He immediately thought about it and said: "You just pick something and I pay the bill for you. It's like I'm going to default on the bill."
"You know whether you want to default on the bill or not." Lin Fan complained and immediately went back to the counter to start choosing.
Zhou Shen was extremely angry.
But it was not easy for him to have an attack. After all, there were so many people watching. If he broke his promise again, the day would not end well.
At this time, everyone dispersed.
Zhou Shen suddenly thought of something, immediately took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Boss Cai:
[Lao Cai, no matter what Lin chooses later, don’t raise the price. I’ll treat you to a drink later.]
After Boss Cai saw WeChat, he immediately responded with an "ok" gesture.
Only then did Zhou Shen feel relieved.
Although he knew that there were not many real antiques in this store, even if there were a few genuine ones, their value would not be much higher.
But he was also afraid that Boss Cai would deliberately sell it at a high price, which would screw him up.
Therefore, he must give Boss Cai a reminder.
At this time, Zhao Lin is here.
She was very unwilling.
In order to win over Zhou Shen and Boss Cai, she had spent a lot of money to cheat Liu Qian.
Now it's all in vain!
And now, Liu Qian obviously doesn't want to talk to her anymore, letting her know that she may have no chance in the future.
A deep sense of frustration lingered in her heart.
It's neither letting her go nor not. It's extremely confusing and embarrassing.
A few minutes passed.
She couldn't bear it any longer, so she went to find Liu Qian, planning to find an excuse to leave.
at this time.
Lin Fan suddenly pointed to a painting hanging on the wall and asked Boss Cai: "This painting is good, what's the price?"
When Zhao Lin saw this, she immediately became curious and gave up the idea of leaving.
Boss Cai's side.
He had been watching Lin Fan choose, but when Lin Fan asked, he immediately raised his head and looked over.
After seeing the painting, he immediately frowned.
"You want to choose this painting?"
"Take it off and let me take a look first."
Boss Cai immediately came over, carefully took down the painting, then put it on the counter and unfolded it.
Lin Fan leaned down and looked carefully.
Boss Cai couldn't help but be confused.
This painting is indeed authentic, but it is a painting by a poor painter in the late Qing Dynasty, and the level of creation is also very average.
He bought it for only eight thousand yuan.
But it has been hanging in the store for more than two years, but it has never been sold, which made him feel that even 8,000 yuan was too expensive.
However, this was not the reason for his doubts.
What really puzzled him was that there were many authentic ancient paintings in his store, all of which were much more valuable than this painting.
Lin Fan didn't choose them, but fell in love with this painting...
Is there any mystery here?
He thought for a while and immediately sent a WeChat message to Zhou Shen:
[Lao Zhou, help me identify that painting to see if it is a painting by a famous Qing Dynasty artist? If it is really a famous painting, I won’t give it to that guy. I will sell it at a high price later and give you 20% of it! 】
【50%.】
[Your heart is too dark, at most 30%!]
【make a deal.】
Zhou Shen put away his cell phone and walked over.
He just glanced at it casually and couldn't help but shook his head.
With this level of painting, he is worthy of being a famous artist from the Qing Dynasty...
He can find any ancient painting enthusiast and make a high imitation of one or two, and even sell it for more money than this painting!
But he couldn't say it clearly, so he had to pretend to look serious.
Two minutes later.
He backed away calmly, and then sent a WeChat message to Boss Cai:
[I think this famous painting is only worth 5,000 yuan at most!]
Five thousand?
Boss Cai immediately felt unhappy.
He originally bought it for 8,000 yuan. If he sold it for 5,000 yuan, wouldn't he make a big loss?
Immediately, he figured it out.
Damn, Zhou Shen is trying to lower the price!
After all, no matter what the price is, Zhou Shen has to pay it, so naturally he doesn't want to pay too much.
then.
Boss Cai immediately replied: [I originally bought it for 10,000 yuan, and it will never be lower than this price later!]
【Fuck you sister, you are running a black shop!】
[If you tell me that I run a shady store again, believe it or not, I will immediately recommend other ancient paintings in the store to the guy named Lin? You can’t buy them for less than 100,000 yuan!]
[No farewell, Lao Cai, please spare me, I can’t afford one hundred thousand yuan.]
…
Zhao Lin noticed the strange behavior of the two people.
Out of curiosity, she quietly walked around behind Zhou Shen and glanced at the chat history while he wasn't paying attention.
Suddenly, she looked shocked.
These two people are actually doing little tricks behind the scenes!
While shocked, she suddenly had a thought in her mind.
Although she can't defraud Liu Qian of any money, if she can regain Liu Qian's trust, she can still be friends with Liu Qian in the future.
At that time, she can still find Liu Qian to eat, drink, and even buy expensive cosmetics...
It’s not a bad day like this!
So, she immediately walked to Liu Qian's side and patted Liu Qian's shoulder.
"What's up?"
Liu Qian turned around, her voice was very cold.
Zhao Lin looked embarrassed, but she still mustered up the courage to say: "Qianqian, let me tell you a secret, please don't be angry with me, okay?"
"Secret?" Liu Qian didn't look back, "I'm not interested."
Zhao Lin was anxious and quickly leaned into Liu Qian's ear, lowering her voice and saying, "It's about your brother Lin."
"Huh?" Liu Qian looked over immediately.
Seeing that Liu Qian had no intention of refusing, Zhao Lin revealed the contents of the WeChat chat between Zhou Shen and Boss Cai.
Liu Qian's expression changed slightly after hearing this, and she immediately glanced at Zhou Shen and Boss Cai.
really.
Both of them were using their mobile phones.
Suddenly, she believed it a little bit.
Although there was no intention to trick Lin Fan in their chat, they did mention that the painting was not worth much.
In other words, Lin Fan made a mistake.
Therefore, she felt it was necessary to remind Lin Fan and let him choose other ancient paintings with higher value.
For nothing else.
She just wanted Zhou Shen to improve his memory and stop trying to trick people.
Think about it this way.
She immediately walked to Lin Fan and whispered in his ear: "Brother Lin, this painting is not good. Look at the others!"
"Huh?" Lin Fan was stunned, "You also know ancient paintings?"
Liu Qian was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "This painting has no value. Since someone else paid for it, why not choose a better one?"
Lin Fan couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
This Liu Qian couldn't even lie. She wanted to lie to him seriously, but she didn't dare to look him in the eyes.
He saw through it immediately.
But he could also see that Liu Qian had good intentions, so he said tactfully: "Don't worry, I won't make any mistakes."
When he said this, he was extremely confident.
Because he had already seen it using the method of "discussing jade and appreciating the past", this painting was not simple.
There is actually a mezzanine inside.
Moreover, the paper used for this interlayer is very rare and even older.
Therefore, he could almost conclude that there was a more precious ancient painting hidden in this Qing Dynasty painting.
But to be truly sure, he still needs a piece of evidence.
So, he turned to look at Boss Cai and asked: "Boss Cai, do you know the author of this painting?"
At this time, Boss Cai had already discussed it with Zhou Shen.
In order for Lin Fan to quickly take away this painting so that he could make a small profit of two thousand, he understood what happened today.
Then he said honestly: "I know that he was a down-and-out scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, but his ancestors were very wealthy. It is said that he was the number one scholar appointed by Kangxi and served as the military minister."
"Yes." Lin Fan nodded, "Then I want this painting!"
