Chapter Seventy-Three: Chen Luoping
Hedong South Bridge West Road.
A famous antique street in Changling City, many tourists and cultural relics and antique lovers like to come and shop when they are idle and bored.
After all, the things here are also uneven, although there are very few leaks, and most of them are fake and shoddy.
But because of this, the price is basically not particularly high.
Even ordinary people from petty bourgeois families have enough funds to come here to buy some exquisite and small antiques.
Chen Luoping happened to buy a house in the neighborhood a few years ago, and then settled down, and slowly fell in love with coming to visit the antique street.
Those so-called "experts" blow the textures, materials, and shapes to the sky, as if they will miss hundreds of millions of stones if they don't buy them.
There is also a certain general's favorite, authentic official kiln at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Qing Dynasty and Republic of China porcelain.
These are the most classic and common products that fool Xiaobai.
Basically, they are all paid "IQ tax".
Chen Luoping played casually from the beginning, and later found out that he was deceived one after another, and began to learn relevant knowledge by himself, as well as watching various professional TV programs and picking up treasures and treasure columns.
And in the antique forum gathering place on the Internet, I learned a lot.
In the past five years, it can be said that he has changed from a novice to a veteran in the eyes of laymen.
Of course, the industry is deep.
Not to mention five years, even if it is fifteen or twenty-five years, there are still many things that I don't understand.
The situation of being fooled by people will exist at any time.
But as his ability and eyesight have risen step by step, his ability to appreciate antique collections has improved, and he naturally has confidence, and he has really picked up a few leaks in the past three years and two years.
In this way, the "IQ tax" paid in previous years was earned, and some travel money was also earned.
Chen Luoping's footsteps were hurried.
This time, he fell in love with a small jade tripod called "Qiushui Pavilion"!
As the saying goes, the prosperous dynasty will help each other!
This "tripod" is supposed to be endowed with various prominent and noble meanings, is a symbol of the country, and even a key weapon for the establishment of the country.
Of course, the value content of the "tripod" in different periods is also different, and it is necessary to trace the origin according to many details and textures, including the shape and size, and analyze the meaning, value and authenticity of the age.
Only then can we really determine whether the cultural relics are worth or not, and how much they are worth.
For this reason, he has gone back and forth five or six times, observing before and after, and going back to inquire about various information to confirm whether the jade tripod in his photo is genuine, and whether it is worth selling himself.
But after all, this thing is expensive, so he seems extremely cautious.
Finally, about ten minutes later, Chen Luoping came to the "Qiushui Pavilion", and when he entered the door, he heard the laughter of the boss.
"Oh, Mr. Chen, it's here again!"
It's been four or five visits, and of course the two sides are familiar with each other.
The boss smiled politely: "You look at it from now on, I have also introduced everything that should be introduced, and you have run so many times, I think I will take it today!"
"It's not me blowing it to you, there was also a guest who fell in love with this thing two days ago. ”
"I think people are also more researched, which means that your vision is still fine, and the guest also made an appointment to bring someone over to help appreciate and appreciate it in the past two days. ”
"If you like this, if you come back next time, maybe Yuding will be bought. ”
Chen Luoping smiled but didn't speak, he knew that what the boss said was the most unbelievable, and he just hoped that he would buy it decisively.
The key is that he has gone back and forth so many times, and he still can't judge the authenticity of Yuding.
"Thirty thousand!"
Chen Luoping smiled and said, "I'll take 30,000 yuan home!"
The boss was looking down on WeChat, then looked up and said with a smile: "Boss Chen, 30,000 can be sold, I sold it to you a long time ago." ”
"I'm not afraid to tell the truth, you've been here so many times, you must like it too!"
The boss stepped forward very seriously and quipped: "When I took it back, this is also the number!"
With that, he held up four fingers!
Then he suddenly shook his head and smiled: "Besides, you have to let me make some money, right!"
"I'm not short of money, it's impossible to sell it at a low price, and the more you come, the more I think this thing is worth it. ”
"Maybe I'll go back and collect it myself, and I won't sell it!"
Chen Luoping also sighed, to be honest, he really likes and thinks this jade tripod is particularly valuable.
But after all, I didn't buy it back, and I didn't dare to tell anyone else.
As the boss said, if you can really conclude that it is genuine and extremely valuable, the other party will not sell it.
So come and go, it depends on whose vision is good.
Unless you think that your vision is better than that of other people's bosses, you can see things that the other person can't see, and confirm that the collection exceeds the current selling price, then you can make a decisive move.
Of course, this is a very unlikely thing, after all, the owner of the collection store depends on this thing to eat.
Knowledgeable and more professional.
Chen Luoping also felt that it was of little significance to continue like this, he had been studying the information about Yuding for the past two months, and if he had a relatively large grasp of the judgment of the collection in front of him.
He said decisively: "Thirty-eight thousand, don't ink anymore, just sell it at a fixed price!"
……
Say it's too late, then it's too fast.
Suddenly two people walked into the store, one old and one young, the younger one was probably in his early thirties, and the older one was in his fifties and sixties.
The two of them entered the door and came directly to this jade ding.
"Third uncle, you see this Ding, I've seen it a few times, and I think I can make a move!"
The elder known as the third uncle took out a magnifying glass very professionally and seriously, put on gloves, and studied this jade tripod very professionally.
Only then did the shopkeeper open his mouth and smile: "No, I just mentioned it." ”
"They are the ones I told you, and they also fancy the guests of this Jade Ding. ”
Chen Luoping was a little curious beside him, wanting to see what the other party could say.
I saw that the third uncle became more and more serious the more he looked at it, his expression became more and more serious, and then he went from nervous to slowly relieved, and finally smiled very dryly: "Buy!"
