Chapter 25: Exposing the Attributes of the Rich
But who knew that in the next second, Chu Zetian said, "130,000, this Jade Buddha 130,000, you will not lose money." β
The little boss almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood, and he really made a steady profit, but there is still an essential difference between earning 10,000 and earning 100,000!
The little boss looked at Chu Zetian with some embarrassment, "Otherwise, Master Chu, you should go to another house to have a look, our temple is just such a Buddha, if you buy it, we really won't have a Buddha!" β
Chu Zetian quietly twisted the Buddha beads in his hand, and his gentle eyes showed a trace of displeasure at being rejected.
The little boss stood in place at a loss, and the Buddha statue in his hand was not taken for a while.
"Forget it, didn't you say that this Buddha statue can't do anything except the texture, so let's go to another house to have a look, right?" Sensing the awkward aura in the store, Wen Xia came out to act as this peacemaker.
At this time, three men dressed in black came in from outside the door, and the man led by him said respectfully to Chu Zetian: "Master Chu, we bought you back what you wanted!" β
The two men behind him took a step forward with the boxes they were carrying.
"Is it in range?" Chu Zetian waved his hand and asked without looking back.
"Within your 1 million estimates! It's just..."
The man in black wanted to speak and stopped, Chu Zetian frowned, "Just what?" β
"It's just that this time we're rubbing the edges too hard, and I'm afraid this store won't open again in the next six years!"
Wen Xia's eyes widened on the side, although she didn't understand the market in the antique industry, she had also heard such a sentence, that is, if you don't open for three years, you will eat for three years.
According to this calculation, Chu Zetian did not give this shop owner a chance to make money at all!
"Last time, he dropped the bag of Yu Ruyi that I fancied, and not opening for six years is already a special kindness to him!" Chu Zetian said, his eyes looked at the shopkeeper who was trembling with the Buddha statue at this time, intentionally or unintentionally.
The boss said in his heart, isn't it just a jade Buddha, the old doesn't go to the new one, and it's better to sell it than to close the store. Staying in the green mountains, he was not afraid that there would be no Buddha to sell, so he hurriedly put the Buddha statue on the table and said with a smile:
"130,000 is right, Chu Ye said how much is how much!"
Seeing him like this, Chu Zetian smiled with a slight expression.
Wen Xia couldn't help but laugh when she looked at his bullying appearance.
After getting another antique, the two left the shop together.
Ciqikou is sparsely populated, and the buildings are relatively old. The warm morning sun shines brightly, and the whole street is filled with a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.
"What were you just laughing at in the antique shop?" Chu Zetian walked side by side with him on the road and asked in a good mood.
Wen Xia blinked mischievously, "I'm laughing at you for looking harmless and kind-hearted on the surface, but in fact, you are so good at bullying people!"
Chu Zetian didn't care about Wen Xia's evaluation of himself, but found it interesting.
"The texture of the jade Buddha you fancy is indeed superior, if you take it back and polish it again, its price will naturally double, so it's not all bullying, it's just a businessman's instinctive hunting reaction to wealth."
Hearing him say this, Wen Xia nodded thoughtfully.
In addition, he was surprised by his ability, "Actually, you are not just an antique shopkeeper!" I think your business acumen and discovery of wealth are more acute than the boss of any listed company! β
Chu Zetian didn't speak, and the constantly rising corners of his mouth made Wen Xia believe that he had guessed correctly.
The two went into several more antique shops and bought some high-quality antiques.
Wen Xia secretly calculated this intermittent purchase, and actually spent more than a million. Among them, there are several antiques, Chu Zetian relied on his rich research on antiques, clearly pointed out its shortcomings and shortcomings, and successfully bought them again at the lowest price.
This caused Wen Xia to feel a sense of guilt every time she finished buying, and she even watched the boss close the store door directly after she and Chu Zetian walked out of the store a few times.
"Have you always been buying antiques like this?" Wen Xia asked curiously.
"Any questions?" Chu Zetian was completely unaware of his bandit-style plundering behavior.
As soon as Wen Xia wanted to make an evaluation of his behavior, he felt that his feet were crooked, and his body was cut straight to the ground.
"Ahh Wen Xia cried out in horror, and just when she thought she was about to make a close contact with the ground, a large warm and powerful hand wrapped around her waist and stabilized her falling body. The sound that followed was the sound of a "tick-to-click" bead sliding on the ground.
Wen Xia closed her eyes tightly, and she didn't dare to open them for a long time, when a low laugh appeared above her head.
"Miss Wen's guts don't seem to be as good as your drinking."
Wen Xia was stunned for a moment, only then did he realize that he was still in someone's arms, and hurriedly wanted to push him away, but he didn't expect his feet to be crooked again.
"Be careful!" This time, Chu Zetian didn't make such a big move just now, he just helped her arm.
Wen Xia used his strength to stand firm this time.
She looked down and realized that the heel of her high heels had broken somewhere.
"Thisβ" Wen Xia's face was a little embarrassed.
"I said a long time ago that the road in Ciqikou is in disrepair, and today I finally found a reasonable reason to reflect it!" Chu Zetian has extremely high emotional intelligence, and he resolved Wen Xia's embarrassment in just a few words.
"But what about your shoes?" Chu Zetian asked.
Wen Xia lowered his head and pondered for a while, generously took off his shoes, and stood barefoot on the road.
"What's so difficult about this, your car is not far away, just walk barefoot."
Wen Xia said with a smile, who knew that as soon as she took a step, she felt a whirlwind of the sky, and in the blink of an eye, she was already hugged in front of Chu Zetianheng.
"What do you do?" Wen Xia was so frightened that she hugged his neck tightly and asked in a panic.
Chu Zetian smiled, "I know that you are an informal woman, but it is not a gentleman's behavior to let a lady walk barefoot on the road." β
Saying that, he carried Wen Xia all the way back to the parking lot, and on the way, the owners of all the shops in Ciqikou poked their heads out one after another, asking each other who the woman in Chu Zetian's arms was.
After all, the Chu Zetian they know is a piece of iron and wood, eating fasting and chanting Buddha all day long, collecting antiques and cultural toys, when did they have such close contact with women.
After coming to the parking lot, Chu Zetian carefully put Wen Xia into the car.
Then he followed into the car.
"Go to the most branded shopping mall in the area!" Chu Zetian commanded, and his fingers subconsciously wanted to twist the Buddha beads, only to find that he was already empty-handed.
