Unparalleled Treasures

Zhang Can and Wei Jiu are discussing business, so other people in the store don't want to disturb them. First, this is the rule in the antique business, and generally others are not allowed to interrupt. Second, in this store, except for Lao Wu's experience and skills In addition to being relatively strong, Zhang Can is the best, Zhang Guonian, Zhang Jiye, and even Zhang Hua. Although the three of them have learned a lot, they can only be regarded as rookies among rookies. It's about watching more and learning more than talking too much. Su Xue is not interested in doing antique business at all, so naturally she won't intervene.

So Zhang Hua accompanied Su Xue, drinking tea by themselves and chatting in a low voice. Zhang Guonian and his son each took a rag and carefully cleaned up the antique jade wares on the shelf. If they are curious.

Wei Jiu's things, of course, he himself knows how much they are worth. Zhang Can said this, either he was teasing himself, joking with himself, or it was his own jade pendant that he really misjudged, or those experts didn't know what to do. It's parallel imports. Wei Jiu remembers that when he hired an expert to appraise him, the expert took the jade token, glanced at it, and said, "Mr. Wei, if your jade token is Do you think there are other special meanings, so it can be said that it is a priceless treasure, but in terms of the current market and the quality of this piece of jade, I will give you an estimate, which is about [-] to [-], of course. , if you sell it, the buyer's preferences and his financial ability are also the most important factors affecting the price of this jade plaque..."

Now that Zhang Can said this, Wei Jiu was very upset. If he relied on his three-inch tongue to talk about this jade plaque in an exaggerated way, it would obviously not work if he wanted to get a big price. If you obediently follow what Zhang Can said and sell it for 10 yuan, you will really be unwilling. The most unwilling thing is that you need a sum of money urgently to support a large number of brothers under you. This Zhang Can Didn't he just pinch his own seven inches and strangle his neck?

Zhang Can saw that Wei Jiu was hesitant, so he smiled again: "Mr. Wei, how about this, how about you, take this jade tablet first, and then go for a walk, I can wait for you for half an hour, and then you Come back, if someone can exceed this amount, that would be even better. If you still want to buy it for us, I welcome you at this price. However, it is a taboo in this business, I believe Mr. Wei, you will not ask me to say more, right? If the cooperation is happy, we will have countless next time, hehe..."

Wei Jiu was not sure what kind of medicine Zhang Can was selling in the gourd. After thinking for a while, he said, "Brother Zhang, in this way, you are a straightforward person, so I won't say much, but this jade tablet has always been in my heart." It's a mystery, I'll go out and find a master again, just to see if someone can help me solve this mystery, no matter what price others offer me, I will come back and sell it to you, as for the taboo of Tao, I Of course I understand, and I won’t say much, what do you think. Send an update”

Zhang Can smiled faintly and said, "Okay, Mr. Wei, please go ahead. However, I have other things to do, and I only have half an hour to spare. I hope Mr. Wei can be more punctual."

Old Wu watched Wei Jiu go out, and said to Zhang Can: "Little nephew, you really have to spend 10 yuan to buy that jade card that costs several hundred dollars... But my little nephew's eyesight, I believe You can't go wrong."

Seeing that Wei Jiu had gone a long way, Zhang Hua covered his nose and said, "Oh, what a strange smell. It stinks to death. Could this be what they call body odor? It's so strong that it makes me want to smell it." Vomit."

Zhang Can said seriously: "Little girl, in this business, we can't be prejudiced against anyone. When people come, they are all customers, so we can't pick and choose. Doing that will have a great impact on our own business." Harm, courtesy, service with a smile, and try to satisfy customers, this is the essence of our business."

Zhang Hua stuck out his tongue mischievously, and said, "Second brother, I know I was wrong. I will correct it in the future, but I don't understand. Uncle Wu said that the jade card is only worth a few hundred yuan. Do you really want it?" Didn’t you lose a lot by buying it for [-] yuan? Can you tell us the secret? Do you have any other intentions?”

Zhang Can said with a smile: "Little girl, when did you become so shrewd? Hehe, I have intentions, but now is not the time to explain it to you. When he comes again, you will understand."

Su Xue was on the side, pouted and said, "Hmph, I just like to play tricks and tease people's appetites. I'm afraid Mr. Wei is teasing you! Be careful not to spit it out." But in her heart, she knew, If Zhang Can is not [-]% sure about doing such a business, he will not make a move.

Old Wu said: "Little nephew, could it be that the problem lies in the pattern of the jade plate, but I remember that the pattern of the jade plate is nothing special. A simple engraved lotus flower does not have much artistic value, in my opinion, if others can give you 1000 yuan, that would be a big deal."

