About half an hour later, Ye Fan came to Jubao Pavilion alone.
Since it was morning, there was no one in the store.
At this time, Ye Fan walked in, and Boss Li from Jubao Pavilion greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Good morning, boss! It's really nice of you to come here so early in the morning. I wonder what antiques you want to buy?" Boss Li had a smile on his face, but there was a twinkle in his eyes.
Kaizi came to the door early in the morning? Today is a good day!
"I want to buy calligraphy and painting. Is the product here reliable?" Ye Fan said with a serious expression.
"Boss, our Jubao Pavilion is a well-known old store in the antique street. It has a good reputation and fair prices. If you don't believe me, go out and ask." Boss Li boasted.
"Are you selling melons to Wang Po and bragging about yourself?" Ye Fan sneered and said.
"Boss, look at our store's advertisement! If you buy a fake product, you'll get ten times the price! If you buy a fake product in our store, we promise to compensate you ten times the original price!"
Boss Li patted his chest and said confidently.
"With your promise, I feel relieved!" Ye Fan said with deep meaning.
However, Boss Li mistakenly thought that Ye Fan had been deceived by him, and did not realize that Ye Fan meant a pun.
"Boss, I wonder what calligraphy and paintings you want to buy?" Boss Li asked with a smile.
"Are there any calligraphy and paintings by Wu Daozi?" Ye Fan asked calmly.
"What a coincidence! Boss, you are so lucky. There happens to be an authentic painting by Wu Daozi in the shop. I will show it to you right now." Boss Li suddenly patted his thigh and said.
"Go for it!"
"okay--"
Boss Li nodded, then turned around and went inside. After a while, he came out with a scroll.
"Boss, these are Wu Daozi's authentic calligraphy and paintings. I spent a lot of money to buy them from the buyer." Boss Li said it in a very colorful way, as if it were true. People who don't know the truth will be really attracted by him.
The realistic acting skills fool you.
At this time, Ye Fan asked calmly: "I heard that someone bought an authentic painting by Wu Daozi from you yesterday. It is said that it cost nearly 30 million. Is your painting a fake?"
Boss Li said without blushing or heartbeat: "Boss, this is indeed the case, but there are two authentic paintings in the shop, and yesterday was another one!"
"I see, how much does this painting cost?" Ye Fan asked calmly.
"Originally, I wanted to offer 30 million, but early in the morning, I also wanted to open the business to get good luck. Let's do this! I'll give you a 10% discount, 27 million! I wonder what you want, boss?" Boss Li smiled.
His eyes flashed with the cunningness of a profiteer.
"billing!"
Ye Fan didn't counter-offer and directly ordered the order to be placed.
Forehead?
Boss Li was a little stunned. He originally thought that Ye Fan would bargain, but he didn't know that the other party would pay directly, and the other party didn't even take a look at it just now.
You’ll know you’re an outsider at first glance!
How hasty! If I had known this, I would have offered 40 million!
Boss Li was very upset, but when he thought that this was just a fake, it was already quite good to sell for 27 million.
Perhaps because he was worried that Ye Fan would suddenly regret it, Boss Li placed the order quite quickly.
After a while, the order was placed, and Ye Fan successfully paid 27 million.
"Thank you boss for the compliment. I will help you pack the calligraphy and paintings now." Boss Li smiled brightly and treated Ye Fan as an ancestor.
"Wait a minute, let me see if the calligraphy and painting are authentic!" Ye Fan ordered calmly.
He didn't even look at it just now, just for this move: to remove the firewood from under the cauldron!
I gave you all the money, even if it’s fake, what can you do to me?
Boss Li sneered secretly in his heart, but he was not worried that Ye Fan would see any clues, because this calligraphy and painting was a high-quality fake. Unless he was a leading figure in the antique world, it was impossible for ordinary people to detect the fishiness in it.
.
What's more, Ye Fan is just a layman!
So, Boss Li said with a smile: "It's okay, just watch! Anyway, I promised that I will compensate you ten for every fake one!"
As a result, before he finished speaking, Ye Fan put away the scroll, smiled coldly, and said: "Boss Li, this painting of yours is a fake!"
"Boss, when we open our doors to do business, what matters is integrity. How could I possibly sell fakes?" Boss Li's face turned a little ashen and he retorted seriously.
"Then do you dare to call an expert to verify the authenticity?" Ye Fan said coldly.
"Why don't you dare? I still say the same thing. If the store sells fakes, you will pay ten for each fake!" Boss Li patted his chest confidently and said confidently.
The reason why he dares to be so arrogant is because this is a fake with extremely high degree of imitation. Unless you are a leader in the antique world, ordinary experts will not be able to find any clues. This chapter has been completed!
