Chapter 308: Unlucky Boss

Inside the book house.

Wang Han showed his collection of cultural relics and antiques to Li Fan one by one.

Wang Han asked people to open the glass window, took out a pipe, and said, "This is a pipe given to me by a friend and brought back home from Europe." ”

Li Fan looked at it carefully and said, "Lin Yutang's own 'Stanway pipe'!"

Wang Han was shocked, "Amazing!"

Li Fan said with a smile: "You should find the manuscript of Lin Yutang's poem "Yongyan" again, and the two will be very valuable if they are combined into one." ”

"It's a pity that I didn't see this. ”

Li Fan suggested: "You should put an explanation in the glass case. ”

"It's not in a hurry, Li Fan, you're looking at this inkstone. ”

Li Fan glanced at it, "It should be during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and the inkstone was a bit 'flooded' during this period, and it was mass-produced." However, this inkstone is good and genuine. ”

"Well, I bought it at that store. You're looking at this old pocket watch. ”

"It should have been from the end of the 18th century. ”

……

After looking at Wang Han's collection, Li Fan found another replica, which was also a porcelain, a blue and white porcelain bowl.

"This is a replica. ”

Wang Han asked, "Is there anything else?"

"It's gone. ”

"I bought 6 pieces of collection in that store, and these two pieces of porcelain were all fake. ”

Li Fan thought for a moment and said, "Tell me about the process." ”

The process was very simple, Wang Han didn't plan to buy porcelain when he arrived at the store, because he didn't know anything about it, he mainly went to buy pipes, and after buying pipes, pocket watches, etc., he bought these two imitations after the recommendation of the clerk.

Li Fan probably understood, and he asked, "What should I do?"

Wang Han said: "Accompany me to get the money back." ”

Li Fan rolled his eyes and said, "Let's clean up the debris on the desk and bring it over together." ”

"Yes, yes!"

Li Fan thought about it again and said, "Why don't we smash this blue and white porcelain vase too?"

Wang Han was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Yes!"

After that, but with a crisp sound, the blue and white porcelain vase fell apart.

……

The car drove around and around to the antique market, and Li Fan and Wang Han walked to the door of a very large store.

"This is it. ”

"Oh, Brother Han, don't talk after you enter the store, who doesn't know you in Tansha. ”

"Good!"

Li Fan actually didn't understand a little, even the city's business card-level characters dared to deceive, is this store unpredictable or is it dying to make money?

I didn't understand the details of the other party, so I had to come tentatively.

Two people walked into the store with their feet up, and a clerk had already greeted them.

"Welcome, gentlemen, what are you interested in?"

Li Fan said with a sharp voice: "Just take a look." ”

At a casual glance, Li Fan said secretly: What is on the surface is genuine, and there is no fake copy!

Li Fan stopped in front of a blue and white porcelain vase and watched: "This bottle, from the Ming Dynasty?"

"Hello eyesight, you are a connoisseur at first glance. ”

Li Fan rolled up his sleeves and showed the expensive watch given to him by Gu Yating's relatives, "Well, it's not too early, Lao Han, we have to buy it quickly." ”

Wang Han nodded, no squeak.

As soon as the clerk saw this watch, he immediately smiled, but he didn't expect that this masked hero, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, was still a rich man. The clerk said, "Do you want this bottle?"

"No, no, it's useless if I like it, I'm going to give it away, the people on it like calligraphy and painting, I'm thinking about sending one. ”

The clerk said tentatively: "You are really good, and you also have an understanding of calligraphy and painting." ”

"Yes, haha, yes, a little understanding!"

The clerk led Li Fan to a landscape painting and said, "What do you think of this painting?"

Li Fan smashed his mouth and began to talk nonsense: "Eh, it's not bad, this tree painting is meticulous, complicated but not messy, the ink is smudged, moist and full of vitality, a bit like the painting style of Tang Bohu in the Ming Dynasty......"

The more he said, the more wrong he became, the more wrong he became, and the clerk said in his heart: It's okay, but you can deceive it...... Uh, no, it's sellable!

