To say that the middle-aged man has worked in the antique shop for many years, he has seen a lot of customers of all kinds. But like Fang Yuan, there are not many customers who have brought him great pressure.

Fang Yuan didn't have this self-consciousness, but he was somewhat unhappy. After all, he thinks Shou Tao is good, very suitable for the occasion, and is thinking about seeing the real thing, if the quality is as good as in the album, then he will buy it directly, so as not to pick and choose.

But now, there is nothing left, and the failure of the plan naturally makes him sulky. This means that he has to choose again, which is not a small trouble for him who has a little difficulty in choosing.

"Sir, we apologize for the inconvenience caused to you due to our mistakes." The middle-aged man cautiously apologized: "Otherwise, you can look at something else, if you are satisfied, we can give a nine-percent discount......"

For things that cost hundreds of thousands, a 10% discount can definitely be a lot cheaper.

The question is, is Fang Yuan short of this amount of money?

"I saw it, just this longevity peach, it is more in line with my heart, and other things are not suitable for birthday gifts." Fang Yuan shook his head, then got up and said, "Forget it, I still have to go somewhere else." ”

"Sir, wait." The middle-aged man was immediately anxious, Fang Yuan was obviously a big customer, equivalent to the God of Wealth. The God of Wealth is coming and leaving, which is not a good phenomenon.

Watching the opportunity to make money slip through your hands is not a conscientious employee. If you let the boss know, even if you don't fire him, you will have to scold him.

Besides, middle-aged people also know very well that a high roller like Fang Yuan is also very clear. If you come once and don't get anything back, then I'm afraid you won't come back again. Other words. Fang Yuan's departure, the store may not only miss a business. It's a long-term customer.

Thinking like this, the middle-aged man naturally hurriedly kept it: "Sir, although there are not many things for birthday celebrations in our store, there are also a few ......things that are not at the bottom of the box in the album."

"Huh?" As soon as Fang Yuan heard this, his footsteps stopped: "What's at the bottom of the box?" ”

"Sir, sit down first, and listen to me slowly explain to you in detail......" The peak turns around, and there is still room for redemption. The middle-aged man was naturally very happy, and said with a smile: "Those few things are absolutely very rare and worth a lot of money!" ”

Fang Yuan sat down again, nodded and said, "Value is one thing, and the meaning of things is also one thing. Celebrating the birthday of the elderly can't be too vulgar. Otherwise, I'll just send gold and silver. And why buy any gifts. ”

"Yes, yes, yes......" The middle-aged man echoed again and again, and turned back to wink: "Xiaoqian, why don't you hurry up and go to my office and bring the booklet I put in the drawer." ”

"Ugh. Oh......" The girl next to her was stunned for a moment, before she reacted and hurriedly retreated. A moment later. He hurried back and handed a thin picture album to the middle-aged man.

Middle-aged people take advantage of the trend. He gave the album to Fang Yuan, and then said with a smile: "Sir." Take a look at it again. ”

Fang Yuan was not polite, and took the album and opened it casually. At first glance, he also had to admit that the things at the bottom of the box were indeed not bad. Exquisite, jeweled, very high-end atmosphere on the grade.

"What do you think, sir?"

At the same time, the middle-aged man also leaned over and gave his own advice: "This painting is a masterpiece of the Qing Dynasty, painting turquoise and white cranes, pine cranes are prolonged, and the meaning is quite long." ”

Fang Yuan examined it and first looked at the basic information introduction of the painting, which seemed to be the work of a well-known painter in the Qing Dynasty. However, it is not a familiar name, so the price of the painting is not very high, only more than 300,000 yuan.

You must know that the price of ancient Chinese calligraphy and painting in the market is getting hotter and hotter, and it is millions, tens of millions, or even more than 100 million at every turn. In comparison, the price of hundreds of thousands is indeed not expensive.

It's a pity that Fang Yuan doesn't know much about calligraphy and painting, and he doesn't know how to identify authenticity, so after looking at it twice, he directly shook his head and vetoed: "That old man, he doesn't read much, and he is not a cultural person." Sending calligraphy and paintings, I'm afraid he doesn't like it. ”

Anyway, the middle-aged man didn't know Zhang Daoxin, and Fang Yuan didn't mind hacking him.

For Fang Yuan's reason, the middle-aged man believed it, or whatever the customer said, he believed it. After all, if you want customers to pay willingly, you must naturally follow the customer's wishes.

It's okay to paint it, it's okay, there's something else. The middle-aged man rolled his eyes, pointed to something on the booklet and said, "Sir, how about you look at this rich and auspicious plant?" ”

Fang Yuan took advantage of the situation and saw the so-called wealth and auspiciousness, which was an artificial bonsai. It's not right to say it's bonsai, it's actually a large copper basin similar to an ingot, and in the basin are all kinds of pearls and gemstones.

Such a thing can be regarded as a veritable luxury. To be honest, buying such a thing, except for the broad, has no substance, and it can be called the favorite of the nouveau riche.

