After leaving Zhong Haoqing's house, Li Yi looked at the time and decided to go to Pan's home. This period he was either gambling stones or wood. He hadn't been to the market for a long time to find a bargain. Maybe his luck had accumulated enough!

What's more, you can both pick up bargains and warm up, why not do it?

Since he was going to the market, there were two people who could go to see him by the way. He felt that he hadn't seen Bai Qianye for a long time. Moreover, he didn't know how Mr. Chang was studying Yongle Big Can. Last time, he was deceived by his friend, and he didn't care much after that. It was a bit unstoppable to think about it.

As soon as he parked the car in the garage, he saw Gu Feng greeting him with a black and thin middle-aged man. He was slightly stunned. Who is this? The madman should not let someone enter the house casually?

"Brother Yi, this is a fat elephant. He has just arrived not long ago."

Crazy fat elephant? Li Yi stared at this guy who looked no different from the Vietnamese devils he remembered and laughed silently. He thought this guy was a fat white man with fat face full of flesh, and at first glance he looked like a fat white man with a desperate hob meat!

A drop of cold sweat quietly flowed down the fat elephant's forehead. It seems that the madman is indeed right. The boss this time seems to be a bit unreliable!

"Fat Elephant, welcome, come and sit in the room. By the way, you are so thin, how could they call Fat Elephant..."

Fat Elephant smiled shyly. He learned hard qigong from an alien since he was a child. When he was practicing, his body would expand a lot and he had a strong ability to resist hits. Therefore, whenever he was at the forefront, he was the nickname "Crazy Fat Elephant".

"Oh, so... are you more defense?"

"Not that. Brother Yi. Although he has strong ability to resist hits, because of this, he often does not need to take into account defense, so he is even more life-threatening when attacking."

Li Yi nodded to show that it was clear.

"I was arrested by my master and I will probably have to travel between various associations in the next ten days, so madman, you should refund the air ticket first. Don't be anxious, since you are here, wait here with the madman during this period..."

After Li Yi finished his explanation, he suddenly hesitated:

"Fat Elephant, how old are you this year?"

A bitter smile appeared on Fat Elephant's face, and Gu Feng next to him replied:

"He is as old as me this year, 24 years old, but look at him, everyone believes in 42! It's because he rushes to the front every time and gets hurt every time..."

Gu Feng was a little sad. Now his comrades should still be working hard, but he could no longer help them. Now he just hopes that Li Yi will have more positions in the future. In this way, his brothers, who are also covered in scars, will have a better home after retirement.

24 years old... Li Yi looked at the vicissitudes of Fat Elephant's face and patted the two of them on the shoulders.

"Okay, don't be sad. Since you have retired, you have to start a new life. Let's go and welcome the fat elephant!"

He took Fat Xiang and Gu Feng and called Bai Qianye out to accompany him. The group of four had a sumptuous welcome banquet at Nanhe Building. Then Bai Qianye left in advance, while Li Yi and others entered Panjiayuan directly from the south gate.

Not far from the south gate is Chang Huaizhi's store. Li Yi saw that the business seemed to be pretty good, but he didn't see Liu Cunzhi's figure, so he took out the phone and called Mr. Chang directly.

"Haha, it's Xiao Li! I heard that you have been running around for a while and never left home. Why did you suddenly remember me, the old man, come today?"

Li Yi sweated for a while. Didn’t he come to you to report it as soon as he comes back? Besides, I won’t take you to reveal your shortcomings like this.

"Haha, that's a coincidence. I'm not in Beijing now. There is a treasure appraisal program on CCTV. This episode was recorded in the Northwest. I've been here for two or three days. Well, wait for me to go back and call you when I go back."

Li Yi heard that the old man was in a good mood and must have walked out of the shadow of the Qingtian stone sculpture, so he hung up the phone with confidence.

After walking a few steps, a familiar doorman appeared in his sight. He couldn't help but feel moved. The boss of this family seemed to be wild. He got a lot of good things from him last time. After so long, there should be new products, right?

That’s right, this store is the gallery where he bought works by Li Xiongcai and Lu Yanshao last time. The boss happened to be in the store. When he saw Li Yi coming over, he quickly smiled and greeted him. This is a big customer!

"Boss Wang, long time no see. Recently, what good goods have you collected?"

"Haha, there are many good people. I'm wondering if I should call you. But I didn't expect you to come now. Doesn't this mean that these paintings are destined to you?"

"Hahaha, it's good to be destined, I like to be destined! Let's take a look."

