Chapter 6 The Ugly Bowl
After hearing this, Lao Zhang pondered for a while. Under the colorful neon lights on the overpass, his face looked extremely distorted, as if he was disappointed, angry, and hesitant.
Shen Wenxin said intimately: "Did I say something wrong? It touched Lao Zhang's fragile nerve?"
Perhaps the sensitive old Zhang thought that the main intention of Shen Wenxin was so kind and having chatted with him for so long was to have this bowl. After a little emotion, Old Zhang also understood that no profit would be enough to get up early. Since Shen Wenxin valued this bowl, he also picked it up by a river in the north. Although he had some knowledge and experience, he did not understand professional knowledge such as treasure appraisal and felt that it was definitely not worth much money.
In the past, when he was in a difficult situation, he planned to buy a scrap station, but when he went out to beg for this bowl, he was a little reluctant to let it go, so he kept it in his hands.
He didn't know the specific price. Old Zhang's tone changed slightly. He sat on the pulley and lazily stretched out five fingers.
Shen Wenxin, who was a teacher in the past, was still knowledgeable enough to tell the meaning of his name, was not comparable to ordinary illiterate people. It was a bit unrealistic to buy it at a too low price.
"Five hundred?" Shen Wenxin tried to say a number, but Lao Zhang shook his head, then said, "Open the skylight and say something bright. Since you have a crush on this bowl, you should know that this is an old object. Although I don't know what specific dynasty it is, it must be a cultural relic. I'm not wrong with this?" Lao Zhang's ability to observe people is still very good. Knowing that Shen Wenxin would have such a lot of effort, this bowl must be of some name.
As the lowest level of society, money is an important way to change its quality of life. At critical moments, Lao Zhang still chooses a point of reality.
"You are right. This bowl should be a good object. I can't figure out what year it is. I just look at the shape, it should be a bowl used by ancient monks. My mother is a Buddhist enthusiast, so I intend to buy it. Mr., please give me a real price." In fact, Shen Wenxin's initial conversation or showing goodwill was not useless, at least it avoided Lao Zhang's big mouth.
If you ask if this bowl is sold as soon as you come up, it goes without saying that it would be strange if Lao Zhang didn’t offer a sky-high price. An unacceptable price would make this transaction fall into a bottleneck.
However, Shen Wenxin's approach just made Lao Zhang regain his dignity, so the price is within an acceptable range, and everyone is happy. Lao Zhang's life can be improved, and Shen Wenxin can also find a bargain.
"Twenty thousand!" Old Zhang's tone was firm. It should be normal for tens of thousands of old objects to be considered as if they were not sure of the authenticity. Shen Wenxin had to bear great risks, so it was a very test of people's courage.
However, the result of touching the treasure before was the seventh grade, which made Shen Wenxin's concerns disappear in an instant. Twenty thousand was still within the scope of his affordability. He worked in Shangsi's civil servant office for more than a year and has been working diligently. With salary plus allowances, bonuses, etc., his income is quite considerable. For example, once he discovered a folk pottery figurine designated as a national third-level cultural relic. It was discovered about half a year ago, and he accidentally found a mound of soil and received a bonus of 10,000. Now it is collected in Shangsi's museum. After all, he is engaged in cultural relics protection, so the Cultural Administration Office will apply for rewards in this regard from the superior department. On the one hand, it is to give the people a signal that there is a bonus for actively paying national cultural relics, and there is a certificate, which is a glorious thing; on the second hand, it is to encourage cultural relics protectors to work hard.
Zhao Dahai's application for the implementation of this money played a big role. With the salary over the past year, the bank card was about 20,000 yuan. It was just enough to buy this bowl of unknown dynasty after emptied the money.
To be honest, this more than 20,000 is all the savings from Shen Wenxin since he started working. He saves money from all entertainment projects and preferences. Young people can save 20,000 yuan a year, which is extremely difficult for many college students who have just joined society.
"Well, do you want cash or transfer money?"
"cash."
"Well, sir, it's not very safe here. I'll take you to my friend's shop."
Then Shen Wenxin took Lao Zhangtou on a pulley truck to an alley in the pedestrian street in the city center, and the "Audio Fashionable Products Digital Store" in Jinyu Lane.
Yi Xiaojun, who was playing with computers at the cashier, saw that Shen Wenxin had brought all the beggars from the sky bridge back, and frowned and asked, "Mosquito, what do you mean?"
Business people naturally don’t want to see beggars. This is to drive away customers who are interested in purchasing. Although few people come to visit this time period, it still makes Yi Xiaojun extremely dissatisfied.
"Monk, are we brothers?"
“Is that more than that?”
"Okay, I have a deal with this old man to complete. I choose here for the time being. You know that it is not safe outside. I am afraid that the old man will be hurt. You can pour a cup of tea to the old man and give it to me." After Shen Wenxin finished speaking, he went to the nearby ATM without waiting for Yi Xiaojun to react.
The bank counter is not open at night, and the maximum ATM is 20,000 per day, so Shen Wenxin has to withdraw money many times. If he is not lucky, he has to take a few more steps to change the ATM.
It took about half an hour to get the 20,000 yuan. When I came, I took a black plastic bag in Yi Xiaojun's shop and walked all the way, for fear that Lao Zhang would leave and lose a chance to find a bargain.
According to Shen Wenxin's estimate, the price of the ninth-grade Daoguang blue and white porcelain is around 50,000 yuan, so it must be about hundreds of thousands compared to the second-grade bowl, right? When you meet a seller who is eye-catching, you may be able to pay more than one million yuan. The prices of antiques in the market are unpredictable and completely unpredictable.
Yi Xiaojun is a good friend. He served him well in accordance with Shen Wenxin's request, poured a cup of Tieguanyin and some snacks to entertain Lao Zhang. Although he had a bitter face, he did not scold Lao Zhang, as if he was ignoring him.
He was still wondering what kind of deal the two would have?
Shen Wenxin came back and was holding a black plastic bag full of stuff. At this time, Yi Xiaojun had the opportunity to inquire about the specific situation of the transaction.
