Chapter 318 Tianguangxu
Wu Wenrou enjoyed the meal very much.
She really liked Guangzhou and the food here was very much to her liking. This made Wu Wenrou a little confused and she didn't know when she could come again.
However, after eating for a while, Wu Wenrou found that Zhu Suisui stopped eating and started chatting with people at the next table.
Wu Wenrou immediately slowed down her movements and remained alert at all times.
There was a broker at the next table.
What is a broker?
That's selling information. Whatever you want, he can tell you where you can find it.
A trader, on the other hand, has goods on hand and can sell them to you.
It sounds similar, but still different.
A pawnbroker sells things himself, while a broker earns commissions by relying on his own personal connections and information. Zhu Suisui is naturally looking for a broker.
At first I was just chatting with people.
The broker was about forty years old, thin and shrewd, and spoke with a strong Guangzhou dialect.
Zhu Suisui couldn't speak Guangzhou dialect, so he spoke to people in Beijing dialect.
When people heard that he was from the old city, they took him seriously.
There are regional differences no matter which region you go to.
Locals of Taipei will receive more care no matter where they go.
Zhu Suisui smiled and said, "I am also here to play in Guangzhou. I will be back in a few days. My grandfather is going to have a birthday at home, so I thought of coming to Guangzhou to see if there is anything good to buy back."
"A beautiful girl from the old city is always filial." The broker replied with a smile in accented Mandarin.
People in their line of work usually speak Guangzhou dialect in Guangzhou, but when talking to outsiders, they have to learn Mandarin, otherwise how can they make money?
Not to mention that Guangzhou has the largest number of outsiders.
The broker asked, "What do you want to give as a gift, pretty girl? I have everything here, but if it works out, you have to pay for the morning tea."
Zhu Suisui nodded, "I know the rules. We all come here to make a living. The weather in Guangzhou is so hot. How can I let you take my sister and me on this trip for nothing?"
It's also my fault that the other party can't help but call her a beautiful girl.
Zhu Sui's disguise at this moment can be called a woman, but it cannot be called a beauty.
It's really not easy to do this job.
The broker was very satisfied to see Zhu Suisui being so tactful. He lowered his voice and said, "If you want those fake goods, I have them here too. Don't worry, they are all obtained through legitimate channels."
It's not that the broker is too trusting to others and even exposed the smuggled goods, but it's like this in Guangzhou. There are too many smugglers and it's impossible to catch them all. The management in Guangzhou is also very chaotic. Some people have been bribed. Everyone turns a blind eye to this matter, so it's normal to say these things here.
Wherever there is profit, there are people fighting for it.
Zhu Suisui found it funny, they were all counterfeit goods, how could they be regular or not?
Or they are held back by customs and then sold at a low price.
If this is the case, Zhu Suisui would be somewhat interested.
But she suppressed this thought. This was not a job suitable for her now. She would have to work with this broker for a while.
Zhu Suisui said: "My old man doesn't like anything else but old stuff."
Old stuff?
The broker suddenly realized, "I see, I see, it's just an antique, right? I also have a channel for this. What do you want? I'll find it for you."
"There's nothing specific, but the older the better. If the item is good, price is not a problem," Zhu Suisui replied.
Coming from the old city, the broker naturally doesn't think he has no power.
He was very excited and wanted to take people to see the goods.
Seeing this, Zhu Suisui said, "Uncle, this is what I think. Guangzhou is so big, there must be a place that specializes in selling these things. You take me to this place. Whether it succeeds or not, I will give you this amount. Just consider it as giving me face and giving me the opportunity to invite you for tea."
She stretched out her hand and gestured.
Two big reunions.
Twenty bucks for information?
The broker thought it was possible, as it would only take a short trip.
Zhu Suisui really asked the right person. As a local, there was nothing he didn't know. And since he could be a broker, the connections and relationships he had should not be underestimated.
Such a person.
Zhu Suisui naturally wanted to make more friends.
The other party thought Zhu Suisui was very sensible and looked even more amiable.
Wu Wenrou was confused as she listened to this, but she probably knew that they had to leave, so she quickly ate the remaining barbecued pork buns.
There was a large table of food, but Zhu Suisui didn't eat much. Fortunately, the food was not wasted and all went into Wu Wenrou's stomach.
The broker walked in front.
Wu Wenrou and Zhu Suisui followed behind.
She asked in a low voice, "Sister Sui, who is this person? We just followed him and left. Could he be a bad guy?"
"This is called a broker, which is the kind of person who sells information. If the deal is done, you get a commission. We can't come to Guangzhou without success, so we might as well buy some goods while we're here." Zhu Suisui explained.
In a place like Guangzhou, the antique market is probably not small, but we have to prevent fakes, as it is still possible to produce counterfeits here.
Zhu Suisui is not worried about this.
She wanted to find the largest antique market in Guangzhou through a broker, and then see if she could come across the batch of goods from her previous life.
Wu Wenrou seemed to understand, but she didn't need to understand. She just had to listen to Zhu Suisui.
If the broker was a bad guy, Wu Wenrou could beat him so that he would not dare to do bad things.
In the face of absolute strength, there is no need to consider having bad intentions.
This antique market is really hard to find.
Along the way.
The broker talked freely, "This place is called Tianguang Market, also known as Heng Market. Do you know what it means? In Yangcheng dialect, 'market' means market, and the market is called 'Chen Market'."
Zhu Suisui feels that the money is well worth it.
The other party then helped her find places and acted as a tour guide for her, which saved her a lot of effort and she also heard a lot of stories.
for example.
This place is called Tianguangxu. Its most glorious time was in the late Qing Dynasty. It was a chaotic time with wars everywhere. During the Eight-Power Allied Forces Rebellion, the warlords were in chaos. Ancient cultural relics began to flow from the palace and wealthy families into the private sector. Some businessmen secretly transported these goods to Guangzhou, intending to export them from here.
And this Tianguang Market became a distribution center for antiques at that time.
Now that it is open to the public, it has started to revive. Although it is unknown whether the good things handed down from before are still there, this place still has the reputation it once had, and it still attracts countless antique lovers, so this place is still bustling.
Sell everything.
There is nothing this place doesn't have, except what you can't think of.
After listening to all this, Zhu Suisui felt that even if he didn't come across that batch of goods, the trip would not be in vain and he would probably gain a lot.
The broker's surname was Long, and everyone else called him Uncle Long.
After he finished speaking, he said, "If you don't like it here, I'll find a seller for you later. I guarantee they'll all be good items."
