According to Li Tianbao's idea, this place should be an "antique city". The porcelain from old kilns, gold, silver and bronze wares from the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, calligraphy and paintings, etc. in the shops are obviously of very good quality, but the prices are also ridiculously high.
"It's really good here. Find a shop that makes porcelain."
Li Tianbao quickly walked into a shop specializing in porcelain, but he just stood in the shop and closed his eyes for less than ten seconds before walking out.
"Boss, why did you come out without doing anything when you went in? Aren't we here to sell that jar?" Li Siyu was obviously very surprised by Li Tianbao's abnormal behavior.
Li Tianbao naturally wanted to feel the atmosphere of the store just now, hoping to use the perception ability of "Pixiu Eyes" to judge whether there were any good items hidden in the store. But the fact was that he didn't find anything, so he returned.
.
"Why talk so much? I am your boss, just follow my orders."
Li Tianbao walked into a store next to the store just now. Although Li Siyu was a little unhappy, he still followed closely and walked in.
Under the light, the jades inside the counter were extremely gorgeous, and several porcelain jars shone with a plump light under the light. It was obvious that this store was engaged in two businesses: porcelain and ancient jade.
"What a strong reaction."
When Li Tianbao just entered the store, before he had time to observe the beautiful jade and old porcelain in the display window, Li Tianbao was pulled back by the reaction in his mind.
"Sir, what can I help you with?" Li Tianbao's entry attracted the attention of a female clerk.
"Oh, I have some porcelain for sale. I wonder if you will accept it here?" After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he placed the bag Li Siyu was carrying in front of the female clerk, and then looked at the various items displayed in the store.
In porcelain and ancient jade.
"Most of them are fine products, but the reaction doesn't seem to come from these things."
Li Tianbao felt a little unwilling because he could not find the source of the reaction. Just when he was about to continue observing, the female clerk said: "Sir, please wait a moment for the boss of our store. I have only been working for a few days, so
…”
The female clerk moved Li Tianbao and Li Siyu to the wicker chairs in the store, brought two cups of tea and placed them on the glass coffee table.
After discovering that Li Tianbao was looking back and forth at the ancient porcelain and jades on the shelf, Li Siyu asked him: "Boss, what are you looking at?"
"It's strange, it doesn't seem to be the case. What is attracting Pixiu Yan?" Li Tianbao said to himself.
"Pixiu eyes? What are they?" Li Siyu was a little confused.
Li Tianbao ignored anyone. Instead, he stood up and walked to the female clerk. Before he could speak, the female clerk said politely: "Sir, please wait a moment. I just called our boss. He will be in a moment."
You can come right away."
"Miss, may I ask where your boss is?"
Li Tianbao's gentle words made Li Siyu on the side a little jealous. He said to himself angrily: "Why haven't I seen you speak so gently to me?"
The female clerk smiled politely and replied to Li Tianbao: "That's all. All the porcelain and ancient jade in the store are here."
"Impossible, think about it carefully, is there anything else that has not been displayed?" Li Tianbao absolutely believed that there were things in the store that had not been displayed, because Pixiu Eye would never react abnormally for no reason.
The female clerk lowered her head and thought for a while. She suddenly smiled and said, "Haha, you guessed it right. I actually have an ancient jade in my hand that I bought from the stall at the door."
When Li Tianbao heard the girl say that there was an ancient jade, his eyes shone with anticipation.
"Gu Yu? Can you let me have a look?" Li Tianbao's passionate eyes made the female shop assistant opposite her blush instantly.
"Sir, it's not that I don't want to show it to you, it's just that I bought it for two hundred yuan, and it's a very ordinary piece of antique jade." The female clerk seemed a little confused about what to do, and said: "I
I'm afraid that if the boss sees it later, he will misunderstand that I am selling my own goods in the store, and I will definitely be fired."
"Then you sell me that thing. I just want to buy a cheap ancient jade to play with."
Li Tianbao knew that there were no other antiques in the store, and the "antique jade" that the female clerk picked up was probably a great treasure, so Li Tianbao immediately took out 10,000 yuan of personal coins and placed it in the girl's arms.
If it weren't for the fear of the girl misunderstanding, he would have wanted to put the money into the girl's pocket with his own hands.
"Sir, as I said just now, my piece of jade is just an antique jade, and I bought it from a very shrewd stall owner. It is not worth that much money."
When the girl faced the 10,000 yuan that Li Tianbao took out, although she was very happy, she still felt that she was wronged and sent the money back to Li Tianbao, hoping to return it to him.
"Why are you like this? You have money but you still talk so much. The money is yours. I am voluntary to lose money. It is none of your business."
Li Tianbao forcibly stuffed the money into the girl's pocket. Because he was just a little anxious and had no intention of taking advantage, the female clerk did not think there was anything wrong with the behavior of the man in front of her, and she looked very cute.
