Li Tianyu was startled.
"What was the thing that was damaged? It costs so much money?"
Ai Baoquan looked embarrassed: "It's said to be a cultural relic."
Li Tianyu was very surprised: "Cultural relic? What kind of cultural relic is it?"
Ai Baoquan: "I don't know the specifics. Anyway, the person said it is a very valuable and rare cultural relic."
Li Tianyu: "Since it's so precious, then you should pay it to others as soon as possible. For a big boss like you, only 50 million is just a drop in the bucket for you."
Ai Baoquan waved his hand: "Brother Li, what you said is wrong. Do you think my money came from the strong wind? I earned it every penny."
"Besides, even if I really don't care about the 50 million, I can't pay for it so unclearly, right? At least the cultural relic is indeed as valuable as he said."
Li Tianyu said "Oh" and waited for Ai Baoquan to continue.
Ai Baoquan looked at Li Tianyu.
Li Tianyu couldn't help it anymore: "Boss Ai, are there flowers on my face?"
Ai Baoquan: "It's your turn to express your stance."
Li Tianyu responded in surprise: "What do I mean?"
Ai Baoquan: "Please help me go over and identify whether that cultural relic is worth 50 million."
"Boss Ai, you don't think I'm omnipotent, do you?"
Ai Baoquan chuckled, picked up the purple clay teapot, and poured tea into their cups.
"Brother Li, you are still pretending to be stupid. Don't think that I don't know. You know a lot about antiques."
Li Tianyu glanced at Ai Baoquan and finally understood.
The old fox Ai Baoquan already knew about his dirty tricks in the pawn shop.
It seems that this guy is still investigating himself.
It's no wonder that Li Tianyu holds many secrets of Ai Baoquan. He cannot completely let them go and must pay attention to Li Tianyu's movements at all times.
Li Tianyu: "Do you believe me so much? Why don't you go to a museum in the imperial capital to find an old expert who is more reliable than me."
Ai Baoquan curled his lips: "Oh, I still don't know the urine properties of those experts? They are really old, but how many of them have real materials? I tell you this, I can't say that they are all deceiving the world and stealing their reputations. , but it's not easy to find a capable guy."
Li Tianyu picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp: "Boss Ai, I can't do this job for free. You have to pay me an appearance fee."
Like magic again, Ai Baoquan pushed a check in front of Li Tianyu.
Li Tianyu picked it up and took a look.
Cash check: 1 million soft sister coins.
Li Tianyu gave a thumbs up: "Boss Ai, you are very particular."
"When people are in the world, righteousness comes first."
Li Tianyu put away the cash check: "No wonder so many little girls are willing to follow you. If I were a woman, I would have to stick it to you."
Ai Baoquan's hand shaking when pouring tea said: "Drink tea and stop saying disgusting words."
The damaged cultural relic is still at the city police station.
Li Tianyu didn't need to go over for appraisal right away.
Ai Baoquan needs to contact the owner of the cultural relics and the police through his lawyer in advance to obtain an appraisal application.
Of course, there are some other tasks that need to be prepared.
Appraisal of cultural relics is not something that just anyone can do. It requires relevant professional status.
Otherwise, let alone whether people believe the results of your identification, it will be very difficult just to get the application for identification from the police.
Therefore, Ai Baoquan needs to give Li Tianyu a suitable identity.
Li Tianyu doesn't have to worry about these things, just let Ai Baoquan do it.
After drinking tea with Ai Baoquan, Li Tianyu returned to his office.
He thought for a moment and called Guo Guang.
"Hey, Brother Guo, where are you?"
Guo Guang: "I'm at work."
Li Tianyu: "Are you busy?"
Guo Guang: "It's okay. I just got busy. By the way, I really need to thank you for yesterday. Otherwise, I might not be able to keep the money I saved."
Li Tianyu: "Hi, thank you. By the way, if you are free, I will go to you and consult with you about this matter. It would be better to discuss this matter in person."
Guo Guang: "Okay, come here."
Li Tianyu hung up the phone and drove away from Aihua Building and went to Wulitun.
Speaking of Wulitun, it is a very famous dining and entertainment area in the imperial capital, and there are also several bustling pedestrian streets.
There are a large number of bars, nightclubs, shopping malls, and various restaurants concentrated there.
The place where Guo Guang works is called Blue Frog Western Food, a well-known chain of Western restaurants in China.
Li Tianyu drove to the door and called Guo Guang again.
Guo Guang came out soon.
"Where to go?" Guo Guang asked.
Li Tianyu pointed to the coffee shop opposite: "Let's go, I'll buy you some coffee."
The two entered the store and sat opposite each other.
Two cups of hot latte were served.
Guo Guang rubbed his face, which was still a little red: "How much did I drink yesterday? It felt like there were about ten bottles of beer, right?"
In fact, he only drank five or six glasses at most.
Li Tianyu raised his head and glanced at the other party: "I really want to throw coffee on your face. If you drink too much, it doesn't matter if you don't treat me, I have to drag you back."
Guo Guang laughed sheepishly: "I'm sorry, I will definitely treat you later."
Li Tianyu: "Next time you invite me, you must not drink."
Guo Guang looked embarrassed: "By the way, what do you want to ask me for?"
Li Tianyu: "I want to ask you, is it profitable to open a Western restaurant?"
Guo Guang: "Hey, this is complicated. It depends on how you open it. In the Imperial Capital, as long as the location is good, you will definitely make money. What? Do you want to open a restaurant?"
Li Tianyu: "I do have this idea, but I am afraid that the profit will be too low and it is not cost-effective, so I want to ask your opinion."
After all, Guo Guang has been in this industry for many years. Even if he is only a chef, he knows enough about it.
Guo Guang looked at Li Tianming in surprise.
Li Tianming: "What?"
Guo Guang: "Do you know how much investment it costs to open a Western restaurant in the imperial capital?"
Li Tianming waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about money. I'll find a way. Just tell me whether this idea is reliable or not."
Guo Guang thought for a moment: "Western restaurants have higher profits than Chinese restaurants, that's for sure, but they're not much higher. As far as I know, a profit margin of 60% is pretty good."
Li Tianyu was speechless. Even if he saves money on rent, the profit will not be much higher.
Guo Guang suddenly said: "I tell you, if you are really rich, you might as well open a bar."
"Bar?" Li Tianyu's eyes lit up.
Guo Guang is right. Although Li Tianyu has never opened a bar, he has heard that the profit of the bar is very high.
An ordinary cup of beer can be sold for more than 100 yuan.
A bottle of Chivas Regal that costs tens of dollars can be sold for thousands of dollars.
Such profits are indeed staggering.
However, Guo Guang soon began to pour cold water on the situation.
