Looking down at the bronze mirror in the hands of Old Mister Song, Lin Hao and Zhao Xiaobao couldn’t help wondering. The bronze mirror was more than 20 centimeters in diameter and relatively intact, but there was a big problem. The surface was a bit severe. It seems to rub off the patina, and the texture is worn a lot. Of course, some textures are covered by patina, and it is hard to see, so it is more difficult to identify.
However, the biggest problem with this bronze mirror is not that the lines can’t be seen clearly, but that the method of polishing copper rust is reckless waste of natural resources, only amateurs will do so, antique shops will never do such a stupid thing, so that’s why they thought that this was not a real thing.
“Old Mister Song, does this bronze mirror have a purpose?” Zhao Xiaobao asked tentatively.
“Of course, this is the Coiling Dragon pattern Copper Mirror of the Tang Dynasty.” Old Mister Song nodded and replied which made Zhao Xiaobao and Lin Hao gasp. They all knew about the famous Tang Dynasty Coiling Dragon pattern Copper Mirror.
“Old Mister Song, is this a real thing?” Zhao Xiaobao couldn’t believe it, Lin Hao was also suspicious.
“Why, you don’t believe my eyes?” Old Mister Song glared at Zhao Xiaobao.
” I dare not.” Zhao Xiaobao waved his hand quickly, he was not qualified enough to challenge Old Mister Song’s authority but he did wonder, “However, if this is the real thing, how can they wipe off the rust like this?”
“I’m also surprised, what’s going on with this, Xiao Liu?” Old Mister Song looked up at Manager Liu.
“This …” Manager Liu didn’t seem to be able to answer Old Mister Song’s question but he replied helplessly in the end, “This was sent from an old lady. She said that when she saw the surface was too dirty, she was worried that we wouldn’t take it, so she just washed it and then used iron wire to vigorously rubbed some of the rust away. if it wasn’t because she was in a hurry. She would have wiped it more cleanly. “
“Reckless waste of natural resources.” Old Mister Song sighed, some amateurs would think that rust will affect the beauty, but for real connoisseurs, the complete item is the most valuable, even the rust on it. It is also part of the bronze mirror that represents history and age. Even if the harmful rust will spread, it must be removed carefully without damaging the copperware itself. It cannot be rubbed in the same way as washing dishes. It can be said that the old lady wiped this and the value of this bronze mirror devalued by at least hundreds of thousands of yuan.
“So it’s true.” Both Zhao Xiaobao and Lin Hao were annoyed, in fact, if they look at it for a while, they might even recognize it as genuine, but the scratches on the surface are too deceptive. So that they did not continue to look seriously.
“The price is actually 400,000. Then it’s worth more than 1.2 million?” Xiao Rui asked in surprise, Manager Liu drew his lips and did not answer because his heart was hurting. It was hurting badly!
“I’ll be dammed. Isn’t this way too profitable?” Xiao Rui was shocked. His heart was tickling and he wanted to buy one for himself.
“A’Jing, how did you choose this one?” Lin Hao asked enviously.
“I just listened to Manager Liu, I feel good about it so I chose it.” Su Jing said.
“Uh …” Lin Hao, Zhao Xiaobao and others, as well as Manager Liu himself, were all stunned. Is there anything wrong? This is a clear game of nine fakes and one true. He actually listened to the seller and bought it.
Old Mister Song stopped the talking people and continued to appraise. The final result was the same as Su Jing expected. Five authentic and three fakes. The purchase price of the authentic product was 1.5 million yuan, and the market price was 4.5 million yuan. Almost all of a sudden, he hollowed out the bottom of this antique shop.
“What the actual hell. Doesn’t that equal to making 2.7 million yuan?” Xiao Rui is stunned.
“Speaking of which, the cyan porcelain jar introduced to me by A’Jing is also the real one.” Liu Yan said and her voice was soft and nice. She re-examined Su Jing and found that her boyfriend’s college roommate didn’t seem to be so simple anymore.
“I almost forgot about it. A’Jing, did you really listen to Manager Liu?” Lin Hao looked as if his world views have been broken.
“Yeah.” Su Jing nodded.
“Manager Liu is too nice.” Everyone looked at Manager Liu.
“I …” Manager Liu’s face was extremely ugly. How could he not remember how he introduced the items to Su Jing? Did he really reveal his secret by accident and let Su Jing know the result? Or does this Su Jing know how to look at things and see-through himself?
Of course, at this moment, the reason is not the most important, and the result is the most important. He really does not know how he would deal with the manager and the boss. Su Jing has been blacklisted in his heart. The show Nine Fakes and One Real will never be opened to Su Jing in the future.
“It’s really embarrassing to take so many things at once.” Su Jing scratched his head as it seemed a little too greedy. These items are estimated to be the jewels of this store. There is also a risk of failure. The point is that he didn’t get them using his eyesight and knowledge but he got them by hypnosis, which is a bit like bullying. There is too much injustice, such things are bad for business.
“Since it is the rules set by the store, naturally I have to do things according to the rules.” Although Manager Liu was bleeding in his heart, he still did not forget his credibility and bit his teeth.
“But, it would be inconvenient for me to hold these things. I will store them here and leave them to your shop to allow you time to turn around. Of course, you can also use them and sell them. If it’s lower than the current market price, you can’t sell it until it’s higher than the market price. After you sell it, you can pay me the market price and keep the rest of the money. If it’s higher than the market price, I won’t charge any money. Manager Liu, do you think that’s good? ” Su Jing said.
“Mr. Su, you …” Manager Liu’s eyes brightened. Su Jing was so generous that he became excited, “If Mr. Su is really willing to do this, then, of course, it is good, thank you so much.”
“Manager Liu is very polite. Let’s make a contract and sign it. But since we have placed the item with you, I don’t have to pay the 1.8 million for today’s purchase, do I? Or even better, this Jade of the Goddess of Mercy and this bronze tripod, the market price is exactly 1.8 million. The other three are also here.” Su Jing.
“Of course this is possible.” After thinking for a while, Manager Liu nodded again and again and quickly got a contract, and the two signed it happily. The end result is that Su Jing didn’t spend a penny, but the three antiques worth 2.7 Million Yuan in the store have become his.
This made Xiao Rui couldn’t stop giving thumbs up and admired the Third Brother for being really high, and Lin Hao and Zhao Xiaobao were also in the same boat. This is the real expert. They have been in the antique world for so many years, and they couldn’t even compare to him. At the same time, they also have to sigh, how can someone listen to Manager Liu’s words to choose the real product? They have been here so many times and they didn’t know that Manager Liu is so nice.
