"Man, how do you sell this wooden box?" After confirming, Tang Feng asked the store clerk.
The waiter replied: "Everything is clearly marked with a price, and the price marked on it is the price."
Tang Feng subconsciously glanced at the price tag above and saw the words "18ooo" written on it, which was eighteen thousand yuan.
"It's only 18,000 yuan for this old book box. Isn't it too expensive?" Tong Liyin muttered.
Tang Feng asked: "Can it be less?"
The clerk shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, it's inevitable. Everything in our store is genuine, and the prices are very clear. We are fair-minded, so we don't bargain."
Tang Feng said: "Eighteen thousand is a bit expensive. If you give me a real price, I will accept this thing."
If you just say that this wooden box is indeed expensive at 18,000 yuan, even a layman like him can feel it.
He was a drunkard who didn't care about drinking. What he paid attention to was not the wooden box itself, but the big treasure hidden inside.
The waiter still shook his head and said: "No, the price is not bad. Our boss said that the prices of things in our store are fair and he never bargains with customers."
Tong Liyin said: "Mr. Tang, let's go. Eighteen thousand wooden boxes like this can hold several. If you like it, I can collect some for you. The quality will never be worse than this."
He urged Tang Feng to leave quickly, but not to be fooled by him.
Mr. Zheng Sanye is well-known for his habit of cheating. His store is full of traps, and any novice who comes to his store to hunt for goods will be completely deceived.
Tang Feng had already taken a fancy to the treasure that exuded spiritual energy, so naturally he wouldn't just give up and miss it in vain, but he was unwilling to pay such a high price, so he was preparing to haggle with the guy again.
At this moment, a person hurriedly walked into the store.
What suddenly appeared was a middle-aged man with no grass on his head. This man was the owner of this antique shop, the big liar Zheng Sanye whom Tang Feng and the others had just met at Jubaoxuan.
Master Zheng was surprised to see Tang Feng and the two looking at things in his store, and he hurriedly walked up.
"Oh, what a coincidence, I see you two again." He smiled.
Tang Chao glanced at him and said with a smile: "Boss Zheng, don't you welcome us to your antique shop?"
"Welcome, of course you are welcome!" Mr. Zheng nodded vigorously.
He and Boss Yu had just been planning how to set a trap for Tang Feng. Who knew that the other party had already fallen into the trap before the plan even started? It was undoubtedly a surprise for him.
"Have you two taken a fancy to any treasure?" he asked immediately.
Tang Feng nodded and said bluntly: "Yes, I like an antique."
Mr. Zheng hurriedly said: "Which one? Tell me and I will definitely give you the best discount."
"Really?" Tang Feng said with a faint smile, "It's just this old box. I like this box and want to buy it. I just think the price is a bit expensive. I want to talk about the price, but your guy said the price is not low. Boss Zheng,
Give me a real price. How much is the minimum you are willing to sell for this thing?" "Are you interested in this old book box?" Zheng Sanye's expression changed and he said, "Little brother, you have really good taste. You know this
What is the origin of the book box? It is just a book box used by Cao Xueqin. It is very collectible. Look at the materials and the level of carving skills. They are all first-rate. The key is that he is
This bookbox was used by Cao Xueqin, a great writer in the Qing Dynasty. He used it for his studies at that time, and the manuscript of Dream of Red Mansions was placed in it, so it is still of great research value."
"The bookcase used by Cao Xueqin?" Tang Feng asked in surprise.
The other party spoke seriously, but as soon as he heard it he knew that the other party was making up stories to deceive people.
"You can't deceive me because I don't study well. Why don't you say that it was used by Wu Chengen when I returned the bookcase used by Cao Xueqin? That would make you brag even louder." Tang Feng thought disdainfully.
Tong Liyin also had a look of contempt on her face. The other party was trying to deceive a three-year-old child. As an expert who has been in the antique street for many years, she has seen many tricks like this.
She was worried about Tang Feng in her heart, but because of her face, she was too embarrassed to expose the other party's tricks in person.
"Yes, Cao Xueqin used it and it has a certain historical significance." Mr. Zheng nodded vigorously.
Tang Feng said: "That's good. Don't talk about so many useless things. It's more practical to talk about the price. How much can this thing cost?"
Master Zheng sighed and said, "This thing is really indispensable."
"Indispensable?" Tang Feng said in surprise, "It's so expensive that you can't sell it. If you sell it to me for less, you can still make a profit. Why not?"
"Can't you sell it?" Mr. Zheng smiled meaningfully and said, "Brother, let me tell you frankly, you can't buy this thing even if you pay 18,000 yuan now."
"Why?" Tang Feng asked doubtfully.
Mr. Zheng Sanye said: "Because other bosses have already talked to me. Director Diao of our city museum came to see me yesterday. Their museum is going to spend a lot of money to accept this old bookcase used by Cao Xueqin for collection. This
It’s a very meaningful thing.”
"..." Hearing what he said, Tang Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He originally thought that he would spend up to 18,000 yuan to accept this wooden box. Who knew that things were not that simple?
.
"This man named Zheng is not a simple man. He is indeed a notorious liar, and he is very good at deceiving people." He thought to himself.
He knew that the other party was playing tricks and was not telling the truth, but there was nothing he could do. He could not expose the other party's tricks in person and make the other party angry. It would probably be even more difficult to get the book box.
"Mr. Tang, since Boss Zheng has already negotiated with the museum about the box, forget it, let's go." Tong Liyin pulled Tang Feng's sleeve and said, she couldn't wait to leave this place of right and wrong.
If the treasure hadn't been found in that box, Tang Feng would have left long ago, why would he have stayed here and wasted time.
The treasure would definitely not be missed, so he did not leave. Mr. Zheng struck while the iron was hot and said: "Although I have discussed the thing with the people in the museum, the deal has not been completed yet. Little brother, if you really like it, you can take it back.
The museum promises to resell it to you, but the price is not 18,000, but 30,000. It is impossible to sell it for less than 30,000.
Yes, because the museum gave me this price, and I decided to sell it to you because I saw your kindness and wanted to make friends with you. You should think about it yourself."
"Thirty thousand? Isn't this too expensive?" Tong Liyin couldn't help but said angrily, "You don't even need 300 yuan to sell that thing to me!" Mr. Zheng's face darkened and he said coldly: "Miss Tong, you don't need to talk.
It’s so ugly to say that antiques are not ordinary daily necessities. They have no set price and everyone wants to spend their money. If you think it’s bad or don’t like it, others will like it. Your personal opinion doesn’t mean anything. If you don’t
You don’t have to buy it, but please don’t belittle my things in my store and affect my business. Xiao Peng, see your customers off.”
He immediately issued an eviction order with a very cold and arrogant attitude.
The thing was his, and if he didn't sell it, he really had no choice but to snatch it from the other party. Tang Feng couldn't do that kind of thing, so he had no choice but to reluctantly spend the money and take the thing.
