Chapter 127 The Mystery Shopper

Shen Qiu and Xie Jingwen hurried back to the store.

When I arrived at the door of the store, I saw two women wrapped in silk scarves and wearing sunglasses.

These two women were wearing antique cheongsams, one had short hair, the other had curly hair, and their figures were slightly thin. Even though their faces were tightly wrapped with silk scarves, it was still possible to tell that they were older. Roughly speaking, it should be about 60 years old.

"Xiaoqi, Xiaogang! How do you do things? Why don't you pour tea and water for customers, and let them stand here?" Xie Jingwen first complained to the two young people when they entered the door.

"Miss Xiaowen, the two of you said you would wait here for your return...the tea was poured, and you two insisted on waiting at the door for your return..."

"Boss Xie, Master Shen, don't blame them, we are a little impatient, so we waited for you to come back at the door!" The short-haired woman said.

As soon as she opened her mouth, Shen Qiu felt that this person's tone of voice was somewhat familiar: "This...Aren't you the sister Mei who sold things in our shop last time?"

Even though this girl was wrapped in a silk scarf and had changed her hairstyle, Shen Qiu recognized her at a glance as Sister Mei.

Speaking of which, Sister Mei can be regarded as Shen Qiu's noble person. At the beginning, Sister Mei made Qianlong's seal and copybook. Later, Cao Donglai cheated on Sister Mei's money against his conscience.

"Shen Qiu! It's still your eyes that are poisonous. It's been so long and you still remember me as an old woman! It's not easy!"

Xie Jingwen also followed suit: "So it's Sister Mei! I'm sorry, I didn't recognize her when I walked in. Xiaogang and Xiaoqi will serve you good tea!"

Only then did Sister Mei take off the silk scarf, and the long-haired lady behind her also took off the silk scarf. She was about the same age as Sister Mei, and their facial features were somewhat similar.

"Come here! Let me introduce you." Sister Mei pulled the sisters beside her and said, "This is Liu Xiu, my good sister. She has a very good relationship with me. I want to sell a treasure recently, so I decided to Let me help you find out, of course my first choice is your Xuanbaozhai! Your vision is top-notch, you are innocent, and the price is very fair!"

"Yes, yes." Liu Xiu nodded and said in agreement: "My family is in business, and I have encountered a shortage of funds recently, so I want to sell the treasures inherited from my family, hoping to use this funds to make up for it. There is a vacancy in business, I heard that Xuanbaozhai is doing business fairly, so Sister Mei and I came here..."

Xie Jingwen and Shen Qiu looked at each other and smiled. Originally, they were worried about the identity of this mysterious customer, but they felt more at ease when they saw that it was the customer brought by Sister Mei. Doing business must be based on honesty. Only when you are sincere to customers, will customers treat you I give my heart to you.

Liu Xiu was a little nervous, and escaped from her bag with a square orange wooden box. The box was made of ordinary poplar wood, and there was not much decoration on the outside. The shape of the box looked very ordinary.

"Master Shen, Boss Xie, let me just say it straight." Liu Xiu said, "This item is a treasure handed down from my family for generations. My ancestor bought it from a craftsman for 500 taels of silver. It came back, according to the year and month, this treasure should be something from the Xianfeng era of the Qing Dynasty..."

Shen Qiu nodded in response: "Well, the 500 taels of silver in the Xianfeng period, if you look at it now, it would be at least 80 to [-] taels, which was indeed a considerable sum at that time."

"What about me! Because my family is short of money, I have already gone to two antique shops. They all said that the things I bought were fake, and they all said that this thing was a modern handicraft, and it cost a few thousand yuan at most. I It’s true that I’m not lying, I swear this thing is definitely something handed down from our ancestors, if I wasn’t in a hurry to spend money, I wouldn’t take it out and realize it.”

Shen Qiu could tell that this Eldest Sister Liu had no confidence in her baby, and she was rejected by two antique shops one after another, so she lacked confidence in her heart, and her facial expression was a little nervous.

