Chapter 41 Getting What You Want
Wang Pengcheng's on-site inspection is to try the depth of Tang Feng, Jiang Yuan has repeatedly suffered losses in Tang Feng's hands, and of course he will be vigilant after learning that Tang Feng intends to do the printing stone business, but it is inconvenient for him to come forward in person, only fake hands, otherwise Wang Pengcheng will not be able to fight with Tang Feng for a piece of ordinary bloodstone.
If the small piece of broken stone in Tang Feng's hand is vertically related to the half-ton Chang fossil and the suspected big red robe inside, then this strip of blood is horizontally related to the half-ton Chang fossil, because it came out next to the Chang fossil. Tang Feng was interested in this stone not because he recognized that the stone must have blood, but just wanted to find circumstantial evidence of the quality of the Chang fossil. He didn't expect that Wang Pengcheng would spend a lot of money just to show him the results, but there was still a dilemma in front of Tang Feng, if this stone rose sharply, Wang Pengcheng would mistakenly think that Tang Feng had special abilities in this regard, and it would be difficult for Tang Feng to want that Chang fossil again. If this stone is broken, it is unlikely that Wang Pengcheng will go to Tang Feng to grab that Chang fossil, but the possibility of blood in that Chang fossil will be greatly reduced.
The development of the situation was not due to Tang Feng's consideration, and soon, the special jade cutting machine was carried up by the migrant workers.
"Cut!" Wang Pengcheng shouted.
"Crunch~~" The cutting machine operated by the migrant workers made an unpleasant sound, and soon, the stone was split in two.
"Come out!" everyone looked at the cutting surface togetherβ"Hey!" There was a sigh from the crowd, the two smooth cutting surfaces were gray, there was no blood at all, and 100,000 stones were a fee.
When everyone shook their heads, Wang Pengcheng still didn't give up, he said very calmly: "Cut again!" Then, this bloodstone changed from one to two, two to four, but the result was still just as disappointing, except for the blood on the surface, there was no trace of blood in this stone, and the 100,000 yuan was completely lost. There is a high chance of failure in betting on bloodstone, so the stones that can be used for overall sculpture are generally not unraveled, and making seals and small carvings is purely a last resort.
"Hey. Chen Yan shook his head teasingly and said, "Lao Wang, you are out of sight this time." β
Wang Pengcheng didn't have too much disappointment, he glanced at Tang Feng and said, "No way, gambling on bloodstone is like this." β
Mr. Xiao over there saw that the number one competitor was deflated, and he forced the joy in his heart to comfort Wang Pengcheng without smiling: "Boss Wang is also rare to be blind, it doesn't matter." β
"Haha. Wang Pengcheng's cheerful smile looked very fake, and he said: "I am willing to gamble and lose, I have nothing to say." β
A piece of bloodstone in poor condition was sold for a high price of 100,000 yuan, and Pan Decai had already smiled from ear to ear, and he said: "It's okay, everyone still recognizes Boss Wang's golden signboard." β
"Boss Pan, you don't have to make trouble, right?" Wang Pengcheng said: "It's okay, let's start again." β
Then, the second stone began to be traded, this stone was not in good condition, Xiao always did not have much interest, Tang Feng called a few rounds of price and withdrew from the competition, and a retail investor obtained this bloodstone at a relatively low price.
The third bloodstone is not very good, Tang Feng added three thousand yuan to get this stone, what made him most happy was that Wang Pengcheng did not rob him again, the lesson of 100,000 yuan was in front of him, that guy no longer thought that Tang Feng had special abilities, and Tang Feng did not have it in the first place. Not long after, only two of the thirteen stones remained, Wang Pengcheng and Xiao Zong obtained most of them, and Tang Feng also obtained one of them, he was actually not optimistic about these two stones, just to further reduce Wang Pengcheng's suspicions.
When it came to the twelfth stone, Pan De said: "Everyone, the big red robe has come out, the reserve price is 2 million, and now the price will be called." Tang Feng secretly felt helpless, in this way, the Dachang fossil was singular, and he only hoped that Wang Pengcheng could keep the "calm" just now. β
"Forget it, I won't ink the last piece anymore, 3 million!" Mr. Xiao directly ignored the Dachang fossil, the quality of the stone was indeed a little worse, some stone bosses deliberately excavated a large stone with only a little blood in order to increase the price bargaining chips, and Pan Decai did not do this kind of lack of morality.
"Add another 10,000!" It was Tang Feng who asked for the price, and this big red robe was worth this price.
