soon.
Under Lin Chuan's instructions, the little charterer made an appointment with the client to meet at a teahouse.
It was the sun at eight or nine o'clock. The round outline became clearer against the morning glow. The light golden light shone on the road. The coolness of the morning was intertwined with the warmth of the warm sun. The familiar little electric car was walking through this place. on the road.
Not long after, the little charterer and Lin Chuan arrived at their destination.
Yueming Tea House.
This tea house is not conspicuous, located at the end of a quiet alley. The front door is small, but simple and elegant. There are several pots of green potted plants in front of the door, exuding a light fragrance.
The little renter parked the electric car outside the alley, took off her helmet, held Lin Chuan's hand, and walked into the tea house.
The service at the tea house is very good.
As soon as they entered the door, a graceful woman wearing a cheongsam guided them inside.
The little renter took a look at the cheongsam, then walked in Lin Chuan's ear and whispered: "Chairman, do you like the cheongsam?"
Lin Chuan was startled: "Let's do business first!"
This little housewife is flirting all the time.
"OK."
Zhang Xinxin grinned and said with a smile.
Dong dong dong——
The waiter led Lin and Zhang to a private room and gently knocked on the wooden door.
"Please come in."
A voice came from the private room.
"Mr. Li."
Lin Chuan and the little charterer pushed the door open and saw a middle-aged man sitting in front of the tea table. His eyebrows were thick and slightly raised, and his face was round and plump, looking slightly rich.
When Mr. Li saw the two people entering the door, he immediately stood up to greet them, greeted them familiarly, and then led them to sit down with a big smile.
This was the first time for Lin Chuan to see Mr. Li, so he took a second look at what Mr. Li was wearing.
Mr. Li is dressed in casual clothes, wearing a 'Landscape Jadeite Pendant' around his neck, a 'Small Leaf Rosewood Bracelet' on his wrist, and a lion's head in his hand.
It can be seen that he is a person in the antique circle.
As for the quality, it is still beyond Lin Chuan's eyes.
After all, the antiques he imitated were much more expensive than what Mr. Li wore.
There were several calligraphy and paintings hanging in the private room of the tea house, and Lin Chuan also glanced at them a few times.
For example, Friends of Women...ah, feel right at home.
After experiencing life, Lin Chuan is naturally sensitive to these things.
Mr. Li in front of him smiled and said, "What kind of tea would you two like?"
Lin Chuan randomly ordered one: "Pu'er."
Mr. Li began to brew Pu'er tea slowly. While brewing the tea, he chatted with Lin Chuan and the tenant about cooperation, antiques and other topics.
After the tea was brewed, Mr. Li poured a cup for Lin Chuan and the little tenant.
At this time.
His eyes fell on the so-called century-old red agate bracelet on the little tenant's wrist: "Director Zhang, your southern red agate bracelet, the more I look at it, the more precious it becomes. I wonder if you can let me take a closer look." Want to watch it?”
The little housekeeper and Lin Chuan looked at each other, then took off the red agate bracelet and handed it to Mr. Li.
Mr. Li immediately looked like he had found a treasure and held it in his hands.
He looked at each onyx carefully.
Every expression and every tiny movement of his was just right, like he was admiring a wonderful piece of art.
However, judging from his expression, it is not enough to call it a work of art, at least it is a treasure passed down from generation to generation.
This scene fell in Lin Chuan's eyes. Lin Chuan tried his best to suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth and acted indifferently, but he was already happy in his heart.
We are professionally trained not to laugh no matter how funny it is.
Unless you can't help it!
This Mr. Li is really a good supporter in the antiques circle, and he can be called an Oscar winner.
Although this is a high imitation red agate bracelet, the imitation is so good that it can be mistaken as genuine in the eyes of ordinary collectors, but it is not enough to be considered a treasure.
but.
In Mr. Li's eyes, Lin Chuan and the little landlord were just laymen in the antiques circle.
No!
Not even a layman!
