Jin Buhuan took the box and put it on the table. He opened the layers of cloth and revealed a copper begonia-shaped animal-ear incense burner with the six-character and three-line regular script inscription "Made in the Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty." At first glance, the quality doesn't seem right.
This incense burner is 9 centimeters high and 16 centimeters long. It has a begonia-shaped four-leaf petal-shaped oval mouth. The body of the burner is also divided into four petals from top to bottom. There are two protruding animal heads and ears on the longitudinal part. It has thick legs and short feet, and there are clouds on both sides of the legs. The pattern, the bottom of the vessel is also divided into three layers of four-leaf crabapple petals, milky feet and light plain.
The biggest problem is that this copper color looks too new and lacks a sense of history.
Hundreds of years have passed since the reign of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty. Even copper utensils will inevitably develop a layer of patina on their surfaces after years of vicissitudes. Even someone with a limited knowledge base like Jin Buhuan can easily discover the existence of these problems.
Although the appearance characteristics of this Xuan furnace indicate that it is fake, the information from the supernatural feelings stimulated in the body shows that this thing is genuine...
"During the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, a copper begonia-shaped animal-ear incense burner was sold with a market price of around 800,000 yuan. The completeness of the shape was 60%, but its surface was covered by a layer of fake plating made in modern times."
Then a supplementary message appeared, "The real value is six million!"
Jin Buhuan was also surprised and couldn't help but wonder: "Doesn't he know the value of this treasure?"
Seeing Jin Buhuan looking at Xuanlu in silence and in a daze, the man in the suit urged anxiously: "How about it, do you accept this kind of thing here?"
"Are you going to pawn it or sell it directly? If you want to pawn it, should you pawn it dead or alive? How much do you plan to sell it for?" Jin Buhuan said calmly with a calm look.
The so-called live pawn refers to the fact that the pawn shop redeems the pawn items within the current period, and the pawn shop earns interest. Die Dang is also called Jue Dang, which refers to the behavior of the owner neither redeeming the pawn nor renewing the pawn to the store. At this time, the pawn rights and obligations between the two parties are completely lifted, and the pawned items no longer belong to the pawnbroker, but to the store.
"Sell it directly, I need money urgently, how about fifty thousand yuan?"
The man in the suit stretched out his palm, and in an instant, he cast a meaningful look at Zhao Donglai, who was sitting beside him.
When Jin Buhuan heard this, he felt happy, thinking that this middle-aged man really didn't know the true value of Xuan Lu and that he could get a bargain in this transaction. He didn't notice anything strange about the middle-aged man's expression.
50,000 yuan bought an antique worth 6 million yuan. This is a huge bargain, and a real bargain!
If this business is completed, it will bring a net profit of 5.95 million to the pawn shop, which is a drop in the bucket compared to the 50,000 yuan spent, and his commission will also be considerable.
To avoid a long night and many dreams, Jin Buhuan quickly printed out a standard contract for the man in a suit to sign. As long as the contract was signed, Xuan Lu was completely successful.
The man in the suit took the contract and pretended to read it for a while, then suddenly said: "I think it's better to forget it. I don't plan to sell the Xuanluo, so you should give it back to me!"
Jin Buhuan's heart sank. Although he didn't know what the other party was playing, his disappointment was palpable. However, since the transaction cannot be done with justice, I can only return the Xuan furnace angrily.
Jin Buhuan placed the xuanlu on the Eight Immortals table and asked the man in the suit to get it by himself without handing it to him directly. This was the rule in the pawn and antique industry. The main purpose is to avoid accidents during the delivery process. If something falls to the ground, it will be difficult to determine the responsibility. One party may say that you did not pass the ball smoothly, while the other party thinks that it was you who did not pass the ball smoothly.
However, the man in the suit stared at the Xuan furnace on the Eight Immortals table, but did not reach out to touch it. He suddenly shouted: "This is not the item I brought, you subcontracted it!"
Jin Buhuan was confused by him and said: "Sir, please don't mess around with us. From the beginning to the end, we never let Fang Lu leave your sight. How can you say that we have transferred the contract?"
"Who are you talking about! Be careful what you say, this is not the Xuan furnace I brought. You must compensate me and give me an explanation, otherwise I will call the police now!"
The man in the suit acted rogue.
"Who wants to call the police?"
At this time, Zhao Donglai, who had been watching the excitement, came over.
Jin Buhuan narrated what happened to Zhao Donglai.
