Chapter 268: A Broken Piano
During this time, Liu Nan has been thinking about a question, although the money he earns and his ability to make money is enough to live a luxurious life for several lifetimes, but a big man has nothing to do all day long, and he doesn't have a serious job, he always feels very awkward, but he thinks that he can't do anything but fight, and he can't be a security guard, right? When Liu Nan was very distressed, he thought of a perfect strategy, didn't he have a special ability? Then just open a gambling stone shop or an antique shop. bubble-()
As soon as he had the idea of opening a gambling stone shop, he was immediately strangled to death by Liu Nan in swaddling clothes, because he didn't have a place to open a shop.
Isn't that a business with Fan Luwei? Liu Nan can't do this kind of thing, and go to Yunnan? That is definitely an idle egg pain, his parents and relatives, including confidantes, are near the capital, and he ran to Yunnan, thousands of miles away, which seems to be not something done by normal people.
In this case, the only solution is to open an antique store, and the best place to open an antique store is Panjiayuan in the capital.
If you want to open a store, you can't open it with money, all kinds of preparations he has to find someone who knows the secrets to ask, Liu Nan's first thought is Yu Lao, it just so happened that today Yu Lao invited himself to his store, this is a great opportunity, Liu Nan will not give up.
Some people may say, looking for Yu Lao? crazy, right? People are also in the antique business, as the saying goes, peers are enemies, and people will sincerely help you?
For this, Liu Nan is not worried, peers are enemies, that is because there is competition, in this place of Panjiayuan, there are thousands or even tens of thousands of practitioners alone, no more than one, one less than one, not a lot less than one, will not because he does not open a store, Yu Lao will reduce a competitor, and Liu Nan is not arrogant enough to think that he has just opened a store, and he can mix with Yu Lao in Panjiayuan for decades, and has become a competitor of Taishan Beidou level figures.
This point must be clear in Yu Lao's mind, and people who do business must not have a few partners? Yu Lao is still very willing to win over Liu Nan, a potential stock.
Panjiayuan thrift market is located in the southwest of Panjiayuan Bridge, South East Third Ring Road, Beijing, Liu Nan did not drive, he was afraid of blocking himself directly on the road, so he took the subway, it took about half an hour, and he came to the destination.
This is the first time Liu Nan has come here, he has long heard of the beautiful scenery of Panjiayuan, and today he sees that it is indeed worthy of its name, the cries of various shops and stalls are mixed with the bargaining sound of Tiannan Haibei accent in an endless stream, and even some foreigners' voices are faintly heard, compared with the antique store that can be a bird in Zhangkou, it is simply the difference between heaven and earth.
"Sir, do you want to see antiques? We have everything in our store, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, all kinds of rare antiques, I guarantee your satisfaction, and I tell you, don't look at the Panjiayuan goods, but most of them are fake, only in our store there are real things. ”
When Liu Nan stood in the crowd and stopped to watch, a young man's voice woke Liu Nan up, and when he turned his head, he found that it was a man about his age.
According to Liu Nan's observation, this person should be a college student or something, and what he said to himself is obviously a memorized line, and there is no such slippery feeling, Liu Nan knows that most of these people are some work-study guys, although Pan Jiayuan has a lot of people every day, but there are many stores that can't stand it, so some stores hire a few college students to pull people, pull customers to their stores, and then give those college students a share according to their heads, this seems to be a very stupid method, but the effect is really good.
If you want to say that Liu Nan is indeed a good person, when he heard this, he didn't turn around and walk away, but agreed to come down, anyway, there is still a long time before the appointment with Yu Lao, those college students are also mixed food, so they will accumulate some yin virtue and go to each other, the big deal is that there are no good things in the store at that time, and it will be just a matter of coming out by yourself, of course, if it is a good thing, then Liu Nan is not welcome.
The result really disappointed Liu Nan, this person took himself to an antique shop composed entirely of fakes, those salespeople originally thought that Liu Nan was a Kaizi who didn't know anything, and was ready to kill Liu Nan, but they didn't expect that Liu Nan was more professional than them, and he completely taught those people a lesson, which made those people shout Liu Nan shameless.
After coming out of this antique shop, Liu Nan wanted to continue to go to other stores to have a look, but as soon as he went out, he was attracted by the items on a stall outside the door.
This is a small stall full of all kinds of guqin, covering an area of about a few square meters, at this time there are a few foreigners there in the bird language that Liu Nan does not understand, Liu Nan has been very interested in this qin since he was a child, if it is not for the limited economic conditions at home, maybe Liu Nan has really become a very powerful musician now, and now he sees this thing, he naturally does not want to leave like this.
