official ruffian

After more than half an hour, the clerk finally put down the picture of the lady crouching on the tiger, took off his white gloves, and said to Cao Shangfei, "Sir, can you wait a moment, I will call the boss right away and ask him to come over to meet you in person." Talk, he lives not far from here, so it shouldn't take much of your time, do you think?"

Cao Shangfei put down the disposable cup in his hand, nodded after thinking about it, and agreed to the buddy's suggestion. The buddy was overjoyed and asked another buddy to take Cao Shangfei and others into the VIP room at the back, and he himself called the boss to come.The man has reason to be happy. If the business is completed, he will get a considerable commission when these few items are sold.Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper of Zang Guxuan was taken away by the boss today, which made him cheaper.

After Cao Shangfei and Sun Dajun went to the VIP lounge, Mr. Qian and Mr. Wu did not follow, "Mr. Qian, what do you think? Those two pieces of porcelain are very consistent with the characteristics of Ming Xuande blue and white porcelain. There seems to be no problem with the quality, appearance or style.”

"One of these two pieces of porcelain is a blue and white large plate with a lotus pattern. This large plate has a round belly and a fine sand bottom inside the circle. The shape is regular and generous, the tire is hard and white, and the white glaze is plump. Branch lotus and back pattern, a lotus pattern painted on the center of the plate, flowers on the inner wall, and sea water patterns on the edge of the plate. The brushwork is smooth and powerful, and the blue and white hair color is elegant. This is a large-scale variety among similar vessels in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. Relatively rare." Qian Lao said slowly.

"The other one is a large bowl with blue and white auspicious fruit patterns. This porcelain has a dense and hard body, and the white glaze is slightly shimmering green, and the glaze is as smooth as jade. The outer wall of the bowl is painted with six groups of peaches, pomegranates, persimmons, and grapes in blue and white. Fruit patterns, the cavity is set off by lotus petal patterns, six groups of flower patterns are painted on the feet, and a line of "Daming Xuande Year System" is placed along the outer mouth. Six Yu regular script. Su Ma Liqing penetrates deep into the fetal bone, and it is naturally dizzy. This feature is The blue and white bowl is unique to the Yongxuan period. The craftsmanship of the large bowl is exquisite, the blue and white hair color is gorgeous, and it is well preserved. It is the top grade among similar utensils handed down from generation to generation."

Mr. Qian briefly introduced Cao Shangfei's two pieces of blue-and-white porcelain just now, and he was very interested. "I didn't expect to see two pieces of blue-and-white porcelain from the Xuande period here. I am very lucky today."

"They are all true!" Mr. Wu was shocked, "These two pieces of porcelain must be worth a lot of money, right?" Mr. Wu did not doubt Mr. Qian's judgment. He thought that what Mr. Qian said was true, so it must be true.

"The prices of these two pieces of porcelain are quite different. A blue and white plate with lotus pattern is estimated to be around 40 to 53 yuan. I saw a piece of porcelain similar to this at last year's Beijing auction, and the final transaction price was 70 yuan. But that piece of porcelain has a small gap, and its appearance is not as good as this one. It is estimated that this piece will sell for 40 million yuan at the auction. After deducting related expenses, 100 million yuan is almost its actual price. The blue and white Ruiguo pattern is large The bowl is estimated to be sold for about [-] million. Didn’t Xiao Wu want to choose a gift, I think that painting is pretty good!"

"Ah! What's so particular about that painting? I can say something about porcelain, but I really don't know anything about calligraphy and painting." Mr. Wu said with a wry smile.

"You'll know after you buy it!" Mr. Qian didn't explain. "Come on, let's go and have a look first."

In the VIP lounge, Cao Shangfei and Sun Dajun just finished drinking a cup of tea, then Mr. Qian and Mr. Wu entered the lounge, and about 3 minutes later, two more people came in. They were also an old man and a middle-aged man. The guy who greeted Cao Shangfei saw the two came in and rushed forward to greet them.

One of the two people who came in later was the owner of Zang Guxuan, and the other was the shopkeeper. The name of the owner of Zangguxuan was Chen Guxuan. The name of the antique shop was taken from his name, and the shopkeeper's surname was You.When Chen Guxuan and the shopkeeper came in and saw Mr. Qian and Mr. Wu present, they were slightly depressed.

