Chapter 1683: Boss Meng
Chapter 1683: Boss Meng
Some people just can't stand the loneliness and want to take a different approach. Over time, the interior decoration styles are also different to provide different services.
Compared with Lin Ran, who didn't care much, Yuan Qianyun liked the decoration style here very much. It was very similar to his home, and it looked very clean.
"Your perfume smells quite strong." Lin Ran said to the boss, without directly replying to his question.
When the boss heard this, he proudly puffed up his chest: "Brother, you have good taste. This is a perfume from France. It is only used in five-star hotels. How do you like it?"
"The smell is good, but I still prefer the smell of sandalwood." Lin Ran replied.
The boss looked a little unhappy, but because he thought he might be a big customer and didn't want to offend them, he brought the topic back to antiques.
Lin Ran is not actually a person who judges people by their appearance, but he still feels a little disgusted when he sees his boss. Just like when he first saw Wang Dehua, he also felt a heartfelt rejection.
As the old saying goes, appearance comes from the heart, and there is actually a certain truth to it.
The boss in front of him felt like a profiteer.
"Miss, your master doesn't seem to have a good vision." The boss said to Yuan Qianyun with a smile, and then grinned, "But it doesn't matter, everyone who comes is a guest, I don't care about this."
Yuan Qianyun originally had no objection to him, but when he heard him criticizing Lin Ran, he became a little unhappy.
They are the customers and have the freedom to choose the store.
Yuan Qianyun immediately didn't want to buy it, and whispered to Lin Ran: "Let's go look elsewhere."
"Just make peace with what you've got." Lin Ran was not a person who could be manipulated by emotions. Anyway, he didn't come into the store to spend money with the boss, so he took a look at his goods first.
The boss didn't know what they talked about privately, but introduced himself.
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Meng Jun, and I am the boss of Meng Xing Pavilion. I am not bragging. If our store's goods claim to be second in Panjiayuan, no one would dare to claim to be first."
After he said these words, Lin Ran almost spit out the tea he drank. He was too shameless.
Not to mention Tianlexing, the surrounding Juxian Pavilion is older than his shop.
Such arrogance.
Lin Ran became more interested.
"Boss, you don't have to be polite. We are here just to buy gifts for others. Don't be polite to us. Just bring us the treasure of the store." Lin Ran said with a smile.
The more polite the boss in front of them was to them, the more annoyed Lin Ran felt.
This kind of person is just endless, wasting other people's time, it's better to go directly to the topic.
Boss Meng also laughed when he heard this: "Okay, he is really happy! You are happy, and I am happy too. Just wait here, and I will bring you the treasure of the store now."
After Boss Meng left, Yuan Qianyun pulled Lin Ran's clothes.
"Hey, why do you ask for the treasure of the store when you come in?"
"What? Miss Yuan, can't you get the money?" Lin Ran joked, the Yuan family has a huge fortune, how could it be possible that they can't even afford the treasure of a small shop.
"This has nothing to do with money." Yuan Qianyun said, "This person is disgusting just by looking at him."
I originally had a good impression of the boss and thought he was very enthusiastic.
But ever since he disparaged Lin Xie, Yuan Qianyun had the idea of not wanting to do business with him.
Lin Ran felt happy after hearing this, but Qianyun still took him to heart.
"Let's take a look at the store's flagship store first. If even the store's flagship store is of low quality, there's no need to look at the other items." Lin Ran expressed his thoughts.
At this time, his eyes looked around, taking in the surrounding environment.
"Lin Ran! Don't argue with him later, but help me take a closer look!" Yuan Qianyun said, "I bought something for my grandpa's 70th birthday, so don't buy something inappropriate."
Although I think this sentence is a bit redundant, Lin Ran's attainments in Chinese studies are much higher than his own.
But Yuan Qianyun still needed to remind him, so he told Lin Ran while the boss was getting something.
"Don't worry, I will try my best." Lin Ran replied seriously.
In fact, at the auction before, when the auction manager told him that Mr. Yuan liked the gall pot, he really wanted to buy it.
But he still chose to back down when the price was finally announced.
It wasn't that he couldn't afford the price, but he felt there were some loopholes in what the auctioneer said at the time.
It sounds like the auctioneer is saying that the burl pot collected in the National Cultural Museum is a fake and the one he is auctioning is the genuine one.
But after thinking about his words carefully, he just said, "Our auction items are absolutely different from those in museums, and they are guaranteed to be authentic."
This sentence seems to be bragging about one's auction items, but it is actually a word trap.
The gall pot is a national treasure. Even if it is a black market auction, it is impossible for the customer to give it away. Once discovered, it will be confiscated.
So he concluded that the gall pots at the auction were fakes.
Nothing but real craftsmanship.
This is where the literal trap lies.
However, he carefully observed that gall pot and the gall pot in the museum were completely different in appearance and pattern.
Even if it is a fake, there is no guarantee that the auctioneers will actually have genuine items in their hands.
If it is genuine, let alone 5 yuan, I am afraid that it will not be able to win it even if it costs 20 yuan.
At the 2007 auction, a gall pot was auctioned in France. The price at that time was already eight figures, and the price was still in US dollars. Its historical value can be imagined.
It's simply too big and overqualified to be used for giving gifts.
This precious collection should be handed over to the museum and left to Chinese civilization.
Recalling the gall pot, Lin Ran had a rough idea of what the old man liked. The first thing he could think of was that he liked drinking tea.
If you don’t buy antiques, gifting some high-quality tea is actually a good choice.
Just as he was thinking about what gift he wanted to give, the boss, who had only been away for a while, came out with a box.
He sat down on the sofa and placed the box on the coffee table, looking cautious.
"You two, you have to watch carefully."
He carefully opened the box, and inside was a yellow plush cloth.
On the plush cloth, there is an exquisite tea cup.
Then, he took out another box from under the coffee table and opened it.
Inside the box were some white gloves.
He smiled and said to Lin Ran: "Little master, you are also a member of the industry, you should know the rules of appraisal, right?"
