Chapter 457 Meeting Again(1/2)
Chapter 457 Meeting again (first update, please subscribe!)
Zhou Jianguo has said before that he will never look down upon those antique collectors. Everyone has a strong hobby of collecting these antiques. Therefore, if he sees Zheng Banqiao's picture of the Chinese character Baishou, he will feel the same as Zhou Jianguo.
My collection thoughts are, what should I do when Zhou Jianguo arrives?
Once Zhou Jianguo and this man started bidding on this, any fool would see that there was something wrong.
If the stall owner still insists on selling, Zhou Jianguo doesn't care. He has enough money to bid for this word. However, he is afraid that the stall owner will say he won't sell it and Zhou Jianguo will really be in trouble by then.
Moreover, for those antique collectors, once they find an abnormality in this calligraphy, with their eyesight, they can quickly determine where the abnormality is. What will Zhou Jianguo do then?
Therefore, Zhou Jianguo had to get these two pieces of pastel porcelain as soon as possible. Without the attraction of these two pieces of pastel porcelain, the chance of anyone noticing this stall would be very small.
"Little brother, you are really discerning. These two pieces of pastel porcelain are the most precious antiques in my stall." The stall owner praised Zhou Jianguo for his discernment and was ready to tell a story.
The antique business is like this. The better you tell stories, the higher the price the antiques can be sold for.
Zhou Jianguo quickly interrupted the stall owner. He didn't have time to listen to the stall owner's story. He said bluntly: "Boss, I don't have much time to listen to your story. I was just preparing to buy some pieces of porcelain. No, I just happened to like you."
Two pieces of pastel porcelain, you don’t have to tell me which ones are available or not, it really annoyed me, I got up and left immediately, don’t you believe it.”
Zhou Jianguo pretended to be a hot-tempered young man this time. For such a hot-tempered young man, the stall owner would think carefully when setting the price to avoid bidding too high and directly deal with the hot-tempered young man.
It exploded.
The stall owner kept looking at Zhou Jianguo. He was indeed very young, about eighteen or nineteen years old. His clothes were okay. He seemed to be from a wealthy family, but his temper was indeed not very good. Such a person would explode immediately.
Therefore, if you want to make a deal, don't ask for a price that is too high, otherwise, once his temper gets angry, he will really turn around and leave.
I haven’t opened a business for half a month. This is the best opportunity to open a business and I can’t miss it.
Thinking of this, the stall owner said to Zhou Jianguo with a smile: "I spent a lot of money to buy these two pieces of pastel porcelain. If you like it, you can set a price yourself. As long as the price is right, I can sell them to you."
you."
The stall owner was taking a step back, fearing that the price he offered would directly expose the bad-tempered young man and leave, so he simply asked the young man to set the price himself, and then he would act according to chance.
"That's pretty much it!" Zhou Jianguo nodded, with a very sensible expression on his face. He played a young man with a bad temper so vividly that even a veteran like the stall owner couldn't see any flaws.
"I can pay 800 yuan for the pastel porcelain on the left, and 1,200 yuan for the one on the right. The total adds up to 2,000 yuan. How about it? This price is already considered affordable. The pastel porcelain outside is generally
This price.”
Zhou Jianguo said to the stall owner as if he was an expert. The muscles on the stall owner's face twitched slightly, and he almost laughed out of joy.
"You idiot, you mentioned that this price is the transaction price in the auction house. The real transaction price in the world is two or three levels lower than the transaction price in the auction house. Haha, I really made a profit today!" Stall owner
I thought with great excitement in my heart.
Of course, he thought so in his heart, but he showed a trace of embarrassment on his face and said: "This price is not good. The price you mentioned is just the price of ordinary pastel porcelain. Mine is the price of pastel porcelain."
of exquisite products.
I believe you also know the difference between the price of ordinary things and the price of fine things, so if you want to buy these two fine pastel porcelains, you will have to pay at least three thousand yuan!"
