Chapter 457: Hou San's Move (First Update, Ask for Subscription!) )
To tell the truth, in fact, when Zhou Jianguo just started, he didn't notice these gossip mirrors, but the Dongtian Treasure Bead sent a signal to him, and after seeing these gossip mirrors, he unconsciously recalled those zombie movies when he was a child, and recalled Uncle Nine, so he would find this treasure here, otherwise, he would not have noticed these gossip mirrors either.
The truth of the matter was also guessed by Zhou Jianguo, these gossip mirrors are not very popular on the side of the antique street, and those antiques are still popular categories of antiques, such as calligraphy and painting, ancient jade, porcelain and the like, and unpopular things like gossip mirrors, no one likes them.
Why did the stall owner put away some gossip mirrors, not because these gossip mirrors are difficult to sell, if they are easy to sell, hehe, do you want to believe it, when the stall owner's stall is full of gossip mirrors.
This is the same as selling things in the supermarket, good things, popular things, are placed in the most conspicuous place in the supermarket, and things that are not sold very well are placed in the most remote places.
Holding a gossip mirror, Zhou Jianguo also experienced the feeling of a zombie Taoist, learning the posture of Uncle Nine when he captured zombies in the movie, and irradiated the gossip mirror in his hand for a while, and his mouth was still chanting, which looked a little naïve.
However, Zhou Jianguo didn't care, because this was his nostalgia for his childhood, naïve or something, Zhou Jianguo didn't care.
After experiencing his childhood wishes, Zhou Jianguo put away the gossip mirror, carefully put it on the side, and began to ask the stall owner for the price.
"Boss, your two gossip mirrors are very good, I like them very much, I want to buy them, I don't know what price you are, boss?"
Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the stall owner's eyes, and this was what he was waiting for, so he immediately said the price he had already thought of with a smile.
"Little brother, I believe you also know, this is the Taoist Bagua Mirror handed down from the Tang Dynasty, it is made of the highest grade brass, no, it looks like a new one now, such a treasure is difficult to meet, and it is also very collectible.
And our Heavenly Master's Mansion has already opened up these gossip mirrors, and if these two gossip mirrors really want to talk about it, they can be regarded as a kind of magic weapon, so the price of one gossip mirror is 5,000 yuan.
As long as you pay 10,000 yuan, you can have these two gossip mirrors handed down from the Tang Dynasty, or Taoist magic weapons, little brother, don't miss this opportunity. ”
"Boss, I didn't expect you to look so old, but your appetite is quite big, a gossip mirror of five thousand yuan, boss, at this price, you really say it."
Zhou Jianguo directly exclaimed, looking at the stall owner in disbelief.
"Damn, this boss's hands are really black, this is obviously taking a buddy as a big wrong! Five thousand dollars, how dare you say it! Zhou Jianguo kept complaining in his heart, and the stall owner's lion opened his mouth, which made Zhou Jianguo a little unconvinced.
This is not a popular collection, if you are the porcelain handed down from the Tang Dynasty, and the paintings or something, it doesn't matter if it is 5,000 yuan, but you are an extremely unpopular Taoist gossip mirror, to put it mildly, if it weren't for those zombie movies when Zhou Jianguo was a child, he wouldn't have wanted to collect these two gossip mirrors.
It's just an extremely unpopular gossip mirror, this stall owner really dares to open his mouth like this, and Zhou Jianguo is also a little dumbfounded.
As for what is made of the highest grade brass, with a beautiful shape or something, hehe...... these are all words, who believes it, who is a fool, so Zhou Jianguo directly ignored these façade words.
What kind of magic weapon do you say, if these two gossip mirrors were really magic weapons, they would have been enshrined by your Heavenly Master's Mansion a long time ago, where would you take them to the market to sell, you really thought I was a fool, so you used unobtrusive words to deceive me,
These two gossip mirrors are really magic weapons, hehe...... Don't say 5,000 yuan, even if it's 50,000 yuan, I'm afraid there are countless people who are crazy about grabbing it, and you will still peddle it at such a street stall?
Seeing the rich expression change on Zhou Jianguo's face, as well as the eyes full of contempt, a trace of embarrassment flashed in the stall owner's eyes, he basically didn't dare to look at Zhou Jianguo's eyes, the price he opened, of course he understood how much moisture there was.
However, after all, he has been setting up a stall here for more than ten years, and he can be regarded as a full-fledged profiteer who has been tested for a long time, so although he feels a little embarrassed, the expression on his face still has not changed in the slightest, and he still has a determined look, as if the two gossip mirrors of the Tang Dynasty in front of him are indeed the initiation of the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
Judging from the stall owner to this cheeky person, Zhou Jianguo said that he was a complete profiteer, and he was indeed not wrong.
