It's a picture.
It looks like a very ordinary traditional Chinese painting, hanging in the middle of a group of calligraphy and paintings.
The brushwork is not top-notch, and the painting is not so amazing, let alone by a celebrity.
It's a very common painting. Almost all the people who enter the shop sweep through it, and no one looks at it more.
Because it's so humble.
It was a beautiful woman in ancient costume, leaning against the door and looking into the distance.
Outside the gate, a hundred trees withered and leaves fell all over the ground.
It looks like a depression.
Further away, there are long smoke dancing in the air, that is beacon smoke.
There should be war there.
The war is raging, the man is on the March, and the daughter is looking forward to her husband's return.
The whole painting is full of a sense of desolation.
Lin Chengfei was attracted by the woman's eyes in the painting.
There's hope, there's sadness, and there's even more helplessness about this hateful reality.
"Can you take that picture down for me to see?" Lin Chengfei pointed to the painting and said to the waiter.
"Yes, sir." The waiter soon put the picture in front of Lin Chengfei.
"Sir, it's really a good sight. Although this painting is not very brilliant, it's a treasure of some years. It has a profound artistic conception and is very suitable for collection at home." The waiter gushed: "moreover, our store happens to have an anniversary event on Friday. If you buy it now, you can get a 20% discount."
"How much is it?"
"Only a hundred thousand dollars!" The waiter said, buy a pair quickly. If you don't buy it, you will be a fool. If you don't take advantage of it, you will be a son of a bitch.
"Only a hundred thousand?" Lin Chengfei said with a smile: "then tell me, when was this painting made? Who did it come from? "
The waiter is looking at Lin Chengfei's youth, and wants to quickly clear the goods that have been stored for a long time and no one cares about.
She did not know the age or the author of the painting.
The boss of the store once asked experts to be firm. Unfortunately, even experts can't give accurate answers In fact, to put it bluntly, this painting is not rare and is not worth much money.
But as a waiter, they have no other skills. It's their basic skill to cheat customers.
The waiter opened his mouth and said, "this painting comes from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It was made by the number one scholar in the five years of Qianlong period. It's absolutely cheap."
"What was the name of the number one scholar that year?" Lin Chengfei asked.
"This..." The waiter can't answer it. This question can't be answered casually.
If she says a name casually and Lin Chengfei checks on the Internet casually, she will be able to expose her lies.
"I forgot." The waiter was embarrassed and said, "but I'm sure this is definitely the work of the number one scholar in the fifth year of Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty."
Lin Chengfei said with a faint smile: "I know the rules in your industry. Every painting and calligraphy has a reserve price. The higher the selling price, the higher the reserve price will give you a high commission You can tell me directly what the reserve price is, and I won't make you embarrassed. I'll give you five thousand yuan more. "
"I'm talking about the lowest price, sir." The waiter lowered his head and said that he was not very confident.
I thought this guy was a stupid sheep, but I didn't know the rules of their business so clearly.
"Forget it. I'll see something else." Lin Chengfei is about to leave. Tqr1
"Hey, sir, wait a minute." "I think you really like this painting, too. Well, I'll give you the lowest price in my boss's heart, 80000..."
Lin Chengfei has to go.
"If you have something to say, you can go as you like." The waiter said helplessly: "50000, this time it's true."
Lin Chengfei didn't look back.
"Thirty thousand!" The waiter is going crazy. This time, it's really the bottom price: "that's the price. If you want it, I'll wrap it for you. If you don't want it, I can't help it I've never seen a customer like you who can lower the price. "
Lin Chengfei turned and came back: "I'll keep my word. I'll bid 35000."
The waiter looked at him in utter silence.
Five thousand more than the reserve price, how much commission can she draw?
A thousand bucks.
With the rolled picture scroll, Lin Chengfei goes to the counter to pay, and then continues to stroll here.
He saw that it was unusual, but he didn't plan to study it here. He went home to have a good look at what was special about it.
After a tour, I didn't see anything I was interested in. Just as I was about to leave, suddenly, a man came to the door in a hurry.
After entering the gate, the man went straight to the counter where Lin Chengfei had just bought the painting. As he walked, he called out: "Xiao Ding, Xiao Ding, that What about the painting that hasn't been sold? where? Give it to me quickly
When he came to the counter breathlessly, he heard Xiaoding say timidly: "boss That painting has been sold Just sold it. "
"Ah? Sold out? " Boss a Leng, immediately after a rage: "who let you sell?"Xiao Ding said bitterly, "people want I can't say not to sell. "
Her eyes Yu Guang just saw that Lin Chengfei was going to the door. She quickly pointed to his back and said, "boss, the painting was sold to that gentleman."
The boss didn't have time to scold her any more, so he turned to catch up with Lin Chengfei and said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Xiang Kun, the boss of this Fengyun calligraphy and painting shop."
Then he took out a business card and handed it to Lin Chengfei.
Lin Chengfei took the card, looked at it, put it in his pocket and asked, "what's the matter?"
Xiang Kun pointed to the painting in Lin Chengfei's hand and said, "this painting is not sold in our shop. The money will be returned completely. Please return the painting to me."
When Lin Chengfei heard this, he shook his head and said, "you open a shop to do business, I buy it and you sell it. Now that I have paid the money, the things are mine. If you can't take them back, I will send them back to you obediently."
Xiang Kun was a little impatient: "to be honest, this painting is of great use to me. I have said that the money will be refunded to you. What else do you want?"
"If it's of great use to you, I'll refund it?" Lin Chengfei said in a cold voice: "to the boss, is it a bit hard for people?"
"Let you back, you back on the line, which so much nonsense." Xiang Kun completely lost his patience and yelled.
"If I say no, what can you do with me?" Lin Chengfei looks cold.
If Xiang Kun talks with him kindly, and this painting is really his favorite, Lin Chengfei may not return it to him.
But what's his attitude now?
Whirring and whirring?
Threats?
This is what Lin Chengfei hates most.
"Not back?" Xiang Kun said maliciously: "it's not up to you. Today, you have to retire. If you don't, you have to retire. Boy, it's your own shame. No wonder I'm cruel."
With a wave of his hand, he pointed to Lin Chengfei and said, "come on, this man has stolen the valuables in the shop. Take him down quickly!"
