"I see. It seems that I misunderstood the store. How could it be possible that there are not two people in this store that does big business that can talk?" Qiao Meng said with a smile.
"Haha, let's take a look at the treasures first. These three pieces are all good things in my store, but the prices are naturally relatively high. You can ask customers in other stores about these. Some of them have asked about the prices.
."
The boss said very politely, although what Qiao Meng said just now was a bit harsh, but it would not happen if you sleep while open for business. As long as there is no conclusive evidence, you cannot offend the customers casually.
"Okay, let's take a look at the things first. Since many people here have asked about the price, would you mind taking a look at it with me?" Qiao Meng said casually.
Not only did he say this, other customers who were still looking at other treasures in the store or who had been watching the situation from the beginning immediately came closer and wanted to know how Qiao Meng planned to see this treasure.
Qiao Meng planned to start with the youngest one. He picked it up and asked, "Boss, how valuable is this string of beads? How can I give it to you as one of the three treasures of the store?"
"
"Oh, you may not know much about this. This Chaozhu is not something that ordinary people can bring. Of course it is different now. At that time, only people in the palace could enjoy it." The boss quickly explained.
"Really, but I think the color is a bit weird. It looks so dark. Would ancient people really use this thing?" Qiao Meng said with a pretended look of disgust.
The boss was very speechless when he heard this and said: "Young master, look at it, don't you think it's dark when you look at things with sunglasses on? Why don't you take them off temporarily and I'll keep them for you and see you later."
Put it on."
"Oh haha, it seems so. I even forgot that I was wearing sunglasses. This may be because I am used to wearing them for a long time. It's okay. Come and hold them for me." Qiao Meng took off his sunglasses and handed them to Baidu.
In this situation, he really treats himself as a young master, and Baidu is just a little bodyguard.
"Yes, young master." Bai Du forced a smile and said humbly, then took the sunglasses and held them in his hand.
But since Qiao Meng didn't raise his head very much to show off to others and was covered by a black hat, people here still didn't recognize him right away.
So he continued: "Oh, it's really different this time. The color is much prettier. Okay, boss, tell me what's the best thing about this store."
The boss thought that Qiao Meng was an outsider, and the others had only asked about the price without looking carefully, so he paid some attention, so he said: "Oh, this is amazing, I finally got it with great difficulty, the Qing Dynasty
Items used by the emperor are designated to be worn when offering sacrifices to heaven, which means that they will live as long as heaven. If you really like it, I won't take advantage of it. How about fifty million?"
"This old boy is so shady. He dares to bid loudly in front of so many people. No wonder he dares to sell William for more than three million yuan for something worth dozens of dollars. He is really ruthless." Qiao Meng thought in his heart.
Think inside.
Then he said: "Your price is actually not much money to me, but I just heard what you said here and I can't just believe it. Let me take a look first. I have seen it before."
Many precious people believe that they are the best, don’t you think this is true?”
"It's natural. Then you see, you can tell me anything. There are so many people here to testify for you. They will never deceive you. Our store is based on authenticity." The boss said very much.
He said flatteringly, now he somewhat believed that Qiao Meng was here to buy something.
After hearing what he said, Qiao Meng picked up the string of beads and discovered through his treasure appraisal ability that they were not genuine. There was no need for him to do anything on it. However, in order to deceive others, he did not end the observation so quickly and tried again.
Dai, who smelled it, looked extremely serious.
This court bead is indeed what the boss said. In the ancient Qing Dynasty, it could only be used within the palace, and there were strict regulations. It was made of 108 lapis lazuli beads. There were four coral beads in total.
There will also be a small coral Buddha head connected to it under the knotted beads on the upper end.
There will be holes in the Buddha's head, which are then connected with ribbons. Underneath, there will be a silver-plated gold-plated tourmaline plaque, and finally there will be a silver-plated gold-plated tourmaline pendant.
However, although the imitation in his hand is very exquisite, the most important point is ignored, which is the depth of color. Most people may be confused by the gorgeous appearance but ignore such a small point.
It is true that lapis lazuli becomes darker the more it is used, but the key point lies in its use. After a hundred years, it becomes useless. It is only used in sacrifices to the sky a few times, not to mention the lifetime of an emperor.
I have only used it a few times, so how could the color be as dark as this one?
This misunderstanding may be that the producers thought too much and hoped to hide the truth, but in the end they thought too much, and things will turn out to be the opposite, which resulted in such a low-level mistake.
After some research, Qiao Meng said: "This is not right. Boss, how could you do this to me? You promised to treat people with genuine kindness and I am not short of money. Why are you not sincere at all?"
