Chapter Ninety-One: The Thimble
Zheng Zheng was about to negotiate this business with the stall owner, but Sun Sheng came out halfway. He stirred up the scene with a word, and after smiling at the stall owner, he also didn't look at the faces of Zheng Zheng and the others, and ordered Bai Peng to himself: "Bai Peng, tell me, how much do you think it is more appropriate to accept this bronze incense burner?"
Bai Peng secretly complained in his heart, he didn't want to get involved in this matter much in the first place, but Sun Sheng pulled him in again. However, he also takes Sun Sheng's salary, and now that Sun Sheng can use him, it is impossible for him to want to get involved in this matter.
"Ahem......" Bai Peng coughed dryly and said with a smile: "I agree with what Little Brother Zheng said just now. Although this bronze tripod is not a fake, it belongs to the genuine goods that I don't know what age it is, and this identity is more embarrassing. As for the quality of this bronze incense burner, it is a little worse, so the price will not be too high. ”
First, he gave Zheng Zheng enough face openly and secretly, and then Bai Peng thought about it and said cautiously: "Thirty thousand yuan...... This should be a fair price. ”
"No, what's this for?"
Zheng Zheng smiled and didn't speak, but Wang Di on the side couldn't help it. He squinted at Sun Sheng and asked unceremoniously: "Don't you see that we are talking to the stall owner about business? Even if you are in a hurry, you have to wait, you don't understand the principle of first come and then come, or what? Has no one taught you how to behave?"
Sun Sheng said unhurriedly: "People are open to do business, can they only do your business?" Hey, does Di Shao think that this is still in the capital, can you bully the market?"
After speaking, Sun Sheng turned to the stall owner and said, "30,000 yuan, boss, what do you think of this price?" ”
"Thirty-five thousand. Wang Di glanced at Zheng Zheng and saw that Zheng Zheng didn't mean to stop him, so he was confident in his heart. As soon as Sun Sheng's words fell, he raised the price.
"This ...... Two, you're ......"
The stall owner also saw that the two young people who came over together were not friends as they thought, and they were full of flavor when they spoke, and they didn't seem to have a good relationship. Now the two of them are bidding, but the stall owner is caught in the middle.
Opening the door to do business is about a group of harmony, and no one can be offended, but in this situation, whoever the stall owner agrees to offend the other party is to offend the other party, and there will be trouble. So the stall owner looked at the two of them blankly, but there was nothing he could do.
"How?"
Sun Sheng glanced at Wang Di coldly, and said with a sneer: "Fifty thousand yuan." ”
"Yo he, do you have to fight with me?"
Wang Di smiled and continued to increase: "Sixty thousand yuan." I'm going to play with you today. ”
60,000 yuan, this price is already twice the price quoted by Bai Peng.
Sun Sheng stared at Wang Di coldly for a while, glanced at Bai Peng out of the corner of his eye, and saw Bai Peng nodding slightly to himself, he suddenly had a score in his heart: "Seventy thousand yuan." If you want to play with me, then let's have fun. ”
Bai Peng is also an antique dealer, and it is the nature of a businessman to pursue profits, so the price he quoted for 30,000 yuan is a price that can be resold for a profit. However, for this bronze incense burner, its value is far less than this, and 30,000 yuan is just the easiest price to sell and profit.
So even if Sun Sheng raised the price to 70,000 yuan, Bai Peng did not stop it. If you buy this bronze incense burner at this price, not to mention whether you make money or not, you won't lose this price anyway. However, Sun Sheng didn't care about the thirty or forty thousand yuan, and Bai Peng would go to him.
"I ......"
"Since Sun Shao wants this incense burner so much, then this incense burner will belong to you. ”
Wang Di was about to continue the confrontation with Sun Sheng, but Zheng Zheng interrupted Wang Di before he could speak. He nodded apologetically to the stall owner and said, "We're fighting over here, but it's embarrassing for you." Since Sun Shao wants it, then ask Sun Shao to buy it. ”
"Cowardly?" Sun Sheng didn't expect Zheng Zheng to come with such a hand, and after a moment of stunnedness, Sun Sheng asked with a sneer.
Zheng Zheng smiled good-naturedly and replied indifferently: "It has nothing to do with whether it is cowardly or not, it is just the beauty of a gentleman's adulthood." After speaking, he turned to Wang Di and said, "I seem to have seen a nice thing in that stall just now, I wonder if Di Shao is interested? Let's go over and have a look, how about it?"
"No problem. ”
Wang Di also knew that Zheng Zheng was not the kind of reckless person, so although he was a little embarrassed to be interrupted by Zheng Zheng, Wang Di also knew that Zheng Zheng must have his reasons for doing this, so Wang Di didn't have any pimples in his heart. Now seeing that Zheng Zheng proposed to go to another stall, Wang Di also agreed to Zheng Zheng's words.
"You two are busy here, come to us in a moment. ”
Zheng Zheng said hello to Sun Sheng and Bai Peng, then left the stall with Wang Di and walked towards another stall not far away.
"This ...... You see?"
