Chapter 173 The human heart is not enough and the snake swallows the elephant.
"That's right, it's one million."
After receiving Shen Yu's exact answer, the expression on Lao Li's skinny face began to change, including surprise, excitement, greed, entanglement, and longing.
After a full three minutes, Lao Li suddenly smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Shen, is one million a little less? I mean, do you think you can add more?"
As soon as he said these words, the room instantly became silent.
Shen Yu frowned slightly.
Li Qing'er and Xiao Rou, who were chatting quietly, stopped whispering.
Li Qing'er's face isn't very pretty either.
Xiaorou looked at her father with disbelief, as if she didn't believe that he, who had always been honest, would say such a thing.
"The ancients said that people's hearts are not as good as snakes swallowing elephants, so they have to look forward to Shu and be greedy. These words are indeed true." Shen Yu sighed secretly.
Shen Yu's temperament is the same as that of his grandfather. You don't have to spend 1% or even 1,000th of the price to buy an antique worth a million before you feel it is a profit. You will buy it as long as you think you can.
That's about right. He doesn't eat meat himself, but only leaves some soup for others to drink. Even if he doesn't even give soup to others, he will definitely leave some meat for the seller.
Moreover, I bought this copper stove more to thank the other party for saving Qing'er.
But human nature is very complex. When Lao Li first rescued Qing'er, he may have been filled with a sense of justice, but when he heard that someone offered him one million to buy his copper stove, he couldn't suppress the greed in his heart.
Shen Yu's face was as dark as water, "The guaranteed market price of this copper furnace is 900,000 yuan, and it may be even lower. The extra 100,000 yuan is a reward for Xiaorou and you for saving Qing'er.
"Of course, I'm not saying that Qing'er's safety is worth 100,000 yuan. You have to know that there is a saying in the antique industry, which is that if you don't open for three years, you will eat for three years if you open.
"The price of 900,000 yuan is the friendly price that we antique dealers use to sell it to our friends' shops when we are in a hurry. If you take this copper stove and sell it to an antique shop yourself, let alone 900,000 yuan, even 90,000 yuan is not enough. It will definitely be sold!
"So, I am spending hundreds of thousands to reward you and Xiaorou for saving Qing'er. I must make it clear. You are a businessman, so you should be able to understand.
"Well, since you want to sell more, then go to the flea market or the antique store in the antique city. You can't hope to get a good price."
When Lao Li heard this, his smile suddenly froze on his face.
When his family was in trouble, he actually took the copper stove to several antique shops, but the shop that offered the highest price only gave him three thousand yuan. Of course, that was before it was cleaned.
Later, he thought that three thousand yuan could not solve anything, so he did not sell it.
Now the other party offered dozens of times and offered a full million. He originally wanted to agree immediately, but the moment he was about to say it, he swallowed it back and instead said something that shocked himself.
.
Now Lao Li feels a little regretful. He knows something about Li Qing'er's family background. His family is very rich. The other party's family first sent him 100,000 yuan, and then helped him rent this small shop. The annual rent was 60,000 yuan, and he paid 30,000 yuan at once.
annual rent.
Maybe it was because the other party was rich that I said the price increase.
One million!
You could get it right away, but just let it slip away?
No, this is absolutely not possible!
Let yourself sell it? How can those thieving guys in antique stores give you one million? It’s impossible even to think about it!
Hey, I regret that I should have been so greedy.
Now Lao Li really wants to slap himself hard.
"Where is Mr. Li? Come out and collect the money quickly. What? You don't want the money?" At this time, there were shouts from diners outside asking to pay the bill after finishing their meal.
Xiaorou looked at her father and stamped her feet before walking out of the house, and Li Qing'er quickly followed.
The shouts outside and the sound of his daughter stamping her feet made Lao Li wake up instantly. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I understand, I understand, then just follow what you said, Mr. Shen, one million, one million will be fine."
”
"I'm sorry, I don't want this copper stove anymore." Shen Yu said straightforwardly.
Shen Yu is really a little angry now. He already had arrogance in his heart. Even before the adventure, he could help Bao Yuxuan earn nearly 20 million with his eyesight alone.
Now that he has Jin Tong Appraisal, he is more confident. To be honest, let alone an imitation Xuande incense burner in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, even if it is a real Xuande incense burner, he will not say that he must get it or that he cannot get it.
