I originally thought that Old Man Liu would feel calm after hearing the nine hundred yuan. After all, he had also been an imperial chef at the time. Coupled with the wasted years, Old Man Liu did not expect that at this time, Old Man Liu would feel calm.
I am already eager to take out my treasure!
"Brother, I guess Zhao Lei is almost done washing it now, why not let him take it out?"
"Don't be anxious yet, old man. I have helped you so much this time. How can you first tell me how to repay me?" Wu Jianye said in a low voice.
"Brother, you can't say that, my two paintings and porcelain bowls are real treasures!" Old Man Liu said shrewdly.
But he forgot that he was the one who told Wu Jianye just now that he had no antiques in his hands.
"Old Liu, let's not talk secretly. The quality of those two paintings is nothing but coaxing the foreigners. Don't be too greedy. Be careful and you will lose everything!" Wu Jianye said in a veiled threat.
"Hey, okay, how about two or eight, you and I are eight!" Old Liu was also a bachelor. Seeing that Wu Jianye had spoken so clearly, he didn't hesitate anymore.
"Four-six, I'm four, you're six, otherwise I'll find someone else to do this. I think there are eighty or not hundreds of old men like you in the entire Sijiu City. It's not hard to find him!" Wu Jianye said firmly!
said.
Old Man Liu looked embarrassed and said, "Brother, your price is a bit harsh!"
Wu Jianye didn't say anything and was about to leave. Seeing this, Old Man Liu was also worried about the pie in the sky, so he ran away and quickly grabbed Wu Jianye's arm.
Johnson watched from the side and thought to himself: This Wu really has a way. It seems that he is taking retreat in order to advance. If he really gets that treasure later, he must reward Wu well!
"Okay! June Fourth, just June Fourth, but little brother, if there is such a good thing in the future, you have to think of me!" Old Man Liu made a compromise.
"That's no problem. Are you happy to work together?" Wu Jianye said casually. It's okay to do this kind of thing just once. Although there is no psychological burden for cheating foreigners, but if you walk a lot at night, something will inevitably happen. Wu Jianye
Ye was just accumulating initial funds for his future plans, and he would definitely not do this kind of thing again.
After finishing speaking, Wu Jianye handed the nine hundred yuan to Old Man Liu, who smiled and went into the hospital to see the fruits of Zhao Lei's labor.
"Wu, how's it going?" Johnson asked urgently.
"It's been negotiated, but the price is a bit high!" Wu Jianye said with some embarrassment.
Johnson waved his hand and said: "Money is not an issue. As long as the baby is really as you said, a royal baby, I will definitely not let it go!"
"By the way, Wu, you still haven't told me what that treasure is exactly?"
"The origin of this treasure is not simple!" Wu Jianye's expression became serious.
"Oh, what kind of treasure is it?" Johnson became nervous because of Wu Jianye's attitude.
"You know Johnson, the former Emperor Qianlong, right?"
"Of course I know. I heard that he is also a romantic emperor." Johnson said.
"This treasure was originally the royal possession of Emperor Qianlong. Later, Emperor Qianlong rewarded his generals with this treasure after they performed great service. You should know that in the previous dynasty, generals in the army were not allowed to serve in the army.
Drinking, but this minister is addicted to alcohol, holding this treasure is like being personally visited by Emperor Qianlong, allowing him to drink in the army!"
"What do you think of the collection value of this treasure?" Wu Jianye rearranged a story for the 'Chamber Pot'.
The most important thing about the collection value of an antique is its story and its previous owner. These are the key factors that determine the value of an antique. Now that he has both, Johnson is naturally happy.
flower.
"Wu, do you want me to exchange some more RMB? I feel like this amount of money is not enough!" At this time, Johnson had in his hand, in addition to the one thousand U.S. dollars he had exchanged before, the one thousand U.S. dollars he had just exchanged with Zhao Lei. He deducted it and gave it to
Old Liu had 1,300 yuan left of his 900 yuan, but after hearing this story, he felt that he didn't have enough money.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "That's enough. I just scared Old Man Liu, telling him that you were VIPs from abroad, the kind who were treated grandly. Old Man Liu was already a little scared, and he promised to sell it for one thousand yuan.
For you guys!"
Although Wu Jianye also wants to order more, if the price is too high, it will be difficult for Johnson and others to do it when they find out that they have been cheated. Now it is less than two thousand yuan, and even if they find out in the future, he will not
You're going to fly back from the United States with all your strength for 1,900 yuan, right?
"Haha, Wu, you are so interesting. As I said before, I will definitely not treat you badly after this matter is over!" Johnson was so happy that he felt that he really came to China this time.
correct.
"Brother, the things are here!" At this time, Old Man Liu also came out with the so-called 'treasure' chamber pot. But after all, his mental quality was not as good as Wu Jianye's. He was worried about being recognized by foreigners, and his hands were still a little
trembling.
Wu Jianye brought the chamber pot over. It seemed that Zhao Lei had really worked hard just now. If he didn't smell it carefully, he wouldn't be able to smell the smell of urine at all.
"Johnson, this is the treasure, the Imperial Nine Dragon Pot!" Wu Jianye handed the chamber pot to Johnson calmly.
Seeing that Johnson's expression was a little complicated, Wu Jianye's heart was also tight. Could it be that this foreigner knew the chamber pot? If so, Wu Jianye would find a way to shift the responsibility to Old Man Liu.
But luckily Johnson spoke immediately: "Wu, this thing doesn't look like a royal treasure. Is the workmanship a bit rough?"
Fortunately, he didn't know the chamber pot!
Wu Jianye immediately said: "This is just Johnson, you don't understand our Chinese history. I want to ask you, where is the military? If ordinary porcelain is placed in the military, I am afraid it will be broken. This is also
Why in Chinese history, most of the military antiques are swords, guns, halberds, armors, etc. that have been passed down to the world, but there are very few utensils. But this also makes them more precious, doesn't it?"
Wu Jianye took it in his hand, looked at the chamber pot left and right, and said with a slight frown: "But his workmanship is really not very fine?"
Wu Jianye smiled indifferently and said: "Johnson, if you have any questions about this treasure, we shouldn't buy it, but I still have to remind you that this treasure will not be like this after passing through this village.
In the past, Old Man Liu didn’t take it out because he was worried that people would know. Now people know that he has this treasure in his hands. I think it won’t be long before other buyers come. I hope Johnson won’t do it because of that.
I feel bad for losing a treasure!"
When he heard the following, Johnson's expression became firm. Yes, China's history is too complicated and mysterious. Maybe there are such rules in the military. If you miss this treasure, it will be really bad.
The loss is too great.
Such a treasure would cost at least hundreds of thousands of dollars at auction!
"Buy it!" Johnson said immediately.
"Wu, you know, my grandfather was also an American soldier. I want to give this treasure to my grandfather so that he can drink from it every day!"
