The best little magician in the countryside

Chapter 254 I Want This Painting

After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Luo Yanran sneered: "Get rich overnight? How can there be such a good thing!"

Jiang Chen shrugged and smiled: "A lot of people said before that if you want to get rich overnight, apart from doing some illegal things, you only have to go to antique shops or buy lottery tickets. Not many."

"So, I think that the classic quote popular on the Internet is quite correct."

"What classic quotations?" Luo Yanran asked curiously.

Jiang Chen said with a smile: "Do you want to make a lot of money every day? Do you want to get rich overnight? Then... go to sleep!"

"Hahaha!"

When Luo Yanran heard this, she immediately covered her mouth and laughed.

Although it sounds like a funny sentence, it is extremely true.

There are very few people who can get rich overnight, but it is very easy to realize in their dreams.

While speaking, the two of them had already walked into the street with the crowd.

There are many stalls on the street, but the things on them are too messy.

Not only are there some mutilated bottles and jars, but there are also some classic books that have been rummaged through or some weird things that can't be named at all.

Luo Yanran's delicate eyes swept over them, but there was nothing that could interest her.

"That shop seems to have quite a lot of people." Jiang Chen pointed to the shop not far away and smiled.

Luo Yanran followed what he pointed to, it was a shop called 'Baoge'.

At this time, the population has piled up with a lot of people, and everyone is very excited.

Luo Yanran smiled and said, "Let's go and have a look too."

Jiang Chen nodded, and walked forward together with Luo Yanran.

When I got to the front, I realized that most of the people gathered here were just watching the fun, but there were only a few people who actually went in to buy treasures.

Jiang Chen and the others squeezed into the crowd and walked inside together.

The store is large and roughly divided into three areas.

Most of the cabinets in front of the left wall are porcelain, and there are mostly calligraphy and paintings on the right wall.

On the shelves in the middle are some metal or jade antiques.

At this time, four or five people were surrounded by a table of eight immortals in the middle.

They are all looking at the few antiques on the table with burning eyes.

A man who looked like a boss next to him smiled and said, "These are all new items from Beidu recently. Opportunities are rare, you guys have to seize the opportunity!"

Everyone beside them nodded, some held small torches, some held magnifying glasses, and carefully observed several antiques.

And just when Jiang Chen and the others walked to the Eight Immortals table after looking at the objects around them, a middle-aged man in his fifties smiled wistfully: "As expected of the things from the northern capital, most of them are An authentic product in good condition."

"Oh? Mr. Xu has finished reading it?" The shop owner smiled.

The man named Mr. Xu nodded slightly, pointed to the object in front of him that resembled a wine glass and said: "This object is called a glazed cup, and it is slightly different from the glazed cups we usually see. Just look at its fineness and quality." The whole body is in one piece and presents a purple-gold color, which is made of the rarest purple heart jade."

"According to some historical records, such objects only appeared in the Qianlong period, and there was only one pair in the entire court!"

When the bystanders heard it, they immediately showed a look of surprise.

A limited number of glazed cups from the Qianlong period?

This is a treasure!

"I want this thing!" Before everyone could react, a middle-aged woman next to him raised a finger: "100 million."

"Hmph, who would disgust such a rare thing with a million people??"

Mr. Xu sneered and looked at the boss: "I'll offer 300 million!"

Seeing that the others did not intend to increase the price, the boss smiled and said, "Okay, this bottle of glass will belong to Mr. Xu. Don't be discouraged. There are a lot of antiques today, and everyone will be able to find the treasure you want!"

Mr. Xu cupped his hands at everyone: "Everyone, I've made the concession. Since I won the opening ceremony, I won't compete with you for the rest. But after all, we have been in this antique circle for more than ten years, and our eyesight is still good." For some, if you choose the treasure, I can palm your eyes for you."

As soon as his words fell, a young man next to him picked up a scroll and said with a smile: "Mr. I'll look at the picture."

Mr. Xu looked at the painting scroll that was unfolding slowly, first sized it up carefully, and then commented: "The signature on this painting is for Tang Bohu, and the meaning of this painting is quite in the style of his old man, but..."

The young man frowned slightly: "Just what?"

"The content of this painting is incompatible with the things Tang Bohu painted in his life. In addition, the color of this painting looks a little light and yellowish, as if it has faded, so I think it should be imitated by modern painters. It's just a random painting made by Tang Bohu's painting style."

When the young man heard this, his expression darkened immediately: "Does that mean this is a fake?"

"That's right." Mr. Xu nodded proudly, as if he was satisfied with his evaluation.

"Damn, almost bought it!"

The young man directly threw the scroll aside as if he was unlucky.

And the people next to him stopped looking at the painting.

Seeing this scene, the shop owner glared at Mr. Xu with some displeasure.

After he said this, the painting immediately became worthless, and I am afraid that no one will buy it for a long time.

But after all, they just bought a glazed cup worth 300 million yuan, so they can't express their dissatisfaction now.

Suppressing his anger, he walked to the table, ready to roll up the painting.

But before scrolling by a third, Jiang Chen suddenly strode over and put his hand on the scroll.

"This painting...I want it!"

His voice was not loud, but everyone in Baoge heard it.

In an instant, they all cast complicated expressions towards him.

There is puzzlement and ridicule.

Some people don't understand what Jiang Chen is thinking, even though this Master Xu has said it's a fake painting, he still wants to buy it.

But some people are not so kind.

In their eyes, Jiang Chen is just a fool.

It's all said to be a fake, but you still want to buy it. Could it be that your brain was kicked by a donkey?
And his sudden appearance naturally made the boss startled.

Just as I was thinking about not being able to sell it, someone took advantage of me and stood up.

He smiled cheerfully: "One look at this little brother is different. Seeing that you are so straightforward, I will give you a [-]% discount. Just give me [-] for this painting!"

After his words fell, everyone looked at him with disdain.

It's all said to be a fake, but you dare to ask for a price of [-]!

Apart from despising the boss, most people also looked at Jiang Chen.

The meaning revealed in the eyes is all: now even a fool can't buy this painting, right?
However, Jiang Chen's actions greatly exceeded their expectations.

Not only did he not refuse, but he took the painting from the boss's hand, and while taking the money from his pocket, he said flatly, "Deal!"
