Chapter 8: Barrier ()

Old Su was a little suspicious, but Zhang Can's words dispelled his suspicion. It seemed that Zhang Can was lucky and had a pie hit on his head. But it was a bit strange. He didn't even see that the painting was double-layered, so how did he see it?

After stopping, Lao Su glanced at Zhu Senlin again, and Zhu Senlin stared at him with a pair of bull eyes!

Zhu Senlin has always been a laughing Maitreya, known as a smiley tiger, a ridiculous tiger, a laughing tiger, and it is better when laughing. Otherwise, it would be even more terrifying!

At this moment, Lao Su suddenly felt a estrangement between Zhu Senlin and him. Lao Zhu had never had such an expression to him, but it was true that Zhu Senlin had been watching the scene. This original work of Yu Ji could only be won for hundreds or thousands of yuan, but it was only blamed that he didn't see it. This made Lao Zhu earn one million yuan, one million yuan, and ordinary people can have one million?

For their Lao Shizhai store, one million is a considerable amount. For the lukewarm business like this, it only has a profit of about 200,000 yuan per month. This requires a cheerful spirit. Sometimes, if you accidentally get a slap, you may lose ten times of money if you lose one time.

However, no matter how much you remedy it, there is no benefit. The only thing you need is to take this painting and try to make a small price. Anyway, as long as it is lower than the price of one million, you can make a little more money. Let’s talk about the relationship with Lao Zhu slowly. After so many years, there will be hard work without credit.

"Xiao Zhang, one million... cough cough... isn't it a little... cough cough... a little that?"

After Zhu Senlin and Lao Su’s relationship for so many years, he naturally knows what his expression means. Lao Su’s expression clearly means that this painting is absolutely worth one million!

During this time, Zhang Can felt more and more calm. Lao Su, who used to feel that his skills were as profound as a mountain, was also suppressed by him. It was absolutely impossible to take revenge. And the most important thing is that this easy-to-get Yu Ji authentic painting, first, can make Lao Su make a fool of himself in front of Zhu Senlin. Not to mention that it has a great effect, at least it can make Zhu Senlin no longer trust Lao Su as before, and secondly, it can also allow himself to completely get rid of the embarrassment. One million cash, he didn't dare to think so before. His previous wish was to earn 300,000 or 500,000, go back to his hometown to build a house and marry a wife. Oh, when he thought of his wife, how is the class beauties he had secretly fallen in love with when he was in high school?

Six or seven years have passed, I haven’t seen it for six or seven years. Maybe I’ve been a kid already?

"Xiao Zhang, what's going on? One million is indeed a little higher, just a little less..."

Lao Su was no longer as calm as usual at this time. Zhang Can and Lao Zhu were attacked by both sides, which made him feel confused. He saw Zhang Can lower his head and smiled, without any sign of speaking. With such a steady posture, he would probably not give in. Maybe he really understood Yu Ji's paintings very well, otherwise he would not have such a big grasp. He couldn't help but speak again, his tone even had a pleading voice, which was really not like him.

How could Lao Su know that Zhang Can was thinking about this time, not the painting Yu Ji in front of him, but the female classmate he had a crush on in high school?

Zhu Senlin was a little anxious. Seeing that Zhang Can was not paying attention, he secretly gestured to Lao Su and stretched out a finger. It meant that one million, was the painting worth it?

Lao Su nodded, then stretched out one finger with one hand and five fingers with the other, indicating a posture of one million.5 million. Lao Zhu immediately knew that although his identification skills were far less than Lao Su, if he said that he had a strong ability in capital operation in this industry.

In the current auctions, there are actually many ghosts, such as caps, gunmen, false lifts, etc. If a physical antique is worth one million, then just use this original Yu Ji as a metaphor. The value of one million is that if Zhu Senlin and the auction house join forces in the auction house, one million can be sold into two million, or even higher.

At the auction site, there are their gunmen, that is, the people they hire. They bid according to their intentions. Sometimes, only their people are acting from beginning to end. If there is someone who wants to take a picture, they will raise the price according to the boss's wishes, so that the people who want to take a picture will pay a higher price. If no one takes a picture, they will bear a little liquidated damages after taking a picture by themselves.

Like the painting Zhang Can gets now, Lao Su said that 1.5 million is the actual price. If he eliminates expenses and 1 million yuan in principal, he can get a profit of more than 200,000 yuan. However, if Zhu Senlin operates it himself, he is somewhat sure to get a high price of 3 million yuan. Even if he can't get three million yuan, with his connections, it will be fine to get two million yuan, and the profit can reach at least one million yuan.

When doing business now, we are not worried about whether the price can be raised, but whether there is anything to be sold. As the saying goes, a good woman is hard to cook without rice. If there is no good thing, how can she earn money from those big collectors? Forgery products are still difficult to enter in formal auction houses, and each item needs to be approved by a national appraisal master, and then it will be auctioned publicly. As long as it is genuine, even if the price is as high as the sky, as long as someone is willing to buy it, as long as he has money, it is your desirable thing. Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one is willing to beat the other is willing to be beaten and the other is willing to be beaten.

"Okay, one million, I'll pay one million!"