"Well, then, if you like it so much, then I'll give it to you."
After making up her mind, the girl quickly walked to the corner of the store, took off the lady's handbag on the hanger, and took out a very ordinary brocade box from it, and then handed it to Li Tianbao.
"This is it. There is a jade seal inside. The boss who sold it to me said he got it from an old woman. He thought I was beautiful, so he gave it to me at a very cheap price."
Li Tianbao did not listen to the female clerk's words, but focused all his attention on the brocade box in his hand. However, when he was about to open it, Li Siyu walked towards him.
"Boss, do you think it's too much money? You actually spent 10,000 yuan to buy something without even looking at it."
Li Siyu obviously felt sorry for Li Tianbao's reckless spending, and she thought that Li Tianbao deliberately wanted to seduce the female clerk. However, when she found out that the female clerk was just average-looking, she felt even more unhappy.
"No, I don't want this anymore, you'd better return the money to us."
Li Siyu reached out and wanted to snatch the brocade box from Li Tianbao's hand and return it to the female clerk, but when her hand just reached out, Li Tianbao, who was full of excitement, pushed Li Siyu's hand away and said:
"You are sick. Who wants you to meddle in my business? If I had known you were so wordy, I would..."
Li Tianbao's own tone was a little too harsh. Although he quickly gave up what he had not finished, Li Siyu in front of him was already in tears.
"Why are you scolding me like that? I'm just thinking about you." Li Siyu covered her mouth and rushed out of the door. She didn't know where she went.
"Sir, your girlfriend is angry, you'd better chase her quickly." After the female clerk saw Li Siyu running out, she stepped forward to persuade Li Tianbao to chase her back and took the initiative to put the money in front of Li Tianbao.
"She is not my girlfriend, and the business has been negotiated. As the saying goes, there is no turning back, so you and I can't go back."
Li Tianbao just glanced at the door, but did not chase him out. Obviously, having multiple women around him was sometimes a burden, and he always believed that the women around him would always encounter various dangers. Li Siyu
It might be a good thing for her to leave.
Just when Li Tianbao was about to open the brocade box, a man's voice came from behind him, "What do you want to buy?"
Li Tianbao turned around and saw that his boss was wearing a dark gray suit. He looked about forty years old and had a pair of glasses that looked quite knowledgeable. However, after seeing Li Tianbao's ordinary dress, his face was somewhat exposed.
A trace of disdain.
"That's right, I want to sell some stuff, but I don't know if your store dares to accept it?"
Li Tianbao could see that the man looked down on him, and his words instantly became less kind.
"You don't dare to accept it. Are you kidding? Who in this antique city doesn't know that I, Li Dacheng, am notoriously courageous. There is nothing I dare not accept. Even if you bring a Pekingese skull, I will accept it without fail.
"
Li Dacheng's words were full of confidence, and it was obvious that he was a wealthy boss. However, when Li Tianbao came later with the Pekingese skull, he was dumbfounded.
"It's impressive. I guess I found the wrong person. Look at this."
Li Tianbao took out the blue and white porcelain general jar and handed it to Li Dacheng. The latter's eyes immediately lit up, and a very secret smile appeared at the corner of his mouth inadvertently.
"It looks good, let me take a closer look."
Li Dacheng, who had already made up his mind, quickly took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket, reached out to take Li Tianbao's Kangxi blue and white porcelain general jar, and only looked at the bottom of the price before glancing at Li Tianbao again out of the corner of his eye.
"Oh, this thing seems to be an old imitation. You can see that the luster of the glaze is a bit dazzling, and it doesn't always have a very standard plump color."
Li Dacheng's words had no other meaning. He just wanted to test Li Tianbao's quality. Obviously, he had a very mature theory on price reduction.
"You'd better try to lower prices with others. It won't work for me, Li Tianbao. I'm not afraid of finding a buyer for this fine porcelain from the official kilns of the third generation of the Qing Dynasty."
Although Li Tianbao has been in the industry for more than a year, it is not long, especially among players who have been investing in cash for decades. However, he has seen so many good things at home and abroad, and his knowledge in the industry is also very good.
After basically seeing it, Li Dacheng's method is not easy to use in front of him. Just "Xiajia" is enough to tell the other person that he is an expert.
"It turned out to be a colleague from mainland China. I'm so rude and disrespectful."
Li Dacheng put away what he had just done, and instead held the jar and walked Li Tianbao to the coffee table. He also put down the jar and personally got a cup of tea and put it on the coffee table.
"Okay, the item is an object with a large door opening, a high-quality general jar from the Kangxi official kiln. You don't understand these, please give me a price." Li Tianbao took a sip of tea and didn't bother to talk to Li Dacheng.
"Oh, to be honest, the thing is indeed a good thing, but collecting in Taiwan is not so prosperous recently, and good things are not necessarily easy to sell." (To be continued...)
