“You are a guest from afar, so whatever suits your taste, mountain snow tea.”
After finishing speaking, he helped to pour a glass.
"What's your surname?" I asked.
The woman picked up the tea cup and said with a smile: "Excuse me, my surname is Xu, how about you call me... People in the industry call me Xu Laoshi."
"Xu Laoshi", I muttered in a low voice, thinking that it was really rare for a woman to have such a nickname.
This woman looks very good-looking without her sunglasses, and her profile looks like Zhang Baizhi.
She crossed her legs and said, "Let's make a long story short, I want to pass what you guys sell."
"Can."
He gestured with his head and hands.
Brother Yu immediately put the big bag on the table and opened the zipper.
The woman took out a pair of white gloves from her pocket and put them on, then took them out one by one from the bag.
She looked at the numerous cultural relics with an expressionless expression.
I thought to myself, either she doesn't understand or recognizes it, or there are too many good things that have passed by. The latter is more likely, and this woman must not be underestimated.
"Yes, it's a goldware from the Wensi Academy. It's rare. This is the second time I've seen the real thing."
"The carved flower bridge pillow from the Xixia kiln entrance is not very expensive in the market now."
Douyazai said loudly: "What, you don't understand, don't you? This is the underworld pillow! What a bridge pillow."
He raised his head and took a sip of tea: "Ya Zai, don't interrupt if you don't understand. Strictly speaking, this pillow is called a bridge pillow, and the dark pillow is the folk name."
The woman smiled and continued to read.
"This is not bad, a gold finger cot, worn by noble women during the Liao and Jin Dynasties."
"This thing is...?"
She picked up an iron copper coin in a small box and frowned at it.
I thought, don’t you pretend anymore? Don’t you understand? I thought you knew everything.
I coughed on purpose and said, "Miss Xu, this is an iron coin from Xixia. It is a precious coin from Xiwu."
"Xiwu treasure money?"
She frowned and asked, "I've never heard of this kind of coin."
"Then do you think it's true or false?" I asked.
"It's not fake, it's genuine."
"That's enough." I pointed and said, "Don't look at it. It's not in good condition. Even iron money is like this. Xiwu Erguo should know about it, right? This thing is the only one in the world. It was made by Emperor Li Xian who fled to Sichuan in the late Xia Dynasty.
This coin will be minted later! Once it is released, it will definitely cause a sensation in the ancient spring world!"
"Oh? It's a new species..."
She became interested and asked me: "Do you have a psychological value for this thing?"
After thinking about it, I said, "The minimum is three million."
"cough!"
I just took a sip of tea and choked, so I wiped my mouth quickly.
She wasn't scared, didn't negotiate the price, and continued looking at other things as if nothing had happened.
I kept staring at her, so I noticed.
When she saw our "Qingran Horse Tag", a hint of excitement flashed quietly in her eyes, but she quickly put it down and picked up another piece of jade to look at.
Lao Xi's eyesight is not impeccable. Except for the iron coin, she knows almost everything, including the age, material, craftsmanship, inscriptions, etc., and we don't need to introduce it at all.
More than ten minutes later.
"Okay, I've taken a look at it. There's no problem with the newness or oldness of the items. Mr. Wang, can we negotiate a price?"
"By the way, you guys put this away, I don't want this thing." She pushed the Xiwu treasure money in the small box aside alone.
I thought to myself, this is a show of force...
I casually quoted 3 million, but she said no and refused to talk to me, hoping to gain the upper hand in bargaining.
Selling things is like this, psychological warfare, once you inadvertently reveal your cowardice, your opponent will take the initiative.
I stretched out my hand to press the coins and said with a smile: "Sorry, beauty, our bottom line is that we will not sell or negotiate separately."
With a look of regret on her face, she stood up and said, "It's a pity, so that's it. You should look for someone else to take a look."
After saying that, she opened the door and left, very neatly.
Douyazai scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously and was about to go out to chase after him on crutches.
He immediately raised his head and scolded him: "Sit down, don't go."
Soon there was the sound of a car igniting outside the window. I walked over and took a look, and she drove away without looking back.
Douyazai scratched his head and said: "Look at Fengzi, you're asking for three million for a rotten copper coin! You won't just sell it, now it's better, it will scare people away!"
"Shut up, you know shit! Not to mention three million, thirty million won't scare people like them."
At that moment, I thought to myself, look, she will definitely have to call me by tonight at the latest.
The result is...nothing.
We waited in the hotel for three days in a row, not to mention a phone call, not even a text message!
This batch of goods left in the hotel is a time bomb. Once something happens, we need to check it out. After hesitating again and again, I couldn't help but take the initiative to call.
"Miss Xu, it's me, let's make an appointment?"
The person on the other end of the phone smiled and said relaxedly: "I'll wait for you at the Green Olive Ballroom at nine o'clock tonight."
In the evening, I arrived at the place twenty minutes early.
At that time, Kangding was known as Little Hong Kong. Unlike the endless desolation of Erzhe Mountains in the north, twenty years ago, this place was almost a city that never sleeps.
Unlike bars and discos, the lights in the Green Olive Ballroom are suppressed and the music is played very quietly. Wherever it is dark, there are men and women dancing.
When strangers meet for the first time, if they want to warm up their relationship, dance a salsa dance.
Salsa dance is a variant of Latin dance. Our dance was also called the lantern dance, but now it is called the wife and children dance.
