Chapter 103: Pick This Trash? Fame is greater than strength!
"Damn, Brother Lang, who said this is made for you? This is what I want to eat myself! Xiaopang was stunned for a while, and when he saw that I had eaten most of the noodles, he couldn't help crying and laughing, "Brother, how long have you not eaten?" How did you starve like this? Those who don't know think you're a starving ghost reincarnated! ”
I said what you are twitting, don't you just have to do it again.
Estimate......
Last night I drank too much wine and vomited all the food I ate to make me so hungry.
But not to mention, after eating a bowl of hot noodles, the whole body will be warmer and more comfortable.
When I finished eating, I lit a cigarette and saw that Xiaopang had cooked a bowl again, and sat down in front of me to eat, so I asked him how I got back last night.
Xiaopang said: "Who knows you, I just fell asleep last night, you slammed the door at the door, I thought it was a crow they found it, as soon as I opened the door, I saw you drunk inside, without saying a word, I jumped on the bed, snoring and snoring, so noisy that I didn't fall asleep in the second half of the night!" ”
"Uh, I'm still snoring?" I touched my nose in embarrassment and said, "I thought I never snored!" ”
"Cut, people who snore say they don't fight." Chubby pursed his lips, pointed to a place, and said, "By the way, your phone has been ringing since six o'clock in the morning, and I'm annoyed to listen to it, so I'm muting it for you." ”
I groaned and quickly grabbed my phone from the table.
At first glance, there were really more than a dozen missed calls.
Five of them were called by Chairman Liu, and it is estimated that the negotiations with Liu Shouguo have been fruitful.
The other seven were called by Ruoxue, and one was called by Qiuya.
I thought about it for a while, and took the lead in giving Qiu Ya a back in the past.
It's a pity that no one can connect to two of them, and I don't know what Qiu Ya is doing......
Probably still in class, muted off, didn't notice.
Alas!
It's better to wait until lunch or evening when she's free, and I'll call again.
I sighed secretly and could only call President Liu back.
Wait for the call to be connected.
I smiled and said, "President Liu, I'm really sorry, I drank too much wine last night, and I'm only waking up now." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, young people, it's normal to spend all day drinking, and I was like this when I was young!" President Liu smiled, and then went straight to the point and said, "At five o'clock this morning, I will come to Boss Liu to negotiate!" Hehe, if you call later, I guess I'll have to get up and go home. ”
Hearing this, I knew that Chairman Liu was hinting at me, that he was in Liu Shouguo's antique shop, and that the call might be on hands-free, meaning that I should pay more attention to what I said.
I said, "Oh? So what does he mean? Will he give this money or not? ”
"Ahem, Shen Lang, don't worry!" President Liu said: "I also talked to Boss Liu here, he does have some financial difficulties, and he can't give you five million for a while, but ...... For my sake, he is willing to give you two million first! As for the rest of the money...... He said either you could pick up one or two things from his shop! If you really ask for it, alas, it's not that he won't give it to you, but you really can't take it out! ”
It can be seen that Chairman Liu's attitude has really changed after going to talk to Liu Shouguo face-to-face.
You must know that he swore to me yesterday that he could let Liu Shouguo hand over all the five million, and if he didn't hand it over, he would report it to the association.
As a result, the current rhetoric is much softer, and there is a sense of wanting to be a peacemaker between me and Liu Shouguo, and let us each take a step back.
But, then again, you can't blame Chairman Liu for anything.
It's good that he's willing to come forward to negotiate for me.
As the head of the antique industry, of course, he can't pull the shelf.
Otherwise, the news will have a negative impact on his reputation.
Therefore, you still have to be sober up a little bit, you can't take others seriously, and you can't take yourself too seriously.
I said: It's okay to make up for the lack of money, but ...... The goods in his store have been left untouched, to keep the real and fake, to the expensive and cheap, not to mention that I pick two at random, I'm afraid I pick fifty kinds of antiques, and the total value is less than one million, right?! If that's the case, President Liu, I don't think I need to talk about it!
There was silence on the phone for a while.
I don't know if Chairman Liu deliberately went to the display cabinet to take a look.
After a long time, he said to me: "Hey, you can rest assured about this, little brother Shen, since I am here at the scene, I will not let this situation happen, I will let Boss Liu take out all the goods in their store later!" However, how much is the final value of the two things you pick, it depends purely on your eyesight, I want a bowl of water to be flat, say hello to you in advance, if you pick only worth tens of thousands of yuan or even look worthless, you have to consider yourself unlucky! ”
Although, the outcome of this negotiation is still unfair to me, and I should insist on cashing in and getting five million, but ...... I really don't bother to keep entanglement with people like Liu Shouguo, so I can only reluctantly accept it.
