Chapter 70: Shopping
Jiang Liang asked this discriminator to take a hand, and this discriminator was naturally full of willingness, and he had already regarded the two of them as the God of Wealth, so this little thing was naturally not a problem.
Then, as the painting opened, he was also blinded when he identified it, and when he opened the side of the painting from the beginning, he knew who the author of the painting was.
Zhang Dongyang, who was famous in the Northern Dynasty, then gently opened the painting and put it on the table for fear of sticking the painting to a little unclean.
The length of this table is just long enough, and when you see this painting, you can't help but shake your head: "Good thing, good thing, there is something I still have to say, I hope you will forgive your sins."
Jiang Liang said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"If this painting is genuine, it is no longer in the scope of identification, not that it cannot be identified, but the degree of this price is no longer in the lower can be the master, so I have to invite others to come over, so I hope that the two will forgive the sin."
In fact, when he heard this, Mo Yu was even more embarrassed, originally because he let this guy earn a little money, so he still had a little confidence when he asked him to identify the most valuable calligraphy and painting, but now he suddenly wants to change someone, and he seems to be a little sorry for the next person.
But Mo Yu can't say that I don't sell this painting, you just have to look at it.
Therefore, Mo Yu had no choice but to bite the bullet and let this Jiang Liang agree.
Then this person slowly withdrew, holding those calligraphy and paintings, he was ready to exchange some money for Mo Yu and Jiang Liang, of course, he should do this thing first, only after this thing is done, the money can be earned in his own hands, of course, there is still the problem of selling, but since these things have been in hand, it is absolutely impossible to smash them in his hands.
Then Jiang Liang saw Mo Yu's thoughts, and said to Mo Yu gently: "The city lord doesn't have to feel guilty, the people who have these calligraphy and paintings must also understand those discriminators, even if they don't sell them, it will never hurt them to make friends, and they will definitely not hate it because of this, so there is no need to feel guilty about being sufficient."
Although Mo Yu still had a trace of embarrassment in his heart, after Jiang Liang's enlightenment, his heart was much more comfortable, and the guilt was also a hint of dilution.
It didn't take long to hear a rush of footsteps outside, and when the footsteps stopped, then a few soft knocks were heard at the door, the rhythm was gentle, in stark contrast to the previous footsteps.
Mo Yu and Jiang Liang naturally knew who this person was.
So he said softly, "Come in."
It was a more elderly person who came in, perhaps because it had been identified for a long time and the level had been raised, so it was able to identify such a thing, so it was said that he was a little older.
But the old man was not pretentious at all, and after entering the door, he bowed first: "You two are disturbed, can you allow you to come in and sit down for a while?"
Jiang Liang and Mo Yu also quickly stood up, and replied, Jiang Liang replied, "Master don't have to be polite, come in and take a seat."
Then the man came in gently, and although he was old, his steps did not tremble, and he was quite steady, and he was not much different from a young man.
Then this discriminator sat down, different from the other discriminators, to be precise, slightly different from the discriminator just now, this person did not talk about business when he came up, but first made a self-introduction: "In the next fascination, the name is said to be nothing."
However, this discriminator did not name Mo Yu and Jiang Liang, which is quite sincere.
"Hello Master Fan." Jiang Liang also said quite respectfully.
"After listening to the colleagues just now, the two are distinguished guests, so I hope not to blame the first thing, it is really the reception of the people's eyes are cloudy, and they don't know the dignity of the two, so they rashly put the two with the words of the most inferior reception room, which is indeed the sin of the store."
In fact, Mo Yu didn't want to say these polite words, but he couldn't help himself because of officialdom, and some polite words still had to be said more or less.
Today, Jiang Liang happened to be his shield, so he only needed to let Jiang Liang answer such polite words.
Jiang Liang also opened his mouth to such polite words: "Where are the distinguished guests, just get some calligraphy and paintings by chance, and recently there is a shortage of money, so we can't only come to sell these calligraphy and paintings, how can we blame the store for showing the value of calligraphy and paintings."
"It's good that you don't blame you." This mystery also knows that the real person in charge must be Mo Yu, some are the main ones who speak, and some are the main ones who don't speak, just look at this self-contained form.
Those who are confident are superior.
"I wonder if you two can let me take a look at that painting, and let me gain a little more knowledge."
Mo Yu got up and followed the discriminator, of course, Jiang Liang also got up and followed, and then followed the discriminator who seemed to be particularly experienced to take a look at the painting.
The discriminator was particularly interesting, gently stroking the painting with his hand, and of course, there was still some distance from the painting, as if he could feel a message from the painting.
After a long period of stroke, he took a deep breath, then turned to Mo Yu and Jiang Liang and said, "Please don't blame the two of you, it's taken a bit long now."
