"Don't look at me like this? I'm right, this painting is better than the handed down works of Zhou Dongqing and Lai An!
"This is definitely not nonsense. I have seen Zhou Dongqing's authentic paintings handed down from ancient times with my own eyes, and they are obviously not painted like this.
“I have never seen the original works of Lai An’s works, but I have seen high-definition scans on the Internet, and the artistry is not as good as this one, Fish Playing in the Water.”
Pei Yuqin blinked her beautiful eyes and winked at Shen Yu, meaning who are you helping? I asked you to help negotiate the price, why do you still boast that the painting is done?
Shen Yu pretended not to have seen it and continued: "If this painting were to be auctioned, I think it would be easy to fetch hundreds of thousands."
Chen Dashan was dumbfounded. The buyer kept praising the seller for his excellent antiques. This was the first time Chen Dashan had met him.
In order to repay the debt, he has sold several antiques handed down from his ancestors in the past few days. However, the antique dealers who buy antiques are more sophisticated than the others, and they all try their best to lower the prices. They just want to collect them as junk.< /p>
"Brother, what do you mean by this? Do you think my painting is not eye-catching and you don't want it anymore?
"It's okay, just speak directly. We're not buying or selling by force. I'm almost confused by your praise." Chen Dashan asked stammering. He thought about several possibilities, but in the end he could only boil it down. It’s a buyer who thinks the product is too good, but doesn’t want to buy it if he praises it.
So he felt that Shen Yu might not want to buy paintings anymore, so he kept praising him so much, otherwise he couldn't explain it.
Shen Yu waved his hand, "I never deliberately sell antiques when I collect them. Of course, if there are any disadvantages, I will tell them in advance.
"If there is a single flaw in this painting Fish Playing in Water, it is that it is an unknown painting.
"If it's not an unknown painting, it doesn't have an authentic work by Dong Yu or Xu Bai from the Song Dynasty, but it has a seal signed by Miao Fu from the Ming Dynasty or Yun Shouping or Castiglione from the Qing Dynasty, it would cost at least five million."
"Shen Yu, come out with me for a moment." Pei Yuqin shouted to Shen Yu, and then walked out of the courtyard.
Shen Yu smiled at Chen Dashan and said, "Brother Chen, let's talk again later. We will definitely buy this painting." He picked up the handheld password box on the table and walked out of the courtyard.
"Ah, this, okay, okay." Chen Dashan nodded again in confusion. This is the first time he has encountered such a good antique dealer and such an easy-to-talk antique dealer. It will be really difficult to get used to it for a while.
In the yard, Pei Yuqin stood by a small lotus pond and quietly looked at the scenery inside the pond. At this moment, the flowers in the pond were blooming, the breeze blew, the lotus leaves floated, and the courtyard seemed to be filled with the fragrance of flowers instantly.
"The flowers on the land compete with each other in fragrance, and the fragrance beside the clear water pool is silent.
"If you don't compete with the peaches and plums for the spring breeze, the flowing fire will bring you coolness in July."
After reading a song "In Praise of the Lotus" by Zhou Dunyi, Pei Yuqin suddenly turned around and smiled sweetly at Shen Yu.
At this moment, the evening breeze ruffled her hair, she was so beautiful and refined that she was more delicate than a flower.
"Shen Yu, did you find something wrong with that painting so you praised it on purpose? Just to remind me." Pei Yuqin thought.
Shen Yu was stunned: "Why did you say this?"
"If you really think the painting is very good, from the perspective of a buyer, you will definitely find the shortcomings of the painting instead of the advantages. Am I right?"
Shen Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "How could I have such thoughts? I just think the painting is good! You think you should bargain because you look at it from the perspective of Xingting Antiques, and in your heart you think you should save money for the store. Money.
"But Xingting Antiques has nothing to do with me. Why should I save money for an antique shop I don't know?
"On the contrary, Brother Chen is a simple, honest, direct, and very good-natured person to me, so I told the truth."
Pei Yuqin was startled for a moment, then immediately stomped her foot angrily: "Humph, I still treat you as a friend, but you actually talk to outsiders." After finishing speaking, he turned around like a little girl.
"Oh, there's no need to be so angry, right? I just said that Xingting Antiques has nothing to do with me, not you!
"If you spend your own money to buy it, I will definitely lower the price.
"After all, when you watch me withdraw money in the bank, your eyes show that you really want to help me. You can still tell that I am not blind."
"Really?" Pei Yuqin turned her back to Shen Yu with a smile on her lips, but her tone was deliberately a little bit offensive.
Shen Yu nodded seriously and said: "It's 100% true. My grandfather told me about the mystery of antique trading. The more you lower the price, the more you end up not getting the antique.
"Because the bargaining time is too long, it is easy to say the wrong thing, which may increase the other party's rebellious psychology. Once the other party stops selling, you will lose nothing.
"And if the time is too long, a lot of variables will be added out of thin air, such as someone suddenly stepping in halfway.
"If the price is about the same, I will buy it. Although I will make less money, the treasure in my pocket will be my own.
"Besides, I don't like to push the price too hard when buying antiques. If I buy an antique for 10,000 yuan and can earn 50,000 yuan, then I will buy it. There is no need to lower the price to 500 yuan. I would rather be greedy for the 10,000 yuan."
Pei Yuqin stared at Shen Yu with a flash of brilliance in her beautiful eyes. Shen Yu's temperament was very similar to her own, and he was handsome and knowledgeable. His personality, temperament, and family background were all good, and he was even more interesting.
After two chance encounters, he is simply the best boyfriend God has given him!
Thinking of this, a hint of red suddenly appeared on her fair and beautiful face, which instantly made her even more beautiful.
"Hey, why are you looking red? Are you really angry?" Shen Yu noticed a layer of blush on Pei Yuqin's face and thought it was because of anger.
Pei Yuqin shook her head shyly: "Okay, what you said makes sense, then just give him 600,000, and sell it if you want, or forget it if you don't, because this is the maximum acquisition amount I can use.
"Although I am the general manager of the Xingting Antiques Chuzhou store, my words do not count. Mr. Qin's third daughter, the owner of Xingting Antiques, is the one who means what she says."
The two returned to the house, where Chen Dashan was drinking tea.
Shen Yu didn't hesitate and asked straight to the point: "Brother Chen, what is your psychological price for this painting?"
Chen Dashan scratched his head: "Of course I want to sell more. After all, my investment failed and I still owe more than two million yuan. In this way, I will give you 100,000 yuan, and you will give me 900,000 yuan, and then you can take away this Painting!"
Shen Yu nodded and shook his head slightly: "Brother Chen, I can definitely understand your situation. You owe a lot of money outside, and what you are selling are antiques handed down from your ancestors. The psychological pressure is great.
"And no matter what people sell, whether they sell vegetables, fish, fruits or dry goods, including antiques, they all hope to sell at a higher price and earn more. I can understand this.
"But you also know that with a price of 900,000, this painting will definitely be difficult to sell.
"Note, when I say it's difficult, I don't mean that it won't be sold!
"If this painting goes to a calligraphy and painting auction, it should be fine for 900,000 or even 1 million, but I guess you can't wait, Brother Chen. Am I right?"
