Xue Chen was holding things and negotiating the price with the stall owner when he suddenly heard someone behind him say something like this. His expression remained the same, but there was some annoyance in his eyes. He looked back and saw that the person speaking was Wan Tianliang. Wang Ke stood there.
On the side, his expression was a little unnatural.
He ignored Wan Tianliang and continued to negotiate the price with the stall owner: "Okay, I'll pay the price you said, 50,000 yuan. I want this thing."
The stall owner was a tall and round man. He glanced at Wan Tianliang and realized that he had heard those words just now. The lacquerware lamp holder imitated from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Dongdai period was a good thing... He thought about it in his mind and picked up the lamp in one hand.
Tuo snatched it back and said seriously: "Fifty thousand? Fifty thousand is not enough. If it is less than one hundred thousand, there is no need to talk about it."
"But you just said the price of fifty thousand!" Xue Chen frowned and looked at the stall owner who went back on his word.
"Hey, it was just now. There was no deal. Did you know that this is not an ordinary lamp holder? It is an imitation of the early Song Dynasty. It is very rare. How about 50,000 yuan? 100,000 yuan! Not a dime less!
, If you want it, just pay." The stall owner held the lacquerware cup holder in his arms, as if he was afraid that Xue Chen would snatch it away.
As soon as the stall owner said this, Xue Chen felt very unhappy. Although he still made some money even if he took 100,000 yuan, the profit was naturally much less, and the more important thing was the deal that had been negotiated!
He stood up and looked back at Wan Tianliang. Before he could speak, the other person smiled and said: "Oh, it's Mr. Xue, why don't you buy it? The price of 100,000 yuan is not very high, it is still worth it
Take action."
"If Mr. Wan likes it, then just buy it." Xue Chen replied with some unhappiness in his heart. How could he not see that Wan Tianliang's words just now were intentional, and this person is the manager of Tianyi Pavilion, and
How could you not know that it was inappropriate to say such a thing?
The two of them had never met each other before, and there was no reason to have any holidays. He glanced at Wang Ke who was silent and thought, could this person be because of Wang Ke?
Watching Xue Chen walk away, Wang Ke hesitated and whispered to Wan Tianliang: "Mr. Wan, what you said just now was not appropriate."
He didn't know why Wan Tianliang would do this, and he was a little confused. Even he knew that it was inappropriate to say such a thing at that time.
The deal that had been negotiated was indeed ruined by this sentence. Although he did feel a little disgusted with Xue Chen in his heart, he still felt that this approach was a bit unreasonable and obviously provocative.
A flash of light flashed deep in Wan Tianliang's eyes, he laughed with Wang Ke, and said lightly: "Is it inappropriate? I just couldn't help but praise him, well, Mr. Wang, the lacquerware cup holder is indeed good.
It is very popular with some tea lovers. You will definitely make a profit if you buy it for 100,000 yuan, and it is easy to sell it for 140,000 to 50,000 yuan. Why don’t you buy it.”
Can you make 40,000 to 50,000 yuan just by changing hands? Wang Ke was a little excited. This was still a bit tempting for him, so he walked two steps over, said a few words to the stall owner, and got the items smoothly.
After taking the lacquerware lamp holder, Wang Ke continued to wander forward with Wan Tianliang. Soon he noticed that Wan Tianliang was still walking in the direction that Xue Chen left just now.
"What exactly does he want to do? Could it be..."
He was really confused about what Wan Tianliang was thinking. What he did just now was obviously a deliberate attempt to annoy the other party. He had never told Wan Tianliang about causing trouble for Xue Chen, so why.
He couldn't figure it out and didn't know how to ask, so he simply pretended not to know anything. It had nothing to do with him anyway, and it would still feel good to see Xue Chen deflated.
In front of another stall half a street away, Xue Chen took a look at another thing. It was a small, white-glazed bowl with three red carps on it, which looked very beautiful.
The stall owner was a man in his forties, with a square face, a broad mouth, a loud voice, and rough skin. He was still an old-school man. He stretched out a hand and wrapped it in his coat. Xue Chen also stretched out his hand.
Go over and bargain with the stall owner with your hands under your coat.
This method of negotiating prices can be found all over the country, and it is basically the same. He learned it after one month in Daxing.
The stall owner shook his head, and his hands under his coat changed gestures back and forth to indicate different prices. Xue Chen also went back and made his own bid.
The two of them compared their prices for a long time, and they could accept that the price difference was constantly shrinking.
But at this moment, someone pretended to be surprised and commented on the small wine glass placed between the two of them: "This is a small bowl with a red glaze? The red color is very pure. It looks like it belongs to Guangxu?"
The stall owner looked up at the speaker, then looked down at his small red-glazed bowl, frowned, and said at the same time: "That's the price."
Xue Chen looked at the stall owner in surprise. He didn't expect that the stall owner suddenly agreed to his offer, which surprised him. But when he thought of the voice behind him, his face turned cold. But before he could get up, the person in front of him
The stall owner became popular.