Then the man confirmed: "Dare to ask the two of you if you really want to sell this painting."
This sentence made Mo Yu even more embarrassed, and the guilt that was relieved just now suddenly came up again.
However, Jiang Liang was of course a person who had seen a big scene, and said with a soft smile: "It all depends on your price." Jiang Liang didn't say that he would sell it or say that he would not sell it, he just said that he would take a look at the situation.
Then this discriminator, that is, Mi Wu, said with a smile: "This painting, I don't hide it from the two of you, it is indeed the authentic work of Zhang Dongyang, and I don't know where the two got it, but we are willing to pay 150,000 Yu to buy this painting of the two, I don't know if the two can be satisfied?"
Jiang Liang didn't say he was satisfied, nor did he say he was dissatisfied, and then he smiled and said to the discriminator: "Actually, I tell the old gentleman, I don't know whether this painting is real or fake, because others owe us some money, and we can't afford to pay it back, and we are short of money on the day we use this painting to pay off the debt, so we came out to sell this thing, I don't know if the old gentleman can point me out, you said that this is true, how can you see it."
Jiang Liang still completely complied with Mo Yu's thoughts.
In fact, Jiang Liang's statement itself is a bit contradictory, because if someone owes them money, then when they use calligraphy and painting to pay off their debts, those who owe money must also know whether the painting is real or fake, if it is true, why not go directly to the pawnshop, and then use the money to pay off the debt, so that if it is fake, it is even more unreasonable, since it is fake, Mo Yu and Jiang Liang will definitely not use this painting to pay off their debts for no reason.
But this is only to be able to make this discriminator say some words, and to provide some arguments, the truth of which I believe this discriminator will not debate too much.
The old gentleman smiled: "In fact, there is no other thing in this matter, and there is no need for me to hide it, and it doesn't hurt to tell the two, in fact, Zhang Dongyang's works also have a lot of existence in our pawnshop, all of them are genuine, so I have heard a little about it, as for how to see that this painting is real, in fact, when I look at the texture, the age is so old that there is no other, and the degree of yellowing of the paper and the gap between the age should be roughly the same."
"There is no need to say more about this, I believe that the two of them are also sensible people, and they must also know a lot about this simple and understandable truth, which is the second one, I said that the two may not believe it, this painting itself will tell me if he is real, I just felt it with my hand, and then felt it with my heart, I think this painting is real."
I think this person's speech is much more perfunctory, at least more perfunctory than the one just now, and the sentence he says seems to be a little whimsical.
At least what the person said just now is reasonable, but this old gentleman seems a little unrealistic, what do you want to feel, maybe Mo Yu feels that he is a novice, but what this Mi Wu said is a bit too mysterious, and he is more or less unbelievable.
However, Mo Yu saw the old gentleman just now, after reading it once, he did not look at the calligraphy and painting when he touched it with his hand, as if as he said, he felt the painting with his heart, which was indeed incomprehensible to Mo Yu.
But for reasons of politeness, Mo Yu naturally did not refute it.
However, the old gentleman continued: "Maybe you may not believe it after listening to my words, but in this matter, it is like pouring oil in the vegetable market, you can not use a funnel for a long time, and you can reduce the bottle mouth a little longer, and you can drip it in a little bit without spilling it, which is indeed a kind of realm."
Mo Yu also knew what this guy meant, what he meant was that practice makes perfect, and when it came to a certain point, things that seemed mysterious to others were actually not so powerful to me.
Mo Yu also believed this sentence for the time being, but this painting can never be sold, this painting is a painting that Mo Yu likes very much, of course, Jiang Liang must know this.
Jiang Liang replied to the old gentleman's words: "Thank you for the old gentleman's guidance, but since this painting is real, to say that the old gentleman is not very happy, I think the value of this painting should be far higher than what the old gentleman said, so we will accept this painting for the time being, and settle the rest with us."
This discriminator looked stunned, as if he didn't think too much about it, he shouldn't have thought that he wouldn't sell it if he didn't make a counteroffer, but it seems that this old guy is also a person who has seen the world.
And it seems that Mo Yu and Jiang Liang have made up their minds, so they just made a final struggle, this discriminator said: "Since the two are not satisfied with the price, then they are not forced to ask for it, if it is said that 180,000 Yu can be sold to the next, then it will be difficult for the next to accept, if it really doesn't work, I will order someone to settle the rest of the money to the two."
Mo Yu's face should be much thicker than Mo Yu at this time: "Thank you to the old gentleman for your love, it is far from the intended price range, so I have to ...... it."
"I understand, I understand," the discriminator smiled, and did not see any anger, "then I will order the money to be given to the two of you, and ask you to rest for a while." ”
Then the discriminator went out gently, and Jiang Liang naturally hurriedly put away the painting first, and then put it in the box.
