Chapter 2751: Why is Li Fan here?
Because they know how to pretend to be poor, they can use this method to lower prices without attracting too much attention.
The most important thing is that Lin Ran's vision betrayed him. Even if ordinary people think there is something wrong, they often can't explain why. Only true experts can see through the fishy things at a glance and point them out tactfully.
Such people are usually rich!
The stall owner said: "5000 yuan!"
Lin Ran was suddenly speechless.
"Boss, the price you set is a bit too outrageous." Lin Ran held his forehead, thinking that he would be enough to ask for two or three hundred, and Lin Ran didn't intend to bargain for the small amount of money.
As a result, the stall owner asked for 5000 yuan, but you know what this means. Even if the jade seal from the country was lost to Panjiayuan, it would not be sold for [-] yuan.
As soon as Lin Ran finished speaking, the stall owner's face dropped.
"Little brother, the price can't be calculated like this."
"This jade carving has a certain age. Don't read the words on it. You are an expert and understand it."
"Now you know not to read the words on it." Lin Ran felt a little pain in his head, "No matter what era it is from, the price of jade is really too expensive."
The stall owner said with a smile: "If we can't agree on the price, we can negotiate. You can make a price."
"One hundred." Lin Ran stretched out a finger and said.
The stall owner looked at Lin Ran in disbelief. The stall next to him was eavesdropping on their conversation because there was no business. After hearing these words, he spit out the tea he drank in his mouth.
He really dares to make a counter-offer, and he really dares to repay it.
"Little brother, the price you offered is too low. Now if you go to the market to buy a piece of jade, it's just this big, and you'll pay more than 100 yuan." The stall owner looked extremely unhappy.
"You were the one who set the outrageous price first." Lin Ran said, "To be honest, I also own an antique shop. This jade is worth 200 yuan. I can't sell it for more."
"I think this piece of jade has been in your hands for a while. Do you think anyone would ask about such a weird jade?" Lin Ran said.
The stall owner didn't know how to answer Lin Ran's words.
The shape of the jade carving is indeed too weird. If the carving was more exquisite, it would have been sold long ago.
In fact, many people think that the quality of this piece of jade is good, but the carved shape is really scary. If this kind of thing is placed in the bedroom, just looking at it at night will give you nightmares.
Moreover, the origin is unknown, and there is still a trace of blood-red mark inside. Most buyers dare not accept it. They often just take a look and ask the price.
Now someone is finally interested in this piece of jade, and the stall owner is actually happy to sell it.
It's just that the price will definitely not be compromised so much. If you finally catch a customer and don't give him a hard price, you will be sorry for yourself.
"That's the jade of today. Can the jade of today be called antiques? Go look at the jade in those jewelry stores. The more beautifully carved ones cost 700 yuan."
"Besides, this piece of jade, to be honest with you, is at least from the Warring States Period."
"I don't dare to count further. I was being conservative."
Lin Ran frowned. This stall owner was really full of talk and dared to say anything.
"How do you determine that it is jade from the Warring States Period?" Lin Ran asked.
"This jade carving was left behind by my master. The origin of this jade is recorded in his old man's notes." At this point, the stall owner lowered his voice, moved his face closer to Lin Ran, and whispered: "Actually, this jade carving is The jade was dug out from the tomb of a prince from the Warring States Period, but my master didn't find out the specific name."
Lin Ran's heart sank.
There is indeed a problem.
It is no longer an antique thing.
Lin Ran said: "I will give you 1000 yuan, can you sell me your master's notes?"
Knowing that someone was interested in the master's notes, the stall owner, as a human being, could naturally guess the value.
"Well, I'm afraid I can't sell this to you."
"That's it."
"No, that's my master's original work. You have to pay extra!" The stall owner said hurriedly when he saw Lin Ran looking like he was about to leave.
"You are really a principled person."
"of course."
"Your principle is to sell the master's relics depending on your mood." Lin Ran felt ashamed of the stall owner's shameless behavior.
However, he does need this notebook because it is likely to be related to another legendary tomb.
In the end, Lin Ran bought the jade carving and the stall owner's notes for two thousand.
Looking at the jade carving in his hand, Lin Ran couldn't help but think of the first time he saw the snake-man statue. It was in the holy pagoda in Tibet. Unknowingly, two years had passed.
But he did not stop and continued to wander around Panjiayuan, because he had another purpose for coming today.
Just to see if there are any products like the Imperial Seal and Ancient Jade on the market. Through Wu Qing's mouth, he already knew that the people in their previous team had parted ways due to the issue of dividing the stolen goods.
Everyone was assigned a batch of goods and tried to sell them in their own way.
As one of the largest sales channels in Beijing, Panjiayuan is likely to be targeted.
However, after wandering around for a whole morning, he didn't gain much. Lin Ran planned to go to East Stone Valley to try his luck in the evening.
Just as he was about to leave, Lin Ran suddenly saw a familiar figure.
It's Li Fan!
I had previously learned through Yang Jianlong's relationship that Li Fan joined the army after graduation. His grades in school were not good, so the probability that he knew antiques was definitely not high.
Lin Ran noticed that Li Fan was doing business with someone, so he pretended to be nonchalant and got closer, but kept a certain distance.
Li Fan was not here to sell stolen goods, but to deal with a man dressed as a charlatan.
"Can this wooden sign protect me from evil spirits?" Li Fan asked in a deep voice.
The Taoist priest opposite had a serious expression on his face and said, "You have a lot of grievances on you. You are indeed haunted by the spirit of grievances. The Master Token alone is no longer enough."
"I also have a talisman here left by Master Sanqing. I can help you cut it into ashes and take it to expel the resentment in your body."
"However, all this will consume my Taoist fate, so I need you to express your sincerity."
Li Fan nodded and said, "It's easy to say. How much sincerity do you need, Taoist Master?"
The Taoist priest held out a finger.
"100 yuan?" Li Fan took out a small stack of bills and handed them to the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest didn't answer, but coughed, obviously because he didn't have enough money.
Li Fan looked slightly embarrassed, took out his wallet again and took out a wad of bills.
"Here is 1000 yuan." Li Fan said softly.
The Taoist still didn't answer, but his expression was twitching.
