Chapter 715 The preciousness of cultural relics is no longer worth it
Zhai Chuan'an could hear the meaning of Wen Shuo's previous sentence "buried" was nothing more than a family like him, with such an ancient character from the Ming Dynasty, which was really not a perfect match for his family.
If anyone said this under any circumstances, the master would definitely feel angry.
But at this moment, Zhai Chuan'an was not angry at all.
In addition to Wen Shuo's name first and saying "unpleasant" words, more of them were Wen Shuo's previous words and promises, which made Zhai Chuan'an feel that this very rich little brother from the capital is a real person!
Wen Shuo's last sentence made Zhai Chuan'an shudder.
today……
The performance of his brothers has already made Zhai Chuan'an quite depressed and angry. If he had not been honest and righteous, and had been appreciated and admired by Boss Wen, and was willing to pay more than 50,000 yuan, wouldn't he have to take out a large part of the 50,000 yuan that should have belonged to him to supplement his brothers?!
If you suffer losses and make up for it, you can get a good result.
But if you listen to the words of those brothers and nephews, look at their expressions, it seems that everything is what they deserve. If you don’t give it to them, you will be in a loss!
So no one knows that the letter hanging in the main hall is a valuable antique. If it is known by their brothers and nephews, they may suddenly disappear out of thin air one day.
"Brother, as the saying goes, a gentleman does not win the favor of others." Wen Shuo scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "But I really like that character. If you are willing to take action, you can offer a price!"
"Ah?" Zhai Chuan'an was stunned for a moment, then shook his head apologetically and said, "This is not OK, it is something passed down from ancestors, this..."
Wen Shuo said seriously: "Brother, I don't sell it in business to make money, but I like it myself! It's much safer to keep it in my place than at your home, and it's more valuable. If it really doesn't work, I'll put it in Ma Ye's museum. Ma Ye opens a museum by himself, which is formal! Let's put it in this way, when are you pronounced this word? You can go to my place to see it at any time!"
Zhai Chuan'an was a little confused.
He scratched his head, racked his brains to figure out what Wen Shuo said, and then thought about whether this character could be sold to Wen Shuo?
He refused to sell it, but subconsciously felt that this thing was passed down from his ancestors. If he sold it, it would be the behavior of a prodigal son. But Wen Shuo was right. What conditions did his family have to be worthy of such a character? In the future, he would have to worry about being broken or stolen...
Besides, Wen Shuo bought this character not to go back and forth, but to collect it yourself!
I am also allowed to visit the capital at any time in the future!
It seems that there is nothing else except to collect this calligraphy in a better and more suitable place, and to get some money by yourself.
You can go and see it anytime!
Wen Shuo will not sell it either.
Zhai Chuan'an felt that if he did this, the character seemed to be no different from his own, and the character was safe and worthy of his ancestors. He did not know that this psychological cognition originated from Wen Shuo's psychological suggestion, verbal induction, coupled with a selfish greed.
"Then, Boss Wen, you..." Zhai Chuan'an's psychological defense completely disappeared, and he simply asked for money: "What price can he pay?"
Wen Shuo couldn't help laughing and said, "100,000."
"Small, a little less..." Zhai Chuan'an shrank his neck with no confidence and said with awkward smile.
In fact, Wen Shuo said 100,000 yuan, which made Zhai Chuan'an unable to help but want to jump up.
God!
Just one piece of calligraphy is worth 100,000 yuan?!
Go to the town and the county town, and buy a painting for more than ten yuan to hang it, or buy a particularly beautiful printed character to hang it, which is not better than this character? The reason why I have never bought this character to replace it is that Zhai Chuan'an's family is not aware of the goods, but feels that there is no need to waste money. If you have this character at home, just hang it.
Anyway, in this life environment, I have no knowledge of Confucianism when talking and laughing, and I have no one to know anything about it.
Wen Shuo said with a smile: "Well, Mr. Zhai, how much do you plan to sell it?"
"I..." Zhai Chuan'an was hesitant - how could he know how much this calligraphy was worth? He just knew that the calligraphy and paintings handed down from the Ming Dynasty must be worth it - it is normal for human beings to be less, and afraid of more!
For many people, there is no absolute definition of bargaining.
"Oh, I'll say it all." Wen Shuo showed a little helpless and impatient expression and smiled, "What I annoyed most is bargaining. Now you ask for 200,000 yuan. If I buy it, you will still feel that you are missing... In fact, it is not a conclusion on how much cultural relics are worth. For example, I like this character now. I pay 100,000 or 200,000 yuan. I don't care, just want to be happy. You take this character out for sale. When you encounter someone who doesn't know the goods, you will feel that you have land for free. Even if you meet someone who knows the goods, they still think that they want to make a fortune from it. 50,000 yuan may be thinking that there is not much profit for you, so you won't pay this price, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhai Chuan'an nodded embarrassedly and agreed.
Wen Shuo turned his head and looked at Ma Youcheng and said, "Master Ma, you are an expert in this field. If you bought that calligraphy, what price would you like to pay?"
Zhai Chuan'an immediately showed hope, nervous and hesitant expression.
