Pei Miao smiled professionally and replied, "Come on, but you have to look at your appearance first."

The old man took out an oval object more than ten centimeters long from his arms. The object was wrapped in a newspaper outside, and he couldn't tell what it was. However, through the superpowers of his eyes, Pei Miao found that this thing actually emitted a 5-layer aperture, which should be something from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. When the old man carefully peeled off the newspaper and exposed the objects inside, he saw that it was a fat doll made of blue and white porcelain.

Pei Miao asked: "Old sir, can I get started with this porcelain doll?"

"Of course." The old man handed the porcelain doll directly to Pei Miao.

Pei Miao waved his hand repeatedly and said, "You should not take the antiques directly from the other party's hand, otherwise if an accident occurs during the handover, it will be difficult to determine who is responsible."

He pushed a thick flat towel on the counter to the old man and said, "Please put it on this towel."

"Oh." The old man hurriedly put the porcelain doll on the towel.

Pei Miao picked up the porcelain doll with his left hand. In order to exercise his treasure appraisal level, he did not use his right hand ability, but checked it carefully with his naked eyes. Based on the blue and white color materials, glaze, body quality, and glaze painting and other craftsmanship, Pei Miao looked at it for a while, and based on his own experience, he judged that this was a folk kiln blue and white porcelain doll from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. The doll held a big fish in his arms, which meant that it was surplus every year, and the craftsmanship was quite good. It was considered a fine product in the folk kiln. If it was sold in the store, it would probably be sold for 30,000 yuan.

In order to verify whether he read it wrong, he touched the porcelain doll with his right hand. When he touched the porcelain doll with his right hand, the picture of the porcelain doll immediately appeared in his mind. The glaze, body, and blue and white colors all fully conform to the characteristics of the Qianlong folk kiln. He read it wrongly.

He had a whim, and with a thought, the picture was closer, and he saw clearly the inside of the porcelain doll. The inside of the porcelain doll was filled with cotton wool. He felt strange and pulled the picture in his mind closer again, and found that a yellow stone was wrapped in the cotton wool.

Pei Miao carefully observed the yellow stone and found that the stone had a warm and cute color and fine texture. This was Shoushantian yellow stone.

"This is Tian Huangshi, the king of stones!" Pei Miao was extremely shocked.

This is a very regular rectangular piece of Tianhuangshi, about 6 cm long and about 3 cm wide. Judging from the shape and size of this Tianhuangshi, it should be a seal blank used for seals.

Shoushan Tianhuangshi has always been the title of King of Ten Thousand Stones. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it has been regarded as one of the best materials for seals. There is a saying in the industry, "It is easy to get a thousand gold, but it is hard to find a Tianhuangshi." This sentence accurately reveals the value of Tianhuangshi. The price of each gram of Tianhuangshi in the market has exceeded 20,000, and it is still priceless. Many famous calligraphers and painters want to search for a Tianhuangshi to make their own private seal, but few people can get it. The reason is simple, rare, and too rare.

Judging from the size of this piece of Tianhuangshi, it weighs about one hundred grams and is worth more than three million.

After a while, Pei Miao carefully put the porcelain doll back on the towel, looked at the old man, and asked, "Old man, how much do you plan to take advantage of this thing?"

The old man said: "My grandson urgently needs money for surgery. He doesn't pay enough money. The hospital does not allow an appointment for surgery. I borrowed some of them with my relatives, but it's still 20,000 yuan. Do you think my thing is worth 20,000 yuan?"

Pei Miao nodded and said, "The thing is good, 20,000 should be worth it."

At this moment, Boss Shen suddenly walked into the store and asked, "What is worth 20,000?"

It was really time for him to show up.

Pei Miao pointed to the blue and white porcelain doll and said, "This old man is here to sell this blue and white porcelain doll."

"Let me take a look." Boss Shen walked to the counter, picked up the blue and white porcelain doll and looked at it for a while, smacked his lips, with an unsatisfied expression on his face, put down the porcelain doll, looked at the old man, and said, "Old man, will you sell it for one thousand?"

"One thousand?" The old man looked confused and pointed at Pei Miao, saying, "He just said that it can be worth 20,000!"

Pei Miao was embarrassed for a moment when he heard about it and didn't know what to say. Although Boss Shen used to cheat people who were not aware of their profession, the price offered this time was really a bit ruthless.

Boss Shen smiled and said, "He is just a clerk who knows nothing. He's misleading. You are actually a folk kiln porcelain from the late Qing Dynasty. It has a history of only 100 years at most. The craftsmanship level is not good, and it's not worth much."

After saying that, Boss Shen turned his head and glared at Pei Miao, scolding: "Pei Miao, if you have low level, don't talk nonsense. If you talk nonsense like this in the future, your salary will be deducted!"

Although Pei Miao knew that he was acting on purpose, he was very disgusted. Boss Shen had cheated people once or twice, but the price this time was really outrageous.

There are rules for antiques businesses, which can reduce prices, but they cannot deceive people who don’t know the business. Shen Ming can quote a price of 1,000, but he cannot deliberately describe things from the Jiaqing era as things from the late Qing Dynasty.

The most important thing is that this cannot constitute a fraud crime, because if the law enforcement department asks about this matter, Shen Ming can say that he has misunderstood. The antique industry is too deep, and most transactions are subject to moral constraints, and many regulations are helpless.

When the old man heard Boss Shen's words, he was anxious: "How could this be? This is something that has been passed down for several generations in our family. When I was a teenager, my grandfather told me that this is something that was almost two hundred years old. Now decades have passed, why has it become something from the late Qing Dynasty?"

"I won't read it wrong." Boss Shen said, "This is something from the late Qing Dynasty. It's not easy for you to see that you are not easy. Let's do this. I'll give you two thousand, up to two thousand, and you can't get more."

