Chapter 56 Old Bacon
Needless to say, what Ning Weimin could see, naturally could not escape Kang Shude's eyes.
But on the surface, the old man still followed the plan, as if he had been persuaded.
"What you said is true. There is no one else in our family. It’s just me and this child who depend on each other. After all, what’s the purpose of living? Isn’t it just for the sake of family and harmony? We have children and grandchildren to accompany us. "It's better than this dead thing."
"Besides, it's not easy to keep such a good thing for hundreds of years. If it is destroyed in my hands, I can't bear the sin."
"As you two said, since it is a good thing both publicly and privately, why should I hold on to it. Is the market really good? How much better can it be than in the past few years?"
< br>Hearing this, Director Song couldn't help but look happy, and he responded hurriedly, but he was totally unsuspecting.
“Hey, you’re right to think so. Don’t worry, the market is really getting better. It’s much better than in the past few years. Let’s put it this way, if ten years ago, you would have sent me something If something can be sold for a hundred dollars, it can be doubled or even higher today."
The old master also nodded appreciatively.
"Old sir, you are open-minded. We are very grateful that you are willing to transfer."
But they were a little too happy because they had to wait until the real price was discussed.
Only then did they realize how difficult it was to chew the old piece of bacon in front of them.
Despite his repeated assurances, Director Song dared to say with confidence that they would be honest and operate with integrity.
He also said that state-owned stores are not pawnshops in the old society. They will definitely give items according to their actual value, and they will definitely charge the highest price possible.
But Kang Shude ignored him.
The old man is talking to himself, so he must speak clearly and make the ugly remarks first.
"Don't say that. The highest price? Where is the highest price? There is no price for antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and the goods are sold to the best sellers."
"As far as these two things are concerned, Well, if I sell it to a scrap collector, it will cost me only ten or eight yuan.” It. If you really meet someone who loves this thing, it will be it for thirty to fifty thousand, or it will be for hundreds of thousands or millions..."
At this point, the expressions of Director Song and the old master changed. .
Because it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to have this opinion.
Only an absolute expert can say this.
As expected, the old man then made a shocking statement, which fully verified this point.
“Actually, in the early years, there were two times when I almost sold these two things. They were useless. Whenever I encountered difficulties in life, I couldn’t help but think of this. But why did I keep them? It’s because the market is not suitable.”
“To tell you the truth, I have known your shopkeeper Wang Renshan for a long time, and I have been here to look for him. Although he was still employed as a deputy manager at that time, he was no longer in charge.”
"The business situation here was not good at that time. It almost turned into a grocery store. It only sold some New Year paintings, prints and little people's books. The price you offered me was like buying vinegar or soy sauce. I couldn't raise it at all. The total of these two things is less than 2,000 yuan.”
“In the early 1970s, the market was loosened, and I started to think about it. It’s just that I don’t dare to look for you again this time.”
“That time I went to Yunguzhai, and the price they gave was a little better, more than double what it was in five years, less than 5,000 yuan. But it still didn’t work. I couldn’t bear to bear it, so I took it back. “To be honest, I never thought that I would come back again after another eight years. You are here. And we were obviously talking about the restoration, but why did we go back to talking about the sale of this calligraphy and painting? I have to say, this is also a kind of fate."
"That's good. , since you took the initiative to do this again today, and you are quite sincere, saying that you can double the price, then I don’t want more, as long as I don’t suffer too much loss, that’s fine...”
Well, I'm not afraid of anything, I'm just afraid of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
Director Song thought that his spitting was not in vain. After persuading him for a long time, he was only one step away from success.
I was so happy that I started to boast.
But how could he have imagined that he would meet a real expert today, and there was no way he could fool him.
Now that people are trying to make money based on his big words, can he not feel uncomfortable?
To put it bluntly, it's like him starting to sing in a higher tune. Even if he knows that his voice will be broken, he can only keep going up.
As soon as I open my mouth, I will never give you less money.
What does it mean to get carried away? If you talk too much, you will make mistakes!
This is it! "Hey, old sir, don't get me wrong. Doubling is just a rough estimate."
Director Song had a wry smile on his face and shook his head frequently.
“Don’t forget, your calligraphy and painting are here to be repaired, and they are incomplete. Even if the market price has doubled, there is something wrong with the quality of your things. And if we collect them, we won’t accept them. You still have to be responsible for repairs, which is also a business cost..."
Fortunately, Kang Shude nodded in agreement.
"That makes sense, how much can you give me?"
"Five thousand...five, what do you think?"
Director Song spat out a few words with great difficulty.
He wanted to say five thousand, but Kang Shude's eyes glanced at him.
Somehow I made a mistake and added another five hundred.
Unexpectedly, even so, he still suffered a run, and what he thought was a reasonable reason for lowering the price was also overturned.
"This is what you are wrong about. I can't give you ten thousand, and I can't stop you in the middle. As you said, the market is good, but it's just so much more than the price I asked for in the first few years? ”
"Yes, there is a problem with the quality of the calligraphy and painting, but you can repair it. This old master told me personally that it can be repaired as before, and it will be exactly the same as before."
"Yes, repairing is Taking into account the operating costs, the total cost is only 200 yuan.”
“Then let me ask you, how much difference will it make if I repair it with you first? What’s your price? Do you agree with this number?”
Director Song was immediately asked.
The old master was also worried.
But he was clumsy and tongue-tied, let alone saying anything.
"Then... how about six thousand and five thousand?"
Director Song's teeth were clenched.
Kang Shude still shook his head and even criticized.
"That's not what I said. You are here at Rong Baozhai, which should be the place that knows the best about calligraphy and painting. How can you imitate the petty behavior of that small businessman? It really disappoints me..."
When it comes to the reputation of the store, Director Song is a little unhappy.
"Old sir, what are you talking about? When buying and selling, you must bargain. Isn't this a normal discussion?"
Hey, I didn't expect that Kang Shude's truth is sufficient , tougher than him.
"What are you talking about? That's what I said!"
"I would like to ask, did you take the initiative to collect my things today? Did you say that you were sincere and wanted to give me something? My highest price? You also said that the market is better now than in the past two years? But is this the sincerity you show me?”
"Criticize carefully, give prices slowly, and turn around quickly. These are the tactics used in the past! You are a big businessman who has opened your doors to welcome customers from all over the world. How dare you use this trick on me?"
"Next step, shouldn't you say that this is the final price, and there is no justice in buying and selling? If I don't obey you, say hello to other colleagues later to prevent me from going elsewhere. That's fine. Shall I push you? Hehe, then you have really learned a lot..."
Hey, Director Song was embarrassed after hearing this.
Just now he was afraid that he said too little, but now he really regrets that he said too much.
To be honest, his mind just turned around and he wanted to terminate the transaction.
Unexpectedly, the old man blocked his escape route.
How heartbreaking are these words?
For this reason, he has no choice but to continue to offer high prices.
Look at this bad luck!