"Handsome guy alone? Do you want to dance?"
"Haha, no need, I'm waiting for someone and they'll be there soon."
"Come and play, it's not expensive, it's only thirty yuan."
I said I have no money.
The girl stopped laughing immediately and muttered "poor bitch" as she passed by me.
This kind of dancer is also called Lao Girl. Lao means making money. They charge according to the song. Each song lasts for 10 minutes. The younger ones usually cost 30 to 50 yuan, and the older ones only cost 10 yuan. In the early 2000s, experienced people
He can easily earn 30,000 to 50,000 yuan a month from women.
I just put down my glass.
"Sorry for the long wait."
"Sit." I helped her pull out the stool.
Miss Xu wore black square-rimmed glasses tonight, her hair was tied into a single ponytail, and her clothes were relatively conservative. She made me feel like an English teacher.
After ordering a drink for her, I said: "Miss Xu, you are still the best, just give me the price."
She said: "You tell me the price, and I'll listen."
I dipped my hand into the wine glass and wrote a string of numbers on the table, "2222".
She glanced at it and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Xiao Xiang has a black hand and a black heart. When I see you today, you are worthy of your reputation."
I was surprised: "You know me?"
"Why don't you know me? I am a guest at the Changchun Club, the great apprentice of Silver Fox, and the little brother Tian Sanjiu has been working for for a long time. He is also secretly entangled with the Puppet Club."
"How do you know! Who are you?"
"Don't be nervous, I have no identity, and I don't belong to any force. I'm just a veteran in the company's external receiving department."
I picked up the wine glass, pretended to drink, and asked in a cold voice: "What is your real name?"
She bit the straw and took two sips of juice, then smiled and said, "Xu Nuanyun."
Xu Nuanyun.....
I thought quickly in my mind for a long time, but I didn't know this woman, and I had never heard of her.
She loves to smile, but I can tell it's all fake.
"There is no one else here. Xiao Xiang is the leader. Can I call you that?"
I nodded, then shook my head again, "Remove the small characters, it doesn't sound good."
She smiled and said: "Let's talk about the price. To be honest, I want to take this batch of your goods."
"Don't give it randomly, this is the number."
She made a "six" sign.
I shook my head: "No chance, we can't pay this price. The two of us have been grinding it out for three days, and we both know pretty much where the bottom line is."
I made a sign of nine, raised my voice and said, "If I sell it to you for less than this number! I won't give it to you!"
"It seems that there is still a certain cognitive gap between the two of us."
"Um....."
"In this case, Xiang Bantou, we will make a deal for 660, and I will give you a hundred for Yu Wai. What do you think?"
I drank all the beer in one breath, stood up and said: "There are rumors on the road that your company is very wealthy. Today I think it is just like that. It is far worse than Boss Li from Hong Kong and Boss Qian from Shanxi. Women are women, keep grinding! Say goodbye."
"
"stop!"
"Who are you calling a pussy?"
"What's wrong with you?"
"Besides, don't think that I don't know about your operations."
"Your company must have given you a budget limit. Once I let go, the price difference will definitely go into your own pocket."
"If you want to buy it, I'll give it up here! The minimum is 900, and I won't sell it for a penny less!"
After saying that, I got up and left.
"Wait!" she called me again.
This time she obviously lacked confidence, so she said softly: "Nine hundred is the ceiling price that the company can give. It's not easy for us to be the leader. You can give me some room for maneuver."
"Oh, you can't stop talking like this!"
I went back and sat down again, ordered another glass of wine and said with a smile, "830, I'm enough to give you face."
She lowered her head and thought for half a minute, then raised her head and took the initiative to clink glasses with me.
“A pleasure to work with.”
I also raised my glass: "Happy cooperation."
I copied the card number of my boss to her and agreed to come and pick up the things at any time as soon as the money arrived tomorrow.
In this way, if nothing else happens, this big deal will be concluded.
In fact, regardless of the different identities represented by each other, we are all of the same age, and we started chatting for a while.
Because we have a common topic, antiques.
From ancient pottery to ancient bronze, from ancient bronze to Qin bricks and Han tiles, it also involves underworld wares, pottery figurines, soul bottles, jades, pressure coins, tomb beasts, etc., no matter where I talk,
She can catch the conversation and speak to the point.
"Huh? Miss Xu, who taught you these? You must have a master to teach you."
She had changed her drink to wine before, and she was obviously blushing now.
"I had a master in my early years, how about you?"
"I do, too. The master is my master, but in terms of antique appraisal, I mostly rely on talent and self-study."
Suddenly, a microphone sounded on the stage.
"Everyone! All you handsome men and women!"
"Welcome to our Green Olive, some of you must have heard of it! After twelve o'clock, it is the sixth anniversary of our Green Olive's opening! In order to express your continued love for us, tonight, all drink consumption,
Always weigh five pounds!"
As soon as I finished speaking, enthusiastic applause and roars suddenly erupted in the venue.
"Quiet quiet!"
The host on the stage cleared his throat, raised the microphone and said loudly: "Also! Our boss specially invited the famous dance queen from the Beijing Works Sports Night Club...Miss Wise! Everyone.
Welcome with applause!”
The applause was even louder, accompanied by the men's whistling.
Watching with interest, I sounded like Miss Gas.
"Okay, it's my turn."
Miss Xu took off her glasses and threw them aside. She untied her hair and shook her head back and forth. Her temperament changed instantly.
