Chapter 80 Give Him an Undeniable Offer
The man in front of him was a man in his thirties. The clothes on his body seemed to be made of good silk and satin, but there were stains of different sizes left on it.
The shoes on his feet were also worn out, but Lin Hongfei still recognized that they were made by Fuliansheng, the most famous shoe store in Yanjing City.
In addition, there is a long strip of baggage under the armpit of this person, which looks like a painting inside, and the identity of this person is ready to be revealed!
The son of a dilapidated family intends to come to Liulichang to exchange the antiques handed down by the sellers for money to live.
Generally such people have a lot of good things in their hands, but because these people enjoy themselves for a long time and don't know anything about serious things, they are often deceived by antique dealers and cultural relics vendors, and they sell the good things in these people's hands at extremely low prices. price to buy.
"Maybe, you can take a look at what this person has in his hand?"
"If it's a good thing, it can save a lot of money!"
Lin Hongfei made up his mind, rolled his eyes, then walked up to this person, greeted him with a smile on his face:
"Hey, who am I supposed to be? It's you. I said you look familiar!"
The person on the opposite side was dumbfounded by the question, and he looked Lin Hongfei up and down. He looked very strange, and he didn't know him.
But looking at Lin Hongfei's clothes, he is definitely a son of a rich family. Bao Buqi is an acquaintance he met by chance when he was drinking and having fun.
If you directly say that you don't know each other, wouldn't you offend them.
So, after the man was stunned for a moment, he quickly laughed and said, "Ah, yes, it's me. What a coincidence, you're also in Liulichang!"
"Yeah, I have nothing to do when I'm idle, so I'll come out and see if there's anything good, and I'll buy it by the way." Lin Hongfei said with a smile.
"How's it going, did you meet something interesting?" The man asked following Lin Hongfei's words.
"Hey, it's all worthless things."
"Look, it took me more than 300 oceans to buy these little things."
"Although it's not a loss, but I can't find good things, I feel awkward!" Lin Hongfei took out jade pendants, snuff bottles and other small objects, and showed off to the man.
When the man heard this, he suddenly had an idea in his mind. He detected three pieces of information from Lin Hongfei's words.
One is that Lin Hongfei is rich, the other is that Lin Hongfei wants to buy some antiques, and the third is that this person is willing to spend money.
If I sell this ancient family painting in my hand to this person, I should be able to sell it for a good price.
However, this man also listened to chicken thieves, he did not speak directly, but said: "It seems that you are also a person who likes antique calligraphy and painting."
"Hey, I don't have any other hobbies, I just like bottles and cans, calligraphy and painting." Lin Hongfei laughed.
"That's right, I have a painting here, and I just want to ask someone to see if it's true or not. Do you think you can take a look?" the man asked.
"Okay, let's go there then!"
Lin Hongfei pointed to a secluded corner, the two came here, the man took out the painting in his hand from the wrapper, and then Lin Hongfei held one end of the ancient painting, and the other party slowly unfolded the ancient painting.
After just a few glances, Lin Hongfei concluded that this was a real painting, and it was painted by Wang Meng, a famous artist in Ming Dynasty.
However, Lin Hongfei didn't show any expression on his face. Instead, he said calmly: "Your painting is an ancient painting, but it's a pity it wasn't made by a famous artist."
Hearing this, although the man showed a little disappointment, he still had doubts in his heart. He would not just listen to the advice of the family and sell the painting, so he tentatively asked: "Then how much do you think this painting is worth?" ?”
Lin Hongfei pretended to think about it: "If I buy it, it will cost 200 oceans at most."
"Oh, I see!"
The man didn't continue talking, but put the painting away again, and then said with a smile: "Please help me look at the painting, I have something to do right now, I'll be done later, I invite you to drink tea! "
Lin Hongfei knew in his heart that this person must have gone to an antique shop to inquire about prices and wanted to shop around, so he smiled and said:
"Don't, we haven't seen each other for a long time, how can I ask you to invite me, how about this, I will wait for you at the Yuxing Teahouse in front."
"When you finish your work, let's have a good chat!"
"Okay, then wait a moment, I'll go there when I'm done!"
After the man finished speaking, he hurriedly left with his baggage in his arms.
A meaningful smile flickered on the corner of Lin Hongfei's mouth, and then he strolled into Yuxing Teahouse with his hands behind his back.
The Yuxing Teahouse in Liulichang is slightly different from the teahouses in other places, except for serving tea, snacks, and dry croquettes.In addition to rotten meat noodles, wine and food are also sold.
Since the customers here are all antique industry personnel in Liulichang, Yuxing Teahouse has gradually become a place for information exchange, cultural relic intermediary and cultural relic appreciation over time.
When Lin Hongfei walked in, there were already three or five tables of guests in the teahouse, and one table was obviously a few cultural relic peddlers carrying burdens and hanging around the house. These peddlers were discussing:
"Everyone, the old Baylor in Dongtiao Hutong is about to die, and his children are preparing to separate."
"That's right, I've also heard that there are a lot of good things in the old Baylor's house!"
"Everyone, we have to discuss it. In case that family wants to buy something, everyone must not give a high price. Let's stretch them first and kill their hearts!"
"Yes, I thought so too!"
Lin Hongfei couldn't help laughing, thinking that these hawkers were doing this again. First, they lowered the prices collectively, making the antique sellers mistakenly think that the things they own are really worthless.
Then buy the good things in the hands of the seller at a low price, and then resell them, making a fortune!
There are quite a few antique shops in Liulichang that started their businesses in this way!
But there is no way, an industry that relies on poor information to make money, isn't it just to form an information barrier for customers?
Lin Hongfei picked a table by the window, ordered a pot of Biluochun and several plates of snacks and dried fruits, and waited leisurely for the man to come back.
"Not surprisingly, the people who opened the antique shop in Liulichang are all good at bargaining."
"I estimate that their bid will not exceed 150 oceans at most, especially when facing a descendant of a poor family who knows nothing about cultural relics."
"If not, how long will that person have to come back!"
At this time, Lin Hongfei looked through the window and saw that the man just came out of a shop, looked around furtively, and then ran to the next shop.
Lin Hongfei guessed right, this person went to four shops in a row, the highest bid was only 120 Dayang, and the lowest bid was even more excessive, only willing to give 50 Dayang.
Walking out of the fifth shop, this person already believed that the painting in his hand was really worthless, and the young man just bid 200 oceans, which was already the highest price!
"It seems that I'd better sell it to him."
"He said he went to Yuxing Teahouse for tea, but he doesn't know if he's still there!"
"Hope he's not gone yet, God, give me a good price!"
The man hurriedly ran to Yuxing Teahouse with his bundle under his arm.
Lin Hongfei saw him running here from afar through the window, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Hehe, he's back indeed!"
