The middle-aged man in his thirties quickly came forward and greeted Manager Liu and Mr. Liang with a smile and was very respectful.
"Uncle Liu, Uncle Liang, you are both here! I haven't seen you for a while. How are you at home?"
Obviously, this middle-aged man knew both old men, otherwise he would not have greeted them like this.
After greeting the two old men, this man also nodded to Ye Tian, with a bit of curiosity in his eyes, not understanding his identity and why he was here.
Ye Tianchong nodded to the other party as a greeting, but did not speak. He just glanced at the black lacquered gold box in his hand.
The box was square, about thirty centimeters long, wide, and high. It was close to a cube. It looked a little older, and it radiated a dazzling red light in Ye Tian's eyes. It was more than 120 years old.
What is in the box is unknown for now! Ye Tian did not choose clairvoyance. The answer should be revealed soon, so why wait in a hurry!
But one thing he was sure of was that the box contained no antiques, because there was no light coming out!
"Everything is fine at home, please forgive me! Xiao Chen, why do you have time to come to our Rongbaozhai today to hang out? You are not busy with things in the company?"
Mr. Liang nodded and greeted the other party, his behavior was quite polite.
"Isn't this Nian Gen? There is basically no business, so I might as well take a break early! I came to Rongbaozhai today because I have something to ask you two to help me estimate the price of the items in this box!"
Xiao Chen explained a few reasons, then sat down on the sofa and placed the black lacquered gold box in his hand on the coffee table.
After hearing these words, Manager Liu and Mr. Liang suddenly showed expressions on their faces, and their eyes were a little helpless.
"Seeing you come in with a box, we knew that you were here to sell something or ask us to estimate it. Sure enough, I guessed it right!
Open the box and let us open your eyes! Let's see what kind of good treasure it is. Can I give you an accurate valuation? It's hard to tell now. You can only know by looking at it.
The antiques that Lao Chen has spent decades and energy collecting are almost gone, right? What a pity! It would be great to continue collecting them, why are they all sold? "
Manager Liu said with a wry smile, his face full of regret and a little distressed.
The same is true for Mr. Liang, with regrets and memories in his eyes.
Yes! This is a prodigal son who sells his father's land! The old Chen mentioned by Manager Liu must be this old man and an old friend of Manager Liu and Mr. Liang.
Moreover, this old Chen is most likely dead, so the person in front of me can sell it off without any concern that this is a treasure that I have spent decades collecting.
In an instant, Ye Tian roughly understood the situation.
But this matter had nothing to do with him, so he had no business to interrupt, so he could only sit aside and watch.
Of course, if the object in the black lacquered gold box is good and makes his heart move, he will not let go of such an opportunity!
Take action when it’s time to take action! No matter who it belonged to before, it belongs to my buddy from now on!
"Uncle Liu, Uncle Liang, I also know that this is the behavior of a prodigal. After all, the old man passed away less than two years ago, and the treasures he spent half his life and energy collecting have almost been emptied by me!
But I have no idea! Except for the old man, everyone in our family is a layman. They basically know nothing about antiques and artworks, and have no interest in studying these treasures and learning relevant knowledge.
Instead of shelving them, it is better to sell them and transfer them to people who like them, so that they can get what they want. We can collect these antiques and art works, and we will get the corresponding money, which is the best of both worlds!
My company's business has not been doing well in the past two years. It has been unable to make ends meet and has owed a lot of debts. Isn't this bad! Debtors are coming to your door again, so I can only sell things to pay off the debt, but it’s better to have a clean year! "
Xiao Chen explained with a wry smile, looking rather embarrassed.
"That's true. In the eyes of laymen who don't like antiques and art, these treasures really don't have much value, let alone caring for and collecting them. It seems better to resell them.
In the antique shop in Beijing, your old man is a well-known figure, and his eyesight is nothing to say. It is a pity that you juniors have not inherited it at all. What a pity!
The same goes for you kid. If you are a good civil servant and do not want to go out and mess around, you must be stupid now! Not to mention that I didn’t make any money, but I also included these treasures in it! I don’t know what you think! "
"The situation is already like this, and there is no point in regretting it! For the sake of my old man and you two, I would like to ask you to help me estimate the price of this object!
With you two being such a master, I will know better when I go back to resell this item, so as not to be scammed! You two also know that when it comes to antiques, I am a stick! "
"It's okay to help you, but have you found a good buyer? It's New Year's Day now, and everyone is setting up tents to celebrate the New Year. There are not many people to receive the goods, and there is no chance of sending them for photos!
