Chapter 124: Counting is Counting
In fact, Su Chen wasn't sure who was behind the trouble at first, after all, there were not a few people who offended in this auction.
Not to mention anything else, just those big antique dealers in Jinnan City, who are as famous as Lin Xiongye, have this reason to stumble on them, and those people also have this strength.
But the moment He Tian and Li Sen appeared in front of him, Su Chen immediately guessed that the masterminds of this matter were these two guys. and their ultimate purpose.
So after hearing that they asked for the old rosewood material, Su Chen was not the slightest surprised.
"One and a half million...... Sounds tempting. Su Chen touched his chin and made a contemplative gesture, then suddenly looked at He Tian, with obvious playfulness in his eyes, "But, why should I sell it to you?"
"Su Chen, don't be ignorant. β
He Tian looked at Su Chen, and there was a wave of anger breeding, "That old rosewood material, you only spent a million, and now you are given one and a half million, which is already very face-saving for you." β
Seeing He Tian's arrogant posture that has not changed for ten thousand years, Su Chen felt funny in his heart, took Lin Wanqing's hand, and prepared to cross this guy.
Seeing that Su Chen dared to ignore himself like this, He Tian's face was like eating a few flies, and he was about to speak, but Li Sen stretched out his hand to stop him, and then he looked at Su Chen again.
"Brother Su, wait a minute. Leeson stopped him.
To say that Li Sen is indeed much more clever than He Tian, even if his hatred for Su Chen is no less than He Tian's now, but on the surface, he still looks kind.
Although the two of them knew the relationship between the two parties, they didn't tear their faces after all, so Su Chen stopped and said with a smile: "What do you have to say?"
"Brother Su is polite. It's about the old rosewood in your hand, it's not a secret, in fact, I have an urgent need, I hope you can cut your love, brother. Li Sen said with a sincere face.
Su Chen showed a sudden expression, and blurted out: "It turned out that Sen Shao asked for it, you said it earlier." β
Li Sen was overjoyed when he said this, and a touch of excitement appeared on his face: "Brother Su agreed?"
"Not for sale!"
ββ¦β¦β
Damn, you don't sell it, but you say it as if you want to sell it.
Even with Li Sen's city, his face changed for a while, blue and white, which was really interesting.
Taking a deep breath, Li Sen forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart: "Brother Su, this old rosewood material is really important to me, two million, what do you think of this price?"
Two million is not a small number, and even Lin Wanqing showed a hint of surprise.
It seems that this old rosewood is indeed very important to Li Sen, since this is the case......
The corners of Su Chen's mouth were slightly hooked, this fat sheep who came to the door by himself, if he didn't slaughter it, he would be sorry for the audience.
"This ...... Hehe, I'm really sorry, that piece of rosewood, I also like it very much, and I am going to make it into a large rosewood carving, and the remaining leftovers, when the time comes, I will make a string of old rosewood bracelets and give them to Sen Shao. Su Chen shook his head with an apologetic expression.
"Two and a half million!" the mildness on Li Sen's face gradually disappeared, "At this price, even if you make it into wood carvings and bracelets, it will be about the same." β
"This ...... Sen Shao, it's really not a matter of money. Su Chen looked a little hesitant, but still refused.
Perhaps it was Su Chen's "arrogant" posture that angered He Tian, this guy snorted coldly, and his voice was cold and abnormal: "Su Chen, Sen Shao has already given you face." I know that there are still two antiques left in the auction organized by you and Lin Xiongye, and I am not afraid to tell you that if you don't agree to sell us the old rosewood today, you won't get a single antique, and when the time comes, you will know the consequences. β
"It's you!"
Lin Wanqing, who had not spoken on the side, heard He Tian's words, although she had a guess the moment he and Li Sen appeared, she was still uncontrollable anger at this time, "Why are you so excessive!"
"Excessive?"
He Tian squinted at Lin Wanqing, looking at her bumpy and perfect figure, and her fiery eyes did not hide it in the slightest, "Wanqing, you are still so naΓ―ve." However, if you are willing to agree to my pursuit, I can also help you get two antiques that meet the requirements, what do you think?"
This guy is really idiotic enough, even his little friend Li Sen standing next to him couldn't help frowning.
Although He Tian is ruthless enough and dares to fight, his IQ is indeed not high, if it weren't for the He family's great reputation in the Jinnan antique world, Li Sen would not necessarily cooperate with him.
Sure enough, Su Chen, who had always been willing to talk to these two pretending words, instantly turned cold, and a deep gaze was projected directly onto He Tian's body.
He Tian only felt a cold breath rushing from the tail vertebrae into his head, and he only then recalled that the Su Chen in front of him was not a small fish that he could handle, but a bloodthirsty giant crocodile.
Seeing that Su Chen wanted to leave again, Li Sen spoke again, his voice was low, with a hint of threat: "Su Chen, do you really want to break the net?"
Fish dead and broken?
Su Chen sneered in his heart, it's up to you?
"Sen Shao, what you said, I, Su Chen, have always been a pacifist, and I have never taken the initiative to provoke anyone. Su Chen's eyes swept over Li Sen and He Tian, the corners of his mouth curled, and he said lightly: "But things in the world are so strange, I don't make trouble, but I will find things by myself." You're right?"
