Chapter 1722: Transaction Completed
Ke Hui looked a little angry after hearing this, but it was not because Boss Meng was taken away, but because Boss Meng did not inherit his ancestral business and abandoned such exquisite craftsmanship!
It seems that Ke Hui's love for root carvings is no longer ordinary.
This is normal. Root carvings are extremely rare artworks among antiques. Compared with other ornaments, they are cheaper and rarer in quantity.
Compared with other handicrafts, root carving pays more attention to the authenticity.
Most root carvings determine what shape they can be carved into when they are dug out. In a sense, they are gifts from nature.
When Lin Ran learned this, he quickly said: "Although Meng Lin is no longer engaged in root carving work, I have asked someone to investigate his family before. His grandfather was still a very famous root carving master during the Republic of China. His name is His name is Meng Yuanjiang."
The name of root carving master cannot be spread at all in this era.
After all, the number of collectors is small, and the title of master is even less spread.
But in order to sell something, it naturally needs to be packaged, so I told this background.
Sure enough, Ke Hui became more interested after listening to it. Although he had never heard of this master of the Republic of China, he had to have a name for collecting. It would be more honorable for him to collect the works of this master of the Republic of China.
He is not afraid that this master of the Republic of China is not famous at all. After staying in the antique industry for so long, he naturally understands a truth.
People rely on clothes, and reputation depends on packaging.
Looking carefully at the root carving work in front of me, the workmanship is extremely exquisite. The carving can be described as superb, and there is also patina on the surface.
You can indeed be called a master!
He nodded, "Yes, Lin Ran, I want these root carvings."
"Okay." Lin Ran found it funny when he saw Ke Hui inspecting the root carving, and he actually saw a look of obsession on his face.
Moreover, although Ke Hui does not seem to understand style, he not only looks at it, but also touches it with his hands to check the material of the root carving.
As the saying goes, a long-term illness makes a good doctor. He was just interested in root carving. After getting in touch with it more, he actually formed his own aesthetic system.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ran knew that the deal had been concluded.
He doesn't want to make more money, he just wants to make back the money he lost.
When Ke Hui finished inspecting the goods, Ke Hui praised it: "It's really good. It's purely handmade, with no trace of mechanical production at all."
Unexpectedly, he actually knew how to mechanically manufacture root carvings.
"Okay, Lin Ran, you make a price and I'll take it if I think it's suitable." Although Ke Hui said this, looking at his expression, he would agree to whatever Lin Ran said casually.
Lin Ran originally wanted to directly announce the price of 15, but on second thought, he could see Ke Hui's sincerity.
As an antique family in the capital, the family is not short of money at all. For such a rich man, letting him bid by himself can maximize profits.
"Master Ke, please give me a price."
"Hey, I said you're really not a simple guy." As a businessman, Ke Hui couldn't tell what Lin Ran was thinking.
As a wealthy businessman, and he owed Lin Ran a favor, it was naturally impossible for him to give a low price.
After thinking for a moment, he gave a number.
"20."
"Deal." Lin Ran agreed without thinking.
Ke Yu said: "Brother, you buy a bunch of junk again. Dad will be unhappy again."
Ke Hui signaled that Ke Yu was okay, "I will take care of this batch of things myself."
Isn't it just money?His family didn't lack these things. If he wanted to buy some fun things to go back to, his father could only criticize him a few times and not take it to heart.
In this way, the previous loss of 15 yuan was solved, and 5 yuan was made.
Lin Ran naturally seemed very happy, and Ke Hui didn't feel at all disadvantaged.
In his opinion, these root carvings are good things and are valuable as collections.
Of course, he wouldn't carry such a large amount of money with him, so he gave Lin Ran a check and wrote the amount of 20 on it.
"You know how to use checks, right?"
"Of course." Lin Ran put away the check and wanted to invite them to have dinner at home.
However, this proposal was rejected by Ke Hui.
On the surface, Ke Hui was polite to Lin's father, but in fact, he really felt that the surrounding environment was a bit dirty.
After all, if you come from a wealthy family, you will have very high requirements for hygiene. Eating in such a rural place always feels unhygienic.
But Ke Yu wanted to stay and said, "Brother, why don't you go back first? I want to eat farm food. Lin Ran will send me back in a while, right?"
"That's natural." Lin Ran returned, but he felt a little embarrassed. After all, he and Ke Yu were not very familiar with each other. If Yuan Qianyun knew about it, he would probably be unhappy again.
Of course Ke Hui saw this and pretended to be angry and said: "Sister, why are you so embarrassed to eat and drink at other people's houses? Let's go back first. Next time we are free, we will come over to eat together. Teacher Wu is still here I’m waiting for you at home.”
Mentioning the word "Teacher Wu", Ke Yu had an obviously unhappy expression on his face.
"I have to make up classes again. It's really annoying."
"If you don't study hard, you will have to go home and do business."
"It seems like you don't have to worry about the family business after graduation." Ke Yu stuck out his tongue.
Obviously she did not dare to go against her family's wishes, so she had to say to Lin Ran: "You owe me a meal, please remember to replenish it in the future."
"Definitely." Lin Ran nodded.
Because there were too many root carvings, Ke Hui's car couldn't fit them in, so he said that he would arrange for a driver to come over in the afternoon and take away all the carvings. He would take the delivery order and repeatedly told Lin Ran not to hand over the things. In the hands of others, only his own driver can be trusted.
"rest assured."
After getting Lin Ran's promise, Ke Hui drove away with his sister.
Lin Ran looked at the car driving away with mixed feelings in his heart.
"There really is no unsold goods in the world. Let's see if we can find a buyer."
Boss Meng is a typical example. If he knew that his root carvings were so valuable and could build a good relationship with the Ke family, he would be able to get discounts on antiques if he wanted to buy them in the future.
It's a pity that he doesn't have such connections and is still a gambling dog.
Recalling that I was deceived by his contract, I felt really angry, and I secretly decided that I would never do business with anyone who has no contractual spirit again.
Although he seemed to have made money this time, in fact he failed to get the store he really wanted.
In the afternoon, after Kehui's driver came to transport all the root carvings away, the parents noticed that all the wood at home was missing.
