NOVEL NEXT chapter 32 - He Doesn't Understand Porcelain
Soon, Su Yun and his group had signed the contract. After chatting with Bai Yong for a while, Su Yun got up and left.
When he arrived downstairs, Yu Shanhai hadn't left yet. His assistant held an ashtray, and he was smoking next to the Rolls-Royce.
Seeing Su Yun come out, he quickly extinguished his cigarette and stepped forward: "Brother Su, your eyesight is quite good, using so much money for charity."
Yu Shanhai had a mocking expression; he had waited there just to taunt Su Yun.
"Oh? I'm not doing charity?" Su Yun replied to him indifferently, casually hailed a taxi, and drove away.
"Hmph! Such an ungrateful fellow! And I just reminded him!" Yu Shanhai said angrily, looking at the dust kicked up by the car.
"Xiao Wang, just watch! This is someone with no vision! He's not even willing to buy a car, yet he throws away so much money for nothing!"
"In a few days, he'll regret buying this plot of land!" Yu Shanhai said fiercely, with a look of certainty... Su Yun, in the taxi, didn't go home but went directly to the Antique City on West Street.
This was his second time coming here to find a treasure, but given what happened before, this time it probably wouldn't be so smooth.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the Antique City, he heard Teacher Fan repeating those three phrases:
"New!"
"Brand new!"
"Undisputedly new!"
Su Yun looked up and saw an old man with a face full of indignation. On the table was a Sanxingdui bronze mask...
"Look at these patterns, how could this be new!"
"I'm just here to test you, you don't understand at all!" The old man, still angry, packed up the bronze mask and left furiously.
"Teacher Fan, looking at big items every day, huh!" Su Yun walked up and said with a smile.
"Don't even mention it! It's like this every day!"
"Why are you free to come? Let me tell you, after you found that ancient coin last time, all the bosses in the Antique City have a photo of you!"
Hearing Teacher Fan's words, Su Yun was also a little surprised.
Wasn't it just finding one treasure?
Why are they targeting him so much!
"What are you here for today?" Teacher Fan asked with interest.
"To find a treasure, of course! I always feel like there are still treasures to be found in this Antique City!" Su Yun replied.
"Mr. Su! It was incredibly lucky for you to find one treasure; a second time won't be so simple!"
Teacher Fan reminded him.
"It's fine, if there's nothing, I'll just look around. I happen to need to buy some things, so I'm also here to find a treasure incidentally." Su Yun waved to Teacher Fan and then walked directly into the Antique City.
Teacher Fan smiled and shook his head. This Mr. Su was addicted to finding treasures, but where were there so many treasures here!
To find two treasures here was no easy feat.
Su Yun walked into the Antique City, not going directly to stall number 111, but wandering aimlessly, buying a few small items from several stalls to hold in his hand.
As soon as he arrived at Old Zhao's stall, number 106, he was instantly recognized!
"Oh my god, ancestor, why are you here again! You're not going to find a treasure at my stall again, are you?" Old Zhao jumped up from his chair and said.
"Not at all, Boss Zhao, I'd like to, but you don't have anything rare here!" Su Yun looked at Old Zhao's stall in a seemingly professional manner, occasionally picking up a copper coin to play with.
Old Zhao watched Su Yun vigilantly. He was determined today that no matter what Su Yun wanted to buy, he wouldn't sell it!
"Boss, there's no need to look at me like that, is there?" Su Yun put down the copper coin, not intending to buy anything here, and walked towards stall 111.
Seeing Su Yun leave, Old Zhao stopped his own business and quickly followed him.
Stall number 111 sold a variety of items: copper coins, rare artifacts, calligraphy and paintings, and two iron dogs placed in the most inconspicuous spot.
"Oh, isn't this Mr. Su, who found a great treasure? Hahaha, this time Old Zhao has no treasures, so you've come to find Old Chen's treasures?" The stall ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) owner, Chen Gang, laughed.
Old Zhao, behind Su Yun, shot him a glance.
"Just looking around." Su Yun naturally couldn't show his intention to buy those two iron dogs; he just glanced at them and didn't look again.
Instead, a blue and white porcelain piece caught Su Yun's eye.
Although it wasn't a valuable piece of porcelain, the moment he saw it, Su Yun could feel the aura emanating from it.
It was old, no doubt, but not that valuable.
"Boss, name a price for this plate." Su Yun picked up the plate and asked.
Old Zhao saw Su Yun pick up an uncontroversial plate and immediately lost interest.
The market price for this item was very transparent; experts all knew the price.
Chen Gang's eyes darted around when he heard this. He knew Su Yun was an expert and would naturally bargain hard, so he couldn't quote an honest price.
"This plate is from an imperial kiln, and its condition is good. We're both connoisseurs, so I'll give it to you for 180,000 yuan!"
Chen Gang smiled. In reality, the actual price of this plate was around 70,000 yuan. Even if Su Yun offered 60,000-something, he would still make a profit.
Su Yun held the plate and examined it carefully, looking here, wiping there.
He looked very professional, but in fact, he didn't understand anything.
After a while, Su Yun put down the plate, then rubbed his chin with his hand, shook his head, and said, "Boss, are you trying to rip me off as a novice?"
"Where is this thing worth 180,000?"
"You're not unaware of what happened with Old Zhao, are you? I just feel a connection with this item."
"You open with 180,000, that's too much of a rip-off; this thing isn't worth 180,000!"
Seeing Su Yun turn to leave, Chen Gang immediately became anxious.
Isn't quoting a high price quite normal?
Why is he not buying it now?
"No, no, no, don't leave, this is just a professional habit of mine!"
"Since you've spoken, then..."
Chen Gang hadn't finished speaking when Su Yun suddenly turned back, placed his hand on the table, and said, "How about 120,000, what do you think!"
The word 'wife' that Chen Gang was about to utter was suddenly choked back.
120,000?
Did he hear correctly?
This plate was already expensive at 80,000, and he was offering 120,000?
Chen Gang was a little disbelieving. Had happiness come so suddenly?
Old Zhao also looked surprised. Could it be that Su Yun only had knowledge of coins, and knew nothing about porcelain and such?
This was great. He had originally expected Chen Gang to have a treasure found, but he didn't expect Su Yun to not understand porcelain!
Suddenly, Old Zhao felt very uncomfortable and disappointed.
"No, Boss, 120,000, are you selling or not!" Su Yun knew his plan was about to succeed!
Seeing this, Chen Gang naturally also realized that Su Yun didn't understand porcelain, and quickly put on a smile: "Hahaha, sell! Sell! How could I not sell!"
"I have to say, 120,000 is the lowest price..."
Chen Gang was in a good mood and looked at Old Zhao triumphantly, as if showing off.
Su Yun paid quickly. Only when the 120,000 yuan was in his account did Chen Gang relax.
After putting away the plate, Su Yun inadvertently glanced at the two iron dogs.
Inside them were three kilograms of gold!
Since you've let your guard down, I'm going to start my performance!
