Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

Chapter 257: Being too clever may lead to mistakes.

He Yuzhu was so excited that he tried to calm himself down. Then he read the two notices word by word. After reading for a long time, he said unhappily:

"Sixth brother, can you please breathe less when you make announcements next time? Why don't you just say it's a Picasso or Van Gogh painting? Why bother with so much effort?"

"Zhu Zi, you can question my character, but you can't question my professionalism. Besides, the painting hasn't reached you yet, so you should buy it first and then talk about it."

When He Yuzhu heard this, he realized that this was the case. He blamed himself for being too excited and forgetting about it.

William didn't know that although He Yuzhu seemed to be looking at a painting, he was actually daydreaming. He glanced at his stupid cousin and felt that this boy wasn't completely useless after all.

William's mouth curled up slightly, thinking that it was fortunate that he had found a China expert in advance to learn about it, so he asked someone to write the names of famous European painters on all the sketches in the warehouse according to the custom of Chinese painters.

Therefore, when William saw He Yuzhu watching so seriously, he thought that He Yuzhu had taken the bait. Seeing that his plan was half successful, he quickly gave his cousin a look, meaning that he should talk less and watch his performance and learn something.

This is exactly what the stupid shop owner David was thinking. I don't care how you perform, as long as you get my commission in the end. Whoever gives you milk is your mother. At this moment, David looked at He Yuzhu in front of him and felt that he was closer to him than his cheap father.

Because he was too excited, He Yuzhu didn't react at first to why Picasso and Van Gogh unexpectedly left their names.

But no matter what, as long as they are your authentic works, you can't let them run away today.

He Yuzhu insisted on flipping through the remaining paintings, and it wasn't that he gained nothing. There were still a few sketches by some European painters of some noteworthy reputation, which were of decent value. But that was all.

Putting the painting he wanted to buy aside, He Yuzhu picked up the teacup and took a sip of coffee, waiting for William's offer. If he spoke first, he would easily be ripped off.

Sure enough, seeing He Yuzhu stopped looking at the paintings, William, who was eager to open the shop, smiled and said, "Mr. He, the sketches I have here are pretty good, right?"

He Yuzhu thought: "It's really good, and quite good at fooling people. If the sketches in the stupid one are drawn by students, yours is at best drawn after graduation, and is just a little more mature."

But He Yuzhu did not expose it. Whether it was antiques or works of art, one had to rely on one's eyesight to make a living, and it was not uncommon for people to make mistakes.

No matter how good something is, even if I like it very much, if you say it is good, I will find fault with it, otherwise how can I lower the price?

"Mr. William, you should have an idea of ​​the quality of these paintings. I picked these ones because I thought they were somewhat acceptable. I also want to make friends with you. In our words, I want to open a shop for you."

William thought that He Yuzhu had seen through his trick, and smiled awkwardly.

"Mr. He, my friend, how about this five-dollar bill? You know it's not easy for us to collect so many sketches."

"He is such an experienced person. Although the price he offered is insignificant compared to the actual value of these paintings, He Yuzhu just doesn't want to pay them an extra penny."

So he chopped it down mercilessly: "Mr. William, two dollars."

Maybe William felt that he had made a fortune with two dollars, or maybe this was just William's preparation to lure He Yuzhu into the game and make a fortune, so after hesitating for a moment, he nodded and agreed.

He Yuzhu didn't expect it to be so smooth. For a moment, He Yuzhu wanted to pay and leave immediately. But he thought that just leaving like that would easily arouse the suspicion of William and the foolish David. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, He Yuzhu decided to continue to act with the two of them. Maybe there would be more surprises waiting for him.

It feels so good to pick up a bargain, and He Yuzhu likes this feeling more and more. However, he also knows that with his half-baked skills, if it weren't for Lao Liu's help, he would often be the one to suffer.

With Lao Liu around, He Yuzhu was not afraid that William and David would tamper with the painting, and they agreed to settle the matter together after they had looked at the things.

William and David had no objection to this. After all, these few dozen dollars were far from enough to satisfy their appetite.

This time, William did not ask the waiter to bring the collection up, but took He Yuzhu directly to the warehouse and let him choose at will.

As soon as he entered the warehouse, He Yuzhu discovered that there were many more items belonging to his ancestors here than in the possession of the foolish David, which made He Yuzhu angry and helpless.

William originally wanted to see what expression He Yuzhu would have when he looked at this pile of oriental artworks, but he miscalculated. Even if He Yuzhu was unwilling in his heart, he would not let others see it.

As soon as He Yuzhu got his hands on them, he felt based on his own judgment that these things seemed real and priceless, but they just didn't feel right.

At this moment, He Yuzhu used his ultimate move and closed the door to release Lao Liu.

"Sixth brother, it's your turn to perform."

System Lao Liu was also ready to go, "Don't worry, Zhuzi, your sixth brother is here, there will be no accidents."

"Ding~ Zhuzi, this porcelain is fake."

"Ding~ding~"

With the help of System Laoliu, He Yuzhu could look at objects very quickly.

William had no idea what He Yuzhu's methods were. He just wanted to make more money. After all, these things were robbed and he had no capital.

He Yuzhu would not tolerate any unhappiness. If he didn't hurry up, he would have to wait till the end of time for the things in this small warehouse.

As time went by, He Yuzhu became more and more pleased. For the first time, he felt favorable towards the counterfeiting gang. It was a rare opportunity for him to do good to them.

The warehouse contains mostly porcelain, but 90% of them are fake or worthless from folk kilns, and the remaining 10% can be considered fine products.

But the paintings are interesting. Many of them are paintings within paintings. It may be that there was no time to replace them, so they had to use another painting to cover up the real painting.

He Yuzhu admired this counterfeiting gang very much. Their ancestors had worked so hard, so he had to bring these treasures back to their homeland no matter what. They had been away from home for too long.

Soon He Yuzhu picked out everything he wanted.

William was somewhat disappointed to see that He Yuzhu only picked out a few things from such a large pile of things. He thought He Yuzhu would buy them all.

"Mr. He, if you don't pick more, the price will definitely be cheaper."

"Mr. William, to be honest, I want both, but I don't have enough dollars in my wallet."

When William heard this, he had to accept He Yuzhu's explanation even though he was unwilling.

After some arguing, He Yuzhu finally packed up and took away these old items for one thousand US dollars.

The deal was done and all three of them were happy. He Yuzhu didn't even stop and found a car to help him transport his things away.
