Tommy took out a box from the cabinet, which was wrapped in a piece of big red cloth. After pulling it open, it turned out to be a bronze statue of Second Master Guan.
Perhaps because Tommy was too angry, he could not speak for a while. He pointed at the bronze statue of the Second Master Guan and gnashed his teeth in anger.
“I heard that this is an antique. It cost more than two million yuan in a silly way. But according to the appraisal of Qian Boyi, this antique is just a decoration. The boss is too dark.”
Brucille held the bronze statue in his hand and studied it carefully. It was at least two to five hundred years away from antiques.
“This thing is all over the street, and you actually believe it’s an antique. I’m full of doubts about your eyes. Not to mention two million yuan, even if it’s twenty thousand yuan, I’m afraid no one wants it, right?”
Tommy said, “Boss Yu of the antique market looks quite honest. I didn’t expect that he would give me a hard time. Brother, since you’re back, you’ll get justice for me tomorrow and smash his shop.”
Seeing that he was filled with righteous indignation, Brucille tried to persuade him, “We are also doing business, so we can’t easily smash other people’s shops. Besides, antiques are sold in our own eyes. Can you blame others for your poor eyesight?”
After hearing Brucille’s words, Tommy was naturally speechless, but the anger in his heart could not be eased for a long time.
Seeing that the Second Master Guan’s anger was rising, he put it back into the box.
Brucille thought for a moment and said, “How about this, let’s go to Mr. Yu’s store tomorrow and see if we can find an opportunity to envy him.”
“Okay.”
The next morning, the two brothers arrived at the antique market. Boss Yu’s shop was neither too big nor too small, at the end of the antique market. Logically speaking, this location was a bit remote. Unless it was an old customer, it was impossible for an ordinary person to find it.
When Boss Yu saw Lu Xiaoguang, he warmly welcomed him.
“President Lu, you’re here. Do you want to find something else?”
Elder Yu pointed to the shelves behind him and said, “Don’t worry. This batch of goods has just arrived in the past few days. Although most of them are ghost goods, there is no problem at all at the auction house.”
“Also, someone sent me a royal robe worn by Zhu Ba two days ago. I’ll show it to you.”
Just hearing the words “Zhuzhu Royal Robe” was basically bullshit. At present, it was almost impossible to see an imperial robe in the antique collection market.
Even if there was, it was probably the kind of new goods that the emperor had never seen in the imperial palace.
That kind of thing didn’t have any value, and the imperial robe was not something that ordinary people couldn’t wear. The imperial robes of each emperor were basically burial items when they died.
It had been buried under the ground for hundreds of years. When it was still intact when it was born, it belonged to one in a million. The royal robe that Mr. Yu took out was extremely brand new, as if it had just been made by the tailor shop next door.
Boss Yu was still full of confidence as he said, “This is a dragon robe worn by Zhu Ba. Look at its workmanship and style. It’s obvious that it belongs to the Ming dynasty.”
Brucille couldn’t be bothered to talk to people like him who were full of chatter. He looked for valuable items in the pile of antiques behind him.
Tommy knew that this thing was fake, but he pretended to want to buy it. Then, he heard Mr. Yu say that his saliva was flying all over the sky, and his mouth was dry. He even kept nodding and bowing to him.
However, what Young Mr. Lu was thinking was, “Little bastard, I’m so tired of you.”
After talking for 20 minutes, Brucille picked up a small blue plate.
The small plate was well-made, and the surface color of the butterfly surface was still intact, but it was as dirty as mud.
Brucille picked up the small dish and put it on the table. He said, “Boss Yu, it’s better to put a teapot for me when I get home. I’ll pay ten yuan.”
“Young Mr. Lu, I’ve said it for a long time. If you buy this Dragon Robe Plate, I’ll give it to you.”
Brucille smiled. “The main material of this dress is golden fiber, and it can also be called as a material. If you think you don’t know enough, you can look at it on Baidu. Things not like royal robes can be called dragon robes.”
“No matter what, you are selling antiques. Is it interesting to talk nonsense with your eyes open?”
“Last time, my brother bought the Second Master Guan from you as his tuition fee, and this plate was given by the Second Master Guan for free.”
Brucille had already put it to this point. No one would believe that Boss Yu knew the story no matter how hard he tried to make it up.
“Okay,” Boss Yu said faintly.
There was a piece of calligraphy on the wall behind Boss Yu. This was what Brucille really liked. The plate was just an appetizer.
He pointed to the piece of calligraphy and said, “Boss, this is a good piece of calligraphy. Mr. Lu is going to move to his new home. You can name a price.”
“Little brother, you have good taste. This is the work of the Master of Calligrapher. I can tell that this kind of work is very rare in the market. According to the standard price of the auction house, it should be worth seven million yuan. I’ll give you a discount of five million yuan.”
Brucille ruthlessly approved, “There are a few genuine items in this house, don’t you know them?”
“According to my analysis, this piece of calligraphy should be the works of the Master of Calligrapher in the early stage, but it is not worth the price. Give me more and give me a sincere price. Don’t let me return the price.”
Boss Yu knew that he had met a master today, so it was impossible to deceive him. So he gritted his teeth and said with determination, “Okay, 5 million yuan. This is the cheapest price. It’s impossible for me not to make money.”
“Deal.”
Brucille did not bargain again this time. He took a piece of calligraphy and a blue plate for 5 million yuan.
Tommy, who was beside him, did not understand if Brucille had picked it up. The price was not cheap.
“Big brother, is it worth five million yuan to buy this piece of calligraphy?”
“It’s okay. When we arrive at the auction house, it’s worth thousands of yuan. Moreover, this plate will be polished and polished when we go back. Maybe it can bring us two or three million yuan of profit.”
Tommy looked at Brucille with a look of disbelief. “Can a plate be sold for three million yuan?”
“Don’t believe it. I won’t be wrong about this thing. It’s Tang tri-colored. Although it’s not something of special value, it’s already very outstanding with its reputation. The key is that there are almost no flaws on this plate.”
After hearing Brucille’s words, Tommy calculated that he had lost two million yuan and instantly made Boss Yu spit it out.
When they passed by other shops, Brucille met his father-in-law, Tyrion.
Moreover, he was surrounded by a group of people. It seemed that something had happened.
Brucille quickly walked behind Tyrion and asked, “Dad, what happened?”
Tyrion saw his former son-in-law, Brucille, and said with a sad face, “I broke a horse of Tang tri-colored. I want compensation from my family.”
The boss said, “That’s fine. Tyrion, isn’t this your son-in-law? Let him pay for it. Not even a penny less than 12 million.”
