Chapter 1685: Getting Angry From Embarrassment
The porcelain produced by Ge Kiln is a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation.
The boss was boasting so much that Lin Ran just smiled and nodded from time to time, but did not answer the question.
Finally, the boss finished the introduction, and his face looked smug.
At this time, he put the box back on the table and turned to look at Lin Ran: "Little brother, have you learned it?"
Lin Ran smiled and said nothing.
In fact, this boss is very eloquent, and he is particularly good at taking advantage of people's psychology.
Just now he had been bragging about how exquisite Ge Kiln's works were. In fact, he did not mention any appraisal of the tea cup in his hand.
It sounded as if what he was holding was a Ge Kiln tea cup. No reason was given at all. The whole article was full of vague explanations, which made people feel that it was genuine.
In fact, when Lin Ran checked the tea cup, he discovered that something was wrong.
Because the opening at the bottom of the cup is actually new.
I don’t know if Boss Meng regarded them as being taken advantage of, or if the client was being arrogant and ignored this matter.
The tea cup in front of me is basically new.
And it is not a product of Ge kiln at all, it is full of Jingdezhen style. It should be an ordinary tea cup produced after the industrialization era.
Lin Ran looked at Boss Meng calmly and said with a smile: "Boss, I have little experience, but this tea cup seems to be exactly the same as I saw it in Jingdezhen."
Lin Ran's words were just to test Boss Meng.
Boss Meng was obviously stunned for a moment, showing an unnatural expression.
But just for a moment, he regained his trademark smile of a businessman: "Jingdezhen was most famous for the Jizhou Kiln at that time, so it's normal for you to think it looks familiar. After all, culture is passed down, and we can't let it pass from generation to generation, right?"
He started to be vague again, and Lin Ran became more certain that what he had in his hand was a fake.
Lin Ran said to Yuan Qianyun: "Miss, it is difficult to judge the authenticity of this treasure. Please be careful if you want to buy it."
Boss Meng became unhappy when he heard this and turned into a smiley expression.
He said to Lin Ran, "Little brother, do you think there is something wrong with my Southern Song Ge Kiln tea cup?"
Lin Ran nodded: "Yes, boss, why don't you tell me the basis for your appraisal?"
"I have a certificate!" Boss Meng said, "Do you know what a collection certificate is? I got this from the collector."
"What's the use of a certificate? We're talking about identification."
"You young man." Boss Meng smiled angrily, "Do you know where this certificate comes from? But it was appraised by experts from the Panjiayuan Treasure Appraisal Association, and they are no more professional than you!"
When the boss said this, Lin Ran felt something was wrong.
The shops that can stand firm in the inner streets are basically century-old shops.
It seems unreasonable that the store owner doesn't know how to identify.
Judging from the age of the boss, he is about the same as Yang Jianlong, so he should be the latest to take over the store.
Something always feels wrong.
Lin Ran had doubts in his heart, but he did not ask directly.
On the contrary, the boss showed a suspicious expression and stared at Lin Ran and Yuan Qianyun: "Are you here to buy something? Are you here to have fun?"
"Nonsense! Have you ever treated a guest like this?" Yuan Qianyun felt insulted.
Upon seeing this, Boss Meng immediately apologized: "Miss, I just think that you, the follower, have been finding faults and have no intention of buying."
Boss Meng put all the responsibility on Lin Ran, and instead packaged himself as a victim.
Yuan Qianyun just wanted to explain Lin Ran's identity, but Lin Ran still needed to find fault. It was obvious that there was a problem with his goods.
But Lin Ran stopped him from saying it.
At this moment, a waiter ran to their seat and whispered a few words to Boss Meng's people.
Boss Meng's expression changed instantly, "Why is he here at this time?"
"Oh? Boss Meng has a guest." Lin Ran looked at Boss Meng playfully.
"Xiao Xu, please come over and entertain the guests." Boss Meng called a master chef and told him that if these two people don't buy anything, don't show them other goods and just drive them away.
Lin Ran and Yuan Qianyun were drinking tea.
Xiao Xu also looked back and forth between the two of them with suspicious eyes.
He was also a little curious as to why the boss was wary of the two young men, so he asked curiously: "Are you two sincerely interested in buying Jizhou Kiln tea cups?"
"Jizhou kiln tea cup?" Lin Ran deliberately made a long note.
"Yeah, what's the problem?" Xiao Xu suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing.
When he and the boss were looking for it, they also made the right slogan: if someone came to buy porcelain, they would say it was from Jizhou kiln.
Although it is not an official kiln, the porcelain of Jizhou kiln is also famous.
But he never expected that after seeing Yuan Qianyun's gorgeous clothes, the boss suddenly changed his mind and changed his claim that it was Ge Yao's work.
Now, Yuan Qianyun could tell that their words were completely inconsistent, and it was obviously a lie!
Yuan Qianyun is not a person who gets angry easily, but now, she still changed her expression: "Your century-old store actually lied to people!"
Xiao Xu knew that he had said the wrong thing, and the most important thing now was to save the situation.
He pretended to be serious and said: "You two don't buy anything, and you are still here slandering others! Security, kick them out!"
It would be fine if the boss knew that he had offended a customer, causing damage to the business. But if the two of them caused a scene in the store and affected the reputation of the store, he could not bear the responsibility.
In contrast, he decided to use straightforward and decisive methods to drive the two young people out directly.
Lin Ran chuckled: "I didn't expect that a century-old store in Panjiayuan Street in the capital would also deceive consumers."
The coldness of his words made Manager Xu sweat in his heart.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Our antique shop has always been upright and never lied to anyone. On the contrary, you, as a colleague, came in and confounded right and wrong in other people's shops. Your intentions are to be punished!"
Xiao Xu didn't know how many customers heard what he just said. Originally, everyone was talking about their own business, but because of their excitement, their voices became a little louder, and many people were looking here.
The best way to restore your reputation is to humiliate the other party.
Pour all the dirty water on them, insist that they are competitors, and invite people to discredit their stores.
The security guard also understood what Manager Xu was thinking. Without any explanation, two security guards held Lin Ran, and the other guard held Yuan Qianyun, trying to drive them out.
Yuan Qianyun was angry: "Let me go, I don't even bother to spend money in your store!"
