"No, brother, isn't it a waste of everyone's time to go to the management office for such a trivial matter? We can completely solve it ourselves!
"I see that you are a well-educated and sensible person, unlike those who don't have a few dollars in their pockets but like to rummage through the stalls and waste each other's time."
The tall and thin stall owner was obviously a little panicked.
The corner of Shen Yu's mouth moved, but he didn't speak. He just thought to himself: "You're kidding, you don't even have a decent imitation of this pile of shabby porcelain. Which real collector would buy it?
"Why don't you make your colleagues laugh out loud when you buy this blue and white porcelain vase in the shape of a kettle?"
Seeing that Shen Yu's expression didn't change when he looked at him, the tall and thin stall owner suddenly changed his expression to a miserable one: "It's just three thousand, it's really not enough. My silver pot weighs eighty taels, and I just sell it to make silver jewelry." A small shop can sell them for at least two thousand yuan.
"I have diabetes, and my blood sugar has never been well controlled. Look at how skinny I am now, and I'm no different from a skinny skull.
"My family is really in trouble. I have parents in their seventies and a child who is just ten years old. You can just take pity on me.
"In this way, you can add one thousand more, four thousand, just four thousand, and I will compensate you for the rest."
After the stall owner finished speaking, he diligently moved a small wooden bench to Gu Qingqing. He was afraid that Gu Qingqing would find it unclean, so he took an unused clean rag and wiped it on the bench surface.
Gu Qingqing said thank you, took it generously and sat on it.
Shen Yu turned the silver pot in his hand over again and shook his head: "No, four thousand is too much. If you take this silver pot to any antique shop with a cash register, you won't be able to sell it for four thousand."
The tall and thin stall owner was pitiful: "I should be able to sell it for 4,000 yuan. I paid 3,000 yuan for this wine pot."
"How much?" Shen Yu looked up at the stall owner.
"Three thousand, I swear, it's definitely three thousand. If it's not three thousand, I'll have five thunders... No way..." The stall owner was about to swear.
"Stop, stop."
Shen Yu quickly stopped him. When he was shopping for antiques at the stalls, he was most annoyed by people swearing, and those who didn't know thought they were going to have sex with each other.
"Well, I won't hide it from you. I am also in the antique business. I know all about the prices of all items. The price you charged for this wine flask cannot exceed two thousand yuan.
"If I give you three thousand, you will definitely make a small profit. Of course, as you said, you are older and younger, and you also have chronic diseases. This situation is indeed a bit pitiful.
"But do you know how pitiful I am? I am only twenty-five years old now, and I already have more than one million in debt.
"The first time I woke up in the morning, I thought about the fact that I didn't receive a call to collect debts in the middle of the night yesterday and slept through it all. I wanted to burn incense and worship Buddha.
“I didn’t receive a debt collection call when I ate, went to the toilet, or went to the street. I’m just grateful to God for taking care of me.
"No matter how bad your life is, it's better than mine, right?" What Shen Yu said was true. He did owe Chu Yaozong one million.
Although Chu Yaozong made it clear that the store would bear the loss, Shen Yu would not take any of the money.
But what Shen Yu said is not false. Being woken up in the middle of the night by debt collectors and having to answer the phone while eating or going to the toilet was a common occurrence in the two months after Shen Sanyun's investment failed.
Sometimes debt collection calls can be made from 12 o'clock in the morning to 5 o'clock in the morning.
Want to shut down?
Turning off the phone and banging on the door, Shen Yu gritted his teeth and endured those days so that his grandfather could have a peaceful sleep.
Of course, Shen Yu is not reluctant to pay the extra thousand yuan now.
Shen Yu even wanted to pay for the silver pot right away.
When he knew that the treasure of this silver pot was larger than Qian Lao's light seal, Shen Yu would definitely buy it for even 40,000 yuan.
Everything Shen Yu is talking about now, including eyes, expressions, subtle body movements, etc., are all tips in antique trading.
When buying and selling antiques, even if the other party wants ten yuan, you still have to make a counteroffer.
If you don’t bargain when buying antiques, the other party will definitely bite the price.
There may even be a temporary price increase.
If you show that you will buy the other party’s antiques no matter how high the price is, then the other party will probably not sell it.
Because he felt that he had leaked the treasure.
Paintings within paintings and treasures within pots are certainly legends in the antique circle, but if the other person thinks quickly, they will most likely think of this.
Especially the tall, thin stall owner across from him, who is so cunning and cunning.
What Shen Yu is doing now is to act according to the situation. He currently has 50,000 yuan in cash in his backpack, which is the amount of cash he needs every time he goes to the flea market.
As long as the other party showed a trace of hesitation and refused to sell, Shen Yu would immediately agree to his price, and then take out the money and give it to him in three seconds.
The cash is divided into two parts, one is 20,000 yuan in the wallet, and the other 30,000 yuan is in a stack of ten sheets, for a total of thirty stacks.
When you come across a good item, just buy it. It is simple, direct and convenient, and it can prevent Cheng Yaojin from killing you halfway.
This is all based on long-term experience in buying and selling antiques.
Being intercepted halfway is the most painful and least willing thing for antique collectors.
"Isn't that right, brother? A million-dollar eye-catcher? Are you buying the Ming and Qing official kiln porcelain or the calligraphy and paintings of Wen Zhengming, Tang Bohu, Dong Qichang, Zhu Da, and Zheng Banqiao?"
Shen Yu's words stunned the tall and thin stall owner.
He looked at Shen Yu up and down, then looked at Gu Qingqing, who was sitting obediently on the small bench next to him, and he was convinced.
Gu Qingqing’s leather bag is from LV, her clothes are from Chanel, and her shoes are from Gucci.
The watch almost blinded him. It belongs to the Rolls-Royce ‘Patek Philippe Antique Perpetual Calendar Women’s Watch’ in the watch industry.
He once saw it at a big collector's house, and the collector paid 1.9 million for it.
This handsome young man said that the girl was his sister, but when he looked at the girl, his eyes were full of this young man. He even called him senior, which looked more like a couple.
When a woman pursues a man, it seems that it is still hot to shave her head and choose a man.
Just to be pursued by such a rich girl, the pretty boy in front of me must be extremely rich.
Is it a good match?
The tall and thin stall owner secretly thought in his mind: "Whether my wine bottle can sell for a high price today will depend on this girl.
"As long as I act pitifully enough, the business is very likely to be closed. Women are always soft-hearted."
Shen Yu saw all the subtle expressions of the tall and thin stall owner, "The calligraphy and painting I bought was a landscape painting by an unknown person from the Qing Dynasty imitating Wang Yuanqi, one of the four kings of the early Qing Dynasty. I finally bought it as an authentic work.
"Hey, let's not talk about the past."
What Shen Yu said this time was true. He did buy the painting. Of course, the loss was borne by the store.
Shen Yu will not feel any guilt about this.
He himself did not deliberately accept the copy, and the error was not the result he wanted.
The tall and thin stall owner laughed, "If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood. If you dare to buy a million yuan calligraphy and painting at such a young age, you must have a lot of money.
"We are collectors. We are not afraid of losing money, but we are afraid of not buying. As long as we dare to buy, we will definitely be able to buy authentic works in the future.
"If you buy my wine flask, its value may rise in a few years. After all, it is an old item from the Qing Dynasty."
After saying that, he looked straight at Shen Yu, as if he wanted to see something on Shen Yu's face.