Just like that.
As long as he is willing to take action on the two Song Dynasty paintings in his hand, he will have wealth freedom in an instant, not financial freedom, but complete wealth freedom, and live a life of freedom.
So, what can you do if you don’t buy a copper stove?
"Goodbye, I wish you a prosperous business."
Seeing that Shen Yu was about to leave, Lao Li became anxious. He jumped up on the canopy bed, then strode around in front of Shen Yu, trying very hard to put on a smile, "No, Mr. Shen, do you think this will work?"
I don’t want one million anymore, just give me nine hundred thousand.”
Shen Yu shook his head expressionlessly, "You should keep this copper furnace for yourself."
Lao Li lowered his head in frustration at first, but then quickly raised it, "Mr. Shen, eight hundred thousand, eight hundred thousand is not enough? Just treat me as pitiful. I was obsessed with eating a fat man in one bite. Look at this."
Is it okay for Xiaorou to save Miss Li? All the mistakes are my fault..."
"Again, you can sell it yourself, maybe you can sell it for two million." Shen Yu's attitude was very determined.
At this time, Li Qing'er walked in with her arms around Xiao Rou, who was already crying and her eyes were red. "Uncle Li, why don't you sell it yourself? As Qinan said, maybe it can be sold at a high price."
Lao Li kept rubbing his hands nervously, "Ms. Li, I, I have actually been there, but people who open antique shops only give a little money. I was obsessed just now. Please tell Mr. Shen, I can give you some more." I don’t need 600,000 yuan for the money. I’ll give it a discount of 700,000 yuan. I’ll give you half the money. Can you take the 500,000 yuan?”
Li Qing'er chased Xiaorou just now, which was a comfort to Xiaorou. She was grateful to Xiaorou from the bottom of her heart and would not have any grudges because of this incident. Seeing Lao Li begging hard, she felt soft in her heart. He couldn't help but look at Shen Yu.
"Let's make a note. According to the five hundred thousand you said, I will first give you two hundred thousand in cash as a deposit, and the remaining three hundred thousand will be paid off within three days. But there is one thing. The remaining three hundred thousand can only be given to Xiaorou, I will deposit the money on one of Qing'er's cards, and then give this card to Xiaorou for safekeeping."
After finding paper and pen, Lao Li tremblingly wrote a receipt, while Shen Yu drew up a simple antique transfer contract. The two of them signed and fingerprinted, and the transaction was completed.
……
The car drove far away from the parking space, and Xiaorou was still waving from behind.
"Qinan, thank you for what happened today." Li Qing'er, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said gratefully.
Shen Yu smiled: "What are you talking about? In my heart, you and Uncle Li are my closest family members. Besides, I didn't suffer any loss in this business today. If you want to thank me, it should be me thanking you, no?" If you take me to dinner, where can I buy this Ming Dynasty copper stove?"
"You are so sweet-mouthed, no wonder that Li Huiyun just can't let you go." Li Qing'er muttered with annoyance.
Shen Yu smiled bitterly: "Why are you talking sweetly again? You don't know the price of Xuande furnace. Last year, there was a special Xuande furnace auction organized by Gaogu Auction. A Chonger Xuande furnace with similar appearance and style to mine was auctioned. The high price was 3.3 million, and another one sold for 2.6 million. Maybe I will really make a fortune."
Li Qing'er didn't believe it, but looked at Shen Yu quietly, her face full of joy.
In fact, Shen Yu was not wrong. What do you call a Xuande furnace? Because there is no clear standard, the price fluctuates greatly. It can be said that one furnace has one price.
For example, if a certain Xuan furnace is in good condition and someone likes it, he feels that this bronze furnace is very much like a real Xuan furnace, and he is rich, so the price of this Xuan furnace will be higher. If it is If two competitors bid together, the price will be higher.
So both sellers and buyers need to try their luck.
Opening the car window, the hot air outside mixed with the freezing air conditioning inside the car was extremely refreshing. The car got on the Ring Expressway, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed from 40km/h to 90km/h in two seconds. It felt like a push in the back. Complete.
When the time came to 8:20, the 28-story Baoyuan Building had already appeared in their sight.
