Chapter 272 Temporary Price Increase
"You are brought here by Brother Haoming, I have to give him face."
"If you like it, this number will do."
Sure enough, Pu Nongdong made the "seven" gesture again.
I mean seventy dollars will be enough.
Compared to the price he just quoted, it was reduced by twenty yuan.
"Uncle Pu, you are such an open-minded person."
Yang Haoming tactfully gave a thumbs up and secretly gave Chen Jianye a look.
He indicated that seventy yuan was too expensive for this thing, and if he wanted to buy it, he could bargain.
Antiques can’t be sold at a high price these days.
On the contrary, gold is more valuable.
There is an old saying that goes, antiques are valuable in prosperous times, and gold is valuable in troubled times.
Although it is a peaceful time now, it is still far from the level of a prosperous era.
The vast majority of people are in a state of barely making ends meet, and most of the domestic industries are state-owned.
It is difficult to produce rich people.
Without rich people, antiques would naturally not be sold at a high price.
"Haha, I knew it was the right thing to let Haoming bring me here."
Chen Jianye chuckled and pointed the flashlight at another jade bracelet casually: "How much is this thing?"
"You are Brother Haoming's friend, I will tell you the truth."
Pu Nongdong made another gesture.
He indicated that he would just give fifty dollars for the jade bracelet.
Chen Jianye asked about seven or eight antiques in a row, and then the flashlight fell on a small blue and white porcelain bowl with a double dragon grabbing a pearl: "What about this bowl?"
"If you want, that's the number."
Pu Nongdong gestured the number "six".
"wanted."
Chen Jianye replied with a smile.
Faced with an imperial porcelain bowl, he was too lazy to even talk.
If he buys it for 60 dollars now, it will be worth at least 30 million when he passes it on to his children.
With a guaranteed appreciation rate of 500,000 times, even buying a courtyard house will not make as much money as buying antiques.
Moreover, Chen Jianye was certain that the porcelain bowl was genuine, so it was useless to try to bargain.
"Hmm? Brother Jianye, do you want this bowl?"
Pu Nongdong was stunned and a little surprised.
"Yeah Jianye, have you really thought it through?"
Yang Haoming was also shocked.
I thought to myself, brother, you don’t bargain.
Just buy it regardless of the price offered by others. No one collects antiques like you.
If I buy like you do, I'll lose all my pants.
This is not how money is spent.
"I think this small bowl is good. If you like it, just buy it."
Chen Jianye smiled slightly.
Yang Haoming didn't know what to say, after all, Pu Nongdong was standing next to him.
If he opens his mouth to refute now, it would be tantamount to cutting off someone's source of income.
In any industry, cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents, and is a very vengeful thing to do.
It will also affect Yang Haoming's reputation in the antique circle.
Even if Chen Jianye really made a mistake, Yang Haoming could only watch him lose money.
The rules are broken and no one will play with him anymore.
Pu Nongdong looked a little uncomfortable.
He knew clearly which of the items he took out were real and which were fake.
This blue and white porcelain bowl with a pattern of two dragons competing for a pearl is his most treasured treasure.
Putting it here will make it more useful for others to see.
Chen Jianye took a few steps forward and reached out to grab the small blue and white porcelain bowl.
"Brother Jianye, why don't you take a look at other objects."
Pu Nongdong stepped forward quickly and stopped Chen Jianye.
"Uncle Pu, what do you mean?"
"I want this small bowl."
Chen Jianye's face suddenly turned cold.
Cutting off someone's money is like killing one's parents.
This was absolutely true, except that the person whose money was cut off became Chen Jianye.
Yang Haoming had a puzzled look on his face, with a hint of suspicion.
Originally, he thought Chen Jianye was too confident and was going to be tricked by Pu Nong.
Now it seems that it is not what he thought.
"Brother Jianye, I was wrong just now."
"If you really want this bowl, it'll cost you two hundred dollars."
Pu Nongdong changed his words.
"Haha, we three just heard with our own ears that you offered sixty."
Chen Jianye sneered.
"I said, I was wrong just now, I correct it now."
"I'm so sorry."
