Bai Ming felt a little distressed about this rotten place, but he didn't really care.
Mao Lao and Bai Ming both looked up at the bottom of the bill at the same time. The bottom was dark and deep, like something old.
Bai Ming and Mao Lao nodded at the same time. Mao Lao looked at Bai Ming enviously, which made Bai Ming even more excited, but his face remained calm.
Li Yang was also a little envious of Bai Ming, but it was just envy. He had no other thoughts. The things he had encountered were much better than this slip, and he had seen so many treasures before.
Li Yang has long been content and will not be jealous of others.
"Teacher Bai, how about it? Do you want this table?"
As soon as Bai Ming got up, Jin Dahai asked hurriedly. The hunchbacked old man also looked back at Bai Ming and continued to smoke his cigarette.
Mr. Mao slowly stroked the corners of the desk with his hands. The corners were very good and smooth, with the characteristics of old furniture.
"This is not a table, this is a bill!"
Mr. Mao whispered something, and Jin Dahai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "There are no rules or regulations. This is not just a table for putting things, but it is higher and longer than the table for eating!"
Mr. Mao smiled bitterly and shook his head. He stopped talking. He had no common language with Jin Dahai.
Li Yang understood Mao Lao very well. In ancient times, desks and tables had similar uses, but they were not the same in meaning.
The most important difference between a table and a case is at the spiritual level. In ancient times, the status of the table and the case were completely different. The level of the case was much higher than that of the table, such as placing spiritual tablets of ancestors, incense burners to worship gods, etc.
Put it on the case, not on the table.
This can also be seen from many words used in daily life. We often say "clap the table in surprise", "clap the table in surprise", "clap the table in astonishment", etc., but no one ever says "clap the table in surprise" or "clap the table in shock".
If so...
For this reason, many "cases" in ancient furniture were made of high-grade wood, such as the yellow rosewood case in front of me. It's a pity that Jin Dahai didn't understand all this. What Mr. Mao said was...
It's like playing the piano to a cow.
"It would be great if we could call Teacher Cai here too!"
Bai Ming suddenly shook his head and whispered something. Li Yang and Mao Lao both nodded. Teacher Cai is an authority on miscellaneous antiques in China. He has a better vision than them in this aspect. He can definitely make such a table.
See the good and the bad.
"Do you want it or not? Don't wait!"
The hunchbacked old man suddenly said something and seemed very impatient. After speaking, he stood up again and walked outside to the yard.
Bai Ming glanced at Jin Dahai and hurriedly followed him outside.
"Old man, don't worry. I definitely want it. How much do you want to spend?"
Bai Ming asked the hunchbacked old man in the yard with a smile. He thought this bill was right. Mr. Mao and Li Yang didn't object, so it was basically settled. The three of them are all first-class experts in the country, even if Bai Ming is not
I believe that I will also believe in Mr. Mao and Li Yang, especially Li Yang, who is the king of leaks in this exchange meeting.
The hunchbacked old man took a long drag on his cigarette and said: "My youngest son is going to get married, and the woman requires a house. The house has been scouted, but now there is still a shortage of 1.2 million. To be honest, I have been looking for this table for several years.
Experts have looked at it and they say it can be worth millions. I don’t want more, just 1.2 million. In the past few years, it must be able to grow to 200,000, right?"
"1.2 million?"
Bai Ming looked back at the table. It seemed that the hunchbacked old man didn't understand value.
But fortunately, the old man remembered the value of it several years ago. The price of ancient furniture has been skyrocketing in recent years. A complete case like this with its openwork and raised head could be sold at an auction for six to seven million.
Even if it is ruined, it will definitely be more than 4 million. If you really buy it with 1.2 million, it will definitely be a big mistake that can make you millions.
"Old man, a few years ago, and now now, your table is indeed good, but now that the whole world is in economic crisis, selling this thing for 1.2 million will seem a bit expensive!"
Li Yang, who was checking the incense burner on the table, almost stopped when he heard Bai Ming's words. He didn't expect that the usually careless teacher Bai was also a profiteer, and actually brought the economic crisis into the bargain.
Mr. Mao shook his head and smiled. He was not surprised by this. Experts are also human beings. When they encounter a leak, of course they want to get it at the lowest cost.
"Who are you lying to? Let me tell you the truth, someone came to see it a few days ago, and even drilled some wood bark to do technical appraisal. They said that if it is true, they will buy it for 1.2 million. You don't want it.
