Chapter 228: The High-Price Porcelain Around You (Part 2)
Chapter 22 The sky-high price of porcelain around you (Part 2)
"Brother Qing, what are you doing there? We have to leave."
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly I heard Lin Haitao's greeting. He Qing immediately calmed down and noticed that Kuang Bin had already made a deal with Boss Zhong and they were about to leave with their things.
He Qing walked up. No one paid much attention at this moment and did not notice the strange look on his face.
"Brother He, okay, let's go." Kuang Bin greeted with a smile.
He was about to leave the Zhong family with He Qing and Lin Haitao, but He Qing suddenly stopped him and said, "Brother Kuang, let's wait a little longer."
"Ah?" Kuang Bin said in surprise, "Brother He, do you have anything else to do?"
Lin Haitao also stared at him with a look of surprise. However, after having been with him for so long, Lin Haitao knew him better and seemed to notice something, so he asked: "Brother Qing, are you interested in something?"
Already?"
While asking the question, he turned around and looked around, but the room was empty and there were no other antiques.
"It's not that I fancy something." He Qing said with a faint smile, "I just think something is pretty good and I want to play with it."
"Oh, which one is it?" Hearing what he said, Lin Haitao was even more surprised, because it seemed that all the antiques in Boss Zhong's hands had been disposed of, and the last batch was packaged and sold to Kuang Bin.
"Brother He, Boss Zhong has nothing left." Kuang Bin also said in surprise, "What did you see? There is nothing worth buying in this room, right?!"
But He Qing said seriously: "Brother Kuang, help me call Boss Zhong over, and I'll talk to him."
At this time, the boss and the charming woman were whispering and discussing something by the door, while the other two bosses who came to collect things were still packing their things without even looking at He Qing and the others.
"Oh!" Kuang Bin nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, I'll call him right away."
After that, he strode towards Boss Zhong, while He Qing and Lin Haitao stayed where they were.
"Brother Qing, what did you see?" After Kuang Bin walked away, Lin Haitao asked in a deep voice. Although He Qing said it very indifferently, he knew it well, and the other party must have said that.
His reasoning is that he must have seen something good, but that thing was "hidden in the boudoir, unknown to others", and others did not notice it.
He Qing said: "Haitao, you will know later. You may not know that the ancestors of the Zhong family are truly wealthy!"
He sighed casually, and Lin Haitao was even more surprised and asked: "Brother Qing, how did you see this? Why didn't I feel it? It's normal for people in Beijing to live in this kind of courtyard house, nothing special.
It’s a place, right? But it’s obvious that Boss Zhong is worth a lot, and ordinary people can’t move.”
"Haha, right." He Qing smiled meaningfully, thinking that a man who was once a high official in the capital was now rich. His source of income was very suspicious, and Boss Zhong looked like a corrupt official.
He would only believe it if he was a Qingfeng ghost with two sleeves.
"Brother He, Boss Zhong asked us to wait a moment." After a while, Kuang Bin came back and said to He Qing.
He Qing nodded lightly and said, "Well, don't worry. Brother Kuang, by the way, who is that woman from Boss Zhong?"
He was inquiring about Boss Zhong's gossip. For some reason, he always felt that the woman had a complicated background. There was something mysterious about her and Boss Zhong.
So his curiosity aroused and he just wanted to find out.
Kuang Bin lowered his voice and said: "I heard that he came from the United States. Boss Zhong recognized a goddaughter, but Boss Zhong's biological daughter left him long ago because he and his wife divorced. Anyway, their family situation
It’s more complicated and I can’t figure it out, haha, and I’m not interested in asking. Brother He, why are you asking this all of a sudden?”
He Qing shook his head and said, "Nothing, just asking."
"Yeah." Kuang Bin nodded and said without thinking too much. At the same time, He Qing frowned slightly, as if he thought of something that made him uneasy.
After waiting for about seven or eight minutes, Boss Zhong ended the conversation with the woman and walked up to He Qing and the others.
"Xiao Kuang, what did you say just now? Is there anything else?" Boss Zhong asked casually.
Kuang Bin replied: "This friend of mine wants to see you for something."
"What do you want from me?" Boss Zhong raised his head towards He Qingyi and asked.
He Qing did not beat around the bush, but went straight to the point. He turned around and pointed at the can placed in the corner of the wall and said, "Boss Zhong, can you dispose of that paint can for me?"
"You're talking about the red paint can?!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Boss Zhong was shocked, but even Lin Haitao and Kuang Bin who were standing next to him couldn't help but open their mouths wide, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
He Qing nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, just that thing."
