Chapter 282
Then the two continued to stroll, and the brown bear and others were not far away to watch out.They walked into an antique shop again, and Li Mo was immediately attracted by the items displayed inside. This shop was relatively large, basically the size of the two spaces of the shop next door, and it was neatly displayed, half of which were porcelain from the East, and half They are oil paintings, sketches, and there are two layers of glass shelves inside the counter, with lights shining on them.

Different styles of jewelry and gold jewelry are placed on the glass shelves. From the perspective of style, they are all complicated in craftsmanship and bright in color. Compared with modern jewelry that emphasizes minimalist style, these jewelry displayed are more retro.

Moreover, the boss and clerks here are very formally dressed, wearing clean white gloves, smiling at every customer who enters the store, with a soft voice and politeness.

To be honest, Li Mo is very satisfied with the environment here, and he also sees that as long as customers make inquiries, they will basically close the deal in the end.

"Hello, are you Chinese from the East?" A blond woman in her 20s with ponytails and exquisite makeup came over and asked with a smile. She spoke Chinese well and was relatively fluent.

"Huaxia speaks quite well." Li Mo looked at the blond woman who was about to be as tall as him, and also smiled, but the smell of perfume on her body was a bit strong, which made him a little uncomfortable.

"I have been self-study for a few years, and I am not very good at speaking."

Li Mo nodded, and then he looked, the porcelain in this antique shop is very good in terms of appearance and workmanship, and it is comparable to the high-quality imitations in Gu Yunxuan.Even if such porcelain can't fool Chinese tourists, it is still enough to confuse other tourists.

"Can I have a look at this?" Li Mo pointed to a jar with blue and white fruit pattern.

"Of course." The blond woman took down the porcelain, please put it on the round table in the negotiation area, and then motioned for him to look at it.

Li Mo looked at it for 2 minutes, then raised his head and asked, "How much is this?"

"Three thousand euros."

Calculated to be more than 2 yuan, Li Mo put down the porcelain and said, "Keep this for me first, and I will look at other porcelains, and then how about negotiating the price together?"

"Of course, this way please."

The blond woman is very happy.

Qu Yang didn't follow, but stood by the round table. In his eyes, this blue-and-white porcelain, which was not too big, had a high probability of being genuine.

Li Mo picked three more porcelains, and when he walked to the oil painting area, he just looked at them with different pupils out of the mentality of not letting them go, and suddenly a light blue halo was transmitted from a landscape oil painting, and formed a circle of light that spread around, According to this dating, the painting hanging on the wall has a history of at least 500 years.

Moreover, his artistic achievements are quite high, but it is a pity that he has not yet started to identify these Western arts.If Professor Qu and his wife were here, they might be able to identify one or two.

This is the first oil painting of great artistic value that Li Motao found. He didn't stop, and after looking at the remaining oil paintings and sketches, he asked the blond woman next to him, pointing to an oil painting and said, "These Regardless of the price of the oil painting, I think the paintings are all good, if the price is right, I will pick one or two to take home and hang them at home for decoration.”

"Sir, these oil paintings also depend on their size. The larger ones are worth [-] euros, and the smaller ones are worth about [-] euros."

Li Mo nodded slightly, which meant that the most expensive one was around 21 yuan.

"It's a bit expensive. We have oil painting art studios like this in China. An oil painting over there, um, is about the same size as that one, and the content of the landscape painting is only more than 4000 euros. It's not worth buying here."

The blond woman still smiled and said: "Sir, if you like that painting, I can apply for a discount with the boss. Most of the oil paintings in our store are purchased from modern artists, and a small part will be purchased from the collection. Buy it from the hands of the buyer, both in terms of artistry and value content are much higher."

"I admit that."

Li Mo pointed to the next two oil paintings in a row and said, "I'll take those two paintings for 1 euros, and the four porcelains I selected, totaling [-] euros, a total of [-] euros."

Li Mo directly cut the price of porcelain by two-thirds, but he really didn't know how to cut the price of oil paintings, after all, he had no experience to refer to.

"Sir, please wait a moment."

The blond woman was still unhurried. Seeing that her expression had not changed, Li Mo thought that he was not hard enough bargaining.They should have experienced a lot in this way of bargaining, and they already have a minimum standard line in their hearts.

Li Mo sat on the stool next to the round table, and then saw the blonde woman who received them talking with a man in his 50s. That should be the boss. He glanced this way, and then raised his voice three minutes , seems to be criticizing the woman.

"Boss, you are a bit ruthless in bargaining. The owner of the antique store is a little angry, saying that he has not even recovered the cost. Let the blonde woman ask you, if you really want to buy it, at least [-] euros."

Qu Yang quietly translated at the side.

"I see."

Sure enough, the woman walked over with a slightly depressed face, and said the boss's words apologetically.

Li Mo was thinking.

After 2 minutes, he said: "I don't want the four porcelains. How much are the two paintings? I will buy the porcelains when I return to China."

"If you just buy oil paintings, it will cost at least [-] euros."

"According to what you mean, these four porcelains are worth two thousand euros, okay, then I will buy these four porcelains and pack them for me."

What kind of bargaining method is this? It's a miracle.Not only Qu Yang was stunned for a moment, but even the smiling blonde woman was also stunned.But Li Mo couldn't find any loopholes to refute what Li Mo said, after all, it was based on their thinking.

"This this."

"That's fine, I won't make it difficult for you. I'll choose another oil painting. The total is [-] euros. If it's okay, I'll pay. You can apply to your boss again. You must know that the most important thing here is porcelain and oil paintings. And so on. If you don’t do my business, the owner of the antique shop will naturally do it.”

After going back and forth, it was finally sold for [-] euros.

The owner of the antique shop is happy, Li Mo is even happier, and everyone wins.

The paintings are carefully protected in wooden frames by the store staff. They also provide delivery service, but it is not free.

Li Mo declined, and then called two brothers to ask them to send the things back to the hotel for protection.

"Boss, is that painting also an antique?"

"Perhaps, I had a strange feeling when I saw that painting, so I bought it. Your parents are the authority in the appreciation of Western oil paintings. When you return to China, ask them to see if there is anything real. origin?"

Qu Yang looked a little embarrassed. His parents were both professors at Peking University, and they were quite accomplished in Western art. Unfortunately, his son didn't inherit any of it.

"Boss, where are the four porcelains?"

"One palace-made porcelain from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, one from the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, and the other two from the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. Qu Yang, it is really worthwhile for us to come this time."

Li Mo had his hands behind his back, and he walked with great vigor.

After only two visits, I found a tiger amulet with a wrong silver inscription in the Han Dynasty, a pair of Qing Qianlong Jin Ou Yonggu cups, and seven genuine porcelains.

If time permits, he will visit all of London.
