Chapter 234: Judging People by Their Appearance
"Hey!"
The young man sneered at Song Peng, then stopped paying attention to him, and then said to the old man: "Are you leaving? β
This situation made a trace of hesitation flash in the old man's eyes, and then he looked at the jade in his hand again, his expression immediately became firm again, and he said to the young man: "Okay, let's go." β
Before leaving, he smiled a little embarrassedly at Song Peng.
Seeing the old man leave with the young man, Song Peng was very annoyed and said, "I'm really angry, why doesn't this old man have a brain?"
Wei Changyu smiled: "Maybe if you didn't say it just now, he won't be fooled?"
Song Peng said: "What does it have to do with me, I think it's his own greed, and he doesn't want to think about it, if it's really a good thing, then it's not good to choose another place to trade, so you have to be in this bad place?"
Wei Changyu smiled and said, "This is also the case." β
Song Peng said: "So, this kind of person deserves to be deceived." β
At this time, Meng Zitao spoke: "Actually, I don't think there is a problem with that jade. β
Meng Zitao's words made Song Peng and Wei Changyu stunned, and Song Peng said a little incredulously: "Shopkeeper Meng, don't you think that this is not a scam?"
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "First of all, we haven't looked at that jade carefully, so we can't think that he is deceiving people just because that person looks a little stumbling, right?
Of course, the main reason is that he used his ability just now and found that the jade was indeed genuine, and the material was not bad. Because of this, he didn't get involved in this matter just now, otherwise with his character, he would have said a word or two to remind the old man.
Meng Zitao's words made Song Peng and Wei Changyu unable to refute, after all, they hadn't looked at anything carefully. Their judgment is indeed based on their appearance.
Song Peng shook his head and smiled: "Although some people are judged by their appearance, I still trust my own judgment, that guy is a liar nine out of nine." β
Wei Changyu smiled: "It doesn't matter if he is a liar or not, this matter has nothing to do with us." β
Song Peng smiled: "This is reasonable. It's better to sweep the snow in front of the door these years, otherwise if you don't help, you won't say it, and if you are regarded as a conspiracy, it will be a big injustice. β
Talking and laughing, the group arrived at the destination of this trip. An antique shop with a relatively ordinary faΓ§ade.
Following everyone into the store, Meng Zitao first looked around and found that there were not many things on display in the store, adding up to about 20 pieces, but they all looked genuine, which is rare in the antique market.
At this time, there were several customers in the store, some holding antiques and concentrating on them, some arguing with friends, and one whispering softly to the shopkeeper.
Seeing Meng Zitao and them coming in, except for the guest who was appreciating the antiques, everyone else raised their heads and looked at them.
The middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper hurriedly stood up and walked over. smiled and said hello: "Boss Song, Boss Wei, what kind of wind is blowing you here?"
Song Peng said with a smile: "Didn't I hear that your shopkeeper Liang is gone, and we are happy together." β
"What a good fortune, it's just that the blind cat ran into a dead mouse. Liang Qiqi laughed, invited everyone to sit in the reception room, and asked the guy to pour tea for everyone.
After settling everyone, Liang Qiqi said with a smile: "Please wait a while, I'll go outside and deal with it." β
Everyone laughed and said it didn't matter.
Everyone drank tea for a while, and Liang Qiqi walked in with a smile on his face.
A few polite words. Liang Qiqi smiled and said, "Everyone must know my rules, if it's no problem, let's go?"
Meng Zitao shook his head: "I really don't know this. β
Liang Qiqi was slightly stunned, he originally thought that Meng Zitao was Song Peng's follower. Now it seems that it is not, and hurriedly asked, "Who is this little brother?"
Wei Changyu introduced Liang Qiqi, but he did not mention that Meng Zitao was Zheng Anzhi's apprentice.
This is also what Meng Zitao specially explained, although the value of Zheng Anzhi's closed disciple can bring him some convenience, but sometimes. It also made him lose the opportunity to pick up the leak. Therefore, he does not want to move out of this identity if it is not necessary.
Although it was, such a young antique shop owner still made Liang Qiqi a little surprised, but he didn't show it, and after a small compliment, he explained his rules.
His rules here are also simple, the antiques outside can be picked at will, as for the more precious antiques in his hands, each person can only buy two pieces in a month.
"Shopkeeper Meng, do you have any problems here?"
Seeing that Meng Zitao said that there was no problem, Liang Qiqi said: "Then let's go." β
Liang Qiqi took everyone upstairs, opened a heavy security door with a key, and turned on the electric light in the house, inviting everyone to enter.
Liang Qiqi said with a smile: "You take your time, and call me when you choose." β
Everyone nodded, and after seeing Liang Qiqi leave, Meng Zitao looked around and found that there were several Bogu shelves and counters in the room, and there were many exquisite antiques on them.
