Chapter 12 Undercurrent

"Big discovery? Let's hear it." Because she was in a happy mood at this time, Qu Jingshui didn't say anything else when she noticed Wen Liyan's sloppy attire and overly excited attitude, but frowned slightly.

"After a rough understanding of the words in that book that can understand the meaning, I can roughly piece together some information now. Then, there is such an article on it. After this article, even now the English-related culture is very poor. Under such circumstances, we can also guarantee sufficient benefits." Seemingly excited, Wen Liyan gestured, seemingly wanting to strengthen his words, but in Qu Jingshui's view, his movements were completely meaningless , On the contrary, there is a feeling that painting a tiger is not an anti-dog.And the waving arm almost hit him—so, out of patience, Qu Jingshui grabbed Wen Liyan's wrist and told him to stop his movements.

Although feeling impatient, Qu Jingshui still softened his tone: "Liyan, you said an article? But you haven't told me the specifics of this article. Why do you say it can guarantee our interests?"

Well, actually he did it on purpose.Whether it's incoherent speech or random body language, it's all to show his "innocent intentions". Of course, the other part also has the meaning of wanting to break Qu Jingshui's superior attitude.Acting awkwardly, Wen Liyan moved his arm, but for the first time he couldn't pull his wrist out of Qu Jingshui's hand until Qu Jingshui, who felt his movement, let go of his hand.

With a somewhat embarrassed expression, he unconsciously rubbed his wrist with the other hand. Wen Liyan seemed to realize that he had forgotten to mention the important point. He coughed, as if to cover up his mistake, and then said: "Uh, In fact, that article was about ancient times, an article introducing various countries in ancient times. However, the main content of it was a comparison between a certain country that used this English language and the country where the ancient culture originated. I call them Britain and China. Uh, the part about China alone will actually have a huge impact, right? What's more, there seems to be very little information about the regime states in ancient times?"

Listening to Wen Liyan's narration, Qu Jingshui's expression became more focused, and his brain was rapidly thinking about the benefits that could be obtained after the content of such an article was disclosed.

Fame?This is certain, the reputation of the antique shop can be raised to a higher level, and at the same time it can help promote the value of objects related to English culture. The news given by Wen Liyan is really a happy thing.On the other hand, it was also Wen Liyan who pointed out the possibility of storing data in the USB flash drive.This Wen Liyan brought Qu Jingshui a lot of benefits.

Thinking about it this way, Qu Jingshui looked at Wen Liyan more and more pleasing to the eye.

So he smiled gently, sorted out his thoughts, and then asked: "So, Liyan, can you sort out the content of this article? I need such a document." It was a publicity hype in the early stage. The price of this book has gone up a notch.They don't even need to translate all the content of this book, they just need to identify the most valuable part, let people think that all the content of this book has the same value, and find someone who takes advantage of it to sell this book...

Yes, this is the means of businessmen again.However, Qu Jingshui guessed that people who do research like Wen Liyan might choose to completely translate the full text, which is not in his interest.Let a person who can create more value be tied to a certain thing.Now Wen Liyan's value has been affirmed, but this value has not been recognized by other people in the antique world. It is Qu Jingshui's hope to be able to completely squeeze the other party.

"If it's just this article, I can come up with the general content within a week, but if it's other content," Wen Liyan hesitated, "because there is no ancient text for reference, the speed may be very low."

This is of course a lie, but in Qu Jingshui's ears, it fits his idea very well, so he nodded and put forward his own idea: "Liyan, I suddenly thought that maybe you can participate in that kind of information storage. The information is being translated."

Wen Liyan was taken aback.Originally, he was just talking, but acting on the spot. In order to show his image as a pure researcher, he never thought about the possibility that Qu Jingshui would agree to him.But now Qu Jingshui brought up this matter by himself?this……

There was a feeling of being on the verge of riding a tiger, and Wen Liyan had to put on an expression of surprise, and asked eagerly: "Really? Really? Can I really participate in the translation of those materials?"

Qu Jingshui nodded, and finally stated her purpose: "However, if you want to participate in the research of those materials, the English book can be put aside."

"... Huh?" Looking at Qu Jingshui in surprise, Wen Liyan had no idea what Qu Jingshui was thinking.

While Qu Jingshui and Wen Liyan were talking, the U disk incident was stirring up an undercurrent in the entire antique street, and even in the antique world.

Qu Jingshui did not deliberately keep the news, and even revealed the research progress of the USB flash drive on purpose, as if mocking those who dismissed the acquisition of the USB flash drive at the beginning, so the people in the whole Antique Street heard a little bit of the wind .But just such a little wind, these people became restless.

"I didn't expect that." Zuo Qingfeng held a teacup in his hand, but he didn't intend to drink tea.With a cold face, she kept spinning the teacup in her hand, "That thing really has a mystery. Information memory? Qu Jingshui is going to make a lot of money this time."