Wang Pengcheng laughed and said, "Mr. Xiao is ruthless enough, I'm not as generous as you, three-five-zero!"
It makes sense for Pan Decai to price this big red robe at 2 million, and he wants more people to participate in the bidding, but the two wealthy men quickly discouraged other competitors, and Mr. Xiao said: "Add another 500,000." β
Tang Fengcai didn't want to spread all his net worth on one stone, he withdrew from the competition with interest, of course Wang Pengcheng would not give up, he shouted: "4.1 million." β
"Haha. Mr. Xiao said with a smile: "I don't dare to rob Boss Wang, I don't want it." β
Wang Pengcheng said politely: "Accept and concede, Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry, I robbed you of the double number, and the last piece was given to you." β
Mr. Xiao waved his hand and said, "I can't break the rules, you better keep it for yourself." The mutual humility of the two shows that they are not optimistic about the boulder. And the reserve price called out by Pan Decai, who has already made a lot of money, also confirms this, which is only 200,000. He said, "Bosses, don't underestimate this bloodstone, it's associated with that big red robe. β
At this moment, Tang Feng can't wait to rush up and kick his feet, no one will treat you as a dumb person if he doesn't speak, and Wang Pengcheng and Mr. Xiao won't listen to the advertisement of the quarrying boss, in his eyes, the stones in the pit are all big red robes. Pan Decai continued: "Everyone, you can bargain. β
"Guys, I'll go first. Mr. Xiao explained his judgment with practical actions, while others obviously did not have much interest, and today's transaction was cold for the first time.
Tang Feng said quietly: "This stone is still worth a gamble, I'll add a thousand." β
Wang Pengcheng set his eyes on Tang Feng again, and Tang Feng was busy paying for the two stones he was bidding for at the moment, looking like he didn't want it very much, Wang Pengcheng shrugged his shoulders and beckoned his subordinates to leave the trading point.
"Boss Tang doesn't need to add 1,000, this stone counts you 200,000. Seeing that no one should pay the price, Pan De began to put a long line to catch big fish, he smiled all over his face, and said softly to Tang Feng: "I am cheap to Boss Tang, Boss Tang don't forget to visit next time." β
Tang Feng suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and said, "Boss Pan is polite, it must be." Although the strip of blood was broken, Tang Feng still thought that this boulder was worth the gamble, and he trusted his own judgment.
Everything was done, Tang Feng and Chen Yan returned to the farmhouse hotel together, rested for the night, and the next day, Tang Feng and Liu Yue returned to Lin'an City through Changhua Town.
Lin'an City belongs to Hangzhou, is the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, there are two national nature reserves in Tianmu Mountain and Qingliang Peak, and is one of the outstanding tourist cities in China. Lin'an not only has a long history, beautiful mountains and rivers, but also has a profound cultural heritage, Xie An, Li Bai, Bai Juyi, Su Shi and other literati and writers have left poems and texts in Lin'an, so Lin'an is also known as the hometown of Chinese calligraphy and painting art.
After handling the consignment, they were about to pick up the goods, and when Tang Feng found the designated pick-up location according to the map, their stones had not yet arrived. Goods were slower than others, and Tang Feng and Chen Yan had no choice but to wait in the hotel where Liu Yue and the others lived.
In the afternoon, Tang Feng was resting in his room, there was a knock on the door outside, Tang Feng thought it was Chen Yan, he said impatiently: "Don't pretend to be polite, you kid, the door is not closed." β
"You're so fierce. It wasn't Chen Yan who came in but Liu Yue, who was still holding Tang Feng's coat in her hand.
When the girl entered the door, Tang Feng had no reason to continue lying on the bed, he stood up and said, "Yo, it's Miss Liu." β
"Thank you. Liu Yue returned the folded coat to Tang Feng and said.
Tang Feng took the coat and naturally did not forget to be polite, Liu Yue looked at Tang Feng, and said quite proudly: "Mr. Tang is very gentlemanly, of course I want to thank you, in order to thank you, I will bring you a good news by the way." β
Tang Feng asked, "What news?"
Liu Yue said: "Lin'an has a long history, and the antique trade has always been very active, I wonder if Mr. Tang is interested in visiting the antique market in Lin'an?"
"Where?" Tang Feng felt inappropriate after asking, Liu Yue must have gone together when she said this, she was too knowledgeable, and it was possible to know the secret of the Tang family being a family of tomb robbers through her own identification method, he changed his words and said: "Where are you interested, I'm very tired, I just want to sleep." β
