The six Flower God Cups collected by Mr. Guo that Mr. Bai told Chen Ran were not duplicates, but among the four Flower God Cups that Chen Ran saw, three of them were actually rose cups, which made him feel a little strange.
Chen Ran reached out and took out a rose cup to see if it was genuine. As soon as he got it, he suddenly saw from the corner of his eye through the gap in the cabinet door that there seemed to be a Flower God Cup in the cabinet door.
Chen Ran's heart moved, and he quickly put down the rose cup in his hand, opened the cabinet door and looked over. He was stunned when he looked at it. Not only was there a Flower God Cup in the cupboard door, but there was more than one, and there were a lot of them.
, at a glance, there are at least eight or nine in this pile.
Why so many.
Chen Ran was quite surprised and quickly took out the Flower God Cup from the cupboard door to check it out.
"Why don't you leave yet?"
While Chen Ran was observing, a voice of questioning suddenly came from his ears. It was the middle-aged man who just saw Chen Ran squatting here and walked over.
"This cup looks very beautiful, do you want to sell it?" Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Chen Ran pretended not to care and said. After some investigation, he finally understood why Mr. Bai said Mr. Guo collected it.
There are six Flower God Cups in front of you, not the thirteen in front of you.
If the thirteen Flower God Cups in front of us are put together into a set, in fact, only six can be made. Except for one pomegranate cup, which is not repeated, the others are two or three duplicates, making a total of thirteen.
, Chen Ran guessed that Mr. Guo might have collected thirteen of them, but he only took out the six without duplicates for outsiders to appreciate, and did not take out the rest. In this way, outsiders only knew.
Mr. Guo has six in his collection instead of thirteen.
This is not impossible. After all, Mr. Guo has lived for ninety years. He must have collected more than six in his life. He collected duplicates. He did not transfer them out, so he kept them for himself. This makes sense.
Already.
Of course, this is just Chen Ran's guess, there may be other reasons.
Hearing Chen Ran's words, the middle-aged man was startled. He looked at the Flower God Cups on the table strangely, and then looked at Chen Ran: "You want to buy them?"
"Yes, please make a price..." When the middle-aged man was observing Chen Ran, Chen Ran was also observing the middle-aged man. In fact, you don't need to look, the cups are placed here as tea sets, obviously these people present
No one knows the goods, but his proposal to buy may arouse the other party's vigilance, but there is nothing he can do about it. After all, this is Mr. Guo's home. No matter what he proposes to buy, the other party will definitely think of antiques.
Going up.
"Do you really want to buy it?" the middle-aged man asked uncertainly. After seeing Chen Ran nod, he rolled his eyes, picked up a rose cup and asked, "What do you think of this cup?"
"Very beautiful." Chen Ran replied simply, but didn't say much.
The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "Then what price can you give?"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand." Although the middle-aged man in front of him did not know the goods, Chen Ran did not dare to offer too low a price. This was because of the financial conditions of Mr. Guo's family. The offer was too low. If he could not
If it makes the other party's heart flutter, they won't want to sell it. Moreover, the cup in front of me must not have been seen by experts after Mr. Guo passed away. Otherwise, the experts invited by Mr. Guo's status should not be able to recognize it.
Then his current bid will naturally attract the attention of the other party. If the price is low, the other party will be even less willing to sell. He will wait to show it to the experts. It will probably be more difficult to collect it by then. It is better to directly
Give the other party a price that makes him excited and sell it directly to him. This way you can spend less money. One is 250,000. There are 13 of them, which is 3.25 million. And if you go to auction
If so, these thirteen cups are worth about five million, so he has saved nearly two million. So far, he has collected less than half of the cups, so it is better to save some money.
The middle-aged man was stunned and opened his mouth in surprise, but when he looked back at the courtyard, he took back his words. He looked at the Flower God Cup on the table and Chen Ran, rolling his eyes and pretending to be calm.
He bent down and picked up the kettle while pouring water, and said in a low voice: "Well, if you want, you can come over later. There are too many people here and it is inconvenient. How about we talk about it when there is no one at the party?"
Chen Ran was startled, then nodded calmly.
"After drinking this cup of tea, you should leave first." Seeing that Chen Ran understood what he meant, the middle-aged man told Chen Ran calmly, then turned around and walked towards the courtyard.
