Chapter 46: Last Week
"Boss, give me this, and I'll pay you 160,000!" the middle-aged man said nervously to the boss.
The boss squinted his eyes and held a cigarette in his mouth: "Sixty thousand? Okay, then I'll give it to you!"
When the young man heard this, he jumped up and said, "Didn't we agree that I want this tripod? We must be honest in doing business!"
"But, the price they offered is higher than yours, and it's still cash. Look at this..." the boss said a little embarrassed.
"The price is high, right? I'll pay 200,000! Just wait, I'll go back and get the money right away!" said the young man.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he became anxious and said, "Young man, why do you have to fight with me?"
The young man had an indifferent expression: "You robbed it from me first."
"You..." The middle-aged man was very angry.
At this time, the boss came out to smooth things over and said: "Well, I think you also like this Fang Ding. How about you increase the price a little more and I'll talk to this young man and let him give it to you. Do you think it's okay?"
"
After hearing this, the young man said helplessly: "Okay, since the boss has said so, as long as your price is higher than mine, I will give it to you. Who told me to respect the old and love the young!"
When the middle-aged man heard this, he was overjoyed: "Okay, I'll go out..."
Before he finished speaking, his hand was held by someone.
The middle-aged man turned around in confusion and saw Wang Chen looking at him with a smile.
"What... happened?" the middle-aged man asked in confusion.
Wang Chen smiled and said: "I advise you not to take this Fang Ding."
When the boss heard this, he quickly said: "Hey, what do you mean? If someone pays you, it doesn't matter what you do!"
"that is!"
The young man also stepped forward and looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Do you want it? If not, this Western Zhou Fang Ding belongs to me!"
"I...I want it, who said I don't want it!" The middle-aged man said quickly, and then looked at Wang Chen: "Young man, they said, you can make money if you buy this small square tripod, don't stop me
I’ll make a fortune.”
Wang Chen shook his head helplessly, this guy, if you can get rich, how can it be your turn?
Jiang Xue on the side was also very puzzled. She didn't understand why Wang Chen stopped this middle-aged man from buying antiques.
"If you want to buy it, just pay. I don't have time to wait for you." The little boss said impatiently.
"Okay, I'll swipe my card right now." The middle-aged man said hurriedly, taking out his bank card and trying to hand it to the other party.
The boss had an excited look on his face, while the young man beside him looked a little frustrated. He seemed to be very upset about missing this square tripod.
Just as the boss was about to take the bank card, he saw Wang Chen on the side stretched out his hand again and grabbed the middle-aged man's wrist.
"Young man, what's wrong? Can you stop making trouble?" the middle-aged man said.
Jiang Xue also frowned, unable to tell that Wang Chen was quite nosy.
People around also pointed and pointed, and some even shouted directly: "You guy, just get out of here if you don't have money, and you still stop others from buying it. How shameless!"
Wang Chen didn't mind this, he looked at everyone and counted silently in his mind.
"I know a thing or two about antiques. If you don't mind, could you let me catch your eye?" Wang Chen said to the middle-aged man.
"You also know about antiques?" the middle-aged man asked after hearing this.
Wang Chen smiled and nodded: "After all, it's always good for more people to look at such an expensive thing."
"What you said makes sense, why don't you help me take a look?" the middle-aged man said.
"Hey, don't you believe me? I graduated from the Department of Archeology," the young man said.
The middle-aged man glanced at the other person: "What they said makes sense. It's better to see things clearly for two hundred thousand dollars."
The little boss reluctantly handed the Fang Ding into Wang Chen's hands and said meaningfully: "Open your eyes and take a good look, but don't talk nonsense. This is a genuine piece unearthed from the Western Zhou Dynasty."
As he spoke, the boss stretched out three fingers and scratched his cheek.
Wang Chen smiled slightly. He understood what the other party meant and stretched out three fingers, which represented the code word.
After the project is completed, Wang Chen can receive 30,000 yuan.
Wang Chen took the Fang Ding, and the middle-aged man on the side kept saying: "You have to be careful, don't break it."
Jiang Xue also said from the side: "Do you know anything about antiques? Don't talk nonsense."
Wang Chen looked at the plaything in his hand calmly.
In the northwest continent, 800 miles away from Qinchuan, tens of thousands of cultural relics have been unearthed, and it has also attracted many archaeologists to excavate.
Wang Chen spent three years in the northwest, and during one of his three years, he followed a group of archaeological team members to dig deep and was responsible for security work.
During this period, he also systematically learned a lot of relevant knowledge.
After looking at it for no more than thirty seconds, Wang Chen handed the square tripod back to the little boss.
"How's it going? Do you see clearly?" the middle-aged man asked anxiously.
Wang Chen didn't say anything, just looked at the little boss: "From what you just said, this square tripod is from the Western Zhou Dynasty, right?"
"That's right." The little boss said with narrowed eyes.
The young man also echoed: "I have seen it too, this is from the Western Zhou Dynasty, there is no problem."
Wang Chen smiled calmly, looked at the middle-aged man and said, "I just saw it clearly. To be honest, you can buy this square tripod."
"Oh." When Wang Chen said this, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief.
"Did you hear that? Don't worry now. Do you still want it? If not, I'll give it to someone else." The little boss urged again.
"Buy it, but don't give it to anyone else," the middle-aged man said quickly.
"Wait!"
Wang Chen suddenly took a step forward, and the smile in his eyes disappeared.
"What happened again?" This time, even the middle-aged man became a little anxious.
Wang Chen looked at the little boss coldly and said in a deep voice: "Although you can buy it, you won't need so much money."
"Ah?" The middle-aged man wondered: "What do you mean?"
"Hey, if you are causing trouble, I will be rude to you!" the little boss said dissatisfied.
"Don't worry." Wang Chen said: "Judging from the style of this square tripod, it is indeed an imitation of the Western Zhou Dynasty, but..."
"Wait, what did you just say? Counterfeit?" the middle-aged man said in surprise, and Jiang Xue on the side was also shocked.
Does this guy really understand, or is he pretending to understand?
"That's right, it's a counterfeit."
Wang Chen said seriously: "Judging from the old glaze paint on this square tripod and the degree of wear and tear, it is not from the Western Zhou Dynasty. At most, it is from last week."
"Last week?" The middle-aged man blinked and asked in confusion.
"That was last week." Wang Chen explained, and then looked at the little boss: "This thing is only worth thirty yuan at most. Do you think I am right?"
"You...you're talking nonsense!" the little boss said angrily, and then he winked at the young man calmly.
"That's right, you're talking nonsense!"
The young man walked up to Wang Chen and said: "You are questioning my major. If I say it is from the Western Zhou Dynasty, it is from the Western Zhou Dynasty."
Immediately, he looked at the middle-aged man again: "Hey, if you believe that he doesn't believe me, then don't ask for this cauldron. I'll go back and get the money!"
"This..." The middle-aged man seemed very hesitant.
Wang Chen said calmly: "Then, let's give it to him."
Chapter completed!
