Chapter 575

At this time, Duan Kun was shocked and didn't know what to say. He was still tired of five million, like a dead dog. Others could pick up tens of millions of leaks. How could the gap between people be so big!

When he came back to his senses, he quickly asked with a smile: "brother Chen, is there any secret to pick up the leak?"

"What's the knack for picking up leaks?" Liu Sizhe scoffed and said, "brother Chen has built a foundation since he was a child. Later, he practiced in the capital for five years, so that he can reach his present level."

On hearing this, Duan Kun said dejectedly, "isn't it going to take more than ten years? Forget it

Liu Sizhe said with a smile: "I know you don't have the patience! By the way, brother Chen, can we have a look at this statue of Guanyin? "

Chuchen said with a smile, "it can be, but you can't appreciate our present environment."

"Hey! It's not easy to find a place. One of my elders' shops is nearby. Let's go and sit down for a while. Just in time, I want to ask if my order has arrived... "

The antique shop Duan Kun said was not far away. It took two or three minutes to get there. On the way, Duan Kun also introduced his elder to the three.

Duan Ning, the elder of Duan Kun's family, is a distant relative of Duan Kun's family. However, the relationship between the two families is quite good because they often go back and forth during the Spring Festival.

"Uncle Ning, I'm coming!"

Duan Kun just walked to the door of the antique shop and started shouting.

Then, a chubby middle-aged man came, who should be Duan Ning, the owner of the antique shop. He walked up to the four and said with a smile, "it's Xiaokun. Originally I wanted to call you, but I didn't expect you to come!"

Listen to him say so, Duan Kun eyes is a bright, urgent asked: "Ning uncle, is something I want news?"

"Yes Duan Ning nodded with a smile and said, "let's talk about this later. Would you like to introduce these three friends to me first?"

"Look at me!"

Duan Kun patted his forehead and gave a brief introduction to both sides. Then he pointed to Chu Chen and said, "Uncle Ning, my friend is Liu's disciple and your colleague."

Duan Ning was very surprised when he heard the speech. Then he suddenly lowered his head and pondered for a while. Then he raised his head and said, "are you Chu Chen, teacher Chu, who participated in XX collection a few days ago?"

Chu Chen quickly waved his hand: "teacher Chu, I'm a friend of Duan Kun. Just call me Xiao Chu!"

Duan Ning hesitated and said, "how interesting is this..."

Duan Kun said: "Uncle Ning, brother Chen is my friend. You call him a teacher. It's not too shengfen!"

Chu Chen nodded and agreed.

"Then I'll be more respectful than obedient. Let's go first..."

Duan Ning welcomed the four people into the reception room inside and asked the man to serve tea for everyone.

After a while of greetings, Duan Kun couldn't wait to ask, "Uncle Ning, when will the things I want arrive?"

Duan Ning replied: "it's estimated that the seller will arrive in half an hour, but don't hold too much hope for this. What the seller brings may be a fake."

Duan Kun was surprised and said, "ah! Ning Shu, how do you know that the other party will take the fake. "

"Because the seller is famous for selling fake goods in Shudu..."

It turns out that the seller is called laocai in his trade. Apart from bringing talent in his name, the most important reason for his nickname is that he has the meaning of jackal. In addition, people in the antique trade nearby all say that he is greedy like jackal.

Lao Cai is famous for his bad conduct in the neighborhood. He is not afraid of boiling water and other people's knowledge. However, this man is very good at catching the weakness of the buyer, so that many people even know that he has bad conduct and many people have been cheated. Even Duan Ning has been cheated by him once.

Duan Ning didn't open an antique shop at that time. Once, he bought a bronze gilded Buddha statue of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The meat bun of the Buddha statue was a high ball bun, retaining some of the Taihe period's heritage. But the shape of the face becomes longer, the eyes are like the moon, the eyebrows are half arc, the wings of the nose are plump, the corners of the mouth are upturned, with a slight smile and a gentle expression.

The most distinctive feature is the pattern decoration of the statue. Although there are only Buddhist branches inside, the cassock is crossed in front of the chest like silk, especially at the shoulder, forming a sharp angle shape. The long part behind is hanging on both sides, which is obviously more decorative than realistic. The pedestal is a double-layer type with a lotus seat on the hollowed out pedestal.

Duan Ning was sure to be a treasure of such a good thing, but at that time, he was short of money and had nothing good on hand except this stone Buddha niche, so he wanted to transfer it. Of course, the price was certainly high.

Duan Ning and laocai also know each other. Although he also knows laocai's bad character, laocai has an ability. He can talk about everything. Duan Ning thinks that he can learn some experience from listening to laocai's talk. In addition, he feels more restrained and is not afraid to associate with laocai.