"Young man, what do you want with that thing?! That's a paint can, it's not an antique, it has no collectible value!" Boss Zhong shook his head and smiled. He clearly meant to laugh at He Qing, and only said
This young man is so ignorant that he can't even distinguish an ordinary jar painted with red paint.
He Qing replied solemnly: "I know. Boss Zhong, you don't want it anyway, right? Then please give it to me, I will use it."
Boss Zhong said: "We had that jar when we moved here from Dongcheng. It has been used to hold seeds, cabbage seeds and the like. Young man, if you want it, take it away. I
I don’t want your money!”
He waved his hand generously, indicating that He Qing was determined to take it away at any time, indicating that he didn't take the thing seriously at all. In his eyes, it might even be worse than garbage, and it would pollute his eyes.
But He Qing shook his head resolutely and said: "That's not possible, I have to give you money. Boss Zhong, please make a price."
He seemed to have a very firm attitude, because he thought very clearly that if he took it for free, it would be equivalent to someone giving it to him. The nature of the money would be completely different, and it would become a transaction. At that time, the other party would be
I can't even go back on my word.
"You are quite polite as a young man." Boss Zhong said with a smile, "Since you are so insistent, then you can set a price yourself and decide how much you pay."
He Qing said: "The thing is yours, so you should ask for a price. Boss Zhong, it doesn't matter. Just tell me how much the thing is worth. If the price is right, then it will be no problem."
Boss Zhong smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "I've never seen such a stubborn young man like you. Well, let me make an offer, how about a thousand yuan?"
"one thousand?!"
When they heard the price, Lin Haitao and Kuang Bin were both shocked.
They didn't expect that He Qing politely asked Boss Zhong to give him a price, but the other party was furious. He originally gave away things that others didn't necessarily want, but he actually offered a thousand. If he really paid a thousand, he didn't know how much he could buy.
Such an ordinary jar.
"Boss Zhong, no way?!" Kuang Bin said in shock, "You want a thousand yuan for that paint can?! Didn't you just say it doesn't matter if we take it for free?!"
He was quite dissatisfied, secretly thinking that Boss Zhong was really a stingy man, and Grandet was probably not as harsh as him. Others gave him face, but he just raised the price.
"Xiao Kuang, it doesn't matter if you don't want it." Boss Zhong smiled coldly and said, "If no one wants that thing, I will give it away later. Giving it to the neighbors can be considered a favor, right?"
His attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees. Just now he had generously said that he wanted to give something to the other party, but who knew that he was following the snake on the stick and wanted to take advantage of it.
Although one thousand yuan is not much, for an ordinary paint can, it is undoubtedly a "sky-high price"!
"Brother Qing, let's go, what are you doing with that jar?" Lin Haitao interjected, he was a little angry too. He originally thought that Boss Zhong would give a friendly price, which would be a few dozen or even a hundred, but he didn't expect that the other party had a huge appetite.
It's amazing that a piece of garbage that you don't bother to take care of is actually asking for a thousand yuan. This asking price is more fierce than robbing money.
But He Qing said calmly: "It's okay. Boss Zhong, one thousand is only one thousand. I want this thing, and I will give you the money right away."
After he finished speaking, he took out his wallet from his pocket, counted out a thousand yuan in banknotes, and handed it to Boss Zhong.
Seeing this scene, Lin Haitao and Kuang Bin looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment, while the two bosses standing aside "watching the fun" were pointing at He Qing, obviously laughing at him.
, laughing at him because he has a poor IQ and is actually willing to spend a thousand yuan to buy such an inconspicuous piece of junk porcelain.
"Okay!" After getting the money, Boss Zhong smiled from ear to ear and waved his hands quickly and said, "Take that jar away. Young man, I'll leave the things to you. Don't regret it."
"How could I regret it?" He Qing nodded firmly, "If you sell something to me, it belongs to me and it has nothing to do with you anymore!"
At this moment, no one knows that He Qing is actually afraid that Boss Zhong will regret it. If Boss Zhong asked for a low price just now, he would feel uneasy. Now the other party seems so greedy and charges him a thousand yuan, which is what he wants.
Because no one else except him, Lin Haitao and the others knew that that piece of porcelain was by no means as simple as it appeared on the surface. In fact, it was most likely an extremely expensive piece of porcelain, but not many people had seen it yet.
The true face of Lushan Mountain.
After finishing the transaction with Boss Zhong, He Qing walked back to the oil can, leaned over and picked it up.
"Brother Tao, what happened to Brother He?! Why can't he get along with that paint can?!"
Behind him, Kuang Bin asked Lin Haitao in confusion.
Lin Haitao shook his head blankly. Huo Di, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to have thought of something, and said secretly: "That's it! Brother Qing must have picked up a big leak!"
