Chapter Seventy-Nine: Yue'e
"Oh, my friend, I didn't expect you to be not only kind-hearted, but also so good at speaking in foreign languages."
The foreigner smiled and then asked, "Can you tell me who you learned English from?" ”
Li Zhiwen said with a smile: "My father used to do business in the United States, and I went there and learned foreign languages. ”
"No wonder you speak English so purely."
The foreigner then thanked Li Zhiwen and said: "I really thanked you so much just now, if it weren't for you, I would have been fooled by that person." My friend, are you sure that jar is not an antique? ”
The foreigner was very familiar and put his arm directly on Li Zhiwen's shoulder.
Li Zhiwen smelled a smell of mutton in an instant.
Li Zhiwen couldn't hold back his nausea, and replied with a smile: "It's not an antique at all, not even an imitation, it's just an ordinary jar in every household." ”
The foreigner asked with some curiosity, "Really?" Looks like you're really researching these things? ”
At this time, the man's eyes looking at Li Zhiwen gradually became hot.
Li Zhiwen said with a smile: "Yes, my family itself is engaged in the antique business, and many antiques are exported abroad. ”
Li Zhiwen said very seriously that if you want people to believe your lies, you must first believe it.
is like the current Li Zhiwen, Li Zhiwen's eyes are full of pride, as if he is a rich second generation.
The gourd in Li Zhiwen's hand has also been playing with it.
The foreigner's eyes also noticed.
The foreigner continued: "That's really good, can you help me choose a real antique here?" ”
The foreigner clenched his fists with some excitement, and glanced at each other with the women beside him, both of whom showed excited looks.
It was as if Li Zhiwen had promised them.
In this era, these foreign friends have a natural sense of superiority, and even now, there are foreigners who look at Chinese people with racial discrimination.
They always feel that their country is the first in the world, and all countries have to slip through them, but they don't know, count the romantic figures, and look at the present!
Li Zhiwen was a little angry when he thought of this, but his tone was flat: "Of course you can." ”
A trace of ferocity flashed in Li Zhiwen's heart, the big fish has been hooked, and he can't eat it himself, so let's share it with these brothers who set up stalls, and they all have a taste.
Both sides gave a simple explanation to each other and got to know each other a little.
The man's name is Bruce, the woman's name is Alice, and when asked about Li Zhiwen's name, Li Zhiwen also gave himself a loud and elegant name: "Yue'e!" ”
This name is transliterated into foreign languages, and the translation is to lie to you and not negotiate!
So Li Zhiwen took the foreigner to take a few turns in the antique street casually, when his figure was in front and the gold owner in the back was behind, the vendors all smiled at Li Zhiwen and nodded their heads, Li Zhiwen had a feeling of being a fox and a fake tiger.
After going around, Li Zhiwen went directly to the shop where he bought gourds in the morning.
"Here comes brother."
At this time, the boss said enthusiastically, as if Li Zhiwen was a regular customer here, the two had known each other for a long time, and the boss's attitude had changed a lot from the morning.
Li Zhiwen said lightly: "I'll help my friend take a look at the antiques." ”
After Li Zhiwen said lightly, he immediately chose an item, in fact, he didn't know much about antiques at all, but he had to pretend that he knew it very well, that is, he had to have a fan, after all, this play still has to be performed.
"This is from the Qing Dynasty, and it should be a wine cup used by a large family."
The boss said with a smile at Li Zhiwen.
Li Zhiwen shook his head and pouted: "This trace of oldness is too obvious, too fake." ”
Li Zhiwen is completely nonsense.
He had never seen anyone check the authenticity of antiques, but he still watched a lot of them when Wang Gang smashed the hammer on TV.
When the boss heard Li Zhiwen's words, he smiled a little embarrassed at the moment.
In fact, he knew that this thing was fake, but where the fake was, how could he know, he was wholesale in large quantities.
Bruce also picked up the wine cup and took a closer look, in fact, he looked at everything on the stall was antique, how did he understand this, but he still pretended to know it very well, nodded slightly, and put the wine cup back.
Li Zhiwen said to the boss: "Foreign friends are here, so let's take something decent." ”
"Good!"
The boss nodded, then took out a box from a cloth bag behind him, and inside the box was a red lacquered wood mirror.
"It's something my grandmother left behind, and it's not expensive, but it's really an old thing."
The boss told the truth, seriously, he has here, and only this one is an old play, and the others are modern imitations!
"Oh?"
Li Zhiwen's eyes lit up instantly, and then he took the wooden box and watched it confidently.
In fact, Li Zhiwen didn't want to buy one for foreigners, after all, why should I give my country's antiques to foreigners?
But after all, you have to pretend, after all, if you take one directly and say antiques, then the foreigner should always wonder if Li Zhiwen is deceiving him, after all, he wants the foreigner to know that he is helping him and make him grateful to himself.
But Li Zhiwen didn't expect to really get a real antique out, and there was nothing he could do at the moment.
Li Zhiwen carefully picked up the mirror and looked left and right, this is a very ordinary wood carving mirror, but the layer of luster on it cannot be fake, it is an old object with a smile on it.
However, this thing is priceless, and if it is not an antique, it is okay, but if it is not an antique, it is not an antique, and it is difficult to give a reasonable price.
Li Zhiwen put the mirror in Bruce's hand, and then leaned into his ear and whispered: "This is a good thing, but you can't show a surprised expression, don't show a trace of love for this thing, so I can cut the price for you." ”
Bruce nodded slightly, then pretended not to like it again, and said in a lame voice: "My dear Yue, I don't like this thing, he's just an ordinary mirror." ”
"Huh?"
The boss couldn't help but show a look of disappointment when he saw that his foreign friends didn't like it.
The boss hurriedly persuaded: "Actually, this thing is still good, after some years, I suggest you take a look." ”
