Chapter 176: Shocking Paintings
Shopkeeper Zhu coughed lightly and stopped the young man next to him, because everyone who came was a guest, and he didn't want to drive away the guests.
Shopkeeper Zhu smiled slightly and said: "Of course, everyone here is a guest. I wonder what kind of business this gentleman wants to do?!"
Cheng Shi said with a smile: "I originally wanted to see what good things there were, but then I saw this painting by Han Gan, and I was tempted again!"
Cheng Shi's meaning was very obvious. He was very interested in this pair of paintings. He had to get involved in this matter because something happened.
Shopkeeper Zhu's expression changed immediately when he heard this. This person who suddenly appeared wanted to interfere, and he was determined to get this painting.
Shopkeeper Zhu said unhappily: "Sir, Mr. Du and I are discussing business, and I hope you won't disturb me, otherwise!"
He was threatening Cheng Shi, but Boss Du on the side became interested. He stretched out his hand and made an invitation gesture to Cheng Shi.
Boss Du smiled and said: "Since it's business, it's better to talk more. This gentleman is also interested in my painting?!"
Cheng Shi didn't care about Shopkeeper Zhu's threat and said to Boss Du with a smile.
"Zaixia's surname is Cheng. I have a special liking for ancient paintings. Can you let Zaixia take a look first and then make a decision?!"
Boss Du nodded immediately and said: "Mr. Cheng, please do as you like, I am also eager to use the money, otherwise I will not sell this treasure!"
Shopkeeper Zhu on the side couldn't help but feel a little angry when he saw that the two people had left him aside, and rushed to grab the business right in front of his house.
However, in business, it is important to be friendly and make money. Although he is reluctant to give up the painting, he can only quietly look at the situation now.
After getting Boss Du's approval, Cheng Shi walked forward slowly, picked up the magnifying glass on the side and looked at it carefully.
Cheng Shi didn't know much about antique appreciation, but he knew that this painting should be real, otherwise Shopkeeper Zhu wouldn't have offered a price of 100,000 yuan.
Cheng Shi watched carefully, but he mainly smelled the smell and paid close attention to the drinks on the painting, not paying much attention to the painting itself.
Seeing his move, Boss Du frowned, while Shopkeeper Zhu breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Cheng Shi was a layman!
However, neither of them spoke. Instead, they looked at Cheng Shi and checked him up and down for a long time, and then Cheng Shi gently put down the magnifying glass.
Cheng Shi then sat on a chair next to him. Cheng Shi already had an idea in his mind, but he still had to confirm it.
Moreover, there were a large number of people on the other side. At the moment, I couldn't challenge them, so I had to think of a solution quickly in my mind.
Boss Du stared at Cheng Shi who was thinking, and said with some dissatisfaction.
"Mr. Cheng, do you have anything to say? If not, please don't disturb my business discussion with Shopkeeper Zhu!"
After Cheng Shi heard Boss Du's voice, he shook his head, took a breath, and said with emotion with a smile on his face.
"Today I can see the authentic work of Han Gan, which is really what I wanted. This painting is a masterpiece of the Tang Dynasty painter Han Gan!"
Boss Du was very satisfied when he saw Cheng Shi and couldn't help but feel happy. It seemed that the price he wanted might still be achieved.
Then he said with a look of shame on his face: "This painting is our family's heirloom. My grandfather regards it as his life.
If it weren't for the company's capital turnover, I wouldn't sell it, so I can't afford less than 180,000 yuan!"
Cheng Shi pretended to be a little surprised. He had no intention of buying it in the first place, but he couldn't agree too readily.
He paused for a while, gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "That's the price. We've decided. Boss Wu Du, please wait a moment. I'll go to the bank to withdraw the money!"
When Boss Du heard this, he stood up quickly, stretched out his hand and said: "Okay! Mr. Cheng Shi is happy, our business can be done!"
Cheng Shi also smiled with satisfaction. It seemed that his delaying method had worked. He was about to leave.
Shopkeeper Zhu on the side was anxious. Seeing that the painting was about to fall into his hands, he did not expect that it would be snatched away.
Immediately, he stood up quickly and rushed to say: "Wait a minute, there is something wrong with you two negotiating a deal with me.
After all, Boss Du is here for our centuries-old signboard, so I can pay 180,000 yuan.
Boss Du, this is our place after all. If you make a deal with others here, how can we do business if word spreads about it!"
When Boss Du heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. It was indeed unkind to do so. He looked at Cheng Shi hesitantly and hesitated to speak.
Finally, he said: "Mr. Cheng, why don't you give in to Shopkeeper Zhu this time? If I sell the treasure next time, I will definitely contact you first?!"
Seeing this, Cheng Shi secretly thought that if he succeeded in the transaction now, they would leave soon.
Cheng Shi was anxious and said quickly: "In business, of course, the one with the highest price wins. In this way, if I offer another ten thousand yuan, Boss Du should sell him to him and make another offer!"
Boss Du nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, the one with the highest price wins the business!"
Shopkeeper Zhu didn't want to let go of this treasure, so he increased the price again: "Two hundred thousand yuan!"
Cheng Shi hesitated for a moment, then said: "Twenty-one million oceans!"
Shopkeeper Zhu was a little flinched at this time. He has been in the antique shop all his life and has never seen anything like this.
Today's scene has alerted him. Could it be that the two people opposite were setting a trap for him?
Besides, although this pair of paintings is of great value, if there is no profit in the end, what is the use of taking it!
Shopkeeper Zhu stared at Cheng and said, "Mr. Cheng is willing to pay 210,000 yuan. He must really like this painting. We won't take away people's love!"
Cheng Shi was relieved to see Shopkeeper Zhu quit. Although he didn't really want to buy it, if the price was too high, it might arouse Boss Du's suspicion.
Cheng Shi then said: "Well, please ask Boss Du to wait here for a moment. I will go to the bank to withdraw money right away!"
When Boss Du saw that the deal was concluded and the price had been raised to 210,000 yuan, the smile on his face became even bigger and he kept talking.
"It doesn't matter, we'll wait here."
Cheng Shi nodded and smiled, then quickly walked out of the antique store, quickly found a phone booth, and called the Central Patrol Room.
When Cheng Shi learned that Deng Xin had returned to the patrol room, he ordered the patrol officer to notify Deng Xin to bring someone to the antique shop.
After making the call, Cheng Shi also stared at the antique store from a distance. He was deeply afraid that Boss Du would leave the place early!
Not long after Cheng Shi waited, Deng Xin arrived here with six patrolmen. Cheng Shi stepped forward and stopped Deng Xin who was looking for him.
Deng Xin said doubtfully: "Brother Cheng, I just arrested Gong Yan. Who do you want to arrest now when you call me out?!"
Cheng Shi briefly explained to Deng Xin about Tan Jun's disappearance, and then gave instructions on the next actions.
"First, control the two at the door so as not to disturb the people inside. Then, after entering, control Boss Du!"
