Chapter 457: A Blessing in Disguise (3)
Chu Chen was also happy when he heard the price offered by the old man, originally he wanted to lower the price, but thinking that this Uncle Lu had a better heart, he was ready to pay it back.
Of course, if you really want to talk about it, Chu Chen has also missed the 50,000 yuan. It's just that people are so strange, if Chu Chen really agrees to come down in one bite, the other party is likely to feel that he has suffered a loss, and it may not be possible to increase the price, this kind of thing has happened a lot to him in his previous hawker career.
So he smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, your price is too high, how can a cup alone be five times higher than the price just now!" That's it, I really want this pair of cups, and I won't let you suffer, count it as twenty thousand, right, what do you think? ”
Uncle Lu shook his head directly and said: "20,000 is too little, my father said that this pair of cups was a rare thing, if it weren't for my daughter giving birth to a nephew, I am afraid that the child will be naughty and break things, I will definitely not take it out, but you also bought three cups in front, I will be cheaper, 40,000 pairs!" ”
When Chu Chen heard him say this, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, when I asked you just now, you thought about it for a while before you remembered this pair of cups, it must be because the shape of this cup is inconvenient for hospitality, so you just put it in which corner, if we didn't ask today, you don't know when you will think of this pair of cups again!
Therefore, generally some business-minded people, as long as they encounter things related to their own interests, will always come up with various reasons to make the advantage of the situation more inclined to their own.
Chu Chen said with a sad face: "Uncle, to be honest, we are just making a small fuss. You've got to make us some money, and that's twenty-five thousand for this pair of cups. Okay? ”
Uncle Lu frowned, just about to say something. Chu Chen's mobile phone rang, so Chu Chen could only apologize to him and walked to the side to pick up the phone.
The call was from the person sent by Du Hou to pick them up, saying that he had arrived at Qian Cheng's car and asked when they would come back.
After Chu Chen expressed his gratitude, he said that they would go over immediately and asked the driver to wait there for a while. ……
After hanging up the phone, Chu Chen walked back to his place and found that Uncle Wu had already negotiated the price with the old man. The other party quoted 36,000, and he refused to be cheaper at all. Thinking that he had already picked up a big leak anyway, Chu Chen nodded in agreement.
After the transaction was completed, Chu Chen asked the old man for a box and some newspapers, and after carefully packing the things, the three of them said goodbye to the old man.
On the way back, Uncle Wu opened his mouth and said, "Xiaochen, do you know that you made a mistake just now?" ”
"What's wrong?" Chu Chen thought about it for a long time and didn't expect that he had made any mistakes, so he asked with a puzzled expression.
Uncle Wu shook his head and said, "You." I've been in business for almost five years, and I'm still so careless about the details, why did you just slap the money on the table? That's not an unmistakable sue to the other party, you're not bad for money! ”
Listen to what Uncle Wu said. Chu Chen was stunned for a moment, he was really a little careless just now, this is not a big business. Proof of property is required, whether it's a hawker or something like this one. The most taboo is to show Xiàn's wealth, so it is easy to give people the impression that I am not bad for money. Then if others don't kill you, who will you slaughter!
It's no wonder that the old man would charge such a high price, and he would not lose much money.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen apologized to Uncle Wu very sincerely: "Uncle Wu, I'm really sorry, I will definitely pay attention to this aspect next time!" ”
Uncle Wu waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't be so strict, experience, it's all gained bit by bit, as long as you keep today's things in mind in the future, don't make such a mistake next time!" ……”
The three of them walked to the place where the car accident occurred, and sure enough, a commercial car had stopped there, and there was also an old man in his seventies and eighties standing next to the car, who was chatting with Qian Cheng at this time.
"You're Du Lao, right? Why did you come here too? Chu Chen hurriedly walked over and shook hands with the other party.
Du Hou shook hands with the three of them and said, "I don't have anything to do over there, just come over and take a look, otherwise I'm really not at ease." ”
"You're being honestly so polite!" As he spoke, Chu Chen introduced Uncle Wu and Hu Yong to him.
At this time, Qian Cheng asked a little strangely: "Hey, Xiao Chu, I remember that when you went over just now, your hands were empty, right?" How can I ask the old man for a glass of water, and there are more things? ”
Chu Chen smiled and said, "We really just wanted to drink saliva, but we didn't expect to have an accident, and in the end, there were a few more things!" ”
"Accidents? What accident? Qian Cheng asked with a puzzled expression.
Or Du Hou reacted quickly and said the answer directly: "It can't be a bowl or a teacup, right?" ”
"How do you know?" This time, Chu Chen was a little dumbfounded.
