"It's your friend, you want to find someone?"

Soon, Capote talked about Jin Muchen's situation and probably told this guy. The guy raised his head and glanced at Jin Muchen...≦

His habit of looking at people with his eyes made Jin Muchen feel very bad, but thinking about it this time he had something to ask for him, so he endured it.

"Yuan, don't worry, you won't let you do it in vain this time."

After Capote said that, he secretly poked Jin Muchen underneath. Jin Muchen was stunned, and then he understood, opened his handbag, took out a thick stack of US dollars and threw it in front of this guy.

"Mr. Yuan, please contact me first. This is a preliminary fee of $10,000. If you can get it online, there will be another 10,000 after the matter is completed."

Twenty thousand US dollars is nothing to this person surnamed Yuan, but one piece of information can make 20,000 yuan, and the deal is still very cost-effective.

He picked up the stack of bills and put them in his hand and flipped them out, then a smile appeared on his face that had been tense.

"No problem, I will contact there as soon as possible, and I will notify you as soon as possible after contacting you."

Jin Muchen nodded: "Okay, but Mr. Yuan, I'm asking, how long will it take for you to say as soon as possible?"

The guy named Yuan scratched his head: "It will take one week, you know. The shipment side will definitely be very cautious. They will have to wait until there is conclusive information here before showing up."

"Okay, let's go back and wait for your good news."

There was no more nonsense. Capote took Jin Muchen to get up and say goodbye to the guy, and then got into the car.

"Who is this surname Yuan?"

It was still Lexzi who drove. Jin Muchen and Capote were sitting behind him. Jin Muchen asked Capote to arrive.

"I met him when I was in the junior high school office, but at that time he was in Boston. Later, he came to the West Coast and heard that he had an uncle who was doing well in the Chinese gang, so he came to join his uncle. Later, I had several transactions with him. He was a relatively credible person, so he shouldn't criticize us this time."

Since Capote said so, Jin Muchen stopped saying anything more.

Capote and Lex sent Jin Muchen back to the hotel, then stood up and said goodbye and left.

All of them are quite mysterious. Jin Muchen doesn't want to know about their business too much. After all, these guys are not good at it. They often do illegal things, so who knows when they will cause big trouble.

He wanted to get closer to Capote and the others, but Jin Muchen didn't want to know too much about what they were doing and what they were busy with.

When he returned to the hotel, Jin Muchen lost his mind to sleep. Anyway, he had to wait a week before the news came out, so Jin Muchen became interested in going to San Francisco.

Anyway, they all came to the West Coast. It would be a bit unreasonable to him if he didn't go to San Francisco. What's more, before coming, Fang Boke told him that he must not miss San Francisco when he came to the West Coast.

It is the old home of Chinese people on the West Coast of the United States. It was the first place where Chinese people who came to the United States to take root in their lives.

Moreover, after World War II, many Chinese came to the United States from mainland China or treasure islands. Most of the first places they settled in the United States were San Francisco.

Moreover, those people also brought a lot of good things, most of them were also in San Francisco. Therefore, any collector who plays Chinese antiques in the United States knows that San Francisco is definitely a Taobao holy land.

In recent years, most players who come to Taobao in the United States from China will choose their first stop on Taobao in the United States in San Francisco.

It was better to act than to act. The next morning, Jin Muchen retreated the room, then went straight to the nearest Hertz car rental store near the hotel, rented a Cadillac SRX, and spent more than 500 yuan on a three-day trip.

This car rental store is known as the world's largest, and there are quite a lot of models. The most are muscle cars made in the United States, which is mainly to cater to the appetite of a large number of Chinese tourists who have come to the United States recently.

This kind of muscle car is sold at sky-high prices in China, but here it is cheaper than cabbage.

Therefore, many Chinese tourists come to the United States to rent a car and like to have the addiction to muscle cars.

But after coming to the United States for a long time, Jin Muchen has long lost interest in such a muscle car. He drove the car and sat in the car with his figure very uncomfortable. He felt like he was sitting on the floor and driving. Moreover, the trip to San Francisco is not close, and it takes more than five hours a day. It is a pain to drive such a car. It is better to choose a spacious SUV.