Zhu Senlin slapped his palms suddenly and said fiercely: "Xiao Zhang, just think that I, Old Zhu, have made you a friend!"

Old Su felt a little nervous. Zhu Senlin's words made him frightened. What people who work are most afraid of is that the boss doesn't trust. If the boss doesn't trust, can he still work long?

In fact, it is the same in all industries. Employees who are fired by their boss will lose their value when looking for a job. It is far less than other bosses who come to poach. If he asks you for a high price, it doesn’t matter if you ask others for it. That’s another matter!

Zhu Senlin smiled again, pulled Zhang Can to the coffee table while sitting down, and asked the guy to pour tea, while taking out the checkbook and writing a check worth one million, and handing it to Zhang Can with a smile.

"Xiao Zhang, I've got it. I'll go to the bank to redeem the bill today and will come to the account tomorrow!"

Zhang Can took the check with a smile, and put it in his pocket without even looking at it. He was really excited. One million, even if he had a clear idea in his heart, he still couldn't calm down. He was trying hard to calm down on the surface.

Lao Zhu couldn't see through Zhang Can, but Lao Su was worried and frightened. With his skillfulness and calmness, how could Zhang Can be his opponent?

But Lao Zhu never expected that Zhang Can would have the ability to see through black and white eyes. He would use his previous vision to deal with Zhang Can now. He was destined to be trampled under his feet.

Old Su smiled embarrassedly from the side, looked at the watch as if he was pretending to be, and then said to Zhang Can: "Xiao Zhang, hehe, I'm happy for you after making such a big sum of money. It's almost five o'clock. The bank is about to get off work. Hurry up and go to the bank to repay the check. I'll treat you tomorrow!"

At this time, Lao Su was most worried that Zhang Can was still here. The more Zhu Senlin talked to him, the more unfavorable it would be for him. He had to send him away earlier, and then talk to Zhu Senlin to eliminate his opinions.

But Zhang Can said lightly: "No hurry, it's the same for tomorrow. It's absolutely fine to treat guests. Old Su will pick a place and go to get together tomorrow night!"

Zhu Senlin stretched out his thumb and praised, "Okay, Xiao Zhang has a good attitude, let's do it this way, tomorrow night, I'll invite this guest, everyone will gather together!"

The employees in the store were immediately overjoyed. The situation where the boss treats guests is usually only during festivals and holidays. It is really rare to treat guests for an outsider!

Old Su was depressed. It seemed that he could not help Zhang Can for a while, just wanted to avoid other accidents.

However, Lao Su couldn't guess Zhu Senlin's idea, and he was a little afraid of anything he wanted.

Zhu Senlin laughed and pointed to Yu Ji's painting and asked Zhang Can, "Xiao Zhang, the matter is over, there are no outsiders here. I want to ask a question, I wonder if you are willing to answer?"

Old Su felt "cat" again!

Zhang Can also know something and replied with a smile: "Boss Zhu, please tell me."

"I just want to ask, how did you see that the painting was painted in the painting?" Zhu Senlin said with a smile, "I just can't figure it out. Lao Su is an old world, he can't even see it. How do you know?"

This is the opportunity!

Zhang Can glanced at Lao Su with an ugly face, and then replied casually: "Boss Zhu, didn't Lao Su really see it? I'm really a little strange. Lao Su is my master. I'm not all my skills taught me. The painting is too far from the edge, and there are obvious marks on the back of the painting. The workmanship of this bag is extremely clever. At that time, I was thinking that a painting passed down from ancestors is very ordinary. From this value, is it necessary to hire such a wise craftsman to make this illusion?"

Zhu Senlin slapped his thighs, and with a "pop", he started to speak loudly from his mouth.

"By the way, let's not talk about the past, but now, it's a great price to hire an extremely skilled craftsman to frame calligraphy and paintings. It's a big deal. There must be something wrong with spending such a big price to pack paintings!"

Zhu Senlin suddenly realized his expression, but Lao Su was very bitter and regretful. Why didn’t he realize this at that time?

In fact, what Zhang Can said is quite far-fetched, but if he succeeds and wins, he can make a fortune of one million out of thin air, and his identity will be different immediately, and what he says will naturally have a weight. All the guys in Lao Shizhai are envious!

Even Lao Su is just as envious. His salary in Lao Shizhai is 10,000 yuan per month and the annual performance bonus commission, but the annual salary will not exceed 200,000 yuan. In the end of the year, the salary can be about 100,000 yuan. After decades of accumulation, his net worth is only more than 2 million yuan. So, he can also take advantage of Zhang Can’s 300,000 yuan. No one cares about the money, let alone his money is not much.

In the collection industry, Lao Su is not a big player, Lao Zhu is not a big player, Lao Shizhai is far from the largest antique shops in Jincheng, and can only be considered to be a medium-sized one. Therefore, Lao Su's salary is only medium-sized, and if he wants to leave Lao Zhu, he will not get a more ideal position.

Zhu Senlin looked at the regretful Old Su, and then at the calm Zhang Can. He didn't have much surprise and excitement after getting this million. It was really unimaginable. If someone with the same status and wealth as Zhang Can, he would have been so excited that he couldn't tell the difference between the east, south, west, and north, right?

"Xiao Zhang!"