"Master, why do you mean I don't understand what you are saying? This thing is indeed genuine, otherwise would I dare to promise you this in front of everyone? Is there still business to be done?"
The boss was suddenly shocked. This was serious. If the customers misunderstood, the number of customers would be greatly reduced in the future, and a huge loss would be incurred.
"That's right, young master, you can't frame someone else's boss. I've been here to buy things several times without any problems. Did you see it wrong, or do you just not know how to do it?" one of them said.
The short-haired man came forward to speak for the store owner. He seemed to dislike people like Qiao Meng less.
"That's right. Young men like you come here to make trouble all day long when you have nothing to do. Do you understand these things? You are young and sincerely looking for trouble, right?"
Another uncle spoke up and said that he seemed to have a lot of prejudice against the young master. He must have been bullied before, and now he only dared to speak out because of the crowd.
"Yes, we can't let such a young master behave recklessly!"
Now all the people who were dissatisfied with the young master began to vent their dissatisfaction and wanted to drive Qiao Meng away. They originally thought that he might really be looking at the treasure, so they planned to follow him to appreciate it, but they heard him saying
Questioning the shop owner here, this is something they cannot allow.
When Qiao Meng heard these people's foolish words, he did not get angry but instead laughed without concealing it.
He said: "I'm sorry, since you understand it so well, can you please see if this is true? Do you understand? It's really pitiful. You thought you were getting some advantage after being deceived."
"Is it possible that the young master has any suggestions? Then we will listen to it, but we have agreed that as long as you are talking nonsense, leave immediately. We ask you to leave on behalf of the store. This place is not suitable for the young master to stay." The person who took the lead just now.
The short-haired man said.
"Okay, if what I said is right, then the boss will apologize to me, and I will continue to look at the treasures, but the price will be lowered. How about that?" Qiao Meng said, playing with the watch in his hand.
"Okay, since this young master is so confident, then I, the little boss, can't be too stingy, so let's do it this way."
The boss said with a smile. He was very helpless. If he refused, it would appear that he was harboring evil intentions. In this way, he would be at a disadvantage from the beginning and lose the trust of other customers.
Then Qiao Meng began to ask: "Do you all know about lapis lazuli? Do you understand it? You can stand up and explain it to me first."
"I know that lapis lazuli is a very precious gemstone, and it has an extremely high status in Buddhism. It has been difficult to be replaced by other substances for many years. It can be said to be the best of the best and is regarded as the Seven Treasures of Buddhism.
one."
"Because the color of lapis lazuli in the legend also happens to be the body color of the 'Medicine Buddha' in Buddhism, and it has the reputation of symbolizing 'heaven', so a string of beads must be worth 50 million." One of them suddenly jumped.
When he came out and said it, he sounded like he understood it very well, and there must have been a lot of research on this.
After hearing this, Qiao Meng smiled at the corner of his mouth, sighed and said: "I think this friend does know something about this aspect, then take a look at this string to see if it is what you said. If you can't see anything,
If you come, tell me. If you see anything, you can tell me directly. Don't worry, no one will dare to cause trouble for you."
"Just take a look, boss, can you let me take a closer look?" the person asked.
"Of course you can. My friend, please look carefully. My reputation depends on my innocence, otherwise I really won't be able to continue my business." The boss said seriously.
"Don't worry, I won't be mistaken. I know this lapis lazuli best, for sure." The man patted his chest and assured.
Then he picked up the Chaozhu and looked at it carefully. He almost didn't miss any bead. He thought in his heart that he didn't want Qiao Meng to take advantage of any opportunities. The others didn't care about the length of time and just waited quietly for him to take advantage of it.
Check all the beads.
About fifteen minutes had passed before the man put down the beads, turned to Qiao Meng and said, "Young Master, I have looked at it carefully.
This lapis lazuli is indeed not fake, and the texture of each stone is of the highest quality. Even if it is not from the previous dynasty, it is still valuable, at least worth three million."
"Haha, is that right? Then this thing is worth more than three million. What do you mean by selling it for fifty million? Are you trying to steal money? Let me ask you what will happen to lapis lazuli if you wear it for a long time?" Qiao Meng said.
"It's not going to happen, it's just that the color will become darker, so don't you think there's nothing wrong with it? So many years of precipitation, etc..."
The man suddenly realized something, so he picked up the Chaozhu and looked at it again, and then shook his head, saying that he was actually smart but was mistaken for his cleverness.
"I'm sorry, young master, I was wrong. This is indeed not from the Qing Dynasty, but made in modern times. It's just stupid to make it dark on purpose." The man apologized sincerely.
