"I have to think about it, the price of this thing is not easy to pay..."

The old man pinched his brows with his hands. In recent years, Tang Bohu's works have few, and the prices are a bit inflated. Although he likes this fan very much, he is unwilling to buy it at a price that is almost auctioned.

"Let's do it, 65,000, if someone is higher than this price, I won't want it..."

After thinking for a while, the old man gave a price. Although the old man didn't believe the purchase price quoted by Manjun, he still kindly added another 15,000 yuan to the price of 50,000 yuan.

"Okay, if my friends over there can't pay this price, this fan will be yours..."

Man Jun was quite satisfied with the old man's offer. After all, he bought this fan for only 20,000 yuan, and made twice the amount after replacing it. Because all the money lost in the car accident was also paid back.

"I probably have to stay for a few days. If you want to sell it, just come to the hospital to find me..." The old man put the fan back into the wooden box and returned it to Man Jun.

"Okay, old man, as long as my friend's offer is not as high as you, I will definitely bring you the things..." Man Jun was very happy, and his depression of hitting someone in a car accident was relieved.

"Xiao Fang, you should recover from your injuries. If the hospital deposit is not enough, call me..." Man Jun said to Fang Yi on the hospital bed, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Thank you, Brother Man..." Fang Yi nodded. In fact, this car accident cannot be blamed entirely on Man Jun. It is already very good for the other party to do this.

Man Jun, who was holding the wooden box, walked to the door of the ward, suddenly turned around, slapped his forehead and said, "Hey, by the way, old man, haven't you asked you for your name yet?"

"My surname is Sun, my name is Sun Lianda. Just call me Lao Sun..." The old man smiled and said his name.

"You'd better call Mr. Sun..." Manjun muttered a few words of the old man's name, and his body, which had already walked out of the door, suddenly stiffened there.

"Sun... Mr. Sun, are you... Sun Lianda from the Jinling Museum?" Man Jun turned around, his face full of astonishment. Even when the old man identified the fan of Tang Bohu just now, Man Jun did not look so surprised.

"Haha, if you don't have a duplicate name, then it's me..."

Mr. Sun laughed cheerfully. He had been dealing with antiques and cultural relics all his life, and was more familiar with those people in the antique business. However, Mr. Sun was generally unwilling to make friends with those antique dealers who were profit-seeking. At most, he would just help them to strengthen their objects.

Mr. Sun was not very disgusted with the middle-aged man surnamed Man in front of him. It is rare for antique dealers who have always been cunning and profitable to be like Man Jun after hitting someone. Otherwise, Mr. Sun would not even be able to say his own name.

"Oh, I really don't know Mount Tai..."

Hearing Mr. Sun's report leaving the house, Man Jun, who walked out of the ward, quickly turned back, rushed to the bedside in a few steps, held Mr. Sun's hand tightly, and said, "I have been revered to Mr. Sun for a long time, but I have no chance to pay my respects to him. It's a coincidence that I can meet you, Mr. Sun..."

Unlike Fang Yi and others who were inexplicably nearby, as an antique industry practitioner, Man Jun was so well-known to Mr. Sun’s name. Not only him, but also around the country, as long as people in the antique circle, most of them have heard of the name Sun Lianda.

While shaking hands, the information about the old man in front of him appeared in Manjun's mind.

Sun Lianda, former director of the Jinling Museum, should be 65 years old now. Sun Lianda came from a scholarly family. He was influenced by his father since he was a child and was exposed to calligraphy, painting and ceramics. He has a profound literary literacy and historical knowledge.

Sun Lianda worked in the Jinling Museum all his life. In the early 1980s, he took over as the director of the Jinling Museum. He had just retired from the position of museum director a few years ago. But it was only after he stepped down that Sun Lianda's name really became famous in the antiques business.

When he was working in a museum, the antiques identified by Sun Lianda were called cultural relics, and he rarely or never identified antiques for outsiders. Therefore, although his reputation in the domestic cultural relics industry is very high, not many people in the antique circle know who Sun Lianda is.

However, after retirement, Sun Lianda had more contact with the outside world. He was rehired to work at the Palace Museum in Beijing for two years, and became one of the members of the domestic cultural relics appraisal committee, and participated in the identification of cultural relics recovered from abroad several times.

During a controversial cultural relics appraisal work, Sun Lianda concluded that a calligraphy and painting work by Dong Qichang in the Ming Dynasty was a copycat in the late Qing Dynasty, and had a dispute with a well-known domestic calligrapher and painter who was on the appraisal committee at that time.