The stall owner only raised the price by a thousand yuan, but there was nothing he could do. The man in front of him had a very explosive temper. The stall owner did not dare to raise the price too high, lest he lose his temper and leave immediately.
If it were other buyers with a better temper, the stall owner's price at this time would directly reach five to six thousand.
This is the advantage of Zhou Jianguo pretending to be a grumpy young man. Everyone knows that such a person has a good temper, so when setting prices, they will be very careful and dare not raise the price.
"Three thousand yuan!" Zhou Jianguo frowned, with a look of displeasure on his face, as if he was about to lose his temper.
Seeing this, the stall owner felt a thump in his heart and realized that something was wrong, so he quickly made amends.
"Hey, forget it, forget it, I haven't opened one for more than half a month. I finally opened one today, so I can give you an advantage. In this way, these two pastel porcelains are high-quality products after all, so the price is still three thousand yuan.
, but you can find another one among my other antiques as a gift, how about it?"
After saying that, the stall owner looked at Zhou Jianguo carefully, fearing that Zhou Jianguo would still be dissatisfied.
For the stall owner, if the business is concluded this time, he will actually make a lot of money.
Just like what Zhou Jianguo thought just now, the most expensive items in his stall are these two pieces of pastel porcelain. Although other antiques are also of some value, any opinions in them are only worth one or two hundred yuan at most.
, now that such an antique can be exchanged for one thousand yuan, the stall owner is really making a lot of money.
Of course, this is what the stall owner thought, but little did he know that when Zhou Jianguo heard the stall owner's words, he almost jumped out of surprise.
"What is a surprise? This T code (not a typo) is called a surprise. Who would have thought that this guy would give me such a big surprise!" Zhou Jianguo was so excited that such a good thing could happen to him.
Originally, he was still thinking about how he would ask for the picture of Zheng Banqiao with the word "hundred years of longevity" in it. Now he was fine. With the words of the stall owner, his biggest problem was solved.
"Well, today is indeed my lucky day!"
Zhou Jianguo was extremely pleasantly surprised, but he had a very dissatisfied look on his face. He looked at the stall owner, who just looked like he was about to gather, and then said helplessly, "You
, is really too cunning, obviously knowing that I like these two pieces of pastel porcelain, so I did this trick, hum!"
"Okay, it's only 3,000 yuan, and what about gifts?"
Zhou Jianguo pretended to be very casual, looked at other things on the stall, and then pointed directly at the picture of Zheng Banqiao with the character "hundred years of life" and said: "Just the picture of Zheng Banqiao with the character of "hundred years of life". It happens that next year my grandfather will be 80 years old.
It’s my birthday, and this picture of Zheng Banqiao with the Chinese character “hundreds of years old” can be used as a gift for grandpa.”
Having said this, Zhou Jianguo suddenly said: "Boss, is this picture of Zheng Banqiao's "hundreds of years old" in Chinese characters real?"
"It's absolutely true. If you don't believe it, you can take it to any calligraphy, painting and antique store on the street and ask. If it's fake, I'll pay you ten times!" the stall owner said seriously.
The antiques he sells are all genuine, which to be honest is really rare.
As for why this stall owner sells all genuine goods, the reason is very simple. One is that he does not want to cause any other troubles. He does not want others to buy them back and find out that they are fake and come back to trouble him.
Secondly, after all, he comes from a well-known family. He cannot do such things as selling fake goods, and he would not do it with disdain.
To be honest, sometimes Zhou Jianguo admires the persistence of some famous disciples.
They are quite persistent about some things. For example, if they encounter any injustice, they will really stand up. No matter how complicated the matter is, no matter if his life is in danger if he participates, he will still never look back.
Get involved.
Such a person is indeed very admirable, even Zhou Jianguo admires him very much.
It's a pity that such people are only a minority, and most of the disciples from famous families are extremely ordinary.
People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, the moon waxes and wanes, and things in the world are not perfect. It is just like the bright moon in the sky. There are times when the moon is full, but there are also times when the moon is waning.
Even the moon in the sky has undergone such changes, let alone people.
