Chapter 110 Comparing the heart to the heart is the Buddha's heart
"My old man used to like to say a sentence, what is it called......" Zheng Zheng frowned and thought about it, and said, "...... Comparing the heart to the heart is the Buddha's heart. I didn't really understand what that meant before, but now that I think about it, it really means. ”
"Humph!"
Sun Sheng saw that Bai Peng had a look of shame on his face, and he didn't expect him to say anything, so he simply dealt with Zheng Zheng by himself: "The antique shop is originally a place to fight for vision, you won't understand this, right?
"Yes, that's it. ”
Zheng Zheng nodded in agreement, and then said: "But it also depends on what kind of leak is picked up, and whose leak is picked up."
There is a rule in the antique shop that does not pick up leaks, although there are not many people who follow them now, but there are really not many people who can be cheeky to pick up this 'poor leak'. If the value of this leak is not high, it will be fine, if the stall owner does not count on this, then forget it, but in this case, I have to pick up this leak and find some reason for myself......"
"Tut-tut......" Zheng Zheng looked at Sun Sheng and shook his head repeatedly: "It's really a good archway." ”
Sun Sheng's teeth rattled, he stared at Zheng Zheng fiercely, nodded and said, "You...... It's good, it's good...... It's possible that you've forgotten something, and I might not be able to help you in the black market, but what about when you get out of the black market? I want to find you, it won't be difficult. ”
Zheng Zheng plucked out his ears, squinted at Wang Di, and asked, "This is considered a threat, right?" Di Shao, can you hear it, if there is any accident, this matter will have to be counted on Sun Shao's head." ”
"Hmph, we'll see. ”
Sun Sheng smiled coldly, turned around and left the stall. He knew that he would never be able to bargain for anything this time, and he would not be able to buy the incense stick if he stayed any longer, so it was better to leave it early.
Sun Sheng left, and Bai Peng naturally couldn't stand. He looked at Zheng Zheng and shook his head, sighed lowly, and followed Sun Sheng out of the stall.
"This ......"
The stall owner heard the conversation between several people clearly, and although he was not in the antique business, he still knew what it meant to pick up leaks. Now that Sun Sheng and the two have left, no one has picked it up, but this incense tube has not been sold, and he doesn't know how much this incense tube is worth. For a while, the stall owner was entangled in his heart, and he didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed.
"Don't be upset, I'll tell you something right now that makes you happy. ”
Zheng Zheng smiled, picked up the incense stick, turned it around in his hand, and said to the stall owner with a puzzled face: "Do you think this incense tube is worth a lot now, but you don't know how much this incense tube is worth, and I don't know how much this incense tube can be worth? Don't worry, I'll tell you." ”
When the stall owner heard this, he immediately looked at Zheng Zheng with anticipation, but Zheng Zheng smiled, but he turned his mouth and said: "But I have my rules, and I also have to collect money for the appraisal of antiques, and now I want to give you the appraisal of this incense tube, if I don't collect money, I will break my rules......
"This ...... The ......" stall owner didn't expect Zheng Zheng to say such a thing, which made him not know what to say for a while.
Believe it, right? This young man doesn't look particularly reliable, and it's hard to guarantee that he is not cheating; don't believe it? This young man made those people leak through in a few words, and it looks quite presentable...... But taking a step back, what if these people were acting in front of them?
For a while, the stall owner's head was like a pot of boiling water, and his thoughts were like blisters, and he couldn't make up his mind.
"That's it," Seeing the stall owner's embarrassed expression, Zheng Zheng stopped amusing him: "You gave me that cigarette just now, give me another one, even if you paid me to strengthen this incense tube for you." ”
"This is easy to say, this is easy to say. ”
The stall owner, who felt very unhappy, immediately became energetic when he heard this, and he hurriedly handed Zheng Zheng a cigarette, and said with a smile: "This...... Brother, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that there are many fish and dragons in this black market, we don't know each other, I'm really ...... Haha, smoke and smoke. ”
"It's normal for you to think so. ”
Zheng Zheng nodded, and said vaguely while lighting a cigarette: "Your incense tube is not made of wood at all, it is a bone." ”
"Then tell me, what kind of bone is this?" The stall owner asked while lighting a cigarette when he saw Zheng Zheng smoking and his own addiction to smoking.
"Ivory. ”
"What!?"
The stall owner's hand shook, and the lighter in his hand almost didn't fly out. He was calm, and he didn't care about lighting a cigarette, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Brother, let's not be joking, right?"
What is the concept of an incense tube carved out of genuine ivory, the stall owner knows in his heart, and this and the incense tube made of wood are completely two conceptual things. Its value is not at all comparable to the incense tube made of wood, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an inch of ivory and an inch of gold.