Therefore, he is not worried about being exposed.
After looking at and admiring it for a long time, Mr. Li looked at the little tenant solemnly:
"Director Xiao Zhang, this southern red agate bracelet has been around for at least a hundred years. The more I look at it, the more I like it. It's wonderful. It's wonderful. I wonder if Director Zhang can part with it?"
The little renter glanced at Mr. Li and said hesitantly: "Mr. Li, this is a gift given to me by a friend of mine. Is it really so valuable?"
Mr. Li took a sip of tea, then pointed at the agate bracelet and said: "Director Zhang, you may not know much about agate. I will teach you how to look at southern red agate. Look here, this color, this texture, It must have gained its color and warmth after hundreds of years of erosion and baptism.”
"Mr. Li, how much is this bracelet worth?"
Lin Chuan on the side smiled and struck up a conversation.
This time, Lin Chuan was not here to show off, but to act.
Therefore, he would not expose Mr. Li's trick, but planned to follow the trend and sell him this '100-year-old red agate bracelet' half-heartedly.
Mr. Li looked at Lin Chuan, scrutinized it again, and said in wonder: "To be honest with Mr. Lin, if Director Zhang is willing to give up, I am willing to buy it for the market price of 100,000!"
The little renter's acting skills were on point, and she was slightly surprised and said: "Mr. Li, I can't guarantee that this bracelet is really the '100-year-old Southern Red Agate Bracelet' you said. How about I do an appraisal first?" ”
Upon hearing the appraisal, Mr. Li waved his hand repeatedly: "Director Zhang, I have been in the Anling antique circle for decades. It can be said that my eyes are the authority and there is no need for appraisal."
"this……"
The little housekeeper was a little hesitant.
If Lin Chuan hadn't given her eye drops in advance, with Mr. Li's acting skills that were close to an Oscar, she would have been stunned.
Mr. Li was indeed an extremely professional ‘trustee’ and immediately started making up stories:
"Director Zhang, to tell you the truth, I want to sell it to my wife. My wife and I have been through many ups and downs for decades, but I have never bought any gifts for her. Alas, after It's her birthday in a few days..."
A touching and poignant love story, told from the mouth of Mr. Li.
The little housekeeper took a deep breath, as if she was moved by it.
Her eyes couldn't help but look at Lin Chuan.
It wasn't because she thought of her and Lin Chuan, but because before Lin Chuan came, he predicted the success of Mr. Li's performance steps one by one, including the poignant love story.
After all, these repurchases at high prices are nothing more than a few stories.
For example, "I have been searching for it for many years, and my wife and children have been separated for it, but now I finally found it..." "The birthday of the elder in my family is coming soon. I have grown up with him since I was a child, and he treats me...".
All in all, touching!
Afterwards, the little tenant gave Lin Chuan a casual chat, raised the price, and sold the bracelet to Mr. Li for 120,000 yuan.
Deal done!
Both parties are very satisfied!
Walking out of Yueming Tea House, the little tenant was smiling: "Chairman, are these antiques really so profitable?"
Lin Chuan said with a smile: "There are a lot of people who lose money by messing with antiques. Many of the people who make a lot of money are experts in counterfeiting. After all, among the 100,000 antiques circulating on the market, you should be able to find one genuine one."
"Does this constitute fraud?"
The little tenant asked again.
"No." Lin Chuan replied.
"We sold the imitations as genuine products." The little housekeeper frowned slightly.
Lin Chuan laughed: "Didn't we emphasize it at the beginning? We don't know whether the bracelet is real or fake. If he wants to sell it, he has to bear the risk."
Well, I started stacking buffs as soon as I came up, so I’ll just make a disclaimer.
Even if the police investigate in the future, they will not be able to catch Lin Chuan and the little tenant. As long as they insist that they don't know whether it is true or false, it will not constitute fraud.
This is also the reason why it is difficult to hold people accountable in the antiques circle.
Even if you buy a fake, you have to identify it yourself.