The clerk turned around and gave the manager a look, and the manager said, "Pick one of the new paintings upstairs that have arrived in the past two days." ”

Li Fan said suspiciously: "There are also new paintings." ”

The clerk said, "Yes, the new paintings are all upstairs." ”

"Oh, why don't you go upstairs and have a look?"

The clerk hesitated and said, "But upstairs is the warehouseβ€”"

The manager interrupted, "It's okay, let's go." ”

"Very well, sir, please come with me. ”

A few people went upstairs, there was no mystery on this upstairs, it was very different from the antique shops that Li Fan often visited, the warehouses were one by one, separated by partitions, and each house had a different name outside the door.

Li Fan followed behind the clerk and happened to see the door of a warehouse where porcelain was stored open, and there happened to be a customer drooling over a jade pot spring bottle.

Li Fan took a look at it, this jade pot spring bottle is painted with two large hibiscus flowers, the painting is clumsy, the pen tone is flashy, typical modern crafts, can be written: Made-in-China, 2018.

He was just about to walk in to see the excitement, but the clerk grabbed him early and said, "Please come with me." ”

"Okay. Li Fan also followed him and continued to walk forward.

The clerk was eager to wipe his sweat and secretly blamed his colleague for not closing the door properly. The masked man in front of him still has a certain understanding of porcelain.

Led by the clerk to a warehouse where calligraphy and paintings were stored, Li Fan looked at the dozens of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign paintings hanging in the room, and couldn't help but be shocked!

"Bamboo and Stone Drawing", replica!

"The Plain Girl's Sutra", replica!

"Landscape of the World", replica!

……

It's all fakes!

Li Fan was secretly surprised, in terms of deceptive methods, many stores really have frequent tricks, and they are endless.

Probably figured out how Wang Han got into the set (of course, if you want to let the buyer into the set, the store has countless methods and 'skills', after all, people specialize in studying buyers), Li Fan smiled slightly, you can collect debts.

"Look, this is Momoyamaru's "Eighteen Ladies", look at this. ”

"I don't look at it. ”

The clerk pointed to another picture, "This is the "Outing Map", which our boss brought back home from Singapore. ”

"I don't look at it. ”

"This-"

Li Fan interrupted the clerk and said, "Beauty, don't look at it." ”

The clerk asked suspiciously, "So what are you looking at?"

Li Fan smiled: "I want to see your boss, we want to talk to him." ”

"Uh, you?" The clerk found that Li Fan's tone was wrong, and immediately realized that she wanted to spoil the dish, her face changed, and her eyes were staring at Li Fan and Wang Han, eager to pull down their sunglasses and masks!

At this time, Li Fan had to reveal his identity, otherwise, the two of them would have to be "served" well in the next second, rather than being tense, it was better to face it elegantly and calmly.

Li Fan took off his sunglasses and mask and resumed his usual voice, "I'm Li Fan!"

The clerk clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Wow, Li Fan, I still voted for you!"

Wang Han took off his mask and sunglasses, frowned, and said, "I'm Wang Han!"

The clerk's head "buzzed", it's over, their ability to observe words and emotions is too strong, knowing that this is looking for the door, she hurriedly said: "You two go to the lounge to rest first, I'll go to the two of you to see if the boss is there." ”

Wang Han said with a cold face: "It's okay, we'll wait for him to come before leaving." ”

After the clerk led the two to the lounge, she hurriedly found the manager, "It's bad, manager, Wang Han has found it, and Li Fan has also come." ”

"Huh?"

"The two people you brought with you are!"

"Holy! I ...... I...... I'll make a call," the manager wiped his sweat and called the boss, "Boss, don't do health care first, go back to the store quickly, Wang Han has found it back, and brought a Li Fan." ”

In less than 10 minutes, the boss trotted all the way and pushed open the door with trembling fat, he panted and pulled the manager to the side, and scolded angrily: "Didn't I let you watch people put off the dishes? Why do you sell such celebrities to them? These stinky cultural people, one by one, love to show off, buy something and want to let everyone in the circle know, isn't it a death to sell to them?"

"Boss, Shauna sells it, I don't know, if only I was here, what should I do now?"

