In fact, anyone who plays antiques in Sijiucheng knows that the Crescent Hotel is the place where real connoisseurs stay, and all the antiques they play with are really big items.
Compared with here, Liulichang and Panjiayuan are really just street stalls, full of scammers.
The real business is basically conducted in the theater on the third floor of the Crescent Hotel.
During the Qing Dynasty, this was the place where the eunuchs in the palace traded with foreigners. They had to wear formal clothes when entering and leaving. Over the years, this has become an unspoken rule.
Businessmen and traders who come here to trade must wear formal attire before entering.
No matter how rich you are or how awesome your status is, if you wear big pants, you will not be allowed to enter.
Early in the morning that day, Wu Xie and Fatty came to the door in suits and ties holding invitation letters.
Although Wu Xie is not that kind of handsome man, his figure is within the range of a normal person, even a little thin, and he looks good in a suit.
But Fatty
“Which store made this suit for you? I’ll burn that store down.”
Wu Xie looked at the fat man's dress and complained.
The fat man's suit was extremely ill-fitting and one size too small. In order to prevent his general belly from being exposed, the fat man was holding his breath from beginning to end.
The tie was hung randomly around the neck, like a fried dough stick.
The whole person is nondescript, especially compared to the looky-looking people in suits and ties at the door. It's really embarrassing.
At the very least, if Wu Xie had no choice, he really didn’t want to come here with the fat man.
It's so embarrassing!
Wu Xie heard the low laughter of the young lady wearing a dress passing by.
The whole image was ruined by the fat man.
"It's none of my business. You fat man, I've been feeling a little better lately. My mother bought this suit. It was just right a year ago."
"What size suit should we wear? For our freedom, if I am willing to wear children's clothes, even if we, Hu Ming, are here, they are not allowed to let us in?"
The fat man didn't feel comfortable being wrapped up, so he muttered.
"Yes! You are right, then you go ahead."
Wu Xie had no intention of talking nonsense with him. He had a bad premonition in his heart, and he felt more and more that the old Wu family His reputation may be ruined in his hands today.
"You two, please come inside. The second master has already arranged seats for you."
A man wearing a decent cheongsam slowly walked out of the Crescent Hotel with an impeccable expression. Looking at the two people with a smile.
Sheng Shengman has received professional training. Under normal circumstances, she will never laugh at the distinguished guests who come to the door.
Especially since this is the distinguished guest that Hu Ming has warned.
Even if you really can't help it, Shou Sheng will still hold back your smile in your heart.
"Where is Uncle? I want to meet him."
Wu Xie raised his eyebrows, trying to dig out some inside information from Sheng Shengman.
"I'm sorry, Young Master, the Second Master and the young lady are busy now. There is a very troublesome customer and I'm afraid I don't have time to receive you."
"But please don't worry, the Second Master has already given instructions. Both of you are distinguished guests of our Crescent Hotel, and all purchases are made in the name of the second master." Sheng Sheng slowly walked the two of them through the door, took the elevator to the third floor, and explained softly.
Wu Xie made an appointment to meet here, but so far, there is still no trace of the mysterious buyer who wants to acquire the structure diagram of the style mine.
We had no choice but to follow Hu Ming’s arrangement and follow the sound slowly.
This was Wu Xie's first time here, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Getting on the elevator to the third floor, you can see gorgeous Chinese-style interiors everywhere, with antique ornaments and carved windows, doors and screens everywhere.
Looking carefully, these ornaments are all genuine antiques!
Most of them are porcelain from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Wu Xie even saw some grand porcelains. An old thing from the Tang Dynasty!
“…Hiss, is the Yin family so wealthy?”
Along the way, they were all genuine, and none of them were old fakes!
Looking at these things, Wu Xie took a breath and couldn't help but sigh.
The value of these things combined is already an astronomical figure!
It is hard to imagine how rich the assets of the Yin family, which has stood in Sijiu City for hundreds of years, are.
At least, Wu Xie is sure that their old Wu family will definitely not be able to compare.
"Or is it that the Crescent Hotel is the most high-end place in the antique trading business in the Four-Nine City? Even my dad's Treasure Pavilion is still inferior to this place!"
"Innocent, I'll tell you the truth. , some of your Laojiu Sect’s transactions involving larger amounts are conducted here. In the entire Sijiu City, you can’t find a higher-end trading place than here.”
The fat man couldn’t help but sigh.
In short, the Crescent Hotel is extremely luxurious and is the favorite place for the upper class in the entire Forty-Nine City.
In response, the voice smiled slowly and said nothing.
In fact, strictly speaking, the Crescent Hotel has been inherited for a long time, and the change of dynasties will not affect the transcendent status of the Forty-Nine City, even the rise of the Treasure Pavilion in recent years.
Over the past hundreds of years, what kind of trouble has the Crescent Hotel not seen?
Compared with the Crescent Hotel, the entire nine doors...
If the Crescent Hotel is a heritage If it is a long-term noble, then the entire Jiumen really feels like a nouveau riche.
During the Republic of China, Jiumen rose quickly and could be described as an upstart at the time, but they declined even faster!
The entire Jiumen has only flourished for less than half a century. At the beginning of the new society, in order to have a legal identity and not be liquidated for being a tomb robber, it can be said that a huge price was paid.
Nowadays, Hu Ming really doesn’t think highly of Jiumen.
Because although today's Zhenpin Pavilion is still not as good as the Crescent Hotel, it is still not as good as the Crescent Hotel in Sijiu City! Although it was established late, there are many treasures inside, and it responds to various national policies and has developed very well in recent years with the support of the country!
As for Jiumen, until now, there are still some so-called fools who cling to their family wealth, show off their power, and hope to carry forward the family industry.
What kind of era is this, and you still want to make a living in this profession?
It's fine if you are a lone ranger, but if you fight as a family unit?
Stop it, let's get married in the 21st century!
Society is gradually stabilizing, and the law is gradually improving. As long as there are big shots Targeting the nine gates, does the nine gates still want to survive?
Dreaming!
Although "he" has been persecuting Jiumen for so many years, in a certain way, "he" needs Jiumen, so why is it that Jiumen is here? , the upper protective umbrella?
Now, "he" has been injured, Jiumen still wants to make a living by fighting upside down?
Take jujube pills.
Remember, China is the country of the world. In front of the state machine, the so-called fighting families are just chickens and dogs.
Why does Wu Laogou want to whitewash the Wu family?
First, it is forced by the situation, and second, Wu Laogou has seen through the inevitability of social development. In the new era, there is really no The soil where tomb robbers live.
Therefore, if today's Jiumen insists on fighting upside down and does not change their profession, it will be completely ruined sooner or later.
The Wu family, the Hong family, the Huo family, and the Xie family have done a good job in this regard. They started the family transformation early, put aside the shady business, and ran a serious business...