Thinking of this, I immediately said that no problem, I'll come over now.
Half an hour later.
I came to Liu's antique shop as promised.
I saw that at the tea table in the living room, Chairman Liu was drinking tea with Liu Shouguo.
As soon as President Liu saw me appear, he quickly got up with a smile, "Hehe, little brother Shen, you're here!" ”
"Well, President Liu, it's really hard for you to make a trip to this kind of trivial matter and wait for me for so long!" I greeted him politely, but my eyes looked at the antiques on the display case.
As far as the eye can see, I can see that there are indeed many more of these antiques in terms of number and variety than I saw last time.
As if noticing my gaze, Liu Shouguo, who was sitting there with Erlang's legs crossed, sneered: "This time I am looking at President Liu's face, otherwise your kid would not have this opportunity!" Not to mention two million, it was already very polite that I was willing to give you 500,000 at that time! ”
The implication is that if I didn't have the relationship with President Liu, he would throw me hundreds of thousands of dollars at most, and he wouldn't lose so much money at all, let alone take out all the goods for me to pick.
I retorted with a disdainful face: "Hmph, I'm also looking at President Liu's face, otherwise...... With your attitude yesterday, I would have smashed your shop a long time ago, and it would not be your turn to sit here leisurely drinking tea and bragging. ”
"You!!" Liu Shouguo slapped the table angrily, stared at me angrily and shouted, "What the, do you have the ability to smash one?!" I've really given you face, haven't I? ”
I was about to keep squirting him.
President Liu hurriedly ran to the middle of us to play a round, "Oh, you guys...... Alas, I've almost negotiated with you, why do you want to fight and kill when you meet? Both of you are dissipated and angry, and you can make money in harmony! ”
As he spoke, he patted me on the shoulder, "Okay, little brother Shen, I know you're uncomfortable, but since Boss Liu's son lost to you in the gambling contract, this debt will have to be repaid no matter what, and Boss Liu won't cheat, so you go around the store first and see if there are any favorite items!" ”
"Hmm!"
I nodded, too lazy to bother with Liu Shouguo, and walked around the store on my own, focusing on these antique objects.
After a general glance, I saw that many things were still fakes, and the real thing was not even a tenth, but the one that finally had the right eye was not of much value, at most a hundred thousand.
Fuck, it seems that Liu Shouguo, the old fox, still hasn't taken out the real guy, or wants to fool me with this garbage, really treat me as a little white? Think I don't understand anything?
"How about Little Brother Shen? Do you like it after watching it around? While I was looking around, Chairman Liu's eyes burned and he asked.
It is estimated that he was kept in the dark, and he didn't know that Liu Shouguo had already moved his heart on these objects, and thought that I could pick up any leaks like in the antique exhibition.
I pouted, trying to complain that everything here was rubbish.
Suddenly, I must have noticed an inky turtle shell in a corner.
The surface of this shell is very fine, with delicate lines that do not seem to have formed naturally, and it is clearly organized and brightly colored, almost the size of two fists.
But it's not the surface that catches my eye.
Because many turtle shells used for collection will be smeared with a lot of oil and even medicine, so as to make them less perishable and maintain this luster for a hundred years, in other words, even with modern technology, there are many ways to make any kind of turtle shell on the market become like this, which is not an uncommon thing.
The reason why I noticed it is because the shape of this turtle shell is a little strange, its front and back mouths are actually pasted with black mud, which is very different from the turtle shells that are usually seen, and ordinary people will not be idle to seal the mouth of the turtle shell.
Thinking of this, I quietly leaned in, picked up the turtle shell and looked up and down.
I saw that not only the front and back openings were pasted with black mud, but all other places with holes were sealed, but when I knocked on them with my hand, I could clearly hear that the inside was hollow, that is, the maker did not use black mud to stuff the entire inside of the turtle shell.
But the more this happens, the more it means that there is a problem, not filled, only sealed? Is it to hide something inside? Otherwise, there is no need to waste effort on a turtle shell.
"Little Brother Shen, what are you doing with those useless turtle shells? Come on, come on, how do you look at this jade Ruyi? Just when I was secretly pondering, President Liu not far away thought that I couldn't see the baby, and after a round trip, he smiled and pointed to a jade Ruyi on the display cabinet at the door.
I also saw that jade Ruyi at first, but it's a pity...... Although the workmanship is good, its own material is unsatisfactory, and it can only be regarded as a work of art, to say antiques...... I'm afraid it's far from it, and the overall value is at most two or three hundred thousand.
Seriously, since I was asked to pick two items to offset the three million that he couldn't afford to give, if each of these things was less than seven or eight hundred thousand, I would feel like a blood loss.
