After finishing the gossip, Zhou Jianguo put the set of bronze figures away and looked at the stall owner. The stall owner also looked at Zhou Jianguo. Both of them knew that the next 'battle' was about to begin.
Zhou Jianguo spoke first and said: "Boss, this set of copper figures is really great. Just tell me what the lowest price is. As for the price of 10,000, don't say it. We all know that this is not the lowest price. You offer a lowest price."
If the price is right, I'd like to buy them."
The smiling face of the stall owner turned a little serious at this moment, but the smile in his eyes could not be concealed. From Zhou Jianguo's words, he could tell that Zhou Jianguo really wanted to buy this set of bronze figures, so he said
, I’m going to open my own business today.
As the saying goes, if you don't open for three years, you will eat for three years if you open. This time, he wanted to take another bite from Zhou Jianguo no matter what.
"Young man, you are really discerning. Let me tell you, my set of Arhat Bronze Figures is extraordinary. It was made by an eminent monk from our Shaolin Temple eight hundred years ago. It not only contains a set of secret methods for practicing Arhat Quan
, Moreover, the eminent monk has not consecrated it. This is a very rare treasure. With it, you can not only practice Arhat Boxing, but also you can be trained by the eminent monk's Dharma. Such a good treasure, young man
, don’t miss it!”
The stall owner did not negotiate the price. Instead, he first informed Zhou Jianguo about the origin of these bronze figures.
Come on! Today's warriors have also learned to talk nonsense and tell stories like those outside. Now, this stall owner started telling stories, preparing to fool himself!
"Eight hundred years ago, during the Song Dynasty, the Shaolin Temple had already hid the fine gold, so there was no threat of monsters at that time. In other words, the outbreak of monsters was before that." Zhou Jianguo said secretly.
nod.
The threat of the world of monsters and monsters is imminent. Zhou Jianguo wants to investigate how his predecessors blocked the world of monsters and beasts. If he had the experience of his ancestors in resisting the world of monsters and monsters, Zhou Jianguo could save a lot of trouble.
Therefore, Zhou Jianguo has been investigating related matters in the library recently, but he basically came back empty-handed.
One is that Zhou Jianguo didn't know when the monster crisis occurred at that time. There was no specific point in time. It would be quite difficult for Zhou Jianguo to investigate it in the vast history of thousands of years.
In addition, the ancestors destroyed the experiences of that period in too much detail, and no matter what Zhou Jianguo did, he couldn't find much useful information.
Now with this information, Zhou Jianguo can narrow down the scope. Since the Shaolin Temple hid the fine gold at that time, it is obvious that the monster no longer existed at that time. Otherwise, the Shaolin Temple would never have hidden the fine gold.
As for why the Shaolin Temple hid the fine gold, Zhou Jianguo didn't know, and he didn't want to know. Anyway, the fine gold now belongs to him and no one can take it away.
Zhou Jianguo just looked at the stall owner with a smile on his face, and his face was completely like, "If you continue talking, I will listen like an ancient tree." The stall owner suddenly lost his interest in continuing.
As an audience member, Zhou Jianguo had such a look on his face. If he continued speaking, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?
Zhou Jianguo really wanted the stall owner to tell more about what happened at that time. Unfortunately, the stall owner was obviously not a good student. The things he knew were only written down for the purpose of the story. Other things,
He doesn't know much.
No, soon this stall owner could no longer talk. Even though this stall owner was telling stories very smoothly just now, in fact, he was able to tell stories so smoothly because he told this story a lot.
He has long remembered it very well. In fact, he doesn’t know much about other things. Otherwise, he would not sell such a precious set of bronze figures in the warrior market. If he really knew the eight hundred
What happened years ago, he had already taken out the fine gold inside.
There are a full 180 kilograms of fine gold in the nine bronze figures. The value of this fine gold is such that even if the stall owner has set up his stall for thousands of years, he will not be able to earn even one percent of it.
Seeing Zhou Jianguo's expression that the story sounded good to him, the stall owner was completely speechless.
Originally, when he saw Zhou Jianguo being so young, he thought he must be a newbie who had just come out to see the world. He had to teach this newbie a good lesson no matter what, so that he would know the evil in the world.
However, after seeing Zhou Jianguo's sophisticated response, the stall owner knew that he had met his opponent.
Even though he was very young, the stall owner felt that Zhou Jianguo was extremely difficult to deal with.
"Young man, seeing as the two of us get along quite well, I think this set of Arhat copper figures is worth 9,000 yuan. What do you think? If you think the price is right, you can pay and take it now.
"
Hearing the stall owner's offer, Zhou Jianguo almost laughed with joy.
Nine thousand yuan, this price can't even buy the skin of this set of Arhat Bronze Figures, and this stall owner looked like he was taking advantage of you. Zhou Jianguo almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.
If this stall owner knew that his set of bronze Arhat figures was worth at least several billion, I believe he would definitely be dumbfounded.
Boss, you have picked up sesame seeds and lost a whole big gold nugget!
Boss, you definitely did a lot of bad things in your last life, otherwise, how could such bad luck come to you.
Even though his heart almost jumped with joy, Zhou Jianguo did not immediately nod his head and agreed to the price, but began to discuss the price with Yanzhu.
This is another point that needs attention in the antique industry. When you decide to buy, you must negotiate the price and make it clear what currency it is.
Every stall owner who sets up a stall in the antique market is a smart person. Once he sees you eager to make a deal, unless it is something he knows is definitely fake, anything he can't make up his mind about, this stall
The Lord will regret it.
As for the excuse for regretting it, it is very simple. The stall owner can say that the price unit we are talking about is rice gold, not red gold.
If you even agree to such a price, then the stall owner will not sell this antique to you, and he will find countless reasons to deal with you.
