Chapter 32 The Unsuitable Buyer
"The vision of the shopkeeper Zheng ...... Sure enough, it's very sharp, I have a bad eye, and I really don't see any wonder, I'm ashamed. ”
Seeing Zheng Zheng asking, although the young people felt that this painting was extremely bad, it was not easy to say that it was too ugly. He couldn't stop looking at Zheng Zheng's expression when he spoke, and his words were quite careful, and he seemed to be still taking care of Zheng Zheng's face.
Seeing that the young man said this, Zheng Zheng was embarrassed to continue to ask. At first, he thought that this young man was moved by Zheng Bei to mock him, but now it seems that this young man did not have any malicious intent.
Zheng Zheng smiled and asked, "I know what level this painting is, and you don't have to take care of my face...... By the way, I don't know what you call it. ”
"My name is Xu Ran. The young man laughed. He looked at Zheng Bei who was sitting on the side, rolled his eyes, approached Zheng Zheng's side, lowered his voice and said, "Shopkeeper Zheng, although we don't have any friendship on weekdays, we are all familiar people. Your painting...... To put it mildly, taking this painting is really detrimental to your signboard. The guy sitting over there asked me to come over, so I came over to see the excitement, and I also want to remind Shopkeeper Zheng of you. This thing...... You need to dispose of it properly. ”
Xu Ran's words made Zheng Zheng's heart warm. He knew that Xu Ran meant this well, but now he couldn't tell him all about it, so Zheng Zheng shook his head slightly and said: "I have a problem, I have to find a solution to this painting, although this matter seems ridiculous, but there is no way to do it." I have written down your suggestion, and I am really grateful, but now I am busy and I can't take care of you. Why don't you just sit here and wait, and when I'm done with this, we'll have a good talk. ”
"I just look at the relationship with the antique street to remind the shopkeeper Zheng. Since Shopkeeper Zheng has his own reasons, then I am also relieved. ”
After Xu Ran finished speaking, he waved his hand to Zheng Zheng, secretly pointed to Zheng Bei who was sitting on the side, and said, "That ...... I don't know what his relationship is to you, but I see that he has been wandering around the antique street for a while, and I guess he has said something to the shopkeepers of other antique shops. ”
He lowered his voice and said, "Damn, although we are all doing business together, we can be regarded as rivals, but what is the matter with such an outsider coming here to make trouble? This can end up being the face of our entire antique street." I have to talk to other treasurers I know, and I can't let them help outsiders lose face to our own people. ”
"This ...... Thank you. Zheng Zheng's thanks were sincere. Zheng Bei informed the shopkeeper in the antique street in order to make him lose face in front of everyone, and Xu Ran was willing to mediate, which was a great help to Zheng Zheng.
"Don't say thank you, if someone else in the antique street gets involved with you, I might still be watching the excitement on the side. But no matter how much fun we play in the antique street, it is also our own business, and this outsider is involved in this matter, which is unbearable. ”
After Xu Ran finished speaking, he waved his hand at Zheng Zheng and left Donglai Pavilion.
Zheng Bei watched Xu Ran leave and snorted coldly, but he didn't have any disappointed expression.
"Is there any other way to do this? tsk...... It seems that this time he is really attentive. Zheng Zheng was sure that Zheng Bei had also heard the conversation between him and Xu Ran just now, but looking at Zheng Bei's unmoved appearance, Zheng Bei obviously had other ways to rely on.
"Boss, business is booming. ”
At this time, a middle-aged man pushed the door in, looked around the store, and said hello to Zheng Zheng at the counter.
"Are you ......" Looking at this unfamiliar face, Zheng Zheng was not sure what the other party meant, so he asked later.
The middle-aged man smiled, but ignored Zheng Zheng, and turned to Zheng Beidui, who was sitting on the side, and smiled: "Young Master Zheng, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"Damn, this old guy seems to be the main owner invited by Zheng Bei. ”
Seeing that the middle-aged man was very familiar with Zheng Bei, Zheng Zheng suddenly understood in his heart. The reason why Zheng Bei didn't care about Xu Ran's departure was that he contacted someone who was familiar with him.