The old man shook his head repeatedly: "Two thousand can't do it, definitely can't do it. My grandson is waiting in the hospital for 20,000 yuan for surgery. I don't want the extra one, I only want 20,000 yuan. Boss, my baby is a pair. I sold one ten years ago, and it was already sold for 10,000 yuan at that time. Why has the price dropped ten years ago... "

When Pei Miao heard this, he felt embarrassed for his boss. Although antiques are based on their own eyes, it is really unkind to cheat someone who doesn’t know how to do anything, and it will be criticized by his peers if it is reported.

The boss was also asked by him so much that he didn't know how to answer, and said impatiently: "I only paid 2,000 yuan. If you think the price is right, sell it. If you don't, please leave."

Pei Miao heard this and hurriedly advised: "Boss, you can collect this porcelain doll, you can add some more money."

Boss Shen turned around and glared at Pei Miao, and asked coldly: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Pei Miao said: "No, I'm also thinking about our store, there's a lot of money. Moreover, the old man's grandson needs money for surgery when he is hospitalized. You accept this porcelain doll, make money by yourself, and help the old man, the best of both worlds."

"What do you know!" Boss Shen glared and scolded, "This porcelain doll is not a fine product. Who knows when it can be sold in the store? Will this delay my capital turnover?"

Pei Miao chose to shut up when he heard this. Since the boss was determined to refuse to buy it, it means that Tian Huangshi in the porcelain doll was not destined to be with him. He couldn't remind him that there was something in the porcelain doll, otherwise he would not be able to explain why he knew it.

In fact, Shen Ming has his own ideas, which is also a bargaining method. If the old man is really anxious to use money, he will definitely not look back and go to another store to ask about the price. If the story told by the old man is fake, then he is likely to come back after leaving the store and sell it to Shen Ming for one or two thousand.

Shen Ming has opened a store for so long, so he naturally has his own business experience. Maybe he will miss this blue and white porcelain doll, but he doesn't care. What he cares about is profit maximization.

"I'll go to other stores to ask." The old man said, and went up to wrap the porcelain doll in newspaper, stuffed it into his arms and turned around and left.

Pei Miao was very anxious when he saw the old man leaving. Should he miss Tian Huangshi worth two or three million yuan?

Besides, the old man was anxious to have 20,000 yuan for surgery on his grandson. No matter which store he went to, it was difficult to sell his porcelain dolls for 20,000 yuan. Even if the owner of a very conscientious antique shop was very kind, he could only give him ten thousand at most. This is the case before the trip, antique shops were not open for three years and had three years of opening. The price difference between receiving and selling goods was very large. There was no sufficient profit. Generally, the owner would not receive or sell goods easily, while Shen Ming was the one with a darker heart among all antique shop owners.

The old man had already walked out of the store for twenty or thirty meters. It seemed that it was impossible to turn around. Pei Miao finally couldn't help it, so he walked around the counter and ran out of the store. He quickly chased after him and shouted, "Old man, wait a moment!"

The old man turned around and saw Pei Miao running to him, looked at Pei Miao in confusion, and asked, "Have your boss changed his mind?"

"No." Pei Miao shook his head and said, "Old sir, sell you porcelain doll to me, I will pay 20,000 yuan."

The old man turned around and looked at Pei Miao in surprise when he heard this: "Really? Are you willing to buy it? 20,000?"

Pei Miao nodded: "Yes, 20,000 yuan, sell it to me."

The old man was very happy and quickly took out the porcelain doll from his arms and wanted to hand it to Pei Miao.

Pei Miao smiled and reminded: "You cannot hand the antiques directly to the other party, you must put them in a stable place first."

The old man smiled and nodded: "I am old and have a bad memory."

As he said that, he placed the porcelain doll wrapped in the newspaper on the ground.

Pei Miao squatted down and picked up the porcelain doll, used his right hand to investigate it, and saw Tian Huangshi inside again. Pei Miao felt countless money waving to him.

At this moment, Boss Shen suddenly left the store and walked quickly towards this side. When he got closer, he was gloomy and said coldly: "Pei Miao, you have grown your skills. How dare you take other people's goods privately in my store?"

Pei Miao glanced at him and said apologetically: "Boss, I'm sorry, this doll is really good, but you don't want to accept it, so I can only accept it. Moreover, it's on the street, not in your store, it's not considered breaking the rules."

Boss Shen glared and said loudly: "You are just an apprentice, I have denied things! You actually paid a high price! Are you slapped me in the face??"

Pei Miao frowned slightly and didn't say anything.

Boss Shen continued to snort coldly, "Hmph, you haven't grown all the hair yet, and you dare to speak out loud. As my clerk, you actually sing the opposite tune with me. You have become capable of you!"

Pei Miao was very dissatisfied with his bad attitude and said, "Boss, everyone can make a living by relying on their abilities. Maybe my eyesight is indeed not as good as you, but if I take this thing, the profit and loss will be my business in the end."

"Oh, you still have to rely on your ability to make a living? Your wings are hard? You want to fly, right?" Boss Shen sneered at Pei Miao and joked, "You don't even look at how much you have. What are your abilities? You dare to accept things that I deny!"

Pei Miao gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, and said, "It's my personal behavior that I take in. It has nothing to do with you, the boss. While I respect you, please respect me."

"Respect you? Why do you want me to respect me?" Boss Shen felt as if he had heard a big joke and sneered, "Just because you are a student of the Archaeology Department of Jinling University? You have to remember that you have not graduated and you were expelled from the school. You are nothing. Two years ago, if I hadn't seen you sleep on a bench on the Antique Street in the middle of the night, I felt that you were as pitiful as a dog. I took you in, you would have gone home to farm!"
