Although Lin Yi rejected Boss Yang's invitation to join the consortium boss as an alternate appraiser, Boss Yang still treated him politely and gave him a five-percent discount on bathhouse consumption. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although this is just a small favor in terms of human favors, it shows that this boss can be a man.

After taking a bath, because the weather was too cold, Lin Yi and the others simply didn't go back to the hotel, and found a place to stay nearby. Until the next morning.

In the next few days, Lin Yi was already at the point of having no books to buy, how to say, he visited almost all the places in the capital to buy and sell used books. So much so that Lin Yi had to shift his target and pay attention to some antiques that he didn't have much eye on before. On the one hand, spend time and wait for the Bohai auction to begin; The second is to exercise yourself, after all, the identification ability of ancient books sometimes needs to be improved with the help of antiques. You must know that Tan Jinfu, who is at the level of a great god, is a great expert in ancient books and antiques. Although Lin Yi has studied gold and stone, the antique water is too deep, and he thinks that his skills have not yet reached the level of being able to pick up old books casually.

In fact, it is said that this antique shop is the deepest in the 360 lines, which is not true at all.

Antique shops call buying good antiques at a low price "picking up leaks", and buying fakes "taking medicine". There are antique collections that are missing at any time, and there are also pills at any time. No one has never bought a fake product without taking medicine, but they still enjoy it, because risks and opportunities coexist. So there is a jargon: good eyesight is made by eye drops.

Let's just say that this is a lot of attention to buying things in an antique shop. Don't reach out easily when you enter the door, take something with care, try not to make a sound, and don't collide. Otherwise, if you run into a rogue boss, he may want to blackmail you into breaking his things.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "the shopkeeper deceives customers", and the owner of the antique shop often does not like to deal with the customers who are not sincere in buying things, and those who are dressed shabby are not welcomed. At this time, if you want to win respect, you should calmly ask him how many collections in the store have arrived, and be bold to get started. Then the boss will look at you differently, make you tea and pour water, and find a few things that he is not sure of for you to talk about. However, if you want to go to the antique shop to pick up the leak, it is best to go and ask for the price of the imitation first, so that most of the bosses will think that you don't know how to do it, and when you ask for good things, they will relax their vigilance and sell you good things.

It's best not to go alone when visiting an antique shop, shouting two like-minded people together, everyone pretends to be confused, and a song and a harmony can often cut the price. But don't be with someone who doesn't know how to do it, his careless words may also mess up what you have.

On this day, the heavy snow stopped, and the weather was much better than before, and it was a good time to visit the capital in winter.

Without He Dabao as a guide, Lin Yi, Lao Cao, and Lao Huang came to Beihai Antique City, the largest in Beijing. They went into an antique shop, and there were a few old items in the store. The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man with glasses, sitting behind the counter, guarding the antique stove, wiping down the antiques, and looking at them with ignorance.

Lin Yi understood in his heart that the man with glasses must have thought that they were ordinary tourists, so he pointed to a broken Qianlong pastel ink bed on the counter and asked him what the price was?

The man with the eyes said, this is expensive, although it is disabled, it will cost more than 10,000.

The so-called "ink bed" is one of the stationery utensils for a short break when grinding ink, and the place where the ink is polished to be moistened for temporary ink rest. Most of them are made of wood, jade and porcelain, and the shape is either a bed type or a few case type. The exact date of its production is not known, and there is little documentation of it. The earliest ones seen so far are artifacts from the Ming Dynasty.

Lin Yi has the deepest study of antiques such as gold and stone and the four treasures of the study, although this grinding machine is damaged, it is still a good study of the generation, ordinary people will not ask, they are experts, and Lin Yi can also hear from the boss's quotation that he is not a layman.

Lin Yi casually asked a few more genuine items in the store, but he didn't mean to buy them, just to see the boss's grasp of the price and collection, and then continued to look for his target.

At this time, Lin Yi saw a "flower and bird light color cover jar", which was very elegant. When I picked it up, the author was "Cai Songnian". Cai Songnian is a famous light color painter in the late Qing Dynasty Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Factory, and his works are very elegant, and it is difficult to see them on the market.

