Chapter 972 How can I go back on my word?

However, the next scene made Chu Chen feel that Xia Zhicheng was indeed a strange person.

I saw Xia Zhicheng asked the hammer to wrap the things, and when he was counting the money, his brows suddenly frowned. At this moment, recalling the scene just now, he felt that something was wrong with this matter, but what was wrong specifically, he acted as People in the bureau couldn't think of it for a while.

This person has a knot in his heart. If he doesn't get rid of the knot, he will definitely not feel comfortable. Xia Zhicheng thought about it. Although he didn't think of the problem, he just couldn't rest assured. , simply don’t want anything.

So, he said: "Boss, I'm really sorry, I still don't want these three things."

Hammer was startled when he heard the words, his smile became a little stiff, and he said with some displeasure: "Little brother, is it inappropriate for you to do this?"

"Why is it inappropriate?" Xia Zhicheng felt that Hammer's words were a little funny, and said, "If I paid the money and told you to return the product for no reason, it would definitely be inappropriate, but now I haven't paid the money, at most I wasted a little time on your work, at worst, I can just apologize to you, what's inappropriate?"

Hearing what Xia Zhicheng said was so natural, besides knowing that this young man was a rookie who didn't know the rules of the antique industry, Chu Chen also felt that his attitude towards people was too arrogant.

Even if you think there is something wrong with the item, it’s okay to want it or not, but since you asked him to wrap it up and say no now, at least you have to discuss it with the other party and say something nice, right?Now it's just an understatement "I'm sorry" and it's over?
It's like you are buying a watch as a gift in a mall, and you ask the clerk to pack the watch, but in the end you say no, and you just say "sorry", what do you think the other party will think?Isn't this a pastime?If you encounter someone with a bad temper, you must be beaten up.

After Hammer heard this, he also felt a little furious, but considering that Xia Zhicheng didn't know the rules, and he still wanted to get Xia Zhicheng's money, he turned his face and said, "Brother, you should be a newcomer Bar?"

Xia Zhicheng said disapprovingly: "What's wrong with just entering the industry, can we be treated specially when just entering the industry?"

Hammer chuckled: "Of course it's impossible, but you probably haven't heard of it. In our business, we can't go back on our word after bargaining."

Before the Republic of China, the trade of antiques was carried out with fingers in the seller's wide sleeves, and the money was not mentioned by each other, probably because the literati thought that talking about money was a bit vulgar.Although this special trading method has gradually been eliminated, the gentle image of the antique crowd must still be maintained in the industry.

As the old saying goes, every spittle is worth a nail. Since everyone is a gentleman, it must be a normal thing to say what is right.

Therefore, in the world of antiques, when you fancy a favorite item from the seller, you can inquire about the price or allow a counter-offer, but once you make an offer and the owner agrees to the price you gave, the transaction must be made.At this time, you can no longer hesitate, let alone haggle over the price, otherwise everyone will think that you are unreliable, and if it is serious, some people may even no longer want to deal with you.

After hearing this, Xia Zhicheng said in surprise: "There are still such rules in this business, so what if there is something wrong with the item after negotiating the price?"

Hammer smiled lightly and said, "If there is a problem, then it is a solution to the problem, but can you point out where there is a problem with my three things? If you can tell one or two things, then let's forget about it!"

As soon as the words fell, the man just now said impatiently: "Okay, okay! Boss, what's the fuss about this matter, since he doesn't want it, I'll buy it. However, the price is the same as you and the little one just now. Is it the same as you said?"

While talking, he also made a gesture of taking out money, and judging from his bulging pockets, it is estimated that there is a lot of money.

"Of course it's the same."

Hammer chuckled and said, "Brother, since you don't want it anymore, I'll transfer it to the boss."

When Hammer spoke, there seemed to be a trace of contempt in his eyes, as if he was telling Xia Zhicheng, you don't want things, but others want them.

This made Xia Zhicheng feel underestimated, and felt a little uncomfortable. In addition, the stack of Hongguoguo banknotes that the man was about to take out from his pocket did not seem to be fake, which made him subconsciously overturn his previous guess. , Don't waste the opportunity to buy good things because of your own guessing in the end.

Thinking of this in his heart, Xia Zhicheng also moved very quickly, and quickly said: "No, I want this thing!"

Hearing this, the man immediately scolded: "Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai Yes! You can’t count your words!”

"This..." Hammer looked hesitant.

The man's behavior made Xia Zhicheng even more appraise the idea of ​​buying the thing. The reason is very simple, it is precisely because the man thinks that the thing is real, that's why he behaves like this.Of course, it's also possible that the man was acting, but Xia Zhicheng felt that acting would not be so realistic.