It didn't take long for the person just now to come over again, and then took some Yu tickets, these things are things that can be converted into real money, easy to carry, but the conversion may be a bit troublesome in each city, but if you live in a city for a long time, then it is much more convenient.
A total of 50,000 Yu, of which 20,000 are Jiang Liang's and 30,000 are Mo Yu's, Jiang Liang got this windfall for no reason, and he was naturally very happy.
Then the discriminator smiled and said, "The money is settled for the time being, if you two like this place, you can rest here, the tea is not enough and the snacks are not enough, just ask the people outside the door to send it, if you don't need to go down to the place where you don't need to help, you can retire first."
Then the discriminator was gone.
At this time, Jiang Liang said something that made Mo Yu particularly happy: "In fact, this pawnshop also sells some things, and it is also some celebrity calligraphy and painting, if the city lord likes it more, we can take a stroll, but we need to distinguish the truth from the fake."
Mo Yu actually felt quite interested when he heard this, he was only busy with official business in the past, and he didn't find such a fun place.
So after drinking the last cup of tea, they were ready to go to their biggest backyard as Jiang Liang said, this is where this pawnshop makes money.
Then he called the doorman at the door and asked them to call the discriminator just now, after all, the discriminator just now had already earned their money, so it felt quite comfortable to call him.
It didn't take much effort for the discriminator to come over, and then he smiled and asked the two of them, "May I ask what are you looking for?"
Of course, Jiang Liang said: "May I ask if we want to buy some calligraphy and paintings here, can we also do it here?"
The discriminator said loudly and confidently: "That's naturally possible, this is the biggest pawnshop in the area, you have everything you want to buy, if you want to buy something that we don't have in our store, let's go to the branch to inquire, if you really buy it, you can transfer it."
Looking at the level of confidence of this discriminator, Mo Yu also knew that this was already the most confident performance.
Then the next thing is to go to the backyard, the backyard said to be the backyard, but there is no sunlight, but a huge shed was built to block the daylight, although it is a huge shed, it should be considered a house.
This room is very large, and there are many compartments, and there is a specific mark on the top of each compartment, which is who the calligraphy and paintings produced in this room are.
It is said to be a compartment, but the size of this compartment is almost two larger than that of the city lord, which shows that this backyard is big, and it is really wealthy, and the cost of renting a place like this will definitely not be very low.
Then Mo Yu came to a cubicle he liked according to his own preferences.
When I saw a room full of celebrity calligraphy and paintings, I suddenly felt that I had come to the right place.
There is a price standard for each calligraphy and painting, but this price is definitely negotiable, there is no doubt about it.
It's just that the degree to which this can be discussed still depends on the individual's strength and vision, so the people who come to this place to buy things are definitely not the kind of stunned youth.
However, at this time, the discriminator said: "I heard that the painting of the two of you is not sold, so why don't you give the two of you a painting tube, it just so happens that there is such a size here, it is also convenient for the two of you to carry, and it is also more conducive to the preservation of the two of you, isn't it?"
Mo Yu sighed, sometimes people make business bigger, and it is not for nothing, although the best thing is not particularly valuable, but this degree of intimacy has made people feel particularly comfortable.
And in line with the principle that it is a fool not to take advantage of it, Mo Yu and Jiang Liang still accepted this matter, and this discriminator did not have to wait for it, and quickly ordered the people nearby to prepare to bring one such thing over.
And Mo Yu has been appreciating it here, looking at those standard prices, in fact, according to Mo Yu's understanding of these things, he also knows that some of the things marked at the price are definitely a bit exaggerated.
The degree of bargaining is even said to be more than half, and I have to sigh that this is really a violent ranks, no wonder I can rent such a large yard, and it is definitely not without reason.
In fact, among them, Mo Yu can still have eye-catching, but as long as there are some eye-catching prices, Mo Yu doesn't seem to be able to accept them, after all, Mo Yu doesn't make money from this thing, just buys it for collection and viewing, if the price is really too expensive, he still can't accept it.
For example, a calligrapher in the Northern Dynasty, this calligrapher wrote only four short characters, Gao Tang Mingjing, but it has been sold for 100,000 Yu, and Mo Yu is indeed a little overwhelmed.
But Jiang Liang had been observing from the side, so he also knew Mo Yu's careful thoughts, so he asked the discriminator: "Look at this painting, can we buy it cheaper?"
The appraiser took a look: "The two of you really don't hide it, this painting is indeed real." The meaning of this guy's words is that there must be fakes here, and it seems that some fakes are also marked, but the price is relatively low, and according to the meaning of this guy, there are real and fake, and then let the guests see the real and fake dazzled, so there is a kind of confusion.
