Chapter 226 Lotus Lord(2/3)
When Gao Bin saw that the things were indeed placed firmly, he pulled Qi Yu forward to take a closer look.
Placed on the table is a celadon lotus statue~!
Gao Bin's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm on the surface.
At this moment, the father and son were staring at Gao Bin and the others without blinking.
Gao Bin is in the auction business, and Qi Yu is in the club, and they both deal with antiques, so sorting and collecting relevant information is what they do most every day.
Gao Bin was very impressed by the lotus statue in front of him.
Just a few days ago, he was bored when he was going to the bathroom at home. He picked up a magazine and flipped through it. There was an article introducing a catalog of auctions.
Gao Bin was very sure that the object in front of him was very similar to a pair of lotus statues in the catalog that were priced at HK$5 million.
At that time, Gao Bin took a serious look at the pair of lotus statues because they were elegant in shape. The lotus pattern used for decoration was cleverly integrated with the shape of the vessel. The glaze was green and even, and it looked majestic and thick, like ice and jade.
At this time, the old man couldn't help but get close to Gao Bin and said:
"Boss? How about it? You are knowledgeable, you should know what this is, right? Authentic Yue kiln celadon, an old thing, a good thing passed down from ancestors."
Feeling something strange on the inside of his arm, Gao Bin turned his head and glanced at Qi Yu.
She was shaking her head at herself, but the hand holding her arm was holding on tighter and tighter.
Gao Bin knew what she meant. The thing was fake, but it was worth taking!
However, Gao Bin remained expressionless and snorted:
"Is there anything else?"
The old man quickly said:
"No, we are not specialized in this business."
Gao Bin sneered and turned slightly to leave.
When the old man saw this, he hurriedly said:
"Well, there is indeed something else, but it's just not in good condition and I can't get it."
Gao Bin disapproved, slightly angry:
"Take it out and have a look."
The old man no longer hesitated, bent down and pouted, and took out a scroll from under the bed, wrapped in plastic paper.
Gao Bin stared at the other party's movements without blinking, and saw the old man opening the package and spreading it on the bed very carefully.
Gao Bin went over to look at it. It was a couplet. The silk frame was very old, and the leak marks didn't look like they were made.
The paper looks like it has been baptized by time and has turned gray naturally. It does not look like it was dyed by tea or smoked. It should be the original frame.
The first couplet is: "How can everything be as perfect as one wishes".
The second line is: "I hope that my heart will be clear."
The signature is: Shi'an.
Seeing that Gao Bin had finished reading, the old man and his son slowly rolled up the couplet and put it on the bed.
Then the old man kept a close eye on Gao Bin:
"It's 100% authentic. The author is an accomplished Shaolin monk from our side. Legend has it that he is a martial arts master."
Gao Bin didn't answer, pointed at the couplet and the Lotus Buddha, and said:
"Make a price."
The father and son looked at each other, and the father slapped him:
"I have to get this number no matter what."
After saying that, he stared straight at Gao Bin.
"How dare you open your teeth!"
Gao Bin and Qi Yu had a tacit understanding, so they turned around and left.
"Don't worry, boss, I'm asking for a lot of money and I'll pay you back. What price do you think is appropriate?"
Gao Bin half-turned around:
"Couplet plus celadon lotus statue, 2000!"
The young man sneered:
"Are you kidding? 2,000 is not enough for the ticket."
The old man gave his son a hand and said with a charming smile:
"The boss knows he is an expert at first glance. I don't know how to write ink. The price is 8,000."
Gao Bin shook his head:
"Do you think we look like fools?"
"6000?"
Gao Bin didn't want to waste more time here, so he said directly:
"I'll give you a fixed price, 3,000. Can you please give me a nice word?"
The father and son looked at each other again, gritting their teeth and stamping their feet:
"Deal, I'll pack it for you."
Gao Bin's expression remained unchanged, he lowered his head and whispered in Qi Yu's ear:
"Go to the car and get the money from the glove box."
Qi Yu's ears were slightly red, and he couldn't help but said:
"Don't be polite to me, I have it in my bag."
After saying that, he opened his backpack, took out his wallet, and took out a stack of banknotes.
"Exactly 3000, please order it."
She handed it to the old man with one hand, but the son who was her son, maybe he had never seen such a white and slender hand before, or something else, he swallowed and went up to grab it.
Seeing him 'accidentally' touching Qi Yu's finger, Gao Bin shouted angrily:
"Don't push yourself too far!"
The son subconsciously retracted his hand, lowering his head and not daring to look into Gao Bin's eyes.
It’s still the old man who is there to laugh and smooth things over:
"The child has never seen the world, so the boss should not be as knowledgeable as him."
Qi Yu was not afraid. The hand holding the money was very steady and did not move, but his smile was a little contemptuous:
"Okay, hurry up."
The old man was still worried. After taking the money, he took a sip on the big female finger, counted the money one by one, and finally showed a big yellow tooth:
"3000 is just right, look at this thing..."
Gao Bin waved his hand:
"Don't you see if this money is genuine?"
"Boss, stop joking."
"I'm not kidding. After a while, no one will know anyone else when we walk out of this door. If you feel that you have money problems, you will have to bear it yourself."
The old man didn't know whether he believed it or was frightened. He quickly looked at the sunlight one by one and finally confirmed:
"It's true, thank you boss."
"Thank you, boss lady. Okay, help me deliver the things to the car."
The guest house was not far from the parking lot. The old man asked the young man to hold the box and send it to them, while he continued to count money and play in the house.
Arriving at the parking lot, Gao Bin took out his car key and pressed it. The trunk of the Mercedes-Benz e opened with a beep, and then he pressed it with his finger.
The boy put the box in the trunk.
After he put it away, Gao Bin pressed the car key again, and the trunk slowly closed.
The young man stood by the car, looked at the car and then at Qi Yu, wondering what he was thinking.
Gao Bin put the car keys in Qi Yu's hand and asked her to get in the car first, but Qi Yu didn't move. She gave him a look and said softly:
"I'm with you."
Obviously, the two of them thought of something together.
Let the young man lead the way, and the three of them return to the guest house room.
Seeing them go and come back, the old man was confused:
"Boss, what are you doing?"
To be continued...