The clerk introduced Chen Guxuan and shopkeeper You to Cao Shangfei, and shopkeeper Nayou began to identify the three objects of Cao Shangfei.Shopkeeper You's appraisal was relatively fast, and he had already put down the price in less than 10 minutes, with no expression on his face.He put the two pieces of porcelain together, put the painting aside, and said to Cao Shangfei: "You two little brothers, I am not sure about this painting, you can take it to another place to have a look. As for these two pieces of porcelain, We can accept it, the two of you may wish to negotiate a price, and if it is suitable, we will accept it."

Cao Shangfei also didn't know what this uncertainty meant?However, this can be put aside first, and a deal is a deal!It's just that Shopkeeper You asked him to bid first, but he was really stumped. He didn't know anything about antiques. Who knew how much these two things were worth.If it is worth [-] and you quote [-], it will be a loss to grandma's family.

Seeing that Cao Shangfei did not speak in silence, Sun Dajun wanted to speak, Cao Shangfei hurriedly patted him to signal him to be calm, and then turned to Shopkeeper You. "Shopkeeper You, you Zangguxuan opened the door to do business, accepting visitors from all over the world, we small people are incomparable. Why don't you make a price, shopkeeper You, and let us experience the sincerity of your Zangguxuan in doing business. The two of us From the countryside, if there is something that is not in place, shopkeeper You please don't mind."

Reasonable and well-founded, neither humble nor overbearing!Seeing this, Mr. Qian nodded secretly. He could see that Cao Shangfei didn't know much about antiques, but he spoke and acted very calmly.

Shopkeeper You smiled. In fact, he was also very embarrassed. If Mr. Qian and Mr. Wu were not around, Shopkeeper You would definitely be able to get the two pieces of porcelain at the lowest price, and Zang Guxuan would be able to make a lot of money by then.But now that Mr. Qian and Mr. Wu are here, especially Mr. Qian, who is an authoritative figure in the field of antique collection, Zang Guxuan has to take it easy.

Shopkeeper You hesitated, and finally quoted a price, "The two items add up to [-]."

"Ah..." Sun Dajun yelled when he heard the words, but before he could say anything, Cao Shangfei had already stepped on Sun Dajun's instep, "Dajun, I'm sorry, I didn't hurt you!"

When he said this, it seemed that he stepped on Sun Dajun's instep, and Sun Dajun screamed because of the pain.Sun Dajun was not an idiot either, he quickly shook his head and said it didn't hurt.

"Shopkeeper You, your sincerity is not enough. How about this? Let me also say a price. Shopkeeper You thinks we can do this business!" Cao Shangfei ignored Sun Dajun and turned to Shopkeeper You, "150 million, we can make a deal if possible. .”

"Mr. Cao, your bid is too ruthless, and there is nothing we can do to help us. In this way, we will lose money. 20 yuan deal!"

"140 million, no less!"

"30!" Shopkeeper You gritted his teeth, "We won't be able to make a profit any more."

"130 million!"

"40 million!"

"120 million!"

"50 million!"

Cao Shangfei paused, and shopkeeper You was overjoyed when he saw this, but before his smiling face disappeared, Cao Shangfei quoted a price again, "One hundred and ninety thousand!"

In the end, you came and went, and there were several rounds of confrontation, and finally the price was 110 million.This transaction price is 30 yuan different from Mr. Qian's estimate for Mr. Wu, which shows that Zang Guxuan still has a lot of profit.And Cao Shangfei was even more satisfied, he became a millionaire in a blink of an eye.When the final transaction was made, Cao Shangfei realized that he did not have a bank card. In the end, the boss of Zang Guxuan drove Cao Shangfei to the bank to apply for a bank card. Chen Guxuan transferred 110 million to Cao Shangfei's account to complete the transaction. People went back to Tibetan Guxuan, Mr. Qian and Mr. Wu were still there.

"I wonder if Brother Cao has anything else to do?" Back in the VIP lounge, Chen Guxuan asked with a smile.

"It's really gone!"

"Boss, don't you sell that stamp?" Sun Dajun finally couldn't help interjecting after holding back for so long.

"Stamps, what stamps?" Before Cao Shangfei could answer, Mr. Wu hurriedly asked, "Can I have a look?"

Cao Shangfei glared at Sun Dajun, then took out the Gengshen version monkey ticket from his travel bag, and handed it to Mr. Wu.
