I am doing well in the Siheyuan

"Boss Liu, I won't make it difficult for you. You can go to the warehouse to select the items, but the price will be 10% higher than the market price. Can you accept that?"

Li Huaide put forward his own conditions.

Hearing this, Uncle Liu remained calm, but he was secretly delighted in his heart.

Nowadays, real antiques are in great demand in Beijing and are in short supply.

People regard it as a treasure and wait for it to appreciate in value.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Jianjun's words of reconciliation were so effective and made Li Huaide so accommodating.

Although the price has increased by 10%, it is still lower than the auction price, which is more likely due to labor cost considerations.

"No problem, it's a pleasure!"

Uncle Liu agreed without hesitation.

"Boss Liu is really a straightforward person!"

Li Huaide couldn't help laughing and nodded in agreement.

"Then let's go over and see what the goods are like?"

Uncle Liu took the opportunity to make a suggestion.

"Let's go now. You know there will be an auction next month, so I'll be quite busy."

Li Huaide seemed quite anxious, although Uncle Liu did not notice anything unusual. After all, what he said made sense.

"Just follow Mr. Li's arrangements!"

After that, the group left Jin Changsheng and soon arrived at the Foley Auction House.

Stepping into the warehouse, what appeared before Uncle Liu were neatly arranged shelves displaying all kinds of antiques and artworks.

The dazzling array of antiques made his breathing become heavy.

The strength of Foley Auction House is evident.

"Mr. Li, are these the items that will be on display at the auction in February?"

Uncle Liu asked.

The antiques in this warehouse are extremely luxurious.

"Almost. If nothing goes wrong, another batch of goods will be delivered before the auction. They are all carefully purchased by our team from various places."

Li Huaide answered calmly.

Afterwards, Li Huaide accompanied Uncle Liu to browse several shelves.

Cheng Jianjun gave a detailed introduction on the side, explaining the age and origin of each antique in great detail.

During this period, Li Huaide checked his watch many times, as if he had other things to deal with.

"Jianjun, since you know Boss Liu, you can stay here and continue to explain these antiques to Boss Liu in detail. I will be away for a while. When Boss Liu has made his selection, you can go directly to my office."

Li Huaide said hello and left.

In the warehouse, only Cheng Jianjun was left accompanying Su Meng and Uncle Liu.

"Cheng Jianjun, you are really a hidden talent. I thought you were just a buyer, but you are Mr. Li's right-hand man!"

Su Meng was quite surprised.

If Li Huaide hadn't mentioned it himself, she really would have found it hard to imagine Cheng Jianjun's true identity.

"Mr. Li favors me because I am a little smarter and can occasionally give him some advice."

Cheng Jianjun looked calm and responded modestly.

What they do should not be publicized, and it is best to keep a proper distance.

So as to avoid being too involved and unable to extricate yourself.

"Jianjun, thanks to you for defusing the situation so cleverly just now. If there's anything I can help you with in the future, just let me know!"

Uncle Liu did not forget the kindness that Cheng Jianjun had just shown him.

As for whether the other party was an assistant or something else, he didn't care that much. The key was whether the other party was indeed useful.

"Thank you very much, uncle."

Seeing that Uncle Liu was trying to get closer to him, Cheng Jianjun also treated him with courtesy.

"Why are you being so polite to your relatives? I see that you are quite knowledgeable about the antiques in this warehouse. Can you help us pick out a few suitable pieces?"

Uncle Liu no longer underestimated Cheng Jianjun, and instead turned his attention to the dazzling array of collections on the shelves.

"You've been following Boss Li for so long, Jianjun, your eyesight must be pretty good!"

Su Meng agreed. She was deeply surprised that Cheng Jianjun could easily tell the origin and characteristics of every antique on the shelf.

"If you two don't mind, then I will make some comments on my ugly performance!"

Cheng Jianjun took over the conversation, pretending to be proud.

After all, most of these antiques were made by him, so he naturally knows them well.

Su Meng exchanged glances with Uncle Liu, thinking that although Cheng Jianjun was a rookie, he was already feeling flattered by just a few words of flattery. This was a good opportunity for Su Meng to find out more about the inside story of the Foley Auction House.

Afterwards, Cheng Jianjun selected several antiques for him from several different shelves according to the price range given by Uncle Liu.

Uncle Liu carefully appreciated those exquisite artifacts. Although he spent more than three million, he was secretly happy and felt that it was worth the money.

As long as you find a way to resell them abroad, you will make a profit.

In the office, Li Huaide received Uncle Liu again.

"These pieces? Jianjun, I remember telling you that the Ming Xuande Blue and White Multicolored Lotus Jar with Cover is not for sale to the public, right?"

Li Huaide couldn't help but frown when he saw the selected antiques.

"Mr. Li, you said before that the antiques in the warehouse are left for my uncle and his friends to choose from..."

Cheng Jianjun looked helpless.

"Forget it, Boss Liu. If you really like these pieces, there are actually quite a few treasures in the warehouse. How about I personally help you pick a few more?"

Li Huaide looked at Cheng Jianjun's confused face and could only respond with a wry smile.

"I appreciate Mr. Li's kindness, but I'm only interested in these few things. There's no need to bother you making another trip."

After hearing what Li Huaide said, Uncle Liu became more confident and believed that he had chosen the right treasure.

Although this scene has some elements of performance, after years of struggling in the business world, who isn't a veteran?

"Alas, the value of these antiques will more than double in a year, and I can't bear to sell them!"

Li Huaide expressed regret.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Li, let's sign the contract now!"

Uncle Liu was secretly delighted. He didn't expect that these antiques had such great potential for appreciation in value. He must keep them.

"Okay, in that case, Jianjun, go get the contract."

Li Huaide nodded in agreement, but his eyes still lingered over the pieces of porcelain.

When Su Meng saw that Li Huaide valued these antiques so much, she couldn't help but smile.

Next, Uncle Liu did not bargain too much and quickly completed the transaction.

After Uncle Liu and Su Meng left, Li Huaide motioned for Cheng Jianjun to sit down.

Everything went according to plan and ended perfectly! They had carefully designed this set of rhetoric before meeting with Uncle Liu: first, they showed the preciousness of the antiques, then exerted pressure to make Uncle Liu step into the preset trap step by step, and used the appreciation space as bait, leaving him almost no time to think carefully and could only obey the guidance.

"Jianjun, I will give you half of this money later."

The original agreement was a 4:6 split, but now Li Huaide looked at Cheng Jianjun as if he were a goose that laid golden eggs, so he naturally would not treat him unfairly.

Cheng Jianjun was very excited inside, but he remained calm on the surface.
