Chapter 1349 Bronze Beast-Faced Cup

……

At noon, after the matter of Bogu.com was agreed, several happy old men drank a little high. In order not to delay the appraisal in the afternoon, they did not have the opportunity to visit the antique market outside the exhibition center after lunch.

After the people who watched the program team send the three old men back to the hotel to rest, Liu Dong drove back to the exhibition center alone.

It's only the beginning of April, and the noon sun shines on people lazily with the warmth of spring. In addition, after a full meal and drink, many people are willing to take a walk to eliminate food, and they have to wait for the afternoon appraisal. Therefore, when Liu Dong returned here after lunch, the flow of people in the entire antique market was not much worse than in the morning.

However, this lively scene is exactly what Liu Dong wants to see. If it's too deserted, what's the point of strolling around?

Of course, just because you're in the antiques market doesn't mean you're going to get something. In order to experience the fun of digging treasures, Liu Dong, who did not immediately use the relics of Yuanguang, went around the antique market, although he also saw a few good antiques in the middle, but he did not make a move for one reason or another.

And just as he was about to leave after most of the antique market, a young man with a bulging baggage in his arms not far away hurriedly walked over. Maybe it was because I was in too much of a hurry, so I didn't pay attention to my feet, and stepped on an apple core that I don't know who threw it without virtue.

The result can be imagined, the whole person fell backwards unprepared.

"Oops, whoa......!"

With the screams of pain from the young man, the contents of the other party's baggage rolled to the ground. Just then, a bronze beast-faced cup rolled down at Liu Dong's feet.

"Huh!"

Liu Dong, who didn't care about it, happened to see the cup under his feet out of the corner of his eye, but he was about to turn around and leave, but he involuntarily stopped. And. Soon, he bowed down and picked up the cup under his feet, put it in front of his eyes, and looked at it carefully.

At this time, the young man saw that his things were scattered, for fear that there would be more people here and take away his things again. Therefore, after falling to the ground, I didn't care about the pain from screaming, and after a 'grunt' got up. Hurry up and pick up what you have dropped on the ground.

"Hello, this cup is mine!"

"I know, but I like it. How much? I want it! Facing the young man's concerned eyes with a little nervousness, Liu Dong smiled.

"You want to buy it?"

"yes, what? Doesn't it sell? Liu Dongdao.

"Of course sell! However, these things belong to my dad, and I don't know the exact price. If you want to buy it, come with me! However, you have to give me the things first! The young man said.

"Okay!"

After handing the bronze cup back to the young man. Liu Dong walked a short distance behind the other party and came to a stall full of antiques.

The length of this stall is about 5 meters, and the width is more than 3 meters, which is considered large in the whole market!

"Dad, I'm back!"

"Why have you been there for so long, and have you brought everything?" The middle-aged man standing in the center of the stall greeting customers spoke and took the furoshiki from his son's hand.

"It's all brought! Still, that person wants to buy this mug! The young man held the bronze cup in his left hand. The right hand pointed to Liu Dong, who was following behind.

"Cups?"

After glancing at the bronze cup in his son's hand, the middle-aged man briefly looked at Liu Dong. And then said with a smile, "You want to buy this bronze cup?" ”

"Yes, the boss will make an offer!" Liu Dong said with a smile.

Although this bronze beast-faced cup is only a work of art from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, it is not a cultural relic of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. But even so, it is worth about thirty or forty thousand, which is a relatively good thing. And. Due to his special preference for bronzes, Liu Dong was also willing to buy it.

"Hehe, sir, you really have a vision, my cup is the court utensils of King Zhao's palace during the Warring States Period, and it is an old ......thing that has been passed down for more than 2,000 years!"

Hear here. Liu Dong didn't want to listen to the following words anymore! In the process of picking up leaks on Taobao countless times in the past, he has heard too much of this kind of 'Wang Po selling melons' style of rhetoric, and he is tired of it!

"Alright, alright! I know it's a good thing, so how much are you going to sell it for? Liu Dong hurriedly interrupted the other party.

"I'm a kind person, and you're kind when you look at your husband! In this way, I won't ask you more, 10,000 ......! ”

"One thousand, not a little more!"

Liu Dongcai didn't believe his words, 10,000 is still kind? If he's really a 'raw melon egg' who has just entered the antique shop, it's easy to deceive, right?

"A thousand is too little......!"

"I want 10,000!"

Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, he heard a somewhat eager voice next to him interject.

Hearing this, Liu Dong's brows furrowed suddenly. The most taboo thing in the antique shop is to cut off the beard halfway! If you meet a person with a bad temper, because this matter can be fought.

"I want this cup for 10,000 yuan!"

