After Boss Shao agreed, He Qing walked to the "Pinming Pavilion" across the street and waited patiently. He waited for about a cup of tea when suddenly he saw a familiar figure at the door.
The person who walked into the teahouse was Boss Shao, who had just met He Qing not long ago.
After walking in, Boss Shao looked around, took out his mobile phone and was about to make a call, when He Qing walked up calmly and said hello with a smile: "Boss Shao, are you here?
Please take a seat."
"Is it you?! You want to hit my antique shop?!"
Boss Shao was shocked when he recognized He Qing. He did not expect that the young man who contacted him would be the young man he had just met at "Jianbaozhai".
He Qing said politely: "Boss Shao, please sit down and have a cup of tea first. Let's talk slowly."
"Well, thank you." Boss Shao quickly responded. It didn't matter who the other party was. What was important was that someone was willing to buy his store, so he happily followed He Qing and sat down.
The two of them drank tea and started talking about business.
"This little guy, I haven't asked you your name yet." Boss Shao said with a smile, "Seeing that you are very close to the guy from Jianbaozhai, I guess you are acquaintances and friends, right? To tell you the truth,
Mr. Deng, the shopkeeper of 'Jianbaozhai', and I used to communicate frequently, and we are considered friends, so we have a close relationship. If that shop is transferred to your hands, I will feel relieved, haha.
It can be seen that you are a very caring young man."
Boss Shao is obviously trying to be friendly with others. He is indeed an experienced businessman and speaks tactfully.
"My surname is He, and my last name is Qing." He Qing said, "Yes, we are all our own people. Boss Shao, your store must be doing well, right? Why is it being transferred?"
He asked casually. Although he was asking about the change of hands and takeover of the antique store, his drunkenness was not in the wine. What he wanted was not the antique store. At least he did not have this need at the moment. What attracted him was the
It's the huge ancient painting that's hidden in the opponent's hand.
"Hey, there is something urgent at home!" Boss Shao sighed and said, "Brother, since we are acquaintances, we can't hide it. My store used to be very prosperous, and the location is good.
The decoration is also very good, but since my son had a car accident, I have no time to take care of the store. In addition, I urgently need a large amount of medical expenses, so the better things in the store have been transferred out one after another. In this way, the store
Gradually I can no longer maintain it. If I wasn't in a hurry for money, I wouldn't have gone to Master Long and the others with the painting I had treasured for a long time. You saw this with your own eyes, right?"
He Qing nodded and said, "Well, I know that. Boss Shao, your painting is pretty good, it's a good thing!"
He sighed in admiration intentionally or unintentionally, and the conversation between the two finally turned to the painting.
Although He Qing was not sure whether Boss Shao was making up a story about his complaints, the situation of the painting existed objectively in his eyes. He was only interested in the painting, not the story behind Boss Shao.
"Brother He, you can see it too?!" When He Qing praised his things, Boss Shao suddenly beamed with excitement and said in a somewhat excited tone, "It seems that you are an expert at such a young age!"
He Qing shook his head and said modestly: "I'm not an expert, I'm just new to the industry. Boss Shao, do you think your painting is an authentic work by Tang Bohu?"
"I dare not say whether it is the authentic work of Tang Bohu, but who can be sure that it is not authentic?!" Upon hearing this, Boss Shao's face darkened, and he seemed a little unhappy again.
He Qing smiled nonchalantly and said: "Uncle Long has done an appraisal, and he seems to say it is a high imitation of Tang Bohu, but Tang Bohu's high imitation is also very good, and it is relatively rare!"
"Maybe." Boss Shao said with a look of helplessness, "No matter what, I will not sell it cheaply, even if I am in urgent need of money! Master Long said that the painting is only worth 400,000, I really don't believe it
!”
He Qing asked in a low voice: "Then your lowest price is 600,000? Uncle Long usually makes an offer after seeing it right. He is quite kind in his words and deeds. If it is an ordinary buyer, once he learns that the item may be
Who would pay such a high price for a replica, right?"
He drew out his voice, which seemed to contain deep meaning.
"I know." Boss Shao nodded in agreement, "But this is business. As a seller, of course I also hope that the things can be sold at a better price, and Master Long is also thinking about their store. Of course, after buying something
There must be room for appreciation, otherwise they will not make any profit. I originally wanted to sell that painting for more than one million, but now that I am short of money, I am willing to sell it for 600,000, but this is my bottom line price! I can't
It couldn't be lower! Hey, Brother He, let's not care about that painting. There's no point in talking about it now. Anyway, the deal hasn't been completed. Let's talk about the transfer of the store."
He Qing shook his head solemnly and said: "Oh, no. Boss Shao, since I have invited you here, I have another unkind invitation. I don't know if you are interested."
"Oh, what is it?" Boss Shao asked in surprise.
He Qing replied seriously: "Uncle Long is not willing to increase the price to buy your painting? I think it's good and want to talk to you."
"You...you want to accept my painting "Hunting Pictures of the Ming Dynasty"?!" Boss Shao said in surprise.
"Yes!" He Qing nodded vigorously and said, "I want to play. I wonder if you are willing to give in?"
"Of course I am willing!" Boss Shao replied without hesitation, "With whom should I do business? As long as the price you offer is more suitable, I can introduce you. Brother He, tell me, you can also do business with me.
