Chapter 033: He Could Be a Ruthless Character!
"Brother Bai, you have good eyesight! This is the blue and white elephant ear vase of the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, produced in Jingdezhen, you see this shape, this glaze, and this ornament, all exquisite! "Boss Xiao, Mrs. Wang, sells melons - she sells herself and boasts.
Bai Wenchao asked bluntly: "Boss Xiao, just say it directly, how much does this porcelain cost?" โ
Boss Xiao pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Brother Bai, it can be seen that you are very sincere in buying this porcelain, since this is the case, then I will give you the best price, not more, you just give me 80,000." โ
As soon as he opened this price, Bai Wenchao shook his head and refused, and said, "Boss Xiao, do you think this is porcelain from the official kiln in Jingdezhen?" Typical folk kiln products, the price you want is too high, right? โ
Boss Xiao shook his head and replied seriously: "But Brother Bai, you have to see clearly, what is the quality of this porcelain, everyone can see it, whether it is an official kiln or a private kiln, as long as the quality of the things is in place, it is a fine product!" Eighty thousand actually didn't earn you at all, like this quality of Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain, if you send it to the auction house, at least you can auction it at a better price than this, twenty or thirty is very possible. โ
Bai Wenchao said disappreciatively: "It's not so easy, the general collectors of porcelain in the folk kiln are not very interested, and they are too lazy to bid." Boss Xiao, you should hurry up and give a real price, I am also your old customer, don't you give any discounts? Really, the price is set so high! โ
"Oops, hey!" Boss Xiao sighed exaggeratedly, and said matter-of-factly, "Brother Bai, you won't like to hear this!" I'm just giving you a discount to open this price, 80,000 really doesn't make you a lot, when I collect it, it's about the same price, how can I make some money from it? It's not easy to do a small business these days! โ
His three-inch incorruptible tongue is really able to speak and argue, as if he is unwilling to reduce the price.
At this moment, the two men were standing next to them whispering something, although they couldn't hear what they were saying, but they could imagine that they must be talking bad about Yi Yang behind their backs.
Bai Wenchao obviously didn't like the jokes of the two of them, for fear that others would look at him, so he nodded impatiently, waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, 80,000 is 80,000, and I don't lack this money!" โ
The shot was very generous, but at this moment, Yi Yang suddenly gently pulled his arm and said calmly: "Brother Bai, don't worry, let's talk about the price." Boss Xiao, please take a step to speak. โ
Before Boss Xiao could react, he stepped forward and pulled the other party aside, and then the two discussed fiercely there, but their voices were relatively low, and it was difficult to hear what they were talking about.
Seeing this, not only Bai Wen was taken aback, but even the two men standing on the side looked at each other, feeling inexplicable.
After a while, Yi Yang and Boss Xiao walked back reflexively.
"Brother Bai, I have already agreed with Boss Xiao that we can take down the elephant ear bottle for 30,000 yuan." When he approached, Yi Yang said to Bai Wenchao with a smile.
"Huh?!" Bai Wenchao was shocked again, at the same time, the old and the young were all stunned, this was an incredible thing in their eyes, just now, Boss Xiao had a tendency not to sell at a high price of 80,000, who knew that in a blink of an eye, the price dropped from 80,000 to 30,000, a full loss of 50,000, although 50,000 yuan is not a large amount, but in the eyes of a businessman like Boss Xiao, it should not be underestimated, it is really strange, he actually gave up 50,000 yuan.
Suddenly, the two men were full of doubts, wondering what Yi Yang had said to Boss Xiao just now, and how they had made each other's attitudes change so much.
"Boss Xiao, thirty thousand, right?" After settling down, Bai Wenchao asked suspiciously.
"Well, okay, let's pay the money!" Boss Xiao nodded helplessly and said, "I have served the two of you today!" โ
"Well said!" Hearing this, Bai Wenchao was surprised and delighted, and then took out the 20,000 yuan that had been prepared from his bag, and handed it to Boss Xiao to let the other party count it.
After Boss Xiao counted it carefully, he nodded when he saw that the amount was fine: "You can take that porcelain!" โ
After speaking, he glanced Yi Yang up and down with a very strange gaze, with a faint look of awe in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.
"Thank you, Boss Xiao!" After getting the blue and white elephant ear vase smoothly, Bai Wenchao thanked him, and then left the "Ancient Porcelain Xuan" with Yi Yang unhurriedly.
The two men stared at Yi Yang's back as he walked away in a daze, and when their figures disappeared at the door, the young man couldn't help but ask, "Boss Xiao, what happened to you just now?" Such a good piece of porcelain, you will sell it to Bai Wenchao's kid for 30,000 yuan?! What the hell did his accomplice tell you, and you changed your mind all at once! โ
Boss Xiao shook his head vigorously and said, "Don't say it!" It's all promised, everything is sold, what else is there to say?! โ
He was obviously hiding something, and perhaps there was some secret in it that could not be known.
Listening to Boss Xiao's words, those two men, you look at me and look at you, they are both second monks and puzzled.
"What a strange young man! Is your eyesight so good?! โ
Rushing to the door, Boss Xiao shook his head and muttered, and then he turned around and went to do something else.
It wasn't long before the two men walked out of the antique shop with the porcelain they had already traded.
"Brother Dao, what did you say that kid just said to Boss Xiao?! Why was Boss Xiao stunned by him all of a sudden, and he didn't dare to let a fart go! โ
After walking out of the "Ancient Porcelain Xuan", the young man still couldn't believe what had just happened, so he asked the old man who seemed to be experienced next to him.