"Okay, I believe you!" Zhou Jianguo nodded to show that he believed it.
In order to avoid accidents, the stall owner added some explanations: "Sir, don't think this is not a painting by Zheng Banqiao, just because it is not of high value. Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy is indeed not very valuable, but this picture of Baishou calligraphy is really
It is extremely rare, and with Zheng Banqiao's reputation, it may become an extremely rare item in the future. Therefore, sir, please store it carefully after buying it, and there will definitely be a big price in the future."
The stall owner spoke extremely sincerely. These words were not his words to fool Zhou Jianguo, but his true words.
He really thought that Zheng Banqiao's "Hundred Life" calligraphy painting would be so popular in the future. Zheng Banqiao was indeed famous for his paintings, but when his fame reached a certain level, not to mention his paintings, even one of the Four Treasures of the Study he used
Things like this will become extremely valuable, not to mention that there may be only one picture of the Chinese character Baishou.
Zhou Jianguo could hear the stall owner's sincerity, so he nodded secretly, somewhat agreeing with the stall owner.
This stall owner is indeed visionary. In the future, the price of antiques will really skyrocket. Increases of dozens or hundreds of times are quite common. Some antiques may even increase by a thousand or ten thousand times.
The prices of Zheng Banqiao's paintings will skyrocket by tens of thousands of times in the future. Some of Zheng Banqiao's paintings now only cost one or two hundred yuan, but after forty years, if you want to buy them, you will have to pay at least five yuan.
Prices above one million.
The stall owner was so honest that Zhou Jianguo didn't do anything more and said cheerfully: "Boss, this is three thousand yuan, you order it!"
After saying that, Zhou Jianguo took out three thousand yuan and handed it to the boss.
The stall owner had a look of surprise in his eyes, and he quickly took the three thousand yuan and counted it in less than half a minute.
"Three thousand yuan, yes, deal!" After saying that, the stall owner found three boxes and packed two pastel porcelains, as well as the picture of Zheng Banqiao with the word "hundred years old" in it, and handed it to Zhou Jianguo.
"Okay, deal!" Zhou Jianguo smiled and took the three boxes from the stall owner.
The moment he got the three boxes, Zhou Jianguo exclaimed in his heart: Great, I got the gems, I got the big leak!
Zhou Jianguo felt ecstatic in his heart, but he suppressed his inner ecstasy to avoid being noticed by the stall owner. However, a bright smile still appeared on his face.
The smile on Zhou Jianguo's face made the stall owner a little puzzled. He thought to himself: It's just two pastel porcelains, and the price is so high. Are you so happy?
The stall owner had no idea that what Zhou Jianguo cared about was not the two pastel porcelains, but the picture of Zheng Banqiao with the Chinese character "hundred years of life" in it, which contained eight thumb-sized red and sapphires.
The price of gems at any moment here is dozens of times the 3,000 yuan Zhou Jianguo just paid. Do you think that if you encountered such a good thing, would you be as happy as Zhou Jianguo?
Anyway, if it were me, I would be jumping for joy now!
Zhou Jianguo ignored the stall owner's inner confusion. He took the backpack on his back and prepared to put the three boxes in it.
"Hey, isn't this the casual cultivator from this morning?" Suddenly, a familiar voice came to Zhou Jianguo's ears, but a voice that Zhou Jianguo didn't want to hear.
In fact, when this man came over, Zhou Jianguo's mental power had already discovered him. Zhou Jianguo had been busy finishing this transaction because he saw this man and was afraid that he would come to cause trouble again.
"Yuan Jie, is this interesting?" Zhou Jianguo looked at Yuan Jie calmly.
Yes, the person coming is Yuan Jie.
As for why Yuan Jie came to see Zhou Jianguo again, the reason was very simple. He wanted to keep an eye on Zhou Jianguo to prevent Zhou Jianguo from escaping.
In addition, Yuan Jie has always kept the failure in his mind in the morning. From his birth to the present, he has never failed as embarrassingly as in the morning.
To be continued...