"Smart people don't do foolish things, I think of how to get this thing done in a way that is in a good way. ”

The boss wiped his sweat, drank a sip of water, and then went upstairs and walked into the lounge.

As soon as he entered the door, he opened his arms and pounced on the two of them enthusiastically, saying, "Yo, two celebrities have come to the door, and my small shop is suddenly full of brilliance! Brother Han, Mr. Li, welcome! It's an honor!"

After hugging, Li Fan and Wang Han didn't speak, they just looked at him with a slight smile, and directly panicked the fat boss.

"Well, why doesn't anyone serve tea? Show the tea to the two respected teachers! Two teachers, I am really respectful, I am really excited and happy to come to our small shop. ”

Wang Han said: "Your shop is not small, in this antique city, it belongs to your shop, you have everything, everything 'have'." ”

The boss said this and his tone for a moment, and hurriedly found a way out for himself, and said: "Small business, life is not easy, our industry is risky, if you are not careful, if you get an unpleasant object in your hand, you will suffer." ”

Li Fan said with a smile: "You sellers are at risk, and we buyers are also at risk!"

When the boss heard this, his heart immediately tightened, and he nodded "yes" hurriedly.

Li Fan said again: "Brother Han and I, I came to you today to exchange the goods, can we exchange the porcelain we want to buy in your store for something else?"

"Yes! Of course you can! The others can't do it, you two must do it!" the boss patted his chest and said, he thought to himself: save some face for yourself, you have a wrist.

Wang Han said: "That's easy, then thank you boss first." ”

"You're welcome, I'll have someone pick it up. ”

Wang Han said: "No need, we brought it." ”

"Brought?"

Li Fan took off the backpack behind him, unzipped it, and took out a plastic bag, and after opening the plastic bag, Li Fan carefully placed the pieces on the table one by one.

After the fragments were lined up, the boss was angry, laughing and helpless, and he still took care of the loss, so he had to smirk awkwardly.

Li Fan counted, "One, two, three, four...... There are a total of 21 pieces, all of them, a lot. What collection can be exchanged for the same value, the boss will introduce it, and return more and make up for less!"

The boss asked, "What about the other porcelain?"

"Oh, here, I almost forgot. ”

Li Fan took out another pocket from his bag and carefully placed three rows on the table, "There are 25 pieces in total, and this one is also available." ”

The boss's face is green and purple, this is the two in front of him who really can't afford to offend, otherwise they would have beaten someone else.

The boss said in his heart: These cultural people, come here to pretend to be confused, "pretend to be crazy and stupid" to be angry with themselves, and they have to accompany them to pretend to be confused.

At this time, the tea also came up, Li Fan took it and tasted it, and then frowned: "This tea, it's not authentic!"

Seeing this, the boss hurriedly said, "Go and bring our best tea!"

The clerk said, "This is the best!"

Seeing that Li Fan and Wang Han were silent, the boss hurriedly said: "Go to the tea house in the backstreet to buy the most expensive tea!"

"Good, good. ”

The boss said again: "Brother Han, what will we replace for you?" ”

Wang Han said: "I spent 90,000 yuan to buy a blue and white porcelain vase, 150,000 yuan to buy an imitation copper furnace, you see, what do you replace for me, the boss introduced us to accept." ”

"Wait a minute, I'll come when I go. ”

After a while, the boss came back with a calligraphy and painting and asked Li Fan and Wang Han to take a look.

Li Fan took a closer look, this "Yique Pavilion" is a genuine work, and the work is also excellent, it is the work of a lesser-known painter in the Qing Dynasty, and the estimated market price is about 200,000 yuan, and this boss is "sincere" enough.

However, Li Fan shook his head, "I don't like it very much." ”

When Wang Han saw Li Fan shaking his head, he also said, "Me too." ”

The boss rolled his eyes, hurriedly walked out, and came back with a plate in a moment.

Li Fan looked at it carefully, his face suddenly sank, and he said: "Boss, the market price of this plate is 3 to 50,000 yuan lower than the previous "Yique Pavilion", right?

