Chapter 174: Treasure Tower (End)
The middle-aged man's bloodless appearance made Zhou Wenbin a little unbearable, but this circle is like this, individual sellers usually do not guarantee that antique items are genuine, which is also the rule of their circle.
Stepping into this folk antique circle, the treasure of the collection world is dazzling, you can only blame yourself for your bad eyesight, you buy me and sell it is something you are willing to do, and you can only swallow this loss after you hit your eyes.
But the middle-aged man already has the nature of fraud, the other party must know that this painting and calligraphy is fake, otherwise no matter how short of money, it is better to find some collectors who know how to do it than to find some rich people who don't know how to do it, after all, collectors know the value of this, and the price will only be higher and not lower.
There is obviously a fraud in this!
Zhou Wenbin pondered for a moment, but at this time he still couldn't think of any good way, and said to the middle-aged man helplessly, "You should report this matter first, regardless of whether the evidence can be collected or not, but leave a record in the Security Bureau, if the evidence is really found in the future, it may not be impossible to recover some of it." ”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's heart, which was numb by despair, finally felt a subtle pain, "Thank you, sir, then I'll go to the Security Bureau first." ”
As he spoke, he took the long box handed over by Pan Shiran with a numb expression, and slowly left the treasure building with the woman beside him.
"Ziyi, follow me upstairs to discuss. Zhou Wenbin looked at the back of the middle-aged man who was far away, sighed silently, and then his eyes fell on Pan Shiran on the side, "Little stone, continue to entertain in the lobby, don't be lazy to look at your phone." ”
"No, I was just entertaining a guest, and I just took out the silverware vanity box from the court in front of me and took a look. ”
As if the memory in his mind was stimulated by some words, Zhou Wenbin's steps suddenly stopped in front of the wooden stairs, "Speaking of which, Ziyi, didn't you buy a silver makeup box sent by an old man for 70,000 yuan before?"
The tall man was silent, looking at Zhou Wenbin quietly with a pair of eyes, and he didn't seem to have any intention of responding, but the elegant man in Tang costume in front of the stairs did say with great interest, "Ziyi, are you interested in buying another 70,000 yuan and making these two into a pair?"
"There's no need. ”
Zhou Wenbin's eyes flashed with a touch of interest, he felt that the transaction must be the most loss-making antique transaction since Shen Ziyi entered the circle, there were a lot of silver vanity boxes in the previous court, not to mention that the one Shen Ziyi bought at the beginning had very little room for appreciation, and 70,000 yuan was already the ceiling price.
Looking at Shen Ziyi's smile with a hint of wantonness, he couldn't help but quip, "Hey, don't be like this, you are willing to spend 70,000 yuan to buy a small object that can be recovered for 30,000 yuan, and now I ask you to patronize my store, can't you?"
"No, I can't. But the man rejected mercilessly, but glanced at him lightly, "Don't you have something to talk about? ”
"Ahem, don't say it, don't say it. Zhou Wenbin hurriedly put away the smile on his face and looked straight.
The two stepped up the wooden staircase and soon sat down in the living room on the second floor, the screen partition and the deliberately muffled sound made it impossible to detect what they were talking about, and Pan Shiran only vaguely guessed that it was related to the exhibition on Saturday night.
Just thinking about it, a slender figure walked out of the direction of the living room on the first floor, and I saw that a beautiful girl was beckoning him to come over, "Hello, which one do you like?"
"It's not. Lou Qingyu shook her head slightly, at this time her expression was a little complicated, her eyes were indescribably turbulent, just now her position was only a wall away from the stairs, Zhou Wenbin's voice was not deliberately lowered.
The words he said, if it were the second person, he might not understand what it was, but Lou Qingyu, who knew the price that Grandma had sold, knew the deep meaning of the words when he heard it, but he didn't expect that it was Shen Ziyi who bought the antique at the beginning.
It seems that she did Grandma a great favor at the beginning, even if it was just an unintentional move, but the girl's heart was throbbing unspeakably.
The girl raised her eyes slightly, stared at Pan Shiran, lowered her voice slightly, and asked, "I want to inquire about one thing, that former court silver vanity box, a while ago, was there an old man who once sold a similar one?"
Lou Qingyu seemed to be afraid that Pan Shiran would not remember, and did not forget to add a message, "It was sold for 70,000 yuan." ”
Pan Shiran looked stunned, and when he didn't know how to answer for a while, Lou Qingyu stretched out his hand and pointed up, with a bit of certainty on his face, "Excuse me, was it bought by the same Mr. Shen just now?"
Pan Shiran scratched his head, as if he understood Lou Qingyu's meaning, "Do you want to buy it back?" But I need to ask the third master what he means, he is a distinguished guest of our Treasure Building, if he doesn't agree..."
Lou Qingyu opened his mouth and interrupted Pan Shiran's words.
She suddenly hesitated, "Wait a minute, don't ask." ”
Want to buy it back?
Just heard Zhou Wenbin's words, Grandma's silverware vanity box was not given 70,000 yuan at the beginning, and this 70,000 yuan was the money that Shen Ziyi bought at the beginning, obviously he was very interested in this silverware vanity box, and even liked it very much, so he bought it at such a high price.
And this unintentional move was undoubtedly a charcoal in the fire for Grandma and her at that time, without this extra 40,000, she might not be able to pay off her aunt's debt so quickly, and the girl has been standing in place and thinking for a long time.
When Pan Shiran couldn't help but ask softly, a shallow smile rose on Lou Qingyu's lips, and he slowly murmured, "Forget it, a gentleman doesn't like people." "It might be better to be bought by him than to fall into the hands of others, so the big fool should cherish it, right?
"Thank you. ”
Saying that, the girl had slowly left the Treasure Building, and as soon as she stepped out of the threshold, the man sitting on the second floor inadvertently swept over, and when she saw the familiar shadow, her original cold expression became stunned, and her tall body stood up from the table suddenly, startling Zhou Wenbin next to her.
Before he could react, Shen Ziyi had already walked down from the second floor quickly, and the sound of "click" downstairs showed the man's hurriedness, doing two steps in three steps, looking like he was in a hurry to go out.
Zhou Wenbin on the second floor couldn't help but poke his head out and looked down in confusion, what the hell was going on? Why was he about to leave in the middle of speaking??!
As far as his eyes could see, he found that Shen Ziyi had actually crossed the threshold, and it was only a few seconds?Why was it so fast?And what they were talking about hadn't finished yet???
"Ziyi, what are you doing?
"Are you just leaving?"
"Hey, why didn't you answer me?"
The rapid three consecutive questions still did not stop Shen Ziyi's footsteps, standing at the steps, just glanced left and right, and saw the conspicuous figure in the crowd, with a touch of joy in his eyes, and took a step to chase in that direction.
In the noisy antique market, the voice of the man chasing all the way was muffled, Lou Qingyu's eyes fell on the small stalls on both sides of the street casually, a dazzling array of antique gadgets filled half of the ground, real and fake are difficult to distinguish, and there are also many silver jewelry.
The girl was a little troubled at this time, since the silver makeup box couldn't be bought, how could she explain it to Grandma?
