Wake up suddenly, back to the time when my wife and daughter had an accident

Chapter 397

Qiao Yan is a manager who specializes in antiques. He wears a very Western-style suit, a watch, leather shoes, and his hair is combed very neatly. You can tell from his dress that he belongs to the Western school.

"Show it to me."

Hou Bingde didn't know Meng Haisheng. He had only heard of his name. When they met, he didn't even look at Meng Haisheng.

But Meng Haisheng knew him.

Meng Haisheng has always been rigorous in doing things. If he wants to deal with Hou Bingde, he must recognize him clearly.

"Okay."

Qiao Yan walked behind the counter very warmly, put the "Qing Qianlong Enamel Yellow Ground Opening Rouge Red Color Landscape Pattern Bowl" on a large black velvet tray, and gently placed it on the counter next to Hou Bingde.

Hou Bingde only took a look, but didn't touch it, but asked an old man next to him to take a look first.

The old man took a magnifying glass and looked at every pattern on the big wrist inch by inch.

Meng Haisheng watched everything calmly from the side.

He suddenly remembered that he had seen the introduction of this rouge-red landscape bowl in an auction house in his previous life.

That was in 1997, and the landscape bowl was finally sold for more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars.

According to the current price, 30,000 foreign exchange is about 90,000 yuan. After 10 years, 90,000 yuan will become more than 20 million yuan. This speed of making money is definitely not something he can catch up with in the industry.

Meng Haisheng would naturally not let Hou Bingde take away such a good opportunity to make money.

He quickly calculated in his mind and suddenly remembered a detail. When he bought the jade pendant just now, the salesperson said that the jade pendant was from the Qianlong period.

This is obviously fooling an honest person.

The country does not allow the sale of antiques from the Qianlong period now. The salesperson said so just now, and it is obvious that he is used to fooling foreigners.

In other words, the landscape bowl is likely to be a replica.

Of course, this is just the expert's opinion, otherwise it would not be put on sale in the Friendship Store.

The truth is that the landscape bowl is a genuine product, otherwise it would not have been sold for more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars after two auctions.

Thinking of this, Meng Haisheng finally had an idea.

"Old man, do you think this Qianlong landscape bowl is genuine?"

The old man who was looking at it carefully raised his head and looked at Meng Haisheng.

"It's a bit hard to say."

After the old man said this, Meng Haisheng immediately became more determined that his guess was correct.

Meng Haisheng smiled.

"Although the country allows the sale of some antiques now, they are all made after the 60th year of Qianlong, and most of them are from the late Qing Dynasty. It is obvious that this landscape bowl could not have been made by the emperor during the Qianlong period."

"From what I have seen, this rouge red landscape bowl should have been imitated during the Republic of China."

"At that time, it was a mess and no one cared. Some people imitated a batch of imperial porcelain in the palace in an attempt to cheat foreigners of their money."

Meng Haisheng glanced at Manager Qiao Yan with a smile.

Just now, Qiao Yan said that the tens of thousands of yuan was a scam to foreigners, and the 30,000 yuan he gave to Hou Bingde was the real price. In fact, he was completely fooling Hou Bingde.

Hou Bingde was the one who complained the most. Qiao Yan must have known that the large bowl with landscape pattern was a replica, not a genuine Qianlong product, so he said so.

Since Qiao Yan was deceiving Hou Bingde, he might as well cheat him. Maybe it would work.

Qiao Yan smiled a little embarrassedly after his little thoughts were exposed by Meng Haisheng.

"Even if it is a replica of the Republic of China, it is still an antique. As long as you don't say it and I don't say it, who can tell it is a replica?"

Qiao Yan was shocked by Meng Haisheng, and he admitted it with a guilty conscience.

Meng Haisheng was secretly happy, it seems that he might have found a bargain today.

Hou Bingde almost fainted when he heard Qiao Yan say this.

"Qiao Yan, do you think I'm a fool? Didn't this comrade see at a glance that it was a replica made during the Republic of China?"

"If I give someone a fake and they find out, will I still have any face left?"

"Second Master, don't be angry. No one can say whether this landscape bowl is a replica or not. What if it's real? You'll get a big bargain."

Qiao Yan tried his best to promote this deal. After all, the landscape bowl had been on the shelf for a long time, and several groups of foreigners came but couldn't sell it.

Not all foreigners are fools. After all, the country explicitly prohibits the sale of antiques before the 60th year of Qianlong.

"Keep it for your own fun. Hurry up and bring me a real porcelain. Don't fool me with some fancy and uncertain things. "

Hou Bingde was already very impatient. He had to meet his old boss at noon today, and he didn't have time to waste time here with Qiao Yan.

Qiao Yan saw that he couldn't convince Hou Bingde, so he could only put the landscape bowl aside and choose the porcelain that Hou Bingde wanted.

In the end, Hou Bingde chose a relatively large vase. Although it was not produced by the palace, it was also produced by the official kiln.The good stuff was not cheap, of course, and he spent more than 40,000 yuan.

Meng Haisheng, who was standing by, thought that Hou Bingde might want to use his connections to sell the TV. This time, he really spent a lot of money, and the gift alone cost more than 100,000 yuan.

Qiao Yan smiled and sent Hou Bingde away. When he turned around and saw Meng Haisheng was still there, his face was not very good.

"Comrade, what do you want?"

"Manager Qiao, can you give me the landscape bowl at a lower price?"

"Like you said, although it is a replica, it was also a replica made by a master in the Republic of China. I don't care about antiques or not. As long as it looks good, I want it."

Qiao Yan, who had a dark face just now, immediately smiled when he heard that Meng Haisheng wanted a landscape bowl.

"What's your name, comrade?"

"My last name is Meng."

"Comrade Meng, this is it. We don't know whether the landscape bowl is genuine or a replica, but the price is non-negotiable."

"Even if it is a replica, such a beautiful 'enameled yellow ground with rouge red landscape bowl' is rare."

Meng Haisheng and Qiao Yan talked for a long time, and finally Qiao Yan made a concession and closed the deal at 30,000 yuan.

Qiao Yan personally packed for Meng Haisheng, and while packing, he muttered that the landscape bowl was very likely to be a genuine one, and asked Meng Haisheng to find someone else to identify it.

When at the Friendship Store, Lin Mucheng didn't speak the whole time and stood behind Meng Haisheng.

Although she didn't have any communication with Meng Haisheng, she vaguely felt that Meng Haisheng was playing tricks again.

Because every time she saw Meng Haisheng's lips curled, she knew he was up to no good.

The two just got in the car.

"Haisheng, tell me the truth, is this big bowl real or fake?"

"Of course it's real, otherwise why would I spend a hundred thousand to buy a bowl."

Meng Haisheng agreed very readily, and Lin Mucheng beside him widened his eyes instantly.

"Haisheng, what did you do just now?"

"I just deliberately blew Hou Bingde away. How could I give him such a good opportunity to pick up a bargain."

"Wait, that person just now was Hou Bingde?"

"Yes, it was Hou Bingde who almost killed you just now."

"It was him who caused our Lin family to suffer for several years?"

"Well, Mucheng has me, I will make Hou Bingde pay for what he did before."