The sweat on the boss's forehead came down at that time, Li Fan, you are so knowledgeable? You two bastards, are you here to slaughter Lao Tzu?

The boss hurriedly said: "My plate is not for your 150,000 imitation copper furnace, but for your 90,000 blue and white porcelain vase." ”

Li Fan slapped his thigh, "Look, I still misunderstood you, I'm sorry, you continue!"

The boss walked out of the lounge, so angry that he scratched his liver.

Next:

Indian small-leaved red sandalwood ornaments, Li Fan shook his head.

Qing Dynasty Luohan table, Li Fan continued to shake his head.

……

In the end, the boss gritted his steel teeth and took out the "Migration Map" by the famous contemporary painter Ouyang Zhenze, but Li Fan still continued to shake his head.

The boss is not doing it now, although this "Migration Map" was bought by himself, and it only cost 70,000 yuan, but on the market, this value is less than 1 million, if you fry it, you may not know how much.

Two big brothers, it's almost there!

Seeing that the boss's face changed when he stood there, Li Fan knew that it was almost over, and he said, "Boss, go on." ”

"Teacher Li, if you continue, you will really have to add money. ”

"We don't add money, or that's it?"

Wang Han nodded: "Then so be it." ”

Li Fan said: "Okay, let's make it difficult for this one, wrap this "Migration Map" first, and then let's change to another one." ”

Reluctantly?

The boss said in his heart, what a difficult one!

After the "Migration Map" was wrapped, the boss poured out three more objects, namely an imitation Ru kiln, a Qing Dynasty paperweight and a set of out-of-print stamps.

"Two teachers, please choose one of these three. ”

Li Fan was excited, his eyes flashed brightly, he pointed to the imitation Ru kiln and said: "That's it, don't pick, we are in a hurry to record, you hurry up and wrap it up for us!"

The boss is happy, among these three pieces, the imitation Ru kiln is the cheapest, and the market price is about 90,000 yuan, fortunately!

The clerks were hurrying to pack up, eager to send the two creditors away immediately.

And Li Fan was already a little restless with excitement, and after the packing was completed, Li Fan and Wang Han immediately said goodbye, turned around and left.

As soon as the two of them left, the boss was furious in the office: "I'm so angry, ah, it doesn't matter if it's true or not, how can anyone exchange fragments, where are they here to exchange goods? They are here to rob and suck blood, my "Migration Map", more than 1 million! You grandchildren, you grandchildren, will open my eyes wide in the future, who should sell and who should not sell, long snacks. ”

The manager said: "Boss, don't feel distressed, sell a calligraphy and painting and return to the capital!"

Li Fan and Wang Han, the two of them were bloodless, nor did they quarrel and shout at their father and scold their mother, nor did they argue with the boss about which goods were fake and why they were fake. Don't be angry, don't scold, and calmly exchange for more valuable collectibles.

Li Fan summed it up and said: "We are cultural people, we must be cultivated!"

Wang Han smiled: "You, I guess you the boss to death." ”

"However, if he cheats us, he will cheat others, so forget it, I'm a little unwilling. ”

Wang Han said: "Indeed. But we just changed things, and the boss is also trying to break the fortune and avoid disasters, so it's not good for us to continue how to do it. ”

Li Fan nodded, "Yes!"

Wang Han thought for a while, suddenly took out his mobile phone, and made a call: "Mr. Sun, do you still remember the store in the antique city where the two of us went last time? Hey, guess what? I just went to replace my broken blue and white porcelain and imitation copper Xuan furnace with "Migration Map" and an imitation Ru kiln. ”

On the other end of the phone, "Old Han, eh, you're so funny, broken things can be exchanged for "Migration Map", you can really talk nonsense, open ...... Eh, I seem to understand what you mean, I'll change it too!"

Putting down the phone, the two of them laughed.

"You're so bad!"

"You're worse than me!"

After another burst of laughter, Li Fan said, "Brother Han, find a place to park." ”

"Huh?"

"I'll tell you, you're rich, do you know the price of the imitation Ru kiln?"

"100,000 at most!"

"100,000?