"Little brother, I'm from the Heavenly Master's Mansion, these two gossip mirrors were really brought out by me from the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and if you buy them, you will definitely not lose money." The stall owner also wanted to fool Zhou Jianguo.
Zhou Jianguo shook his head with a smile and said, "Boss, maybe these two gossip mirrors were indeed brought out by you from the Heavenly Master's Mansion, but if you want to say that they are magic weapons, then, hehe......."
Zhou Jianguo didn't say the rest of the words, the stall owner's face turned slightly red at this time, and after Zhou Jianguo's excuse for exposing the magic weapon, the stall owner knew that if he wanted a high price again, it would be impossible.
"What kind of background is this guy, he looks very young, but his eyesight and behavior, how can he look like an old fox in his thirties and forties, it's really difficult to deal with!" The stall owner thought to himself.
He would never have imagined that Zhou Jianguo's strength age (soul age) was indeed forty years old, and he was still an old fritter who had been in the future society for more than 20 years.
"Little brother, you are amazing, since you think the gossip mirror is not worth five thousand yuan, then you can tell me a price." The stall owner said directly.
"Although this gossip mirror is said to be from the Tang Dynasty, Taoist utensils are extremely unpopular in the antique shop, except for Taoist people, no one will be interested in these things, so I think the price of 300 yuan is just right. How's that, boss, do you think it's okay for the price? ”
"What, three hundred yuan, that's not good, no, three hundred yuan is too low, to put it mildly, three hundred yuan is not enough for me to bring them out of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, no, at least four thousand yuan!"
The stall owner shook his head very resolutely, but he also knew that Zhou Jianguo was a knowledgeable person, and, just like Zhou Jianguo said, things like gossip mirrors are quite unpopular in the antique shop, and if you want to sell them at sky-high prices, you don't even think about it, so he then lowered it by another thousand yuan.
"Four thousand? Boss, are you crazy, for 4,000 yuan, I can buy the top Tang Sancai, where do you still use it to sell your two gossip mirrors. However, I really like these two gossip mirrors, so I add a little more, how about five hundred yuan, I believe the price is high enough, after all, the Taoist gossip mirror is really too unpopular. If I didn't really like it, I wouldn't have looked at it. ”
Zhou Jianguo used various methods to constantly suppress the price, and in the end, he took the initiative to raise the price, of course, the range was very small, only from 300 yuan to 500 yuan.
Zhou Jianguo knew very well that from the moment he started asking the price, there was a war going on between him and the stall owner, a war with these two Tang Dynasty gossip mirrors as bait, and who won and who lost in the end depended on their respective means.
"Five hundred yuan, how much do you look down on these two gossip mirrors, don't forget, this is handed down from the Tang Dynasty, the two names of the Tang Dynasty alone are worth five hundred yuan, the price you opened is too low, I will not accept it." Although these two gossip mirrors are not magic weapons, they have also been cultivated in our Heavenly Master's Mansion for more than a thousand years, and they also have some magic weapon effects, and you only pay five hundred yuan for such a gossip mirror, isn't this an insult to it. If you want to buy it, you have to pay at least 3,500 yuan, otherwise, you don't want to buy these two gossip mirrors of the Tang Dynasty! ”
The stall owner also kept following the excuse to improve the pressure of the gossip mirror, and then increase the price, no, he directly put the name of a pseudo-magic weapon on these two gossip mirrors, which suddenly raised the style of these two gossip mirrors by a few grades.
Of course, this is just a means of bargaining, in order to sell, no, the stall owner still lowered the price by 500 yuan again.
And when Zhou Jianguo and the stall owner were bargaining, the black-hearted rat Hou San and Yuan Jie were standing not far away, secretly observing Zhou Jianguo's actions.
After seeing Zhou Jianguo start to bargain with the stall owner, the faces of the black-hearted rat Hou San and Yuan Jie suddenly appeared happy.
For the black-hearted rat Hou San, a good opportunity for him to get rich came, and for Yuan Jie, the opportunity for revenge and fortune came together.
However, Yuan Jie is still very smart, he didn't directly deal with Zhou Jianguo, he knew that once he came forward, Zhou Jianguo would definitely not be fooled, only by letting the black-hearted rat Hou San and the little brother next to him go up, he would be able to calculate Zhou Jianguo.
Yuan Jie was very direct, he found the black-hearted rat Hou San, first explained his identity, and then said to the black-hearted Hou San: "Hou San, this time, as long as you can calculate that damn loose cultivator, let him bleed ruthlessly, it is best to find a chance to pit this kid fiercely." As long as you succeed, I can call the shots and let you join the Iron Sword Gate, how about it? ”
In order to take revenge, Yuan Ming was quite generous.
The Iron Sword Sect is a first-class sect, and it is extremely difficult for ordinary martial artists to join in, not to mention a stained guy like Hou San, a black-hearted rat, if there is no Yuan Jie, he will not even want to join the Iron Sword Sect in the next life.
