Chapter Ninety-Two: In the Dark
Although the merchant could only listen to half of what he said, Barrett didn't mind talking about the price, and he could buy it if it was suitable. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's not because this thing is useful, heraldic painting is more convenient to take, he does have a friend who wants to give gifts, and he will go to the south after a while, and it can be regarded as a gesture of gratitude if he brings it to him.
"Then add it up, how much do you think is appropriate?" He asked.
"Look, this thing was brought from that place, anyway, it's hundreds of years old, and it must be something from a famous family!"
Why? Please take a look, this painting used to be sealed with fire paint, this fire paint can be a lot of origin, the sword and the lion hold the staff coat of arms, this is the former great nobles can only use things. β
Taking the painting he had taken off, Barrett carefully examined the tapes used to bind the paintings, and indeed left half of the paint on one of them, but due to its age, the half of it was gone.
It is indeed the coat of arms of the sword and the two lions, which means that the original owner of the painting is likely to be some famous person.
In the same way that the merchant did not say that his things were bad, and in the same way, the buyer did not say that the things he wanted to buy were good, and Barrett had to deal with the merchants almost every day when he was in the neighborhood of the inferior people.
"It's a pity, it can only show that its owner is a person with a lot of status, and it doesn't mean anything."
I wanted to hand the painting back, but I saw Doroniel looking at the painting in his hand with interest, and after thinking about it, he handed it to hers.
"Don't say that, its owner is very powerful, so he definitely won't collect cheap things. Painting is also the norm in our industry! β
The shopkeeper wiped his sweat and explained that serious objects with a history are much more valuable than those with nothing, and he has been in this business for many years, so how can he not understand.
"Your old man's identity, this status, this little money is not a drop in the bucket, and we ordinary people still rely on this money to support our families."
Feeling that the previous words were of little use to him, the shopkeeper hurriedly added that no matter what time it is, it is useful to wear a top hat.
But no matter what he said, he didn't reveal how much he was going to sell for this painting, this is the price, he was calculating how much money is appropriate, if he loses less, if he loses more, he will lose money, this thing is the skill of doing business.
"Okay, don't tell me these clichΓ©s, you just quote a price, I'll think about it, we will have something to do later, if you can't make up your mind, we'll leave."
Barrett naturally wouldn't give him a chance to weigh the results, he asked directly, this thing is just a game between mentality.
"You're too anxious, I haven't finished introducing you yet, how can you ...... like this?"
"Ask about the origin, you don't know, how to introduce it? Waiting for you to bring the painter here? Sorry, we don't have that much time. β
Speaking of which, Barrett deliberately looked at his watch, looking impatient, you don't want to say? Sorry for that.
As soon as he finished speaking, the shopkeeper couldn't sit still, his eyes purred a few times, and he opened his mouth to burst out a price.
"It's not too much for you, 80,000 Fu coins is fine, what do you think? This price is really cheap, you won't have such a meal this night, right? β
What is the concept of 80,000 coins? A medium-sized car, a house of thirty or forty square meters for money.
In the eyes of rich people, it really doesn't call it money, just like the squandering of the two girls yesterday, I'm afraid it's more than that.
But for ordinary people, this is not a small amount of money, at least you need to work for two or three years without eating or drinking to save it.
You ask for a price, I just pay it back, although the shopkeeper didn't dare to ask for a price, this money must be repaid.
"How can it be so expensive? At that time, the paintings with landscape figures were only a few thousand yuan a foot, and your painting was six feet, that is, thirty or forty thousand, eighty thousand high. β
Yo, still a knowledgeable one? The shopkeeper was dumbfounded when he heard this, and what he said was true, and it was really about the same as the market price. However, it is also because the western side is in chaos, and the southern side is also in chaos, and the market is sluggish.
His mouth smuttered, but he didn't want to answer, if it was really sold for 40,000 yuan, at best, he would earn a passing fee, and he couldn't get a few thousand yuan, how could he be willing?
Seeing that he didn't answer, Barrett smiled, stood up, and reached out to take the painting in the hands of the two girls, okay, you can't make up your mind, I'll help you.
It's just that as soon as his hand touched the scroll, he froze, and the fire paint had already fallen off, and it was in Ryphy's hand.
Since she had never seen such a thing, she kept touching it curiously, but unfortunately she couldn't tell how many years it was, even if her hand was gentle, she couldn't help it.
Seeing that Barrett was not moving, the shopkeeper, who was originally a little painful, felt strange, didn't this person want to bargain, why did he stop?
When he looked at it, his fat face was full of smiles, okay, you have it in your hands.
80,000 deals!
"Look at what you did, how can I say okay, or will you find a craftsman to make up for it?"
Knowing it's impossible, he's still fine, I don't mind, as long as you can get it right.
"If I broke it, count it mine."
Lai Fei understood what was going on and opened her mouth to speak.
Shaking his head and smiling at her, Barrett reached out and verified his fingerprints on his watch, and transferred 80,000 fugsley to the shopkeeper's account, which was considered the end of the transaction.
"Forget it, wrap it up. Send a painting bag, do you have a problem? β
"No, no! You see what you say, and I'm sure you've got it all right. β
Now that the money was earned, his hands and feet were naturally very nimble, and soon he got the painting and handed it to Barrett.
The things are in hand, then let's go, and the three of them went out of the antique shop.
As he walked, Leyphy said, "Sorry for breaking you." Well, when I get home, I'll give you back. β
She was a little uneasy in her heart, after all, he had lost a lot of money, and she had just secretly asked Doroniel to borrow money to pay the bill herself, but unfortunately she had always been generous and did not lend it to her.
"No, it's just a business routine, I don't suffer a loss, buy it cheaply, it's cheap, buy it expensive, it's worth gold. Don't worry, I'll give it away. β
Barrett comforted that an unintentional mistake was not a bad thing, or he might not have been able to make up his mind to buy it.
Despite what he said, Leyphy didn't feel any more comfortable, and she felt like she owed him something more.
Of course, she didn't know, this was exactly what Doroniel wanted to see, so she didn't choose to help her, the more she owed, the better, anyway, didn't you owe him me?
In the warehouse of the Political Inspectorate
Z1, which was sent here to be checked, quietly activated the operating system, and a large amount of data was transmitted to its database.
A coat of arms swirls around its control panel, a coat of arms made up of four branches and an hourglass.
A shallow streamer of light swept along the lines of its armor, then fell silent.
