Chapter 1410: It's All Upside Down
The second is that it is Saturday, and the flow of people in the antique market is relatively large, not only to Taoliang lovers, but also many young couples, holding hands, hanging out here.
In addition to antiques, there are many other goods in the Chengbi Temple Market, which are very suitable for the needs of young people.
Lehman quickly stopped in front of a shop and stared at a set of chairman's medallions. There are so many types of antiques that even professionals can't distinguish them all. Many things, although not so far away, have also been taken to the antique market for trading because of their special significance.
For example, the chairman's medal, which is only more than 20 years ago, has many special medals and has become a sought-after item in the antique market. Liu Jun also saw the martyr's certificate during the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea. It is sold as an antique. As for the many special commemorative medals made during the Great Turmoil, such as the Red Book, they are commonly found in various antique markets.
Lehman's favorite set of medals is a ceramic product, a total of three. One of them. Very huge, almost half the size of a palm, Liu Jun simply visually measured, the diameter of the medallion is afraid to be no less than six centimeters.
This one is actually not the largest, and it is said that there is even a commemorative medal with a diameter of more than ten centimeters, but Yoo Jun has never seen it with his own eyes.
Lehman seemed particularly interested in these things, staring at the medallion for a moment, his eyes moving to a ruby book next to him. Again a careful gaze.
Liu Jun was not very interested in the collection of the commemorative medal red book, and he accompanied him to watch it and maintained due courtesy.
At this time, Liu Jun's mobile phone rang, Liu Jun picked it up and saw that it was a text message from Ling Ya, just one, question mark. This is also the characteristic of Ling Ya. After Liu Jun was transferred to Yulan City. Yan Fei took Yangyang and came to Yulan City together. Lived in Building 1 of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. Because Ding Yuzhou, secretary of the municipal party committee, lives in the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, the No. 1 building of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee has always been the mayor's residence.
Yoo Jun smiled, walked to the side, and dialed the phone.
"In the office?"
Ling Ya asked.
If she was at home, Liu Jun would definitely not call her in front of Yan Fei.
Liu Jun smiled and said, "In Chenglong Temple."
"Ah, you're going to be fooled again?"
Ling Ya immediately quipped. The story of Secretary Liu's Taobao finding quality has already spread in close circles, and Ling Ya also knows it, and takes it out from time to time to make fun of Liu Jun. It seems that Comrade Liu Jun is too capable, and there are not many things that can hit him, and when he encounters such a thing occasionally, he naturally has to make the most of it.
"Hehe, Director Ling, if you are like this, the Yulan City Government will consider suing you for defamation. Aren't you determined to tear down the signboard of the antique market? ”
Liu Jun was in a good mood and teased.
Ling Ya smiled and said, "It's also ha." The mayor bought the quality of the antique mayor in antiques. If others knew, would they dare to take action? Yoo Jun smiled.
"Hey, I'm coming"
Ling Ya began to be coquettish.
Liu Jun smiled: "Hang out with Lehman's big nose." You have to be behaving here."
Ling Ya pursed her lips on the other end of the phone, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "I'm bored to death."
Liu Jun smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll accompany Lehman, come over again!" ”
"Really? Words count, don't lie! ”
Director Ling hurriedly stared at him, for fear that Governor Liu would regret it and play tricks again.
Yoo Jun smiled and agreed. Hung up the phone.
By the time Yoo Joon walked over, Lehman was already bargaining with the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper saw that he was a gringo. Originally, some people were unreasonable. Although it is not entirely impossible for foreigners to buy the chairman's medal, after all, it is very rare, and the shopkeeper thinks that this business is basically useless, and the enthusiasm is naturally not high. Lehman asked about the price. The shopkeeper couldn't help but be overjoyed.
In 02, there have been 20 years of reform and opening up, and the Chinese people have long felt as unpredictable about foreigners as they did at the beginning of the opening up, but there are still some misunderstandings, and when they see high-nosed Europeans and Americans, they naturally believe that these people are rich "fat sheep" and quote a very high price.
Liu Jun and Ke Qifan Xue Yi smiled silently, waiting to "watch the show".
Lehman is not only a Dongfang Tong, fluent in Chinese, but also the chief negotiator of General Motors. Bargaining with others is exactly what he does, and the shopkeeper is looking away. Of course, if the shopkeeper goes too far, Lehman really becomes a "fat sheep." "I can't say that Governor Liu wants to come forward and speak up. Until then, you might as well watch from the wall.
Sure enough, as soon as Lehman opened his mouth, he seemed to have a very high level, and suddenly returned a price that was even more "outrageous" than the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was taken aback and couldn't help but look Lehman up and down again.
This big-nosed gringo is not only proficient in Chinese, but also proficient in the antique market, and also in price. It's almost a one-step process, and the shopkeeper won't lose, but he won't make much profit either. It is the means of accumulating veterans!
