Chapter 106: Cheerful and Kind
Two days later, the two middle-aged men walked into Zhang Hao's courtyard as promised.
He came to greet him outside the gate of the courtyard as usual, and said to a man with glasses: "Hello Uncle Li, I'm Zhang Hao." ”
Li He's appearance is six or seven points similar to Li Jun, so Zhang Hao can easily distinguish his friend's father from the two.
"Hello Mr. Zhang, I'm Li Jun." Li Jun solemnly shook hands with Zhang Hao and said, "This is Chen Qing, a relative of mine. ”
It can be seen that he doesn't want to easily expose the embarrassing fact that Chen Qing, who is the same age, is a generation older than him in terms of seniority.
In this regard, Zhang Hao will naturally not break it.
After shaking hands with Chen Qing, he said to Li Jun again: "Uncle Li, I have a good relationship with Li He, just call me Xiao Zhang." ”
Li Jun smiled: "Thank you Mr. Zhang for your kindness, but he and I should have separate opinions." ”
He had learned about Zhang Hao's information from Li He in advance, and naturally knew that he was valued by Zhou Bin, and at the same time completed many blockbuster antique transactions.
According to his speculation, Zhang Hao's net worth should be no less than his own, so when facing Zhang Hao, he did not put on any elders' stands.
Zhang Hao didn't insist, stretched out his hand and invited: "Two, please come in!" ”
After he took the two of them to sit down in the showroom, Steward Su poured hot tea for the three of them at the right time, and then left the showroom.
Zhang Hao took the initiative to say: "Li He has already told me the requirements of the two of you, and now most of my collections that can meet your requirements are here, please do so." ”
Li Jun said politely: "Okay, I often hear Li He mention your antique showroom, and I finally have the honor to visit in person today." Error-free updates @"
Chen Qing also nodded at Zhang Hao, then got up and looked at the objects in the showroom curiously.
Zhang Hao also stood up and accompanied Chen Qing and the others.
It's not that he doesn't trust the character of the two, it's just that this is the first transaction between the two parties, so according to the rules of the antique business, it is up to him, the host, to place the objects that the guests like on the table for the other party to admire.
Li Jun obviously accompanied Chen Qing today, so the whole person seemed very relaxed.
While looking at Zhang Hao's treasures, he chatted with Zhang Hao from time to time.
He is still very curious about the "big guy" friends that his son suddenly made.
At this time, Chen Qing was attracted all the attention by the pair of jade horn cups placed in the safe.
After standing by the safe and looking at it for a while, he turned to Zhang Hao and asked, "Mr. Zhang, I know that your pair of jade horn cups is not for sale, but I still want to see this pair of treasures up close, is it convenient for you to see it?" ”
"No problem, it's okay if you want to get started."
Zhang Hao nodded, opened the safe, took out the pair of jade horn cups that were placed behind the "not for sale" stand, and put them on the table next to him.
"Thank you, I took the liberty to cause you trouble."
After Chen Qing thanked him politely, he stretched out his hands and picked up one of the jade horn cups.
After a while, his face showed an obsessive expression: "Such a treasure can be called a national treasure!" ”
Then, he carefully put the jade horn cup back on the table, and said to Zhang Hao: "Thank you Mr. Zhang for your face!" I'm also interested in your bronze mirror here, can you let me take a look? ”
Once he's satisfied his curiosity, he's about to get down to business.
"Of course." After Zhang Hao put away the jade horn cup, he took the bronze mirror not far away to the table.
Chen Qing looked at the bronze mirror and asked, "Mr. Zhang, can you please tell me the origin of this bronze mirror?" ”
"This is a bronze mirror from the Western Han Dynasty." Zhang Hao said, "The early bronze was called Jijin, which was extremely precious and could only be used by the royal family and nobles.
It was not until the Han Dynasty, after the development of productive forces, that bronze mirrors began to become relatively popular, but they were also limited to nobles and court officials.
The Han mirror in front of us is a mirror used by a prince and a king, please look closely at the ornament on it, which is only qualified to be used by the royal family. ”
"Yes, this is indeed a royal item." Chen Qing looked at the bronze mirror carefully and said, "This bronze mirror has complex ornamentation, exquisite text, and rich gilding, which can be called the best Han mirror!" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Hao did not leave a trace. (More exciting on the next page!) )
glanced at Chen Qing.
Generally speaking, at this point, the next sentence should say "but", right?
However, Chen Qing didn't seem to have any intention of lowering the price, and said bluntly again: "Mr. Zhang, don't hide it, I'm very satisfied with this bronze mirror, if you are willing to cut, the cooperation is pleasant." @*~~”
"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly today." Li Jun said with a smile, "Buyers don't belittle the seller's goods, and sellers don't deliberately raise their own goods, and it must be a good story in the business world to spread it." ”
Li Jun has a good understanding of the character of his "elders".
In his impression, Chen Qing is such a person who has one thing to say.
Since he took the initiative to say that he wanted to make friends with Zhang Hao, the price given by Zhang Hao must be quite fair, and even a little bit of a loss.
Li Jun guessed that there may also be some favors from Li He.
He thought to himself: "Go back and let Li He find a chance to return Zhang Hao's favor, although they have a good relationship, they can't let one party pay unilaterally." ”
Chen Qing asked Zhang Hao: "Mr. Zhang, through the conversation just now, I think you are very proficient in the history of the Western Han Dynasty!" ”
"I can't talk about being proficient, but I just have carefully understood the history of these objects." Zhang Hao smiled, "On the contrary, it is Mr. Chen's eyesight that makes me admire." ”
Chen Qing shook his head and said: "I have been learning antique knowledge from the elders in my family since I was a child, and I have been beaten many times, so I have this meager achievement, which is not worth mentioning compared to you." ”
"Mr. Chen is polite, I just happened to take a few shortcuts." Zhang Hao said modestly, "The so-called "endless hard work in the sea", in my opinion, the same is true for the antique business.
No matter who you are, how many good results you have achieved in the past, and how deep your experience is, there will always be a time when you will overturn your eyes. ”
Chen Qing gave a thumbs up and said, "That's good! ”
Li Jun couldn't help but look at Zhang Hao again at this time.
He didn't expect that Chen Qing's evaluation of Zhang Hao would be so high.
He didn't expect Zhang Hao to be so humble.
Comparing his heart to his heart, if he achieves such an achievement at Zhang Hao's age, not to mention arrogant, but at least he will be complacent.
From some angles, Zhang Hao has long been ahead of him.