"Yuan Dashao, don't worry, Hou San will definitely help you handle this matter. It's just a casual practice, and I will definitely teach him a profound lesson that he will never forget. The black-hearted rat Hou San said excitedly.
This is the best opportunity to join the Iron Sword Gate, where will Hou San miss it.
Hou San knows very well that if he continues like this, what will happen in the future, he can already imagine it, I believe that it is either because of the calculation that some big people will be cleaned up, or they will be killed because of infighting between accomplices.
Hou San didn't want to end up like this, so he had been looking for a chance to get out, and now that Yuan Jie had sent this opportunity to the door, where would Hou San miss it.
He knew that it was very difficult to calculate Zhou Jianguo, otherwise, how could Yuan Jie, the eldest young master of the Iron Sword Sect, be at a loss until now, but this was his chance, as long as he could help Yuan Jie pit Zhou Jianguo ruthlessly, he would be stable for the rest of his life.
For the sake of a stable life for the rest of his life, Hou Sanhuo went out.
"Very good, Hou San, I, Yuan Jie, said to do it, I hope you don't let me down."
"Yuan Dashao, don't worry, my Hou San may not be very good in other aspects, but he is a young man in antiques, it is a matter of holding a handle, you can watch the show on the side!"
After saying this, Hou San, the black-hearted rat, walked towards Zhou Jianguo excitedly.
And Yuan Jie, the other younger brothers around him, continued to stay here to watch the play, and did not follow, so as not to arouse Zhou Jianguo's vigilance and lose this opportunity for revenge.
It's just that what they don't know is that they have long been under the surveillance of Zhou Jianguo's spiritual power, and their every move, word and deed is in Zhou Jianguo's 'sight'.
“...... Two thousand two hundred yuan, this is my last offer, if I can, I will pay now, if not, then forget it. At this price, I can buy a Tang Sancai, boss, if you don't agree again, I can only say sorry. ”
Zhou Jianguo said with a serious face, this price is indeed his last price, even if it is one dollar higher, Zhou Jianguo will not ask for it.
Two gossip mirrors from the Tang Dynasty, not those famous paintings of the Tang Dynasty, two thousand two hundred yuan is already the top price, if Zhou Jianguo really likes these two gossip mirrors, a thousand yuan, he would not ask for it.
The stall owner looked at Zhou Jianguo, he could see that this time Zhou Jianguo was indeed telling the truth, he wanted to talk about the price again, but he was afraid that he would really anger Zhou Jianguo, so he left, so in the end, the stall owner decided to accept it when he saw it.
Just like Zhou Jianguo said, although these two gossip mirrors are from the Tang Dynasty, but it is precisely because they are gossip mirrors, so the price basically does not come, under normal circumstances, that is, the price of seven or eight hundred yuan, this time if it were not for the stall owner to know that Zhou Jianguo likes these two gossip mirrors, the price will definitely not reach the price of two thousand two hundred yuan, and the transaction will be at most eight or nine hundred yuan.
"Okay, it's at this price, these two gossip mirrors from the Tang Dynasty are yours little brother." As he spoke, the stall owner took out two boxes, packed two gossip mirrors, and handed them to Zhou Jianguo.
Zhou Jianguo didn't say anything, took the two boxes with a smile, took out 4,400 yuan and handed them to the stall owner.
In fact, this price can be continued, Zhou Jianguo is confident that he can win it with a thousand yuan, but who said that the black-hearted rat Hou San is coming, if he arrives, then Zhou Jianguo should not say that he will take it with two thousand two hundred yuan, maybe he will have to use tens of thousands of yuan to be able to win.
There is one thing that Yuan Jie sees very accurately, that is, Zhou Jianguo really doesn't want to let what he likes, just like these two gossip mirrors of the Tang Dynasty, if Hou San comes to get involved, no matter how high Hou San's price is, Zhou Jianguo will follow until he buys these two gossip mirrors.
"Hou San, hehe, if you want to pit me, let's take a look, who is pit whom?" Thinking of this, a sinister smile appeared at the corner of Zhou Jianguo's mouth.
If it weren't for the fact that the stall owner was counting the money now and couldn't see the hint of a sinister smile on the corner of Zhou Jianguo's mouth, he would definitely be startled, and he would wonder if Zhou Jianguo had some conspiracy waiting for him.
Fortunately, the stall owner didn't see it while counting the money, otherwise, it's really hard to say what would have happened after that.
"Don't you want to use antiques to trick me, well, I'll also use antiques to play with you." Zhou Jianguo looked at an antique on the stall and already had an idea in his heart.
"Boss, how do you sell this ancient book?" Zhou Jianguo picked up an ancient book on the side and asked.
"Oh, this ancient book is not expensive, you can take it for five hundred yuan!" The stall owner said with a grin.