After all, he was the head of the family. Although he had never seen any world, he was not a fool. He was wondering whether Wen Shuo and Ma Youcheng would sing and reconcile.
Ma Youcheng smiled and said, "I never force anyone to do anything. Moreover, if you pay too much attention to the price of real money and silver, it is a blasphemy to the historical and cultural representatives of the cultural relics themselves."
"I, I don't understand very well." Zhai Chuan'an couldn't help but say, "Mr. Ma, Master, just tell me how much that thing is worth."
"It's worthless." Ma Youcheng snorted softly.
"Ah?" Zhai Chuan'an looked confused.
Even Wen Shuo was a little puzzled.
Ma Youcheng seemed to feel that his words were too stiff, and coughed lightly, saying, "Let me tell you something. Last year, a wealthy man who settled abroad came to my house as a guest. When he visited my collection, he caught a look at an inkstone and wanted to buy it. He asked me how much it cost, and I said 50,000 yuan. The rich man habitually asked me if it could be cheaper. I said I could give it to you, but if you buy it, a 50,000 yuan cannot be lost, because it is worth the price."
After saying that, Ma Youcheng took a cup of tea with a quiet look.
Zhai Chuan'an was confused when he heard this, but seemed to understand something. He hesitated to look at Wen Shuo, and wanted to speak but stopped.
Wen Shuo shrugged and said, "What Ma Master means is to ask me to buy this character for 200,000 yuan?"
"I don't mean that." Ma Youcheng smiled.
"Master Ma, don't you want to buy this character?" Zhai Chuan'an asked with awkward expression.
Ma Youcheng shook his head and said, "The thing is good, but Wen Shuo likes me, so I can't interfere anymore. This is the industry rule. Because if I am willing to bid 200,000, I'm sorry to Wen Shuo, and secondly, you will still think that Wen Shuo and I are acting on purpose, so... I don't want this character."
Zhai Chuan'an became more and more embarrassed.
Wen Shuo was not in a hurry to drink tea.
"Okay, I'm not the kind of person who is ignorant and unreasonable." Zhai Chuan'an gritted his teeth and said, "Let's follow the method Master Ma just said, at a price of 150,000 yuan! If you want it, buy it!"
"Don't interfere!" Wen Shuo waved his hand and said, "Master Ma wants face, I am also a person who wants face. It's not a shortage of 50,000 yuan, ah! I'll pay 200,000 yuan, don't look back, Mr. Zhai, you secretly poked my backbone!"
"That can't." Zhai Chuan'an was extremely embarrassed, and he admired Wen Shuo's boldness more and more - he was a rich man after all!
These tens of thousands of dollars are not taken seriously at all.
You can bargain before, but when it comes to face, it’s not a big deal to spend tens of thousands of dollars extra.
"It's settled." Wen Shuo said without any doubt: "Tomorrow we will go to the city, and we will take out the money together with Zhang Jian's 50,000 yuan and save a note for you. It can be regarded as paying the money and delivering the goods in one hand."
"Then, then I..." Zhai Chuan'an blushed and didn't know what to say, and he was so excited...
tomorrow!
I have 200,000!
What can two hundred thousand do?
Marry a wife for the second child in the family and build a dozen more rooms...
It seems that there are endless flowers, right?
Wen Shuo seemed to say impatiently: "I said, brother, can you please be happy? Yes! I know that you feel awkward in your heart from the things passed down from ancestors. You can understand all this, but I have already said everything you should say. If you are really unhappy, I won't force anyone to do it, ah!"
"No, no, no, I don't mean that, I just think..." Zhai Chuan'an quickly apologized.
"You won't..." Wen Shuo narrowed his eyes.
"No! There is absolutely no other meaning!" Zhai Chuan'an waved his hand and said seriously: "People say a face, and trees live a life of skin! I, Zhai Chuan'an, are the head of the family after all, how could I go back on my word?!"
"Okay!" Wen Shuo stood up and said, "With your words, I won't talk nonsense anymore, ah!"
Zhai Chuan'an nodded solemnly and said, "A spit and a nail!"
Seeing that the two had agreed on the letter, Ma Youcheng shook his head in a secret laughter and crying - this fat man was extremely smart, but sometimes he seemed to be geng until he was stupid.
"Mr. Zhai." Ma Youcheng smiled and said, "You have agreed to Wen Shuo that character. I want to discuss something with you."
"What?" Zhai Chuan'an looked confused.
Ma Youcheng said: "I want to stay at your house for a while. Of course, I can pay the rent. You can tell me the price!"
"How long are you planning to live?" Zhai Chuan'an said in surprise: "What are you living here?"
"If that letter is a coincidence, it was passed down by your ancestors, then the incense burner on the altar and a pair of candlesticks are also antiques... Are your ancestors of Zhai family a famous family?" Ma Youcheng smiled and said, "I guess, are other families passing down from other families in Wohuling Village? So I want to live here for a few days and buy some old items."
"Ah?" Zhai Chuan'an couldn't help asking, "How much is the incense burner and candlestick... worth?"
Ma Youcheng raised his hand and held his forehead.
