Chapter 147 Purple Sand Tea Set
After asking the owner of the shop, Chen Kai and Li Jingyue quickly found a shop specializing in the sale of jade and jade in the antique street.
In the end, Chen Kai spent 80,000 yuan to buy a very large piece of high-grade jade. Chen Kai has spiritual sense to directly investigate the internal quality of jade, and naturally he will not be pitted.
After buying the jade, Chen Kai and Li Jingyue walked around the antique street for a while, looking around at those antique calligraphy and paintings, etc., of course, eight or nine out of ten things in this kind of place belong to fakes.
When Chen Kai and Li Jingyue walked to a shop, Li Jingyue suddenly fell in love with a very exquisite set of purple sand teapots and teacups. After inquiry, the boss directly offered a price of 180,000 yuan, and said that this set of purple sand tea sets was an antique from the Ming Dynasty more than 500 years ago, and it was very well preserved.
When Li Jingyue heard the boss's offer, she immediately fell silent. Her weekday pocket money is only four or five thousand yuan a month, even if she adds the previous New Year's money or something, she can't come up with so much money.
But it can be seen that she really likes this purple sand tea set.
Chen Kai saw that Li Jingyue liked the tea set very much, so he stepped forward, looked at the boss with a smile, and then returned the price: "Boss, this set of tea sets looks very good, if you are willing to sell it, I will buy it for 5,000 yuan." ”
"What? Five thousand bucks!? Why don't you grab it! The boss almost jumped up and looked at Chen Kai with a lunatic-like look.
Even Li Jingyue next to her couldn't help but look at Chen Kai in astonishment, and then quietly pulled Chen Kai's clothes and signaled him to leave.
Obviously, Li Jingyue also felt that Chen Kai's price was too ruthless, and it was impossible at all. People offered 180,000 yuan, and even if they bargained, it was impossible to pay back 5,000. Not even a fraction of a fraction is enough!
However, Chen Kai reached out and patted Li Jingyue's little hand, signaling her not to worry. Then he looked at the boss and said with a smile: "Five thousand yuan should not be low for this set of tea sets." Everyone understands people, and you should make a lot of money for 5,000 yuan, right? 180,000 is just a simple fool of people who don't know how to do it. ”
Belch......
The boss looked at Chen Kai in amazement and hesitated for a moment. Only then did he lower his voice and said, "Little brother, you are too hard at this price." 50,000 yuan! You can take away this tea set. ”
Buying and selling things is basically asking for a sky-high price and paying back the money on the ground. However, it is relatively rare to be able to directly ask the other party to take the initiative to reduce the asking price of 180,000 yuan to 50,000 at once. Not even a third of what it used to be.
However, Chen Kai shook his head very decisively and said, "Fifty thousand...... If this set of tea sets is really the tea set of the Ming Dynasty more than 500 years ago. Then I'm sure I'll take this price without saying a word. But ......"
Speaking of this, Chen Kai shrugged his shoulders and said, "Boss, you are also an understanding person, so you should know what I mean." So be it, Eight Thousand! For the sake of the boss, it's not easy for you to do business, I can give you a price of 8,000. ”
Eight thousand......
The boss was a little hesitant, and to be honest, he only spent two thousand yuan to collect the tea set. Being able to sell for eight thousand is already three times the profit.
However, he was still a little reluctant to sell it at this price.
After some struggle, the boss said directly: "20,000 yuan!" No matter how low it is, I'd rather keep it in my hands. ”
Chen Kai looked at the other party for a moment, and finally nodded and responded, "Okay!" That's 20,000. Who makes my girlfriend like it? ”
As he spoke, Chen Kai glanced at Li Jingyue beside him. Shrugged.
Chen Kai can also see that the price of 20,000 yuan should be almost the reserve price that the other party can accept, even if he continues to grind, it is estimated that he will be able to reduce it by another three or two thousand yuan at most, so Chen Kai is too lazy to grind slowly with the other party.
Happily swiped the card to pay, Chen Kai asked the boss to use a good wooden box to pack the tea set, and then handed the bag to Li Jingyue next to him, "Come, Jingyue, give!" ”
After Li Jingyue took it, a very happy smile appeared on her face. "Chen Kai, thank you!" After speaking, Li Jingyue affectionately hugged Chen Kai's arm.
At this time, the boss looked at Chen Kai, but said with some pain: "Little brother, you are also powerful enough." My tea set was originally planned to be sold for less than 50,000 yuan. I didn't expect to meet you today, little brother, an expert! ”
Chen Kai smiled slightly. Said: "What kind of expert am I?" It's just that I was more interested in these things in the past and had some understanding. Moreover, thank you to the boss for being willing to cut love! ”
"Okay, boss, then we'll go first, business is booming......"