It is true that Liu Nan likes the qin, but he really doesn't know much about this instrument, at best, he knows that the name of this thing is guqin or lyre, which is one of the oldest plucked musical instruments in China, which has been prevalent in the time of Confucius, and the others are unknown.
This is not that Liu Nan is not serious or does not work hard to learn antiques, but the guqin is really an unpopular project in various antiques, and the current antique market is mainly based on porcelain and calligraphy and painting, and this is the first time Liu Nan has seen someone sell the piano.
The owner of the stall also noticed that Liu Nan seemed to be very interested in his things, and he was not very happy to chat with the two foreigners just now, so he immediately came over and greeted: "The young man likes the guqin? ”
"Hehe..." Liu Nan smiled and didn't say anything, although he hadn't used ice qi to check the authenticity of these pianos, but he also understood that it was not easy to have one or two of these dozens of pianos to be genuine.
Although the proportion of the piano in the antiques is not high, but its price, but people secretly smack, a few years ago in the Hong Kong auction, two famous pianos have been auctioned, the transaction price is more than 20 million yuan, today there is a Song Dynasty famous piano called Songshi Yiyi, auctioned a sky-high price of 150 million yuan, so that many people's attention has shifted to this originally did not care about the guqin.
As for these guqins in front of this person, if they were all true, he would have gone to live the life of a fairy on a small island with a beautiful wind and good air, how could he still set up a stall here?
Liu Nan didn't know the piano, he couldn't tell the truth or falsehood, so he could only watch these pianos once with ice gas, and as a result... Naturally, as Liu Nan thought, none of these pianos are genuine, all of them are modern forgeries.
"Little brother, at first glance, you are a connoisseur, you look at this red sandalwood guqin, this workmanship and this material, it is definitely the best choice for people who love the piano, if you like it, I won't ask you more, you will take 200,000 yuan, how about it?"
Two hundred thousand?
Liu Nan didn't speak, just 200,000 yuan of this broken piano? If it was really made of red sandalwood, Liu Nan couldn't say that it would be on the face of the wood, and it was really possible to buy it and put it at home for collection, but the key was that this piano was not the bullshit red sandalwood that the boss said, it was just a piece of broken wood with a little paint on the outside, and he couldn't hide this from Liu Nan.
Seeing that Liu Nan didn't say it, the boss thought that his price was going to be high, and immediately said: "Such a little brother, if you think the price is a bit high, we can discuss it again, I can also give you a sandalwood piano case, what do you think?"
The boss said and took out a box for the guqin, which was indeed sandalwood from the outside, but Liu Nan just moved his left arm to see that the box was exactly the same as the guqin.
"Boss, to be honest, I'm also a guy who likes the piano more, so I'm not talented, I can still see the quality of this piano, unlike the two foreign pigs next to me who don't understand anything..."
Liu Nan said and glanced at the few foreigners who were discussing with relish, and at the same time those people also looked at Liu Nan, because they didn't understand Chinese, they thought that Liu Nan was greeting them, and immediately said in extremely non-standard Mandarin: "Hello... Thank you...", which made Liu Nan sweat profusely.
When the owner of the stall heard Liu Nan's words, he smiled awkwardly, he knew exactly what these pianos were, but if he was mixed in this Pan homeland, he would only be eliminated if he would not kill people, so he was not annoyed by Liu Nan for exposing him, and said with a smile: "Since you are also an expert, little brother, then I won't talk about that nonsense, if you like it, 10,000 yuan, you will take this piano." ”
"10,000 yuan?" Liu Nan can also accept this price, for his childhood dream, he is also willing to spend 10,000 yuan, but the necessary bargaining still cannot be saved.
"10,000 yuan is still a bit much, boss, I like this piano a lot, can you see 5,000 yuan?" Liu Nan said.
"Five thousand?" The boss deliberately frowned, in fact, this price could already make him earn a lot, but he still spoke: "Little brother, I really lose five thousand yuan, the minimum is eight thousand, I'll give you this piano case too, okay?"
"Okay. Liu Nan really didn't care about a few thousand yuan, so he agreed.
The boss was immediately overjoyed, and immediately opened the piano box, and was about to put the piano that Liu Nan bought, but the boss may have forgotten that when he opened the piano box again, there was already a guqin in it, so he took it out and put it aside, and then put Liu Nan's piano in.
"Wait..."Suddenly, Liu Nan spoke, his expression at this time was extremely solemn, he had never even had such an expression since he was a child, and his eyes were even more staring at the "broken qin" that had just been taken out of the piano case!
