in major antique stores like a blind cat trying to kill a mouse.
Now there is a better opportunity in front of me and I naturally agree.
Three minutes later.
"Then, see you tomorrow."
Matthew stood at the door, with Phil on his left.
"Uh..." Card Xiu hesitated.
Matthew smiled and patted his hat: "Get in the car."
Ka Xiu shook his head, then opened the car door and got in.
Matthew had just made a joke, so naturally he couldn't let himself sleep in this empty building for one night.
After sitting back softly, Kaxiu crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes.
He could feel the kindness expressed by Matthew. He wanted to make friends with him, otherwise he wouldn't have to go to such great lengths to help.
And I also need the other person’s connections.
Everyone gets what they need and they hit it off, which is great.
Ten minutes later, at the door of Jessica's apartment on Citi Street.
Ka Xiu opened the car door and got out, rolling down the glass window on the left side of the car. Phil waved gently: "See you tomorrow, coach."
"See you tomorrow." Ka Xiu turned and walked towards the apartment.
The next day, Phil just came to class carrying his schoolbag.
Milo pulled him aside with a mysterious look on his face and said in a very solemn and solemn tone: "I won't practice sword practice anymore!"
"???" Phil's eyes widened: "Why?"
"I want to practice boxing!" Milo smiled proudly, and then told Phil about what happened at dusk yesterday in a more elaborate way. Then he crossed his arms and had a cold expression on his face.
"Awesome! Did you really beat the shit out of those three gangsters?" Phil said in a very timely manner.
"Then it's still fake? Look what this is." Milo pulled Phil to the corner and mysteriously put his hand into his trouser pocket.
"Damn, you're so horny in broad daylight!"
Phil was shocked.
"What are you thinking about? Look at the treasure in my hand!" Milo shook the heavy thing in his hand, and it turned out to be a folding knife.
The three gangsters were running so fast last night that they had no time to pick up the folding knife on the ground, so Mino naturally took it away. He took the folding knife home as a trophy.
"Awesome, you really beat three of them and ran away with them all!"
Phil immediately gave a thumbs up. He was also deeply influenced by the recently popular comic Captain Red Li and admired superheroes.
"But then again, why are you stuffing a knife in your crotch?"
Phil looked at his friend Milo suspiciously.
"Ahem, isn't this something you carry with you?"
"Besides, it's not like I stuffed it in my underwear."
The pockets on Milo's clothes were very shallow, and only a long pocket on the inside of his trousers could hold a folding knife. In the past, this pocket was used to store pocket money to prevent loss or theft.
Now it has become the scabbard of a folding knife.
Two gay friends were chatting in the corner, and the topic gradually shifted to the recent internal competition ranking of the school's fighting club.
Phil said he wanted to try out and see how his strength improved. Milo plans to quit the kendo club and apply to join the fighting club in a few days, or simply have no club status.
Anyway, he had strengthened his belief after yesterday.
If you want to learn real skills, look for Coach Levi!
It can be seen that after learning kendo for two or three years, a wooden sword was kicked away by a gangster, which was a big blow to Milo.
"Dingling bell..." The crisp bell rang.
A big hand clicked on the metal alarm clock.
Card Xiu stood up quickly and glanced at the alarm clock: 7:05.
The routine has been adjusted back again.
He brushed his teeth, washed his face, and made breakfast as usual, but this time Kaxiu did not take a medicinal bath with hot water from a medicinal bag. Because Matthew told him last night that the White Rose Antique Appraisal Meeting was very early, he was afraid that he would not have time to exercise in the morning.
Twenty minutes later, Ka Xiu drank the last sip of milk.
He opened the window and looked outside, but the car hadn't arrived yet.
He turned around and glanced at the black bag beside the sofa.
As always, place four antiques on the coffee table.
He reached out his hand and gently put it on it. Suddenly, a cool feeling lingered in his palm and penetrated into his skin bit by bit. Card Xiu touched all four antiques and looked at the upper right corner.
The energy of obsession has increased by 0.1.
"Obsession Energy: 3.8"
Today is the second day, and the energy can still be restored.
"If it lasts for five days, it will be equivalent to buying an obsessive antique for nothing..." Card Xiu took the thing back with satisfaction.
"Dududu..."
Suddenly there was a series of dull horn sounds outside.
Ka Xiu looked to the window and saw a long car parked on the side of the road. He immediately put on the formal jacket on the sofa, picked up the pocket watch pendant on the coffee table, and walked downstairs quickly.
"Here we come." Ka Xiu strode toward the car.
The driver's seat window was rolled down, and in addition to Matthew's handsome face, there was also a cold side profile in the passenger seat.
There was a beautiful black-haired lady sitting there.
The big and charming eyes looked over, their eyes deep.
The black tear mole at the narrow corner of the eye is very eye-catching.
"Levi, let me introduce you, this person is Violet."
My work and rest in the underworld these past few days have been too difficult, causing me to feel depressed all day long. Today I finished writing a chapter and went to bed first, adjusted my work and rest schedule, and will work hard again tomorrow. I will update a lot starting from tomorrow. I will try my best to get at least 6,000 per day and strive for 8,000. I also hope that everyone will continue to read more. Recently, the reading has been the same.
(Strive not to update in the underworld)