It's a pity that Xia Zhicheng forgot the old saying that "the masters are all among the people". Some folks' acting skills are no worse than world-class movie kings.

Xia Zhicheng said: "I said no, that's because I didn't know there was such a rule before. If I don't buy it today, am I still a man? Besides, the boss didn't say that he must sell things to you just now, right?" ?”

The man said angrily: "What do you call that? Just now the boss told me that the price is the same. Didn't he mean to sell it to me?"

Xia Zhicheng shook his head: "I don't care, anyway, I asked the price first, boss, who are you going to sell it to?"

The man also said: "Boss, please give me a word. If you still sell him something, I will leave immediately!"

Hammer looked at them who had turned into fighting cocks with a troubled face, finally gave a wry smile, and said:

"Brother, you will never go back on this matter, will you?"

"Of course, it's just a matter of tens of thousands of yuan, so I'm going to go back on my word!" Xia Zhicheng patted his chest and glanced at the man proudly.However, when he said that, he obviously forgot what happened now, it was because of his repentance.

The man said with a dark face: "Boss, have you really decided to sell the thing to him?"

Hammer repeatedly bowed to the man and said: "Brother, after all, this little brother asked for the price first, please bear with me a little longer. I will definitely give you a discount if you like other things later. What do you think?" ?”

"I don't think so much!" The man snorted coldly: "As far as the things on your booth are concerned, only this set of stationery is still worth looking at. As for the others, they are just crooked melons and cracked dates. I don’t want to look at it anymore!”

After speaking, the man walked away.

Seeing this situation, Hammer smiled awkwardly: "Brother, look at this..."

"All right, all right, if I get to this point, if I go back on my word, then it's really nothing... Hey, here's the money, count it carefully!"

As he spoke, Xia Zhicheng handed over a stack of thick banknotes.

"Don't count, we are born once and acquainted the second time, how can I not trust you!"

Having said that, the hammer still spit on his hand a few times, and quickly counted the money: "Just right! Brother, take your things well, and come here often in the future. If there are good things, I will definitely keep them for you ..."

"understood……"

Xia Zhicheng waved his hand and looked in the direction where Chu Chen left, but Chu Chen was no longer in his sight.

"Hey, this teacher Chu is walking very fast. He disappeared in the blink of an eye. I want him to help me look at things... Oh, by the way, didn't he open an antique shop nearby? Go there and look for..."

Originally, Chu Chen actually wanted to go shopping in the market again. It was precisely because he was worried that Xia Zhicheng would go to him for identification again, so he went back immediately. Unexpectedly, he couldn't escape in the end.

So, as soon as Chu Chen returned to the antique shop, he chatted with Yuan Hongjian, a regular customer in the shop, when Xia Zhicheng arrived on his back, leaving Chu Chen speechless.

Xia Zhicheng's behavior just now made Chu Chen somewhat dislike him, but because Xia Zhicheng was more polite to him, he couldn't show his inner emotions, and only wanted to send Xia Zhicheng away early.

However, Xia Zhicheng didn't realize this, he was like a curious baby, he asked one question, and Yuan Hongjian got a little impatient.

"Mr. Chu, I see that besides antiques, why do you also sell jade ornaments?"

Yuan Hongjian laughed and said, "Xiao Xia, you should only come to Panjiayuan occasionally, right?"

Xia Zhicheng asked curiously, "Why do you always think so?"

Yuan Hongjian smiled and said: "It's very simple, otherwise why don't you know that Teacher Chu still has the identity of "Jade King"?"

"Jade King?!" Xia Zhicheng's face was full of surprise when he heard this, and he thought, this old man can't brag, right?
Seeing the suspicion in Xia Zhicheng's eyes, Yuan Hongjian said, "Mr. Chu can even bet on the Emerald King, so can't he be the Jade King?"

"Really?" Xia Zhicheng was shocked when he heard this.

"It can be fake. If you don't believe it, you can ask people in the industry to find out. There are very few people in the jade industry who don't know about it!"

Seeing what Yuan Hongjian said, Xia Zhicheng believed most of it in his heart. At this moment, little stars appeared in his eyes when he looked at Chu Chen. The admiration in his heart was really beyond words. If he was a woman, he probably Chu Chen must not marry.

But just because Xia Zhicheng is a man, Chu Chen felt even colder. He didn't want to see Xia Zhicheng at first, but now he wanted to send him away immediately, so he quickly asked, "Mr. Xia, I didn't know you came to see me." What can I teach you?"
