Chapter 294 The Road to the Flower God Cup (4)

"70? That's a lot!" Mr. Lin was taken aback. Obviously, he only knew that his pair of porcelain cups were treasures, but he didn't know how much they were worth. Chen Ran offered 70 as soon as he opened his mouth. It frightened him.

This is exactly the effect Chen Ran wants. Of course, besides this effect, the two Flower God Cups are indeed worth so much. Mr. Lin doesn't know the value of the two Flower God Cups, which doesn't mean that Uncle Lin doesn't know either. Uncle Lin has been collecting them for so many years, so he must have found out the origin of these two Huashen cups. He originally accepted them without telling Uncle Lin, and it would undoubtedly be too unkind to accept them at a lower price.

Although the antique industry has specific ethics and morality, and is not bound by ordinary morality, even if he took the two flower god cups from Mr. Lin without telling Uncle Lin, no one would say anything. It's just like this, after all, he has fallen behind. This is undoubtedly what the old man Bai told him to "try to strive for, but not force".

There are two flower god cups, one is the June lotus cup, the other is the September chrysanthemum cup, the lotus cup is more common, the value is generally between 25 and 30, and the September chrysanthemum cup is about 50. Together, the price is about 80. Of course, this is only calculated according to the auction records of the auction house. The specific price depends on the situation. , Chen Ran can only accept it at a high price. Compared with the profit after making up a complete set, as long as the price is not too outrageous, Chen Ran can basically accept it.

Not only was Mr. Lin taken aback, but Xiaoqiang was obviously shocked too, looking at Mr. Lin eagerly.

Mr. Lin seemed to be a little moved, but he hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head: "No, I can't sell it for 70 yuan. I can't make this decision. If I sell it to the old man, the old man will definitely be pissed off."

"80!" Without the slightest hesitation, Mr. Lin just shook his head, and Chen Ran immediately raised the price again, and directly raised the price by [-].

Both Mr. Lin and Xiaoqiang looked at Chen Ran with wide-eyed eyes in surprise, and their breathing became a little short.

"Dad, do you want to..." Xiaoqiang looked at Chen Ran, then at the two Huashen Cups, his eyes were red, and he stuttered when he spoke excitedly.

Mr. Lin is not much more excited than Xiaoqiang, but he has more experience after all. He gave Xiaoqiang a hard look, looked at Chen Ran, and then at the two Huashen Cups, obviously he was also engaged in an ideological struggle , There was a bead of sweat on his forehead.

Seeing Mr. Lin's ideological struggle, Chen Ran has already considered whether to increase the price. What he has to do now is to completely shock Mr. Lin and not give the other party a chance to think, so as not to wait for the other party to wake up and cause trouble again .

But before he could increase the price, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open with a click.

"What are you doing?" An old lady in her 60s came in suddenly, looking at them with a look of shock and anger.

Chen Ran secretly thought something was wrong, don't guess, this old lady is also Xiaoqiang's "grandmother". If the old lady finds out, then Uncle Lin will definitely know about it. I'm afraid... the sudden appearance of the old lady Obviously, both Mr. Lin and Xiaoqiang were taken aback. Both of them were a little dumbfounded. Mr. Lin was the first to react.

"Mom... why are you here?"

"Why did you say I came here? If I don't come here again, do you want to piss your dad off? I think you just healed and your scars don't hurt. You have to piss your dad off to death to be reconciled..." The old lady was so angry Not lightly, he directly twisted Mr. Lin's ears.

"Xiaoqiang, look at things first, Mom, listen to me..." Mr. Lin dodged in a panic, looked back at Chen Ran, told Xiaoqiang, and pushed the old lady out .

Chen Ran sighed in his heart, now that he has been arrested, he can only put his hope on Mr. Lin, and hope that Mr. Lin can persuade the old lady.

Although he thought that it would be very difficult to collect a complete set of five-color flower god cups from the Kangxi Dynasty, Chen Ran still did not expect that the process would be so difficult. He was about to get it, but Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared. If the old lady told Uncle Lin about it, the chance of getting it would undoubtedly be even lower.

Take a look at the two flower god cups placed there, waiting is also waiting, originally Chen Ran wanted to ask Xiaoqiang about Uncle Lin's preferences, but Xiaoqiang was very wary of him, guarding the two flowers tightly. The God Cup didn't let him get close, even if he asked a question, he just said he didn't know, and Chen Ran could only let it go.