"Then what should we do next?"
The little housekeeper became bolder and hugged Lin Chuan's arm directly.
Lin Chuan wanted to take his arm out, but the tenant held her tightly, so he had to let her go: "Now, just wait until Liu Qing invites you and Lao Zhang to the antique market."
"You also come with me."
The little housekeeper shook Lin Chuan's arm and said coquettishly.
Women who act coquettishly are the best!
Lin Chuan looked at the coquettish look of the little charter woman and felt soft in his heart: "If I don't go, will I watch my financial director and old landlord fall into the Antique Bureau?"
"The chairman is so kind!" the little tenant smiled.
"That's a little intimate."
Lin Chuan reminded, "It's a bit bad if your subordinates find out about office romance."
"Isn't the office a very exciting place?" The little tenant raised her face and said with a bad smile, "Office, chairman, secretary, hehehe..."
Lin Chuan was startled, then tapped the little housekeeper's forehead with his index finger: "You've watched too many movies!"
"You saw it too, otherwise how would you know?" Zhang Xinxin blinked and smiled.
Lin Chuan was speechless for a moment: "Let's watch together next time!"
"good!"
Zhang Xinxin promised, "Wait for me to find a website, hehehe."
…
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
In a cheongsam shop in Qingxiu District, the tenant was trying on an elegant blue and white porcelain cheongsam. Standing in front of the mirror, she asked Lin Chuan behind her: "Chairman, does this look good on me?"
Lin Chuan looked up.
The elegant blue and white porcelain cheongsam gently covered the little charterer's body, outlining her perfect waist and graceful figure.
The only thing that is a little bit abrupt is that the upper part of the waist seems a little tight.
Apparently!
A cheongsam with a bust that is too small is not suitable for a small housewife.
Lin Chuan glanced at the tight spot, twitched the corner of his mouth, and replied with high emotional intelligence: "You are suitable for a customized cheongsam."
"Then when I customize it next time, I will wear it for you to see."
The little housekeeper smiled.
‘Ring ring ring——’
At this time, the little housekeeper's cell phone rang.
Caller ID: Lao Zhang.
Line connected.
"Xiao Zhang, are you and Lin Chuan free?" Lao Zhang said on the other end of the phone.
The little landlord replied: "Old Zhang, Lin Chuan and I are shopping!"
"Where are you shopping?" Lao Zhang asked.
"Qingxiu District, what's wrong?" the little renter replied.
"I'll come to Dongda Street later. Your Aunt Liu wants to pick out a gift for you." Lao Zhang said with a smile.
The little housekeeper was startled: "A gift?"
On the other end of the phone, Liu Qing was beside Lao Zhang and said with a smile:
"Xiao Zhang, the string of hundred-year-old red agate I gave you last time seemed too casual as a meeting gift, so I wanted to choose another gift for you. It happened to be a few antique bosses I know who are new to the business. I ordered a batch of goods, so I wanted to take you to pick them out.”
The little housekeeper immediately looked at Lin Chuan next to him, with a questioning look in his eyes.
She was right next to Lin Chuan, very close, so Lin Chuan heard clearly and nodded.
"Aunt Liu, the bracelet from last time was already very valuable, so there's no need to pick out any gifts." The little housekeeper replied half-assedly.
"Old Zhang, you are such a precious daughter. Aunt Liu is also very attached to you. She is very happy and wants to take you to the antique street for shopping. It's okay if you don't want to sell it. You can bring Xiao Lin with you. You two can do it. Take a look." Liu Qing continued.
"Okay, Aunt Liu, Lin Chuan and I will be there later."
The little housekeeper forced a smile and replied.
"Aunt Liu is waiting for you two." Liu Qing laughed.
Toot toot.
hang up the phone.
The little housekeeper looked at Lin Chuan: "Chairman, she really did a good job."
Lin Chuan smiled, with a touch of confidence on his face: "Don't worry, I also laid out a plan for her to see who is the caught fish."