I’m just waiting to give it to others, 1.2 million, and I won’t sell it for even a penny less!”
The hunchbacked old man's voice suddenly became louder, and he looked at Bai Ming contemptuously. The economic crisis did not help Bai Ming to bargain.
Bai Ming smiled bitterly but also felt a little nervous. It seemed that a lot of people were eyeing this thing. If this case was true, then what the old man said would not be false. Someone might actually do a technical appraisal.
Well, there are quite a few people who believe in instruments these days.
He wanted to think about it, but Bai Ming did not give up. He was still bargaining with the hunchbacked old man on the price. Li Yang and Mr. Mao were looking at other things in the room to see if there was anything missing that could be picked up.
Li Yang had given up on that incense burner. It was an old thing, but it only arrived in the Republic of China at the latest. Its value was not too high. Such things could be found in ordinary antique stores. Li Yang really had no interest in it.
The room was very empty, and there was nothing valuable in sight. There was an old-fashioned wooden bed inside. Both Mao Lao and Li Yang hurriedly walked in to take a look.
After just one glance, both of them were disappointed. It was a very ordinary wooden bed, a little old, but definitely no more than sixty years old. The wooden bed was also engraved with patterns of workers, farmers and five-pointed stars.
Back in the living room, Bai Ming was still bargaining with the old man with a hunchback. Jin Dahai would help Bai Ming say a few good words from time to time, but the old man with a hunchback just gritted his teeth and refused to loosen the price. He wanted one hundred and twenty.
One hundred thousand, if you don’t buy it, leave.
The hunchbacked old man's reason was also very simple. His younger son needed so much money to get married. If he didn't have enough money, he couldn't afford a house. If he couldn't afford a house, he couldn't get married, so there was no need for him to sell this thing.
"One million and two hundred thousand is enough, Bai Ming can still make a lot of money!"
Mr. Mao sighed and whispered to Li Yang, there were only two of them in the living room, so if you keep your voice low, you wouldn't be afraid of being heard by people outside.
Li Yang nodded, thinking about whether to contact Zheng Kaida. If Bai Mingyao receives this item and sells it, he can also auction it at their auction company. This item is a masterpiece among ancient furniture.
.
Li Yang took the opportunity to sit on the Taishi chair next to him. This chair looked very old, but it was actually a new thing. Mr. Mao also sat on the other side. He had already noticed that the chair was new.
Looking at the case, Li Yang slowly activated his special ability. He has not used his special ability since he came in. Now Li Yang is used to reading it first and then using his special ability to verify it, so that he can learn more things.
The three-dimensional picture instantly enveloped the huanghuali bar case. The next moment, Li Yang had his eyes widened and he sat there blankly.
This huanghuali strip case, which all three of them looked at very well, actually had one layer of light yellow halo all over its body, except for the long front strip and one leg, which had seven layers of halo.
Under the three-dimensional picture, Li Yang also discovered that this table was not made of huanghuali. Only a thin layer of huanghuali on the surface was made of huanghuali, and the main body was made of very ordinary wood.
Even the area with seven layers of aperture is only a thin layer. It was peeled off from real ancient furniture and re-attached. Under the three-dimensional picture, all traces of splicing are clearly exposed.
Li Yang was a little stunned. The three of them were actually blinded. If it weren't for his special abilities, this thing would definitely be able to fool them all. It was clearly a well-made high-end imitation.
"One million and two hundred thousand is one million and two hundred thousand. Old man, can I pay one million first, and give me the remaining two hundred thousand in a few days, and I'll give it to you. I can give you a call first."
IOU, do you think this will work?"
Bai Ming's voice came from the yard again. It seemed that he couldn't compete with the hunchbacked old man, and finally agreed to a price of 1.2 million.
"IOU? How many days will you really pay it back?"
The hunchbacked old man glanced at Bai Ming in confusion. At least he did not continue to refuse. Bai Ming's eyes immediately flashed with joy.
"Don't worry, I will definitely pay it back. I can write on the IOU that if the balance is not paid within the specified period, you can take the table back and the one million will be given to you for free!"
Bai Ming immediately slapped his chest and said loudly. Li Yang was still sighing in his heart. The antique industry is so deep. Three first-class experts can do eye-catching together. What else can't happen?