Xie Jingwen comforted her heartily and said, "Don't worry, Sister Liu, if others veto it, it doesn't mean there is something wrong with it. If it is really handed down from your ancestors, I believe that the collection itself will not deceive people!"

"Yes, yes! Liu Xiu! Master Shen and Boss Xie have absolutely nothing to say about their character." Sister Mei pulled Liu Xiu to comfort her, "Last time, they personally sent me compensation!"

After being enlightened by these people in turn, Liu Xiu's nervousness was relieved even more, and she carefully knocked open the orange box, revealing a jet-black stone.

This stone is about the size of an ordinary brick, with silvery white spots reflected in the pitch black. If you look carefully at the shape of this stone, it is uneven, and its outline looks like two continuous mountain peaks.

"I see! This is a decoration!"

Xiaogang recognized it at a glance: "This is still a stone sculpture, a stone sculpture carved using the special shape of this stone. The overall shape of the stone is good. The sculptor only made the most basic modifications on it, which formed A sculpture in the shape of a mountain! But this..."

Xiao Gang only said half of what he said and stopped talking, Shen Qiu and Xie Jingwen can basically see the difference.

The overall observability of this black stone sculpture is mediocre, because it is all black, so the overall appearance is not very beautiful. The carving technique is considered to be superior, and it has a certain collection value, but it is far from reaching the tens of millions level. As for whether it is an old thing or not, it may not be obvious in a while.

"How about it, Master Shen! How about this sculpture?" Sister Mei couldn't wait to ask Shen Qiu.

Shen Qiu touched it with his hands, and said to Xie Jingwen: "Boss Xie, please tell me your opinion first?"

Xie Jingwen pondered for a while and said: "From my point of view, this stone sculpture is indeed an old thing. I saw it just now. The bottom of the sculpture is signed by the master, Shi Zhongren. The master's reputation is average, and it is limited to a certain degree of popularity in Jiangcheng. My shop in Xuanbaozhai once sold one of his works of the smiling Buddha. I remember that the selling price at that time was 18w. This sculpture... ..."

Xie Jingwen didn't have the nerve to continue talking, and the implication couldn't be clearer. Although this item is an antique, it is far from worth that much money. In other words, the collection that Liu Xiu's ancestors bought for 500 taels of silver may be It was cheated by others, and the value of this black stone sculpture is different from the value of the Buddha statue, so it cannot be generalized.

"18w?" Liu Xiu hesitated, obviously not satisfied with the price, but it was much better than the previous two antique shops, one offered [-] and the other [-].

But the gap in her family is far from being able to make up for 18w. She always thought that this black stone carving could be sold for tens of millions.

"Okay, okay! Liu Xiu! Don't be too sad. You have seen the price given by Xuan Baozhai. It is much more generous than the owners of the two antique shops! Boss Xie, the final price of this ornament will be determined. Is it at 18?"

"Okay, I can give it up to 18w." Xie Jingwen was actually not very happy to give this price. If the 18w is taken back, basically there will be no profit, and it may even be hoarded and cannot be sold.

But considering that this business was introduced by Sister Mei, most of the factors were due to her trust and gratitude to Sister Mei.

"But there is a big gap in my family. It takes at least 500 million to barely escape the difficulties. Hey... my sister! What do you think I should do now! If the money is not paid in a few days, the factory will be closed down It's over! I'm all counting on this baby to help tide me over, but now..."

"It's a little bit if we can make up a little bit. Let's find a way for the rest. Thank you boss for helping her sign the contract. Although Liu Xiu's expectations were not met, I still thank you. The price you gave is ten times higher than the other two. How much! There are really not many businesses in the Jiangcheng antique world like you, and I will introduce business to Xuan Baozhai in the future!"

"Wait a minute!"

Then at this moment, Shen Qiu grabbed Xie Jingwen's arm: "18w? I don't agree with this price!"

what……

Chapter 128 I Disagree

The few people present were suddenly cheered up, they didn't expect Shen Qiu to object to this price.

