Chapter 94 Wu Rangzhi
At this time, the middle-aged man's transaction was also nearing completion. After a tug-of-war, the two men finally offered a price of 500,000, and the transaction price was 120,000.
The stall owner then had time to look back at the four seals that Xu Youyou had chosen.
"Beautiful lady, since this is your first time here, I'll give you a fair price. This is five hundred thousand for all of this."
Xu Youyou couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and said, "Why do you tell everyone it's 500,000?"
The stall owner was a little embarrassed, and pointed at the pile of seals and said: "Whether the seal is authentic or not, you can tell by looking at the material. Look, these are all good stuff, those who know will know."
He seemed to have said something, but also seemed to have said nothing.
Xu Youyou picked up one of the white jade seals and asked, "How much is this?"
The stall owner rolled his eyes and offered a price: "This one alone, four hundred thousand."
His quote was obviously based on the material, and Xu Youyou asked about the prices of the other three seals.
"150,000, 50,000, 20,000. If you buy them individually, the price is a bit higher. If you buy them together, it's only 500,000. These seals are old things that I collected with great effort. They are real antiques and authentic."
Xu Youyou found these words surprisingly familiar, as if every stall owner had said "guaranteed authenticity". Coincidentally, the seal she wanted to pick up happened to be the cheapest one.
"It's so expensive." Xu Youyou said.
Although she was wearing only the simplest sportswear today and had no bag in her hands, she was accompanied by a middle-aged woman with an attentive face, and followed by four tall men in casual clothes. These four men looked like bodyguards.
The stall owner looked at Xu Youyou's age and guessed that she was some rich girl who came to the antique market on a whim to have fun. He felt that he had met a fat sheep.
"I'll take a loss and sell this much to you for 490,000," said the stall owner.
Xu Youyou's face was full of confusion. She picked up this seal, then looked at that seal, as if she couldn't make up her mind. After a long time, she reluctantly put down the other seals, leaving only the target seal in her hand.
It was a seal with words engraved on all six sides, and the main body was a transparent yellow color. Xu Youyou didn't know much about seals, and she thought it seemed to be made of Qingtian stone, covered with red pigment and looking dirty.
Xu Youyou held the seal in her hand, pretending to be unlearned, and said, "This is interesting. There are words on every side, but I don't know what they say. I want this one. Sell it to me at a lower price."
The stall owner saw that she was accompanied by four bodyguards, but he bought the cheapest seals. He couldn't help but said, "Beauty, these are all good stuff. If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it. I'll make it cheaper. I'll sell the four seals to you for 450,000 yuan."
Xu Youyou shook her head helplessly and said, "My family has a spending limit. I am only allowed to spend 500,000 yuan a day. I even made an appointment with the salesgirl to look at bags today."
The daily spending limit is NT$500,000. The stall owner has never heard such a niche Mandarin dialect. He thinks it’s really not good for rich families to spoil their children like this, because he has never experienced it.
The stall owner wanted to persuade him again: "How can a bag preserve its value like an antique..."
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Xu Youyou: "The bag is much more beautiful than the antiques. Why should I keep its value? Otherwise, I won't buy it. It doesn't seem to be particularly interesting."
Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly away, the stall owner immediately put on a painful expression and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything. I'll take a loss. This seal is 18,000 yuan, it can't be any cheaper!"
Xu Youyou acted like a naive young lady and said, "It's two thousand yuan cheaper. I bargained down the price by one tenth!"
When she left with the seal, the stall owner was so happy that his teeth were about to pop out. He had spent two hundred yuan to buy this seal, and made more than ten thousand yuan by reselling it. It's really easy to make money from a young lady!
[Congratulations to the host, you have completed the task of picking up leaks and received the reward: Primary Seal Identification Technique. ]
Xu Youyou originally planned to put the seal into her pocket. After receiving the system reward, she immediately found a seat in the antique morning market and sat down, examining the seal carefully.
This seal has a total of six sides, with the inscriptions reading "Sit on my spring breeze, After obeying the edict, Chu guest, Chu farmer, Plants and trees have their own heart, and I give them miscellaneous pendants as a gift."
"Girl, will you let me see your seal?"
Xu Youyou turned around and saw that the person who was talking was an old man in his sixties. He wore a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, had bright eyes, looked energetic, and had a bookish air about him, looking like a university professor.
Behind the old man was a young man in his early twenties, dressed fashionably with a big gold chain around his neck.
Xu Youyou had four bodyguards behind her and felt that the old man did not look like a bad person. Seeing that he looked at the seal with admiration, she handed the seal to him.
The old man picked it up and examined it carefully for a quarter of an hour.
The young man seemed a little impatient and said, "Grandpa, if you really like this seal, we can buy it and take it back to take a closer look. Don't worry, your grandson and I have plenty of money."
Xu Youyou raised her eyebrows and thought to herself that this guy was quite a local tycoon.
The old man really liked the seal and was reluctant to put it down.
"It's too expensive, let's forget it." said the old man.
The young man was not happy: "How much can it be? Beautiful, name your price."
Xu Youyou shook her head and said, "I haven't decided whether to sell it or not."
The young man was unhappy and said, "How much is a seal worth? I'll give you 100,000 yuan."
Upon hearing this, Xu Youyou and the old man looked at him together.
Noticing that the two people's eyes were not right, the young man asked: "Why? One hundred thousand yuan is not enough?"
Xu Youyou said helplessly: "It's a bit too little."
The old man also nodded: "I have always told your parents that you should study more, why don't you believe it?"
The young man touched his nose and said, "What's the point of studying? Is there any gold in books? I'm doing foreign trade business now, making millions a month, is that not enough? I have to be picky about those with high education who work for me."
Xu Youyou raised her eyebrows and took the initiative to praise: "At your age, it is indeed not a small amount to earn so much money every month."
The young man was elated.
But the old man's words dampened his confidence: "This seal will keep you busy for at least six months."
The young man was confused: "It's just a seal, how can it be worth so much money? Are you kidding me?"
Xu Youyou patiently explained: "The value of antiques is that they were common things in the past, but as time goes by, they gradually become rare treasures."
The young man touched his nose and said, "But not all antiques are valuable, right? It's impossible that a broken bowl in an ordinary person's home is worth millions."
The old man reluctantly returned the seal to Xu Youyou, and said helplessly: "Girl, you are also an expert, tell my brat about the origin of this seal."
"This is the work of Wu Rangzhi." Xu Youyou said.
