297. Comparison
The boss walked out the door and into the upper room, and in a few moments came out with four scrolls in his hand, and opened them on the long table in the reception room.
Mei Lan also leaned over, it was four rolls of cursive script, less than three feet long and less than two feet wide, and as for the words on it, at least half of them were unknown to Mei Lan. But Mei Lan knew that these four rolls of banners were used to make screens, and she could just buy them and place them on the side of the courtyard.
"This is a banner for a screen, right?" Zhao Jian is not ignorant of goods.
If this is placed in his office with a Nanmu four-open screen, it will definitely enhance the grade and taste of his office. But the question is, can something like this be real?
"How much?" Ye Nan asked.
The boss stretched out a slap, "This is what a friend of mine put on my consignment, the reserve price is this number, if you want it, please look at it and reward me with some tea." ”
Zhao Jian saw that the other party stretched out a slap, but he also guessed that it was five million, and if the four banners were real, it would be impossible to sell them for 500,000, of course, if they were fake, they would be afraid that 50,000 would not be worth it.
But the problem is that five million is not a decimal number, and no matter how rich Zhao Jian is, it is impossible for him to spend five million to buy something that he cannot determine the value of.
"Why don't you send it to auction?" Zhao Jian asked.
Generally speaking, most of the people who have this kind of goods at home and want to sell them will be sent to a famous auction house, and if they really want to value five million, they can sell at least seven or eight million at the auction house, right?
"Where is it so easy? The process of sending it to the auction company is very troublesome, and my friend is in urgent need of money, and I also met a few serious buyers, so I rashly asked. It doesn't matter if you are not interested, let's make a friend. The boss saw that Zhao Jian didn't have the mind he wanted, and looked at Cai Ganlin.
"Neither do we." Cai Ganlin said.
Fang Zhe wanted to, but she didn't dare to be sure of the authenticity of this thing, and there was another point, she didn't dare to take out such a large sum of money to buy things in front of Zhao Jian and the old lady, which would definitely bring trouble to Mei Lan.
The boss saw that several people did not mean to buy, but he was not reluctant, and sent a business card to one of them, saying that he needed to come over again, and his goods here were the most complete on this street.
"There are real and fake, there are real and fake prices, I Lao Sha has been on this street for more than 30 years, I don't believe you can inquire about it."
Zhao Jian became interested when he heard this, "What other good things do you have?" Take it out and we open our eyes. ”
"True or fake?" The boss asked.
"Nature is true. By the way, I heard that the seals have been hot in the past few years, so I'll take a few seals. Zhao Jian said.
The boss listened and took the four scrolls out, and when he came in again, he was holding five or six small boxes, and Mei Lan got up to help pick them up.
These boxes are placed on the long table, the boss personally opened each box and introduced the material and texture of these seals and the price, there are Ming Huangshi, Tian Huangshi, bloodstone, mutton fat jade, etc., the price is more than 100,000 yuan, the most expensive one is called Tian Huangshi, to 1.5 million.
"Little Er, you know how to do it, can you buy these seals?" Zhao Jian asked.
Cai Ganlin had already held a seal in his hand to observe, and when he heard this, he didn't raise his eyelids and said: "Everything is the real thing, and you can figure out the price yourself." ”
"Didn't I ask you if I didn't think about it?" Zhao Jian said with a smile.
"Do you want it?" Cai Ganlin asked Zhao Jian.
"What, you have a picture?" Zhao Jian raised his eyebrows.
Cai Ganlin looked at Cai Qingruo, "Dad, do you have anything you like?" I'll send you. ”
"I like this mutton fat jade, and the price is moderate, boss, is this a few lines?" Cai Qingruo clenched his fist and glanced at the other party.
The boss hesitated for a moment and nodded, he asked for 150,000 yuan for this seal, and Cai Qingruo gave 100,000 yuan, although this price was not very ideal for him, but Cai Ganlin had already bought 300,000 goods from him, and such a buyer was simply done.
Cai Ganlin was about to take out his card to pay the bill when Cai Qingruo stopped him and said that he would come by himself.
"Dad, I'll send you if you say yes." Cai Ganlin rarely goes home, and he can't do it, but he can still buy some gifts for his parents and grandmother.
"Then I'll have one, too." When Zhao Jian saw it, he also wanted to buy one and give it back to his father.
After picking out the seal, a few people came out of the shop, and the old lady said that she wanted to go home, after all, she was an old man in her eighties, and her legs and feet were a little tired after turning for half a day.
"Grandma, if you want to eat, I'll invite you to eat out in the evening." Cai Ganlin said.
"Eat outside, if you really want to accompany me, go home and eat." The old lady has never liked to eat out much.
She came from the war years and difficult times, and she was not picky about eating for many years, and she also liked to eat coarse grains, and she had never seen most of the things she had eaten in restaurants outside, and she generally did not have the courage to taste and accept things that she had not seen.
So, she rarely goes out to eat.