"Shen Qiu!" Xie Jingwen tugged at the corner of Shen Qiu's clothes and muttered: "We really have no money to make at the price of 18w, and there is a high probability that we will lose money. Let's forget it this time! Quan regard it as a thank you to Sister Mei Well, it doesn't matter if we suffer a little."

Sister Mei and Liu Xiu also looked a little embarrassed, especially Sister Mei, she had always had a good impression of Shen Qiu, especially last time she offended the master chef in the shop and redeemed her losses, which moved her heart a lot. But the Shen Qiu in front of him with a gloomy face and serious expression obviously did not agree with the price of 18w.

"What I want to tell you is that I disagree with the value of this ornament at 18w. According to my experience! The value of this ornament should be in the range of 2000w!"

2000w?

There was a woman and a Xiaogang at the scene, and they all made surprise sounds at the same time, especially Sister Mei and Liu Xiu, who couldn't believe their ears at all: "Shen Qiu? What are you talking about? You said that the price of this ornament in our hands is 2000w? Shen Qiu, are you sure?"

"Shen Qiu..."

Xie Jingwen's mind has always been calm, and she also knows Shen Qiu's behavior style. He always doesn't follow the routine, but she is very sure about this ornament. She is sure that the words are not mistaken. This is Shi Zhongren's sculpture. This person is not well-known, and the carver is not top-notch, so it is impossible to say that the price is 2000w!

"Miss, Sister Mei, Sister Liu, let me say it again, the price of this ornament is at least in the 2000w range. On the contrary, it is worth the money!”

"Ah... This... Is this real? Master Shen? I... We..." Liu Xiu couldn't restrain her excitement when she heard Shen Qiu's words. She never thought of this in her dreams. Sculpture can actually buy 2000w.

"No! Brother Shen?" Zhu Xiaogang couldn't help but interjected curiously: "Brother Shen, forgive me for my ignorance, this antique was in the Xianfeng era of the Qing Dynasty, and the craftsman who made it was not well-known? The value of 2000w? Brother Shen, can you explain clearly."

Shen Qiu placed the black ornament on the palm of his hand again: "I know the doubts in your hearts, so let me briefly tell you about the most critical part of this sculpture. First of all, I agree with the eldest lady's point of view. The author should undoubtedly be Shi Zhongren. This person’s reputation is not enough to qualify as a master, and the age is also correct. Basically, it was in the early Xianfeng period. What is left of the sculpture? That is this sculpture material!"

Shen Qiu held the sculpture in his hand and spun around in front of several people. Zhu Xiaogang shook his head again and again: "Brother Shen! The precious materials are nothing more than jade, emerald, Shoushan stone, gold and silver, etc., unless the sculpture is made of diamonds." Otherwise, the price of 2000w is far from possible!"

"That's right! The precious materials are nothing more than the types you mentioned, but the sculpture in front of us does not belong to it. This kind of stone should be called Tianshi in the Qing Dynasty! That is what we often mention in science now. The meteorite that arrived! It is also known as the stone from beyond the sky!"

Xie Jingwen suddenly realized, no wonder Shen Qiu wanted to call out the sky-high price of 2000w, so this black stone is a meteorite that fell from the world?

Shen Qiu continued: "Meteorites have a characteristic. They are cold all over, and the material is hard. They will not rot for thousands of years, and will not change flowers for thousands of years. Even in today's civilized society, meteorites are rare treasures. At the end of last year, there was An old American rich man bought a ten-kilogram meteorite for $3000 million."

"The sculpture in front of us is even more astonishing. The master carver used the unique shape of this stone to find a new way to complete this special work. Don't look at Shi Zhongren's simple work on it. In fact, the carving is extremely difficult to make. It is as difficult as the sky to carve an ordinary repair knife on this stone. Shi Zhongren carved it into a handicraft, and it would take at least half a year to carve and carve... ..."

"Take a step back, even if this piece of Heitian stone is not a sculpture, just such a piece of black meteorite can be sold at a price of more than 1000 million yuan in international commerce. We always appraise antiques based on their artistic value. Lord, but this sculpture is just the opposite, its most valuable part is the material!"

