More than ten minutes later, Chen Xiu rushed back to the store.

"Mrs. Lin, this is the boss outside. The white shopkeeper said.

Mrs. Lin looked at it as an old dragon clock, not ninety but eighty.

"Hello boss. Mrs. Lin was about to stand up.

"Eh, you're always a person who can be my grandmother, don't do this, I really can't stand it. ”

Chen Xiu hurriedly asked Mrs. Lin to sit down, and said to the white shopkeeper: "What about the painting, I'll take a look." ”

"Here's me, boss, you've come and see. ”

Mrs. Lin opened the picture scroll in her hand and spread it on the table of the Eight Immortals, the painting paper has been some years, it looks very gray, and it is a candle dragon painted on it, with a human face and a snake body, with a candle in her mouth, standing and walking like a human.

Candle Dragon, a mythical beast in ancient Chinese myths and legends, is recorded in "Overseas Northern Classic" and "Great Wilderness Northern Classic".

Legend has it that his two eyes, one representing the sun and the other representing the moon, were so powerful that when they opened their eyes, they were bright in the sky, that is, day, and when they closed their eyes, the sky was dark, that is, night. But if it opens both eyes at the same time, the earth will be scorched by the heat.

The two eyes of the candle dragon on the painting are very expressive, although there are only a few simple brushstrokes, but it is as if a pair of eyes have been drawn alive.

No matter how Chen Xiu looked at it, he seemed to feel that the candle dragon was watching him.

"Good drawing. ”

Without waiting for the information in his mind to pop out, Chen Xiu called out as soon as he looked at the eyes on the painting.

The white shopkeeper on the side also praised and said: "What Saint Wu Daozi is best at is Buddhism, gods and ghosts, and characters, and this candle dragon is a must."

However, it's a pity ......"

The white shopkeeper pointed to the end of the painting and said, "There is no payment...... If it is taken out for auction, those who know how to do it can naturally see that this is Wu Daozi's handiwork, and those who don't know how to do it are estimated to be worthless. ”

At this time, a piece of information appeared in Chen Xiu's mind,

"Wu Daozi's authentic work is priceless. ”

Priceless!

Chen Xiu's heart is surging now, you must know that the "Holy Order" is already awesome enough, and the price given is only 500 million!

The few bronzes I saw in Mr. Zhang's house just now are definitely the most important weapons of the country, and any one who dares to take them out and sell them is a matter of targeting...... But these things are valuable, and they are still valuable.

This is the first time that Yu Pei has given priceless information.

"Boss, boss......"

The white shopkeeper standing on the side saw Chen Xiu staring at the portrait and gently pushed him when he was in a daze, and Chen Xiu recovered from the shock in his heart.

"Old man, our shopkeeper also said just now that the painting is genuine...... However, there are no seals or signatures on the paintings, nor are there any annotations or seals of our predecessors, so we are afraid that we will not find anyone to take over after accepting them......"

When Mrs. Lin heard him say this, she was very anxious, and hurriedly said: "Boss, I really need money urgently! My eldest grandson is still lying in the hospital waiting for my money from selling paintings to save his life...... When there was turmoil, my old man was tied up outdoors for a day and a night in the winter to protect this painting......"

The more the old lady spoke, the more excited she became, and for a while she burst into tears, Fang Qiong listened pitifully on the side, her eyes were moist, and she said, "Boss, or you can help Mrs. Lin......

Before she finished speaking, the white shopkeeper glared at her angrily, and Songshi and Ye quickly pulled her aside and whispered: "Fang Beauty, the most taboo thing in the antique industry is that outsiders open their mouths when the boss and the seller are negotiating, which can easily affect the boss's judgment."

If this painting can be sold for its own cost, it would be a real loss, wouldn't it be a loss for the boss out of his own pocket. ”

Fang Qiong is a college student in school, and she has learned a set of theoretical knowledge, but she doesn't know that there are so many Wanwan Taoists in practice, so she doesn't dare to say more at the moment.

"Old man, how much does it cost for your grandson to see a doctor?" Chen Xiu asked.

"Experts from the People's Hospital said that my grandson has brain cancer, and he must invite the top brain surgeon from abroad to operate, and the cost of surgery and drugs is estimated to cost 2 million...... A conservative estimate should be around three million. ”

"Well, I'll pay five million for your painting, I don't know if you're willing to do it. ”

"May ...... Yes!"

Mrs. Lin said excitedly: "I actually found many stores before I came to your house, and their statements are the same as the white shopkeeper's statements, and they all think that they are genuine and good paintings, but they are all afraid to accept them because they have not made a payment."

There are one or two that are willing to accept it, but they are only willing to bid less than one million.

Boss, if you are willing to pay 5 million to collect me, you are really a good person...... When my grandson is well, I will definitely bring him to the door to thank you in person. ”

Chen Xiu felt ashamed when he heard this, although he saw that the old lady was pitiful, but if there was no "priceless treasure" of Gu Yu's appraisal, Chen Xiu would naturally not offer a price of five million to buy a painting that was not paid.

Although Chen Xiu does not deny that he likes this painting very much, this painting is indeed expressive.

However, there are people who do the business that loses their heads, and who will be stupid when they lose money.

If there was no appraisal result of Gu Yu, Chen Xiu would not have opened a price of one million at most.

Therefore, the more he heard Mrs. Lin say words of gratitude, the more Chen Xiu undoubtedly felt guilty.

After the money and goods were light, Chen Xiu looked at Mrs. Lin's old appearance, afraid that something would happen to her, so he asked Lu Qian to drive her two Volvo S90s to send her back.

"Boss, it seems that we are going to lose a lot of money on this painting...... There is no painting that has been signed, even if someone is obsessed with Wu Daozi, they will not spend five million to collect. ”

When the shopkeeper Bai spoke, he deliberately kicked Fang Qiong, Bai Yide felt that Chen Xiu's actual failure to do business this time was all affected by Fang Qiong's intervention just now.

Fang Qiong also bowed her head with guilt, and she didn't dare to look at it directly.

Chen Xiu smiled and said to the white shopkeeper: "Lao Bai, don't scold the junior, I was willing to pay five million to buy it just now, but in fact, it was all my own free will, and I was not affected by Fang Qiong's words...... I really like this 'candlestick chart' myself, and I'm planning to collect it myself.

As the saying goes, it's hard to buy a favorite.

Others, Wu Sangui, can still be angry at the crown and become a traitor.

I spent five million on a painting I liked, and it was really nothing. ”

"Boss, even if it's your own collection, I won't interfere with this...... I also know that you are good to all of us, but there are still rules in the store, as the big shopkeeper I suggest that when you talk about transactions with customers in the future, no one who has not asked can no longer interject, whether to be punished. ”

Fang Qiong also knew that he had caused trouble just now, and he also tried his best to admit his mistake about the white shopkeeper's targeting.

"White shopkeeper, I will definitely abide by the rules in the future. ”
