Han Liang suddenly became excited: "This Yuntian Liulichang is the most famous antique street in Kyoto. You have also seen that the deeper you go, the more expensive the rent is, which means the higher the quality of the shops."
"Many prominent people will choose to come here to buy some gifts. This is much more prestigious than those luxury jewelry items."
"Well..." He Weidong took a puff of cigarette and then nodded slowly.
Seeing that he agreed, Han Liang couldn't help but feel ecstatic, but his facial expression was well controlled.
He Weidong finished smoking the cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stamped it out with his foot, and then walked towards the back: "Siqi, Qingqing, Han Liang said there is a good shop in front, let's go and have a look."
"Brother Tang, come here too. Since you and Siqi are friends, then we are all friends too."
The last sentence.
He Weidong looked at Tang Ming and said.
The words were very polite, but Tang Ming showed a meaningful smile and nodded in agreement with a slight smile.
He could hear every word of what the other party said while smoking just now.
He Weidong didn't even know he was being sold, so he still foolishly followed Han Liang into the trap.
"Let's go, let's go."
The silly girl Shen Qingqing didn't realize the seriousness of the matter yet, so she jumped up and pulled Chen Siqi towards the front.
Tang Ming thought for a while and followed without opening his mouth.
Even if he points it out at this time, the other party will not admit it. Tang Ming doesn't want to interfere with others, but Chen Siqi is Aunt Liu's daughter, so naturally he will not stand idly by.
The group of people walked forward.
Not long after.
Arriving in front of a magnificently decorated store.
Xingbao Pavilion is the name of this antique shop. There are several large red painted pillars standing in front of the door. Together with the antique door, it looks very charming.
The store is very spacious, and the counters on both sides are filled with all kinds of antiques, ancient paintings, calligraphy scrolls, porcelain, jade, and gems.
"Brother Dong, the owner of this shop is not an ordinary person. He is a well-known veteran in Kyoto and has close relationships with major wealthy families."
Han Liang introduced: "Many top wealthy families come here to choose gifts when they want to give them away."
"Well, it's really good."
He Weidong glanced at it and nodded with satisfaction: "It just so happens that my old man is about to turn 70. I will pick up some gifts later."
"My old man also likes antiques. The antiques from Kyoto must be of high quality."
Han Liang nodded with a smile on his face.
He knew that He Weidong's family was well off and he was the eldest son of a real estate developer in Jinling. His family was rich, so he planned to bring him over to buy things this time.
If you make a good deal, you will definitely get a commission for yourself.
And... Han Liang glanced at Chen Siqi behind him calmly.
"This Chen University beauty must have a rich family, even richer than He Weidong's family."
"The bracelet on her wrist is a global limited edition of Hermès. I have never seen it on the rich second generation in Kyoto..." Han Liang was delighted in his heart, then raised his head and quietly winked at the waiter at Xingbao Pavilion. .
The waiter nodded, turned and walked into the backyard.
Not long after.
A middle-aged man wearing brocade clothes and playing with a string of jade beads came out.
"I am Xie Zhifu, the boss of Xingbao Pavilion."
The middle-aged man had a smile on his face, bowed to everyone in a very elegant manner, raised his head and said with a smile: "Is this your first time coming to Xingbao Pavilion?"
"You can take a look first. All our products have certificates issued by the Kyoto Antiques Appraisal Institute. They will never be sold as fakes."
Listen to what he said.
He Weidong was a little excited, but Xie Zhifu was also very sensible and did not follow the others. Instead, he stood alone and waited.
"Tsk tsk, the antiques in Kyoto are so exquisite."
Shen Qingqing looked around: "But the price is not low, Siqi, why do I think you are so interested?"
Chen Siqi nodded: "I'm going to buy a gift to take back to my elders."
She planned to buy an exquisite antique and a reasonably priced gift to take back to Tang Ming's mother.
Jin Yuerong and Liu Qing became sworn brothers and sisters.
Chen Siqi had told her mother about Jin Yuerong before. If Jin Yuerong hadn't been proficient in medical skills and helped her mother when she was having a difficult childbirth, she probably wouldn't be where she is now.
At this time.
Tang Ming's steps suddenly stopped and he looked up at a glass counter somewhere.
Inside the counter, there is a strange-shaped jade that looks like a cloud, but it is engraved with dragon scale patterns and is completely shiny black.
"Um?"
Tang Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, took a few steps closer, and stared at the jade piece to examine it carefully.
After a moment, he reached out to push open the glass cabinet door.
"Little brother, wait a minute."
Behind him, Xie Zhifu, the owner of Xingbao Pavilion, hurried over and said with a smile: "My little brother has a good eye. This piece of 'Dragon Pattern Yunleijue' is the treasure of my store."
Tang Ming looked over and said calmly: "Can I take a look?"
"This..." Xie Zhifu hesitated and said with a sneer: "Little brother, to be honest, this thing is too valuable. I can't find a second one in the entire Yuntian Liulichang Street. Even I don't dare to play with it casually.
"
Tang Ming said in a playful tone: "When you put it out, aren't you just selling it? Are you not going to show it to the customers when they come?"
"..." Xie Zhifu frowned slightly.
Of course this thing is for sale, but the problem is that this kind of treasure is not affordable for ordinary VIPs. The starting price is 23 million.
He said that deliberately just now, just to let this kid retreat in spite of difficulties.
If it were other children from a poor family, they would definitely be self-aware after hearing what they just said, but the person in front of him didn't seem to understand the rejection in his own words.
at this time.
"oops!"
An exclamation came from behind, and then a panicked voice rang out: "Thank you, boss...Thank you, boss, this lady broke the glass comb..." The person who spoke was the Xingbao Pavilion attendant.
In front of him, Chen Siqi's mind was completely blank at the moment. She was holding a blank brocade box in her hand. At her feet, there was a white jade comb with several broken sections.
"Oh My God!"
Xie Zhifu ran over with a distressed face, stared at the broken antiques on the ground, and looked at Chen Siqi tremblingly.
Then, he looked at the waiter with an angry face: "What's going on?"
"Boss, I, I don't know either."
The waiter pointed to Chen Siqi: "This lady just liked the white jade glazed comb. I took it out and handed it to her, and specifically reminded her to be careful. But...she didn't hold it properly and the glazed comb fell to the ground."
When Xie Zhifu heard this, he lowered his head and looked at the broken glass comb, his face full of distress.
"Oh, you, why are you so careless!"
Xie Zhifu's tone was very complaining: "This white jade glazed comb is a century-old antique with special material. It is one of the few treasures in my store."
"This is something that sells for tens of millions. Why don't you know how to handle it carefully?"
Xie Zhifu looked at Chen Siqi: "Little sister, you can't blame others for this. If you were injured or damaged, according to industry rules, you have to compensate."
"The market price of the white jade glazed comb is 12 million. I... I only calculate the cost price. You can compensate me 10 million."
