"Shopkeeper Ma, should you give me a satisfactory explanation?" Boss Qian snorted coldly and pushed the broken inkstone in front of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's face changed as soon as he saw it, and of course he could see it.

Fake!

"Boss Qian, where did you get your inkstone?" asked the shopkeeper.

"How dare you do it, don't you dare to admit it?" Hearing the shopkeeper ask him where the inkstone came from, Boss Qian's anger hit him at once.

Is this intended to be disrecognized?

The broken inkstone was obviously taken out by Xiao Liu just now, and then it was cut off by Xu Qiang, and the shopkeeper didn't know it, isn't it a debt?

"What dare you do and dare not admit it?"

"I asked you to prepare an inkstone for me, this piece is what you prepared for me, have you forgotten?" Boss Qian's anger became even stronger.

What the?

The shopkeeper was shocked and took it over to take a closer look.

"Boss Qian, this inkstone is definitely not what I prepared for you!"

"You don't have to quibble, Xiao Liu personally took it out of it, and he said that you made a special trip to prepare it for me, will there be anything wrong?"

"Xiao Liu?" the shopkeeper looked at Xiao Liu.

"The shopkeeper is indeed prepared by you!" Xiao Liu was about to cry.

Was this intended to be a scapegoat?

The inkstone worth 800,000 yuan, even if he sells it, he can't afford to pay for it.

"You've been arrested, you can admit it! And your store has surveillance, and the whole process is under surveillance, you can't deny it if you want to!" Xu Qiang said with a smile.

"Boss Qian, we have been dealing with each other for so many years, you should know my personality, there must be a mistake in one link, I will never deliberately give you a fake, but since the matter has come out, I will be responsible for the end, I will return the money to you immediately, I will continue to help you find the inkstone, and give it to you for free......" The shopkeeper glanced at Xu Qiang, did not take Xu Qiang to heart, only regarded Xu Qiang as a spectator, and concentrated on dealing with Boss Qian.

"But I'm going to use it to give it away, it's already past ten o'clock, I'm going to use it in the afternoon, can you find it before noon?" Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Boss Qian hesitated a little.

He has been dealing with the shopkeeper for many years, and the shopkeeper does not look like a cheater, the problem is that the inkstone will be used in the afternoon, and the time is too tight.

"If you're going to give it away, I have a piece of ......," Xu Qiang said.

"Your inkstone is worth a few thousand at most, and it can't meet the requirements of Boss Qian......" Seeing the inkstone that Xu Qiang picked up, the shopkeeper shook his head.

This inkstone has been in the store for more than half a year, how could he not know it?

When Boss Qian asked him to prepare an inkstone, he clearly pointed out that the value should not be less than 500,000.

And the inkstone in Xu Qiang's hand is too far away from 500,000.

"Are you sure it's only worth a few thousand yuan?" Xu Qiang smiled.

"Sure!" said the shopkeeper angrily.

It's the inkstone sold in his antique shop, and he bought it himself, can he not know what kind of goods it is?

"It seems that I blame you, you really didn't deliberately deceive Boss Qian, because your ability is limited, it is impossible to see that there is a fake!" Xu Qiang showed a sudden realization.

What the?

Hearing Xu Qiang's words, the shopkeeper's eyes immediately widened.

Xu Qiang was criticizing him for his lack of eyesight, and he was directly criticizing him in person, and now there are nearly 30 people watching the excitement, and they can all hear it clearly.

In front of everyone's eyes, the shopkeeper felt that his face was a little hot.

"Do you think the inkstone in your hand is valuable?" the shopkeeper sneered.

"That's right!"

"Okay, since you said that you are proving it, see how it is worth?" For Xu Qiang's repeated interjections, the shopkeeper was originally a little dissatisfied.

Now Xu Qiang questioned his ability again, saying to his face that he couldn't do it, the anger of the shopkeeper was almost uncontrollable, but he had to forcibly suppress it, so that he could endure it very hard.

It happened that Xu Qiang said that his inkstone was very valuable, so the shopkeeper found a way to let Xu Qiang prove that the inkstone in his hand was very valuable.

In fact, the shopkeeper knows best in his heart, and he can't prove it at all.

"Since you're not afraid of being embarrassed, you're welcome!" Xu Qiang picked up the fruit knife again and carved it on the end of the inkstone he bought.

"The shopkeeper, there is a problem with the inkstone given to Boss Qian, he can see it!" When Xu Qiang moved the knife, Xiao Liu quietly reminded the shopkeeper.

Hearing Xiao Liu's reminder, the shopkeeper's brows furrowed slightly.

At this time, people exclaimed, it turned out that Xu Qiang was digging with a knife, and suddenly a long strip fell at one end of the inkstone.

It is a stone strip, which happens to be a little smaller than the cross-section at one end of Yantai, with a thickness of about one centimeter, and the material of the inkstone is generally the same.

When he saw the falling stones, the heart of the shopkeeper hung in the air.

He had been in the antique business for decades, had seen and heard too much, and immediately realized that there was something wrong with the inkstone in Xu Qiang's hand.

The size of the inkstone is on the large side, and it is possible that someone has hollowed out the inside.

Just when he was suspicious, everyone exclaimed again.

It turned out that Xu Qiang erected the inkstone, and poured out a flat stone from the end that he had dug up, which was clearly a small inkstone.

It looks like a lotus leaf, and the carving is very exquisite.

"It's actually a Chenghua inkstone!" "You don't need to hold it in your hand to watch, the shopkeeper will judge that it is an inkstone in the Chenghua period.