For example, he would say that he had just forgotten that this antique had been ordered by someone before, and that he had no idea just now and did not put it away. Then, a "guest" as he called him came back to the stall soon, and what happened next
I believe everyone can guess it without me saying much.
Therefore, when buying and selling antiques in the antique market, you must be careful, careful, and more careful.
The water here is very deep. If you are not careful, you will definitely drown.
"Nine thousand yuan? No, this price is still expensive. The most precious thing about your set of Arhat Bronze Figures is the Arhat Fist. Without this Arhat Fist, this set of bronze figures will not even cost two hundred yuan.
No need. You have said before that Luohan Quan is the lowest-level foundation-building boxing technique in your Shaolin Temple. Such low-level foundation-building boxing techniques only cost one or two thousand yuan in the market. Now you want nine thousand yuan, boss.
You are making too much money!
Besides, I'm not sure yet whether the Luohan Fist above is real. After buying it, I still need to practice and test it. If it's real, I don't mind spending the money. But if it's fake, the boss will do it when the time comes.
Will you pay compensation?”
"Compensate?! I'll accompany you!" the stall owner shouted in his heart.
However, Zhou Jianguo's words are indeed very reasonable, especially the sentence above, "In the world of cultivation, the number of secret cultivation methods of the same level is only one or two thousand at most", which made the stall owner's face turn red.
He understood that there was indeed a lot of water in his price, but when Zhou Jianguo exposed it directly, the expression on his face turned a bit ugly.
It was ugly, but business still had to be done, so the stall owner asked directly: "Then tell me how much money you can pay."
Zhou Jianguo thought for a while and said: "Although Luohan Fist is a low-level foundation-building boxing technique, it is still quite famous in the cultivation world, and it is also considered the top-level foundation-building boxing technique. Therefore, Luohan Fist alone
I can give you four thousand yuan for the secret method."
"Then there are these nine Arhat bronze figures. Although their maker is just a senior monk in the Shaolin Temple and has no reputation at all, they still have a history of more than 800 years, and the skills of the senior monk who made them are indeed exquisite.
, In this way, I can add another thousand yuan, for a total of five thousand yuan!"
"Five thousand?" The stall owner frowned, feeling a little unwilling to agree.
There was no other way. The price Zhou Jianguo said was so accurate that he felt very uncomfortable. If the deal really cost 5,000 yuan, then why did he have to spend so much effort to get these several hundred kilograms of bronze figures from the Shaolin Temple?
I have come all the way to Huajing.
Not to mention other things, just transporting him from Shaoshi Mountain almost exhausted him to death, and then he had to be taken on the train and brought here. Who knows the hard work in the middle, so if it is really just
If you sell it for five thousand yuan, you might as well send it directly to the homes of some lay disciples in Shaolin Temple, and you can still get the same price, no, even higher.
I spent so much effort to bring these nine Arhat bronze figures from Shaolin Temple to sell here, don't I just want to sell them for a few more dollars? If the price is so low, who would be willing to sell them.
The stall owners in the warrior market are still much worse at negotiating prices than the stall owners in the antique market outside. If it were the stall owners outside, the first quotation would not be 10,000 or 9,000.
For such a precious and rare secret cultivation technique, he would at least quote 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.
Later, when Zhou Jianguo found excuses to counter-offer, he would also find many reasons to increase the price.
For example, take consecration.
If an antique is successfully opened by an eminent monk, it is no longer an antique, but a magic weapon.
The price of antiques is the price of antiques, and the price of magic weapons is the price of magic weapons. Moreover, the price of magic weapons is many times higher than that of antiques.
At this time, the stall owner would use the reason that these bronze figures were magical artifacts to greatly increase the price. Zhou Jianguo, who knew the details of these bronze figures, finally had to stick out his head and give the stall owner a severe chop.
Therefore, this stall owner in the warrior trading market is far inferior to the stall owners in the antique market outside. Who knows the huge difference between consecrated and unconsecrated? If he knew, the price of these bronze figures,
At least one zero had to be added, and Zhou Jianguo had no choice but to agree because of the fine gold inside.
It can be seen that there is nothing wrong with saying that professional matters should be left to professionals.
The stall owner seemed to be professional, but in fact he was not, which resulted in a huge loss of a lot of money.
"I will never sell it for five thousand yuan. So, for eight thousand yuan, I will give you another thousand yuan. If you pay eight thousand yuan, you can take away these Arhat Bronze Figures."
The stall owner said firmly and offered a new price.
Zhou Jianguo felt funny in his heart. In fact, he could agree to the eight thousand yuan, but since he was here to pick up the leak, of course the lower the price, the better, so he started bargaining again.
"How about 6,000 US dollars? To be honest, this price has exceeded the actual price of these Arhat Bronze Figures. The transaction at this price is really very good!"
A hint of joy flashed in the stall owner's eyes. Zhou Jianguo took the initiative to raise the price, or by a thousand yuan, which made his expectations higher. Therefore, he basically didn't think about it and just shook his head and refused.
"Six thousand yuan is not enough. The price is too low. I brought these nine bronze figures weighing several hundred kilograms all the way here from Shaolin Temple. If I sell them for only six thousand yuan, it is really too low. In this way,
I will also lower the price, how about 7,800 yuan, this is my bottom line, if it works, you can pay and take away these Arhat copper figures, if not, forget it!"
The stall owner gave an ultimatum. Judging from his current expression, it seemed as if it was true. However, Zhou Jianguo didn't believe the stall owner's nonsense. This was the final price bottom line in his heart.
In the antique market, as long as they set up stalls, there is no lowest price bottom line for them. This is all nonsense. For them, as long as they can make money, there is nothing they can say, and there is no bottom line they cannot break.
