Chapter 166 Someone else picks up the leak, Lin Chen purchases
"Young man, do you like this? You have really good eyesight. This is the Qianlong blue and white elephant ear statue! It was something used by Emperor Qianlong!"
Seeing Lin Chen's eyes falling on the blue and white porcelain vase, the stall owner immediately smiled enthusiastically.
"Boss, how much does this elephant ear statue cost?" Lin Chen nodded to the stall owner and asked.
The boss had a big smile on his face, picked up the Elephant Ear Zun, and said to Lin Chen: "Young man, I just mentioned this thing, but the thing used by Emperor Qianlong back then was a treasure passed down from my family. If it weren't for someone in my family,
Even if I'm sick, I won't sell this thing."
"I originally wanted to sell it for 100,000 yuan, but I saw that you just took a fancy to it at first sight and you are also destined to it. How about this, brother, I will give you a discount and get a bonus of 88,000 yuan. How about it?
?”
"Eighty-eight thousand?"
After hearing this, Lei Long at the side immediately shook his head and said to Lin Chen: "Old...Lin, this thing is just a broken porcelain vase lying on the ground, how can it cost more than 80,000 yuan? This person is a liar at first sight, let's find another one!"
Before setting off this morning, Zhou Ruoyun told Lin Chen and the others not to reveal their identity as a wealthy businessman in the antique street, so as not to get ripped off, so Lei Long just changed his tune temporarily.
In his opinion, how could there be genuine goods at such a street stall? The boss said it was more than 80,000 yuan. It was obvious that he wanted to kill Lin Chen because he was young.
However, what surprised Lei Long and the others, and made the stall owner happy, was that Lin Chen nodded and said: "Eighty thousand? It's cheap, I bought it."
"It's okay young man, if you think it's expensive, I can give you a discount...wait, what did you just say? Bought it?"
"Yes. Boss, is it possible to transfer money through online banking?"
The stall owner was stunned when he heard that, so he sold it? A porcelain vase worth more than 80,000 yuan. This guy didn't even tell the price, but he thought it was cheap and just bought it?
Oh my god! This is a giant leek that is rare to see in a lifetime!
Legend has it that in the antique street, it is rare to see some wealthy customers like big dogs. These people never bargain when buying things. They buy whatever they like and don't care about fakes and genuine goods. This kind of people are common in the antique street.
A customer that every shop owner dreams of, unexpectedly he met one today?
"Okay, okay...Oh, young man, I really can't bear to part with this treasure. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't sell it to another person."
The stall owner looked distressed.
He was really sad because he felt that his price was low.
If he had known that the opposite was a big business, he would have directly ordered one hundred thousand without any discount! He got this thing from the house of a person who specializes in making fake blue and white porcelain. The original owner is the craftsman who specializes in making fake blue and white porcelain.
He passed away due to illness, and all his belongings were sold by his family.
This piece of fake blue and white porcelain, because of its realistic workmanship, cost him a total of eighteen thousand yuan to buy. Now he has made tens of thousands by reselling it.
But if the stall owner hadn't given Lin Chen a discount just now, he would have made more than 10,000 more!
Antique stalls don't open for three years and only open for three years. He doesn't know how long it will take if he wants to earn more than 10,000 yuan.
When the stall owner looked sad and distraught, Lei Long also looked sad and distraught, but their reasons were completely different.
"Boss, this porcelain vase is fake. It's not worth 80,000, but it's probably more than 8,000!" Lei Long lowered his voice and said in Lin Chen's ear.
Lin Chen smiled and patted his shoulder: "It's okay, isn't it just 80,000? I just like it."
Lei Long shook his head helplessly.
When the stall owner heard Lin Chen's words, the expression on his face became even more painful.
He’s really a big deal! Why didn’t he realize it earlier and still give me a discount?
After transferring the money, Lin Chen took the porcelain bottle over with a smile and handed it to one of Lei Long's subordinates, asking him to put the things back in the car before coming back.
Others thought that Lin Chen bought a fake, but Lin Chen knew that the blue and white elephant ear statue just now was indeed a genuine product! It was a genuine product from the Qianlong period!
In terms of value, he calculated that it should be at least two hundred thousand!
So even though Lin Chen spent 88,000, he actually made a profit.
Of course, if Lin Chen was willing just now, he could actually bargain with the stall owner.
But for Lin Chen today, is it still necessary for him to do this? If a property worth hundreds of millions can be bought at any time, why should he negotiate with others for tens of thousands of dollars?
No price reduction?
Besides, Lin Chen didn't come here to make money by picking up leaks, but worked as a middleman to earn the price difference.
He just wants to buy some real antiques for home decoration. As long as he can guarantee that what he buys is genuine, he doesn't care how much it costs.
In short, Lin Chen is rich and willful!
Others come to the antique street to pick up antiques, but when Lin Chen comes to the antique street, he really comes to purchase and consume.
If it doesn't suit his liking, even if it's a priceless genuine product, Lin Chen won't have much motivation to buy it.
For example, there are two genuine items in the store Lin Chen is visiting right now.
One is a porcelain plate with beautiful patterns, thin white body, thin body, crisp sound and bright glaze.
Although Lin Chen didn't know its origin, he knew that it was not only authentic, but also an antique from the Song Dynasty. It was worth at least two million, but the store had priced it at 100,000.
The owner of the store didn't know the true value of this thing, and just thought it was an ancient fake made from an earlier antique. Although this kind of thing is a fake, it still has some value and can be sold at a high price.
If Lin Chen buys this porcelain plate, he will not only earn one or two million every time, but it will also be valuable as a collection.
It's a pity that Lin Chen doesn't like it.
Because this porcelain plate is a Hades artifact!
The so-called underworld objects are things that were buried with the ancients. There are two main ways of spreading the antiques left behind today. One is that they were dug out from the cemetery by others, and the other is that they were collected and passed down from generation to generation.
antique.
What Lin Chen wants is the latter. As for the former...
Lin Chen wasn't so serious about using the dead person's belongings as ornaments in his home.
So after just a few glances, Lin Chen gave up on the porcelain plate, picked up another thing, and asked the boss: "Boss, I bought this thing."
What Lin Chen was holding this time was a Pixiu New Zealand square seal with a price tag of 30,000 yuan. However, Lin Chen had seen it and found that it was an object from the Ming Dynasty and was worth at least 500,000 yuan. However, it was also regarded by the boss as an antique.
Antique stuff.
"Okay boss, would you like to order anything else?"
The boss took Fang Zhang with a smile and wrapped it up for Lin Chen, feeling happy at the same time.
Except for foreigners, few people buy things so simply, without even telling the price.
After Lin Chen bought the things, he turned around and went to another stall not far away. Without saying a word, he just threw 10,000 yuan and bought a large plate with auspicious cloud patterns, which made the stall owner of the stall very happy.
With his mouth wide open, he followed Lin Chen and kept shouting, "Boss, go slow!"