Du Hou laughed and said: "It's very simple, I usually go to the countryside to collect some antiques, although this situation is not much, but I have encountered it several times, but this situation is more common in the eighties and nineties of the last century, and now it is really rare especially around the porcelain capital." ”
Because of the atmosphere of the porcelain capital, the favorite of the porcelain people is porcelain, and the collection of antiques is generally based on porcelain.
Like this time, Chu Chen's probability of receiving five treasures is like winning five million in a lottery ticket, which makes Chu Chen feel a little incredible when he thinks about it now.
Du Hou smiled and said, "What good things have you all encountered this time?" Think about it, with Xiao Chu's eyes, what you received shouldn't be bad, right? ”
Chu Chen said modestly: "I'm just making a fuss now, even if it's an ordinary object, I have to accept it, right?" But this time I was lucky, and I really received a few fine pieces. ”
With that, he put the box on the car, and then opened it.
Du Hou and Qian Cheng were immediately dumbfounded when they saw the appearance of the six cups in the box, and after half a ring, after obtaining Chu Chen's consent, Du Hou couldn't wait and carefully took out the cups in the box, carefully observed and appreciated. ……
After a long while, Du Houcai was reluctant to put the last Sanskrit cup from the Yongzheng period back into the box, and then sighed to Chu Chen with some incredulity:
"Don't say anything about the leaks, and they are all high-quality products, those two blue and white fair cups in the Xuande period are even more rare treasures, Xiao Chu, I don't know how to say your luck!"
Chu Chen smiled, scratched his head and said: "As the old saying goes, if you don't die in a big disaster, there will be a blessing in the future, this may be considered a blessing in disguise!" ”
Du Hou nodded, and agreed with Chu Chen's words, this kind of blessing in disguise, he has also encountered it, like the eighty-first year, when he first came back from the countryside to collect things, there were no cars or cars at that time, and bicycles were already a very good means of travel.
That time, because of the late home, the sky was already a little dark halfway through the ride, but I don't know who it was, dug a pit on the side of the road, and put the dirt on the road, but he didn't pay attention, so he hit it, and the whole person fell out, he was already in his fifties at the time, and he almost didn't break the old bones.
And what's even more dangerous is that there is a very sharp porcelain piece in front of him, if he goes forward for a minute, his head will break and bleed, and at worst, he may whine.
But at that time, I didn't know if it was Fu Lingxinzhi or what, he suddenly felt that the piece of porcelain in front of him at that time was a good thing, took it out to remove the sludge on it, and finally after careful identification, it was exactly the same as the characteristics of the Ru kiln porcelain in the Northern Song Dynasty.
This made him both surprised and excited, and quickly began to look for it in the surrounding area, but in the pile of soil, he found a few more porcelain pieces, and together, it happened to be a three-legged wash of the shadow blue glaze of Ru kiln, which really made him happy, if it wasn't for the fact that it was too dark to see things clearly, he would definitely continue to look for it.
It is precisely because of this experience that Du Hou began to like to go to the countryside to collect antiques, and because he played collecting early, his current collection is very rich.
To get back to the point, Du Hou was very enthusiastic about Chu Chen's harvest this time, and he liked the two fair cups even more, so he asked Chu Chen: "Xiao Chu, I don't know if you have any plans to make a move on these cups?" ”
"This ......" In terms of what he thought in his heart, Chu Chen didn't want to sell these cups for the time being, but Du Hou was introduced by the master after all, and it would not be good if he refused in one bite, which made him hesitate immediately.
Du Hou saw Chu Chen's thoughts at a glance, so he said: "Xiao Chu, I mean so, let's barter, when the things are done in the past few days, I invite you to my house as a guest, how about it, let's talk about it then, what do you think?" ”
This mention is indeed more appropriate, and I like these things very much, but when I meet someone I like more, it doesn't hurt to exchange it, so Chu Chen agreed.
Du Hou was very happy to see Chu Chen's promise, and then, Qian Cheng could only stay here because he still had to deal with the car, and after Chu Chen and Qian Cheng said hello, they got into the business car and went to the kiln factory that Du Hou said.
There, the other two masters that Uncle Wu said were already waiting for them there, one was Qian Cheng's grandfather Qian Lao, and the other master was surnamed Li.
Because Chu Chen and the others had three people, Qian Lao and Li Lao came over in another car, which happened to be the case, otherwise it would be troublesome, because Qian Lao had a heart attack, if he was sitting in the car, he was so frightened just now, even if he was not hit by the truck, he was likely to be scared of a heart attack.
Next, after some mutual introductions, everyone began to visit the kiln factory with the staff. …… (To be continued......)