"Wow! Brother Shen! You have seen it all! You are too good!" Zhu Xiaogang clicked on the phone screen and said: "I checked the information on Baidu, and the money of more than 200 years has indeed fallen in our Jiangcheng area. After a meteorite, it is in the area of ​​Xiaohai Town now, and it happens that Shi Zhongren himself is a villager of Xiaohai Town! All the details correspond to it!"

"Good good good good! This is so good!" Liu Xiu couldn't help crying: "Thank you, Master Shen! Thank you so much! Thank you for saving our whole family! This money is really life-saving for us Money!"

Xie Jingwen also let out a long sigh of relief: "Two big sisters, I'm sorry! I didn't see it just now, I'm sorry, if it wasn't for Shen Qiu's reminder, I might have missed it too! I'm really sorry!"

"It's okay girl! It's not your fault! You are the best girl! Shen Qiu is the best appraiser!"

……

As the evening approached, Hei Tianshi officially signed it to Xuan Baozhai with a guaranteed price of 2000 million yuan, with a minimum guarantee of 2000 million and no upper limit!

After handling all the contract instructions, Xie Jingwen was deeply moved, and couldn't help but have a sore nose: "Shen Qiu... It seems that God still has eyes, and sent me a sculpture of Heitianshi at this critical moment! Xuan Baozhai finally I can stand up again! Thank you, Shen Qiu..."

Shen Qiu winked at Xie Jingwen: "Miss! It's not enough to just say thank you, you know I've been craving that for a long time..."

Shen Qiu glanced at Xie Jingwen's body, and said something half-jokingly.

"Bastard Shen Qiu, what are you thinking! Did you make more progress after just complimenting you? You shameless rascal!"

Xie Jingwen chased after to pinch Shen Qiu, Shen Qiu hurriedly explained: "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah what's wrong I'm just greedy for hot pot! Why are you chasing me to beat me!"

……

On the last night before the Treasure Appreciation Conference, Xuan Baozhai got a treasure as he wished. Xie Jingwen wept with joy and invited Shen Qiu and two shop assistants to eat hot pot to celebrate.

"Brother Shen! Tell me! Can the sculpture of Heitianshi help Xuanbaozhai win the championship of this treasure appreciating competition? Judging from the rarity of Heitianshi, I think the price of 2000w is more than that!" Zhu Xiaogang checked the information and analyzed: "In my opinion, it can be worth at least [-] million yuan! It is fully qualified to be equal to Zhang Manguo's dragon and phoenix totem!"

Xiaoqi also excitedly fantasized and said: "Sister Xiaowen, Master Shen, if Xuanbaozhai wins the treasure appreciating competition, then Xuanbaozhai will be reborn from the ashes, and will become the leading big shop in Jiangcheng from then on." !"

Shen Qiu shook his head and said: "It's fine to win the championship. Although the material of this black sky stone is rare, in terms of various factors at that time, it can't be compared with the dragon and phoenix totem at all. It can't even be compared with Shen Jin's Kangxi pastel Buddha statue. The focus is on hiding, don't expect to win the championship, as long as Li Jialong sees it, our Xuan Baozhai will be satisfied!"

The four people in Xuanbaozhai were happily eating hot pot, and they were full of longing for the upcoming treasure appreciation conference tomorrow.

However, at this juncture, a group of people suddenly broke in from outside the hot pot restaurant. Facing the murder weapon, more than a dozen people rushed to Shen Qiu's table with murderous looks on their faces, and instantly killed Shen Qiu and Xie Jingwen. Individuals surrounded.

"I'm in a good mood! Still eating hot pot here? Hehe!"

The big-headed man let out a cold snort, opened his eyes and glared at Shen Qiu angrily. This person was none other than the young master of the Shen family, Shen Jin.

Shen Jin's eyes were red, and the group of people behind him were also aggressive, obviously they were all targeting Shen Qiu!