"I don't know." The old man shook his head and said in a deep voice, "This is indeed very strange. Could it be that the kid has good eyesight, and he sees that the problem with that piece of porcelain is coming?! โ
"Probably not, right?!" The man hurriedly shook his head and denied, "At first glance, I know that he is that kind of mallet, how can he look so carefully, if you didn't see the problem with that elephant ear bottle, and then sue me, then I wouldn't be aware of it now, just by him, how could it be?!" โ
"Not necessarily!" The old man shook his head disapprovingly and said, "As the saying goes, 'people can't look good, and the sea can't fight', maybe he is a ruthless character at a young age, like that kind of person, does Boss Xiao dare to offend?!" โ
"Wouldn't it?!" Hearing the old man say that, the man couldn't help but gasp, and said uneasily, "Brother Dao, I'm going to go to 'Gu Bao Zhai', even if that kid sees that he is famous, I have to frustrate their sharpness, I can't let Bai Wenchao's kid be so sรจ!" โ
With that, he quickened his pace and followed Yi Yang and them.
โฆโฆ
"Brother Yi, what did you say to Boss Xiao just now? Why did the price drop so much all at once? โ
At this side, Bai Wen asked puzzledly, according to his understanding of Boss Xiao, the other party is a dime a dime, and it is difficult for him to compromise in terms of price, not to mention that it has dropped by as much as 50,000 yuan in a blink of an eye, which is almost impossible, but it is true, he really only paid 30,000 yuan for that blue and white elephant ear vase.
"Hehe, I didn't say anything, so I cut the price with him." Yi Yang said with a smile.
"Wouldn't it?!" Bai Wenchao was surprised, "Boss Xiao is not good at bargaining, otherwise why didn't I continue to talk to him just now?" Brother Yi, you are so good at bargaining?! Can't believe it! You must have said something crucial to him, and then convinced him! โ
"No, I don't." Yi Yang shook his head and replied casually, and soon he diverted the topic and asked about Bai Wenchao's related matters, and only said, "Brother Bai, who are the two people who collected things together in Boss Xiao's store just now?" You should know each other, right? โ
"Of course I do, but I'd rather not know them!" As soon as he mentioned those two people, Bai Wenchao said angrily, "That young man's name is Zhao Bin, I seem to have mentioned him to you before." โ
"Is there one?" Yi Yang wondered.
"Yes!" Bai Wenchao nodded solemnly and said, "You must still remember the remnant of the blue and white jue cup that you came to our 'Gu Bao Zhai' yesterday to collect, right?" That piece of porcelain was broken by that guy! He used to work in our antique shop, he was a big stick, his eyesight was very poor, he couldn't do things, he was always hairy, we couldn't take him, but he was not small, his grandfather was' Gu Bao Zhai's shopkeeper Mu Lao, Mu Lao at the beginning of the arrangement of him in the antique shop to work, want to exercise him, but he is not serious at all, people and arrogant, since the destruction of the blue and white porcelain worth more than 600,000 yuan, Mu Lao transferred him away, now in another antique shop to work, just now with him the old man is an appraiser in the store, all call him 'Brother Dao', people have two times, but it is a strange character, I can't see others do better than them! That's why Uncle Hao and I rarely interact with people from their antique shop. โ
He talked about the situation of the young man one by one, and after listening to it, Yi Yang suddenly realized, he finally understood what was going on, it turned out that the man was the "culprit" who broke the Sanjue Cup, Bai Wenchao They had a lot of resentment against him because of this, but the other party indirectly helped Yi Yang a lot, if the porcelain was not broken, then he would not be able to pick up this big leak, think about Yi Yang has to thank that guy.
"Oh, it's him, I see!" Yi Yang nodded hurriedly and said, "Brother Bai, I can see that his resentment towards you seems to be very deep!" You've had festivals before, haven't you? โ
Bai Wenchao sneered and said: "Who is used to his kind of guy who is arrogant all day long and thinks he is superior?!" I didn't even bother to fight with him, if it weren't for Mu Lao's face, I would have repaired him a long time ago! What a fucking shame! โ
He scolded Zhao Bin angrily, and Yi Yang smiled and comforted: "Brother Bai, you can't be angry with that kind of person, it is estimated that he is jealous of you, because he was expelled, and you are still doing well in 'Gu Bao Zhai'." โ
"Well, don't talk about him, he will be angry when he talks about it!" Bai Wenchao nodded and said, "Brother Yi, thank you for helping me palm, let me receive such a good thing, and the price is so low." โ
Yi Yang shook his head and said: "You're welcome, it's just a gesture, in fact, I don't know what the specific situation of this porcelain is, whether it's worth spending 30,000 yuan." โ
"It should be worth it!" Bai Wenchao said confidently, "Brother Yi, do you have time now?" Why don't you go and have fun with us? At this time, Uncle Hao was in the store, and he just asked him to help with his eyes, so that he could be sure. I'll have to treat you to a meal when I get back, and I hope you will enjoy your face. โ
Yi Yang said: "Please don't want to eat, it's a small matter, you did me a big favor just now!" But I also want to go to your store and learn from Uncle Hao. โ
The pawnshop must be very free in the afternoon, so he doesn't have to rush back, it is a very meaningful thing to go to "Gu Bao Zhai" to strengthen his study, what he needs most now is this, now he and Bai Wenchao are also more familiar, there should be many opportunities to learn in the future.
