At this time, Duan Kun was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. He was still as tired as a dead dog for five million, but others could pick up tens of millions if they missed it. The gap between people, Why is it so big! When he came to his senses, he quickly asked with a smile on his face: "Brother Chen, is there any secret to picking up leaks?" "There is no secret to picking up leaks!" Liu Sizhe sneered and said, "Brother Chen has been beating since he was a child. After learning the basics, I practiced in the capital for five years before reaching my current level." Duan Kun said dejectedly: "Isn't it going to take more than ten years?" Liu Sizhe said with a smile: "I know you don't have the patience! By the way, Brother Chen, can you take out this Guanyin statue for us to appreciate?" Chu Chen said with a smile: "It's possible, but you can't appreciate it if you look at our current environment. "Hey! It's not easy to find a place. One of my elders' shop is nearby. Let's go and sit there for a while. I just want to ask if the things I ordered have arrived" Duan Kun said The antique store is really not far away, it only takes two or three minutes to walk. On the way, Duan Kun also introduced his elder to the three of them. Duan Kun¡¯s elder is named Duan Ning, and he is a distant relative of Duan Kun¡¯s family. However, because they often visit each other during holidays, the relationship between the two families is pretty good. "Uncle Ning, here I come!" Duan Kun started shouting as soon as he walked to the door of the antique shop. Immediately afterwards, a chubby middle-aged man came over. This man should be Duan Ning, the owner of the antique shop. He walked up to the four of them. He said with a smile: "It's Xiao Kun. I wanted to call you originally. I didn't expect you to come!" Hearing what he said, Duan Kun's eyes lit up. He asked anxiously: "Uncle Ning, is there any news about what I want?" "Yes!" Duan Ning smiled and nodded, and said, "We will talk about this later. Can you introduce it to me first?" "Look at these three friends?" "Look at me!" Duan Kun patted his forehead, briefly introduced the two parties, and then pointed at Chu Chen and said: "Uncle Ning, come to think of it, this friend of mine is Mr. Liu¡¯s disciple is your colleague!¡± Duan Ning was very surprised when he heard this. Then he suddenly lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said overjoyed: "Are you Chu Chen who participated in the xx collection a few days ago, Teacher Chu?" Chu Chen quickly waved his hand: "Teacher Chu, don't dare to be , I¡¯m Duan Kun¡¯s friend, just call me Xiao Chu!¡± Duan Ning hesitated and said, ¡°How can this be so embarrassing¡± Duan Kun said, ¡°Uncle Ning, Brother Chen is my friend, it¡¯s not appropriate for you to call him teacher. The students are separated!" Chu Chen nodded. Agree. "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders. Come on, let's go in first and talk" Duan Ning welcomed the four of them into the reception room inside and asked the waiter to serve tea to everyone. After a while of greetings. Duan Kun couldn't wait to ask: "Uncle Ning, when will the things I want arrive?" Duan Ning replied: "I guess the seller will arrive within half an hour. But don't take it too seriously. Big hope, the seller may be a fake!" Duan Kun was surprised when he heard this: "Ah! Uncle Ning, how do you know that the other party will bring fakes?" "Because the seller is in our business in Shu. He is a famous seller of fake goods" "It turns out that the seller is known as Lao Cai in the industry. The reason why he got this nickname is not only the talent in the name, but also the meaning of jackal in it. There are antiques nearby. Yes, they say he is as greedy as a jackal. The old man's bad conduct is well-known in the neighborhood, and he is not afraid of boiling water or others finding out. However, this person is very good at catching the weaknesses of buyers, so that many people will be fooled even if they know that he has bad conduct. Many people were deceived, even Duan Ning was deceived by him once. Ning had not yet opened an antique shop at that time. One time he bought a gilt-bronze Buddha statue from the Northern Wei Dynasty. The bun of the Buddha statue was a ball-shaped high bun, which retained some of the legacy of the Taihe period. But the face becomes longer, the eyes are like slender moons, the eyebrows are half arced, the nose is plump, the corners of the mouth are upturned, with a slight smile and a gentle expression. The most distinctive feature is the clothing pattern decoration of the statue. Although it also has a monk's robe inside, the cassock is crossed on the chest like a silk, especially on the shoulders, forming a sharp angle, and the part behind the back is long. Hanging on both sides, it is obviously more decorative than realistic. The pedestal is double-layered, and there is a leaning lotus seat on the hollow seat. Such a good thing, of course, Duan Ning felt like a treasure, but at that time, he happened to be short of money, and he didn't have any good things except this stone Buddhist niche, so he wanted to transfer it.Go, of course, it will be expensive. Duan Ning also knew Lao Cai. Although he also knew that Lao Cai had a bad character, Lao Cai had a talent for talking. He could talk about anything. Duan Ning felt that he often listened to Lao Cai's talk. He can also learn some experience from it. In addition, he feels that he is more restrained and is not afraid of