Li Dacheng's words are half true and half false. In recent years, Taiwan's antique market has not been as prosperous as mainland China due to geographical and number of restrictions, but good things can be sold no matter where they are, so his purpose is still to keep prices down, but in a different way.
"It seems that this guy is going to bargain for the price no matter what. Find a way to deal with him."
Li Tianbao thought of a way to get the best of both worlds, but he did not implement it immediately. Instead, he said to the female clerk who had been standing next to him: "Girl, can you help me go out and buy a bag of betel nuts."
"Boss? Can I go?" The female clerk listened to Li Tianbao's request and looked at Li Dacheng who was sitting on the chair.
"Of course. I didn't expect that Boss Li is a mainlander who likes betel nut. Go quickly, go quickly."
After getting Li Dacheng's permission, the female clerk took Li Tianbao's one thousand yuan and quickly walked out of the store.
"Actually, I still have something I want to sell, but I'm afraid I can't find a buyer who knows the goods in Taiwan." When Li Tianbao spoke, he looked at Li Dacheng's face and found that he immediately shifted his gaze from the general jar to
On one's own body.
"Is there anything good? Can you open my eyes?"
Li Dacheng couldn't help but let out an exclamation. Obviously in his eyes, the fine blue and white porcelain from the Kangxi official kiln was already considered a rare object, and if Li Tianbao still had something to show for it, it must be a rarer thing than the blue and white porcelain.
"I originally wanted to find a good seller for this item in Taiwan, but after searching for a long time, I couldn't find one. There wasn't even an owner who knew about Kangxi official kiln porcelain, let alone my other treasure."
Li Tianbao acted very cautious, but in fact, even he himself did not know the quality of the jade seal in the brocade box, but he had a feeling that it was definitely a pretty good treasure.
"Boss Li, you don't want to deliberately seduce me with fabricated objects. I'm not a rookie."
Li Dacheng was naturally not a rookie, and he even began to wonder if Li Tianbao had any other good stuff. This was also a way of asking questions.
"Since you doubt me, let me open your eyes." Li Tianbao said, taking out the brocade box from his pocket, placing it on the coffee table in front of Li Dacheng, and opened it with his own hands.
It was a four-inch-circular seal, but the jade seal was obviously a little dirty. It was probably because the previous purchaser had deliberately not cleaned it in order to make it look older. Even so, the white and greasy jade texture could be seen, with five lines carved on it.
The lifelike dragon carving has a line of ancient text engraved on both sides of the jade seal, but one corner is obviously made of bright yellow metal.
After Li Dacheng saw the jade seal in the brocade box, his face clearly showed an unusual look of surprise.
Li Dacheng couldn't wait to reach out and put on the white gloves that were already on his hands. When he couldn't find them, he realized that the gloves were already on his hands.
"What's going on? This guy actually forgot to put the gloves on his hands. Could it be that this thing..."
Li Tianbao immediately thought of a cultural relic that was beyond the national treasure level. But he was not sure that a national treasure of that level could be unknowingly obtained by a female shop assistant.
"Boss Li, where did you get this thing?"
Li Dacheng was the first to read the words under the seal. At that moment, his face once again showed unusual surprise. Even the smile in surprise was suppressed by the surprise.
"What characters are written? Are they the eight seal characters?"
Li Tianbao's more than half a year has not been wasted. Although he has not appreciated many national treasure-level cultural relics on the spot, he still knows about some super cultural relics and hopes to have the opportunity to see them. However, this Fang Yuxi
It was obviously very consistent with the super cultural relics he knew. This made him somewhat excited.
"This thing is passed down from my family. The descendant's surname is Aisin Gioro."
Li Tianbao's words of "Aixinjueluo" made Li Dacheng stand up immediately, and looked at the smiling An Ran with wide eyes, without saying a word for a long time.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about the blue and white porcelain from the Kangxi official kiln first."
Li Tianbao promptly stopped talking about the jade seal, reached out to take it from Li Dacheng's hand, put it into the brocade box, and then put it away.
"Boss Li, don't worry, let me take a look, don't..." Li Dacheng obviously paid special attention to the jade seal, but Li Tianbao didn't give him a chance to take another look, which made him really anxious.
"I said, let's talk about the blue and white porcelain from the Kangxi official kiln first. Without an honest boss, I will not sell the jade seal."
Li Tianbao's original plan was to use the jade seal in the brocade box to attract Li Dacheng to pay a high price. Seeing that the other party had fallen into the trap, he once again brought the topic back to the blue and white porcelain general jar.
"Okay, since Boss Li wants to sell the blue and white porcelain, please give me a low price. If I can accept it, I will try my best to satisfy you."
Li Dacheng gave up his plan to keep the price down, which made Li Tianbao show his trademark evil smile, pondered for a moment and said: "Twenty-five million, I won't buy it even if it's a penny less."
"Twenty-five million! This is a bit high."
Li Dacheng's face showed a bit of embarrassment. He knew that the market valuation of this thing was only about 20 million. Although it could be sold for more, it was very limited. This was a problem for people who wanted to make high profits.
