Since you are asking a straw boat to borrow arrows, you must have fog. If there is no fog to cover your eyes and thoughts, how can a shrewd person like Kuang Maoqi be easily fooled? In Li Huqiu's plan, Kuang Maoqi is looking at the palace envoy's note at the moment.
It was the mist on the river. The post he saw now was real.
Kuang Maoqi carefully opened it and looked at it carefully. He looked very carefully and used a magnifying glass to read word by word. He was not only reading the words, but also reading the paper and ink. He looked at the reception room of Duobao Building for a long time meticulously.
The atmosphere inside was solemn and depressing. Suddenly, he suddenly changed his color, and the important people were moved accordingly. However, he saw a look of surprise and joy on his face, clearly looking like a jackal rejoicing when he meets a sheep. Then he leaned forward again.
Tan, carefully picked up the treasure sticker and continued to look at it.
The reason why Kuang Maoqi valued it so highly was because of the extraordinary origin of this treasure. After the Song Dynasty, the land of China experienced a long period of ethnic minority rule, and many literary and romantic treasures were destroyed in the war. There are very few original manuscripts of famous paintings that have survived.
This Cai Jing was the prime minister in the late Northern Song Dynasty and a famous legal master. Together with Su Dongpo, Huang Tingjian and Mi Fu, they were called Su Huang Mi Cai. Although Cai Jing's reputation as an official in history was not good, his calligraphy was indeed
It can be said that he was the top of the era. There is a saying in the collecting world: Su Huang, Mi and Cai are ranked according to their temperament, so Cai Jing is ranked at the end. If only the painting skills are compared, the ranking is just reversed. This palace envoy
Tie is a work from his prime, with vigorous brushwork, bold and vigorous appearance, joy and calmness. It has both the handsomeness of the two kings and the vigorousness of the Tang Dynasty family. The brushwork is natural without being indulgent and elegant; in terms of knotting,
The strokes of each word are of different weights and come from nature; the strokes are echoed from beginning to end, creating a diverse and unified font; in terms of line layout, each word and line are carefully arranged, so that the echo between the front and back can be achieved while looking left and right, achieving a vivid and vivid charm.
situation.
What Kuang Maoqi was looking at at the moment was the original post that could no longer be authentic. He spent two hours looking at it. Finally, he carefully closed the post, took a long breath, nodded to Gao Yuze and said, "It's most likely the original.
!" This was the code they had agreed upon before they came, which meant that he had been able to determine the authenticity. But in order to facilitate Gao Yuze's bargaining, he deliberately kept his words secret and left a little doubt.
After hearing this, Li Huqiu understood his intention and asked pretending to be puzzled: "Why is it called extremely possible? Is there something suspicious in this post that makes Master Kuang doubtful?"
Kuang Maoqi quickly waved his hand and said: "That's not the case. It's just that the famous posters after the Song Dynasty are too rare in the world. Although those of us who are in the antique industry are called authoritative by the world, it doesn't mean that if we say it is true, it is true. This way
It’s best for your baby to find more famous experts to appreciate it.”
Qiao Yunfei knew the secret code a long time ago, and even knew that Kuang Maoqi said it on purpose. They knew that Li Huqiu was eager to spend money and could not wait to ask a famous expert for appraisal. It had been agreed before coming, and Gao Yuze was making a fool of himself, but he pretended to be that bastard.
Without hesitation, knowing that it was his turn to speak, the man stepped forward and said to Li Huqiu: "Although your thing still makes people doubtful, at least what Master Kuang said is very likely to be true, buddy.
I was planning to prepare a gift for the old man, and I think your post looks good, how about we talk about the price?"
Li Huqiu secretly laughed, the drama was coming. He looked at Gao Yuze again and thought to himself: It's your turn to appear?
As expected, Gao Yuze glared at Qiao Yunfei angrily and said: "Didn't I tell you, we are here just to help our friends, and we have no intention of buying anything. After we are done, I will accompany you to Rong Baozhai for a walk. You are not letting your friends know that you are talking like this."
Are you embarrassed?" Then he turned to Li Huqiu and said: "Brother Huqiu, since you are good friends with Luoyan and Chunnuan, then we are not outsiders. This is Yunfei's temperament. There is nothing evil in being outspoken. Things are good things.
, but since Master Kuang doesn’t dare to be absolutely sure, we have to ask another expert to take a closer look, and I’ll take care of this matter.”
Damn, you are so mean. Li Huqiu didn't realize it. He pretended to be disappointed at first, then looked at Qiao Yunfei, and figured out the shape of a drowning man meeting a straw, and said urgently: "To be honest with you two, I can guarantee this post."