"Well, I'll take your good word. The two of you also walk slowly! ”
After leaving the shop, Li Jingyue finally couldn't help but ask: "Chen Kai, listen to what you meant by talking to that boss just now, this set of tea sets is not an antique from the Ming Dynasty?" Could it be a fake? ”
Chen Kai turned his head to look at Li Jingyue beside him, and replied, "It's not a fake." It's just that this set of tea sets is not from the Ming Dynasty, and the age of those four teacups is no more than three hundred years at most, and it should be something fired at the end of the Qing Dynasty......"
"Huh? Are they worth 20,000 dollars? When you bid 5,000 before, you said that the boss made a lot of money, so wouldn't it be a loss for us to buy this tea set? Li Jingyue suddenly collapsed. Although she likes this tea set very much, she is still a little uncomfortable when she thinks of suffering a big loss.
"Hehe......" Chen Kai smiled, couldn't help but reach out and pinch Li Jingyue's nose, and said, "No loss!" How can we lose? ”
"In my estimation, when the boss received this set of tea sets, he must have collected them according to the utensils of the late Qing Dynasty, and it was only three or four thousand yuan at most."
"Then why do you still say that we didn't lose anything? It's only three or four thousand, but you spent 20,000 to buy it, which is a difference of nearly ten times! Li Jingyue said.
Chen Kai explained with a smile: "Who said that this set of tea sets is only three or four thousand things." I'm just saying that the price of the boss to collect this tea set is likely to be around three or four thousand. However, this tea set, more precisely, the teapot is worth much more than that, and even much higher than what I offered! ”
"Huh?" Li Jingyue was stunned and hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?" ”
Chen Kai patiently explained: "It's very simple, in fact, this set of tea sets itself is not a set. At least that teapot wasn't originally a match with the other four teacups. I guess those four teacups should have been fired in the late Qing Dynasty specifically to match the teapot. ”
"In fact, the age of that teapot should be about a hundred years ago. That is, things from the Song and Yuan dynasties, which are a little earlier than the Ming Dynasty that the boss casually made up......"
"Ah, really?" Li Jingyue looked at Chen Kai in surprise.
Chen Kai smiled and nodded, "Well, of course it's true." The reason why the boss didn't see this was because someone had made some simple disguises on the purple sand teapot, and they would generally make a mistake if they weren't careful. ”
"Moreover, I guess the boss was somewhat misled by the four teacups, thinking that the teapot and the teacup were originally a complete set, since the teacup is a thing in the late Qing Dynasty, then the teapot is naturally also a thing in the late Qing Dynasty. That's why it's cheaper for us! ”
"Haha, yes, yes! In this way, we have taken a big advantage! Li Jingyue was very happy to take advantage of such a big advantage, with an excited expression on her face.
Chen Kai smiled and said, "It's a big advantage, although I'm not sure how much that teapot can be worth, but I think it shouldn't be less than one or two hundred thousand." Those four teacups are really not worth much, but after all, there are two or three hundred years of things, and a few thousand dollars are still worth it. ”
"Moreover, the style and material of those teacups are completely similar to those teapots, and they are just right to match with the teapot."
"Uh-huh!" Li Jingyue nodded again and again, and said, "Anyway, I am going to give this teapot to my grandfather, I believe that grandpa will like it very much!" ”
Chen Kai suddenly realized, no wonder Li Jingyue liked this teapot so much just now, it turned out that it was going to be given to her grandfather.
"I said, I was a little strange why you suddenly wanted to buy a tea set. I didn't usually hear you say that you like tea, so it was given to your grandfather. ”
Chen Kaidao.
Li Jingyue nodded, "It's almost the end of the semester, it's not long before the Chinese New Year, and my grandfather has loved me since he was a child, so I thought about buying him a gift for the New Year." ”
"Oh." Chen Kai nodded.
"Shall we go to the park now?" Li Jingyue suddenly asked.
Chen Kai nodded, "Okay!" Let's go. After speaking, he looked at the tea set in Li Jingyue's hand, and said, "Give me the things, I'll take them." ”
Li Jingyue naturally wouldn't be polite to Chen Kai, and responded with a sweet smile: "Hmm! Give~" said and handed the bag in his hand to Chen Kai.
After Chen Kai took the bag, she affectionately grabbed Chen Kai's arm and walked side by side with Chen Kai to a nearby park.
Because it was still afternoon, there was a sun, and although the temperature was not high, it didn't feel very cold. And basking in the sun, taking a walk in the park, I feel very warm.
Although it was a weekend, there were not many pedestrians in the park, and it was quite quiet. Chen Kai and Li Jingyue are also enjoying the warmth and tranquility in this quiet.
The two of them walked around, and they didn't have to talk about anything, what to say, they held each other's hands, they could feel each other's sustenance, and they could experience each other's minds, and there was a sweet and warm feeling in the peace......
After a walk in the park, the two found another place to sit and bask in the sun. After staying for nearly an hour, Li Jingyue mentioned that she wanted to go shopping.
So, the two left the park and went to the pedestrian street in the city center. There are a lot of people in the pedestrian street, but it's not as deserted as in the park.
There are a lot of people, and there is a special atmosphere when you go shopping. If it's very deserted, there probably won't be much desire/hope for shopping......