As he spoke, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, slightly obese, and a glittering glint in a small eye under a single eyelid squeezed out of the crowd. Moreover, facing the eyes of everyone around him, he quickly took out a stack of unopened hundred-yuan bills from the black briefcase he carried and handed them to the middle-aged boss.

He looked anxious, as if he was afraid that someone would rob him.

"This ......!"

Looking at the money that was about to arrive, and then looking at Liu Dong, who was counteroffering first, the middle-aged boss who knew the rules was also a little hesitant.

Of course, as a shrewd businessman, he also has another consideration, his bronze cup, which he originally thought was worthless, was actually bought by someone rushing to buy it, did he look away? Gone for treasure?

"Is that you?"

After a brief look at the visitor, Liu Dong recognized the other party.

"Hehe, Teacher Liu! Thanks to your advice this morning! However, I also fancy this cup, so I ......, hehe! ”

Looking at the hypocritical humility and philistine smile on the other party's face, Liu Dong was tired in his heart, and at the same time, he also understood that he wanted to buy this bronze beast face cup at the 'Taobao price', which was basically impossible!

After all, the middle-aged man standing across from him understands his identity. Even what he, an expert in the appraisal, wants to buy, is definitely not a fake!

However, only he, Liu Dong, is the only one who makes others cheap, and others want to make cheap money from him without paying a price, so how can it work?

"It doesn't matter, buying things is meant to be the one with the highest price. If you are willing to pay a high price, then it will be yours! Liu Dong said indifferently.

"Hehe, then thank you Mr. Liu for making it happen!"

"Well said!"

After nodding, Liu Dong turned to look at the stall owner who was hesitating at the moment without hesitation and said, "This boss, my name is Liu Dong, and I am one of the four appraisal experts in this treasure appraisal activity, and I am good at the appraisal of porcelain and miscellaneous. …… Although your bronze beast-faced cup is not a Warring States artwork, it is also a court vessel in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. And the Jue Cup is relatively rare in the market, and the value is relatively high, the market conservative price is about forty or fifty thousand, and it may be higher if it is auctioned! Of course, it's up to you how you choose! Good bye! ”

After speaking, Liu Dong took one last look at the lower right corner of the stall, and left without caring about the expressions of the other people around him.

Now this situation, Liu Dong also knows it in his heart. After the identity of his expert was gradually revealed, it was impossible to even think about digging for treasures in this antique market close to the exhibition center.

Not to mention 100 percent, there is definitely a probability of more than 90 percent, and it will be cut off halfway by those who don't care about the rules at all, and just want to take the opportunity to pick up the cheap. Or, simply the antique stall owners themselves don't want to sell, after all, no one wants to 'take treasures'! Being scolded as a fool!

Watching Liu Dong's back disappear into the rolling crowd, the middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes was holding 10,000 yuan in his hand, with disdain on his face, but there was a longing in his eyes, and the middle-aged stall owner said: "Don't believe him, he is only so young and can have much appraisal experience!" Let's hurry up and trade, 10,000 yuan is not something anyone wants to take! ”

"Pay back 10,000 yuan, are you stupid for me? Not for sale! When the words fell, the middle-aged boss immediately carefully put away the bronze cup in his hand.

"How you talk doesn't count!" Seeing that the duck in his hand flew like this, the middle-aged man was naturally unwilling.

"You're saying something fresh! When did I promise to sell it to you? …… Well, even if I was willing to sell it for 10,000 yuan just now, it would be for the young expert just now, not for you! ”

"If I add another 10,000, how about 20,000?" The middle-aged boss Wo Huo Road.

"20,000 yuan won't be sold, unless you shoot it here for 100,000 yuan! Otherwise, don't talk about it! ”

The middle-aged stall owner is not stupid, from Liu Dong's attitude of turning around and leaving, as well as the surrounding discussions, he can understand that the bronze jue cup in his hand is probably an old object worth forty or fifty thousand yuan, as he said just now! In that case, there's no need to be polite!

"One hundred thousand? I think you're crazy about money! After the middle-aged boss scolded, his face turned red with anger, and he didn't bother to talk to the middle-aged stall owner again, so he turned around and left.

Judging from the other party's attitude just now, he knew that most of this jue cup would not be able to buy it today!

I wanted to take the opportunity to make a profit, but I didn't expect that 'the mutton was not eaten, but it caused a commotion'!

"I don't have the money to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf, and I don't even know the most basic rules, hey!" After scolding the middle-aged boss's departing back, looking at the box containing the bronze jue cup in his hand, the middle-aged boss immediately showed an excited smile on his face. It's like pie falling off his head for him.

"Son, you look at the stall first, Dad will go back!"

Tens of thousands of dollars weren't very safe to keep here, so the stall owner decided to put it back in the safe in the store first. Wait until someone appraisals it again and find out its specific value, and then decide how to deal with it! (To be continued.) )