One afternoon, the old man came to Duan Ning's home and talked about all kinds of anecdotes. Listen to Duan Ning is dizzy, repeatedly praise. On the spur of the moment, Duan Ning took out the bronze Buddha he bought and said, "how about my Buddha?"The old man looked at it carefully and said casually, "well, it's still good. It's just that the face is a little worse. You see, the nose is big and the eyes are deep. It looks like a foreigner, not a Buddha statue in our country. The price is a little lower."

At that time, Duan Ning didn't know that it was the unique style of Buddha statues from Yanchang period to Zhengguang period of the Northern Wei Dynasty. He agreed with laocai's words, so he asked, "how much money can you give?"

"How much do you want?"

"Fifty thousand!"

"Fifty thousand is too expensive. You can't even sell it in our country, let alone in foreign countries. I'll give you 20000. I'm afraid it's a high price So the old man said.

"20000 can't be sold. If you don't watch the auction, such a bronze Buddha can get 100000?"

"Can you compete with the auction? We sell it below without any taxes or fees. How could it be so expensive? "

But anyway, Duan Ning is biting the price.

So, the old man turned his eyes, got up and said, "well, you sell it first. To tell you the truth, no one offers more than me. Sooner or later, you have to sell it to me." Then he left.

Out of Duan Ning's home, Lao Cai made five phone calls in a row, then breathed out a breath and went home to drink a small wine in a happy mood.

The next day, Duan Ning's family came to buy a bronze Buddha. He took it out for a long time and shook his head. When he left, he gave a price of 15000 yuan!

On the third day, another man came to duanning's house. When he saw the bronze Buddha, he cried out, "does this thing cost 50000?"? I'll work hard and give you ten thousand!

The fourth day

The fifth day

Day six

On the seventh day, Duan Ning couldn't bear to eat. At that time, he was still young. He didn't think of such twists and turns. He just felt that the price of the bronze Buddha was less and less every day. He regretted that he didn't sell it to laocai at that time, so he couldn't help picking up the phone: "laocai, let's sell that bronze Buddha to you."

"You can sell it to me, but I can only give you eighteen thousand."

Duan Ning thought about it. He was really afraid of the current price. He had to bite his teeth and agree: "eighteen thousand is eighteen thousand."

At noon, in the pub, the old man raised his glass and faced five people: "thank you for your help, thank you very much, please..."

Hearing this, Duan Kun asked curiously: "I said uncle Ning, how do you know this so clearly? Is Lao Cai going to tell you this in front of you?"

Duan Ning said with a smile: "that's definitely impossible. Although laocai is a jerk, he is not as jerky as that. He asked five people to help him at the beginning. One of them later had some business relations with me. Once we had a drink together, he told me about it. Then I knew that he had changed hands on the Buddha statue and made a hundred thousand. "

"Isn't it, uncle Ning? You still do business with such a guy?" Duan Kun said with some displeasure.

"If it was in the past, I would not do business with him, but now this guy is in trouble and short of money. During this period, he is becoming afraid of his collections over the years, so..." Duan Ning smile, the meaning of the words is self-evident.

"Eh, why is this guy in trouble? Is it karma?" Duan Kun is curious.

Duan Ning said with a smile: "almost. It's true that liars always cheat. Last week, laocai suddenly began to sell off his collection. At first, everyone didn't want to take over. They were afraid that laocai would cheat again. But later, I heard from a friend of laocai that laocai was cheated by others. What's more, it was a tragedy. Not only the house was mortgaged, but also he owed a lot of debt, That's why he sold the collection to raise money. "

"Uncle Ning, what is it?" Duan Kun asked again.

"I don't know." Duan Ning spread out his hand: "the old man didn't tell me how he was cheated. Although I was curious, I didn't want to find out about it. Anyway, the previous losses had been earned from the old man."

"Oh! Uncle Ning, it seems that you have taken advantage of the fire? " Duan Kun laughs.

Duan Ning said with a smile: "you boy, what's taking advantage of the fire? This is my normal business relationship! However, Lao Cai is still not very good. I believe him. A few days ago, some people said that what Lao Cai sold him was a fake. So when we trade later, we have to polish our eyes. Don't let him make any mistakes. "

Everyone nodded, then Duan Kun said with a smile: "Uncle Ning, we have a strong lineup now. We have not only experts like you, but also brother Chen, the proud disciple of Liu. I don't believe that old man is so powerful that he can escape our eyes."

Duan Ning nodded with a smile: "this is the same, but what we should pay attention to is still to pay attention to..."
