Door-to-door dragon son-in-law

At half past six in the afternoon, it was getting dark.

A hurried figure trotted all the way into the antique street.

This person went straight to Jiqingtang, which is at the core of the antique street.

At this time, the manager of Ji Qingtang, Chen Yufei, was looking at the store with a few clerks. There were a few individual customers wandering around in the store. Chen Yufei left it to the other clerks to deal with, while he was anxiously waiting for the boy sent by Zhang Ermao. .

A few minutes later, a figure rushed in. As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to ask: "Is the boss here? Does our store collect antiques?"

"Collect it, collect it!" Chen Yufei immediately greeted him enthusiastically and asked, "I wonder what you are planning to sell?"

The man looked around, then took out something wrapped in red silk from his arms, and then he carefully opened one of the corners, revealing a gap, allowing Chen Yufei to see a small part of it, and then hurriedly opened another He closed it and said in a low voice: "This is a good thing. I don't know if you have the strength to take it down."

Chen Yufei smiled and said: "Look what you said, in the whole of Jinling, if there is something that our Ji Qingtang can't take, then no one can take it from you."

As he spoke, he said with a profound expression: "I only saw a little bit of what you just showed me. It seems to be a base. If I'm not mistaken, judging from my personal experience, it should be a Ming Dynasty Okay, please move to the VIP room and we can discuss it in detail. You can also let me take a closer look at the item and give you a real price."

The man hurriedly said: "Okay! Hurry up!"

Chen Yufei invited him to the VIP room at the back and then closed the door, leaving only the two of them inside.

Originally, there was no surveillance in the VIP room. Ever since Xiao Changkun hit the Yu Hu Chun Ping, Song Wanting had people install surveillance cameras in obvious locations.

The man came in and saw that there was a surveillance camera in the room, so he quickly asked: "Why are you still recording here? I can't let people outside know about my coming here."

Chen Yufei knew very well that these conversations were actually just arranged scripts, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry about this, this is our internal security camera, mainly in case anyone has any disputes or objections about things. If so, there will be surveillance to keep a piece of evidence. People in our business have to be careful. If you take a piece of porcelain that is inherently defective and drop it here on purpose, and say we broke it, we will be asked to compensate you at the normal market price. If there is no monitoring, we can’t explain it, right?”

The man was helpless, waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, I'm here to sell things, not to trick people. You should take a look at the things first, and if it works, give me a price as soon as possible."

After saying that, he handed the thing wrapped in red silk to Chen Yufei's hand.

Chen Yufei took the thing, looked at the Buddha statue and the base carefully, and then said to the man with a smile: "Brother, are you in a hurry to take action with this thing?"

"Yes." The man nodded and said, "As long as the price is right, we can sell it now."

Chen Yufei smiled thoughtfully and asked him, "What price are you going to quote for this thing?"

The man held out five fingers: "Five hundred thousand!"

"Five hundred thousand?" Chen Yufei snorted and said with a smile: "This thing looks like a bronze Buddha from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. The craftsmanship and shape are very good. If it goes to auction, it can sell for at least one or two million. Find a company like Ji Qing A powerful antique shop like Tang can sell it on consignment for at least one million, why do you want to sell it for 500,000?"

The man sighed: "To tell you the truth, this thing belongs to our old man. He just died this afternoon. He asked him to leave all the antiques in the house to my eldest brother in his will. I thought that the old man was so partial. Then I had to get something for myself, so I quietly took it out and wanted to sell it quickly and cash it in. You don’t have to tell me whether it’s worth one million, two million, or even three hundred or five hundred. Ten thousand, I’m not greedy, if you give me five hundred thousand, this thing will be yours.”

Chen Yufei asked him back: "Since your old man has made a will and left things to your elder brother, and you take them out quietly, it is theft, and then this thing is stolen goods. Do you think I dare to accept it?"

The man immediately said: "Our old man has a lot of things, and this is just one of them. Moreover, my eldest brother doesn't know anything about antiques. He doesn't even know that such a thing exists or how much it is worth. Besides, if this thing It's fair and square. I can't only ask for 500,000 yuan. You know a lot of rich people in this business. If you can find a rich person to spend more than one million yuan to buy it, then you won't make dozens or even more. Millions?”

After that, he said with a pained face: "I've made the situation very clear to you, so I won't argue with you anymore. I'll lower it by another hundred thousand, and you can take it away from me if you can't take it." , I’ll find someone else to look at!”

Chen Yufei sneered disdainfully and said: "Oh brother, your acting skills are indeed good, and the story is well written, but you chose the wrong person! Do you think I, Chen, can be the general manager of Ji Qingtang? Can’t you see this trick on your part?”

A trace of panic flashed across the man's expression, and he quickly said: "What kind of trick? What tricks can I do to sell things sincerely? If you want it, you can have it. If you don't want it, just give it back to me. At worst, I won't sell it to you."

Chen Yufei smiled contemptuously and said: "Your Buddha statue is indeed good, the shape and workmanship are very good, but the leather case looks artificially aged. In my opinion, although this thing is not a modern handicraft, it is not very old. , the earliest is the end of the late Qing Dynasty, maybe it is still something from the early Republic of China;"

"But there is one thing to say. This base of yours is really an old door-opening object from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, it is just a base. Without me, this base is not worth much. It only costs tens of thousands of dollars. That's almost it. So let me see, this thing of yours is only worth 70,000 to 80,000 yuan at most. You sold it to me for 500,000 yuan, and you made it seem like you put a big leak in it. Aren't you treating me like a fool? ?”

The man suddenly panicked and said quickly: "This...this...you...how did you see this?"

"It's a joke." Chen Yufei said arrogantly: "I have been fooling around and hanging out together for so many years. If I can't even spot your little tricks, wouldn't all these years have been in vain?"

With that said, he threw the things back to the other party and said coldly: "Brother, if you want to trick me, you are still too young. Go back and practice hard for a few more years!"

The man took the things and said nervously and frightenedly: "I'm sorry, boss, I'm just a young man who doesn't know the truth, and I'm trying to do everything in front of you. Please don't be as knowledgeable as a bastard like me..." "

Chen Yufei waved his hands in disgust: "Okay, take your things and get out."

"Hey!" The man hurriedly put the things in his arms and ran out of the door without looking back.

Chen Yufei turned his back to the camera, his face full of secret satisfaction, and he sighed in his heart: "Damn, it turns out this is the feeling of relying on technology to show off. Although I know it is an act, it is really fun!"

Thinking of this, he became more dramatic, looked at the direction in which the man was escaping, and sneered: "There's no antique liar smarter than me, Chen Yufei, yet born yet!"

After that, he closed the door of the VIP room and returned to the lobby.

After the man escaped from Jiqingtang, he walked around the antique street with his things.

At this time, Zhou Liangyun was just about to close his shop. He planned to go to the supermarket to purchase some daily necessities and arrange the second floor where he lived. The man just happened to sneak up to the door of his store. He looked up and saw Zhou Liangyun, surrounded by people. Looking at each other, he lowered his voice and asked mysteriously: "Boss, are you collecting things here?"