During the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, many very exquisite inkstones were excavated in the Duanxi inkstone pit, many of which had exquisite patterns.

According to the shape of the pattern, the skilled craftsmen made the inkstone into various shapes, among which there is a lotus leaf-shaped inkstone, creating a precedent for the literati inkstone to pursue charm.

"The shopkeeper, I don't know what you think of my inkstone?" Xu Qiang put the newly dug lotus-leaf-shaped inkstone on the counter and pushed it in front of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper didn't care much about it, so he picked it up and looked at it carefully.

Soon he put it down, already knowing it.

"Judging from the style and carving of the inkstone, it should be that during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, the inkstone used by the imperial court officials was very well preserved, and the carving was also very exquisite!" commented the black face of the horse shopkeeper.

He also wanted to deliberately belittle, the problem was that he couldn't.

Because there are a lot of viewers now, and they are even taking pictures non-stop.

If he deliberately belittles, he will definitely be known by his peers, and once it gets out, it will affect his reputation, so he must tell the truth, no matter how reluctant he is in his heart.

"Then how much is this inkstone worth?" asked Boss Qian's eyes lit up.

"Conservatively speaking, it should be more than a million!"

The shopkeeper glanced at Xu Qiang and remembered Xu Qiang firmly.

He decided to wait for this matter to be resolved, and he must investigate Xu Qiang's origin clearly, and he suspected that Xu Qiang was deliberately trying to make trouble.

Expose the sale of fakes, and pick up leaks in the store.

Spreading it out, it has a very bad impact on their Ma family's antique shop.

"An inkstone worth more than one million?" Hearing the shopkeeper say that it was worth more than one million, it was not only the boss Qian who was excited, but also the people who watched the excitement.

The lotus leaf inkstone was taken countless photos by them in all directions.

That's big news!

In the antique shop of the Ma family, a young man bought an inkstone for 5,000 yuan, and then dug out a small inkstone from the inkstone in front of the horse shopkeeper, and the horse shopkeeper personally assessed the value of one million.

The thought of this made them even more excited to take pictures.

The shopkeeper couldn't stop it, because although he was in his 50s, he was not an old antique and knew that the current Internet was too powerful.

At the same time as he took the photo, the photo had already been uploaded to the Internet, and even if he stopped it, the uploaded photo would not be taken down.

"Little brother, do you see if you can sell me the lotus leaf inkstone? I'm really in a hurry, just now the shopkeeper said that the market price is about one million, I can add another 200,000 to you, and I will give you 1.2 million, what do you think?" Boss Qian said to Xu Qiang.

This inkstone is better and more suitable for him to take as a gift.

"What are you anxious about, didn't the shopkeeper already promise just now, he will help you find a piece!" Xu Qiang did not immediately agree.

"But it's too late now, and you just have it. Boss Qian said.

"Boss Qian, of course my promise is valid, don't be impatient, I will buy the lotus leaf inkstone, and then give it to you for free, it will be my apology!" Hearing Xu Qiang's words, the shopkeeper couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"What do you call the little brother?" the shopkeeper turned his head to face Xu Qiang.

"Xu Qiang!"

"Xu Qiang?" Hearing Xu Qiang's name, the shopkeeper felt a little familiar, as if he had heard of it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Immediately put it down for the time being, and the most important thing now is to buy an inkstone.

"Mr. Xu, you have also seen that Boss Qian urgently needs an inkstone, and it happens that you have it in your hand, since this is the case, I will buy it, Boss Qian has already quoted just now, he bid 1.2 million, I will give it to you at this price, what do you think?" said with a smile.

In his opinion, it is appropriate to buy it for 1.2 million, because the price it just quoted is low, and the actual market price should be about 1.5 million.

It's just that the market price activity of antiques is relatively strong, and he underreports it, even if it is known by his peers, it is impossible to say anything about him.

Xu Qiang shook his head and stretched out 5 fingers.

"You don't agree, do you want 5 million?" Seeing Xu Qiang's five fingers stretched out, the shopkeeper understood, and his face immediately darkened.

Even if it is sent to the auction, it is impossible to sell for 5 million.

Xu Qiang is a lion in Haikou at all!

"Mr. Xu, although your lotus leaf inkstone is very good, the market price will never exceed 1.5 million, and it is a bit too much for you to ask for 5 million, right?"

"It's not too much, it's not too much at all, I even think it's too cheap, it should go up more!" Xu Qiang didn't care if he could sell it.

If he can't sell it, it's a big deal to take it home and collect it himself, because he is not short of money at all.

"If you think the offer just now is low, I can add some more to you, how about 1.5 million?"

Bargaining in antiques trading is no different from haggling in the vegetable market, and you can only buy it at a lower price if you pull down your face to bargain.

"I'm not bargaining with you, my lotus leaf inkstone is a fixed price, that is, 5 million, either buy it or keep it for myself. ”

"Rob while it's hot!" Seeing Xu Qiang's bright smile, the shopkeeper suddenly understood that Xu Qiang was asking him to make a difficult choice.

The inkstone, Boss Qian is about to use it to give it away, and he has no time to find another piece elsewhere, and the inkstone in Xu Qiang's hand is the only choice.

If you don't buy it, it will delay Boss Qian's big event, and Boss Qian will definitely not let him go.

Xu Qiang asked him to make a choice, one was to buy the inkstone at a high price to break the fortune and avoid disasters, and the other was to delay Boss Qian's major event to offend Boss Qian.