It's absolutely true. This is passed down from my master's ancestors. If I don't really encounter difficulties, I will never take action. If you are interested in moving away, the price can be discussed. The one auctioned by Jiaxinzhai in Hong Kong Island at the beginning of the year
The Tang Dynasty rubbings of "Lanting Preface" cost 35 million, but the one I posted is an authentic one. Although it is a little different in age, everyone knows that there are as many rubbings as there are, and their value is vastly different from the original."
Qiao Yunfei still wanted to bid, but Gao Yuze just blocked it. As the two were arguing, Kuang Maoqi suddenly said: "Why don't you look at the pot again? After reading it, we can discuss whether it is even or uneven."
The hot water has been boiled for a long time, and the pot looks like the same one. Wang Mao made the tea himself, and filled the pot full of it. After a while, he opened the lid and saw that the pot of tea was full of foam.
It was extremely turbid. Wang Mao was about to pour tea into the cup, but Kuang Maoqi waved his hand to stop him and said: "You are not busy yet. If the small stone cold spring teapot is real, the tea leaves will be difficult to fall to the bottom because of the rising bubbles at the bottom of the teapot, so they will be soaked more fully."
, which also makes the tea soup look turbid. Let's steep it for a while longer to see if the tea leaves sink to the bottom." Wang Mao had to stop after hearing this, and quietly looked at Li Huqiu, hinting to him that the teapot had been replaced by a real one.
, Kuang Maoqi will test the weight later, don’t forget to exchange it back. The two of them are both great thieves in the world. They exchanged two identical teapots under the eyes of a few ordinary people, and they naturally got it. Li Huqiu nodded slightly.
. Asked Kuang Maoqi: "Can I pour out the tea soup now? Yixiao: This thing has been in our hands for so many years, and this is the first time I use it to make tea."
Kuang Maoqi nodded and said: "Open the lid first, let's take a look at the tea soup, and then we can pour the tea. In fact, I also want to taste the taste of the tea brewed in this famous pot."
Opening the lid of the pot, everyone looked into the pot. Sure enough, the tea leaves were still suspended in the water. Even if they did not fall to the bottom, the foam was still there. While everyone was amazed, Wang Mao hung the teapot high and played a trick.
The dragon came out of the water and poured half a cup of tea into the tea cups in front of everyone. Everyone ignored the tea and hurriedly looked at the tea soup in the cup. They saw the clear and yellow tea soup spinning rapidly in the cup, and the heat was brought up.
The fragrance of the tea was refreshing. Kuang Maoqi praised the beauty, raised his cup and took a sip. The others also raised the tea soup in front of them and took a sip. But only Qiao Yunfei picked up the cup, drank a toast directly, and swallowed with a gulp.
After taking a sip, I saw other people show expressions of savoring the ginseng fruit after taking a sip, but he was the only one who ate the ginseng fruit like Zhu Bajie and could not taste the taste.
Gao Yuze didn't understand the reason and asked: "What's the reason? Why does the tea soup become clear when it comes out? Is there a sieve hole installed in the spout?"
Kuang Maoqi shook his head and said with a smile: "The sieve holes must be installed, but it cannot stop the smiling tea leaves. If it is so simple, how can it be worthy of the work of a generation of pot enthusiasts? The secret is still in the craftsmanship. When the pot pours tea out, the spout
After the baby is heated, some bubbles will also be produced in the hollow part. These bubbles cannot prevent the water from flowing downward, but they can hold the tea leaves to fall down. This makes the tea soup in the cup clear. Such a concept and technique can be called a masterpiece.
Excellent product.”
Qiao Yunfei asked: "So the pot is also real?" Such a question was equivalent to admitting that the treasure sticker was completely genuine. Kuang Maoqi smiled bitterly to himself, nodded and said: "No need to weigh it anymore, it is undoubtedly authentic."
At this point in the transaction, the treasure tasting has ended. Kuang Maoqi is more shrewd than Li Huqiu expected. He had to change the plan temporarily and replaced the original plan of fake pot and genuine stickers with both being genuine. In the original plan,
I thought that Kuang Maoqi would look at the real stickers first and then the fake pots. This would give rise to preconceptions. Because the more precious treasure stickers are real, it would be easy for him to be subjectively paralyzed that the pots would not be fake. In addition, Ma San
My craftsmanship is truly unparalleled in the world. This pot has both body and shape, and it is indeed no different from the real thing in terms of appearance. Otherwise, Li Huqiu would not have decided to use this pot to match the "Gong Shi Tie" as soon as he saw it.
》Come to deceive the great expert Kuang Maoqi.
After the treasure appraisal was over, Li Huqiu pretended to greet Wang Mao to put the treasure away, and expressed his gratitude to Kuang Maoqi with clasped fists in his hands. In the future, he would surely give the other party's share according to the rules of the trade. Gao Yuze was also a little uneasy at this time.
