At the gate of the antique city, Chen Ran looked at Zhou Jianyun who appeared in front of him. Chen Ran was slightly stunned, and then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. It was really retaliation. It was not that he would not retaliate, but that the time had not come yet.
Just now, he was thinking about how he would settle accounts with Zhou Jianyun in the future, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly. It was really a "help in times of need"!
At this moment, opposite Chen Ran, stood Zhou Jianyun. Zhou Jianyun was half-hugging a charming woman wearing a red coat and stockings.
Chen Ran looked at Zhou Jianyun, and Zhou Jianyun looked at Chen Ran, but Zhou Jianyun's face was a little dark. He never expected that his college classmate and roommate who he had just insulted as a thief and beggar would soon be doing business with him.
.
The most important thing is that when it comes to this business, you have to beg the other party!
With the rise of collecting craze, whether it is jade or other jade, it is becoming more and more in demand, especially the demand for high-end jade. It is almost impossible to buy original materials. All high-end sources are sold by several leading companies in the jade industry.
Take control.
Although Zhou Jianyun also opened a jade shop, it is only a low-end one now. But for him, this is only temporary!
In short, many high-end products are hard to come by.
Of course, Zhou Jianyun can also go to other large jade shops to buy, but in this case, it is meaningless, and the price of the same goods is obviously higher, so there may not be such goods as the old longevity star, so at least you have to order.
Master carving cannot be completed in one day like Chen Ran, it basically takes at least a week.
Another point is that there are many rules and regulations in the antiques industry. Everyone who enters this industry is also very concerned about the rules. Zhou Jianyun, who runs a jade shop, bought a jade from another jade shop. This will undoubtedly make people feel uncomfortable.
Endless jokes.
Don't say it's a jade shop, let's just say that anyone who collects it will buy a pendant from a jade shop and keep it, unless it's a gift from someone else.
The meaning of buying from an individual is different, because it is not buying, but letting. Furthermore, the value of the jade from the jade shop is not consistent with the value of the jade itself, and it is at least 80% more expensive.
Zhou Jianyun is not afraid of people's jokes, nor does he care about spending money, but he knows that if he does this, the old man will 100% give him a slap in the face, then slam his gift away, and finally say:
You throw this person away, I can't afford to throw this person away! Get out of here!
"Chen...Classmate Chen Ran, what a coincidence. I didn't expect that we would meet again!" It must be said that Zhou Jianyun is quite thick-skinned. Although the smile on his face was a little stiff at first, he quickly adjusted it.
"Yes, classmate Zhou Jianyun, what a coincidence that we meet again so soon!" Chen Ran nodded and said lightly.
Chen Ran's look was obviously beyond Zhou Jianyun's expectation. While he was disdainful, it also made him feel relieved. A poor boy, given more money, would not be the same as a dog.
I don’t believe that I can give you money and you still don’t want it!
With this thought, the smile on Zhou Jianyun's face became even thicker. He stretched out his hand and patted Chen Ran's shoulder, with a bit of arrogance, and laughed and said: "Classmate Chen Ran, this is your birthday gift."
The original bid was 42,000, but I didn’t expect it to be yours. For the sake of my classmates, I bid 45,000, how about it?"
Chen Ran looked at Zhou Jianyun with a little surprise, who looked like he was giving alms to him. In fact, he didn't know Zhou Jianyun very well. He only knew that his family should be rich, his personality was a bit domineering, he liked to show off, and he always looked like an old man.
The look of money.
Now it seems that although the tone of this person's words is disgusting, he is not without merit in doing things, and he still has some abilities.
"I'm so sorry, classmate Zhou Jianyun, just now the general called me and said that he offered eighty-eight thousand, and I had already agreed to give it to him. I didn't expect that the colorful fantasy jade was actually you, my classmate, otherwise I would have seen
In terms of the reputation of my classmates and the fact that you took such good care of me at school, I would never agree to it. Even if I give it to you, I would give it to you, my classmate. Oh, what a pity!" Chen Ran sighed repeatedly, he didn't understand at all.
Don't worry about not being able to sell your old birthday girl. As long as the goods are in your hands, the money will not escape. This is a wise saying in the antique industry.
Judging from the forum, Zhou Jianyun is obviously in urgent need of his birthday girl. So, although he can't take revenge now, he should at least disgust him and get some interest back.
Oh shit!
The smile on his face froze, and Zhou Jianyun was so angry that he almost vomited blood. General, I don't know who he is. If he offers 88,000 yuan, I will give you 100,000 yuan.
He doesn't care about such a small amount of money, but that's how it is in the antiques industry. Spending money to buy things is what fools do. The less you spend to buy something of high value, the more you will be praised...
"Classmate Chen Ran, I won't talk nonsense to you. I think you should understand my strength. If you offend me, let alone a small antique city, even the entire city of Zhongdu will have no place for you!
