The Book of Appreciation

Ivory carvings in the early Qing Dynasty?The New Era Republic is not far behind!Hearing that the boss ran the train with his mouth full, Wu Di didn't care. These people almost all do business in this way, especially the two of them. At first glance, they look like sheep who don't know anything. There is no reason not to hurry up. ?He smiled and asked:

"Boss, how much are you going to sell this for?"

The boss had already noticed Wu Di and the military adviser behind him. From his point of view, this man and woman should be a rich couple, and they are not ordinary rich. .Because not only do they bring bodyguards with them when they go shopping, but the bodyguards are also very professional and have a clear division of labor. Not only do people follow them into the store, but they even guard the door.

"This is the treasure of our store, and it is not considered for sale at present. If you two like ivory carvings, I have a few more here. Why don't you take a look first?"

The boss decided to take a gamble. Instead of quoting directly, he first stated that the item was not for sale.If they really liked him, they would never let him go lightly just because he said he was the treasure of the store.He is very confident that this kind of affectation is definitely much better than asking a high price at the beginning.

"Oh, don't sell it, forget it, let's go, let's look at other things."

The boss was not in a hurry when he heard this, and said with a smile:

"That's fine, you can go around casually first, if you don't see a suitable one, welcome back. This thing was collected by chance ten years ago. It has been a long time, and I have feelings when I look at it. Someone asked me before. Excessive price, I reported it a few times, but I was scared away, and then I got angry, so I simply regarded it as the treasure of the town store! Hehe, this treasure, I still haven’t met anyone who is destined!”

Seeing Meng Yao's raised eyebrows, Wu Di seemed to be about to ask the price, so he held her back with a light smile,

"Hehe, let's just take a look at it casually. Since the price is relatively high, let's forget it. Let's go around first."

Under the slightly regretful eyes of the boss, Wu Di pulled Meng Yao out of the store,

"Adi, it's okay to ask the price if you don't buy it? Does the ivory carving he mentioned mean ivory?"

"Ivory carving generally refers to ivory, but his one is not an ivory carving, nor is it from the early Qing Dynasty, hehe, so there is no need to ask the price."

"Not ivory? Plastic?"

"Plastic ones are not. They are bone carvings, made of ox bones. If they are really from the early Qing Dynasty, even bone carvings are very valuable for collection. However, this kind of modern handicraft is made of old things, and he said The collection value of the early Qing Dynasty ivory carvings is very different!"

"It's boring, I finally fell in love with a beautiful one, but it's still a fake..."

"Hehe, if you only look at the appearance when buying antiques, you probably won't be able to buy any of them. However, even if you don't look at the appearance, more than 90.00% of the antiques in this city are fakes."

Meng Yao stuck out her tongue, pointed at the crowd that was constantly flowing, and said:

"That's all there are so many people? Are they not afraid of being fooled?"

"I can't help it. Collectors are hot. Besides, who would admit that their eyesight is not good? Half of the people who come here are purely tourists with the idea of ​​knowledge and experience, and the rest of them are probably thinking of picking up leaks. Hehe, in fact, everyone I know that today, there are basically no leaks to pick up, but despite the hard work of thousands of scouring, gold is found only when the yellow sand is blown away, and this is exactly the joy of collecting."

Meng Yao nodded thoughtfully and said with a smile:

"Then let's go shopping for a while today, just to see how you pick up the leaks."

Wu Di was about to speak when suddenly a loud voice came from not far away. After hearing a few words, he turned his head and smiled at Meng Yao:

"Listen, this is someone who wanted to pick up the leak and got tricked, and came to the door to reason."

As soon as Meng Yao listened to the music, she dragged Wu Di and ran towards the place where the sound came from, urging Wu Di while running,

"Hurry up, grab a good position!"

The shop where the dispute occurred was only more than 30 meters away from them, so they really occupied a good position, just to the left of the shop entrance.But in just 1 minute, there were already two dense circles behind them, and the two of them were squeezed into the middle position facing the door.

This is a shop that mainly deals in porcelain, and there are quite a few people in the shop. It is estimated that some shoppers stayed after seeing the excitement.At this moment, a young man is pulling a black and fat middle-aged man to reason.

"Boss, you can't be like this. When you bought this thing, you said you would pay ten for the fake. I thought you were a stall, so I bought it with confidence. I didn't expect... it was 120 million! Everyone came to comment As a judge, I don't ask him to pay ten for the fake one, so he will refund me the original price, and he will not give the appraisal fee. You say, should this kind of unscrupulous boss be arrested by the Public Security Bureau? , Sentence him for a few years?"

There is never a shortage of booing people. Hearing the young man's incitement, someone yelled at that time,

"That's right, what reason to talk to him, report directly to the police, and defraud 120 million, enough to sentence him to ten or 20 years!"

The boss looked like a veteran at first glance, and he was not in a hurry when he heard the crowd's clamor. When everyone's voices weakened, he calmly took the young man's hand away from him, walked to the door, and faced the crowd. The crowd made a bow and said:

"I, Wang Dafa, have been operating in this antique city for almost ten years, and I have seen many cases like this. If you want to be reasonable, well, let's reason in public and see if you are making trouble for no reason, or I am deliberately defrauding, if everyone Thinking that I, Mr. Wang, deliberately cheated, hehe, although 200 million is too much, I will pay you for it! If you make trouble for no reason, little brother, you have to give me an explanation!"