"Mom, it's rare for Gan Lin to have a treat, let's go out for a meal, just now we ate at a time-honored restaurant in the small alley over there, I was telling the children how many years I haven't been in a restaurant like this, let's accompany my mother to the next restaurant today." Cai Qingruo said.
Cai Qingruo's words evoked the memory of the old lady, after the conditions of their family were a little better in the late seventies, Cai Ganlin's grandfather would often take them to the next restaurant, at that time they had just returned from the northeast, Cai Ganlin's grandfather had not yet recovered his real power, but the salary was there, so he often had time to take his family out, and then after resuming his work and having a position, he was very busy, and the children were also older, and they were busy with their own.
"Okay. Let my grandson have a treat today, and go back to the restaurant next time. The old lady nodded.
Because it was still early before dinner, a few people went to two more shops, but they didn't buy anything.
This time, Cai Ganlin took everyone into an old Beijing restaurant, which just came from Baidu on the mobile phone, and it is said that the Beijing cuisine of this restaurant is authentic and delicious, and it is not expensive, and it is very popular.
Mei Lan and his entourage entered the hotel before five o'clock, this kind of hotel is very civilian, there is not even a private room, others are fine, but Ye Nan is not very adaptable, slightly twisted his brows, a little unhappy.
Listening to the dishes ordered by Cai Ganlin again, whether it was a sauce fried tripe or an enema or a variety of boiled water, Ye Nan's face became even more ugly.
She has been pampered since she was a child, never ate pig intestines and anything like that, and after she went to the United States at the age of eighteen, she was even more grateful to these various animals who couldn't get on the table.
"Nan Nan, you taste it, it's delicious." The old lady is just the opposite, she likes to eat these things, but when she gets older, the problem of the three highs will follow, and the family will begin to restrain her, and the Cai family has not seen these things on the table for many years.
"Grandma, you can't eat more." Cai Ganlin instructed.
"Got it." The old lady said as she habitually put something into Zhao Lianye's bowl.
"Grandma, you eat it yourself, you don't have to worry about the child, even Ye will eat it by himself a long time ago, and he doesn't eat these things." Ye Nan said as he took out the things that the old lady had put in the child's bowl and threw them on the table.
The old lady glanced at Ye Nan in surprise, but she didn't say anything, she lowered her head and ate herself.
"Grandma, the braised fried tofu and meatball soup here are good." Cai Ganlin saw that he sandwiched a few pieces of tofu for the old lady, and by the way, he served a bowl of meatball soup for the old lady.
The old lady saw that Cai Ganlin was taking care of him when he ate, but he still remembered to take care of the old lady to eat, it seems that this grandson does not have her in his heart, but why doesn't this child go home?
The old lady compared the advantages and disadvantages of Mei Lan and Ye Nan while eating. Actually, if you really want to talk about it, she should get along with someone like Mei Lan, because Ye Nan is a real Miss Jiao, but she is perfunctory in front of Zhao Jian, and she looks down on a rural old lady like her in her bones.
But Mei Lan is different, Mei Lan grew up in the countryside, I heard that she is very filial to the old people in the family, and she also knows that she took her grandmother to Beijing for surgery, and she usually takes good care of Cai Ganlin, after Cai Ganlin married her, she didn't have to worry about making money, she was busy with work, and she was a department-level cadre for only two years, and she didn't drag Cai Ganlin back
If she got along with Mei Lan at the beginning, maybe Cai Ganlin wouldn't have gone home, and Mei Lan could be filial to her, which would have been a great thing, why didn't she understand it in the first place?
But now if the old lady wants to put down the shelf and talk to Mei Lan, the old lady can't do it, how to say that she is also an old man in her eighties.
"Ganlin, where do you live now?" The old lady asked.
She hasn't been to this grandson's house once.
"Little Er, grandma means that I want to go to your house after eating." Zhao Jian said.
He seemed to hear that Cai Ganlin lived in Mei Lan's house, and he was really a little curious, what kind of house could Mei Lan afford?
"By the way, Mei Lan, I heard that you bought the place where you live, why didn't you look for me when you bought the house?" Zhao Jian asked tentatively.
"Brother Jian, I didn't know you when I bought the house." Merlin didn't want to deal with him.
"Xiao Er, this is your mistake, if you don't tell me about such a big thing as buying a house, even if you don't match the house in my hand, I will pass a word to other developers, how can you get a discount of ten points, enough for how many years of work you have?" Zhao Jian said.
"Virtue, the second brother of the family doesn't work on the salary, have you ever seen anyone who can afford to wear a Hermes leather trench coat when he goes to work and points to the salary? Isn't this dress going to give you a 10-point discount? Anyway, you've never worn such expensive clothes, have you? Ye Nan smiled and glanced at her husband.
I was suppressed by Cai Ganlin for a long time when I was shopping in the shop just now, and I came to such a poor and sour place for dinner, but I was very generous to myself but so harsh on others, so Ye Nan couldn't help but speak. R1152
