Chapter 33 Picking up leaks?

Fang Ming paused. He remembered that he had never seen that "huge" Buddha statue, but he stopped for a while and then continued to walk forward. Without the supernatural power, he could only look at it with his new eyes on antiques. There is no need to look.

Jiang Hua became even more anxious when he saw it, jumped up and rushed to Fang Ming, saying, "Whether you want it or not, can you take a look at the assembly?"

Fang Ming was taken aback, he didn't expect the other party to make such an extreme move.

"Okay, let me take a look... But, I..."

Fang Ming walked up to the Buddha statue and stretched out his hand. The Buddha statue was really too big, so he planned to hold the base of the Buddha statue with one hand while supporting the shoulder of the Buddha statue, and lift it up for a look.

"what?!"

Fang Ming was taken aback for a moment, and just as his right hand touched the base of the Buddha statue, a Pixiu suddenly sprang out from the back of his hand!
Fang Ming originally just wanted to deal with the other party. After all, the other party was so enthusiastic, how could he expect such a situation to happen?Pixiu, who had tried countless times in the morning but failed to appear, unexpectedly appeared at this time—it came so suddenly that he was not prepared at all.

Therefore, what he originally wanted to say that he would not want this Buddha statue could not be said in an instant, and he completely swallowed it back in his stomach.

Jiang Hua is also a human being. He noticed the change in Fang Ming's expression, and he was relieved. He knew that today's business was finally settled, and now it depends on how much he earns.

"Well, let me tell you, this thing is not bad."

Fang Ming also came back to his senses immediately, and secretly regretted that his reaction was a little bit louder just now, and the other party had noticed it, but it was useless to regret now—since Pixiu appeared on his right hand, he should find a way to buy it first Besides.

"Okay, this thing seems to be okay, how much is it? But let me say it first, don't ask me for a price, or I will walk away immediately."

"Oh, don't worry, I, Jiang Hua, have not been in this little antique street for a day or two, you can go and find out what kind of person I am..."

Waving his hand to interrupt Jiang Hua, Fang Ming said, "Let's make an offer directly, and I'll see if I'm willing to buy it."

Jiang Hua nodded, raised a finger, and said, "Okay! You give this number!"

"1000? Yes, I want this Buddha statue."

When Jiang Hua heard it, he almost fainted, 1000 yuan?Think of yourself as a beggar?He quickly shook his head and said, "No, it's 10."

"Oh, that's fine."

When Fang Ming heard this, he immediately turned around and left, 10?What are you kidding?Even if Pixiu appeared when the Buddha statue was held in his hand, he would not have paid so much.The appearance of Pixiu only proves that it is an antique, but how much this antique is worth is another matter, so Fang Ming is absolutely unwilling to spend so much money on it.

Seeing Fang Ming turn around, Jiang Hua was not in a hurry. He has been here for many years and has seen too many people use this method to lower the price, so now he can't speak first, or he will fall into a passive position.

Judging from Fang Ming's reaction just now, the other party wanted the Buddha statue, so Jiang Hua believed that Fang Ming would not just leave like this.

"Small, do you think I don't know that you want this Buddha statue? If you have the ability, you can go."

Jiang Hua even took out a cigarette and put one in his mouth, but the next moment he couldn't care less about lighting a cigarette - he found that Fang Ming was definitely leaving, not just pretending, because at this moment The club has already walked more than ten meters, the key is that the pace is neither too fast nor too slow. According to his many years of experience, he can see that this is definitely not to lower the price by leaving, because people who use this method are usually either very fast or very slow!

"Hey, don't go, let's discuss it again."

Jiang Hua yelled, but what made him anxious was that the other party didn't care about him at all, and continued to walk forward.

"This one……"

Fang Ming was not in a hurry, but Jiang Hua was in a hurry. He bent down and picked up the huge Buddha statue and rushed towards Fang Ming.

"What are you trying to do?"

Fang Ming was taken aback, Jiang Hua rushed in front of him holding the half-human tall Buddha statue, his face was flushed and sweating profusely, quite ferocious.

"boom!"

Jiang Hua put the Buddha statue on the ground, and Fang Ming said, "Tell me, how much are you willing to pay for this thing? You have to pay back the price, right?"

"I just said, 1000 yuan."

If Fang Ming didn't want this Buddha statue, it would be a lie. After all, this Buddha statue made his right hand react. Although he didn't know how much it was worth, it was an antique after all!
Jiang Hua shook his head and said, "Your price is too harsh. I don't want 10. You can give me 1, an integer."

Raising his right hand, Fang Ming spread his five fingers and shook it, saying, "5000, this is the highest price."

Seeing that Jiang Hua was wondering why, Fang Ming interrupted the other party and said, "This is the final price. If you make a counter-offer, then you can carry this Buddha statue back by yourself."

Jiang Hua opened his mouth. He really wanted to argue, but seeing the expression on Fang Ming's face, he immediately lost his temper and said, "Okay, 5000 is 5000. I should cut my flesh."

"Yo, are you really so reluctant? That's fine."