Lin Yi turned over and saw that a label was attached to the bottom of the can: the price was 600 yuan. Lin Yixin said: Little leak! So he asked quietly, can this be cheaper?

The boss looked up at Lin Yi and said it couldn't be cheap.

Lin Yi said, then wrap it up, it's 600.

At this time, Lao Cao, who was walking with Lin Yi, saw that the boss would not let him say anything, so he said in a loud voice, Damn, you are not a specialty store, and you can't sell as much as you want!

Who knew that the boss stopped packing the porcelain, and tore off the price on the porcelain, saying: I won't sell it!

As soon as Lao Cao saw it, he wanted to roll up his sleeves and reason with him, Lin Yi said forget it, you go around first.

Lao Cao is not enough to succeed and more than to lose, blinking, and wants to defend a few more words, Lao Huang, who knows Lin Yi's eyes, will go out as soon as he pulls him.

Lin Yi discussed with the boss alone and said not to hurt the harmony because of one thing. But the glasses man is reluctant to sell.

Lin Yi took a look at it and pulled it down!

Then he turned and left.

Out of the store, along the way, Lao Cao grabbed his bald head, very embarrassed, saying that I wanted to help you repay the price, but I didn't expect to meet such a boss.

Lin Yi said it didn't matter, wasn't it just a small jar.

Lin Yi knew in his heart that it was his previous words that alarmed the boss, and he must be afraid that he would miss the sale.

……

When I came back, I always felt that it was not a good taste when I thought about it. After thinking about it, I still have to buy that jar and breathe a sigh of relief.

Lin Yi then called He Dabao and entrusted him to help him buy the jar, telling him that the name of the store was "Xianyue Zhai". And repeatedly told him not to say that he bought it for others, let alone mention the things that had happened in the past.

He Dabao promised that it would be done.

Who knew that when He Dabao went to the store, the boss offered 1,500 yuan.

He Dabao didn't dare to make his own claim, and called Lin Yi to ask how to do it, whether to buy it or not.

Lin Yi was still thinking about it, and He Dabao called again, saying that someone from the store also took a fancy to the antique and was willing to bid 1500.

Lin Yi was surprised, he didn't expect things to be so coincidental, he didn't buy it last time, he failed to pick up the leak, and this time someone grabbed it with him---

He Dabao asked again, whether to buy it or not? The boss said that he was principled in doing business, on a first-come, first-served basis, and if we didn't buy it, he would give it to the customer who came later.

Lin Yi thought that the price of the antique had come to an end, so he shook his head and said to He Dabao, no need, let it go.

He Dabao sighed.

Hang up.

Lin Yi thought that this matter was over, and he didn't succeed in picking up the leak. But the next day, when he opened the Beijing News Newspaper and accidentally saw the collection plate, he saw the piece of Cai Songnian's "Flower and Bird Light Silk Cover Jar" that he had not succeeded in picking up.

Lin Yi rubbed his eyes, afraid that he didn't see clearly, so he looked at it carefully---

The picture is printed in color, and it is high and clear, so that Lin Yi looked at it again and again, and finally decided that he was not mistaken, it was the "Flower and Bird Light Silk Cover Jar" that he missed last time.

The author of the article recounted in detail the process of finding this rare work of the late Qing Dynasty; Immediately afterwards, the auction prices of Cai Songnian's works over the years were compared; It also made a comparison and evaluation in terms of process level and process skills; Later, the price of this "flower and bird light color cover cylinder" was 30,000 yuan.

Seeing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but wonder, it seems that this author is very knowledgeable, but is the price too high, you must know that the boss didn't ask for 1,500 yuan, but he commented that the price was 30,000, which was directly increased by 20 times.

But what surprised Lin Yi even more was that at the end of the article, it was said that this antique that he priced at 30,000 yuan "has already been sold", please don't worry about it anymore.

What do you mean?

It's priced at 30,000 and it's already sold?!

Lin Yi couldn't help but be surprised, this is the real "turning stones into gold", just one sentence says that if you sell 30,000, you will sell 30,000!

Lin Yi hurriedly went to see the name of this cattle author......

I saw three big characters written at the back of the article--- Tan Jinfu (to be continued.) )