"Zhou Jianyun said somewhat sinisterly, but then he looked at Chen Ran with a smile: "Of course, this is not a threat, but a suggestion! If classmate Chen Ran gives up his birthday to me, for the sake of my classmates, I will
It won’t cost you too much, forty thousand yuan, how about it?”
Chen Ran's face remained unchanged and he said: "Classmate Zhou Jianyun, after I give up my birthday girl to the general, and I have this large sum of money, I will go back to my hometown to farm. I wonder if you will give it to me?"
He wasn't worried that Zhou Jianyun would force the sale. This was a big taboo in the antique city, unless Zhou Jianyun didn't want to hang out in the antique city!
Zhou Jianyun's face darkened!
"I said, why are you like this? Mr. Yun buys things from you because he is looking at you. You don't even ask what Mr. Yun's identity is. Mr. Yun can make you, a country bumpkin, disappear from this world with just one sentence.
." The charming woman who was half-armed by Zhou Jianyun seemed to be unable to stand it any longer. She frowned and pointed at Chen Ran with a look of disgust on her face.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud laugh with an exaggerated tone: "Oh, it's really hilarious. Mr. Yun, you are so majestic. Just say a word and people can disappear. Why don't you just say a word?
Let me disappear too, the old man will definitely be very happy!"
Chen Ran turned around and saw a strong man who looked like an iron tower walking over with a smile and a bunch of car keys in his hand. This man's appearance showed a trace of vicissitudes in his masculinity... Obviously, he was sure that
That's the general.
"What are you meddling in again?" Zhou Jianyun was furious when he saw him. If it hadn't been for this bastard's meddling, he would have picked up a small leak in this old birthday girl's birthday cake and presented it to the old man like this. After talking about the matter, he would definitely be able to
Make the old man smile.
But he forgot that even if he found something wrong on the forum, if he knew it was him who wanted it, would Chen Ran still give it to him?
"I came to see you show off your power. Look, you are so awesome. Young Master Yun, Young Master Yun, why are you not happy?" The general was really fierce. He stood in front of Zhou Jianyun with a sideways face.
In front of him, he also used his body to push Zhou Jianyunding back two steps. His face was also fierce, and he had a tendency to attack if he disagreed.
The charming woman obviously knew this person, she lowered her head in fear and did not dare to speak anymore. Zhou Jianyun was so angry that his face turned pale, but he did not dare to answer. He glared at the general and then turned to stare at Chen Ran fiercely: "
Chen Ran, don’t give me a toast or drink as a penalty, I’ll ask you again, are you going to let...or not?"
But before he finished speaking, he was bumped by the general again, and he saw the general looking at him fiercely: "Why are you staring? Look at you like a bear!"
Chen Ran felt very happy, but on the surface he looked serious: "Classmate Zhou Jianyun, someone is offering you eighty-eight thousand. If you also offer this price, for the sake of my classmates, I will give it to you. How about it?"
"
"Huh! A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin! Let's see how I will kill you in the future!" Zhou Jianyun glared at Chen Ran viciously, then glared at the general: "Gao Qiang, don't be proud, I will let you get out soon.
Zhongdu!”
"You're capable, right? You still dare to threaten me, Young Master Yun, Young Master Yun, don't wait any longer, just say a word now and make me disappear, okay?" The general was furious, staring at a pair of bull's eyes, and stretched out his hand.
Going to grab Zhou Jianyun's collar, Zhou Jianyun was so frightened that he pulled the charming woman and ran away.
"You're just a straw bag, pretend to be me!" The general took a hard bite at Zhou Jianyun's back, then turned around and stretched out his right hand towards Chen Ran.
"Gaoqiang!"
"Chen Ran!"
Chen Ran also stretched out his right hand and shook it with Gao Qiang. He could only feel the hard callus on the other's palm, which had a scratchy feeling.
"You and that kid were classmates before, and we had a holiday together?" Gao Qiang was obviously an acquaintance. After saying a few words, it was as if he and Chen Ran had known each other for a long time.
Chen Ran nodded but didn't say much.
Gao Qiang didn't care and said cheerfully: "That kid is nothing. Sooner or later I will deal with him. You haven't done anything about that old birthday girl yet, have you?"
Chen Ran nodded.
"I won't let you suffer. Even if you get Old Phoenix, you will only sell it for around 35,000 yuan. But since that guy offered you 42,000 yuan, I will offer you 40,000 yuan. What do you think?"
Lao Fenghuang is the largest and oldest jade shop in Zhongdu. In fact, Gao Qiang did not suffer a loss at this price. It was just Chen Ran who made a profit. Chen Ran sold it to Lao Fenghuang. Lao Fenghuang offered 35,000 yuan, but Lao Fenghuang continued.
When selling, it may cost 60,000, 70,000, or even 80,000, and the profit is scary, but that's the way this business is.
"You can just pay thirty-five thousand!"
For Chen Ran, naturally the more the better, but he must also have a principle in life. Gao Qiang was indispensable for the high price he sold to Zhou Jianyun, and the most important thing is that Chen Ran felt that Gao Qiang was a trustworthy person.