Jiang Hua rolled his eyes as soon as he heard it, he said that this was just a passing word, and most people let it go after hearing it, but the other party actually came up with this sentence, and quickly said: "No, there are rules in this industry. I set a price. If you agree, you can't change it. gone."

Fang Ming also laughed when he heard it, and said: "I just want to say, come on, you have taken advantage of a lot. I guess you didn't spend much on this Buddha statue, and you made a lot of money with 5000 yuan."

Counting the cash that Fang Ming handed over, and shaking it a few times in his hand, Jiang Hua said proudly: "Fortunately, I'm just eating for dinner. This Buddha statue is yours. It's getting late. I'm leaving first, remember to visit me next time, I will definitely get you something nice."

"Okay, no problem. I'll be at Avonzhai on this street. If you have something good, send it there."

After Fang Ming finished speaking, he lifted the Buddha statue and walked towards Avon Zhai.

"Afangzhai? Isn't Zhou Yafang the only person in that shop? When did there become another person? Newcomer?"

Jiang Hua had a puzzled expression on his face, but when he saw the stack of RMB in his hand, he smiled, shook a few times, hummed a song, walked to his stall to pack up and left.

Whether Fang Ming was invited by Zhou Yafang is not important to him at all. The important thing is that the Buddha statue made a lot of money today, so he can have a good meal in the evening. If he is interested, he can find a girl to vent it to. fire.

Walking into Avonzhai, Fang Ming saw Zhou Yafang sitting behind the tea table drinking tea at a glance. What he was holding was one of the three antiques he picked out yesterday except the finger wrench. , and there is another thing in front of her, which she is obviously thinking about.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Zhou Yafang raised her head and saw Fang Ming coming in carrying a half-high Buddha statue, she quickly stood up to help put the Buddha statue in place.

"This...you bought it? Did you buy it from Jiang Hua?"

Fang Ming asked in surprise, "Sister Yafang, how do you know?"

Zhou Yafang laughed, and said, "This morning, Jianghua's stall in the entire ghost market has such a big Buddha statue, so how could it be possible not to know?"

Fang Ming thought about it for a while, and it was indeed the case. It seemed that Jiang Hua was someone who often messed around in the city. It was not surprising that Zhou Yafang knew him.

"Sister Yafang, how about you take a look at this Buddha statue I bought?"

As soon as Fang Ming finished speaking, another voice just happened to come from outside the shop:
"Hey, Fang Ming, have you found something good again? Let me take a look."

Fang Ming and Zhou Yafang looked up and found that it was Qian Fang who came in—he was walking in slowly with square steps.

As soon as the two saw it, they went up to meet him. Fang Ming hurriedly said, "Mr. Qian, why are you here?"

The three of them met in Zhao Benhua's villa before. When they parted, Qian Fang had said that he would come to Avonzhai when he had time, but he didn't expect to come so early in the morning.

"Heh, I'm idle at home, so I'll take a look."

Qian Fang's coming here today was mainly out of Fang Ming's curiosity.In fact, Zhou Yafang is already well-known in the collection circle of Ningdong City, and her vision is quite unique. Even if she is not good at things like finger pulling, generally speaking, it is unlikely that there will be mistakes—even if there are mistakes, It is impossible for Fang Ming to identify it but Zhou Yafang cannot. Fang Ming is completely a beginner in antiques.

Looking at Avonzhai, Qian Fang found that it was not much different from ordinary antique stores. The huge shelves were filled with all kinds of antiques, large and small. He found it even more inconceivable to find that finger wrench among these antique piles.

"Old Qian, sit down."

Zhou Yafang put the money in front of the chair and started making tea.

"Well, I spent a lot of time here 20 years ago, but I haven't been here for many years now."

Qian Fang drank his tea, his tone full of nostalgia. When the antique collection was just emerging, he used to shop for things here. This is the place where he made his fortune.

"Isn't this place different from before?"

Qian Fang nodded and said, "Yes, it's very different. In the past, there were many good things here, at least there were many real things. Now this place is about to become a market for fake goods and handicrafts, so I come here less often."

"However, Ms. Zhou, your store is not bad. Let's not talk about whether the items are valuable or not, but it can be seen that they are all genuine items. It is not easy for antique stores to do this now!"

Zhou Yafang said sternly: "Mr. Qian, antiques are expensive and cheap. Although others have their own ways, for me, I must pay attention to the truth. This is the most basic principle of my antique shop. "

"Well, yes, it's very difficult to be able to do this now and stick to it."

Qian Fang is also a colleague, so he naturally knows how difficult it is to do this.

"By the way, before I came in, I heard that Fang Ming bought another item?"

"Yes, Mr. Qian, isn't there a ghost market in Antique Street? I just bought something back? It's a Buddha statue."

"This is it?"

Qian Fang pointed to the Buddha statue placed on one side. The Buddha statue Fang Ming bought back was half a meter high. Zhou Yafang's shop was not big, so it was too obvious when it was placed there, and it was hard to miss it.

"Yes, Mr. Qian, what do you think of this Buddha statue?"

Qian Fang frowned all of a sudden, originally he thought Fang Ming should be talented in this area, but judging from this Buddha statue, it doesn't seem to be the case.