Zhou Jianguo is a big customer, he can make a pit.
The two gossip mirrors in front of them were sold for a unit price of more than two thousand yuan, and this ancient book had to be sold for two or three hundred yuan.
"......." Zhou Jianguo was extremely speechless, although this ancient book was from the Ming Dynasty, but this ancient book is a very ordinary, similar to the current notes of the same ancient book, and the person who wrote this ancient book is not a celebrity, such an ancient book, to be honest, in the antique market, it is generally three or five yuan a piece, and this stall owner, good guy, directly offered five hundred yuan.
"That's really treating me like a mallet!" Zhou Jianguo's heart was speechless, he knew that the reason why this stall owner would offer such an outrageous price was actually because of his own 'generosity' just now, so it was natural for him to offer such an outrageous sky-high price.
To be honest, if Zhou Jianguo hadn't wanted to use something in this ancient book to trap Hou San, he would have left directly now, of course, the gossip mirror made by Liu Bowen would definitely be taken away.
"Three!" Zhou Jianguo said lightly.
"This kid, a bit powerful, actually said the true price of this ancient book at once, it seems that he really likes the two gossip mirrors just now, so he will be so cheap for me." The stall owner thought to himself.
However, thinking so, he should knock Zhou Jianguo a sum of money, and he still continued to knock, so the stall owner quickly quoted a new price: "Four hundred yuan, this is an ancient book of the Ming Dynasty, the collection value is extremely high, four hundred yuan, you really earned it." ”
"Four hundred? Hehe, I don't want four hundred, just forty, I have hundreds of these ancient books over there, I will buy them for you, one is only forty. Zhou Jianguo came up with a killer idea, and directly killed the stall owner in one move.
"Grass (a plant), this kid is really amazing, it seems that this time I want to knock a stroke will not work." The stall owner was deflated, Zhou Jianguo said this, pointing out the true price of ancient books, if he insisted on the price of a few hundred yuan, it would not be a transaction, but a direct robbery.
No matter what the stall owner said, he was born in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and he still wanted some face, so he didn't say anything about the price of a few hundred yuan, and directly said that he would sell it to Zhou Jianguo for forty yuan.
However, Hou San has not yet arrived, so Zhou Jianguo and the stall owner began to bargain around this ancient book.
"Twenty yuan, the price of twenty yuan is my last price, if it weren't for the fact that this ancient book is a little interesting, even if you give it to me for five yuan, I have to think about it." It's twenty, and I don't want any more. Zhou Jianguo directly gave an ultimatum.
To be honest, at the price of 20 yuan, the stall owner can earn at least 15 yuan, so the stall owner was suddenly a little moved, thinking about whether it would be a deal like this.
However, the most shrewd merchant, he did not immediately nod in agreement, but began to pretend to think.
Zhou Jianguo was not in a hurry, or rather, he wished that the stall owner would not agree immediately, the protagonist Hou San had not yet entered, so Zhou Jianguo did not urge, just looked at the other party and waited for the stall owner to make a decision.
Of course, if the price stall owner really agreed, Zhou Jianguo would continue to lower the price, and he would not let this transaction be completed before Hou San arrived.
Fortunately, Zhou Jianguo is indeed God's cub, and when Hou San arrived, the stall owner did not agree to come down.
Very timely, next to Zhou Jianguo, another voice suddenly came, a voice that Zhou Jianguo had been looking forward to for a while.
"Boss, how much is this ancient book? The words on it are really good, and I can buy them back and use them as a copybook for my children. ”
This voice immediately broke the silence, and Zhou Jianguo and the stall owner both turned their heads to look over.
Zhou Jianguo knew very well that this person was Hou San, and he was now stretching out his hand to point to the ancient book, pretending to ask the price with a curious face, but did Zhou Jianguo know very well, this Hou San's eyes were actually mostly on his body, carefully observing his reaction.
Where would Zhou Jianguo disappoint Hou San, or rather, he wanted Hou San to think that he was an extremely proud person, only in this way, after the bidding price became higher, Hou San would be relieved to follow, otherwise, if Hou San saw his caution, it would be impossible for Zhou Jianguo to use this ancient book to pit Hou San.
"Hey, don't you know that this is a first-come, first-served basis, this ancient book is my favorite, what do you mean by bidding now?" Zhou Jianguo's mouth was very impulsive, and he reprimanded Hou Sansan, it seems that he is a person with a very angry temper.
"Joke, what you say is yours is yours, did you pay? No, so, this ancient book is still a commodity, since it is a commodity, you and I are qualified to buy it, you take care of it. Hou San also didn't back down at all.
He is quite shrewd and knows that when a person is angry, it is best to deal with it, and he is the easiest to be trapped, so he wants to anger Zhou Jianguo and make him lose his mind because of anger.