The second uncle shook his head, looking calm, and said: "But we are also prepared, so we can drink some soup." When this kind of trend comes, it is not bad for them who are not the protagonists to follow along and drink soup something happened.God knows that some blind people in Antique Street sold their information memory to Qu Jingshui, and now they regret it.As for Zuo Qingfeng and the others, relying on their wise decisions at the time, they made a considerable fortune.This is the case with antiques. If you don't have enough eyesight, if you miss the collectibles that can make you profitable, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

"I just don't like that guy Qu Jingshui!" When putting down the tea cup, Zuo Qingfeng didn't save his energy, so the tea cup made a "dong" sound on the table, and a few drops of tea splashed out and landed on the table.Seeing those few drops of water, Zuo Qingfeng withdrew her hand in disgust, put it on her knee, then slightly turned her head away, and muttered awkwardly: "And at that time, Wen...is his name Wen Liyan? He and I discovered that article at the same time, so why is he the only one who benefits?"

Hearing her words, Second Uncle laughed. This woman who is regarded as quite prestigious in the world of antiques is just a little girl in front of him.After all, he was the child who grew up watching, always showing her innocent side in front of him.

"Qingfeng, no matter what, we haven't lost too much now, and that Wen Liyan is probably not a simple person. If Qu Jingshui still uses his methods to deal with this person and despise this person, the result may be unexpected. .” He spoke slowly, with a deep color in his eyes, which was the wisdom given by the years.

Although he still felt unhappy, Zuo Qingfeng believed in his second uncle's judgment.Maybe she can see a good show in the future?Can you even poach Wen Liyan?Thinking of this, she felt much happier. "Well, but this time, Wu Shi has lost face. The famous scammer in Antique Street was taken advantage of by others, hehe." Wu Shi's reputation in the entire Antique Street is widely spread, and he will never give away the real one. A person who has valuable things, but every time he can trick others into buying what he has.As a result, an unwritten rule has been formed in Antique Street—never accept anything from Wu Shi, and if you accept it, you must be prepared to be cheated.This time, Qu Jingshui had already surprised many people by accepting the information storage device. Who would have thought that such a small object would be of amazing value by Qu Jingshui and the others.

Wu Shi made a big fool of himself, and everyone in Antique Street was waiting to see the joke.

"Wu Shi is a bit interesting." The second uncle also smiled, "Look, this matter will definitely not just go through like this, and he should still make moves. If he doesn't get the place back, he won't be Wu. Qu Jingshui is no longer Qu Jingshui if someone else takes advantage of it. Next, there will be a very exciting scene, right? That Wen Liyan may become the leading actor of this play."

"Wen Liyan..." Zuo Qingfeng chewed the name in his mouth, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Haha, I suddenly thought of something. No one would rush forward to dig up Qu Jingshui in a foolish way." Corner? Maybe there are many people in Antique Street who have such thoughts. They must think that Wen Liyan has not been reused by Qu Jingshui, and there is Mo Jing, so they think it is easy to poach corners?"

"Wen Liyan can't see his situation clearly. Now Qu Jingshui is his reliance. Without Qu Jingshui, who would have such a big fortune that he would throw those valuables to someone like him who is not quite famous for appraisal. The second uncle shook his head, "He won't agree, but there are absolutely no fewer people who want him to agree. To be honest, I'm also a little interested in this guy. Wen Liyan, Lu Ziye!" Suddenly appeared The guy seems to have a lot of research on ancient texts, and he has revealed the mystery of the USB flash drive. Recently, I heard that he is translating... an ancient book in English?

I don't know what Qu Jingshui was thinking at the time, he gave Wen Liyan a chance at random, who knew that so many things would happen.

In fact, Qu Jingshui didn't know which god possessed him at that time, but this decision brought him a lot of benefits, so he has no reason to regret it, right?

As he thought, after hearing his decision to let Wen Liyan stop translating English books, Wen Liyan almost immediately rebounded. The bait still played its due role, and finally Wen Liyan obeyed his decision.

This is enough, so the problem now is to get a high price for this book after getting the translation of the English article.

Qu Jingshui made such a decision, but she didn't know how many times Wen Liyan scolded him secretly.After finally being able to translate English books slowly while gaining the opportunity to learn more things, it was disturbed like this. The study of ancient characters has improved much more than English. It is impossible for Wen Liyan to delay time like translating English books. There is much less time available.What's more, Qu Jingshui's attitude is basically a standard capitalist, fully squeezing his surplus value, and constantly letting him get in touch with new tasks.Even Wen Liyan dared to conclude that he would never be able to do the work of translating the USB disk data for a long time, and then he would be dragged by Qu Jingshui to do other things.

When he got a firm foothold, the first thing he did was to get away from Qu Jingshui, and then taunted this guy!

With such a decision, Wen Liyan can only sit in front of the computer and translate Chinese into modern characters, and at the same time learn modern characters through the phonetic system, and learn how to identify antiques.

so much pressure.
