"What?"
Ni Sisi on the side glared at the boss and said angrily:
"Two broken jars cost 880,000, why don't you go and grab them!"
The boss was not angry, but he steadily lifted a jar from the stall, held it in his arms and said:
"Don't be angry, beauty. If you look at these two jars with today's aesthetics, they are indeed inconspicuous, but they are real antiques."
"More than ten years ago, I was a soldier in Chuxiong. During one of the army's confrontation exercises, I disguised myself as a civilian and hid in a farmer's house..."
"Then I fell in love with this pair of jars at a glance. Later, when I was discharged from the army, I found this farmer's family and bought these two jars with all my retirement pay."
"Later, I asked an expert to identify it, and they said it was fired in the Jianshui kiln on the other side of the Red River."
"Don't look at it. It looks gray and dark. Experts have said that this is a color only found in old antiques. They also suggested that I send it to auction..."
Tang Songyuan knew that if you negotiate the price with him at such an antique stall, he will tell you stories.
The key point is that some parts of what he said are not correct, and some parts are specious.
There are 70% lies hidden in 30% truth.
From his words, Tang Song and Yuan heard at least two obvious mistakes.
First of all, this pair of jars did not come from Jianshui kiln, but from Huo kiln in Jinzhou.
The full name of the perspective field appraisal is the flat mouth malachite green glaze jar of Jinzhou Huoyao in the Ming Dynasty.
So the matter of seeking expert appraisal is pure nonsense.
At the same time, we can also conclude that this boss knows something about porcelain, but not much.
The information collected from farmers' homes should be true, but the cost is probably nonsense.
Besides, will the porcelain that is really going to be auctioned end up on such a street stall?
Tang Songyuan chuckled and said, "The boss retired from the army a few years ago. The retirement payment ten years ago was not much!"
The boss in the straw hat chuckled and said, "I was discharged from the army after 12 years of service. At that time, the discharge fee was more than 400,000 yuan."
"For the pair of jars, I gave everything to the farmer, and only the fare home was left."
"Because of this, my wife almost divorced me. If it weren't for my children, I would be single now..."
This boss's eloquence is really extraordinary, and he can speak all kinds of lies seamlessly.
In the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, we could not refute with truthful statements such as Jinzhou Huo Kiln and malachite green glaze. Speaking of it would give away the truth.
When Ni Sisi met someone who was more talkative than herself, she couldn't help but feel energetic. She stood up with a smile and said:
"Boss, your story is very good, but I really like this pair of jars. If you give me a real price, I will take them back and use them as vessels for raising fish in the ancient way."
The boss had a troubled look on his face, and after some hesitation he said:
"Let's see. Seeing that you really like it, I will bear the pain and give up. If you pay 800,000, these jars will be yours."
Tang, Song and Yuan sneered secretly, there were actually many such stories in the Jade Circle.
For example, some merchants in Myanmar are mainly selling a piece of jade. They will say that it is passed down from the family, and if the child is sick and needs money urgently, he will give it to you cheaply...
Or the man in the family was violent, secretly selling it for money, etc.
After you pay and are fooled, they will hide and laugh.
He coughed lightly and said, "Boss, we sincerely want to buy it, and your exorbitant asking prices are not suitable."
The straw hat boss said: "Well, don't tell me that I'm asking for an exorbitant price. Just give me a price and I'll sell it if it suits you..."
"Eight thousand!"
Tang Songyuan calmly and confidently quoted a price.
"What, eight thousand!"
The straw hat boss immediately looked angry, stretched out his hand to chase the two of them away and said:
"Baqian, go and have a look elsewhere, walk, walk, hurry up!"
Tang Songyuan laughed softly and said: "Boss, eight thousand yuan is already very sincere. Don't mind if I say something unpleasant. If you really want something that can go to auction, it won't go to you like this." On the street stall.”
"There are so many appraisers and buyers to identify the goods at the auction. Let alone 800,000, even 1.8 million is nothing."
The boss's face turned red and white. Realizing that there was an error in his words, he sighed again and said:
"There is a reason why I didn't send it to auction..."
Seeing that he was about to pull again, Tang Songyuan interrupted: "Okay, boss, this is Ruili. I have seen many jade merchants who can tell stories."
"It's even more bizarre and exaggerated than what you said."
"We are dealing in real terms. You earn what you deserve, and I won't let you suffer. Just give me a sincere price!"
The straw hat boss rolled his eyes a few times, then raised his hand to make an eight sign.
Tang Songyuan's face was slightly angry, and he said: "For this reason, you still want 800,000 from me, which is meaningless. Senior sister, let's go!"
With that said, he prepared to leave.
This time he really wanted to go, buying a piece of porcelain from a private kiln for 800,000 yuan, and he didn't want to be taken advantage of.
"Wait, wait, little brother, don't be anxious!"
The straw hat boss hurriedly grabbed him and said, "I'm talking about 80,000 yuan, 80,000 yuan. If you pay me, I will pay you. What an auspicious number."
Tang Songyuan snorted and said, "I think eighty thousand is too much, so don't hold me back."
"Let's do this. I'll give you sixty-six thousand. If you think it's okay, we can make a deal. If not, forget it."
"Sixty-six thousand is sixty-six thousand, we've agreed!" the boss agreed loudly.
When he collected the pair of jars, he only spent 3,000 yuan on them. They resold them for 66,000 yuan, and he earned 63,000 yuan with tears and blood.
But the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties would not feel at a loss. The peacock green glazed jars of the Ming Dynasty were painted with folk stories, and they were still in good condition. They were worth five or six hundred thousand.
After paying the money on the spot, Tang Songyuan and Ni Sisi each carried one of them and walked towards the red flag car.
After staying away from the straw hat boss's stall, Tang Songyuan said: "These two jars are given to senior sister. It's just right to take them back to raise fish."
Ni Sisi chuckled and said, "I just said it casually, but I didn't really want to use it to raise fish."
"Junior brother, tell me the truth. Do you really understand these two jars?"
"Don't buy two high-imitation jars for 66,000 yuan and go back... I'm afraid my grandpa will die laughing!"
Tang Songyuan shook his head and said, "It's not convenient to talk here. Let's talk about it when we go back."
Ni Sisi had the answer in her heart, her eyebrows were curved like crescent moons, and she said with a relaxed smile: "Then take it back, I will really raise fish..."
