As he spoke, he said with a profound look on his face: “What you just showed me. I only saw a little bit of the thing, it seems to be a base. If I read it correctly, judging from my personal experience, it should be something from the Ming Dynasty. So, please move to the VIP room, and we can discuss it in detail there. , you can let me take a closer look at the things and give you a real price.”
The man said hurriedly: “Okay! Hurry up!”
Chen Yufei invited him to the VIP room at the back and closed the door. , only the two of them were left inside.
Originally there was no surveillance in the VIP room. Ever since Jacob hit the Yu Hu Chun Ping, Jasmine 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 It was just an arranged script, so he smiled and said: “Don’t worry about this, this is our internal security camera. It is mainly used to keep a piece of evidence in case anyone has any disputes or objections about things.” , those who work in our industry 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 according to the normal market price. If there is no monitoring, there is nothing we can do. Just make sense, right?”
The man waved his hands helplessly 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 they work, give me a price as soon as possible. .”
After that, he handed the thing wrapped in red silk to Chen Yufei’s hand.
Chen Yufei took the thing and looked at the Buddha statue and its matching base carefully. Then he smiled and said to the man, “Brother, are you in a hurry to get rid of this thing?”
”Yes.” The man nodded and said, “As long as the price If it’s suitable, we can make a move 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 laughed and said: “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 strong one like Ji Qingtang. If you sell it on consignment in an antique store, you can sell it for at least one million. Why are you selling it for half a million?”
The man sighed: “To be honest, this thing belongs to our old man, who just died this afternoon. Son, 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, so I had to get something for myself, so I quietly took it out and wanted to sell it quickly. If you want to cash it out, you don’t have to tell me whether it’s worth one million or two million, or even three or five million. I’m not greedy. If you give me half a million, this thing is yours.”
Chen Yufei asked him . : “Since your old man has made a will and left things to your eldest brother, and you take them out quietly, this 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. Besides, 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 is fair and honest, I won’t It can’t be only half a million. You know a lot of rich people in this business. If you can find a rich person to buy it for more than one million, wouldn’t you make dozens or even 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 drop another hundred thousand. If you can take the four hundred thousand, you can’t. “Here, let me 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!” As the general manager of Ji Qingtang, how can you not see your tricks?”
The man’s expression flashed with panic, and he quickly said: “What tricks can I do to sell things sincerely? If you want it, you can do it. If you don’t want it, just give it back to me, or I won’t sell it to you at worst.”
Chen Yufei smiled contemptuously: “Your Buddha statue is indeed good, and the shape and workmanship are very good, but the leather shell looks artificially aged. It seems that although this thing is not a modern handicraft, it is not too old. It is the end of the
late Qing Dynasty at the earliest, and maybe it is something from the early Republic of China.” “But there is one thing to say, your base is really the Xuande of the Ming Dynasty. It’s an old thing with a large door that’s 20 years old. Unfortunately, it’s just a base. Without the main body, the base isn’t worth much. It’s only worth a few tens of thousands of yuan. So I think this thing of yours is worth nothing at most. It’s worth 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, and you sold it to me for 500,000 yuan, and you made it seem like you left a big leak in my hands. Aren’t you treating me like a fool?
The man suddenly panicked and said quickly: “This…this…you…how did you see this? “
”Joke. ” “Chen Yufei said arrogantly: “I have been fooling around for so many years. If I can’t even see your 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 fearfully: “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 loser 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 away from the door without looking back.
Chen Yufei turned his back to the camera, with a secretly happy face, and sighed in his heart: “Damn, it turns out this is what it feels like to rely on technology to show off. , even though I knew it was an act, it was really fun! “
Thinking of this, he became more dramatic, looked at the direction in which the man was escaping, and sneered: “There is 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 the Jiqing Hall, he walked around on 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?”
