Chapter 181 Who asked you to bargain like this?
Although picking up leaks is exciting, it has a lot to do with luck and is out of reach for most people.
This is not the case when it comes to theater. In Panjiayuan, dozens or hundreds of "good plays" are performed basically every day.
Therefore, there are not a few people who just watch the excitement without spending a penny.
"I would like to buy a Guanyin statue, preferably an old one."
The tour guide explained his needs very directly.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he didn't hesitate and took out a wooden carving of Guanyin from the brocade box beside him.
At first glance, it looked like an old thing. Zhang Yang became interested and quietly approached it.
Well, not bad, made of jujube wood.
The old-fashioned method is not bad, at least it has been buried in dust for several months and cannot be cleaned easily.
First listen to what the seller has to say.
"This is a statue of Shuiyue Guanyin from the middle of the Qing Dynasty. You have also seen the paste. It is an absolute veteran."
"If you don't believe me, you can think about it. With hundreds of years of history, the wood has been very weathered. It can't be imitated."
The seller's sales pitch is quite slippery.
The uncle took the Guanyin statue in his hand, weighed it, and nodded, as if to indicate that the weight was okay.
The buyer and seller debated for a while and finally came to an agreement on the price.
The seller quoted a sky-high price of 100,000.
Zhang Yang was happy after hearing this.
The Shuiyue Guanyin statue from the mid-Qing Dynasty was deliberately imitated with traces of painting. How dare you only sell it for 100,000?
What about the pattern?
If it were genuine and placed at auction, the starting price for such a wood carving would be 200,000.
The final hammer price is estimated to be at least forty W.
"I think it's worth five thousand at most." Chu Ziqiang guessed in a low voice.
"You said an extra zero." Zhang Yang responded in the same low voice: "If I give you an estimate, I can only give you three hundred, and there's no free shipping."
Now it depends on how the uncle negotiates the price.
"I sincerely want to invite you back. Can two thousand be all right?"
As soon as this counteroffer came out, the atmosphere changed instantly.
Zhang Yang noticed that several nearby stall owners all turned their heads to look at the uncle.
Could it be that the bargaining price was too harsh?
Zhang Yang looked at the stall owner selling Guanyin statues.
His expression was a bit ferocious, and he felt like it was hard to hold back his laughter.
The other party said:
"Oh, your bargaining is so powerful, you hit my cost price all of a sudden."
"For the sake of your sincerity, old man, the deal is done!"
"Ah? Is this a deal?" Chu Ziqiang looked in disbelief.
Feeling that there was no chance, he turned around and wanted to leave, but Zhang Yang held him back.
Zhang Yang saw several nearby stall owners taking things from the stalls.
The real drama has just begun!
Soon someone greeted the old man just now:
"Old sir, take a look at my statue of Fudo Ming King, from the Ming Dynasty..."
At first glance, the seller asked for a fake Ming Dynasty Fudo Ming King statue. The seller asked for 50,000 yuan, but the uncle counter-priced it for 1,500 yuan.
Transaction in one second.
"This is an Arhat statue from the Yuan Dynasty. It has been authenticated by experts and has a certificate..."
The seller asked for a newly imitated painted seated Arhat from the Yuan Dynasty for 23,000 yuan, and the uncle counter-offered it for 500 yuan.
The transaction is still completed in one second.
At this time, even a fool knows that things are expensive.
But the vendors who came after hearing the news had already surrounded the uncle and continued to sell their products to him.
"let's go."
Zhang Yang tugged at Chu Ziqiang, who was watching the excitement with his feet up. He expected that the market manager would be here soon.
This uncle's bid was too high, which seriously disrupted the market order.
…
After walking for half an hour, Zhang Yang didn't even ask the price.
Chu Ziqiang knew what this meant, and he looked in awe at the vendors around him.
All the items on the stall are not as old as the stall owner. This is not an empty statement.
"Is there really no leakage?" Xiao Chu asked Zhang Yang unwillingly: "Even if there is no leakage, there is always the real thing, right?"
"Want to buy the real thing? That's not easy."
Zhang Yang stretched out his hand and pointed at a large ancient coin stall.
Many coins on the stall are packed in special plastic boxes.
Some of them also come with a paper introduction, which may have been graded.
"Come on, let's go take a look."
When Chu Ziqiang heard that there was something real, he immediately became interested.
He actually wanted to cheat and lie to his fourth uncle.
If you buy a Yuan Datou worth tens of thousands of yuan, unpack it and say it was bought for 200 yuan, doesn’t that mean it was picked up?
"What's so good about this..."
Zhang Yang said he was dissatisfied with his body, but his body was already in front of the stall.
When he bent down to look at the coins on the stall, an old man in a red hat rushed over and squatted down before him.
According to Pan Jiayuan's rules, this counts as the uncle coming first.
When looking at things or asking for prices, the other party will be given priority.
In fact, even if the uncle didn't grab this, Zhang Yang would have to give him face when he saw his red hat and let him give the money first.
"Do you only have a few silver dollars?"
The uncle asked the stall owner. He seemed not very satisfied with the number of silver dollars on the stall.
Is he a big buyer?
Zhang Yang looked sideways at the other party, and suddenly found that the uncle seemed to be holding something in his hand.
Soon, he saw the complete appearance of the thing:
A silver-white shiny metal cube, much like a strong magnetic salvage magnet.
The method of use is to take this metal cube, "smash" it on the silver dollar, and then quickly lift it up to observe the changes in the silver dollar.
The action is a bit like the foreign paintings I played when I was a kid.
"Hey, what are you doing!" The stall owner noticed the old man's little move and couldn't sit still: "Your broken silver dollar appraiser, please break the pulp again."
The uncle just pretended not to hear it and continued to "smash" it there.
The stall owner quickly stood up, picked up the handicraft Guan Gong knife standing next to him, and shouted:
"What about you? Can you try smashing my silver dollar again?"
"Okay, okay, I won't do the appraisal anymore, right?"
The uncle stopped what he was doing and made a "cut" sound.
He turned to look at Zhang Yang, then secretly pointed at the silver coins on the stall, and whispered to Zhang Yang:
"This, and this, both are true. If you miss it later, he will be so angry."
After saying that, the uncle took his silver dollar appraiser and left in a majestic and high-spirited manner.
Zhang Yang didn't hold back and laughed out loud.
"What kind of silver dollar appraiser did the old man use just now? Is it true?" Chu Ziqiang came over and asked.
"Absolutely, it's actually a strong magnet." Zhang Yang explained with a smile.
Magnets cannot attract silver and copper, but they have a certain sensitivity to silver and copper.
Therefore, strong magnets can turn coins made of real silver upside down, but fake silver coins made of alloy will not have a similar reaction.
Since the uncle is so helpful, Zhang Yang certainly has no reason not to buy it.
And he himself has authenticated it, and there are indeed two genuine ones.
After dawdling for a while, when the uncle's remaining power disappeared and the stall owner regained his composure, Zhang Yang signaled that it was time for Chu Ziqiang to take action:
"Come and bargain!"
Xiao Chu understood, his eyes were shining.
"Don't worry, I have learned my lesson from that uncle."
He cleared his throat and asked:
"Boss, how much does this Yuan Datou cost?"
"One thousand and three."
"Thirty, I'll scan the QR code and pay immediately!"
"Huh?" The stall owner's hand quietly reached out to the Qinglong Yanyue Sword just now.
