Fat Liu felt very regretful when he saw the two of them leaving. He persuaded them to stay for a long time, and even after the two of them had left, he still sighed and said, "It's such a pity that we can't cooperate with the two teachers!"
Gui Rongjiu laughed and comforted her: "There will be a lot of chances in the future. When we return this time, if we are able to reach an agreement here, we will definitely return."
The Fat Liu said helplessly: "Alright then, we'll see when the time comes."
Yang Bo bid farewell to Gui and Mei Er, gave them his blessings, and sent them off to the carriage.
Just as the car left, Fat Liu hastily said: "Quick, let's go to Potsdam!"
"Potsdam?" Yang Bo was a little surprised.
"Of course, to the Chinese Collector. He lives in Potsdam!" The Fat Liu explained.
Potsdam, located in the southwest suburb of Berlin, by the Havel River, was the venue of the famous Potsdam Conference at the end of World War II. The ancient capital of Potsdam was surrounded by the Elbe, the Havre, and numerous lakes and forests.
It was only half an hour before they arrived at Potsdam on the high-speed train from Berlin. They took a taxi and headed for the suburbs.
Half of Potsdam was filled with hotels, casinos, musicians, and shopping malls. The nearby park had fountains, boulevards, benches, and, at the end of the line of sight, palaces and ruins.
When they reached the outskirts, Yang Bo asked the Fat Liu: "What does the other party do?"
"Collector." Fat Liu said.
Yang Bo was surprised, "Specialized collection?"
"I heard so, but I don't think it's very likely. It's not often that we can have professional collections in the country, let alone collect Chinese cultural relics abroad." Fat Liu said.
"In other words, you don't understand the situation either?" Yang Bo looked over.
"You can't exactly say that, I still have some information. That guy came to Germany in the 1980s to be a chef, and after a few years of work, he opened his own restaurant. After that, the business became more and more hot, and opened two chains."
"After opening the chain store, he gave the business to his son to take care of. When he was free, he started to make his own collection. Speaking of which, he had only made his collection for more than ten years, but he had already accumulated more than a thousand items!"
Yang Bo was surprised, only an expert like him would understand, for a person with over 1000 of these, there were too many of them. He looked towards the Fat Liu and saw that he was smiling. He could not help but ask, "Since you are clear about this situation, what is the name of the other party?"
"Liu Jiajun." Fat Liu said.
Yang Bo paused, "Is it related to you?"
"By the looks of it, we still haven't given you five sets of clothes. You can say that we're distant cousins." The Fat Liu explained.
Yang Bo laughed, "Uncle in the distance, no wonder you were able to contact the Collector in Germany, you're so powerful!"
As they spoke, the carriage stopped and paid the driver's fare. Yang Bo got off the carriage and saw a white villa not far away, which was small and exquisite. The villa was surrounded by a white wooden fence for a week, and there were fruit trees and vegetables in the courtyard.
Fat Liu took out his phone and made a call. Very soon, a person walked out from the villa. This person was in his sixties or seventies, his hair was gray.
Fat Liu hurriedly went over to welcome him. He found it hard to believe: "You're Uncle Jun?"
Liu Jiajun stared at Fat Liu, he was surprised, "You are Family Chang's child?"
Fat Liu hurriedly nodded, "Uncle, it's me!"
Liu Jiajun actually held onto Fat Liu tightly as tears flowed down from his eyes.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Yang Bo was extremely shocked. Looking at Liu Jiajun's expression, he guessed that Fat Liu brought him here because he hasn't returned home for so many years.
After a long while, the two stopped crying. Liu Jiajun looked at Yang Bo and looked towards Fat Liu, "This is?"
"He's my good friend, come with me." The Fat Liu explained.
Liu Jiajun nodded, and gestured towards the inside of the house: "Come in quickly, sit down. I'm so happy that you came over today. I forgot to let you all sit down.
Liu Jiajun treated the two very warmly, and since there was no one else in the room, they chatted for a bit before Fat Liu finally mentioned, "Uncle, before I came, a friend of mine mentioned that you were doing antiques business here, so I asked for the photos and asked the family. Only now did I know that you are here!"
Liu Jiajun laughed, "What do you mean by doing a trade in antiques? It's just that in the past few years, I have been collecting some things and have not done anything."
"Can I have a look at it? I also do the same business at home. " Fat Liu said.
Liu Jiajun was surprised, but then he laughed, "That's great, all these years I have been collecting things by myself, and very few German experts have been able to communicate with me. Who would have thought that we would meet each other in the future.
"Of course." The Fat Liu laughed.
Although it was said to have over a thousand items, Liu Jiajun's collection room was not very big. It only used a bedroom, and its four corners were filled with cabinets, and all the antiques were placed together, making it look extremely shocking.
My grandfather used to run a pawnshop, and I remember him so well when I was a kid. I used to see him slip a can and trade it for a few dollars." When I looked under our shop, it was all this kind of porcelain. " Liu Jiajun introduced.
The Fat Liu nodded his head, "I have also heard of this matter. It's true that my great-uncle did open the pawnshop, but it was closed later on."
Liu Jiajun laughed, "When I first arrived here, I was pleasantly surprised to find a place full of antique shops and postage stamp coin shops."
"At that time, I was working in a restaurant, washing dishes. My monthly salary was 1200 marks, which was almost $840. My salary in the country was only 35 yuan, so the first salary was a huge sum for me. When I got my first salary, I immediately bought a piece of antique porcelain and spent 1090 marks on it.
"This room is full of collections, I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy it, I have Ming and Qing porcelain, five great official kilns of Song Dynasty, and even a Chenghua Chicken Cup With Contending Colors of the Ming Dynasty!"
Yang Bo looked over in surprise. He thought to himself, could this guy also have a special ability like him? Only in this way could he use a hundred thousand to pick up so many treasures.
However, Fat Liu's face was filled with bitterness as he looked at Yang Bo and gently shook his head.
Yang Bo did not understand Fat Liu's words, but the more Liu Jiajun said, the more excited he got, "I've seen the news recently that German Collector is selling Chenghua Chicken Cup With Contending Colors, the price is as high as 300 million RMB. My god, this pill of mine is at least worth 400 million yuan!"