Of course it is not a good thing for him.
"Forget it, I'll ask other stores. If I can find a more honest store, I'm also thinking of selling the jade seal just now. I estimate it can sell for thirty to fifty million."
Seeing that Li Dacheng was hesitating, Li Tianbao immediately stood up and expressed his intention to sell the jade seal. However, the price of 30 to 50 million yuan made Li Dacheng stand up in excitement.
"No, no, no, boss Li, let me think about it for a while."
Seeing that Li Tianbao was about to leave, Li Dacheng reached out to stop him. Although he was worried, he still picked up the tea cup in front of Li Tianbao and walked to the water dispenser again to refill the water.
"Boss Li really plans to sell that ancient jade?" Li Dacheng placed the water glass on the coffee table in front of Li Tianbao.
"Of course, but I want to find a real boss who I can make friends with. As you know, I don't know much about ancient jade. I don't know if my asking for 30 to 50 million is a bit high."
Li Tianbao picked up the tea cup, gently blew away the tea leaves floating on the water, and took a leisurely sip.
"Thirty to fifty million is a bit high, but it's still negotiable."
Li Dacheng once again heard Li Tianbao say that he wanted to sell the ancient jade for thirty to fifty million, and the price really made him excited. Although he said it was a bit high, he was already happy in his heart.
"Okay, I drank a lot of tea, so let's go."
Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Tianbao picked up the blue and white porcelain on the table and stood up to leave.
"Don't worry, I've collected the things. I wanted to make friends with Boss Li." Li Dacheng stopped Li Tianbao as he stood up to leave. At this time, the female clerk walked into the room with a bag of betel nut.
"One hundred thousand in cash and the rest by check." Li Tianbao glanced at the female clerk and then stated his request.
"Wait a minute, I'll be back right away." Li Dacheng asked Li Tianbao for his bank card number. Then he turned around and told the female clerk to withdraw 100,000 in cash. He walked to the cabinet next to the counter to get a checkbook.
"Mr. Li, this is one hundred thousand yuan, as well as your betel nut and the remaining nine hundred yuan."
The female clerk took the lead and delivered the 100,000 yuan she took out from the safe to Li Tianbao, as well as the betel nut and the remaining few hundred yuan to buy the betel nut.
"I'll eat one betel nut, and you'll keep what's underneath me." Li Tianbao tore open the betel nut bag, took out only one betel nut and put it in his mouth. At this time, the unaccustomed taste no longer seemed so bitter.
.
The female clerk originally thought that Li Tianbao just wanted to give the remaining betel nut to her, but she did not see him taking the remaining more than 100,000 yuan, so she put the money in front of him again.
"I only need one betel nut, and you deserve the rest."
Li Tianbao understood that he had picked up the money from the female clerk. Although there was nothing wrong with it, he still decided to let her take advantage of it, so he asked Li Dacheng for 100,000 yuan in cash.
"Mr. Li, what did you say?" The female clerk looked at Li Tianbao with her eyes wide open in surprise.
Li Tianbao smiled and repeated what he said before.
"How is this possible? I..." The female clerk obviously couldn't think of any reason why Li Tianbao gave her so much money. The most important thing was that she didn't seem to be a beautiful woman.
"Take it, it's your hard-earned money to buy betel nut." Li Tianbao naturally wouldn't tell me what I missed from your hand.
"Haha, Boss Li is indeed in big business, and the tips are all worth one hundred thousand." Li Dacheng placed the written check in front of Li Tianbao. When he saw the tip Li Tianbao gave to his clerk, he couldn't help but
I feel that the young man in front of me must be an incredible master.
"Thank you, Boss Li."
The female clerk took Li Tianbao and gave him more than 100,000 yuan, and walked to the counter happily. She never expected that she could earn so much from buying a bag of betel nut.
"Boss Li, look at that ancient jade."
Li Dacheng immediately turned the topic to the ancient jade in Li Tianbao's hand. After paying so much money to buy it, he would not make much profit, and he would probably lose a little money, not all because of the ancient jade in Li Tianbao's hand.
"Oh, I will play with that jade for two more days. I will definitely sell it to you before leaving Taiwan. My good friends, of course the waste water will not flow to outsiders."
Li Tianbao put away the check, said a few words casually and walked towards the door. Li Dacheng was worried and left his phone number. He originally wanted to invite Li Tianbao to dinner but was rejected by the latter.
"Boss Li, we are all friends. Don't forget me when you sell that ancient jade."
Li Dacheng did not forget to remind Li Tianbao that after all, there was an extra five million, and he felt very distressed. If he could not successfully obtain the ancient jade, he would lose both his wife and his army.
"Don't worry, we are all good friends."
Li Tianbao walked out of the store happily, leaving only Li Dacheng who was full of expectations and the female clerk who was full of gratitude to Li Tianbao.
After walking out of the Metropolitan Jewelry and Antique Market, Li Tianbao was full of curiosity about the ancient jade, but he was still cautious about whether it was the legendary cultural relic in his mind. (To be continued.
