Chapter 655 Talk about the price

Lin Zuo snatched the string of beads from Luo Jianghua's hand almost like snatching them. After getting them, he took out a white cloth from his pocket, and wiped it carefully, with a cautious look. , as if facing a superb beauty, and then gently stroking her body.

When Luo Jianghua saw Lin doing this, he knew better.

Ten minutes later, Lin Zuo raised his head, looked at Luo Jianghua, and said, "How much is this string of beads?"

From the moment the beads arrived in his hands, Lin Zuo knew it was real. The oily feel and weight were all unique to Chenxiang, so he didn't even need to look carefully.

"Oh, it seems that boss, you really have taken a fancy to this string of beads."

Luo Jianghua smiled, stretched out a palm, shook it, and said: "This string of beads is not a good thing, in terms of agarwood, it is artificial, and it is different from natural ones. So, the price I want is not too high, 50."

Luo Jianghua breathed a sigh of relief again, Lin Zuo can now say that one foot has completely stepped into his cover.

He took the initiative to say that the string of agarwood in his hand was artificial agarwood. Of course, Luo Jianghua did not make a mistake. In fact, he did it on purpose, because only in this way, Lin Zuo would believe in himself more.No matter what kind of game it is, it can't be all "fake products". If it is all fake products, others will know it is fake at a glance. The really clever game contains real products, so it can be more believable.

Now the main thing is to "confess" that this is artificial agarwood. Luo Jianghua believes that once he says this, although it will make it impossible for him to charge a high price for this string of agarwood beads, it will make Lin Zuo believe even more. In the end, the beads were successfully sold.

No matter how high the price is for something that cannot be sold, it is useless!Luo Jianghua, who has been in the arena all his life, naturally understands this truth. He directly admits that his agarwood is not the best.

Fang Ming couldn't help but glanced at Luo Jianghua again, thinking that if this was really a game, then he had really played well!

Since agarwood is a rare thing, it is natural for someone to counterfeit it, especially in modern society.

However, the artificial agarwood mentioned by Luo Jianghua at this time does not refer to the agarwood that is formulated by mixing, but refers to the use of artificial methods to stimulate the agarwood tree to produce agarwood.

To put it simply, agarwood is formed when the trees that can produce agarwood are damaged by the outside, and the woods secrete resin for "healing" and then clip the wood.After knowing such a principle, some people came up with some methods, that is to artificially destroy those trees that may form agarwood, so that these trees can produce agarwood.The usual way is chopping, drilling, etc., which has been done decades ago, and it is said to be successful.

For example, some people in Guangzhou and South China say this.

Of course, the agarwood produced in this way cannot be compared with the real natural agarwood, but it is indeed agarwood after all, isn't it?And it's mass-produced.

Regarding this point, Fang Ming has also heard about it, but it is not really possible to do this, anyway, he has never heard of it.

As if Lin Zuo didn't hear Luo Jianghua's explanation, he squeezed the beads a few more times, and then said: "50, it's a bit too expensive, how about it, I'll pay [-], one is just like what you said As you said, this string of agarwood is artificial agarwood, compared with natural ones, and second, you are too ineffective in keeping it, so you just wear it on your hands to make sweat soak? Judging by the quality, you have already worn a lot It's been a long time, and this agarwood has been soaked to a large extent, so the price must not go up. Therefore, I think [-] is already a good price."

Asking prices all over the sky to pay back the money, of course, Lin Zuo understands this reason. In the antique world, there are many things that go up to the sky. No matter how much Luo Jianghua offered, he would agree to give as much money—even if the string of beads in front of him was really worth this money, he would not pay this money.

Hearing that Lin Zuo paid back the price, Fang Ming also smiled, thinking that no matter whether the agarwood is real or not, the price is outrageous if one is paid, and the price to be paid is also outrageous, but this is also very rare in the field of antique collection. It was common, so he simply folded his arms to watch Luo Jianghua and Lin "perform" as two people.

"Impossible, this is agarwood. Although it is said to be artificial agarwood, one is old, and the other is that you look at this size, it is not ordinary big, so it is impossible to say that the price is only worth this money. If it is really I only need this money, so I might as well keep it for myself. What can I buy with 2 yuan now? In a better location like Ningdong City, you can’t even buy a one-square-meter house. Don’t sell it! This I definitely wouldn't sell it at that price!"