After reading it, how much do you think it’s worth?”
He Qing immediately looked like he was deep in thought, and after a long time he said: "You said 600,000. This 600,000 is indeed a bit high. I am also a little sophisticated about ancient paintings, I don't think that
It is an imitation of Tang Bohu. I think it should be an imitation of Qiu Ying. The ancient painter Qiu Ying who painted the Ming Dynasty version of "Along the River During Qingming Festival"."
"Qiu Ying's imitation?! Brother He, you...how did you see that?!" Upon hearing He Qing's words, Boss Shao's face suddenly changed, and he looked at He Qing with an uneasy expression.
He Qing smiled and said: "It's based on feeling. Although Tang Bohu and Qiu Ying are classmates and exchange and learn from each other in painting techniques, there are still certain differences in their painting styles. In terms of style alone, Tang Bohu's brushwork is very different.
It is more elegant, while Qiu Ying is more delicate, so his paintings are more upright, maybe this has something to do with their personalities, one is from a more unruly background, while the other is from a very poor family and is conscientious."
He picked it up and explained it in a serious manner. In fact, these were all just his speculations. But the strange thing was that after hearing this, Boss Shao nodded his head, as if he suddenly understood.
"Brother He, your guess is not unreasonable." Boss Shao said solemnly, "If you really want it, I can give you less."
"How much?" He Qing asked.
His goal was achieved, but he didn't expect that Boss Shao's determination would be shaken by what he said casually. He was a buyer, so of course the lower the price, the better.
Just listen to Boss Shao say: "Fifty thousand. Brother He, because you are so sincere, I will give you fifty thousand less! But this is the lowest price. If it is lower, I will lose a lot of money!"
"Five hundred and fifty thousand?" He Qing frowned slightly and said after hesitating for a moment, "Boss Shao, can it be a little less? Five hundred thousand, if you agree, we can make a deal right away. As long as you draw
Once you get it, five hundred thousand will be credited to your account immediately! What do you think?"
"Oops!" Boss Shao shook his head and said, "Brother He, I told you not to go any lower! Five hundred thousand is already a great discount for you. Is such a good painting still not worth this price? No more.
Just a little!”
He Qing said with a straight face: "I already have one hundred thousand more than Uncle Long and the others. One hundred thousand is not a small amount. Boss Shao, you must also know in your heart that if your painting is sold now, you want to sell it for five
It is indeed not easy to buy 100,000 yuan. It is often difficult to set a high price for controversial paintings. You should know why the prices of the same paintings with Tang Bohu's signature can be so different in the market. That is because there are genuine and fake paintings.
If it is not an authentic work, then no matter how good the tracing is, there is still a gap! Boss Shao, I’m offering you 500,000 yuan. Think about it for yourself and give me an answer after you think about it. Will the business be successful?
It’s okay, we can continue to discuss other business in the future, right?”
"Well, that's right!" Boss Shao nodded blankly, then fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he came back to his senses, nodded heavily, and said: "Okay, half a million is half a million! Brother He, I will give you that painting! However, we have to deal with the antique shop.
When are we going to talk? Isn’t it because of that store that you asked me to come?”
He Qing smiled and said, "We'll talk about that later. Let's finish the business we've already negotiated first."
The other party actually agreed to him like that, everything was under his control.
He offered 500,000, which was a very suitable price. If the offer was too high, he would suffer losses. If the offer was too low, the other party would definitely not agree, so he took the middle value, which was 500,000. He originally thought
Boss Shao may not agree to it. If the other party doesn't accept it, then he will have no choice but to increase the price, because he must get the painting.
"That's okay." Boss Shao nodded.
Then Boss Shao responded to He Qing's invitation and went back to pick up the painting. It didn't take long for the other party to bring the "Hunting Picture of the Ming Dynasty Autumn". However, before closing the deal, He Qing checked it carefully to prevent it from being stolen.
After making sure that the painting was the one he had seen before, he transferred the money.
After successfully completing the transaction, He Qing said goodbye to Boss Shao and drove straight to the direction of the rental house.
In less than an hour, He Qing hurried back to the rental house and walked into his bedroom.
After closing the door and unlocking it, He Qing walked to the bed and placed the "Hunting Picture of the Ming Dynasty" that exuded bright red light on the bed and slowly unfolded it. He looked at the picture and pondered it for a long time.
Afterwards, he slapped his forehead and seemed to have thought of something, so he quickly turned around to find some peanut oil.
Then he poured some drops on the lower right corner of the painting. After the oil and water soaked into the painting, He Qing took advantage of the soaked painting paper to carefully rub that area with his fingers. After a while, he peeled it off from above.
A layer of paper, to be precise, it should be a sticker. There are also traces of painting on the piece of paper, but it is just to hide it from others.
As soon as that layer of stickers is removed, the scene in the painting covered by it is immediately revealed.
It was clear that it was a big red seal, and there were several groups in a row. He Qing had already thought that it was not an ordinary seal, but a jade seal used by ancient emperors. It was left behind by several generations of emperors in the Ming Dynasty.
Seal.
It is indeed a unique treasure that is hidden deep and cannot be "leaked"!