The other party has no other description and judgment, and it seems that he does not want others to know where this jade tripod is worth.
The young man smiled decisively: "Okay, boss, I want this jade ding, according to the price we said last time, forty-eight thousand!"
"No problem!" the boss was even more amused, very happy.
Chen Luoping immediately panicked.
I watched the jade tripod for several months, but it was robbed by others all of a sudden.
He actually came here this time to buy it, so he had a meeting just now and started to bargain, but unexpectedly, he killed a Cheng bite gold halfway.
He shouted anxiously: "Hey, I took a fancy to it first, so let's sell it to me, forty-eight thousand!"
The young man next to him said with a smile: "Brother, you're boring, I'm already going to buy it, and the boss of the other family has agreed, what are you mixing at this time." ”
Chen Luoping gritted his teeth and said: "Fifty thousand, I have two thousand, I have been watching it for three months!"
The boss suddenly showed a smile in his eyes, and then said: "That's okay, the one with the highest price wins, it's also the rule." ”
The young man glanced at his third uncle, and immediately quoted after getting permission: "I'll add five thousand more, I'm going to decide this jade tripod!"
The third uncle also deliberately explained something in the young man's ear, and then both of them showed an excited smile, looking full of confidence when they looked like they wanted to win this jade tripod.
The more this is the case, the more you will be able to prove that your judgment is correct.
Chen Luoping really regretted it, he knew that he bought it directly in advance just now, and if he let it go now, then his three months of hard work would be wasted.
Seeing that Yuding was snatched away by others, he was really reluctant.
"Fifty-five thousand!" Chen Luoping relentlessly and directly quoted a higher price.
However, what he never expected was that the other party replied with a smile without hesitation: "Sixty thousand!"
The young man also deliberately stepped forward and patted Chen Luoping's shoulder with a smile, and then said, "Dude, in this way, it's not interesting for us to fight like this, I'll give you an extra three thousand yuan, okay?"
"Don't mix with this jade tripod, you see you increase the price, I increase the price, and neither of us can escape anywhere when we turn around. ”
Seeing this, the boss smiled: "That's it, I have a way, I'll get you a piece of paper, and you can write a price yourself." ”
"Whoever pays the highest price will be whomever pays it, and there is no need to increase the price. ”
"Fair, isn't it?"
"It's just a chance, anyway!"
The two of them don't seem to have any other way, after all, Chen Luoping and this time are the sixth time.
Six visits are enough to show how much he longs for this jade tripod.
"Okay, let's do it!"
Then the boss found two pieces of paper and asked them to write down the expected price by themselves.
The boss was very satisfied, and seemed to be able to finally sell the jade ding.
Chen Luoping inhaled heavily, calmed down his inner emotions, and looked at the jade tripod very seriously, his psychological expectation was actually to win it within 50,000 yuan.
At the beginning, the price was more than 30,000 yuan, but I was thinking about slowly bargaining the price, and finally more than 40,000 yuan was able to trade.
Now it's troublesome, and there is only one chance to make an offer.
The bid is too high, and I can't accept it.
"Just put it like this, after all, it's not nine out of ten, it's pointless if it's too high. ”
"Even if this price is blind, we can accept it!"
The two discussed it and gave a price.
Chen Luoping secretly pondered that he had already quoted 60,000 yuan just now, and the highest price he could accept was 80,000 yuan, to be precise, he only had this pocket money.
To be honest, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, he bought a fake for forty or fifty thousand, and he could still accept it.
If it's 80,000 yuan, it's a bit of a big blow.
At this moment, he hesitated in his heart, but finally resolutely wrote his price in.
In his opinion, this is probably fate, and he can't afford it at a high price.
Finally, the price note was written on both sides, and the boss smiled very fairly: "But before that, I have to say yes in advance!"
"If you raise the price later, you won't have a chance, you can think about it!"
"Are you sure you don't want to change it?"
At this moment, the young man was a little worried and wanted to revise it, but was stopped by the elders.
In the end, the boss first opened Chen Luoping's paper, and it was the highest price he could afford "80,000 yuan", and when he saw this price, the young man over there grabbed the paper anxiously: "Hey, I'll change it!"
Chen Luoping suddenly took his hand and shouted, "What are you doing!"
Finally, the young man's paper was unfolded, and it was written seventy-four thousand.
When I saw this offer, I saw that the young man couldn't help but complain and scolded: "No, what are you pulling me for, third uncle?"
"I'm going to increase the price!"
"It's just a few thousand yuan! Boss, I'll give 90,000 yuan, I'll give the money now!"
Hearing this, Chen Luoping immediately panicked, and he immediately retorted: "No, why don't you follow the rules!"
After all, he is only 80,000 yuan, and he really has no money to increase the price, and his daughter-in-law will have to scold him at that time.
The boss also sighed and said: "Let's open the door to do business, we also have to pay attention to integrity, Mr. Luo, you will pay for it here, and I will give it to you!"
Chen Luoping breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Thank you!"
The boss also joked: "If you don't buy it earlier, you see, this has to pay 20,000 yuan!"
So the old man and the young complained to each other, and went out of the house.
I can also vaguely hear that the young man has been babbling and complaining that the elders don't let him increase the price, and a good jade tripod is just handed over to others, maybe it will make more than ten or two hundred thousand yuan.
A few minutes later.
No one noticed at all that the store owner's mobile phone screen lit up slightly at this moment.
A WeChat sentence popped up: "Boss, the acting is okay, right?
The shopkeeper took a puff of cigarette and replied with two words: "No problem, happy cooperation!"