Jin Buhuan did not mention the true value of the copper begonia-shaped animal ear incense burner to Zhao Donglai.
"Jin Buhuan, you are so audacious that you dare to steal the money and change the pillars. You are smearing our pawn shop!"
Jin Buhuan denied it. Just as the two were arguing, Wang Lingling walked in sadly.
On the way to work, she also saw the video of Jin Buhuan appraising treasures at the auction last night. She was very annoyed by the comments that slandered the "Chunfeng" pawn shop and Jin Buhuan's hype.
She believed in Jin Buhuan's personality and ability to appraise treasures, not to mention that he accompanied her best friend Qin Cong there. There was no way he could have faked it. Someone must be targeting Jin Buhuan and the "Chunfeng" pawn shop.
Seeing Wang Lingling appear in the store, Zhao Donglai quickly complained insidiously: "Jin Buhuan is so irresponsible at work. He even decided to accept other people's Fang Xuanluo without my knowledge. What's even more outrageous is that he also transferred the contract without permission. This behavior has seriously damaged the image and credibility of the store."
Jin Buhuan quickly asked for the store's surveillance to check to prove his innocence, but Zhao Donglai said that the surveillance happened to be broken today.
The man in the suit said with a proud look on his face: "You are the boss here. Your "Chunfeng" pawn shop secretly transfers customers' belongings. It has no professional ethics and credibility. I will bully you online and your pawn shop will close down." Bar!"
After hearing this, Wang Lingling frowned and became worried. In the pawn industry, credibility is crucial. If this person is allowed to go out and spread rumors, it will definitely have a negative impact on the business.
Jin Buhuan understood what was going on, and asked calmly: "You said I swapped your things, what do you want to do before you let it go?"
"Give me back the original thing, or compensate me for 300,000 yuan, and treat it as a permanent buyout. Otherwise, I will never let go of this!"
When Jin Buhuan heard what the man in the suit said, he felt happy and asked cautiously, "Three hundred thousand? Are you sure that's right?"
"That's right, it's three hundred thousand, not even a penny less. Otherwise, don't give up and just wait for the pawn shop to close!"
The man in the suit thought that Jin Buhuan was shocked by his quotation. How did he know that what shocked Jin Buhuan was not that the price was too high but that the price was too low, only 300,000! What a bargain!
It seems that the man in the suit does not know the true value of this xuan furnace. Having an idea, Jin Buhuan said to Wang Lingling: "Boss, let's buy this thing."
Zhao Donglai interrupted Jin Buhuan and said before Wang Lingling could speak: "No, this thing is a fake at first glance. He accepted the fake and gave it away to cover up the past. This is Jin Buhuan's responsibility. The three hundred thousand must be paid by him." Come out.”
Now Jin Buhuan understood clearly and guessed that this was a trap set by Zhao Donglai for him. Otherwise, the surveillance system happened to be broken today, and he still slandered himself like this.
Jin Buhuan took a deep breath, leaned close to Wang Lingling's ear and whispered: "Boss, if you believe me, I promise not to let your 300,000 yuan investment go to waste. The profit I will bring back will be ten times your investment. even more."
Wang Lingling saw Jin Buhuan being so frank and believed in his ability to appraise treasures, so she nodded in agreement.
Zhao Donglai was on the side and planned to exit to stop him again.
Wang Lingling directly interrupted Lao Kong and said: "Master Zhao, there is no need to mention it again. I am very loyal to Jin Buhuan. You ask the financial officer to come over immediately, and we are going to buy this square stove. We will settle the matter with this gentleman here. , and sign the contract immediately!”
Zhao Donglai was agitated in his heart. Not only did he humiliate Jin Buhuan this time, but he also made a lot of money.
After the finance manager came over to sign the contract and pay the money, the man in the suit left. This man in a suit was specially hired by Zhao Donglai, and Xuan Lu also provided it himself. The purpose was to make Jin Buhuan make mistakes so that he could get out of the shop and make some money along the way.
While Wang Lingling wasn't paying attention, Zhao Donglaishun came close to Jin Buhuan's ear and said softly: "Boy, this is the game I set for you. Hehe... Surprise, surprise! Get out of Jinyuan Pawn Shop if you are wise, otherwise I will let you You can’t eat and walk around!”
"I know everything."
Jin Buhuan said lightly.
"Old Zhao, I have a big surprise for you. Don't regret begging me then!"
Jin Buhuan looked at Zhao Donglai jokingly.
