Chapter 10 Two Plans (Please support! Please recommend!)
Hu Bayi left early and has no impression of Yingzi. Wang Kaixuan still remembers it, but in his memory, Yingzi is still a half-grown child.
In view of this inherent impression, Wang Kaixuan felt that it was better to rely on Yingzi to lead the way.
You know, he often went into the mountains with Father Yan Zi back then.
Dad Yanzi saw what he was thinking, took a puff of his cigarette, and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate Yingzi. She has been hunting with her father in the woods since she was a child, so she knows this old forest well. Not to mention all the twists and turns, she also has good marksmanship. She is the best among the younger generation.”
"Besides, if you don't want to get lost in the woods, you have to bring a few good dogs with you. The three mastiffs in our village all belong to her family, and two of them were raised by Yingzi herself."
Hearing Yan Zi’s father’s words, Wang Kaixuan immediately shut his mouth.
He had never seen the two mastiffs raised by Yingzi, but he had seen the one raised by Yingzi's father.
It is a giant mastiff bred using ancient methods. It is extremely ferocious by nature. Three of them are enough to rival bears and wild boars.
Wang Kaixuan had witnessed with his own eyes the scene where Yingzi's father's giant mastiff, led by seven or eight hunting dogs, easily captured a wild boar.
Such a shocking scene, even with Wang Kaixuan's character, is still vivid in my mind when I think about it.
Now I heard from Yanzi’s father that Yingzi’s family has three giant mastiffs, so how could he still refuse?
Leaving aside Yingzi’s level for now, the three giant mastiffs alone were enough to make him change his mind.
Hu Bayi saw that Wang Kaixuan had become honest, and instantly understood that this giant mastiff was probably unusual, and quickly thanked him: "I'm sorry for bothering you, uncle!"
When everyone was full of wine and food, Chen Ziyan and the others came to the room where they lived.
After entering the door, Hu Bayi looked at the leather bag in Chen Ziyan's hand from time to time. After thinking about it, he asked: "Mr. Chen, I wonder what the price of these jade carvings can be?"
Hu Bayi knew that this was a bit against the rules, but Yanzi and her father were worthy of him breaking the rules. At least he had to know what was going on, so that he could sleep peacefully tonight.
Although he was new to the antique business, he also knew that there were many tricks in it, and he could not let the Yanzi family suffer.
Chen Ziyan saw what he was thinking and didn't care about the overstep. After thinking for a while, he said:
"I actually have two ideas about this. I originally planned to wait until we were on the way back. I’m here to discuss it with you. Now that you’ve asked me, Lao Hu, let’s just talk about it.”
After organizing his words a little, Chen Ziyan continued: "I also see that you and Fatty have a deep relationship with the Yanzi family, so when thinking about the price, I gave it more thought."
"If Looking at the value of these jade carvings alone, I can tell you clearly that due to some reasons, the price of this half set of zodiac jade carvings has to be discounted, and can only be purchased for about 30,000 yuan.”
"Only 30,000?"
Hearing Chen Ziyan's quotation, before Hu Bayi said anything, Wang Kaixuan, who was watching, couldn't help it.
He asked with some astonishment: "Master Chen, if this thing is a complete set, would it be more valuable?"
It's not that he thinks the price is low, but that it's a bit high.
The number of thirty thousand is already astonishing to him. It is really hard to imagine how high it would be completely.
"This is inevitable. You also know that the twelve zodiac signs have the number of earthly branches. Now this is barely half a set. In addition, the evaluation of antiques needs to take into account many factors, so the value has been reduced by more than half."
"If there is a clear provenance on this, then this half set alone would be worth a lot of money."
Chen Ziyan did not hide anything, and simply told the two of them.
"This is reasonable."
Hu Bayi nodded clearly. He knew that what Chen Ziyan said was true.
He had heard his grandfather talk about it before, and he still understood it somewhat.
I know that these antiques have been rare and valuable since ancient times.
The first thing to look at is the amount of existence, which is also a crucial point.
Otherwise, no matter how good something is, if everyone has one piece, its market value will not be very high. Secondly, there are the two aspects of history, culture and artistry. As long as these three points can be understood, the value of an antique can be roughly estimated.
The origin of Yanzi's half set of jade carvings has been unknown, and there is no identification mark. In addition, there are only half a set of incoherent ones left. Chen Ziyan is sincere enough to pay this price.
"What about your other idea, Mr. Chen?" Hu Bayi continued to ask after knowing the quotation.
He was curious about what Chen Ziyan’s second thought would be?
"Actually, it's nothing. I was just thinking that since you guys have such a deep relationship, why don't you bring their family to the city as well." Chen Ziyan took out a cigarette and handed it to him with a smile.
"Master Chen is too proud of our brothers." Hu Bayi smiled bitterly and took the cigarette.
To be honest, he had never even thought about such a thing.
This is easier said than done!
To bring the Yanzi family to the city, the joints that need to be opened are really beyond his ability.
“So my second idea is very simple, which is to help Yanzi cash out part of the money and use the rest to buy a house near Panjiayuan.”
“You don’t need to worry about their livelihood. Problem, I just plan to expand my business when I go back this time, so that I can properly accommodate their family."
Chen Ziyan is not just talking nonsense, but the result of careful thinking on the way here.
Mingren doesn’t tell secrets, he wants to conquer Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan.
The inheritance he received is Xiling, and the Xiling faction has always been good at recruiting all kinds of capable people and strangers. Fighting alone is not their style of Xiling.
But in fact, Chen Ziyan was not good at winning people's hearts in his past life, so his plan was to treat people with sincerity.
Exchanging sincerity for sincerity is not a technical matter.
If you want to conquer people like Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, it is one thing to be good to them, but it is even more important to be good to the people they care about.
"This..."
As expected, Hu Bayi was a little moved.
If Chen Ziyan can really do it, it will undoubtedly be much better for the Yanzi family than taking money directly.
"I agree with Mr. Chen's idea, but I have to ask Yanzi and her father tomorrow to decide which one to choose."
After thinking about it, Hu Bayi An ambiguous reply was given.
It's no use just agreeing to this matter. Which way to deal with it still depends on the opinions of Yanzi's family.
"This is natural, but when you talk, Lao Hu, you can mention the issue of children's education. I think they don't pay enough attention to this."
Chen Ziyan also nodded, and then mentioned it again.
"Education issues?"
Hu Bayi was a little confused, wondering why Chen Ziyan asked him to mention this point specifically.
Chen Ziyan can also understand that not only Hu Bayi, but also most people in this era have not paid much attention to the education of their children.
He explained: "Maybe you don't know the difference yet, but this may change your child's life, and it is something that cannot be ignored..."
Afterwards, Chen Ziyan briefly explained the differences to Hu Bayi.
He believes that sensible parents will carefully consider issues related to their children.
Although Hu Bayi seemed to understand, he also understood the importance of this matter and decided to talk to Yanzi and her father tomorrow.
