Chapter 534: Worth Nothing
As soon as the voice of the person at the door fell, he saw Zhang Siyuan sitting in the courtyard, walked straight to Zhang Siyuan, and asked respectfully, "Mr. Zhang, I'm not late, right?"
"It's not too late, it's not too late, it's hard to be the shopkeeper of Wu. Zhang Siyuan replied with a smile.
The person who came was none other than the shopkeeper Wu who successfully ascended to the position after making a mistake yesterday. After Zhang Siyuan went back in the evening, he contacted Hu Longfei and asked Hu Longfei to help him find someone to come to Old Man Bai to see the two old objects and help him refer to the value. Hu Longfei agreed to come down and said that he would let Shopkeeper Wu come over to help.
Zhang Siyuan did not refuse, after all, Shopkeeper Wu has been mixed in Guyizhai for so many years. Although he is not a great figure in this industry, he is not comparable to ordinary people. As Zhang Siyuan said, he is a businessman, although he wants to help the Bai family, but he is not a free help.
At most, it is a little more than the original price, after all, Zhang Siyuan is not a philanthropist. His money is also earned by himself, not by the wind. If it is really valuable, then Zhang Siyuan will not treat them badly. If it's not good, Zhang Siyuan is also ready to buy it with some money, which can be regarded as a favor.
After the old man Bai saw that the shopkeeper Wu was coming, he knew that he was appraising the two objects for Zhang Siyuan, so he walked into the house without saying anything, and then walked out with two old objects in his hand.
After walking into the courtyard, Old Man Bai put the two old objects in his hand on the stone table, and said to Zhang Siyuan: "Hey, these are these two things." Let this gentleman estimate the price, as long as the price is right, these two items are yours from Mr. Zhang. ”
After the old man finished speaking, the shopkeeper Wu took out a magnifying glass from his bag, took one of the objects in his hand and began to observe. Of course, Zhang Siyuan and others don't understand these things, and they have no interest in knowing. He laughed on the side, waiting for Shopkeeper Wu to see the results.
Shopkeeper Wu watched from the side, and Old Man Bai also asked Zhang Siyuan: "Mr. Zhang, you and Xiao Zhengzi shouldn't be friends, right?"
"The old man can see it, Brother Zheng is helping me now. After chatting that day, we learned that the old man you have this skill, so we asked Brother Zheng to take us to take a look. Zhang Siyuan did not deny it, after all, with the age of Old Man Bai, he must have found something to say it, otherwise he would not have said so.
Old Man Bai didn't get angry when he heard Zhang Siyuan's admission, nodded and said, "I look at it, this Mr. Li is not an ordinary child." As Xiao Zhengzi, he has no contact with this kind of person. It's just that you stayed for a short time last time, and I didn't say anything. This time, we got acquainted with each other, and I was embarrassed to say some things. Xiao Zhengzi has been loyal and honest since he was a child, and he has no heart. So his father has never been very reluctant for him to go out, for fear that he will suffer a big loss if he is outside. I see that Mr. Zhang is a person who does great things, and I hope that Mr. Zhang can take more care of Xiao Zhengzi in the future. ”
Zheng Yi, who was sitting on the side, heard Old Man Bai's words and said with some emotion: "Uncle Bai, I ...... it."
Zhang Siyuan directly agreed: "Old man, don't worry." Brother Zheng follows me, I won't let him suffer. ”
Old Man Bai nodded with satisfaction: "That's good, then my old friend can also relax a little." The day before yesterday, he was full of worries when he said to me that Xiao Zhengzi was going to Shanghai to make a living, but I think there will definitely be no problem with Mr. Zhang in Xiao Zhengzi. ”
When a few people were chatting, Shopkeeper Wu had already taken care of the two old objects. But the expression is a little strange, and I don't know what the problem is.
Old Man Bai naturally noticed Shopkeeper Wu's expression, and asked Shopkeeper Wu a little nervously, "This gentleman, I don't know how these two gadgets are?"
Shopkeeper Wu glanced at Zhang Siyuan, but Zhang Siyuan said directly: "Shopkeeper Wu, if you have anything to say, just say it, there is no need to hide it." Old man Bai and I are old friends, if it weren't for something at home, he wouldn't have taken these things out to sell. ”
Shopkeeper Wu didn't hesitate anymore when he heard this, but said: "Of these two old objects, one is quite valuable, and the other is an ordinary gadget." ”
"What do you say?" asked Zhang Siyuan.
Shopkeeper Wu pointed to the jade pendant in the two small objects and said: "This jade pendant is quite valuable, although it is not worth wearing by anyone, but I seem to have some impression of seeing it in a book." As for this thing, it's worthless. ”
The worthless little object in the mouth of the shopkeeper Wu is a dagger. Zhang Siyuan didn't study this, and he didn't know whether it was really worthless or fake, so he asked Shopkeeper Wu: "Then according to Shopkeeper Wu, how much are these two things worth?"