Fang Yuan glanced at it, his eyes immediately turned white, he didn't bother to evaluate, and turned the page directly. Turning the other page of the booklet, Fang Yuan suddenly felt a light in his eyes: "This is ......"

Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that there would be such a thing in an antique store. When Fang Yuan saw it, his gaze was fixed there, and he never left.

The middle-aged man looked at his face and immediately discovered this situation, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Sir, you really have vision, this is a good thing." ”

“…… Whether the thing is good or not, you don't count. Fang Yuan slowly retracted his gaze, raised his head and said, "Hearing is false, seeing is believing." If you can satisfy me, then you don't need to give me any discount, just whatever the price is. ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he couldn't help but have a bright smile on his face: "Sir, wait a minute, I'll go get it right away." ”

While talking, the middle-aged man instructed the girl to add tea and pour water, and hurried out the door. This walk, delayed for seven or eight minutes, before he took two other young and strong young men and carefully carried something in.

The thing is very large, and it is quite weighty, and the three of them carry it, and it looks a little difficult. After some movement, he was carried to the VIP room and gently put down.

"Look, sir, this is it." As soon as the middle-aged man wiped his sweat, he gushed out: "This is a thing from the Qing Dynasty Internal Affairs Office, a royal treasure." It is nearly one meter high, with a diameter of forty centimeters in the abdomen, and the whole body is made of pure copper, which is very atmospheric and ......"

"Something from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Fang Yuan stood up and questioned, "Really? ”

"Absolutely not fake, fake one pays ten." The middle-aged man swore and said: "Don't hide it from you, sir, this is a thing of overseas repatriation, there is an appraisal issued by experts from the Forbidden City, and there is also an insurance policy from an insurance company, how can it be fake." ”

Fang Yuan smiled, noncommittal. After all, with the superb counterfeiting technology of modern people, as long as there are enough benefits, what can't be faked? Of course, if you say this, you can only think about it in your heart, and there is no need to say it.

At the right time, Fang Yuan walked over, stretched out his hand and gently touched the thing, only to feel a burst of coldness in his hand, and a hard texture was transmitted from his fingertips.

"Sir, such a thing is rare anymore." The middle-aged man took the opportunity to say: "Although it is said to be made of pure copper, according to legend, royal treasure casters are often used to mixing gold with copper. That's why when something is cast, the surface can emit a layer of gold-like light, and that's what it looks like......"

The middle-aged man didn't lie, the lights were on in the VIP room, and under the lights, things did float with a pale yellow luster. This layer of luster is similar to that of gold, but the color is more primitive, like the color of Tibetan scripture paper.

It was this layer of color that made Fang Yuan a little more confident in things. Of course, it's just a bit of confidence, after all, the news of antiques doing old in these years is not an isolated case, but an ordinary status quo, and it has to be guarded against.

Seeing that Fang Yuan was indeed interested in this thing, the middle-aged man next to him would definitely not remain silent, so he naturally encouraged his tongue and said enthusiastically: "Sir, this thing is definitely of excellent quality, and it is very suitable for birthday celebrations." ”

"Old people, how much do you have the habit of offering to the gods and Buddhas, you use gold to send silver, food and clothing, it is better to send this thing that can be commonly used......"

The middle-aged man talked eloquently, foaming at the mouth, and there was some truth in what he said.

Fang Yuan didn't speak, just continued to look at the incense burner in front of him. That's right, it's an incense burner, a big incense burner. The east and west are three-legged, round-bellied, and covered. The lid is hollowed out and spired, and it is very fine.

On the surface of the round belly of the incense burner, it is a very gorgeous carving, with auspicious clouds, flying cranes, spirit animals and other patterns, full of auspicious and beautiful meanings. This kind of thing should not be too bad to be used as a birthday gift.

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and simply asked, "How much is the thing?" ”

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, it's only 1.88 million ......" the middle-aged man smiled and said, even if he is the supervisor of the store, but if his performance is good, he can be rewarded by the boss, even if he can't be promoted, he can also get a raise.

"One million eight hundred and eighty thousand!" Fang Yuan glanced at the copper incense burner again, if the thing was genuine, not an inferior imitation of gold and jade, then such a price was indeed not too expensive.

Fang Yuan hesitated and circled around the big incense burner, a little undecided. This money is not a problem, I am afraid that if I buy a fake thing and then give it away as a gift, it will be a big joke.

While Fang Yuan was struggling, the door of the VIP room suddenly opened, and then a wave of people poured in.

Hearing the movement, Fang Yuan and the others naturally looked over.

"Boss......" The middle-aged man was stunned and surprised: "Why are you here?" ”

"How did you get this stove here?" After a group of people came in, one of them spoke, with a bit of blame. This man was about forty years old, in a suit and leather shoes, and had a bit of majesty.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the middle-aged man was suddenly startled and explained in a panic: "Boss, this gentleman wants to buy this stove......"

"Who?" (To be continued......) R1292