When both parties believed that they were right, the working group finally concluded through the identification method of carbon 14 dating that the rice paper used in this painting did not match the age of Dong Qichang, which directly proved that Sun Lianda's identification results were correct.

After this incident, Sun Lianda suddenly became famous in the domestic antique appraisal circle and was considered a representative figure in contemporary calligraphy and painting appraisal. Since he rarely helped private appraisal and issued certificates, he has a very good reputation in the circle. The appraisal certificate he issued is hard to find.

In recent years, Sun Lianda felt that he was not energetic, so he quit his daily appraisal work of the committee and returned to Jinling from the capital. However, he rarely appeared in antique circle gatherings. Therefore, although Man Jun had heard of Mr. Sun's name, he had never seen Sun Lianda.

"Old Sun, I'm going to make the decision on this fan. I'll give you 50,000 yuan..."

After learning that the old man in front of him was Sun Lianda, Manjun placed the wooden box in his hand on the head of Mr. Sun's bed and said sincerely: "This fan can attract Mr. Sun. This is my blessing for me. If Mr. Sun doesn't want it, he will look down on me, Xiaoman..."

Seeing that Man Jun just heard the old man's name, he lowered the other party's offer by 15,000 yuan. The fat man couldn't help but touch Fang Yi's arm and whispered: "Fang Yi, do you think this bald head is broken?"

"Your brain is broken. Boss Man must have his ideas for doing this..." Fang Yi replied in a low voice. Although he was a little puzzled, he could see that this old man named Sun Lianda should have a high status in Boss Man's business.

"Don't interfere, Xiaoman, you are a businessman. Don't ruin your reputation. Let's show it to others first..."

Sun Lianda did not hear Fang Yi and Fatty, but smiled and waved his hand, saying to Man Jun: "The market price of this fan is indeed around 50,000 yuan. I quote you 65,000 yuan, which is about one-third of the upward premium. If someone pays the higher price, it should naturally be obtained by others..."

"What a two weird guy. One wants to sell it at a cheap price, and the other is not willing to buy it at a cheap price?" Sun Lianda and Boss Man's conversation made Sanpao next to him speechless.

"Okay, Mr. Sun, I'll listen to you. If my friend can't offer this price, I'll come back and sell it to you..."

Although Man Jun wanted to sell this painting to Sun Lianda for a cheap price, he had also heard of Sun Lianda's temper and knew that the old man in front of him was very decent, so he probably wouldn't have taken advantage of it.

Seeing that he could not change Mr. Sun's thoughts, Manjun chatted with Mr. Sun for a while in the ward before he reluctantly said goodbye. However, he made up his mind to stay in this ward these days and have more contact with Mr. Sun.

"Old Sun, he sells you cheaply, why don't you?" After Manjun walked out of the ward, the fat man screamed in confusion. He suddenly got 15,000 yuan, which was equivalent to the salary of the security guard for a year and a half without food or drink.

"Little fat man, this cheap is not easy to get... "Seeing the fat man with regretful look, Old Sun couldn't help but laugh and said, "If you get a small advantage, you will suffer a big loss sometimes. You young people must understand this principle..."

"Old Mr. Sun, I understand what you said. Is that person asking you for help?" Fang Yi, who was lying on the hospital bed, said.

"Well, you see?"

Sun Lianda looked at Fang Yi with approval and said, "Yes, he asked me for it. If I buy this fan of Tang Bohu at a cheap price, it would be like owing him a favor. In the future, he would have to come to me for identification. He had a short hand. Do you think I would help or not?"

What Sun Lianda said was actually what Man Jun thought. He could have a relationship with a big-name figure in the circle like Sun Lianda. Not to mention giving him 10,000 or 20,000 yuan to give this fan for free, Man Jun was willing to give it to the other party.

You should know that when doing antique business, the chance of buying fakes and taking medicine is very high. Sometimes, if an item worth hundreds of thousands of yuan is cut, you will lose all your money and suffer heavy losses.

But if there is an expert-level person who helps with his hands when buying antiques, the result will be different. If Man Jun can get along well with Sun Lianda, it will be equivalent to getting a gold medal in the industry, and making money will naturally be invincible.

However, Sun Lianda rarely gives private appraisal items. In the past, some people used famous calligraphy and paintings to ask Sun Lianda for appraisal, and the appraisal fee alone offered a price of 500,000 yuan. However, Sun Lianda was unmoved at all and was unwilling to look at things, let alone issue an appraisal certificate.

Of course, there are exceptions in everything. Living in the mundane world, human favors are inevitable. Even Sun Lianda owe favors, so he also issued an appraisal certificate to his private person, but the number is very small.