While Chen Ran picked up the tea that the middle-aged man poured for him, he turned around and looked over calmly. However, when the middle-aged man walked over, there was an old man in his fifties who asked what was going on.
The young man laughed and said that Chen Ran was thirsty and wanted a glass of water. After hearing what he said, the others stopped paying attention to Chen Ran.
Chen Ran thought for a while and decided to take a look at what the middle-aged man told him first.
After drinking two sips of tea, Chen Ran stood up and left the Guo family's old house. He wandered around outside. When he came to the aunt he had just asked for directions to, he described to her what the middle-aged man looked like.
, asked what the relationship between this man and Mr. Guo was.
"You are talking about the old man's grandson-in-law, Lao Jiu. The old man also has a big business. He has three sons and daughters, and a lot of grandchildren. Before he went, everyone was staring at his property.
The Laojiu you are talking about is the grandson-in-law of the old man. His family is local and he is a poor man. He cannot afford a house. The old man paid for it because he felt sorry for his granddaughter. Before the old man went, he had been busy asking for it.
The old man wanted the old man to give him some of the family property, but no matter how he divided it, it was not his turn. Not to mention him, even others could only stare. I heard that the old man donated all the family property...
"
The aunt obviously didn't like this old man, so she kept pushing him away. The old man donated all the family property, but she was quite happy.
After hearing this, Chen Ran felt somewhat confident. According to what this aunt said, the person in charge of the Guo family's old house now is Mr. Guo's grandson-in-law, Lao Jiu. Of course, he can't be said to be the director. It should be said that he is the person in charge.
Others who work are obviously too lazy to take care of these chores. Mr. Guo, the grandson-in-law, is the least capable and can only do these chores front and back.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Ran came to a conclusion.
Chen Ran was not asked to wait any longer. Not long after he came out, all the people in the yard of the Guo family's old house walked out and got into their cars while talking and left together, seemingly going to a restaurant to eat.
After they left, Chen Ran came to the door of the Guo family's old house again and knocked on the door. With a creak, the person who opened the door for him was Lao Jiu.
Lao Jiu stuck his head out and looked suspiciously in both directions, then quickly let Chen Ran in.
The Flower God Cup on the small cabinet was obviously cleaned up by Lao Jiu, and all the tea was poured out, leaving it neatly placed there.
"Please give me another price. Two hundred and fifty thousand is definitely not enough. Since you have come here, you should know that the old man is an expert in antiques. Any antique he collects can be sold for a sky-high price.
The price you gave is a bit low..." After letting Chen Ran in, Lao Jiu opened the door and said.
"It's because I knew Mr. Guo's name that I didn't pay an inflated price. Two hundred and fifty thousand is almost enough..." Chen Ran shook his head and said, with confidence in his heart, he naturally had the confidence to speak.
Before Chen Ran could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lao Jiu, who shook his head: "Two hundred and fifty thousand won't work, at least eight hundred thousand."
Chen Ran was shocked, you really dare to ask for 800,000 yuan, so the total is more than 10 million yuan.
"Eight hundred thousand is too much. It's impossible. I'll give you at most 300,000. If it works, that's fine. If it doesn't work, I'll find someone else with the same price..." Chen Ran shook his head directly. He was not afraid of the other party at all now.
The person who sold it to him obviously wanted to keep the money for himself, so he could only sell it to him. Of course, he couldn't go too far...
Lao Jiu gave Chen Ran a hard look and snorted: "If you find someone else, then don't want it. If someone else knows about this tea set, even if they don't donate it, they will definitely not sell it to you."
"The price you mentioned is too outrageous. Even if I ask someone to buy it, I can't pay it." Chen Ran shook his head and said, even if he got this price, he wouldn't lose it, but he couldn't buy it at this price.
Lao Jiu just offered 800,000 yuan just to test Chen Ran. Seeing Chen Ran's tough attitude, he relaxed and said after a while: "Six hundred thousand yuan, at least 600,000 yuan. It can't be any less. Give it to me."
For six hundred thousand, this tea set is yours."
Chen Ran shook his head without thinking about it, but as soon as he shook his head, he suddenly noticed something was wrong. This set of furniture?