"No kidding. Zheng Zheng nodded and said, "This should be an old ivory, which was left for a long time before being used to make incense sticks, so that the ivory was dyed with this pale yellow trace." Ivory is something like that, either by hunting an elephant to get fresh ivory, or by finding a dead elephant that has become a skeleton of bones, and picking up one or two tusks to use, and the tusks used to carve the incense tube are the latter. ”
The stall owner held back the excitement in his heart and asked, "Then ...... price?"
"200,000 go up, 600,000 is a big mark, it's hard to say whether you can go over. Zheng Zheng looked at the incense tube with regret and said: "It's a pity that this incense tube didn't do the point of 'tattooing and decorating' when making it, otherwise the price would be higher." ”
The stall owner was dumbfounded, and when he looked at the ivory incense tube placed on the stall, he didn't want to mention how careful he was. He whispered "It's been a hair" as he took out a wooden box from the side and carefully put the incense stick inside. He is now glad that this incense tube was not damaged by him before, otherwise he would not even be able to find a place to cry now.
Seeing that the stall owner began to get busy, Zheng Zheng smiled and glanced at Wang Di on the side, and the two left the stall quietly.
"I'm getting more and more unable to see through you now...... Gee. ”
Walking not far away, Wang Di, who didn't talk much from beginning to end, finally couldn't help it. He looked at Zheng Zheng like an alien, shook his head and said, "How could you let this kind of cooked duck that you have caught by hand?" Learning from Lei Feng to do good deeds, I really didn't expect it to happen to you. ”
"Then let me ask you first, do you like that incense stick?" Zheng Zheng asked with a smile.
Wang Di shook his head: "I don't like it, Di Shao still likes that kind of imposing decoration, like some kind of bronze incense burner." ”
"Then do you have time to look for buyers in order to make those 200,000 or so dollars?"
Wang Di thought for a while, frowned, and said, "Two hundred thousand is not a small amount...... But Di Shao is busy all day long, and this kind of thing is really useless. ”
"Isn't this over?" Zheng Zheng spread his hands and said with a smile: "You don't like it, and you don't expect this to make money, so I don't need to pick up this leak for you." ”
"Not ......"
Wang Di shook his head and looked at Zheng Zheng with a puzzled expression: "Di Shao doesn't expect this to make money, what about you? If you take it and sell it at a high price, isn't it a net profit?"
"That's the reason, but you can't do it that way. Zheng Zheng shook his head and smiled: "You also saw it just now, everyone who buys and sells incense tubes has gone to the black market to seek business opportunities, how difficult this business is, you have a spectrum in your heart, right? ”
"This kind of leak is called poor leakage, and ordinary people are really embarrassed to pick up this leak. If you don't know what the seller's situation is, then you won't talk about it, and you will pick it up, which is an unintentional mistake. But if you know what the situation of the seller is, and deliberately put the amount of money very low to buy other people's things, and afterwards say that you have obtained such an opportunity by vision and experience, there is nothing wrong, then this is purely a bitch and set up a memorial arch for yourself. ”
"There's really nothing wrong with that......" Wang Di frowned and said: "This is business after all, can you still see someone who is having a bad time and reach out to save him? ”
"That's not the case. ”
Zheng Zheng stopped in front of a stall, and whispered while scanning the items on the stall: "It's not that this kind of leak can't be picked up, but you have to leave a way for others to live." For example, if you see something worth 200,000 yuan and want to pick up this poor leak, then you have to sell at least 70,000 or 80,000 yuan to others, which can be regarded as giving people a little way to live.
If you deliberately keep the price very low and then go to pick up the poor leak, hehe...... There is nothing wrong with this kind of thing in theory, but it is morally wrong. ”
"I knew that there was such an old man, who was also an old-timer in the antique shop, quite famous. Running an antique shop, this old man is not short of money.
However, once the old man saw a young man selling paintings at a roadside stall, and there was a work from the late Qing Dynasty in it, and the old man was itchy. This young man's situation is not very good, this is considered poor, but this old man didn't care about this, and after some bargaining, the old man bought this painting at a very low price, which is considered a big profit.
However, according to his family background, he can't look at this painting even if he realizes that money, purely to enjoy the pleasure of picking up leaks. ”
The day after buying the painting, the old man went out on a long trip, and the painting was placed in the store. And the seller came to the shop the next day to sell his paintings.
As a result, the more the young man looked at the painting, the more familiar it became, and after asking the fellow, the fellow gave him a price that he could not have imagined at all. Where can this be good? The boy was making a fuss. ”
"What happened later?" Wang Di hurriedly asked when he saw that Zheng Zheng stopped talking.
