Of course, when he heard that Shopkeeper Wu only offered 80,000 French currency for this item, Kurasuke Ueda also felt that Shopkeeper Wu's price this time was really too low.
As for Huang Tingjian's "Songfeng Pavilion Poems and Postscripts", not to mention 80,000 French currency, or 40,000 US dollars, it is a great value for money, and you will definitely not lose money.
Of course, gold in troubled times and antiques in prosperous times!
In this era, the whole of China is in the quagmire of war, so the prices of these things are naturally getting lower and lower.
But no matter what, 80,000 French currency is indeed a bit low!
At this time, the man with a Peking accent was probably very dissatisfied with the price offered by Shopkeeper Wu, so he stood up immediately, holding the calligraphy copybook in his hand, and prepared to leave.
Of course, before he made this move, he had actually received the eye signals from the people around him, which meant that the prey had taken the bait and he could start the next step of his plan.
But at this time, the boss of Wenhuizhai was a little panicked after seeing the customer's behavior.
After all, today's thing is a big business for him. To be honest, these people in front of him, especially this somewhat elegant man, said they wanted to buy Huang Tingjian's "Songfeng Pavilion Poems" as soon as they entered the door.
At first he thought it was a scammer coming to his door.
After all, there are too many scammers in this era. Of course, there have been endless scammers in their profession since ancient times.
And as far as he knew, Huang Tingjian's "Songfeng Pavilion Poems" was Huang Tingjian's work in his later years. The stipples are thick and vigorous, the strokes are clear, the interspersed bows are arranged vertically and horizontally, and it is his representative work in running script.
So this thing is definitely a rare treasure. To be honest, for so many years in the calligraphy and painting industry, he has only heard about it and never seen it, because this thing has always been valued and treasured by the world. How could it appear in the hands of this man?
Inside!
But when the middle-aged man actually put this calligraphy on the table, he was dumbfounded.
To be honest, he has been immersed in calligraphy and painting all his life, and since Wenhuizhai can dominate this antique street, he naturally has something.
Not to mention other things, let's just say that his eyesight is unmatched.
So after seeing this piece of calligraphy, he understood at a glance that this piece of Huang Tingjian's "Songfeng Pavilion Poems" was definitely authentic, and describing it as a "peerless treasure" was no exaggeration at all.
Of course, to be on the safe side, he checked it carefully for a long time and once again confirmed the value and authenticity of this thing.
The structure, writing style, and composition of "Songfeng Pavilion Poems" are very unique.
Its structure has two characteristics: first, it is tight on the inside and loose on the outside, and second, it has various shapes on the sides.
Throughout the whole article, the composition is strange, ups and downs, and exciting. The words are big or small, long or short, closed or released, hidden or exposed, alternately dense and dense, interspersed with contention, in and out, and extraordinary.
So the things mentioned must be true. Of course, the things are good things, but this middle-aged man is not a good person. He asked for 40,000 US dollars for asking for it, which made him speechless for a while.
Although the value of this calligraphy copybook is certainly worth the price, even at other times, $40,000 would be a bit low.
But now there are wars everywhere, even Shanghai is not peaceful, so the calligraphy and painting business is also in a bit of a slump. If you buy it at this price, there will be no profit.
Besides, this person is not from Shanghai, and judging from his clothes and accent, he should be a descendant of one of the down-and-out aristocrats in Peiping, who would sell this thing now that he is desperate.
Therefore, he naturally started to bargain, but as a result, the price difference between the two parties was too far, so it was impossible to reach an agreement at all.
Of course, Wu Minwen was also a little anxious about this situation. After all, if he didn't get the things, accidents would happen everywhere.
But even so, his many years of business career still allowed him to remain calm and patiently negotiate the price with the seller. However, the other party did not make any concessions, which was a tough nut to crack.
And looking at this person's current state, I'm afraid he doesn't want to sell it anymore.
Suddenly, Wu Minwen became a little anxious!
At this time, Ueda Kurasuke also walked quickly to their side. Seeing the man like this, he felt happy in his heart, and then said with a smile: "Excuse me, we have met, Shopkeeper Wu. We are all
Old customer, sir, I wonder if I can see what's in your hand?"
As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man who was about to leave also paused slightly.
After all, the meaning of Kurasuke Ueda's words was very obvious. He was very interested in the copybook in his hand, so he wanted to see something.
But at this time, Wu Minwen from Wenhuizhai also looked a little embarrassed, because this sudden guest obviously wanted to interfere. How could this be done?
Moreover, Huang Tingjian's "Songfeng Pavilion Poems" is something he is determined to obtain.
Besides, although the middle-aged man is ready to leave, everything is easy to discuss. You, an old guy, actually ran to your own door to snatch the treasure. You really don't know what to say.
So without waiting for the middle-aged man to speak, Wu Minwen said directly and unhappily: "This old gentleman, since he is a regular customer, should know the rules of our industry. Before the business negotiation with this gentleman comes to an end,
, you cannot interfere, please understand."
But at this time, the middle-aged man who had been impatient with Wu Minwen for a long time suddenly became interested.
So after Wu Minwen's words fell, he directly put down the box in his hand, and then said to Wu Minwen: "It turns out to be a rule, so the business between us is over. What's your surname, this old gentleman, is he interested in this thing of mine?"
"
On the side, Kurasuke Ueda was a little hesitant when Wu Minwen said this. After all, he certainly knew the rules in this industry.
But he really liked this thing, so he was worried about the gain and loss, fearing that he would miss this pair of treasures, so he asked.
But now the seller is voluntarily withdrawing from the previous transaction, which is of course the best thing.
So he immediately said with a smile on his face: "This old man's surname is Zuo, and he is particularly good at calligraphy. How about taking a look at it first?"
Although judging from Wu Minwen's attitude, this thing should be true, you still have to go through it yourself.