So I shook my head and said to Chairman Liu, I'd better take another look.
I think I can bet on this turtle shell.
Just bet on whether it has anything valuable in it.
If there is nothing, I will admit it.
"Huh? Little Brother Shen, you don't want Yu Ruyi, what do you want this turtle shell for? Even if this thing was handed down from the Tang Dynasty, it wouldn't be worth a lot of money! "When President Liu saw me take the turtle shell, he couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
After all, many antiques and antiques are valuable not only because of dynasties, history, workmanship and other factors, but also because their homogenization is not serious, but the turtle shell is different, handed down from the Tang Dynasty, and modern technology can be completely reproduced, with a similarity of up to 99%.
For example, if you spend a million to buy a hundred-year-old turtle shell, and I spend a hundred yuan to buy a modern retro handicraft, and also take it out, you say yours is worth more than me? Why? I also said that my turtle shell is also hundreds of years old! Unbelief is more delicate than whose shell?
Those who buy antiques are not stupid, whether they are bought to collect or buy to pretend, these things are also of a grade.
"Hahaha......" At the tea table, Liu Shouguo noticed what I was holding, and couldn't help laughing out loud, the laughter was full of sarcasm, "President Liu, you don't understand this!" He still has a vision, and he immediately picked the treasure of our store! This turtle shell symbolizes longevity and auspiciousness, just so he can take it back and report peace, so as not to be hacked by others one day because he is too arrogant! ”
I could tell that he was threatening me.
However, I didn't bother to take care of him, and while continuing to look for other items in the store, I said to President Liu: "It's okay, just take this turtle shell, but let's go around like this...... I'm quite disappointed with this so-called Liu's antiques, but it's also known as the top three big stores in Hangzhou, but the house is full of cheap junk goods, hehe, it's not as good as those small traders outside the antique exhibition, at least they cheat and cheat above board. ”
"This ......" How could Chairman Liu not hear that I was scolding Huai in a weird way, and for a while I was caught between me and Liu Shouguo.
On the contrary, it was Liu Shouguo, he smiled coldly and said: "If you don't have the ability, don't blame me for the goods here!" How can people pick up things that they like and are valuable, but you can only look at a king eight shells? After all, it's not that you don't have any use for your eggs? ”
I said that no matter how useless it is, it is much more useful than you old thing, at least I will not be so poor that I can't even pay five million, so I can only guard a pile of garbage and cheat and cheat just rotten money! Not to mention that he is not like your son, who has no ability, and likes to pretend to be forced in front of women, but in front of so many bosses, he lies on the ground and licks his shoes, and after losing the bet, he doesn't even dare to show up.
"You!! What the fuck are you still picking? If you don't pick it, get out of here! "Obviously, my words have completely broken his defenses, and not only have they damaged him, but they have also taken out the ugly thing that his son had humiliated him.
I laughed and mocked, "What are you anxious about?" It's really that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry! ”
"Grass!" Liu Shouguo yelled and wanted to get up and curse.
President Liu hurriedly said, "Oh, I said you two...... Can you say a few words less? Is it here to solve the problem or to curse? ”
As he spoke, he looked at me and said that it was better to pick it quickly, and after solving the matter here, he would go back to the antique exhibition that the association would continue to organize.
I nodded slightly, quickly walked around to a display case, picked up a printed porcelain vase, and said, "Don't pick it, just these two!" ”
It's not that this printed porcelain vase is outstanding, it's that there is nothing to pick in this pile of garbage, in comparison, this porcelain vase is better than the jade Ruyi that President Liu recommended to me before in both quality and all aspects.
"President Liu, you can give an estimate of these two things!"
"Well, it's still the old rule, you want to cash it all out?"
"That's right! It's useless for me to keep them, it's better to keep the money in my hands! ”
"Okay!"
President Liu nodded, immediately took out his tools, and sat at the tea table to observe the two things carefully.
It took more than 20 minutes before he took off his glasses and told me with a serious face that this printed porcelain vase was probably imitated by the people in the late Qing Dynasty, and the price would not be too high, at most about 700,000 yuan.
"As for this turtle shell ......," he said, he turned his eyes and said in a rather helpless tone: "Alas, with all due respect, you may have to be blind, this thing is a very ordinary turtle shell, and the outside is covered with a layer of black mud, and no one may want hundreds of pieces!" ”
"Hahaha......" As soon as the words fell, Liu Shouguo next to him couldn't help laughing out loud, "I thought you had some unique vision, but it turned out to be nothing more than that!" Wasted more than an hour, and actually chose a king eight shells of more than 100 yuan, hahaha......"