Chen Ran was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but take a breath. Now he finally understood that the price he mentioned was the price of a rose cup, but the old man in front of him said the same thing, that is to say
This old man regarded the thirteen cups as a set of tea sets, and the price was also calculated as a set.
In this case, he would be willing to pay not to mention 800,000, but even one million. After all, the total value of these thirteen cups is almost five million.
Chen Ran's heart skipped a beat, but on the surface he shook his head calmly: "The price is still a bit high."
"It can't be any less. If it's less than 600,000 yuan, we won't sell it." Lao Jiu also knew that he couldn't let go. Once he let go, he might have to watch Chen Ran speak, so he strangled him very hard.
"Let's see, let's each take a step back. I'll bid 450,000, what do you think?" Chen Ran said with a frown, pretending to be embarrassed.
Lao Jiu shook his head: "That's not possible, 450,000 is too little." After a pause, he relaxed slightly: "At least 550,000, if it's one cent less, we won't sell it."
"Five hundred and fifty thousand..." Chen Ran frowned and muttered. In order to make Lao Jiu feel that the thing was worth it, he could only pretend to be embarrassed. After being embarrassed for a long time, he nodded helplessly: "
Well, that’s it for this price, any more will not be worth it.”
Hearing Chen Ran's agreement, Lao Jiu immediately nodded with a smile on his face: "Okay, it's a deal."
This result is undoubtedly a happy one for both of them. Needless to say, Lao Jiu, before the old man died, he was busy serving the old man, and in the end he didn't get any of the family property. It would be strange to say that he had no resentment. In the end, there was no
The thought that he had unexpectedly made such an unexpected fortune was a reward for his hard work during this period. With this fortune, the resentment he had accumulated towards the old man during this period was suddenly relieved.
The smoke disappeared.
For Chen Ran, he was even more delighted. Not only did he save more than four million, but he also got thirteen Flower God Cups at once.
There was a computer in the Guo family's old house. Chen Ran directly transferred the money to Lao Jiu online. After transferring the money, Chen Ran packed up the thirteen Flower God Cups.
After leaving the Guo family's old house and looking at the box in his hand, Chen Ran couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and the excitement was all written on his face.
There are seven Crazy Yangs, one in Nanjing, three in Hangzhou, and thirteen in Fuzhou. Except for Bai Lei, he only harvested twenty-four Flower God Cups during this trip, which can be said to be a fruitful harvest.
Already.
As for the two from Bai Lei's Hanhai Auction House, the two that Mr. Ma asked for, there are also four, leaving only the three from the antique shop. As long as you can afford the money, you can probably get these three.
In this case, there are seven...added together, it makes thirty-one.
There are eight in Liushu Village at home, eight for himself, three for Mr. Bai, two for Uncle Lin, and Bai Lei’s rose cup...
Mr. Jiang still had four of them by then.
Chen Ran suddenly realized that there were almost sixty of them. It seemed that it was not too far away from seven sets of eighty-four. Of course, there would definitely be duplicates...
Although it was already evening when he arrived at Fuzhou from Guling Township, Chen Ran did not stop. He checked the flights and found that there was no direct flight from Fuzhou to Zhongdu. He simply got on the train and rushed to Hangzhou, planning to take the train first.
We rushed to Hangzhou and took a flight directly from Hangzhou back to Zhongdu.
He had been out for so many days, and at this moment, he was so eager to go home that he didn't want to wait any longer.
And as soon as he got on the high-speed train, he received a call from Bai Lei, saying that Mr. Ma had received the two Flower God Cups he had asked for, and the results of the three Flower God Cups from the antique shop had also been obtained, and they would be finalized tomorrow morning.
After settling down, he immediately rushed back to Zhongdu. He expected to arrive at noon and meet Chen Ran in Zhongdu.
Chen Ran said yes.
After hanging up Bai Lei's call, Chen Ran ordered takeout in the car and called the school beauty while eating. Chen Ran missed the school beauty, and the school beauty also missed Chen Ran. It could be heard from the tone of his voice.
.
After hanging up the phone with the school belle, Chen Ran called home again, but was scolded by Li Yuzhi. Chen Ran had to talk to her mother to calm down.
Just after hanging up the phone at home and not taking a sip of water, Chen Ran suddenly received a strange phone call, asking him to...
