Chapter 57: The Dark Way of Picking Up Leaks

Finally, I found a sucker.

If you let it go, there may not be anyone willing to offer a price for it later.

But the middle-aged woman still wanted to make a profit. After all, she bought it for thirty dollars and sold it for twenty dollars, which still meant a loss of ten dollars.

Think about it this way.

The woman immediately said, "I see you really want it. Twenty dollars is really too little. How about forty? That's also half the price you cut. We're really losing money this time."

When her husband heard his wife say this, he naturally knew that his wife wanted to get back as much as possible.

If I could earn ten dollars, my wife would definitely not say anything if I secretly took money from home to buy these things.

At least I made some money.

Zhu Suisui raised his eyebrows.

They probably guessed that the price should be more than 20 yuan, otherwise if they could really make money when Lu Lanxu said that, they would have agreed instead of raising the price by another 20 yuan.

However, Zhu Suisui thinks that there is still some profit to be made at this price.

Lu Lanxu glanced at Zhu Suisui, and seeing that she didn't say anything, she guessed that she still wanted it.

He said, "We originally gave it to the elderly in our family. Forty doesn't sound good, so thirty-five is better."

This is a concession.

When they heard they could earn five dollars, the couple naturally didn't want to bargain anymore and agreed immediately.

It's better than losing.

When I went to an antique shop to ask an expert to appraise it, the expert told me directly that it was a fake. He made every point and said that he had spent thirty dollars and it was definitely a loss, so they could not accept it.

However, he could spend ten dollars to buy this book for him. After all, although it was fake, the fake was well made. He thought it would look nice if he put it in his home.

When his wife found out about this, she was so angry that she wanted to throw it away.

I was just thinking that if it is really not cost effective, I could just sell it to the expert. Even though it would still be a loss, at least I could save some money.

In this business of picking up bargains, there will always be mistakes.

What's more, they are just laymen.

He was also bewitched and thought it was a genuine Song Dynasty edition. He thought he had picked up a great bargain, so he didn't dare to bargain at all. He stole money from his family and bought it immediately.

I originally wanted to make some money in an antique shop, but who would have thought that they were all fake.

Now with the appearance of Zhu Suisui, the other party was actually willing to buy it for thirty-five yuan, and he could still make a profit of five yuan, which made him very satisfied.

Otherwise you will only suffer losses.

Both parties were happy. Zhu Suisui had some money on him, and before Lu Lanxu could take it out, he counted out thirty-five and gave them to the couple.

Watch them order and leave happily.

She held the ancient book as if it were a treasure, her eyes shining.

The two returned to the car.

Zhu Suisui still couldn't let it go. In her eyes, this ancient book was like a heavy pile of money, which could make her feel suffocated.

This ancient book was surprisingly shrouded in a light green mist.

The original blue mist allowed me to obtain the Qianlong seal and a small wine glass, and the green mist I saw was from the Song Dynasty Jun kiln plate at the Bai family. The value of the plate was so high that so many people in the antique circle were willing to pay a lot of money to get it. It was obvious that the value of the plate was definitely due to the Qianlong seal.

Unexpectedly, I could get an ancient book with green mist unexpectedly.

She guessed that there must be something else going on.

Seeing that she was very pleased, Lu Lanxu's eyes became more thoughtful.

My wife never cared about this in the past, but now, I don’t know when, she became interested in antiques.

As a newcomer, it stands to reason that one should be cautious even when trying to pick up bargains.

Without even taking a far look at it, he simply asked him to stop the car and ran over to buy the ancient book.

After all, antiques rely on eyesight.

Since it depends on your eyesight, you will definitely have to examine it carefully, or even play with it, before deciding on the price.

Before buying the ancient book, Zhu Suisui had never held the book in his hands before, and he almost didn't even look at it before buying it.

This is really unbelievable.

Even though Lu Lanxu didn't understand, he felt that this process was wrong.

But he didn't think much of it. If Zhu Suisui liked it, then just buy it. He could still afford the thirty-five yuan.

Lu Lanxu spoke up: "If I mentioned the price without your permission, will it affect you?"

Hearing this.

Zhu Suisui was stunned for a moment.

Then he thought about how Lu Lanxu had just helped him, and for the sake of the money, Zhu Suisui decided to generously forgive Lu Lanxu's attraction.

She said, "This price is about right, and they can make a profit. Although I think they would give us 20 yuan, but if we add 15 yuan, they will be happy and I can accept it, so I think this price is okay."

If it were me, I would probably do the same.

She knew very well that she had picked up a bargain, and that if this ancient book was sold, it would definitely be more valuable than the Qianlong seal.

Sometimes you can't be too cruel and you have to give people a way to survive.

To be honest, it was that unknown expert who gave me the opportunity to make a profit.

Think of this.

Zhu Suisui couldn't help laughing out loud.

Seeing her smile so happily, Lu Lanxu couldn't help but curl his lips, "Why are you so happy? It seems that you really like this ancient book. It's a pity that the appraisal result is fake."

"Do you think it's true or not?" Zhu Suisui raised his eyebrows. Seeing that Lu Lanxu was also deceived, he couldn't help feeling a little happy.

This is Lu Lanxu.

Nothing could be hidden from his eyes, and now it seemed that he was fooled.

Hearing this.

Lu Lanxu thought about it for a moment and came to a conclusion, "So, that expert lied?"

As expected, it is Lu Lanxu.

I just said this and he guessed it.

Zhu Suisui nodded, "This kind of thing is actually very normal in this industry. After all, they are driven by profit. For the sake of treasure, experts will also lie. I am sure that this ancient book is real. Since I am an expert, the possibility of making a mistake is very low. After all, it is not that difficult to check and identify a linear copy from the Song Dynasty."

"I heard from Grandpa Mei that it is very expensive to forge a Song Dynasty linear book. The antique business was just emerging, so who would bother to forge this? If they said it was not from the Song Dynasty, it might be possible, but the expert said it was fake, which made me more certain that the expert must have a selfish motive."

First say it is fake, and use the authority of experts to convince buyers and sellers.

Then, if you give a little money like alms, you can get the treasure at a very low price, right?

This is also a way to pick up leaks.

That's the way it is, the heart is really too dark.
