The two of them continued to stroll around, with the brown bear and others watching on guard not far away. They walked into an antique store again, and Li Mo was immediately attracted by the things displayed inside. This store was large in size, basically the size of two spaces in the shop next door, and it was neatly displayed. Half of it was porcelain from the East, and half of it was porcelain from the East. There are oil paintings and sketches, and there are two glass shelves inside the counter with lights shining on them.
Different styles of jewelry and gold jewelry are placed on the glass shelves. Judging from the styles, they are all complex in craftsmanship and bright in color. Compared with modern minimalist jewelry, these displayed jewelry are more retro.
Moreover, the boss and shop assistants here are very formally dressed, wearing clean white gloves, smiling at every customer who enters the store, with soft and polite voices.
To be honest, Li Mo is very satisfied with the environment here, and he also sees that as long as the customer inquires, the deal will basically be completed in the end.
"Hello, are you Chinese from the East?" A blond woman in her twenties with a ponytail and exquisite makeup came over and asked with a smile. She spoke Chinese quite well and fluently.
"She speaks Chinese very well." Li Mo looked at the blond woman who was almost the same height as him and gave him the same smile, but the smell of perfume on her body was a bit strong, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"I have studied by myself for several years, and I am not very good at it."
Li Mo nodded, and he immediately saw that the porcelain in this antique shop was very good in terms of appearance and workmanship, and was comparable to the high-end imitations in Gu Yunxuan. Even if such porcelain cannot fool Chinese tourists, it is still sufficiently confusing to other tourists.
"Can you take a look at this?" Li Mo pointed at a blue and white fruit-patterned jar.
"Of course." The blond woman took off the porcelain, put it on the round table in the negotiation area, and then motioned for him to look at it.
Li Mo looked at it for two minutes, then raised his head and asked, "How much does this cost?"
"Three thousand euros."
After calculating it, it was almost more than 20,000 yuan. Li Mo put down the porcelain and said, "Keep this for me first. I will look at the other porcelains and then negotiate the price together."
"Of course, please come this way."
The blonde woman is very happy.
Qu Yang did not follow, but stood beside the round table. In his eyes, this small blue and white porcelain was most likely to be genuine.
Li Mo picked three more porcelains. When he walked to the oil painting area, he just looked at it with his special pupils out of a desire not to let go. Suddenly, a landscape oil painting transmitted a light blue halo, forming a halo that spread to all sides. According to this dating, the painting hanging on the wall is at least more than 500 years old.
Moreover, his artistic achievements are quite high, but it is a pity that he has not yet mastered the appraisal of these Western arts. If Professor Qu and his wife were here, they might be able to identify something.
This was the first oil painting of great artistic value that Li Mo found. He did not stop and looked at the remaining oil paintings and sketches before asking the blond woman next to him. He pointed at an oil painting casually and said, "These Regardless of the price of the oil paintings, I think they are all good. If the price is right, I will pick one or two to take back and hang at home for decoration."
"Sir, the size of these oil paintings also depends on their size. The larger ones are worth 30,000 euros, and the smaller ones are worth almost 7,000 euros."
Li Mo nodded slightly, which meant that the most expensive one was only about 210,000 yuan.
"It's a bit expensive. We have oil painting art studios like this in China. The oil painting there is, well, about the same area as that one. The content of the landscape painting is only more than 4,000 euros. It's not cost-effective for me to buy it here."
The blond woman still said with a smile: "Sir, if you like that painting, I can apply for a discount with the boss. Most of the oil paintings in our store are purchased from modern artists, and a small part will be purchased from collections. If you buy it from an artist, it will be much higher in terms of artistry and value."
"I admit that."
Li Mo pointed at two more oil paintings in succession and said: "If you pay 8,000 euros for those two paintings, I will take them away, as well as the four porcelains I selected, totaling 4,000 euros, for a total of 12,000 euros."
Li Mo directly cut the price of porcelain by two-thirds. He really didn't know how to cut the price of oil paintings. After all, he had no experience to refer to.
Gu Nao
"Sir, please wait a moment."
The blond woman was still calm and calm. Seeing that her expression did not change, Li Mo thought that he was not bargaining hard enough. They must have experienced this kind of bargaining method a lot and already have a minimum standard line in mind.
Li Mo sat on the stool next to the round table, and then saw the blond woman who received them communicating with a man in his fifties. That should be the boss. He glanced here a few times, and then raised his voice by three degrees. , seems to be criticizing the woman.
"Boss, you bargained a little harshly. The owner of the antique shop was a little angry and said that he didn't even recover the cost. Let the blond woman come over and ask you. If you really want to buy it, it will be at least 15,000 euros."
Qu Yang was quietly translating from the side.
"I see."
Sure enough, the woman came over with a slightly depressed expression and apologized and repeated what the boss said.
Li Mo was thinking.
After two minutes, he said: "I don't want the four porcelains. How much do those two paintings cost? I will buy the porcelain when I return to China."
"If you just buy oil paintings, it will cost at least 13,000 euros."
"According to what you mean, these four porcelains are worth two thousand euros. OK, then I will buy these four porcelains and pack them for me."
What kind of bargaining method is this? It's simply a genius. Not only Qu Yang was stunned, but also the blond woman who had been smiling. But there was no way to refute what Li Mo said. After all, it was based on their thinking.
"This this..."
"Okay, I won't make it difficult for you. I will choose another oil painting, totaling 6,000 euros. If it works, I will pay, and you can apply to your boss. You must know that the most indispensable thing here is porcelain and oil paintings. And so on. If you don’t do my business, then of course there will be an antique shop owner to do it.”
After much back and forth, the deal was finally settled for 6,000 euros.
The antique shop owner is happy, Li Mo is even happier, and everyone is a win-win.
The paintings are carefully protected by wooden frames and they offer delivery service, but it's not free.
Li Mo declined, and then called his two brothers and asked them to take the things back to the hotel for protection.
"Boss, is that painting also an antique?"
"Maybe, I had a very strange feeling when I saw that painting, so I bought it. In terms of appreciation of Western oil paintings, your parents are the authority. When you return to China, ask them to see if there is anything real. origin?"
Qu Yang looked a little embarrassed. Both his parents were professors at Beijing University and were quite accomplished in Western art. Unfortunately, his son did not inherit any of them.
"Boss, where are the four porcelain pieces?"
"One is a palace-made porcelain from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, one is from the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, and the remaining two are from the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. Qu Yang, it's really worth our visit this time."
Li Mo put his hands behind his back and walked very confidently.
After only two trips out for shopping, I found a Han Dynasty mismatched silver inscribed tiger charm, a pair of Qianlong Jinou permanent cups from the Qing Dynasty, and seven genuine porcelains.
If time permits, he will visit all of London.