After holding back their anger, they tried to encourage Qiao Yunfei to mention buying the treasure again, but Kuang Maoqi quietly stopped him with a wink. The three of them let Li Huqiu put on the posture of seeing off guests, and got up and walked out one after another. Kuang Maoqi peeked at Li Huqiu.
Even though he was seeing off guests, he still peeked at Qiao Yunfei who was interested in buying treasures from time to time. His expression showed a sense of reluctance and expectation. At this point, Kuang Maoqi believed that all the coincidences were indeed just coincidences. The reason why he was so cautious was naturally
Because Duobaolou took in Liang Sihan's son, he was very worried that the other party would try to treat him in return.
As they walked to the door, both sides were doing their best. Li Huqiu was not of equal height, so Qiao and Qiao spoke first, saying, "You three, stay here."
As expected, Gao, Qiao and Kuang Maoqi stopped and turned around. Gao Yuze was secretly proud and asked with a smile: "What else can brothers Huqiu do?"
Li Huqiu looked solemn, frowned and hesitated for a long time, as if he had made a great determination, and said in a deep voice: "To tell you the truth, the reason why I am eager to get rid of these two treasures is because I am anxious to wait for the rice to be cooked.
If you are willing to sell these two treasures, I am willing to sell them at a price lower than the market price. These two treasures can be regarded as the most important treasures no matter where they are. You are definitely a big loser in taking the elixir now."
Gao Yuze pretended to hesitate and said: "Isn't this good? If we really take advantage of this moment to buy your things, it wouldn't be appropriate. This would be a bit advantageous."
Otherwise, what the hell are you doing here? Li Huqiu remained calm and waved his hand: "If you two are willing to take action, you will have helped me a lot. I appreciate your kindness."
Qiao Yunfei was afraid that Gao Yuze would delay the matter for too long, so he rushed to say: "In that case, let's go back and discuss it."
When Kuang Maoqi heard this, he cursed in his heart: It's a waste of time to negotiate. They have already made it clear that they will accept the loss. This is called "breaking the wrist" in the industry. If the buyer understands the rules of the industry, he should leave some room for him at this time. Don't
It would be useless for everyone to risk the other party who is doing the best and break up. This Qiao Yunfei is a fool but he is also a master who doesn't take enough advantage. If you let him talk nonsense, it will probably lead to bad things. Thinking of this, he quickly winked at Gao Yuze
The latter understood, took a step forward and stopped in front of Qiao Yunfei, saying: "Since Brother Huqiu has talked to this point, then we are not friends enough to watch the fun anymore. There is no need to discuss, we are evened out!"
The price will be based on the Hong Kong Island transaction record you mentioned before."
Li Huqiu immediately changed his color, frowned and pursed his mouth into a line, apparently hesitant to make a decision. Kuang Maoqi shook his head and said: "The price is indeed too low. It is too little to buy the palace envoy sticker alone, but after all, it is
I am the only one who has authenticated the palace envoy stickers, and there is still a slight risk of buying a fake. In this way, the price is still acceptable. Looking at it, there are not many collectors in the capital who can afford this money at once."
"Brother Gao, if I give you these two items evenly, can you promise never to sell them to Rongbaozhai Jigu Pavilion?" Peers deceive each other, and it is an unspoken rule that large antique stores do not circulate with each other. This is
At that time, Li Huqiu still did not forget to make this request, which further increased the credibility of the matter.
Gao Yuze readily agreed.
The deal was concluded, and both parties no longer needed to speak with masks on. Li Huqiu looked at Gao and Qiao, who looked delighted, and couldn't wait to ask: "When will the deal be made?"
Paying one hand and delivering the goods is a matter of course, and it is also the rule in the industry. Before the transaction is officially completed, the things still belong to Duobao Building. If a buyer willing to pay more money comes to disrupt the situation, it cannot be said that there are no variables at all.
.Gao Yuze held the small stone cold spring kettle with joy, looked at it and said to Qiao Yunfei: "Brother, it's your turn to take action, pay the deposit."
Qiao Yunfei rubbed his big hands with excitement on his face. He was secretly thinking about how much money he could make by reselling the second treasure after he got it. If he could partner with Guo Shenyang, a wealthy young man from Hong Kong, how much development would there be in the future. In short, his mind was full of good things. Listen.
After Gao Yuze reminded him, he realized that the most important thing now was to spend money quickly to finalize the deal. He quickly took out the check from his arms, filled in the maximum limit of five million and handed it to Li Huqiu, saying: "I didn't want to buy it when I came here, so
I haven't made any preparations. This is the deposit. I'll collect the remainder tomorrow and bring it back." After that, he picked up his things and left.
Li Huqiu took it with a smile and let him reach for it without saying a word. He only looked at Kuang Maoqi. The latter's face was slightly red, and he cupped his fists and said, "Brother Huqiu, it's my fault that I didn't explain this to them clearly."