"Three million!"
Li Sen was annoyed in his heart, but his face was still polite, he suppressed his anger, and said to Su Chen, "Three million, you tell me about the old rosewood for me." I asked carefully, this price, even if you make a wood carving bracelet, is about the same. β
Hearing the price of "three million", Su Chen stopped again and looked back at Li Sen with a little meaning.
This guy is actually willing to pay this price, it seems that this old rosewood material is indeed very important to him.
The scene was silent for a while.
"Since Sen Shao is so persistent, if I don't agree, it may be a little unkind. Su Chen showed a sincere smile, "I put the old rosewood in Wanqingzhai, Sen Shao, you can get it yourself, and then the money will be transferred directly to the boss of Wanqingzhai." β
"I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you much. β
After saying this, Su Chen led Lin Wanqing and walked forward.
Although Su Chen's consent has been obtained, Li Sen and He Tian did not have the slightest joy, from beginning to end, they should have taken the initiative, but they have been led by the nose, and in the end, they still spent a high price of three million, and whoever they replaced, it is estimated that they will vomit blood in depression.
Xiao Tao and the three of them also noticed that their young master's mood was a little wrong at this time, but they could only ask cautiously: "Tianshao, do we still want to continue to follow?"
"With, with, with a fart, don't you think Lao Tzu didn't spend enough money!?"
He Tian was furious, and the little brother was as quiet as a chilling cicada, but at this moment, Su Chen turned around and said loudly to them: "Hey, those three, hurry up and keep up, we are going to start, this antique street is still very long." β
The faces of the group suddenly looked as ugly as eating.
Ahead, Lin Wanqing was already about to laugh, and her delicate body was constantly twisting slightly, and her body trembled: "Su Chen, you are too bad." After laughing for a while, she asked again, "Are all the antiques you just selected fake?"
"No, at least the first porcelain cup from the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty is also a good antique. Su Chen said.
Lin Wanqing was a little annoyed when she heard this: "Hmph, it's really cheap for them." β
Su Chen didn't think there was anything, although the cup was not bad, but first of all, it was not complete after all, and it was still broken, and its value had been greatly discounted, and it was worth 10,000 pieces.
The reason why he wanted to buy it in the first place was just the psychological trick of the restorer.
Besides, in the wave just now, Su Chen had cheated He Tian and the others for more than 300,000 yuan, and the 10,000 cups should be regarded as his own good deeds.
Alas, I'm so kind.
Su Chen sighed in his heart, and took Lin Wanqing to continue to search for antiques in the antique street.
Without those three annoying flies, Su Chen's speed slowed down, and when he was about to reach the end of the antique street, he found two antiques that met his expectations.
A statue of Hetian Jade Guanyin, a powder box from the Qing Dynasty.
The prices are all more than 300,000 yuan, and the market price of the Hetian jade Guanyin statue is even more than 500,000 yuan.
However, the boss is also a knowledgeable person, and he will only sell after setting a price of 200,000 yuan, Su Chen grinded for a long time, and was stunned that he didn't drop a dime, and then Lin Wanqing on the side couldn't stand it anymore, so he directly paid for the Guanyin statue.
After the goal was achieved, Su Chen and Lin Wanqing did not continue to stay in the antique street, but prepared to Qichen and took the two antiques to the building where the auction was held.
The auction venue was personally designated by the Cultural Affairs Bureau, but the cost of the venue had to be paid by Lin Xiongye out of his own pocket.
Coming to the top floor of the building and walking into a room that had been heavily protected, Su Chen and Lin Wanqing put the two antiques they had picked up and leaked together with the other ninety-eight antiques.
This room is now only accessible to a few people, and the security personnel of the famous security company hired by Lin Xiongye have closely monitored this place to ensure that not a single fly can fly in.
When Su Chen once again checked all the antiques uneasily and made sure that they were all genuine, Lin Xiongye's phone called.
"Xiao Chen, that piece of wood has been taken away by He Tian and them. Lin Xiongye came with a chuckle.
Oh, I've already taken the bait.
The corners of Su Chen's mouth raised slightly, and he suddenly looked forward to it in his heart. He's always been a vengeful man.
β¦β¦
Because the government intends to build the name of Jinnan antique city, the third antique auction conference in Jinnan City has been almost all-round three-dimensional publicity, and the week before the auction was held, that is, after Lin Xiongye obtained the right to organize the auction, the advertisements were flying all over the sky.
The day before the auction, there were suddenly a lot of vehicles from other places on the streets of Jinnan City, not only from other cities, but also from other provinces.
So, on the afternoon of May 10, the auction finally kicked off.
Because there are 100 lots, the auction will be divided into two days.
"Su Chen, at the auction in the afternoon, you can go with me. β
In the morning, Jiang Qianyu called him.
Su Chen was a little strange: "Aren't you not very interested in antiques?"
"Actually...... It was my grandfather and grandmother, and they had their eye on two auction items, so they asked me to help them get them back. Jiang Qianyu's voice suddenly became a little twisted.
Su Chen didn't notice anything, and said, "Then you came to call me in the afternoon, you know where the auction venue is, right?"
"Yes. Then I'll call you in the afternoon. After saying this, Jiang Qianyu couldn't wait to hang up the phone.