The implication is that the dagger is worthless, and he wants it, and the shopkeeper Wu said after thinking about it: "Because I haven't remembered the specific origin of this jade pendant, there is definitely no specific price, and there is only an approximate price that can be said." If I had to go back and find out the specific source, I might be able to give a specific price. I'm sure you also know that antiques are very valuable to those who like them, and to those who don't like them, they are just old things. So the price I can estimate can't really be that accurate. And even if the specific source is found, the acquisition and the auction are two different things......"
Before the shopkeeper Wu finished speaking, he was stopped by the old man Bai: "This gentleman, you can just say how much you estimate, right? As long as the price is about the same as my psychological price, then I will sell it." As for how much money you can exchange for this jade pendant in the future, it has nothing to do with me. After all, I don't have a way to sell these things, so I don't want to have them. ”
When the shopkeeper Wu heard Old Man Bai's words, he pondered for a long time, and then said: "If it is according to my estimate, it should be no problem for this jade pendant to be auctioned for more than 100,000 yuan after finding out the source." As for this dagger, it is said that the value is too far from the jade pendant, and it is only a little more expensive than those ordinary gadgets if you don't know it. ”
"Can you be more specific?" Old Man Bai asked excitedly after hearing that Shopkeeper Wu said it was worth more than 100,000 yuan.
More than 100,000 yuan, which is enough for Bai Susu's father to stay in the hospital for many years. As for Bai Susu's mother, although she was paralyzed in bed, she was almost fine and was about to be discharged from the hospital. At that time, it won't cost much, and the cost of Bai Susu's father's hospitalization will be a little bigger.
Shopkeeper Wu looked at Zhang Siyuan again, but after seeing Zhang Siyuan's expression, he thought of what Zhang Siyuan said at the beginning, and after weighing it again in his heart, he said, "150,000." ”
After Zhang Siyuan heard the price of Shopkeeper Wu, he said to Old Man Bai: "That Old Man Bai, I will buy these two things for 200,000 yuan." After all, Shopkeeper Wu has already made it clear that it will definitely be more valuable to sell it at auction when the source is found out. I don't want to take too much advantage of you, I think the price of 200,000 is just right. Don't refuse, after all, your son is in a hurry to use the money, and your daughter-in-law will not be able to work when she comes back in the future, so you can't let Bai Susu bear all the burdens alone. With this money, at least the burden on your shoulders will be much lighter. ”
In fact, Zhang Siyuan added the 50,000 yuan, mainly because he was afraid that the shopkeeper Wu would make a ghost in it. Zhang Siyuan knows that these people who collect antiques have a very dark heart. They can talk about priceless treasures like rags, and make you thank Dade for selling them to them. Especially for those who don't know how to do it, they are not soft at all.
However, this is also the way of survival, and Zhang Siyuan naturally does not feel that there is any problem. It's just that Zhang Siyuan doesn't want to take advantage of the Bai family, which will make him feel guilty. After all, for him, 100,200,000 can be said to be not much of a difference. It's just that for the Bai family, this is a big difference.
After Zhang Siyuan finished speaking, he looked at Old Man Bai, Zheng Yi originally wanted to speak, but was stopped by Old Man Bai with a look. Old Man Bai looked at Zhang Siyuan and said, "It's still the same sentence, I will accept Mr. Zhang's kindness." I accepted the 200,000 yuan, and if Mr. Zhang has someone I can help in the future, I will definitely help wholeheartedly. ”
Seeing that Old Man Bai agreed, Zhang Siyuan took out his bank card from his pocket and handed it to Zheng Yi: "Brother Zheng, you are familiar with this area, you go and get 200,000 yuan first and give it to the old man, we will wait for you here." ”
Zhang Siyuan knows that many old people don't save money in the bank at all, and things like bank transfers are even more unfamiliar to them. Only cash can make them feel safe, so they asked Zheng Yi to fetch the money.
Zheng Yi took Zhang Siyuan's bank card and walked outside, and Zheng Yi was satisfied that Old Man Bai could reach this deal with Zhang Siyuan. He also knew that if it was sent to an antique shop normally, the store would definitely not be able to produce this kind of price. Zhang Siyuan can be said to be very conscientious, otherwise he would have bought it directly according to the 150,000 yuan that the shopkeeper Wu said, and I believe that the old man would not have any objections.
Seeing that Zhang Siyuan had reached a deal, Shopkeeper Wu also said to Zhang Siyuan: "Mr. Zhang, since there is no longer my business, then I will leave first." The store is busy, but it's still close to me, so I'll take the time to come over. ”
Zhang Siyuan knew that Shopkeeper Wu had just taken the position, and he had to go back to sort out the affairs of Guyizhai at this time, and he did not keep Shopkeeper Wu, but said: "Then I will trouble Shopkeeper Wu today, and when you are free one day, I will invite you to dinner." ”
"Mr. Zhang is polite, then I'll leave first, goodbye everyone. After the shopkeeper Wu packed up his things, he walked out of the Bai family's courtyard.
At this time, there were only three people left in the courtyard: Zhang Siyuan, Li Han and Old Man Bai. Zhang Siyuan suddenly opened his mouth and said to Old Man Bai: "Old man, this matter has been discussed, so let's talk about the next thing." ”