Pu Nongdong apologized sincerely.
He has no shame when it comes to money.
He didn't even use his hands to gesture, he just said how much it was.
"If you say something wrong, you have to do it according to what you said."
"If someone spends money to buy antiques from you, and then says he bought the wrong one, can you give him a refund?"
Chen Jianye spoke in a firm tone.
He had two hundred yuan. If Pu Nongdong had offered two hundred yuan at the beginning, Chen Jianye would have been able to pay two hundred yuan to buy the blue and white porcelain bowl.
But now Pu Nongdong is raising the price, and Chen Jianye cannot accept it.
"Brother Jianye, we have something to discuss, so don't hold on to my wrong words."
Pu Nongdong's tone also became stiff.
He realized that Chen Jianye must have something and could tell that his small blue and white bowl was the real thing.
So he held on tightly and refused to let go.
Of course, Pu Nongdong couldn't sell the genuine product easily.
If he didn't have a few genuine items in his closet, who would be willing to come here to buy antiques?
"Uncle Pu, you just offered sixty dollars. According to the rules of our circle, even if you made a mistake, you have to sell it at sixty dollars."
"You want to break the rules?"
Yang Haoming quickly added that the rule was oppressive.
We must help Chen Jianye get this small blue and white porcelain bowl at the original price.
"I didn't break the rules. I said something wrong. I'll correct it."
"If you insist on buying it for sixty, then please leave. We can't do business with you today."
Pu Nongdong spoke in a firm tone.
I would rather not sell it than sell the genuine product at a low price.
"Punongdong, if you don't follow the rules, I won't follow the rules with you either."
"If I find someone to report to the police, none of your stuff will be left. Do you believe it?"
Chen Jianye sneered.
"Just report it to the police. Why would I be afraid of you?"
"Do you think I was scared?"
Pu Nongdong looked disdainful.
"Okay, I promise you'll see me at the police station tomorrow."
Chen Jianye gave Qiu Jibin a look and turned to leave.
"Jianye, Jianye, wait a minute."
Qiu Jibin quickly grabbed Chen Jianye, then walked in front of Pu Nongdong and whispered, "Uncle Pu, do you know who is behind Chen Jianye?"
"Who is it? Does he think there's only one person behind him?"
"I have people too."
Pu Nongdong's tone was very firm.
"His cousin is Mei Yubo, the head of the Public Security Bureau."
Qiu Jibin whispered.
Pu Nongdong's body was shocked. Damn, he turned out to be the Public Security Bureau Chief's cousin.
That's kind of amazing.
If he was the leader of the Water Conservancy Bureau or the Education Bureau of the Ministry of Metallurgy, Pu Nongdong didn't care at all.
The Public Security Bureau is a powerful department, and its lethality is recognized to be awesome.
When you go to the police station, you have to lie down like a dragon or crawl like a tiger.
Even if a strong man goes in, he will come out as tough as dough.
"Just think about it. If Jianye finds someone you cheated and reports it to the police, all your stuff will be confiscated by the police, and you might even end up in jail."
"This bowl will eventually fall into Jianye's hands, and he doesn't have to spend a penny."
"People are following the rules now, you have to cherish the opportunity."
Qiu Jibin paused and said.
Pu Nongdong's heart was beating fast.
On one side are family heirlooms, on the other side is imprisonment.
He made a quick decision.
Where there is life, there is hope.
If he was caught and the police smashed his wall of fake goods, would he be able to seek revenge from the police?
"Brother Jianye, I was too impulsive just now. I apologize to you."
"Let's discuss and do the business, what do you think?"
Pu Nongdong was not a man who cared about his reputation, so he quickly became humble.
"There's nothing to discuss. I only accept the price you just quoted."
"Can you sell it? Give me a word."
Chen Jianye's tone remained firm.
If Pu Nongdong insisted on raising the price, Chen Jianye could only teach him a lesson.
Of course, I’m not asking Mei Yubo to borrow people.
He was too embarrassed to ask Mei Yubo for help over such a small matter.
Chen Jianye has made up his mind. If Pu Nongdong doesn't sell it, he will come and pick it up in the evening.
