"How much is it?"
Zhao Rui pointed to the earth's jade essence and asked. His face was silent.
The shop assistants glanced at him, as if they were too lazy to answer his question.
At that moment, a voice came from the entrance of the stairs: "this jade plate is a valuable treasure."
Zhao Rui raised his head and looked at the voice. He saw a thin, wizened old man in his 60s walking down the narrow stairs and walking slowly towards him.
The old man had a goatee on his chin, and a smile that seemed to be on his face. But his triangular eyes made the smile seem treacherous.
Zhao Rui saw that the shop assistants showed great respect for the old man, and knew that the old man was Wu Liang, the boss of jibaozhai.
"What's the big deal? What's the deal?" Sun Xiaolan approached Zhao Rui, looked at the jade plate curiously, and then asked.
"This jade plate was excavated from the tomb of the Tang Dynasty by a famous tomb robber more than 100 years ago. It is said that it was an ornament of Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty and was given to his younger brother. Later, it fell into the hands of an old professor. At that time, I knew it was a treasure and wanted to buy it. However, people refused to sell it. In the end, it took a lot of efforts and twists and turns to get it at a high price. It was not easy!"
Wu Liang talked endlessly about the origin of the jade plate. In fact, he was all talking without telling the truth.
He received this item from a tomb robber at a low price. At the beginning, he knew it would not be a treasure. But he thought it was a jade, and how could it be sold for a few dollars. But after he bought it, he found that it was dark in luster and had no hardness of jade material. It was simply a Western shell product and could not be sold at a price.
Wu Liang knew that this time, he had taken a wrong look, but he was not willing to throw away the jade plate like this, so he threw it in the counter, hoping to sell it at a suitable price one day.
It has been a year since it was released, and no one has been interested in it.
Antique dealers are all good at making up stories. It is a Xibei product. He can easily give Ann a very legendary history, which makes people stand still and pay for it.
Wu Liang has been in this line for 20 years, and naturally he is even more proficient.
Sun Xiaolan has little social experience, and he has been moved by his nonsense. His bright eyes are staring at the jade plate, burning bright.
However, Zhao Rui knows more about the origin of the jade essence in the center of the earth than anyone else. Naturally, he would not believe a word of Wu Liang's words.
"How much is this jade plate?" He was not moved by Wu Liang's sweet words and kept his eyes on the core issue.
Wu Liang's eyes rolled around Zhao Rui's face for a few times, and then showed a sad look: "it's valuable, but you're a good man. It's cheaper. I'll sell it to you for 3000 yuan."
"Three thousand?"
Zhao Rui managed to control the expression on his face and keep from laughing.
Wu Liang obviously didn't know the value of geocentric jade essence. He said so much, but he sold it for 3000 yuan. It's really too cheap!
However, he still planned to haggle again. If he agreed, he was afraid that Wu Liang would treat the earth center jade as a treasure and set a price; In addition, his total bank deposit is only more than 30000 yuan, including the tuition and living expenses for the next two years. 3000 yuan is also a large amount for him, and it is better to reduce it if possible.
"It's too expensive! I'll buy it for fifteen thousand!"
"Fifteen thousand! You don't mean to buy things. The purchase price is more than this! I can't sell it to you at a loss!" Wu Liang seemed a little excited.
"Then give me a reserve price!" Zhao Rui said.
"Two thousand five! It can't be lower!"
"Two thousand at most!" Zhao Rui waved his hand firmly.
Wu Liang pretended to think about it for a while, then sighed: "well, two thousand is two thousand. I'll sell you."
Zhao Rui could no longer restrain his inner joy. He couldn't help smiling. He hurried to a nearby ATM and withdrew 2000 yuan.
Probably because of the reason that I was too excited, I couldn't control the evil spirit in my body. It drifted out and stained the money I just got.
Wu Liang looked at his face a little puzzled, turned his eyes, and suddenly changed his words: "no! The price is too low. I have to think about it again. HMM... this thing is also a treasure. 5000, at least 5000."
Five thousand! Just two thousand, double in the blink of an eye!
Zhao Rui was furious. He knew that Wu Liang had seen that he was very interested in the jade essence of the earth's center, so he sat down and raised the price.
"It was only two thousand just now! How can it change to five thousand in a blink of an eye!" Sun Xiaolan also yelled, her pretty face full of anger.
Wu Liang smiled: "I was wrong just now. I thought you said that the jade plate next to me would be sold for 2000 yuan. This one is at least 5000 yuan, and I won't sell it for less than one point!"
Zhao Rui looked at him coldly. His anger grew stronger and stronger. Compared with the precious jade essence in the center of the earth, 5000 was not much. But if he gave 5000, he was afraid that Wu Liang would raise the price even higher. His greed was limitless. He would never keep up with the price increase.
"If you don't sell it, don't sell it. I won't buy it yet! It's 5000 yuan. It's up to you to buy this thing!"
Zhao Rui coldly put down a sentence and turned away without looking back.
He has made up his mind that he can never agree to this price. Let alone that he does not have so much money, even if he has it, he can never agree. The more he gives in, the more the unscrupulous merchant feels that it is a treasure, and the more he refuses to sell it.
The big deal is to smash the store tonight and rob it directly!
Zhao Rui thought hard in his heart. There is no need to be soft when dealing with such profiteers.
It was not until Zhao Rui and sun Xiaolan were about to leave that Wu Liang became worried. Originally, he just wanted to take the opportunity to make a stroke, but he didn't expect to outsmart himself and drive people away. If he missed this time, I don't know when this junk can be sold.
So he quickly shouted: "wait! Come back! Come back!"
Zhao Rui stopped and looked back. I saw Wu Liangzheng desperately waving: "I'll sell it to you at the price you said!"
"Don't buy him, Xiao Rui. Let's go somewhere else." Sun Xiaolan is extremely disgusted with Wu Liang's treacherous behavior and is unwilling to deal with him again.
"The problem is that there are no other places to sell!" Zhao Rui pressed down his anger and walked toward Wu Liang.
When he entered the Ji Bao Zhai again, Wu Liang had already taken out the geocentric jade essence from the counter and held it in his hand.
"A little more, a little more, two thousand is too little. I'm losing money!"
"Just two thousand." Zhao Rui took out the money and said unequivocally, "if you can't, you'll have to pull it down."
"OK, OK, I'll sell it!" Wu Liangyi grabbed the money, put it in his bag, and then put the jade essence into Zhao Rui's hand. "This treasure is yours. Little brother, you really make a lot of money this time. If you want to put it away, no one will sell you. I'm the only one willing to suffer this loss..."
Zhao Rui sneered and didn't want to listen to his nonsense. He dragged sun Xiaolan out.
As soon as they left the shop, Wu Liang changed his face and a sarcastic smile appeared on his face.
"It's silly of two thousand yuan to buy a worthless junk ×."
