078 Antique Market
Duan Chen looked at Wu Xie's excited face, and knew what he wanted to do, and sure enough, Wu Xie said that he planned to sell the stolen goods.
"It's just so that we can dispose of the things here, and we won't have to worry about bringing them back." Wu Xie put on his coat as he spoke, put the backpack containing the jade nesting coffin on his back, and then looked at Duan Chen and said, "Duan Chen, it is better to sell the things you brought out, and it is better to exchange them for money when you bring them around." β
Duan Chen didn't speak, the ancient sword he took out was intended to be kept for himself as a weapon, and the jade armor helmet was a very important thing, so naturally he would not take it out and sell it, and the only thing that could be sold for money was the purple jade box that belonged to him.
Wu Sanxing had appraised the price of this purple jade box before, saying that this thing was worth two or three million to say the least, and if there were rich people who loved this kind of antique jade and the like, it would not be a problem to sell it for four or five million.
This purple jade box is of little use to Duan Chen, and it is indeed a way to sell it for money like Wu Xie said, after all, it is really inconvenient to carry such a thing on his body.
So Broken Chen nodded in agreement with Wu Xie's proposal, and then the two of them each carried their backpacks out of the room.
Going down to the lobby on the first floor, Wu Xie went to ask the waiter where there was a place to pour antiques, and the waiter answered his question very enthusiastically, and also called a taxi for the two of them.
Along the way, the talkative driver talked to Wu Xie Hu about a lot of antiques and sent the two to the Hero Mountain Market. This is a relatively large concentration of antiques and calligraphy products, there are many people and noisy, but there are many fakes, Wu Xieyuan is fresh after a while to lose interest, with the broken Chen began to look for a store that can sell goods.
Wu Xie Zhi said that the things in his hands are not ordinary antiques, and if he wants to sell, he must find a larger storefront, because these things are not something that ordinary people can afford, and those big stores must have connections with some relatively large customers. And the prices of these things have been estimated in advance by his third uncle, and he is not afraid of being deceived.
After Wu Xie went to the ground for the first time, he gained knowledge, and his heart was booming, looking at this and that, and secretly tasting and commenting on it from time to time. Broken Chen followed behind and walked silently, actually looking around, hoping to find some special items with black gas, but unfortunately there was no gain.
Walking around half of the antique market, Wu Xie suddenly saw a bronze incense burner behind the glass window of a shop, with some inscribed figures on it, which made him look like a spirit. Because the people on it all had big bellies, which were very similar to the sea bucket murals that his third uncle had mentioned to him before, he leaned down to take a closer look.
At this time, the shopkeeper came out and said with a smile: "You are very knowledgeable, and my shop is worth this thing." β
Wu Xie heard that his accent was a Beijing film, so he asked him, "What strange thing is engraved on this?" Look, it's not from Hainan, right? β
The boss's expression changed when he heard this: "I really met an expert today, this thing has been here for many years, and you are the first to see the signs, yes, this is indeed Hainan." β
Wu Xie looked at the boss's earnest expression, and knew that the other party wanted to sell him something, and Wu Xie was naturally not fooled in his heart: "I'm not an expert, but I've seen this thing in Hainan." β
The boss invited Wu Xie and Duan Chen into the shop to sit down, and then served two cups of tea: "Then you are modest, but it doesn't matter if you really don't know the way, let me tell you, the carving on this incense burner is a kind of ghost, they all call this thing 'forbidden woman', the origin of this thing is a long story, if you are really interested, I will tell you?" β
Wu Xie chatted with the boss vigorously, and Duan Chen drank tea on the side, but his attention was also attracted to the past, because the forbidden woman bones in the bronze incense burner had a faint black gas, although it was not much, it was very clear, indicating that this thing also had a lot of cause and effect possession.
Wu Xie and the shopkeeper held each other and played Tai Chi for a while, but the result was not a deal, because Wu Xie knew that this bronze incense burner was too unpopular, and there was no room for appreciation when he bought it, so he diverted the topic and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about this first, I have a few things here, boss, you show me and estimate the price." β
The boss is also a good person, and as soon as he heard what he said, he knew that Wu Xie was not here to buy things, but to sell things. It's just that looking at the young appearance of Wu Xie and Duan Chen, they don't think that the other party can have any good things, so they say it politely, but they are very disappreciative in their hearts.
Wu Xie saw the contempt in the shopkeeper's eyes, and he was not annoyed, but just chuckled and unzipped the backpack, revealing the corner of the jade nested coffin.
The shopkeeper's face changed immediately when he saw this thing, and without saying a word, he stuffed the jade coffin cover back, then got up and pulled down the roller shutter door of the shop, and re-served tea for Wu Xie and Duanchen. Wu Xie sniffed it, and knew that Dao was a top-grade Tieguanyin, and secretly scolded this boss in his heart for treating him differently.
The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his head and asked, "I don't know what the two craftsmen in Ludao call them?" β
One sentence made Wu Xie know that this person was not a simple antique dealer, and he could see at a glance that this jade nested coffin was poured out, and the person was definitely a veteran of the Tao.