interacting with older talents. One afternoon, the old man came to Duan Ning¡¯s house and talked about all the strange and interesting things from all over the world. Duan Ning was giddy and praised him repeatedly. On a whim, Duan Ning took out the bronze Buddha he bought and said, "What do you think of this Buddha statue of mine?" The old man looked at it carefully and said casually: "Well, it's still pretty good, but the face is a bit off. You see, the nose is big and the eyes are deep, and it looks like a foreigner, not a Buddhist statue from our country, so the price is a bit lower. " At that time, Ning didn't know at all that it was the unique style of Buddhist statues from the Yanchang to Zhengguang years of the Northern Wei Dynasty. He somewhat agreed with what the veteran said, so he asked: "How much can you give me?" "How much do you want?" "Fifty thousand!" "Fifty thousand is too expensive, even in our country you can't sell this. The price is high, let alone foreign. If I give you 20,000, it¡¯s probably a high price.¡± "You can't sell it for 20,000 yuan. Don't you think a bronze Buddha like this can be sold for 100,000 yuan at an auction?" "How can you compare it to an auction? We sell this thing down there without tax or various fees. Where can we sell it? Is it so expensive?¡± But no matter what, Duan Ning couldn¡¯t let go of the price. So, Lao Cai rolled his eyes, stood up and said, "Okay, let's sell it first. To tell you the truth, no one will bid higher than me. Sooner or later, you will have to sell it to me." After that, he left. . After leaving Duan Ning¡¯s house, Lao Cai made five phone calls in a row, then exhaled and went home to have a drink in a happy mood. The next day, people came to Duan Ning¡¯s house to buy bronze Buddhas. They took them out and looked at them for a long time, shook their heads, and before leaving, they gave a price of 15,000! On the third day, another person came to Duan Ning's house. As soon as he saw the bronze Buddha, he shouted, "This piece of shit costs 50,000?" I'll try my best and give you 10,000! The fourth day The fifth day The sixth day The seventh day, Duan Ning couldn't stand it anymore. He was still young at the time, and he would never have thought of such twists and turns. He just felt that the price of the bronze Buddha was getting higher and higher day by day. The young man regretted not selling it to Lao Cai at that time, so he couldn't help but pick up the phone: "Lao Cai, I'll sell that bronze Buddha to you." "You can sell it to me, but I can only give you eighteen thousand." Duan Ning thought about it, but was really scared by the current price, so he gritted his teeth and agreed: "Eighteen thousand, just eighteen thousand." At noon, in the tavern, the old man raised his glass and faced five people. : "Thank you all for your help, thank you very much, please" Hearing this, Duan Kun asked curiously: "I said Uncle Ning, how do you know this matter so clearly? Could it be that this veteran would do it in front of you? , tell you this again?" Duan Ning said with a smile: "That's definitely impossible. Although the old man is a bastard, he is not such a bastard. Didn't he ask five people to help him at the beginning? One of my friends later had some business dealings with me, and one time when we were drinking together, he told me about it, and I found out that he later resold the Buddha statue and made a profit of one hundred thousand. " "No, Uncle Ning, that's it. Such a guy, you actually do business with him?" Duan Kun said angrily. "If it were before, I would definitely not do business with him, but now this guy is in trouble and is very short of money. During this time, he is becoming afraid of the collections he has collected over the years, so" Duan Ning smiled slightly, and the meaning behind his words was self-evident. "Hey, why is this guy in trouble? Is it karma?" Duan Kun looked curious. Duan Ning said with a smile: "Absolutely. If you have the truth, you will always lie to others. Last week, Lao Cai suddenly started to sell off his collection. At first, everyone didn't want to take over. They were afraid that Lao Cai would lie to others again, but later on A friend of Lao Cai heard that Lao Cai was deceived, and the deception was so miserable that not only was his house mortgaged, but he also owed a lot of debt. Because of this, he sold his collection to raise money. "Uncle Ning, what is going on?" Duan Kun asked again. "I don't know about that." Duan Ning spread his hands: "No one said how I was deceived. Although I am curious, I don't want to find out what happened. Anyway, the previous losses have already been I earned it from Lao Cai. "Oh! Uncle Ning, it seems you took advantage of it," Duan Kun said with a smile. Duan Ning laughed and cursed."You kid, what are you doing to take advantage of the situation? This is a normal business transaction! However, Lao Cai is still not easy to trust. A few days ago, someone said that the thing Lao Cai sold to him was a fake. So, when it comes time to trade, we all have to keep our eyes open so that he doesn't take advantage of us." Everyone nodded, and then Duan Kun smiled and said, "Uncle Ning, we have a strong lineup now. , Not only are there experts like you, but there is also Brother Chen, Mr. Liu¡¯s proud disciple. I can¡¯t believe that Mr. Liu is so powerful and can escape our sharp eyes. " Duan Ning smiled and nodded: " This is true, but we still need to pay attention to what we should pay attention to" (To be continued)
