Chapter 121: Stealing the Chicken but Losing the Rice (2)
Zhuang Rui spent the whole day in the Pengcheng Antique Market some time ago, bragging and chatting with Song Jun and others. He was no stranger to this jargon, and the fat old man kept his eyes on his right wrist. He must have taken a fancy to his string of Dzi beads.
Okay, Zhuang Rui felt a little funny in his heart. If I were asked to evaluate the items in this store, it would be absolutely...impossible. But if I were only asked to distinguish between true and false, this fat old man would have miscalculated.
"There are so many customers, I think... let's forget it, old man, I would be so embarrassed if I took away your treasure."
After Zhuang Rui pretended to hesitate, he said something that made "Death for Money" dumbfounded.
"Everyone, everyone, I'm really sorry, the shop is closed today."
Although Qian Yaosi was older, he was very resolute in doing things. After seeing Zhuang Rui's intention to agree, he simply went out and drove the customers away. To him, these people were just fake things in the store.
Even though he bought them all, they are still not worth as much as a single dzi bead in Zhuang Rui's hand.
Seeing the boss speaking, the waiters also rushed out. After five or six minutes, the originally noisy antique store became quiet. In order not to disturb others, Qian Yaosi even asked the waiters to move out.
The rolling shutter door at the entrance of the store was half closed.
"Hey, old man, are you trying to buy or sell by force? With just a few people in your store, can you stop me? Mu Mu, let's go..."
Liu Chuan was startled by the fat old man's actions. In just a few minutes, all the people in the store were shouted out and they were the only ones left in the huge store.
"No, little brother, don't get me wrong. My surname is Qian, and my name is Qian Yaosi. You all know my name after asking around in Nanjing antique shops. How can the old man buy and sell by force? He just wants to be with this little brother.
We’re just talking about business, haven’t you asked your names yet?”
Qian Yaosi had a chubby round face, and he looked like a harmless animal no matter how he looked. He also spoke with a smile on his face, so Zhuang Rui and others also said their names.
"Zhuang Rui, there are so many things here. From the meaning of this man's words, it seems that only one of them is true. Can you tell them apart?"
Qin Xuanbing was a little worried. They all noticed Qian Yaosi's eyes just now and knew that the fat old man had the idea of getting Zhuang Rui's Dzi bead bracelet. Qin Xuanbing and others knew that the Dzi bead was a gift from the Living Buddha, so they were afraid that Zhuang Rui would agree to it.
, if you lose the bet, you will pay for the Dzi beads.
Liu Chuan didn't expect this at first, but after hearing what Qin Xuanbing said, he immediately got angry. He glared at Qian Yaosi and said, "I said you always do things, but it's a bit unreasonable. The objects you put here are a lot.
Let me tell you a hundred pieces. Let my brother sort out the true and false ones. I’m afraid I won’t be able to finish them all next year. Isn’t it true that you are calling Mazi something other than Mazi? It’s a lie.”
When Qian Yaosi heard Liu Chuan's words, he also knew that what he just said was inappropriate. Even if he looked at the objects in the room for himself, it would be difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake in just three to five days.
, not to mention the young man in front of him, if these words spread, I am afraid it will have some impact on his reputation. Although shopkeeper Qian doesn't care much about reputation, who doesn't know the name of "Desperate for Money", but since others
Now that I have brought it up, I can no longer act stupid and act dumbfounded.
Qian Yaosi thought about it in his mind and said: "Brother, you are right. My old man made a mistake. So, the real objects I mentioned are just ceramics. The ceramic objects here are
Twenty or thirty, Brother Zhuang won't suffer a loss now. I won't hide the old man. I'm interested in Brother's string of Dzi beads. And even if Brother Zhuang loses, the price I paid for it will be too much.
It will be very fair, at least 100,000 yuan per pill, what do you think?"
"One hundred thousand, you can find someone else to buy it. This string of dzi beads made of wood was worn by the reincarnated living Buddha of Jokhang Temple for decades and was consecrated and blessed. You want to buy it for one hundred thousand? You don't even have the door. Wood, we
Come on, this old man is really unreasonable."
In fact, Liu Chuan didn't know whether one hundred thousand a piece was expensive or cheap, but when he looked at the dozens of ceramic products of various styles in the store, he couldn't believe that Zhuang Rui's half-hearted master could identify them.
To find out the authenticity, I found an excuse and prepared to escape.
"Has it been blessed by the Living Buddha of Jokhang Temple? And has it been worn for decades?"
Qian Yaosi was stunned when he heard this. He had been to Tibet in the late 1980s and had the honor to meet the Living Buddha of the Jokhang Temple. However, Qian Yaosi would not have been interested in the items worn by the Living Buddha at that time.
, he also knew that objects like this would be kept by living Buddhas after reincarnation, when searching for the reincarnated soul boy, and used to identify the soul boy, and would not be given to others easily. He did not expect that the ordinary-looking young man in front of him would actually give it to others.
There is such a great opportunity.
Qian Yaosi was not afraid that this young man would lie to him. He would know whether it was true or false after a while. He would naturally have a way to identify Buddhist artifacts.