"Oh, I still can't sell it to you. The old man cares too much about this thing. If I sell it to you, he will give me his life..." Not long after, Mr. Lin walked back with a disappointed expression on his face, followed by the old lady. But the old lady didn't enter the door. She stood at the door and viciously swept the people in the room.

Chen Ran sighed, this result was within his expectations, but he must not be reconciled to leaving like this... "You can say the highest price, you can ask the highest price, I will ask the old man if he is willing to sell If he is willing, that's easy to say, if he doesn't want to, there's nothing he can do." Not only is Chen Ran not reconciled, but Mr. Lin is not reconciled, he can't understand the old man's mentality, in his opinion, these two broken cups If you keep the food you can’t eat or drink, and convert it into money, it’s a small million. Now his son is worrying about getting married and buying a house. With this money, he can undoubtedly buy a good house, but the old man He definitely wouldn't think so, and he couldn't help it.

"I can only offer a maximum of 83 yuan!" Although he knew that there was little hope, Chen Ran still quoted him a price. This is the price.

"83, wait a minute, I'll call and ask." Mr. Lin looked Chen Ran straight in the eye, then took out his phone, went to the side and started making a call.

"Hey, Dad, it's me. Let me tell you something. A little brother came to our house to look for you. He said it was your... Tibetan friend. If he wants to see your collection, I will take him to Take a look in your house, I know, I know, he wants to buy it, but I didn’t sell it to him, I made it clear to him before letting him see it, I only want to see it but not sell it, yes, yes, when he is watching , I missed that one, saying that you still have a pair of babies, he said he would bid 83 yuan, I called to ask you... No, I didn't let him see it, I just took the photo you took Show him, he wants to take it, look...don't sell it? I know, I know, how dare you not sell me, oh, don't run back, don't worry, I won't sell him Yes, my mother is by my side, okay, okay..." Mr. Lin handed the phone to the old lady, and looked at Chen Ran helplessly with his hands spread out.

Chen Ran heard the conversation between Mr. Lin and Uncle Lin very clearly. At first, he heard that it was Tibetan friends who came to see things. Uncle Lin didn’t say anything. When Mr. Lin talked about the two Flora Cups, Uncle Lin immediately turned his back on him. First, he reprimanded Mr. Lin, saying that if Mr. Lin dared to sell his pair of Flora Cups, he would wait for him He had to beat Mr. Lin to death when he came back, so he didn't feel at ease like this, if he wanted to rush back immediately, and handed over the phone to the old lady, she would undoubtedly let the old lady guard it.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and hide the things, put them in as you take them out, and don't let him find out that you have touched his things..." The old lady hung up the phone and told Mr. Lin .

"The old man has a treasure, and he doesn't want to sell it. Those few bottles, you can see if you like it. If you don't like it, you can go back." Mr. Lin was also full of anger, and he became a little impatient in speaking.

Unwilling to leave here, Chen Ran moved away from Mr. Lin and said, "I really like this pair of cups. See if there is any other way to make the old man give up..."

Before Chen Ran finished speaking, Mr. Lin waved his hand and said, "The old man will never sell. He only cares about his treasures in his heart. He doesn't care about other things." Mr. Lin is obviously angry with Uncle Lin.

"What kind of collecting hobbies does Uncle Lin have? For example, Uncle Lin has always wanted to collect a certain kind of antique, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity to collect it. Or are there other antiques that are important to Uncle Lin that can make Uncle Lin better than this one? Two cups are still precious, I can find this kind of antique and exchange it with Uncle Lin..."

Today is an era of collections by the whole people. There are too many monks and porridge, many collectors, and few antiques, especially those precious and heavy objects, which cannot satisfy the huge collection of people. Not everyone can collect them. A piece of treasure, collectors are very precious when they get a kind of antique boutique, and they are not willing to sell it, but after all, everyone has different preferences. Some collectors like porcelain, and some collectors like copper. , Those who like porcelain get a fine piece of bronze ware, and collectors who like bronze ware get a famous kiln heavy ware. If they sell it directly, they are reluctant to sell it. Take it over, but the owner doesn't sell it, unless you also take out a favorite treasure... Wait, in the antique circle, mutual exchange is very common, even more common than direct payment.

"These two cups are tight to the old man. Whatever you bring here, he won't exchange them with you." Mr. Lin waved his hands impatiently as he put the two cups into the box. .

Chen Ran was feeling a little disappointed, but suddenly he heard Mr. Lin continue to say: "If you say that the old man is more precious than these two cups, there is only that broken thing, but even if the old man is willing to change that thing, you can't get it." come……"