Lehman is so sophisticated that the owner has almost no room to fight back. Originally wanted to reduce the price step by step, no
Tian: I didn't let go, I didn't want to add any more money, Dian Feng said a few more words, and the shakujia door turned around and walked away. The shopkeeper had no choice but to sell him all the medallion and the red book at the price Lehman had said.
Lehman won a big victory, paid, put away his things, and smiled at Liu Jun with a somewhat triumphant look.
However, Governor Liu's face showed a slightly playful smile.
Lehman was stunned for a moment, then his face flushed.
Isn't the method he used to deal with the shopkeeper the same one that Yoo Joon used to deal with him? Clearly know where the other party's bottom line is, bite it, and never waver. No matter what Lehman tried, it didn't work at all. was in a hurry, and Governor Liu also turned around and left, and found someone else to negotiate!
Fortunately, most Europeans and Americans have a characteristic, that is, there is a clear separation between official and private affairs. At the negotiating table. The two are rivals, have nothing to do, and visit the garden together. But you don't have to bring the unhappiness of work to your daily life.
was subjected to Liu Jun's play, and Lehman soon disagreed.
At the moment, a few people wandered around the antique city, and Lehman picked up several "treasures", most of which were souvenirs from the turmoil. Governor Liu was overjoyed when he saw the hunt, and regardless of the "risk" of being fooled again, he also chose two things that he looked liked. It turned out that Lehman took the initiative to bargain with the shopkeeper, which surprised the shopkeeper. I'm not depressed!
The dignified vice governor, when buying antiques, actually asks foreigners to help identify the real and fake bargains, which is also very special. However, there is a specialization in the art industry. Lehman plays this line of work in his spare time. The level is above Governor Liu. It also makes sense.
Walking around until noon, Lehman smiled and said, "Governor Liu, it's a pleasure today, and I invite you to lunch."
Liu Jun was not polite, smiling and nodding in agreement. With the dignity of the vice governor, he was a guest all morning. Lehman should have invited him to lunch. Besides, these days, isn't it all Lehman he invited?
In Chenglongmiao Market, there are several high-grade restaurants. It's more of a flavor snack bar. Lehman made Dong for the first time and invited Yoo Joon to dinner. It's not good to be too petty, so I led the way first, took Liu Jun and others to a restaurant called "Yipinju", and introduced them to the signature dishes of this restaurant as we walked.
Liu Jun and Ke Qifan and Xue Zhangyi looked at each other "shocked". The head of a city is on his own land. It's strange that it's not as familiar as a foreigner.
When they went to the restaurant, Lehman and Liu Jun were not polite, and each ordered one or two dishes that they liked to eat. I ordered a jar of Huadiao wine and drank it. Except for Moutai, Governor Liu generally does not drink other alcohol. Moreover, the rice wine is slightly bitter in the mouth, which is not in line with the taste of Governor Liu. However, Lehman was a great admirer of flower carving. It is said that the health effect of rice wine is very good, no less than red wine, and he strongly advises Governor Liu to drink more. See, he's a guest. Governor Liu also smiled and accompanied. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
Unexpectedly, halfway through the meal, a foul smell suddenly came from the window, and the Chinese wanted to vomit.
The diners in the restaurant immediately covered their mouths and noses, and some of them were impatient, "Three Character Sutra." has blurted out, very dissatisfied.
Ke Qifan immediately stood up, poked his head out of the window to inquire about the situation, and soon walked back, and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "A sewer is blocked not far away, and the people from the municipal government are rushing to repair and dredge"
Xue Zhangyi said dissatisfiedly: "When is it not easy to dredge, but when to dredge during dinner, it's true"
Xue Cuiyi was originally a very taciturn person, but Liu Jun was eating, and he was accompanied by Lehman, an American, but when he smelled this stench, he was really disappointed, and he was as silent as Xue Cuiyi, and he couldn't help muttering a few words.
Lehman said with a smile: "You can't blame people for this, if you want to blame Governor Liu!" ”
Ke Qifan and Xue Zhangyi stared at him together, looking a little displeased. Although you are a guest. But don't be too unremarkable. Don't you want the most basic etiquette?
Lehman didn't care about Ke Qifan and Xue Zhangyi's "forced gaze." He smiled and said, "Governor Liu, as far as I know, the work efficiency of the municipal organs of Yulan City was not so efficient before. It's all the rules you set after you came, and you will reply to the complaints of the citizens within a time limit and rectify them within a time limit. So. It's normal for them to unclog the drain while they're eating. This is the fear of accountability from the city government! ”
Lehman said this with a visibly appreciative look.
The amount of time he spends in Magnolia City every year. It's not very long, only about two months, but if you count the years. But it can also be called "old magnolia." , I have a good understanding of the governance style of the previous mayors. There is also a well-founded basis for saying this.
Ke Qifan and Xue Zhangyi glanced at each other again, and there was a look of surprise in their eyes.
It is said that Lehman is an oriental expert, and he really deserves his name, and even the art of flattery is quite true.