Luo Jianghua yelled immediately, with an even more "wronged" expression on his face, as if he was misunderstood, or how wronged he was.

Now he is sure that Lin Zuo wants his own string of beads, and the money for the wine has already been settled for a period of time in the future. After performing a lot before, now it is finally entering the most critical stage, when it is about how much money for the wine, Luo Jiang Hua didn't immediately start screaming as if he had been injected with hormones or adrenaline.

Shaking his head, Lin Zuo twisted the beads in his hand, and said: "Let's tell the real price, what kind of situation is this string of beads? I have been playing agarwood all my life, and you have also sold it for many years Chen Xiang's people are gone, and they all know it clearly, so don't yell anymore, it's useless to yell. I want to buy, and you want to sell, so come to the truth, otherwise this business will not be possible .”

Lin's words immediately created a huge pressure.The antique industry is indeed a profiteering industry to some extent. Of course, this kind of profiteering is only for those who don't know the situation or for laymen. For insiders, what is an antique like? This kind of price is actually very transparent-of course, if it is a high imitation, it is another situation.People who play antiques can actually accept that there is a certain profit margin, that is to say, there is a certain margin on the basis of the real price, but if the asking price is too high, then the business really cannot be done. .

Luo Jianghua was also taken aback for a moment, and he put away his contempt at this time. Although he did not really make a name for himself in the antique industry due to various reasons, he has accumulated a lot of experience over the years, especially In terms of knowing people, he already knew from the tone of the other party's words at this time that the other party had a lot of background.

However, he knows that Luo Jianghua will not let go in front of Qian, he just pays more attention to the other party. Of course, he also understands that it is impossible to fool Youlin again.

"Okay, even if that's the case, then we don't say dark words in front of the public. It doesn't matter if there are people like 50, because it doesn't make any sense. Of course, I also admit that the price of 40 is a bit high , In this way, the one-buy price is [-]."

Lin Zuo also understood that it was impossible for him to buy Luo Jianghua's agarwood for 2 yuan. The price was just to give himself room to negotiate. Still not satisfied, shook his head and said: "40, impossible, as I said, although this agarwood is agarwood, but because it is artificial agarwood, what's more, it has been received by you when you wear it like this. After a certain amount of damage, I still don’t know whether I can raise it back, so it’s impossible for me to buy your string of agarwood at the normal market price.”

"Agarwood is not afraid of water, such as rain, sweat, etc., so I will not damage this string of agarwood."

Luo Jianghua shook his head. Lin Zuo used himself to wear the agarwood on his hands because he damaged the agarwood, so he had to make a comeback on this. As for the artificial agarwood, he had no choice, so he simply I just gave up, or I would suffer too much, and there was no way to negotiate a good price.

"That's right, it's true, and if agarwood wants to be healthy, you have to wear it often. This kind of agarwood can form a natural bag, and this kind of agarwood is even less afraid of water. However, it is afraid of a kind of water. Water, such as soap and other chemical ingredients, especially shampoo, if it comes into contact with such water, it will wash off the resin or grease on the surface of the agarwood. Just look at this From the rope of the beads, it can be seen that you usually don’t untie the beads when you wash your hands or take a bath, am I right? So this string of agarwood must have been affected.”

"This one……"

Luo Jianghua was speechless, but what Lin Zuowei said was the truth. He knew exactly what kind of agarwood on his wrist. The reason why he wore it was to facilitate deceiving people. For example, if I hadn't worn Chenxiang on my wrist just now, how could Lin Zuo see it?But it was precisely because of this that he didn't pay much attention to the string of agarwood, but now Lin made an excuse for him.

"Well, I don't think it's better to take a step back from such a share. I'll pay 4 yuan for this string of agarwood."

Seeing Luo Jianghua like this, Lin Zuo knew that he had already suppressed the other party's aura. Naturally, he had to relax and raise the price at this time, otherwise this matter could not be negotiated. After all, he wanted to buy this Agarwood.
