C19 The Meaning of the Song Is Not the Same as Wine
The porcelain bottle looks a little old in the distance. There were even two small holes in the bottle. However, the enamel color of the porcelain bottle was dazzling in the light. It looked like an old object at first glance. At least it looked like an old object.
It was a fish basket bottle!
President Zhang took the fish basket bottle from Brother Ma's hand and looked at it carefully for a long time. The more he looked at it, the deeper the smile on his face became. It revealed a strong fondness. He could not help but praise, "The shape of fish dew is light purple glaze. Looking at the item that looks like the imitation Jun kiln, I remember that only Yong Zheng and Qian Loong from the two dynasties of Qing Dynasty are famous for the imitation Jun kiln porcelain."
"Although there are some flaws in the fish basket bottle and the glaze isn't uniform and smooth, in my opinion, it's an artifact of Yong Zheng and Qian Loong."
"Although I am old, I am not old yet. Young man, how much is this fish basket bottle? Name a price. I like it very much. I will take it now."
Little Liuzi was overjoyed when he heard President Zhang's words. He kept smiling and fawning while winking at Brother Ma. Originally, he was worried that President Zhang would not take it seriously. Now that the big fish was hooked, he must not miss the opportunity to wait for death.
Brother Ma ignored Xiao Liuzi's wink. Instead, he looked troubled. "Old mister, Boss Zheng has already taken a liking to this fish basket bottle. He even said that he would come in the afternoon to take it. Do you think..."
The more President Zhang looked at the fish basket bottle, the more he liked it. It could be said that he couldn't bear to part with it. He did not even raise his head and said, "Young man, you haven't made a deal yet. Why? Are you afraid that this old man can't afford it? Tell me, how much did you sell it to that Boss Zheng? The price this old man offered is only higher than his. Money isn't a problem, and it won't be a loss to you. "
Brother Ma hesitated again and again. He seemed to be struggling with his thoughts. After pondering for a while, he carefully explained, "Sir, it doesn't seem to be in line with the rules. Yesterday, Boss Zheng set the price at 30,000 RMB. You see how much you like it, it makes me feel very troubled."
President Zhang hesitated for a moment and returned the fish basket bottle to Brother Ma. He picked up his two walnuts and continued to turn them around. However, his eyes were still on the fish basket bottle from time to time. He said resolutely, "This old man offers 40,000 RMB. Do you want to sell it? If you don't want to sell it, then this old man won't force you. I won't take advantage of you. If you leave now, it won't break the rules of your business. "
Brother Ma saw President Zhang's actions and was secretly delighted. He was still trying to figure out if he could get more information from President Zhang, but he couldn't hold his anger any longer. "Brother Ma," he said. Boss Zheng hasn't paid yet, and the old man really likes this fish basket boss. Just sell it to him so that he can fulfill the old man's wishes. I believe he can understand why you apologized to him at Boss Zheng's place. "
Hearing what Xiaoliu said, Brother Ma cursed in his heart that this kid had ruined his plans. However, since he had already said that, he had no way out. Thus, he pretended to grit his teeth and said firmly, "Since you have already said this, old mister, I will not let you go. Then you really like this thing, too. Then today, I will make an exception for you, sir, to break the rules and sell this fish basket bottle to you. I'll explain it to Boss Zheng. I won't make things difficult for you. "
President Zhang had waited for a long time to say yes. Now that he had achieved his goal, he was naturally beaming with joy. He straightforwardly paid with the POS machine and held the fish basket bottle in his arms like a treasure.
President Zhang seemed very happy to be able to successfully get the fish basket bottle. He beamed with joy and said with a smile, "Young man, look at how I bought such a big thing from you. Don't you think you should give me a bonus to make me happy?"
Looking at the 40,000 yuan in his account, Brother Ma had already lost his mind a long time ago. This was money that he hadn't earned in a year. He kept slandering this old man in his heart. It was really easy to fool him.
However, after hearing President Zhang's words, he had to do something about his reputation. "Hehe, old mister, you are taking care of my business. I will definitely give you the prize money. Take a look at what you like at the stall. Take another one. It has been a long time since I gave it to you, okay? "
"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"
President Zhang looked around the stall for a long time. He could not tell which one was good and which one was bad. He pointed at a small snuff-pot impatiently and said, "That's it. I like that color. Do you think it's okay?"
Brother Ma followed President Zhang's finger and looked at the snuff pot. He immediately felt relieved. He then personally picked up the snuff pot and handed it to President Zhang. He said generously, "Yes, of course. As long as you like it, just take it. It's just a snuff pot. Come, take it."
Seeing that they had completed the transaction, Brother Ma couldn't help but feel puzzled. He didn't know what President Zhang, as the vice president of the Antique Association of Sichuan, was selling.
He had already used his Heavenly Eye to look at the vase. It didn't contain any spiritual energy at all. In other words, the vase was at least a far cry from the Buddha statue.
Lin Xi watched the whole process of the transaction with his eyes. His heart was wavering. What was President Zhang selling in his gourd? Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something.
In the next moment, Lin Xi focused his attention on President Zhang's hand. He quietly opened his Heavenly Eye, but his eyes were not on the fish basket but on the snuff pot.
As his eyes focused, the snuff pot appeared clearly in Lin Xi's mind and instantly disintegrated into a ball of green light. However, this ball of green light was far from as dense as the Buddha statue. Soon after, it was absorbed by the Sun Moon Pupil and retracted back into the depths of his eyes.
Lin Xi's thoughts were confirmed, but at the same time, his heart ached and he praised President Zhang. President Zhang really did not have any ulterior motives. He cared about it. It had never been that fish bottle.
It was because he had come for the snuff pot from the beginning to the end. What he cared about was naturally the snuff pot. The fish basket bottle was just a cover.
The old Jianghu was the old Jianghu. Sure enough, the older the wiser. President Zhang must have known long ago that if he only wanted the snuff pot, the other party would definitely ruthlessly kill him. But if it wasn't this snuff pot that was charging towards him, and it was unintentionally doing so. That's just picking up the scraps.
Therefore, he decided to play the game. He was willing to pretend to be a fish that had taken the bait and was willing to be killed. All of this was for the sake of the snuff pot. In comparison, the value of the snuff pot was much higher than that of a fish basket.
What Lin Xi did not know was that the value was only one of the reasons. This was because what President Zhang valued the most was the process of picking up the leftovers and the joy of fighting wisdom and courage during this process.
In fact, President Zhang had many other ways to pick up the loots other than this method. However, he still chose this method in the end. Perhaps it was on a whim, or perhaps it was something that had been brewing for a long time. However, he still enjoyed this process from the beginning to the end.
After finally figuring out the twists and turns behind this lively scene, Lin Xi wanted to retract his Heavenly Eye, but right at this moment, his gaze inadvertently swept over an object, causing him to be shocked and overjoyed.
Because the green light contained within that object was almost comparable to Buddha statues, and was much denser than snuff bottles. However, the most important thing right now was not to care about what exactly that object was, but to absorb all of the green light with his will and use it for his own use.
After a long time, Lin Xi finally absorbed all the green light in the object. However, by the time he came back to his senses, President Zhang had already disappeared.
The stall owner next to him called him several times when he saw that he was lost in thought. When he regained his senses, he couldn't help but laugh. "Young man, look at those two fools. They are so happy! President Zhang is not an ordinary person. He is busy helping people earn money after being sold."
