Jianbao life

Chapter 569
At this time, Duan Kun was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. He was still tired like a dead dog for 500 million, and others could pick up tens of millions. How could the gap between people be so different? It's that big!
When he came back to his senses, he quickly asked with a smile all over his face: "Brother Chen, is there any trick to picking up the leak?"

"There's no trick to picking up leaks!" Liu Sizhe said with a snort, "Brother Chen laid the foundation from a young age, and later practiced in the capital for five years, and only then did he reach his current level."

As soon as Duan Kun heard it, he said dejectedly: "Doesn't it take more than ten years? Let's forget it!"

Liu Sizhe smiled and said, "I know you don't have the patience! By the way, Brother Chen, can you show us this statue of Guanyin?"

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Yes, yes, but if you look at our current environment, you can't appreciate it!"

"Hey! It's not easy to find a place. My elder's shop is nearby. Let's go and sit for a while. I just want to ask if the things I ordered have arrived..."

The antique shop that Duan Kun mentioned was indeed not far away, and it took only two or three minutes to walk there.On the way, Duan Kun also introduced his elder to the three of them.

Duan Kun's elder is named Duan Ning, who is a distant relative of Duan Kun's family, but because they often visit each other during the holidays, the relationship between the two families is not bad.

"Uncle Ning, I'm coming!"

As soon as Duan Kun walked to the door of the antique shop, he started yelling.

Immediately afterwards, a chubby middle-aged man came to greet him. This person should be Duan Ning, the owner of the antique shop. He walked up to the four of them and said with a smile, "It's Xiao Kun. Originally, I wanted to I called you, I didn't expect you to come!"

Hearing what he said, Duan Kun's eyes lit up, and he asked anxiously, "Uncle Ning, is there any news about what I want?"

"Yes!" Duan Ning nodded with a smile, and said, "Let's talk about this later. Would you like to introduce these three friends to me first?"

"you see me!"

Duan Kun patted his forehead, quickly introduced to both sides, then pointed to Chu Chen and said: "Uncle Ning, speaking of it, my friend is a disciple of Mr. Liu, and he is your colleague!"

Duan Ning was very pleasantly surprised when he heard the words, and then he suddenly lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said overjoyed, "Are you the one who participated in the XX collection a few days ago, Mr. Chu?"

Chu Chen quickly waved his hand: "Teacher Chu dare not be, I am Duan Kun's friend, you can call me Xiao Chu!"

Duan Ning hesitated and said, "What a shame..."

Duan Kun said: "Uncle Ning, brother Chen is my friend, you call him teacher, isn't it too natural!"

Chu Chen nodded in agreement.

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient, let's go, let's go in first..."

Duan Ning welcomed the four of them into the reception room inside, and asked the staff to serve tea for everyone.

After exchanging pleasantries, Duan Kun couldn't wait to ask: "Uncle Ning, when will the things I want arrive?"

Duan Ning replied: "It is estimated that the seller will arrive within half an hour, but don't put too much hope in this matter, the seller may bring fakes!"

Duan Kun was surprised when he heard the words: "Ah! Uncle Ning, how do you know that the other party will bring fakes over?"

"Because the seller, in our industry in Shudu, is famous for selling counterfeit goods..."

It turns out that the seller is known in the industry as an old talent, and the reason for this nickname is that besides the talent in the name, the main reason is that there is a layer of jackal in it. Nearby antiques, people say that he is as greedy as a jackal .

The old man's bad character is well-known in the neighborhood, and he is not afraid of boiling water or being known by others, but this person is very good at grasping the weakness of buyers, so that many people will be fooled even if they know that he has a bad character. There are many people who have been deceived, even Duan Ning was deceived by him once.

At that time, Ning hadn’t opened an antique shop yet. Once he bought a gilt bronze Buddha statue of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The meat bun of the Buddha statue was a ball-shaped high bun, which retained part of the legacy of the Taihe period.But the face is elongated, the eyes are like slender moons, the eyebrows are half-curved, the nose is full, the corners of the mouth are turned up, and there is a slight smile, with a gentle expression.

The most distinctive feature is the clothing pattern decoration of the statue. Although it is also a monk's branch inside, the cassock is crossed on the chest like a silk robe, especially on the shoulders forming a sharp angle, and the back part is long. Hanging on the sides, it is obviously more decorative than realistic.The pedestal is double-layered, and there is another lotus seat on the hollowed out pedestal.

Such a good thing, Duan Ning is of course like a treasure, but at that time, he happened to be short of money, and he didn't have any good things in his hand except this stone Buddhist altar, so he wanted to sell it. Of course, the price was definitely not high. Fei.

Duan Ning and Lao Cai also know each other. Although he also knows that Lao Cai is a bad character, but Lao Cai has a talent for eloquence. He can talk about everything. He can also learn some experience from it, and he feels that he is relatively restrained, so he is not afraid to associate with old talents.