When driving on the road, he did not choose the scenic Highway 1. That road is a well-known coastal highway on the West Coast in the United States. The scenery along the way is picturesque and is the first choice for many tourists who come to the West Coast to drive by themselves.

But if you go to San Francisco, this road will be more circling. Generally, you have to find a place to stay for one night on the road. Jin Muchen's trip was not for viewing the scenery, so he chose the faster Highway 101.

It took only more than five hours to arrive in San Francisco. Before entering San Francisco, I first ate a steak in an outback chain in the service area of ​​the expressway, and then rushed to the Antique Street in San Francisco.

Antique shops in San Francisco are concentrated in the areas of Stanford Road and Jackson Street. These two streets run north and south and the east and west, and are connected. They are the core area of ​​the antique business district in the San Francisco area.

However, the situation on these two streets is slightly different.

Jackson Street is a place where antique shops are concentrated. This street is closer to the prosperous business district of San Francisco, so it is mainly aimed at the wealthy class in the city. Therefore, the storefronts of these antique shops are relatively regular and look more classy.

There are not so many antique shops on Stanford Road, but the reason why this place is famous is mainly because there is a large antique distribution market here. To put it bluntly, it is an open-air second-hand market that is similar to the Hell Kitchen Market in New York. It has everything you buy, but it is more reliable than the one in New York. At least it is not like New York, where black buddies pretending to be African tribes are selling some wood carvings and bone carvings.

Before coming here, Jin Muchen learned about the situation here through the Internet, so after arriving, he first went straight to Jackson Street.

There are many antique shops on this street. Generally speaking, Jin Muchen would not visit these antique shops because the owners here are experts and are clear about the things in the store, so it is difficult to pick up any treasures from them.

On the other hand, it is because the things in these stores are mixed, and fakes are often vague, and there is a possibility of being mistaken if you accidentally get it.

So Jin Muchen usually doesn't come to visit such antique shops, but this time it's different when coming to San Francisco, mainly because the antique shops on Jackson Street have a lot of themed stores about China, and it can even be said to be the most popular in the United States.

Because the first choice for Chinese people in the United States was San Francisco, which has been like this from the late Qing Dynasty to the founding of New China. And those Chinese who came here did bring a lot of good things from China, so there are a lot of Chinese-themed antique shops on this street, and there are many good things that are famous for.

Jin Muchen arrived at Jackson Street and after watching half of the street through a browsing look, he felt that it was indeed the case.

On a street that lasts several miles long, there are twenty or thirty shops with square signs hanging at the door or block advertisements on the store door and glass windows. Almost every shop has the same style as the Chinese style in the door window. The Chinese style here is so rich that Jin Muchen wonders if he has gone to the wrong place.

If it weren't for those English store signs and those white and black people who were moving around, Jin Muchen even had some doubts about whether he had walked on an antique street in China.

There was still one afternoon, and Jin Muchen was reluctant to waste it. He pushed several stores in a row and went in and found a lot of good things.

Chinese-style jade and porcelain are common, and precious enamels and precious gold can also be seen. There are even some rare landscape paintings of famous masters, which can be seen here, but it really opened his eyes.

He has visited many antique shops in New York, but after a few trips, he lacked interest. However, he has transferred several antique shops here, but he has been lingering.

Although those stores are asking for more expensive treasures in the store, Jin Muchen is still happy. Even if he doesn't buy them, it is also a pleasure for him to see so many treasures with his own eyes.

Many treasures that were only seen in classics or antique magazines before can be seen here. How can it not be a blessing for a beginner in antiques like him?

The treasures of several stores brought him enough shock. Even if he was a young player who had just started, he could see that these treasures were enough to be used as treasures in other museums.

For example, one of the treasures of the Zhendian is the golden cake from the Liao Dynasty. It weighs two or three kilograms, and there are shamanic characters he doesn't recognize. It looks gorgeous and beautiful, not only with cultural relics, but also with considerable archaeological value.

There is also a store where there is a set of eighteen Qing Dynasty blue and white porcelain plates. Although I didn’t look closely, I couldn’t confirm the exact period of work, but the blue light shining on the porcelain plates almost dazzled Jin Muchen’s eyes.
