Chapter 702 Negotiating, the shopkeeper takes action
This person has a good appearance and sparse facial features. Unfortunately, there is a bit of sharpness between his eyebrows.
However, the kind smile on the corner of his mouth instantly melted the sharpness, making people feel kind and unconsciously let go of their guard against him.
He raised his hand and gently patted the young clerk's shoulder. Although his movements were light, he had unquestionable strength and said softly: "Arong, go and do your business, I will receive this distinguished guest!"
When the young clerk heard this, he was obviously relieved, and his nerves that were originally tense due to tension suddenly relaxed.
He nodded respectfully to the middle-aged man, smiled at Chen Yu and the others, and then turned to the other customers.
However, from the corner of his eyes, he still swept towards Chen Yu from time to time.
It turns out that the store has a clear rule that no matter whoever receives the customer, no matter who ultimately causes the transaction, the clerk who initially receives can receive a certain proportion of commission.
The young clerk knew in his heart that customers with extraordinary temperament like Chen Yu were not often seen, and the other party was obviously a capable buyer in every move.
If this transaction can be facilitated, there is no need to say that the generous commission will be made. Maybe it will be able to make a debut in front of the store owner, and thus gain more opportunities to emerge.
In addition, he was also full of curiosity about the shopkeeper who was praised by the shop owner on weekdays.
He wanted to know how his shopkeeper would receive distinguished customers like Chen Yu and what sales methods would he use to promote this big deal.
Although he has not been in the industry for a long time, he understands very well that antique sales are not just simply selling goods, but a psychological game between buyers and sellers. His shopkeeper is an expert in this regard. He has handled countless complex transactions, and he can handle cleverly every time, so that both buyers and sellers can return home with satisfaction.
It even attracted a lot of repeat customers!
The middle-aged man in silk shirt hugged Chen Yu, with a standard posture without losing his humility. "I am Shen Dashan, the shopkeeper of this Bogusian. This little friend, you have a very fond love for this painting and have stopped to look at it for a long time. I believe that he is also a person who knows the goods in the antiques business. If you really like this painting, you can discuss the price."
Chen Yu smiled faintly and said slowly: "Hello, Manager Chen, I really like this fairyland picture, otherwise I wouldn't have stayed here for so long! I just don't know what you are talking about to discuss?"
Hearing that Chen Yu really wanted to buy it, a fleeting and undetectable light flashed in Shen Dashan's eyes.
He replied with a smile, "You have also seen this painting. Whether in terms of painting skills, appearance or artistic conception, it is a rare fine product. The price of 1.5 million is our lowest price.
"But you are a new customer in the store, and you are even more in line with the store's 20th anniversary celebration. Let's do this, I'll give you a 10% discount, 1.35 million yuan. What do you think of the price?"
Chen Yu nodded without hesitation, then slowly moved his eyes to the calligraphy and paintings on the appreciation table, giving people a look of serious consideration.
In fact, Chen Yu is acting.
For this original work of Yuan Jiang, the price of 1.35 million is as cheap as a bargain.
If you can buy it smoothly, store it carefully for a few years, and then send it to a top auction house like Gaogu, the price will be increased by 20 times or even 30 times.
Even if we take a step back, even if this painting is not a genuine work of Yuan Jiang, its collection value cannot be underestimated with its superb painting skills and the sense of time that has been accumulated over hundreds of years.
But Chen Yu has been working in the antique industry for many years and has long been well versed in the way of price negotiation. There are so many techniques and tricks in it. If the seller just quoted the offer, the buyer agreed without hesitation. The seller must be wondering if he had lost money in his selling, and he might even change his mind and find an excuse to stop selling it.
By then, even if the buyer is full of grievances, he will have no choice.
If others don’t sell, you can’t force yourself to buy, right?
Chen Yu pretended to look at it for a while, with a calm expression on his face and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, we are all cheerful people. Whether it is doing business or buying things! The emphasis is on being honest.
"I won't beat you around the bush. You can get a decimal number at most, which is 350,000. If you think it's OK, we'll make a deal now, pay one hand and deliver the goods at the same time. If you think it's not possible..."
Speaking of this, Chen Yu quickly glanced around from the corner of his eyes and found that no other buyer showed strong interest in this painting.
He felt a clear heart in his heart. He sighed heavily, and said helplessly and regretfully: "If not! Alas, even though I like this, I can only give it up beyond my budget."
After hearing this, Shen Dashan frowned slightly.
The curve of the frown was just right, which did not seem too embarrassing, and made Chen Yu feel that he was weighing the pros and cons.
This "Penglai Wonderland Picture" is indeed a friend of the store owner. It has been hung in the most conspicuous location in this store for more than three months.
But there are very few people asking for the price.
As the shopkeeper in the store, Shen Dashan felt quite complaining about this. After all, this painting occupied the gold display in the store, but failed to bring the expected benefits. In the store, he was useless to receive commissions!
But because the owner of the painting has been friends with the shopkeeper for many years, he doesn't have much to say.
He looked at the painting carefully and found that it was seventy or eighty-eight parts of Yuan Jiang's painting style, and the signature was also from Yuan Jiang, but Shen Dashan felt that it was not an authentic work, but a fake painting by an ancient man!
For fake paintings like the Qing Dynasty, the price of 350,000 yuan is really not small, and it can even be said to be very high.
There are some anonymous paintings from the early Ming Dynasty, with good looks, good painting skills and high artistic value, but they only sell for more than 100,000 or 200,000 on the market.
The difficulty now is that the owner of the painting gave a minimum price of 750,000 yuan, and clearly stated that it would not be sold if it was lower than this price.
In this regard, Shen Dashan felt that the other party was a little unreasonable.
Isn’t it a fool to sell a fake product for 750,000 yuan?
He would never buy this price!
After a moment of silence, Shen Dashan raised his head and looked at Chen Yu, "My friend, the price you gave is too low, which really makes me feel a little embarrassed. Otherwise, I'll cut myself and give me 1.2 million in this painting!
"My friend, this is the lowest price I can give. If it is low, I really can't explain it to the owner of the painting."
Chen Yu smiled, with a little kindness, as if talking to his old friends for many years, and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, my surname is Chen, and we are still our own family. If it's a little money, I won't bargain anymore, just be a friend of everyone.
"But your price is still high! Although I like Yuan Jiang's painting very much, I can't give you a price that is beyond my tolerance regardless of the actual situation.