Both Bai Ming and Mao Lao are experts who often appear on TV and are very famous throughout the country. These scammers are really courageous, and they have deceived the experts.
But after thinking about it, Li Yang understood again that if he were not an expert, he would not be so easy to deceive. It is true that Bai Ming and Mao Lao are experts, but they are proficient in ceramics, not ancient furniture. With their status as experts, they will be more
He is so confident that he dares to take action as long as he sees the right thing. Unlike ordinary people, he will hesitate even if he sees the right thing, and even ask other experts to help him. Few people dare to spend so much money to collect it at the first sight.
This thing.
If you think about it this way, it is better to find an ordinary person than to find an expert who knows the industry, so that you can easily deceive successfully. As long as you are not an expert who is proficient in this industry, you will not be much better than others.
If Mr. Cai Guoqing and Mr. Cai follow him, the situation will be different. I believe Mr. Cai’s experience should be able to see the problems in this case. However, if such a person really follows, maybe they will not bring Bai Ming. That will definitely
You are asking for trouble.
Putting away his special ability, Li Yang walked to the yard. Bai Ming was already preparing to draft a contract. After signing the contract and paying the money, Bai Ming could officially buy it with this lesson, and then watched helplessly as one million fell from his hands.
Fly away. As for the 200,000 yuan, these scammers will not dare to ask for it again.
"Ahem!"
Li Yang coughed twice, and Bai Ming immediately turned around and looked at Li Yang suspiciously. Li Yang gave Bai Ming a look. Bai Ming, who was surprised, looked back at the hunchbacked old man, said sorry, and then walked to Li Yang.
Come this way Yang.
"Teacher Bai, don't rush to sign the contract yet, I feel a little unsure!"
Li Yang whispered to Bai Ming, and Bai Ming was suddenly shocked. This was a big business worth millions. If there was really a problem, he would probably cry to death.
"Where are you not sure?"
Bai Ming asked nervously and carefully. It was not that he doubted Li Yang, but it was not easy to encounter such leaks that could earn millions. Subconsciously, Bai Ming didn't want this business to go to waste.
"It's hard to say now. I'll tell you later. You'd better contact Teacher Cai before talking about buying this thing!"
Li Yang looked around and replied in a low voice that he was not afraid of these liars retaliating against him after exposing the truth. Liu Gang could follow him. Not to mention the bad old man and a middle-aged man in front of him, he would not be afraid of a dozen more.
Not afraid, Li Yang was extremely confident in Liu Gang's reaching out.
Jin Dahai secretly glanced at the hunchbacked old man. A glint flashed in the hunchbacked old man's eyes, but he did not speak. He just shook his head gently. Bai Ming's expression changed continuously. As long as they were not stupid, they would know that something unexpected happened.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jin, it's like this. I just found out that the cash on hand has been misappropriated by my wife. Can you wait for me for two days? You can keep this thing for me until I collect enough money.
I’ll give you my sex, and you don’t have to go through the trouble of writing an IOU!”
After hesitating for a while, Bai Ming finally made up his mind. The temptation of millions was really great. After hearing what Li Yang said, he did not give up immediately, but he would not pay for it immediately. He still listened to Li Yang.
I would like to invite Teacher Cai here to take a look. Teacher Cai is the real authority in this field.
"Humph, there is no sincerity, I won't sell this thing to you!"
The hunchbacked old man snorted coldly, waved his hand impatiently, and said loudly: "Let's go, everyone, get out of here!"
Jin Dahai hurriedly grabbed the hunchbacked old man, whispered a few words of advice, and immediately ran to Bai Ming's side to communicate in a low voice. Li Yang didn't hear clearly what he said, and he wasn't interested in listening. This ***
He has seen through it, and he really doesn't want to stay here anymore.
"Third uncle, is third uncle at home?"
Suddenly there was another knock on the door and a scream, which was similar to Jin Dahai's scream just now.
The hunchbacked old man didn't even look at Bai Ming. He lazily agreed and slowly walked over and opened the door.
There were three people standing outside the door, one of whom was a few years older than Jin Dahai and dressed similarly. The two looked quite similar. When the man saw Jin Dahai also in the yard, he was immediately stunned.
Just stunned for a moment, the middle-aged man in his forties immediately turned to the hunchbacked old man and shouted excitedly: "Uncle Third, Boss Gao is here, bringing cash. The results of the appraisal done by Boss Gao have come out.