When the stall owner saw Zheng Zheng and the others leaving, he breathed a sigh of relief, and now he finally had a lot less trouble. He saw that Sun Sheng's face was not very good, so he laughed and said, "This bronze incense burner...... Hey hey ......"
Sun Sheng didn't answer, his eyes kept staring at the back of Zheng Zheng who was going away, and the stall owner was also interested, so he didn't bother him by chattering on the side.
After a while, Sun Sheng retracted his gaze and asked Bai Peng beside him, "This kid gave up so quickly...... Bai Peng, can you see it, this bronze incense burner can't be fake, right?"
Bai Peng didn't dare to be careless about this question, he said in a deep voice: "No, I have seen this bronze incense burner, even if it is not from the Ming Dynasty, but at least it is something from the middle of the Qing Dynasty, it is a genuine antiquity, and this will never go wrong." ”
After a pause, Bai Peng frowned slightly and said, "As for why he asked Wang Di to give up this bronze incense burner...... I think he felt that if he continued to increase the price, he would exceed the price of the incense burner, so he didn't dare to take the risk. I can't really think of any other reason than that. ”
"Is it just because of this...... Sun Sheng shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Why do I think he is partnering with Wang Di to test us, and has already seen through your 'thimble' plan?"
"This ......"
Bai Peng groaned for a moment and said, "Even if he sees it, it's fine, as long as we are stuck in the bid and force them to make their bid exceed the price of the thing itself, there will be no problem." He can let one thing, he can also let two things, but he can't keep going, right? Otherwise, this trip to the black market, that Di Shao will not make any gains, and you will buy a lot of genuine antiques at a fairly reasonable price. ”
"Makes sense. ”
Sun Sheng nodded, looked at the bronze incense burner, shook his head a little unhappily, took out a checkbook from his arms, and wrote a check: "Although I have no interest in this bronze incense burner, since I said it, I have to buy it, so as not to be caught by this kid in the future...... Here you go, 70,000 yuan. ”
As he spoke, Sun Sheng handed the check in his hand to the stall owner.
……
"You don't know, I really like the bronze incense burner, let alone 70,000, even if the price is higher, I can accept it, Di Shao is not bad for money. ”
Although Wang Di knew that Zheng Zheng had his intentions in doing things, he had no choice but to give up something that he had finally looked at, which still made Wang Di a little complaining. He patted Zheng Zheng, who was flipping through old books in front of the stall next to him, and puzzled: "Tell me, why don't you want me to buy that bronze incense burner?"
"As for the incense burner, it's about 70,000 yuan. It's no problem to buy the incense burner back and put it home at this price, and you won't feel that you have been cheated when you introduce others to people who know how to do it, although it is a bit difficult to buy it back at this price, but I also know that Di Shao is not bad for those two dollars. ”
Zheng Zheng was flipping through a book that is said to be an engraved copy of the Qing Dynasty "Golden Vase Plum" with relish, while flipping through the book with a sigh, Zheng Zheng replied to Wang Di: "But 70,000 yuan is almost the top price, and if the price is higher, it will be a loss, even if it is placed at home, you will lose face when you talk to others in the future."
What's more, isn't that Sun Sheng in the same circle as you? If he adds fuel to this matter, then it will not be a matter of money or not, but a matter of Di Shao, you will be in the antique market and buy back a thing at a high price. ”
"You must know that in the antique shop, there is no such thing as a high or low price, only whether the price is appropriate. If something worth 100,000 yuan is worth 50,000 yuan, even if the stall owner offers 50,000 yuan, and then you raise the price yourself, it can be said that you don't want to be greedy for this small bargain, but it seems that you have a vision and generosity at the same time, and you don't care about the amount of money; ”
"So, ah......"
Zheng Zheng put down the book of "Golden Vase Plum", opened a Spring Palace painting album, and said with a smile: "If he wants it, we will give it to him, and if he gives this thing, he will give it away." This time we will find out what he is thinking, and it will be better to deal with him in the future. ”
"What do you want to do with him?"
Wang Di was also attracted by the Spring Palace painting album in Zheng Zheng's hand, and he leaned next to Zheng Zheng and looked at the album with his eyebrows fluttering, and asked.
Zheng Zheng shook his head indifferently and said: "This is just a matter of testing the bidding, pricing and vision of both parties, and in the end, it will fall to me and Bai Peng to solve this matter." Well...... It's not a special bother, don't worry. ”
"Okay, anyway, I'll leave these things to you, and I'll be the one who shakes off my hands. When Wang Di heard Zheng Zheng say this, he put his mind at ease and was ready to continue to be his own shopkeeper.
Zheng Zheng frowned and said, "Then this is what you think wrong, I really need your help in this matter, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sing this drama myself." ”
"What's the matter?" Wang Di looked at Zheng Zheng's expression and said with some hesitation: "How can I have an ominous premonition?"
"Hey, hey, hey, hey......"
Zheng Zheng laughed dryly for a while and said, "Actually, it's nothing, as long as you express a lot of interest in many things, that's it......"