One afternoon, the old man went to Duan Ning's house, and talked a lot about the world, anecdotes and anecdotes, it was really lifelike, as if he was there.Duan Ning was dizzy and praised repeatedly.On a whim, Duan Ning took out the bronze Buddha he bought: "How about this Buddha statue of mine?"

The old man looked it up carefully, and said casually: "Well, it's still not bad, but the face is a little worse. You see, the nose is big and the eyes are deep, so that it looks like a foreigner. It's not a Buddha statue in our country. The price is a bit worse. .”

At that time, Ning didn't know at all that it was the unique style of Buddha statues from the Yanchang period to the Zhengguang period of the Northern Wei Dynasty. He somewhat agreed with the old man's words, so he asked, "Then how much can you give?"

"How much do you want?"

"fifty thousand!"

"[-] is too expensive. You can't sell it even from our country, let alone foreign ones. If I give you [-], it's probably too expensive." The old man said.

"You can't sell it for [-] yuan. Don't you think that a copper Buddha like this can be sold for [-] yuan at an auction?"

"Can you compare it to an auction? We sell this thing below, and we don't need taxes or fees. How can it be so expensive?"

But no matter what, Duan Ning just killed the price and didn't relax.

So, the old man rolled his eyes, got up and said, "Okay, sell it first, to tell you the truth, no one bids higher than me, and sooner or later you have to sell it to me." After finishing speaking, he left and left .

Coming out of Duan Ning's house, Lao Cai made five phone calls in a row, then let out a sigh of relief, and went home to drink some wine in a happy mood.

The next day, a man from Duan Ning's house who bought copper Buddha came to see it for a long time, shook his head, and gave a price of [-] before leaving!

On the third day, another person came to Duan Ning's house. When he saw the bronze Buddha, he exclaimed, "This piece of shit costs [-] yuan?"I'll give you [-] yuan!
Day [-]...

Day [-]...

Day [-]...

On the seventh day, Duan Ning couldn't bear it anymore. He was still young at the time, so he would not have thought of such twists and turns. He just felt that the price of the copper Buddha was getting less and less every day, and regretted not selling it to the old man at that time, so he couldn't help picking it up. Phone: "Old Cai, let me sell you that bronze Buddha."

"You can sell it to me, but I can only give you eighteen thousand."

Duan Ning thought about it, and was really scared by the current price, so he gritted his teeth and agreed: "[-] is [-]."

At noon, in the tavern, the old man raised his glass and faced five people: "Thank you for your help, thank you very much, please..."

Hearing this, Duan Kun asked curiously: "I said, Uncle Ning, how do you know this matter so clearly? Could this old man still tell you this matter in front of your face?"

Duan Ning said with a smile: "That's definitely impossible. Although the old man is a bit of a jerk, he can't be this far. Didn't he ask five people to help him at the beginning, and one of them had some business contacts with me later on. Once we had a drink together, he told me about it, and I found out later that I made a hundred thousand by changing hands of that Buddha statue."

"No way, Uncle Ning, just such a guy, you still do business with him?" Duan Kun said a little angrily.

"If it was in the past, I would definitely not do business with him, but now this guy is in trouble, and he is very short of money. During this time, I am afraid of the collections he has collected over the years, so..." Duan Ning smiled slightly, the meaning behind the words was self-evident.

"Hey, why is this guy in trouble, is it karma?" Duan Kun looked curious.

Duan Ning said with a smile: "It's about the same. There is a saying that liars are always cheating. Last week, Lao Cai suddenly started selling off his collection. At first, everyone didn't want to take over. They were afraid that Lao Cai would deceive people again. One of Lao Cai's friends heard that Lao Cai was cheated, and the cheating was terrible. Not only the house was mortgaged, but he also owed a whole lot of debt. Because of this, he sold his collections to raise money. "

"Uncle Ning, what is it?" Duan Kun asked again.

"I don't know about that." Duan Ning spread out his hands: "I didn't say anything about how I was cheated. Although I am curious, I don't want to find out about this matter. Anyway, the previous losses have already been covered. Earned from the old talent."

"Oh! Uncle Ning, it seems that you took advantage of the situation to rob?" Duan Kun laughed.

Duan Ning scolded with a smile: "You boy, why are you taking advantage of the fire? This is a normal business relationship with me! But, Lao Cai is still not very trustworthy. A few days ago, some people said that Lao Cai sold him something. It's a fake, so when we trade later, we all have to keep our eyes open, so as not to be taken advantage of by him."

Everyone nodded, and then Duan Kun said with a smile: "Uncle Ning, we have a strong lineup now, not only have you such a master, but also Brother Chen, Mr. Liu's proud disciple, I can't believe it, that Mr. It's so powerful, it can escape our sharp eyes."

Duan Ning smiled and nodded: "That's true, but what should be paid attention to..."