Zhang Can shook his head with a smile and said nothing. It doesn't matter if he loses or gains in this business. The key is to solve a mystery in his heart, but the less people know about this mystery, the better of course.

Half an hour was about to pass in the blink of an eye, and with less than a minute left, Wei Jiu ran back panting. Zhang Can saw Wei Jiu coming back, and thought that Wei Jiu was quite defensive. At that time, it seemed that he must have not bought a good price elsewhere, otherwise, he would not have rushed back in such a hurry.

As soon as Wei Jiu entered the store, he glanced at the wall clock on the wall, wiped off his sweat, and said involuntarily, "Fortunately, I'm not late yet..." Turning around, he said to Zhang Can, "Brother Zhang, let's talk about it first." If so, does it still count?"

Zhang Can handed Wei Jiu a glass of water, and said unhurriedly, "Mr. Wei is so punctual. Of course, what I said counts. But, has Mr. Wei thought about the price?"

Wei Jiu said straightforwardly: "Okay, no problem, the transaction is only 10 yuan. However, I still have a merciless request. I hope that after our transaction is completed, Brother Xiao Zhang can answer me a question truthfully. That's fine." But I regret it all my life, I don’t know if little brother Zhang can agree to my ruthless request.”

Zhang Can said with a smile: "You're welcome. The question Mr. Wei wants to ask is not a big deal. Besides, I also have something I want to ask Mr. Wei. I hope Mr. Wei can explain it in detail for the sake of this happy cooperation. Tell me something."

Wei Jiu laughed, and said: "As the saying goes, once you are born and you are familiar, I have come here twice in such a short period of time, and I can be regarded as a regular customer. As long as I know something, Xiao Zhang, just ask, and never ask." Dare to hide anything." This Wei Jiu is indeed an old Jianghu. In the past half an hour, he ran to four antique shops, the purpose is to hope that someone can see some clues, and by the way, know the true authenticity of this jade plaque. The value lies in it, but he was very disappointed, because the eye masters in the four stores only glanced at it briefly, and when Wei Jiu asked the price, they all only offered a price of [-], which was much different from Zhang Can's bid hundred times.

But this also brought more doubts to Wei Jiu. Is this Zhang Can dizzy with so much money, or is everyone else blind except Zhang Can? It's out of anger!He didn't even know the real value of this jade token, just like the bowl he lost his hands in Panjiayuanzi. He worked hard and got nothing but the pitiful 300 yuan!Perhaps this is the gap, the gap in making a lot of money, the gap between making a few hundred dollars for yourself, and millions for others.

I have been in the business of digging graves for almost my whole life, but at the end of the day, I fell into two big fights in a row. This incident is not only laughed at by others, but also feels extremely shameful when I think about it. It seems that I have lived to learn this saying, I really haven't fully comprehended it yet. When I saw Zhang Can today, I had to ask for his advice, even if I took this jade card to pay the tuition again.

When the business is concluded, Zhang Hua will naturally handle the sales contract as quickly as possible. Of course, these contracts are all printed in advance. As long as the two parties sign the name of the goods, the transaction amount and the names of the buyer and the seller, it is considered a deal. It worked.

After Wei Jiu signed the name and collected the money, he said, "Brother Zhang, now that we have settled the money, I will ask, what is so special about this jade pendant."

Zhang Can said seriously: "Mr. Wei, so to speak, you should be more aware of the texture and carving work of your jade plaque than I am. In your line of work, you must have done some research on this. Yes. wrong!"

Wei Jiu nodded and replied: "That's true. Not only I can't see this jade tablet, but several very famous experts can't see it either. I don't want to hide it in front of you. Just now, I I ran to four companies in total, and they all gave prices of less than 1000 yuan. This is what I want to understand. Brother Xiao Zhang, please tell me directly, even if this jade card is indeed worth a lot of money, I, Henan Jingou Weijiu, will never go back on my word, please speak up!"

Su Xue secretly said at the side: "You'd better not go back on this matter, otherwise, you will definitely suffer the loss."

Zhang Can said: "Actually, what's really amazing about this jade tablet is that..."

Lao Wu, Zhang Guonian, Zhang Jiye, Zhang Hua, and Su Xue all pricked up their ears and held their breath, for fear of missing every word Zhang Can said. After all, this was an excellent opportunity to learn on the spot. Things that are worthless in the eyes of others are not only valuable, but also very valuable in the hands of others. Why, just because others have a pair of discerning eyes, you can't make money yourself, so you can't blame others.

Zhang Can paused for a moment, then continued: "It's the pattern on this side, it should be a treasure map.
