Chapter 49 Praise and Criticism
Seeing Kang Shude holding a flashlight in his hand, it was the first time that he looked through the things on the stall so carefully one by one.
Ning Weimin knew something was wrong.
He almost didn't dare to make a sound and waited attentively.
The vendor of this street stall is a middle-aged man holding a cigarette in his mouth.
It's just that kind of novice who has no foundation. As soon as he sees a buyer, he works even harder to attract him.
"Old man, I see that you are always an expert. What do you want to find? Don't look at my stall. I want porcelain, jade, and scrolls. There are scrolls, I’m not bragging, I have these things..."
I have to say that his "business experience" is really inappropriate for showing off.
When I saw someone coming, I kept an eye on their money bag, as if I was afraid I wouldn't be able to kill it.
Ning Weimin laughed secretly in his heart, knowing that this master was going to be in trouble.
Because this kid has the same problem as he did in the past.
Think that you are smart, have a frivolous temper, and have a poor tongue.
It is exactly in line with the old man’s saying, “Those who are clever and exposed have poor morals, and those who are too eloquent have poor fortunes.”
Unfortunately, this master still doesn’t know it.
Think about it, with such a big stick, since I met a real expert today, it would be strange to have a good one.
Ning Weimin really wanted to laugh at him at this time.
"What is my master looking for? Of course he is looking for your son."
"Old man, look at this, this is the official kiln fighting color from the Qianlong period. This Isn’t the thing good?”
What’s interesting is that the man is a little ignorant and can’t tell what his features are.
Because Kang Shude just couldn't speak, he still begged for recommendation.
As a result, as soon as Kang Shude opened his mouth, Beng'er went back with just one sentence.
"Return to the official kiln? Gui kiln."
The seller felt that he had lost face and immediately became angry.
"Hey, old man, do you understand me? You dare not know the truth..."
Unexpectedly, Kang Shude was as straightforward as a fortune teller.
"I don't know the goods? I can tell at a glance that you just arrived today. Right?"
When it comes to art, the seller is like a cat with its tail grabbed. It's really a bit crazy.
"You...you...are..."
Kang Shude took his time, half-truth and half-falseness, and set up his position.
“I’ve been here almost every day for the past ten days or so. I haven’t bought anything from you, and I’ve never met you.”
The seller's eyes lit up. Not only was he relieved, but he also looked like he had seen "great unity."
"Oh, why are you here every day? Then you...you are such an elegant person."
It's a pity that the flattery was not right, Kang Shude shook his head.
"Hey, what is Fengya? To tell you the truth, just like you, I also want to make a living from this."
"But you are here to sell, I am here to buy first. , grab the goods here and sell them elsewhere to earn the hard-earned money.”
"If I were not in a hurry to open, why would I get up so early and come here every day at my age?"
Of course this is not true.
But now not only the sellers, but also Ning Weimin became energetic. If for no other reason than the old man telling such a lie, it would not be without purpose.
This further proves that there is something interesting at this stall.
"Oh, I understand. Senior, I'm sorry that we are traveling together, and you are here to grab the goods. Then you can buy two items from me. We are mutually beneficial, and I will definitely give you a good price."
The seller said happily, "I don't want to," and this sentence made Kang Shude laugh again.
The old man looked at the thirty or so things on the stall and deliberately chewed his teeth, as if he was teasing them in a bit of embarrassment.
"I have money, and I want to spend it. But...you...look at it, you don't have anything good here?"
"What are you talking about?" The seller took the initiative to introduce again.
"You keep looking here, how about this blue and white plum vase, from the Chenghua official kiln. Can you afford it?"
But this provocation was useless, and Kang Shude responded with complete contempt.
He held something in one hand and took a flashlight photo in the other hand to show the seller, and he immediately criticized it.
"Pull him down, you can't deceive me. You're still an adult? You just opened your mouth."
"If nothing else, look at the birds on the dead branches. Is it possible to roll your eyes and look at people like this? Such a sparse painting method is obviously from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. If I were you, I would make it up to the late Qing Dynasty. ”
"I might as well tell you one more thing. The family you are buying and selling things for was indeed a wealthy family in the past. It's a pity that it's so far apart. They should have been defeated long ago."
"They The really good things at home have either been copied by people in the 'movement', or they have been sold off long ago. The remaining ones are no longer serious things..."
To be honest, it's just In fact, Ning Weimin couldn't tell which of Kang Shude's words was true and which was false.
But after all, he has been doing business in the entertainment industry for a long time, so at least he knows something.
Praise and criticism are buyers!
This is an old saying in the collecting world.
To put it bluntly, there is only one meaning.
Those who say something is not good are the ones who are tempted to buy it.
Whoever wants to say, "This thing is really good, don't sell it for less" will definitely not buy it.
The reason why I said yes is because I don’t want it.
If you want it, you have to find faults, so that you can lower the price.
Of course, the most important point is that you have to belittle the place.
You have to speak to the point so that the other party is not annoyed and truly convinced.
Kang Shude is obviously a man with good intentions.
His few words had a big effect.
Just look at the seller who suddenly looked surprised and confused.
If I couldn’t hold it back, I would lose all the truth in my mouth.
"Oh, it seems that you are still a wise man. What can you do if you can pinch it? You really have to say it. These goods really come from the families of officials, our neighbors, their families My ancestor was a second-rank official in the Ministry of Rites.”
“But their family did fail. Even the old house in Shichahai was sold. These were the last few old things found under the old man’s bed. No one in their family understands, so they asked me to bring it to cash."
"I also rolled my eyes at this bird, and it is indeed a Xibei product. , seeing as their family is so poor, all the good stuff would have been sold out long ago. This is still the most decent piece, so these two pieces of porcelain are even more unsightly.”
"Okay, I have learned a lot now. Next time I encounter someone like this, I will say it was from the Guangxu year. Then...then you don't like any of the things I have here? There are other things. The two scrolls are from their house, would you like to take a look?”
The last sentence sounded like the seller was somewhat guilty and disappointed.
But to his surprise, Kang Shude smacked his lips. Although he refused to look at the scroll, he did not say anything.
