Chapter 345 Transaction Completed
Su Xing followed the middle-aged man to the backyard of Zhenbaozhai and entered a glass greenhouse.
There are many flowers blooming in the greenhouse. Through the glass, white snow is still piled on the red walls and green tiles outside. The contrast between the two seasons inside and outside is sharp and elegant.
A young man in a white shirt was watering the flowers with a kettle, with his back to Su Xing and the middle-aged man.
"Young Master, Miss Su is here."
The young man put down the kettle and turned around. It was Shen Bai.
Shen Bai smiled at Su Xing and said, "Miss Su, we meet again."
Su Xing nodded to Shen Bai, "Hello, Mr. Shen."
Shen Bai made a "please" gesture to Su Xing, "Ms. Su, please come this way."
He led Su to a tea table, "Please sit down."
The two sat down.
Su Xing opened his backpack, took out two pieces of ancient porcelain and placed them on the table.
"Mr. Shen, these are the two pieces of porcelain that have been repaired."
"Okay, I'll ask our appraiser to take a look." Shen Bai said to Su Xing, and then said to the middle-aged man: "Uncle Liu, see if Master Li is here, ask him to come over."
"Okay." Uncle Liu responded and turned to leave.
Shen Bai wiped his hands with a wet towel and asked Su Xing, "What would you like to drink, Miss Su?"
Su Xing said: "Thank you, I can do anything."
Shen Bai rummaged through the small refrigerator next to him and pulled out a box of Tieguanyin. "Try this Tieguanyin? It was given to me by a friend. I think it's pretty good."
Su Xing, "Okay."
Shen Bai took a Xishi teapot made of Duan Ni and started to make tea.
Su Xing noticed that his movements were smooth, graceful and skillful, and it was obvious that he was a tea drinker.
She was a little puzzled. This person and Cao Yang didn't seem to be the same kind of people. How did they become friends?
Shen Bai used the fairness cup to divide the tea between Su Xing's tea cup and his own host cup.
"Try it."
Su Xing tapped his fingers on the table three times, performing the habitual finger-knocking gesture among peers.
Shen Bai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw Su Xing's actions.
Su Xing picked it up and took a sip.
Shen Bai, "How do you feel?"
Su Xing said: "It's fresh, sweet, and has a distinct floral and fruity aroma. It's very good."
This is a light-fragrant Tieguanyin with very good quality.
Shen Bai laughed, "Miss Su also likes to drink tea?"
Su Xing, "Drink a little occasionally."
In fact, she always brings a tea and water separator cup with her when she goes to class or studies.
But she didn't have the time or the place to slowly brew and taste tea using a teapot and a covered bowl.
The two chatted for a while, and then Master Li came.
"Boss Xiao Shen, are you looking for me?"
Shen Bai said, "Miss Su brought two pieces of porcelain, which were repaired after being broken. Mr. Li, please take a look."
As he spoke, he changed the cup of tea.
Master Li said, "Oh? Let me see."
Su Xing pushed the two pieces of porcelain in front of Master Li, "Hello, Master Li, these are the two pieces of porcelain."
Master Li took a magnifying glass and a strong flashlight and examined it carefully. "This is a pastel-colored pen holder. It's OK to repair. But this doucai jar, oh, what a pity... If it's not damaged, it can be sent to an auction house for a very good price..."
After inspecting the two pieces of porcelain, Master Li said, "These two items are pretty well restored. They are very talented and smart, but some of the details are not handled well enough. The restorer should have been in the industry for less than two years, right?"
Su Xing said a little embarrassedly: "I repaired it. I just learned ancient porcelain restoration not long ago."
As soon as she said this, the greenhouse suddenly became quiet.
Shen Bai and Master Li both looked at Su Xing in surprise.
Master Li guessed that it was probably repaired by a young restorer, but he didn't expect it to be the work of the little girl in front of him!
Shen Bai originally thought that Su Xing asked her teacher to repair these two antiques, but she didn't expect that she actually repaired them herself!
He reached out, picked up the pastel pencil holder, and began to examine it carefully.
He looked at the pen holder in front of him, which showed almost no signs of repair with the naked eye, and still found it a little unbelievable.
Master Li looked at Su Xing and asked, "Who is your teacher, little girl?"
Su Xing said: "I am a student at the School of Cultural Heritage and Museum Studies of Peking University, and I am studying cultural relic protection technology."
Master Li asked again: "Oh? What year are you in?"
Su Xing replied: "Freshman."
Master Li, Shen Bai: "..."
Is the Peking University Cultural and Museum College so awesome? ?
A freshman has such a high level of repair? !
Shen Bai put down the pen holder in his hand and looked at Su Xing, "Are your freshman courses so advanced? Have you started learning practical restoration?"
Su Xing said, "No, I wanted to repair these objects, so after obtaining the professor's consent, I followed my senior brothers and sisters in the laboratory to learn for a while."
A while? ?
Shen Bai and Master Li had complicated expressions and didn't want to ask about this topic anymore.
"Are you ready to sell this pen holder and the jar?" Shen Bai asked Su Xing.
Su Xing nodded, "Yes."
Shen Bai said: "Then I'll give you 800,000 for these two things. What do you think of this price?"
Master Li stared at Shen Bai with eyes wide open.
Why is the young master giving such a random price?
If these two items had not been damaged, they would certainly be worth the 800,000 yuan.
But now this is an item that has been repaired after being damaged, so the price is too high!
Su Xing didn't expect Shen Bai to offer such a price.
She was stunned for two seconds and said, "But... these two antiques have been restored..."
The price estimated by Mr. Tang at the time was that the market price of the Yongzheng doucai porcelain jar was about 850,000 yuan, and the pastel pen holder was about 30,000 yuan, with a total value of 880,000 yuan.
This is the estimated price for non-damaged items.
What she brought to Zhenbaozhai now was a restored piece, and the price Shen Bai gave was only 80,000 lower than the original?
Shen Bai smiled at Su Xing and said, "Miss Su, are you afraid that I will lose money?"
Without waiting for Su Xing to speak, he continued, "Don't worry, I'm a businessman and I won't do business at a loss. Although these two items are restored, there are many restored antiques that are sold at sky-high prices nowadays. I will definitely make some money by sending these two items to auction."
Master Li's mouth twitched slightly. Which businessman would not make extra money but instead give up profits?
Su Xing said "Oh?" and also felt it was a bit strange.
Shen Bai said, "Just treat it as making friends. If Miss Su has anything good to sell in the future, please give priority to our Zhenbaozhai."
Su Xing finally nodded, "OK."
The deal was done.
Shen Bai called the front desk and asked them to send over two transaction contracts.
After both parties signed the contract, Shen Bai asked the finance department to transfer the money to Su Xing as soon as possible.
After the transaction was completed, Shen Bai suddenly said, "Miss Su, let's have dinner together. There is a good Beijing restaurant nearby."
Su Xing refused, "No, the exam is coming up, I have to go back to school and study hard."
Shen Bai, "Okay."
He knew this was Su Xing's excuse, but she had already refused, so he couldn't force it.
