1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 193 News of the Bronze Ware 【Subscription】

Sun Zhangyan then took out five or six more things from the two people behind him, each of which surprised Luo Tao and Mr. Wang. These things were all jade Huang, Yu Yuan, Yu Long, Jade Bi and other items.

These things are not something that ordinary people can own and use. They are not things used in sacrifices, but they are representatives of powerful people.

Seeing these things, Luo Tao secretly thought that this group of people would not have stolen a big tomb!
"Sun Zhangyan takes the liberty to ask, these things are all pitfalls, right?" Luo Tao's tone was quite playful.

When Sun Zhangyan heard Luo Tao's words, he didn't make any movements or expressions. The two people behind him stepped forward and stared at Luo Tao. Seeing this, Xu Le and Qizi quickly stepped forward to protect Luo Tao and Mr. Wang.

"Step back, what are you doing? You don't understand the rules at all. Don't you know that Mr. Luo is a guest?" Sun Zhang didn't even look back, and coldly reprimanded the two people behind him.

They were also a little afraid of him, and knowing that the scene was enough at this time, they retreated.

Luo Tao just smiled when he saw this. They were just playing red and white faces. Their purpose was just to give Luo Tao a warning, which meant that there was no rule in the industry to ask for the truth. Luo Tao's move was a bit over the line.

Luo Tao also waved his hand to ask Xu Le and Qizi to retreat.

"Don't blame Sun Zhangyan. This thing, Mr. Luo, is intentional but not courageous. We have been in Chang'an for a while, and we have heard some things. Some things are causing quite a stir. Please forgive me!"

Luo Tao cupped his hand and spoke softly, meaning this thing is hot. If I want it, don't pay a sky-high price.

As a veteran, Sun Zhangyan could naturally hear what Luo Tao meant, but he was not a young man. He was easily frightened by Luo Tao. Now it was just a matter of seeing who could hold his nerve.

"Mr. Luo, you can't control the wind and rain, but it can't stop people holding umbrellas to go out. The things are right here. Who else knows about them except you and me?"

What this said is that as long as there is profit to be made, there will be people who dare to risk their lives even if there is a knife from the sky.

"Hehe, Sun Zhangyan is really good at talking. I was a little moved by your persuasion. But I don't know how much you are willing to take all of them."

Luo Tao also wanted to buy it, but he didn't want to pay a high price. Don't talk about benevolence and righteousness for people like them. Trapping and assassinating them was an ancestral tradition.

"Haha, if Mr. Luo shoots him with one shot, what will happen to Mr. Luo because of how refreshing he is?"

This term refers to 1 yuan. In the past, when negotiating prices in the industry, we would always use the "Qiankun in the sleeve" method, which means holding hands to compare prices, and how much you want, how much you want, without saying anything about bargaining.

If you don't know this unique skill, then others will definitely curse you behind your back when doing business.But now people don't pay much attention to this, but speaking slang is passed down.

When it comes to price, there are Fang, Diao and Zhang.

In ancient times, coins were made in units of one thousand coins. Later, it generally referred to 1000 yuan. According to Zhang, it now refers to the maximum amount of a ticket. Before the appearance of one hundred yuan, it now refers to ten yuan.

This is just one of the ways to say it. There is also another way of saying it, which is in terms of cents, jiao, and chunks. We say cents but actually it represents yuan. The following jiaos and chunks are all tens left over the original amount. Usually we say 1 yuan. A hand is also called a bucket of water.

Sun Zhangyan said that one party costs 1 yuan. Luo Tao was not too surprised by this, but on the contrary, it was a bit strange. The price was a bit low!
Although I have never been exposed to this industry in my previous life, I am not unfamiliar with it. I have learned more or less from newspapers and news. Now there are many people in Chang'an taking raw materials to the south and selling them to people in Guangdong Province. Once it changes hands, it can become a household worth ten thousand yuan. How come the price is so low when it comes to your place?

This seemingly insignificant good thing made Luo Tao realize that there is no free lunch in this world.

"Hehehe, Sun Zhangyan, this price is astronomical. I think six hangings is enough, and I don't have extra money to bring with me when I go out. If it's too much, I can only say goodbye to Sun Zhangyan. .”

"Mr. Luo is really good at joking. There are too few six hangings. You are an expert and you understand the value of this thing. Besides, Mr. Luo, you are not like a poor man who is short of money. In my opinion, this thing should be sold like this, Mr. Luo." In the hands of others, if it falls into the hands of others, it will be a bit like a pearl covered in dust." This old guy really knows how to flatter people, and his mouth became much sweeter when he talked about the price.

"Haha, Sun Zhangyan is overrated. How about we each take a step back?"

Luo Tao can suppress a little bit, after all, his money is not blown by strong winds.

Sun Zhangyan blinked slightly, pondered for a moment, then said with a smile: "It's an honor for me to meet an expert like Mr. Luo today. I think I have made Mr. Luo as my friend."

"Sun Zhang's eyes are bright, but I don't have so much cash with me. Can you ask my teacher to go back and get it?"

"Oh, of course, but it's too dangerous for Mr. Wang to go back alone. Why don't you let my nephew accompany you? He can take care of Mr. Wang along the way. I wonder what Mr. Luo wants?"

He pointed at the thin man behind him. He was as long as a stick, but he was not frail. He was probably so skinny that only his muscles were left.

When Luo Tao heard what he said, he had to call him an old fox secretly because he was afraid that Mr. Wang would report the case to the Public Security Bureau while he was borrowing money.

"Hahaha, Sun Zhangyan is too polite. In this case, it will be a big help to this brother. But my husband doesn't ride much, so I want my two little brothers to accompany me."

Luo Tao was worried that Mr. Wang would go back alone. Although he knew that he was a little skilled, he still couldn't let the old man charge forward.

"Oh, that's my care, why not let this stronger little brother do it!"

Sun Zhangyan was also thinking about it, and he didn't mean nothing when he said this.

Luo Tao turned to look at Xu Le, whom he had designated. There was no emotion or anger on the boy's face. Seeing Luo Tao looking at him, he nodded with a smile.

When Mr. Wang and others left, Luo Tao said a few words to Mr. Wang, asking him to be optimistic about the antiques he bought at Baofengzhai and be careful not to touch them.

Luo Tao and Sun Zhangyan stood up and left the pavilion to watch the three of them leave. After they left, they turned back and chatted to take the opportunity to learn about the current situation in their industry.

I learned that they are really like bamboo shoots springing up after the rain, emerging on the land of Shaanxi Province.

I also got some news from Sun Zhangyan that someone will sell a batch of bronzes in half a month.

"Sun Zhangyan, is this news true or false?" Luo Tao was very interested in this.

"Of course it's true. This can't be a joke. Maybe Mr. Luo also wants to take a look." Sun Zhangyan said softly with a smile on his face.

"I'm very interested, but I don't know if Sun Zhangyan can take Luo with him."

"Since Mr. Luo is interested, how can I refuse? How about I inform Mr. Luo when the time comes?"

When this was confirmed, the two stopped talking about antiques and started talking about Chang'an's historical sites. Luo Tao really admired this person after this encounter.