If it were another day and the goods were good, we, Rongbaozhai, might be able to take them, but as you know, we are open for business, and the purchase price will definitely not be high.
You have to raise money to pay off your debts again. The amount is probably not small, and you are definitely not willing to sell it to us, Rongbaozhai. Therefore, we can only give you a rough estimate and not sell it! ”
"Understood! I would be very grateful if you two could help me and give you a rough estimate. Just don't let me be cheated. I don't dare to ask for anything else. I will find the buyer myself.
Just now a buddy called me to tell me that a big spender came to Liulichang East Street. He brought his family and a few foreigners, spoke fluent English, and was shopping for goods!
According to my buddy, those people are probably from the United States. They buy things just because they like them. As long as they like something they like, they basically don’t negotiate much on the price, and they pay very happily! There was a sensation all over East Street.
It was after receiving this news that I rushed to Liulichang with this object. First, I asked you two to help estimate the price, and then I went to find the stick from the United States to see if I could kill the stick.
If you can make a lot of money, that would be great! In addition to paying off debts, maybe I can also have a good year! Even if you can't sell the item, as long as you can sell it at the market price, that's not bad.
Although I don’t know much about antiques, I still have confidence in my old man’s vision. This is definitely a rare treasure! It's definitely a hundred times better than what Bao Fu Zhai has in his hands! "
Xiao Chen said excitedly, eyes full of longing.
But he did not notice the stunned expressions of Manager Liu and Mr. Liang when they heard these words, and the smiles that appeared in their eyes afterwards.
The same goes for Ye Tian, who smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly, his face full of helplessness.
Yes! Dude is being used as a mallet! Everyone is holding back their desire to kill them with a knife, pointing at themselves to celebrate the New Year!
How do you say this? When did my brother become a fat sheep to be slaughtered? It’s really a treatment I’ve never had before!
As soon as Xiao Chen finished speaking, Manager Liu and Mr. Liang burst into laughter.
"Hahaha"
While laughing, the two old men looked at Ye Tian, their eyes full of teasing, you guys have this day too!
Xiao Chen was a little confused and didn’t understand why the two old men were laughing. What’s so funny about this? Isn't this kind of thing very common in the antique shop? Everyone loves Bang Chui!
Soon, his doubts were answered.
"Brother Chen, I'm sorry, I must be that stickman from the United States you mentioned. The people who were sweeping goods on Liulichang East Street were me, my family, and two bodyguards.
A few of my family members were in the exhibition hall upstairs, admiring the paintings and calligraphy works there. I was buying something downstairs, and accidentally alerted two old men, and then I ran into you again!
Since you are here for me, I can't spoil your interest. I can take a look at the items you brought. If the items are good and really make me excited, then I don't mind being used as a hammer! "
Ye Tian said with a chuckle, not minding at all that the other party called him Bang Chui.
Who is Bang Chui! It all depends on your eyesight, everything else is nonsense!
"Ah! It's you!"
Xiao Chen exclaimed, his eyes widened, and he stared at Ye Tian dumbfounded.
His face changed instantly. He was as red as a monkey's butt. He was so embarrassed that he wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl in. It would be so embarrassing!
"Hahaha"
The two old men burst into laughter and were so happy that they could not sit still and staggered around.
"That's right! It's me, I'm the American mallet!"
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, giving a positive answer.
The laughter suddenly became louder, and Xiao Chen became even more embarrassed.
The eyes of everyone in the lobby on the first floor of Rongbaozhai were attracted, and everyone looked this way.
After a while, the laughter stopped, and Xiao Chen blushed and began to apologize.
"I'm so sorry, little brother, I heard what others said. I really didn't know it was you. Please forgive me. I'm so sorry!"
"There's no need to apologize, Brother Chen. I'm quite familiar with these things in the antique shop. Who wouldn't want to kill someone stupid and rich with a stick? It's perfectly normal!
Not only you, but probably many people on Liulichang East Street think the same way. I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint you. I’m somewhat of an antiques connoisseur, and I’m sure there’s no chance of killing me with a knife! "
Ye Tian said jokingly, with a very relaxed expression.
As soon as he finished speaking, Manager Liu immediately said with a smile:
"You actually treat this kid like a mallet! How blind do you have to be? Just don't do it! In the entire Liulichang and the entire antique shop, there are not many people with sharper eyesight and sophistication than this kid.
Xiao Chen, even if your old man is alive, his eyesight cannot match that of this kid. Are you treating him like a mallet? Then wait to be deceived. I'm sure that many people on East Street have been deceived! "
Hearing this, Xiao Chen exclaimed again.
"Ah! Co-author, you are a top antique art appraisal expert!"