"Am I making trouble for no reason? Let's see, this is the appraisal result of Ning Ci, a professor of the Department of Archeology at the Provincial University, and this is the appraisal report of Master Liu Xueli from the Provincial Museum. Do you dare to let me read it out in public?"

Wang Dafa smiled,

"Why don't I dare? If you want to read me, can you keep your mouth shut? But, young man, before reading this appraisal report, how about we first talk about what happened when you bought this porcelain?"

He turned around and picked up a blue and white double phoenix jade pot and spring vase from the table, carefully showed it to everyone, and said:

"Everyone has seen it. This is a blue and white double phoenix pattern jade pot spring bottle. This little brother spent 120 million, and this is what he bought. Do you think it is worth it?"

Someone from behind the crowd shouted in dissatisfaction,

"There are too many blue and white flowers. I don't know which dynasty it is. Who knows if it's worth it? Don't mess with these vain people. Hurry up if you want to fight, we still have something to do!"

The crowd burst into laughter, Meng Yao couldn't help but rolled her eyes, this kind of top quality, do you have the guts to go to the front and give it a try?

Wang Dafa gave a wry smile when he heard the words, put the things back on the table, told the waiter to look after them, turned around and said:

"Okay, then I'll start with the business, young man, did I mention its dynasty when you bought this thing?"

The young man thought for a moment and said:

"It seems that I said it, and it seems that I didn't say it. I can't remember, but you said it, [-]% true! I will never make a mistake!"

Wang Dafa clapped his palms together and said:

"Okay, I'll just recap the meaning of what we said that day. Listen to it, everyone acts according to their conscience. Before speaking, you must ask your conscience before you speak."

"Okay! Say it."

"I remember you said this when you asked the price, boss, how do you sell this blue and white bottle? Right? Do you remember my answer?"

The young man resentfully said:

"Why don't you remember? You asked for 580 million! Just this bottle, 580 million. Do you think it's black or not?"

There was a buzz of discussion in the crowd, Wu Di shook his head slightly, and said in his heart:

"This price is really not cheap..."

Wang Daqing did not change his face, pressed his hands down, and continued:

"Then you asked me why I didn't have the money, and I said I didn't have the money for Yuan Qinghua! Then you asked me if I could keep the authenticity, and I said 120% authenticity, and you will pay ten for fake ones. Then we started bargaining, and finally you [-] Wan bought the bottle, didn't he!"

"Yes, everyone, listen, did he say that this bottle is blue and white from the Yuan Dynasty? Well, I took it for appraisal. What blue and white flowers from the Yuan Dynasty, experts say it is a modern handicraft made from old times!"

Wang Dafa spread his hands and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, don't worry, everyone must have been the same as him just now. If you didn't hear what I said clearly, I will say it again. Listen carefully, everyone. I said that I didn't say it was Yuan Qinghua. It was like this at the time. You just sit I’m standing in this position, and you ask me why I don’t have the inscription, and I say, I don’t have any money for Yuan blue and white! Excuse me, did I mention that it is Yuan blue and white? Besides, if it is really Yuan blue and white, let alone 120 Ten thousand, you can't take 200 million!"

The young man scratched his head, did he really say that?No, the word "return" is too crucial, without it, the meaning of that sentence would be completely different!

He bit his lip and said:

"No, what you said at the time was that Yuan Qinghua didn't have any money, and there was no word "return"!"

Wang Dafa said calmly:

"Okay, let's assume I didn't say the word "return". Let's analyze it. I, who has been in the antique business for so many years, will sell you a piece of blue and white yuan for 120 million? Even if I want to sell fakes, Do you also believe that a real piece of Yuan blue and white is worth 120 million? Young man, I think you were dazzled by the benefits at that time, right?"

"You have been dazzled by the benefits! You unscrupulous bosses dare not admit what you said at the time. If you hadn't said that it was Yuan blue and white, I would have paid such a high price to buy it? Anyway, the appraisal result is in Here, you have to retreat today, if you don’t, we’ll see you in court!”

The young man shouted red-faced.

Now everyone has actually heard that what Wang Dafa said is probably true.Although what he said was suspected of being deliberately induced, the main reason was that this young man was obsessed with interests and wanted to pick up big leaks, so he got the point.

Wang Dafa spread his hands and said helplessly:

"It's meaningless for you to say that, that's fine, I don't bother to talk nonsense with you here, you can sue if you have the ability! But, young man, I advise you, don't have diamonds, don't do porcelain work, just your eyesight , in the future, this kind of place should come less often!"

There were bursts of discussion in the crowd, and a tourist-like elder sister shook her head and said:

"This matter is not easy to solve. There is no evidence and no evidence. It may not be possible to judge in court."

An old man next to him was not happy,

"What's the sentence? This is how this antique business is. Both parties rely on their own eyesight. How can they make such a fuss? Young man, you'd better stop making trouble here and go back quickly."

"That's right, bad rules! Young people nowadays can only take advantage of it, not suffer a little..."

Seeing the young man's face flushed with anger, Wu Di shook his head, took a step forward, and said:

"Okay, you two don't have to argue anymore, this matter is easy to resolve, listen to me!"