The middle-aged man was dressed quite exquisitely, and he looked a little bit of family background and taste, and he was not temporarily found by Zheng Bei to fill the number. Zheng Zheng scolded secretly in his heart: "It's really open-minded, in order to hit me, Zheng Bei, you really spare no effort." ”
"I don't know where that painting is now, so I can open my eyes and look at this unique "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival". ”
The middle-aged man greeted Zheng Bei politely and said. As he spoke, his eyes looked at Zheng Zheng with a bit of sarcasm in his tone.
Knowing that this was Zheng Bei's person, Zheng Zheng also understood in his heart that Zheng Bei must have explained everything before this middle-aged man came over. Seeing the middle-aged ladyboy looking at the painting, Zheng Zheng smiled coldly in his heart, but his face did not show half a point of dissatisfaction: "The painting is here, please take care of yourself." ”
Gao Tong glanced at the painting on the counter, but he was not in a hurry to look at it, and instead said to Zheng Zheng: "This is the shopkeeper Zheng, right? My name is Gao Tong, and the shopkeeper Zheng can just call me Lao Gao. ”
Although his words were good, Gao Tong bit the words "young" heavily when he spoke, and his tone was full of disdain.
Antiques is the industry that values seniority and experience the most, and young people are basically not taken seriously in this industry. This can't be said to be prejudice, but those young people who have just entered the industry do lack some experience and the vision cultivated by years of appreciating antiques.
Therefore, the method of ranking seniority in the antique industry is very simple, that is, to look at the age of each person, and then look at how long they have been in the industry, although this method is a little crude, but most of the time it is reliable.
When Gao Tong saw Zheng Zheng, he felt a little contemptuous in his heart.
Zheng Zheng has made a lot of limelight in the Zheng family's mansion, and he knows about this, but Gao Tong still feels that Zheng Zheng is just a little lucky, and when it comes to the vision and experience of appraising antiques, how can he compare with himself who has been immersed in this art for several years?
His intention is very simple, one is to lose Zheng Zheng's face, put on a shelf of his old qualifications, and let him know the truth that there are people outside the world;
Although Gao Tong has been in the industry for twenty or thirty years, he can be regarded as an old qualification, but in the eyes of the Zheng family, he still has no weight, so when the old man of the Zheng family had his birthday before, Gao Tong did not receive an invitation.
And now, Gao Tong has regarded it as the best opportunity for him to be valued by Zheng Bei and enter the Zheng family's sight. So as soon as he came today, he held back his strength, and was ready to humiliate Zheng Zheng, and obeyed Zheng Bei's wishes.
"Old Gao, right?" Knowing what was going on with the other party's intentions, Zheng Zheng couldn't be polite with this Gao, he said with a smile: "I see that you have a good relationship with Zheng Bei, but why haven't you seen you on the old man's birthday?" Zheng Bei relies on you so much, why didn't he see him with you that day?"
Zheng Zheng's words were poking at Gao Tong's sore spot, and his face became a little unnatural. Even Zheng Bei, who was sitting on the side, was a little embarrassed at the moment, and he didn't know how to settle this matter.
Zheng Zheng saw that the faces of the two were embarrassed, and he knew that he had killed Gao Tong's sharp spirit, but he didn't chase and fight, just sneered twice, and sat on the seat with his eyes closed.
"Hey...... Hey. ”
Gao Tong laughed dryly, and was even more annoyed with Zheng Zheng in his heart. He didn't have any good intentions when he came this time, and Zheng Zheng's words made his face gloomy, which made Gao Tong's heart even more angry. He scolded Zheng Zheng twice in his heart, walked to the counter, and looked carefully at the "Qingming Riverside Map".
"Tsk, shopkeeper Zheng, your painting is really interesting. ”