When Li Yi and others were taken to the VIP reception room last time, Boss Wang did not hesitate and directly pulled open the huge fake curtain on the wall.

"Can you recognize this painting?"

Boss Wang looked proud, because he could see that although Li Yi was silent on his face, he was actually shocked by the painting.

"If you don't get scared when you see this painting, it proves that he is not a person in the circle at all!"

He was not wrong. Li Yi was indeed shocked, but it was not the kind he thought was shocked, but another extreme accident. How could this painting be in his hands?

After taking a closer look, he gently touched the paper of the painting with his hand. Li Yi shook his head and smiled and said:

"Imitation of Qi Baishi's "Pine, Cypress, Eagle Picture? Four-character Couplets of Seal Script", Huanghe Hotel was sold at the autumn auction of Jiamei Company for 3.62 million soft girl coins. Boss Wang, am I right?"

This time it was Boss Wang's turn to open his mouth wide in surprise. This young man looked so young that he had such a lot of insights! Thinking back to the beginning, he used this painting to scare several very skilled old appraisers. Why did he recognize him so simply?

Then he understood that Li Yi must have heard of this painting before, because he heard that the family had already found many people before selling the painting to him.

"How is it? Are you interested in paying attention to this painting?"

Li Yi nodded. He was more than just interested in this painting, he was simply very interested.

"Although this painting is not an authentic work, the imitation can almost be fake and is also of great collection value... Then I will quote you a real price according to the market conditions, 7.82 million. What do you think?"

After listening to the boss's offer, the muscles on Fat Elephant's face twitched. Just this painting is not the original work. The price has more than doubled in a few years. In their eyes, these people's money is not money or paper?

In fact, in the antique market, money is sometimes not much different from paper, but Li Yi hesitated when it comes to this painting.

According to the current market conditions, if this is a real master's work, it would be normal for a few years, not to mention that the price has only doubled, it would be normal to rise even by turning somersault clouds. However, this picture is different. The boss will definitely not recognize that the four-character couplet of seal script with paintings is actually the original work, so the price will be a bit high.

What's more, the family had already found out that day. As long as they paid the price they bought at that time, they would be willing to take action. Then, the boss's purchase price would probably be less than 3 million. How long has it been gone, and it has increased by nearly three times? This boss is really bad!

"Let me say that, Boss Wang, about a month ago, the family also visited our company and quoted prices, so I probably know what's going on. In this way, I won't let you suffer any losses. You will make less money, 4.2 million, and give you 20% of the profit. What do you think?"

Boss Wang scratched his scalp. Although he had guessed that Li Yi might have contacted that family before, he didn't expect that the family was so useless and just held the bottom price without discussing anything. Now, it's a bit difficult to deal with.

"Actually, with the reputation of this painting, imitations should be very good. However, whether it is a person in the circle or an outsider, he is willing to spend millions to buy a work that anyone knows is an imitation, unless this imitation is also a masterpiece, but Boss Wang..."

Boss Wang was stunned and suddenly woke up by Li Yi's words. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that he was a little whimsical. Thinking about it now, this painting is really a bit difficult to take action. If he really gets into trouble, let alone more than four million, he won't even be able to buy it!

He knew very well that the price he sold back then was basically of no reference value, because almost everyone in the circle understood what was going on, but...

"Brother, look...this...why, why don't you add some more?"

Li Yi shook his head and said:

"I regret it. I suddenly remembered that you could not buy it at the original price. Your purchase price is likely to be less than 3 million. In this way, it is still 20%, 3.6 million!"

"Oh! Don't tease me anymore! That's it, 4.2 million is 4.2 million, old customer, I admit it!"

In fact, bargaining for buying things is a great science. Many people are desperately thinking about the purchase price of the goods owner before bargaining. It seems that if they know this, they can minimize the other party's profits and then buy the things at an extremely favorable price.

But Tan Moxuan told Li Yi, what does the purchase price of the goods owner have to do with your buyer? Especially as an appraiser, the value of each item has a scale in your heart. You just need to bargain according to your scale. As for whether the boss comes in at a high price or picks it up on the roadside, it should be someone else's profit, and that's their own, what does it have to do with you?

Of course, this situation does not include finding a bargain, because it is a contest of ambiguous information between the two parties and is not universal.

The reason why Li Yi paid this price was a deeper consideration. First of all, he could get the painting at this price. Even if he didn't make a profit, he would never suffer any losses. Secondly, if he threw down such bait, the boss would definitely be the first to think of him if he had good things in the future.