After speaking, Gao and Qiao quickly stopped Gao and Qiao. They said with a wry smile: "This is the rule in the industry. The goods will not go out until the money is in hand. Unless there is a capable guarantor, it will not work even if you give a deposit." I was afraid that the two of them would not understand.
He added: "If something is in the door, the seller has the right to dispose of it at any time. If someone disrupts the situation and offers a higher price, the seller can pay liquidated damages and resell it to others. This is the rule."
Gao and Qiao looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time. A surly look flashed in Qiao Yunfei's eyes, and he said in a ferocious voice: "What the hell are the rules? How much money can the King of Hell still owe to the little devil?" Gao Yuze did not dissuade him this time, but
He sneered and said: "As long as I say something, who in these four-nine cities dares to disturb me?"
Li Huqiu looked at them without saying anything, but took two iron galls from Wang Mao's hand, squeezed them hard and handed one to Qiao Yunfei, saying: "You are not the king of hell, and I am not a little devil."
The other one was handed to Gao Yuze and said: "I don't know who the most awesome person in Sijiu City is, but it's definitely not you. Even Chu Lie who broke your arm wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous in front of me!"
Gao and Qiao took the iron galls and peeked at them. They were so frightened that they gasped. They saw that the two iron galls had been pinched and deformed, and there were even obvious fingerprints on them. The two of them suddenly became crazy.
The cold frost on Li Huqiu's face disappeared, and he returned to his warm smile, and said to them: "You two helped me when I encountered difficulties in Duobao Tower. I am very grateful, but the tradition passed down by our ancestors
Rules are rules. You two paid a deposit, but you don't trust me if your things are here. I understand. We can also think of a compromise. Do you think this will work? The things are neither here nor here.
At your place, we will deliver the goods to a place where you and I can rest assured. If someone comes to pay a high price before the transaction tomorrow, you will also know immediately. Whether to raise the price or not is entirely up to you.
In one thought.”
Gao Yuze thought for a while, this was an acceptable plan, and the candidates were ready. The chief of the miscellaneous group of the Tangtang Museum was here. He temporarily sent these two items to the museum warehouse for safekeeping. He nodded and agreed: "Kuang
The master is here, he has been doing the job of taking care of both families, so I can rest assured that I can leave the things with him, but I wonder if Brother Li can rest assured?"
Li Huqiu quickly clasped his fists and said, "That's natural. I'm just afraid that Master Kuang doesn't want to take this risk."
Both Gao and Qiao were like clockwork. Kuang Maoqi had no room to refuse. He nodded quickly and said, "It's not a big deal if you only store it for one night."
Li Huqiu clapped his hands and shouted: OK! He shouted to Wang Mao and sang in a long voice: "Duobaolou will ship the goods at the going price, and the things will be rolled up by Master Gao and Master Qiao." This was also the liberation of the antique shop.
It was the old rules before, but no one has practiced this anymore in recent years. Nowadays, antique shops want to be low-key and low-key every time they make a sale.
In front of Gao Yuze's BMW, Li Huqiu officially handed over the two wrapped treasures to Kuang Maoqi and said: "Please inspect the goods again. Once the items leave the door of Duobaolou, you can't look back. Please inspect them again in person to see clearly."
The latter took it solemnly, carefully opened the box dedicated to Duobaolou, and took out the two treasures to look at. He had already carefully looked at these two antiques before, and when he looked at them again, they would definitely not be the same as when he looked at them for the first time.
He was so careful, and only looked at the general appearance and materials, and found that there would be no mistakes. He also believed in his own eyes, and felt that even if there were only a few glances, it would be difficult to hide if there were fakes. Not to mention these two items.
From treasure appraisal to packaging, he participated in the entire process and never left his sight for a moment. When he heard Qiao Yunfei's impatient urging, Kuang Maoqi carefully put the two antiques back into the box. After wrapping them, he gave Li Huqiu a fist and packed them.
He handed over the written receipt and said, "Please keep it!"
Wang Mao followed and sent it out. Li Huqiu handed him the receipt and said: "Keep it, we have the working capital." Wang Mao looked at the exhaust smoke of the BMW and was a little worried: "I'm afraid there will be trouble.
” Li Huqiu smiled and said: “As I said, no one can touch Duobao Tower here! Besides, no matter how troublesome we are, we will never be more troublesome than Master Kuang?”
"Li Huqiu!" A female voice with a clear accent came into their ears. The two of them looked around. Across the street, Ma Chunnuan was standing in front of Yabo Xishi's shop, looking over with dissatisfaction. Wang Mao patted Li Hu.
Qiu looked over his shoulder and said with a smile: "It seems that you are in quite a lot of trouble."