However, after knowing that this was the living Buddha's personal ornament, Qian Yaosi's desire to own this Dzi Bead became more active. He looked at Zhuang Rui and said: "Three hundred thousand, how about it, Brother Zhuang?
If you go all over the country for this price, no one will ever pay a higher price than me."
Zhuang Rui still looked noncommittal, but Liu Chuan was surprised. He could accept the one hundred thousand beads mentioned earlier. The string of Dzi beads had a total of eighteen beads, which was one million eight hundred thousand.
Although this is a lot of money, Liu Chuan's current net worth will not be surprising. Now I heard that the price has increased to 300,000 yuan per piece. Eighteen pieces is a total of 5.4 million RMB. Zhuang
After hearing Qian Yaosi's words, Rui had no reaction, but Liu Chuan's heart began to beat faster.
"My Dzi Bead is a Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead. It is the best among the purest Dzi Beads."
Zhuang Rui said lightly that he had carefully checked the origin of the Dzi bead in his hand. The nine-eyed genuine Dzi bead was extremely rare. Except for places such as the Potala Palace or the Jokhang Temple in Tibet, it was basically not circulated outside. These first
Regardless of whether this dzi bead has been blessed by the Dharma of the living Buddhas of the past generations, it is sold at a sky-high price. This fat old man seems to have paid a very high price, but in fact he has set a trap for Zhuang Rui to take advantage of it.
Qian Yaosi didn't expect that this young man would be so difficult to deal with. He offered a sky-high price of 300,000 yuan per piece. He thought that even if Zhuang Rui was a little wealthy, he would be shocked by the price, but he didn't expect that this young man would be so difficult to deal with.
He was not moved by the price at all, but instead talked about the quality of the Dzi beads he had.
"Of course I know that you have at least seven eyes of pearls." Qian Yaosi thought sadly in his heart, but he still wanted to buy this thing. At his age, money is no longer very important. "Money is what you want."
The name was also spread by Qian Yaosi when he was young. He just offered 300,000 yuan a piece, just because he was used to taking advantage of it.
"Fifty thousand apiece, little brother, if you ask for more, that would be greedy."
Qian Yaosi gritted his teeth and quoted another price. He said that these Dzi beads were not actually worth the price. However, after Qian Yaosi wore those two old Dzi beads, his high blood pressure and heart disease were cured.
It was a very effective relief. The Dzi beads bracelet on Zhuang Rui's hand was obviously of better quality than his own Dzi beads, so he was able to spend a lot of money this time.
After the price was quoted, Qian Yaosi looked at Zhuang Rui, who was still smiling, and couldn't help but feel a little cold in his heart. What kind of young man is this? A little fox, after hearing such a high price, he could still remain calm.
In fact, Zhuang Rui was also a little surprised. He had checked a lot of information before and even called Uncle De in Zhonghai. He knew that if this string of dzi beads was auctioned, the price would be around five million. He didn't expect it.
The fat old man in front of him actually offered such a high price, but Zhuang Rui had no intention of selling the Dzi Bead, and he would never lose a bet with this old man.
"Damn it, why didn't I accompany you to the market that day in Lhasa? How come all the good things happened to this piece of wood?"
Liu Chuan saw that the fat old man didn't seem to be joking, so he couldn't help but said angrily. Zhuang Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If Liu Chuan had been there, he might have stabbed the stall owner with a knife, and he would have had the opportunity to meet the living Buddha.
?It’s almost like squatting.
"Okay, that's the price." Zhuang Rui nodded and agreed.
Shopkeeper Qian was overjoyed when he heard this. Although he had lost money on the sale, money was insignificant compared to his body. He was about to ask Zhuang Rui if he would accept a check or a bank transfer. In order to prevent this, shopkeeper Qian
There are large transactions, but there are credit card machines.
"If I lose, I will transfer the Dzi Beads to you, Boss Qian, at this price. If I win, Boss Qian can't break his promise."
Just when Qian Yaosi was about to ask, he heard Zhuang Rui say these words again, and he was not angry. Young people always have more self-confidence. People who have just entered the antique business and don’t know much about it, at first
They all feel good about themselves, and only after paying tuition fees a few times will they realize the depth and depth of this industry.
"Of course. When my old man talks, he spits out words and makes no sense to swallow them back. Don't you guys think so?" Qian Yaosi agreed and shouted to several waiters in the store, "Of course."
It was greeted with a wave of adulation.
The porcelain in this antique shop is all placed on a shelf, which is divided into five levels from low to high. The highest level can only be taken off by standing on a ladder. There are five spaces on each level, and each space has something.
There is a piece of ceramics on display, including vases, noodle bowls, figures, etc.
Zhuang Rui has read books about ceramics during this period, and has also visited many antique shops in Pengcheng Antique Market. He knows that most of the things on display outside are high-imitation porcelain, otherwise they will be accidentally broken.
It was dropped and the shop owner didn’t even have time to cry.
"Please get started..."
Qian Yaosi waved, and several waiters came forward and took down all the porcelain from the shelves and placed them on a square table in the store for Zhuang Rui to examine and appraise.
The rule in the antique shop is not to get rid of the objects. Generally, others will not hand the objects to you. Leave the objects there for you to take a look at. If you accidentally break them, I'm sorry, that's your responsibility.