"Do you know the rules? How can you interrupt others when they are doing business? You are really a stick. You are easily beaten like this. Do you know that?"
The person who spoke just now was naturally Wan Tianliang, who had come with him. He had the same plan as before, which was to make the stall owner realize that what he was selling was good and good, so he didn't want to be taken advantage of.
But he didn't expect that this stall owner was completely different from the last one. Not only did he not cancel the transaction, but he scolded him and his face darkened.
Wan Tianliang never expected that the stall owner would be unhappy before Xue Chen had an attack, especially because his voice was so loud that many people around him looked over.
Xue Chen did not expect that the stall owner in front of him would do this. Not only did he not change his mind temporarily, but he sold the items to him and even choked Wan Tianliang. He was really quite upright.
The cash he had with him was almost enough, so Xue Chen transferred the money directly with his mobile phone.
The square-faced stall owner was stunned for a moment when he saw the transfer number and said, "Brother, that's not right. Didn't we agree on 40,000? Why is it 80,000?"
"Brother, I thank you for this 40,000 yuan. There are not many people as upright and as observant as you. Take it, don't worry, I won't lose anything." Xue Chen said sincerely.
The square-faced man scratched his head and seemed a little embarrassed to accept the money.
The people around were stunned when they saw this scene. They originally agreed to pay 40,000 yuan, but gave it to 80,000 yuan, just because of what they said just now? They all felt something in their hearts for a while.
Picking up the red-glazed tall bowl, Xue Chen turned around, looked at Wan Tianliang with cold eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Wan, what do you mean?"
The business deal just now was messed up. He endured it because he didn't want to have unnecessary conflicts with others. As a human being, it's better to be kind and gentle. It's better to do less than to do more.
But tolerance does not mean there will be no end. I have already given face to him once, but he caught up with me again and played the same trick as before. Fortunately, this stall owner is an upright and old-fashioned person who abides by the rules, so he was not disturbed.
This is shameless, and it’s even put on your nose and face!
Wan Tianliang said with a smile: "I think Mr. Xue may have misunderstood. I really just feel that Mr. Xue has a good vision and the things he picked are very good. Only then did I see Lie Xinxi and couldn't help but praise the two of them.
Well, why don't you go over to my place and have some tea, and we can sit down and chat."
"Okay." Xue Chen looked at Wan Tianliang, wanting to see what this person wanted to do. There was no way he would just mess with him for no reason.
Wang Ke also followed silently, feeling very strange in his heart. He didn't understand what Wan Tianliang was thinking and why he repeatedly deliberately sabotaged Xue Chen's business and provoked him.
The three people walked not far before arriving at the door of Tianyi Pavilion Antique City. It was a three-story Ming and Qing style building, covering a large area. Each floor had to be a thousand square meters. Each floor had to go up.
They also open ** shops related to antique culture.
All the way up to the third floor, we came to an office with a sign of the deputy general manager.
"Mr. Wan, if you have anything to say, just say it directly." After sitting down on the sofa, Xue Chen didn't mince words. He didn't believe that Wan Tianliang didn't know that it was against the rules to say something like that on that occasion.
Wan Tianliang smiled lightly: "I think there may be some misunderstanding. I heard that Mr. Xue was praised by Zhuge Yi, Zeng Guangrong and other leading figures in the capital's antique circle, so I wanted to see Mr. Xue's profound attainments."
Xue Chen did not listen to Wan Tianliang's false words, nor did he bother to think about it. He directly used his mind-reading ability to find out the true motives of this person's heart.
"Oh, that's it."
After inquiring into Wan Tianliang's true inner thoughts, Xue Chen easily understood what this man was up to, and also understood why the two of them had never met, let alone had any conflicts, but they had deliberately provoked each other just now.
he.
It was a little different from what he thought. He thought it was because of Wang Ke, but now he knows, it really has nothing to do with Wang Ke.
It turned out that Wan Tianliang and Qi's father were discussing a big deal recently, and wanted to bring their business to the capital. Wan Tianliang had an evil idea after meeting him, and wanted to find an opportunity to step on him.
He has been praised by Zhuge Yi, Zeng Guangrong and other older people. He is now well-known in Liulichang and even in the capital's antique circle. If he can be suppressed in antique appraisal, then he will naturally create a reputation in the capital's antique circle.
Some of these influences have directly created a reputation, which will also be of great help to future business.
This is just like in martial arts movies, those young swordsmen who have followed the masters to practice in the mountains for more than ten years will challenge the famous swordsmen after coming out of the mountains. Once they win, they will become famous immediately.
After clearly understanding Wan Tianliang's little thoughts, Xue Chen's eyes flashed with chills and he felt very unhappy. Leng Ran thought: "You want to step on me and gain limelight in the capital's antique circle. What a good plan." (To be continued.)