Wu Xie smiled politely: "My surname is Wu, what do you call the boss?" β
"You can just call me Lao Hai, Master Wu, are you planning to make a move on this thing, or let me see it?" The boss looked at Wu Xie with a flushed face, obviously extremely eager for this business.
Wu Xie saw it in his eyes and said quietly: "Of course I want to make a move, this thing is a little hot to put around." β
The shopkeeper walked back and forth in the room a few times and asked, "Not all?" β
"A piece won't be missing you, just out of the pot, and it's still hot." Wu Xie was a little smug when he said this. Seeing this, Duan Chen next to him was a little dissatisfied in his heart, thinking about how to make this naΓ―ve guy suffer well, lest he get carried away.
Wu Xie and the boss discussed for a while, and the jade nested coffin was finalized at a price of 1.2 million. At this time, Wu Xie took out the short-handled ancient knife again, this is the dragon's back, although it is only a short knife, it can also be sold for more than one million. The purple gold treasure box was also very valuable, but Wu Xie liked it very much, and was going to take it back and put it in his shop as a treasure of the town store, and he planned to sell this ancient knife now.
As soon as the shopkeeper saw this short knife, his breathing immediately became short, and he was secretly happy that he had really met a big customer today. It's just that when he just wanted to take the short knife from Wu Xie's hand and take a look, Duan Chen, who had never spoken, took the first step to hold down Wu Xie's hand holding the knife, and said indifferently: "You keep this." β
Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what Lu Dao Broken Chen meant, he thought about it and obediently put away the short knife, because he subconsciously thought that he had to listen to and believe Broken Chen's words.
The owner was a little disappointed, but didn't say much. Because he could see that although it was Wu Xie who had always talked to him, the indifferent young man next to him was the one who really had the right to speak among the two.
Breaking Chen naturally had his plan to let Wu Xie keep the short-handled ancient knife, but it was inconvenient to talk to Wu Xie now. When he saw that Wu Xie's business was done, he untied the backpack behind him, took out the purple jade box, and then motioned to Wu Xie with his eyes.
The latter understood, patted the purple jade box with a smile, and asked the boss: "Boss Hai, I don't know if you can accept this thing?" β
As soon as the shopkeeper saw the purple jade box, his eyes immediately straightened, and even his voice trembled a little: "This... Are you really going to sell this thing? β
Seeing his reaction, Wu Xie felt more embarrassed in his heart, and said with a smile: "Since you have brought it out, you naturally want to sell it, you can look at the price, as long as it is reasonable, we will make a deal." β
The boss hurriedly ran to the side to call his patron, and Wu Xie asked Duan Chen in a low voice: "Why do you want me to keep this ancient knife?" β
Duan Chen glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "That ancient knife is a treasure, you can keep it for self-defense, it is very dangerous to go to the tomb with your body, is it possible that you expect someone to protect you in the future?" β
Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, and then nodded silently. In fact, he has always wanted to ask Broken Chen, but he didn't know how to speak, and now when he heard Broken Chen's words, he not only reminded him, but also made him realize something, but this is not the time to talk about this, so he didn't speak again.
The shopkeeper finished the phone call at this time, walked back with an excited face, and said to Wu Xie repeatedly: "It's done!" It's done! My customer has been waiting for this thing, and yours is very rare, and the price is six million, which is considered a lottery, what do you think? β
Wu Xie was also secretly shocked when he heard this, he knew that this purple jade box was very valuable, but he didn't expect it to be so valuable. He glanced at Broken Chen, and found that the latter didn't care about it, and knew that this meant to let him call the shots.
"The price is very good, and the deal is sold." Wu Xie suppressed his surprise and said with a smile, "Then how to calculate the commission?" Or is it the old rules? β
The shopkeeper smiled: "Don't tell you, the customer has prepared more for me, you can collect all the money, but my customer wants to make friends with you, if there is such a thing next time, don't ask someone else's house, send me here directly, as long as the price is reasonable, we will accept it." You must know that the customer behind me is very rich, and he dares to accept anything that others dare not accept. β
Wu Xie smiled and didn't say a word, which was a tacit acquiescence, and then chatted with the boss about something else, during which he talked about the snake eyebrow copper fish, Wu Xie heard that the boss knew some news, so he asked him to help pay attention to it.
After waiting for an hour, and the huge amount of 7.2 million yuan was paid to the account, Wu Xie got up to say goodbye and walked out of the antique store behind Xuanchen. Before leaving, the boss gave Wu Xie a bronze incense burner containing the bones of the forbidden woman, as an addition to this big deal.
The two went all the way back to the hotel, but Wu Xie lost his previous happy performance, and followed up with a calm face to Jiechen's room.
Broken Chen glanced at him and didn't say anything. The two sat on the couch in the room, facing each other in silence for a long time without saying a word. Wu Xie opened his mouth several times and closed it again, repeating the cycle, looking very entangled.
Seeing his look of wanting to speak and stopping, Broken Chen finally spoke first: "I know that you have a lot of questions, what do you want to ask, just ask directly." β
Wu Xie took a deep breath when he heard this, and said with a solemn face: "Who are you?" β