In addition, there are also a lot of cameras installed in the room, and the situation in the room can be described as unobstructed, so it is no wonder that Liang Qiqi dared to leave like this.
Song Peng looked around and said with a smile: "It seems that Lao Liang is really lucky, the last time I came, there was less than a quarter of the collection here, and now there are actually three-quarters." β
Wei Changyu said with a smile: "As far as his price is concerned, there will definitely be more and more." β
As he spoke, he pointed to the signs in front of each antique: "Shopkeeper Meng, when you choose, it's best to look at the prices on these brands first." β
Meng Zitao was surprised: "Could it be that how much he bid, and what is the final transaction price?"
Wei Changyu said: "It's not here, it's just that it doesn't come and go." β
Meng Zitao looked at the price mark on the counter next to him, and he was a little staggered: "This price is really unpleasant." β
On the counter is a Song Dynasty Yaozhou kiln carved vase, although Meng Zitao did not look closely, but with his experience, it can also be concluded that the market value of this porcelain is about 50,000 yuan at most, but the price here is 80,000 yuan, which is simply to take the auction price as a reference.
Song Peng smiled: "The price is indeed a bit expensive, but as I said before, at least the things here are genuine, which is acceptable for people like us who don't have good eyesight." β
"We're not like you're a tyrant. β
Wei Changyu smiled, and then said: "But if you want to say that everything here is genuine, then it is not likely, right?"
Song Peng said: "There are indeed fakes, but that is also an accidental factor, and Lao Liang has not also made rules, buy things back, and find that there is a problem, as long as there is an authoritative proof, he can return the goods and compensate for the loss." And, if any of the fakes are found here, you can be rewarded with a tenth of the list price of the thing. β
Meng Zitao was a little surprised and said, "I found that there is still a reward?"
Wei Changyu nodded and said: "That's right, in July last year, someone found a fake here, and he did lose money." β
Song Peng said with a smile: "So, it makes sense that things are expensive and expensive, and Lao Liang treats old customers with certain discounts, which is actually similar to going to the auction to buy things." β
Meng Zitao nodded, this is also a sales concept, however, for him, this method is not suitable, rather than pressing the money in his hands, it is better to use money to make money.
Song Peng continued: "Let's go, let's not waste time, by the way, we can explain in advance, whoever sees the thing first is who's, don't raise the price." β
Wei Changyu said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone knows the rules, besides, Lao Liang's things are so expensive, it is estimated that there is a problem with the brain." β
Everyone smiled, and then they divided into three ways and began to choose what they liked.
Just like Song Peng said, the things here are really good, and they are all genuine, but the price is too expensive, although Meng Zitao also likes a few things, but he really can't get his hands on them.
Because of this, after watching it all the way, Mencius Taoquan should have increased his experience.
Meng Zitao was looking at an inkstone, and he heard Song Peng exclaim not far away: "Hey, Lao Liang is amazing, he actually got a Xuande blue and white waist bowl." β
The folding waist bowl is the first creation of the Xuande Dynasty, also known as the bowl, the vessel is a skimming, straight wall, folded abdomen, the lower abdomen often has two convex string patterns for decoration, with a circular cover, the lid and the bowl heart have blue and white inscriptions, the font has regular script, seal book two kinds.
Meng Zitao looked around, and unexpectedly found that this waist bowl actually has a lid, you must know that the existing Xuande waist bowl is currently seen in public and private collections of less than 30 cases, and most of them lost the bowl lid, if this bowl is genuine, it is precious.
So, Meng Zitao and Wei Changyu on the other side walked over, wanting to see the style of this folded waist bowl.
Walking to Song Peng, to Mencius Tao was a little surprised, the decoration of this bowl was actually a blue and white entwined branch crocus pattern, he remembered that so far, it seems that only the Treasure Island Forbidden City has an old collection of the Qing Palace, but he didn't expect to see another case here.
Although Song Peng knew the preciousness of Xuande's waist bowl, he didn't know much about the specific preciousness, so he didn't look at it for long before he put the thing back on the table.
Wei Changyu asked Meng Zitao to appreciate it first, and Meng Zitao was polite and took the bowl in his hand.
I saw that its outer wall is painted with ten crocus flowers, the lotus flower is in full bloom, the bottom edge of the turning place is decorated with a deformation of the lotus petal pattern for a week, and there are two convex string patterns to separate the upper and lower ornaments, so that the transition between the ornaments is natural and coordinated, and the overall decorative style tends to be more sparse and elegant.
On the whole, the glaze of this bowl is condensed and blue, the fetal bones are firm and thin, the brushstrokes are delicate, and the style and bones are beautiful, and there is no problem with it.
Meng Zitao was also very impressed in his heart at first, but he accidentally noticed a detail that made him think about it...... (To be continued.) )
