Chapter 120 Who Is the Fish that Was Caught? (Subscribe)

Very soon.

Under Lin Chuan's instructions, the landlady made an appointment with the client to meet at a teahouse.

It was the sun at eight or nine o'clock, and the round outline became clearer against the morning glow. The light golden light sprinkled on the road. The coolness of the early morning and the warmth of the warm sun intertwined, and the familiar small electric bike traveled on this road.

Not long after, the landlady and Lin Chuan arrived at their destination.

Yueming Teahouse.

This teahouse is not conspicuous. It is located at the end of a quiet alley. The front is not big, but it is simple and elegant. There are several pots of green potted plants in front of the door, exuding a faint fragrance.

The landlady parked the electric bike outside the alley, took off her helmet, took Lin Chuan's hand, and walked into the teahouse.

The service in the teahouse is very good.

As soon as they entered the door, a woman in cheongsam and graceful figure led the two to walk in.

The landlady took a look at the cheongsam, then walked to Lin Chuan's ear and whispered, "Chairman, do you like cheongsam?"

Lin Chuan was startled: "Let's get down to business first!"

This landlady is always flirting.

"Okay."

Zhang Xinxin grinned and laughed.

Dongdongdong--

The waiter led Lin and Zhang to a private room and knocked on the wooden door gently.

"Come in."

A voice came from the private room.

"Mr. Li."

Lin Chuan and the landlady pushed the door open and saw a middle-aged man sitting in front of the tea table. He had thick eyebrows, slightly raised, and a round and full face, which looked a little wealthy.

When Mr. Li saw the two people coming in, he immediately stood up to greet them, greeted them familiarly, and led them to sit down with a smile.

It was the first time Lin Chuan met Mr. Li, so he took a few more glances at Mr. Li's clothes.

Mr. Li was dressed in casual clothes, with a 'landscape jade pendant' on his neck, a 'small-leaf red sandalwood bracelet' on his wrist, and a lion head in his hand.

It can be seen that he is in the antique circle.

As for the quality, it is not up to Lin Chuan's eyes.

After all, the antiques he imitated are much more expensive than what Mr. Li wears.

There are several paintings and calligraphy hanging in the private room of the tea house, and Lin Chuan also glanced at them.

For example, the friend of women...ah, it feels like home.

After experiencing life, Lin Chuan has a natural sensitivity to these things.

And the Mr. Li in front of him smiled: "What kind of tea do you two want to drink?"

Lin Chuan casually ordered one: "Pu'er."

Mr. Li began to brew Pu'er tea slowly, and while brewing tea, he chatted with Lin Chuan and the little landlady about cooperation, antiques and other topics.

Until the tea was brewed, Mr. Li poured a cup for Lin Chuan and the little landlady.

At this time

His eyes fell on the so-called century-old red agate bracelet on the little landlady's wrist: "Director Zhang, the more I look at your red agate bracelet, the more precious it seems. I wonder if I can take a closer look?"

The little landlady and Lin Chuan looked at each other, then took off the red agate bracelet and handed it to Mr. Li.

Mr. Li immediately showed an expression as if he had found a treasure and held it in his palm.

He carefully looked at each red agate.

Every expression and every subtle movement of his were just right, as if he was appreciating a wonderful work of art.

However, looking at his expression, it is not enough to say that it is a work of art, at least it is a treasure handed down from generation to generation.

This scene fell into Lin Chuan's eyes. Lin Chuan tried his best to suppress the smile on the corner of his mouth and acted indifferent, but his heart was already full of joy.

We have received professional training and will not laugh no matter how funny it is.

Unless you can't help it!

This Mr. Li is really a good agent in the antique circle, and can be called an Oscar winner.

Although this is a high-quality imitation of a red agate bracelet, it is so good that it can be mistaken for the real thing in the eyes of ordinary collectors, but it is not yet to the point where people can treasure it.

However.

In Mr. Li's eyes, Lin Chuan and the little landlady are just outsiders in the antique circle.

No!

Not even outsiders!

So, he is not worried about being exposed.

After observing and appreciating it for a long time, Mr. Li looked at the landlady solemnly:

"Director Xiao Zhang, this string of red agate bracelets has been around for at least a hundred years. The more I look at it, the more I like it. It's wonderful, indescribable. I wonder if Director Xiao Zhang can give it up?"

The landlady glanced at Mr. Li and said hesitantly: "Mr. Li, this is a gift from a friend of mine. Is it really so valuable?"

Mr. Li took a sip of tea, then pointed at the agate bracelet and said: "Director Xiao Zhang, you may not know much about agate. Let me teach you how to look at red agate. Look here, this color, this texture, it must have been washed and baptized for a hundred years to have the color and warmth."

"Mr. Li, how much is this bracelet worth?"

Lin Chuan on the side smiled and started a conversation.

This time, Lin Chuan was not here to show off, but to act.

Therefore, he would not expose Mr. Li's trick, but planned to go with the flow and sell this string of 'hundred-year-old red agate bracelet' to him half-heartedly.

Mr. Li looked at Lin Chuan, and then looked at it carefully, and said in amazement: "To be honest with you, Mr. Lin, if Director Xiao Zhang is willing to give it up, I am willing to buy it at the market price of 100,000!"

The little landlady's acting skills are online, and she was slightly surprised and said: "Mr. Li, this string of bracelets, I can't guarantee that it is really the 'hundred-year-old southern red agate bracelet' you said, otherwise I will go for an appraisal first."

Upon hearing the appraisal, Mr. Li waved his hand repeatedly: "Director Zhang, I have been in the Anling antique circle for decades. It can be said that my eyes are the authority and there is no need for appraisal."

"this……"

The little housekeeper was a little hesitant.

If Lin Chuan hadn't given her eye drops in advance, with Mr. Li's acting skills that were close to an Oscar, she would have been stunned.

Mr. Li was indeed an extremely professional ‘trustee’ and immediately started making up stories:

"Director Zhang, to tell you the truth, I want to sell it to my wife. My wife and I have been through many ups and downs for decades, but I have never bought any gifts for her. Alas, after It's her birthday in a few days..."

A touching and poignant love story, told from the mouth of Mr. Li.

The little housekeeper took a deep breath, as if she was moved by it.

Her eyes couldn't help but look at Lin Chuan.

It wasn't because she thought of her and Lin Chuan, but because before Lin Chuan came, he predicted the success of Mr. Li's performance steps one by one, including the poignant love story.

After all, these repurchases at high prices are nothing more than a few stories.

For example, "I have been searching for it for many years, and my wife and children have been separated for it, but now I finally found it..." "The birthday of the elder in my family is coming soon. I have grown up with him since I was a child, and he treats me...".

All in all, touching!

Afterwards, the little tenant gave Lin Chuan a casual chat, raised the price, and sold the bracelet to Mr. Li for 120,000 yuan.

Deal done!

Both parties are very satisfied!

Walking out of Yueming Tea House, the little tenant was smiling: "Chairman, are these antiques really so profitable?"

Lin Chuan smiled and said: "There are a lot of people who lose money by messing with antiques. Many of the people who make a lot of money are experts in counterfeiting. After all, among the 100,000 antiques circulating on the market, you should be able to find one genuine one."

"Does this constitute fraud?"

The little tenant asked again.

"No." Lin Chuan replied.

"We sold the imitations as genuine products." The little housekeeper frowned slightly.

Lin Chuan laughed: "Didn't we emphasize it at the beginning? We don't know whether the bracelet is real or fake. If he wants to sell it, he has to bear the risk."

Well, I started stacking buffs as soon as I came up, so I’ll just make a disclaimer.

Even if the police investigate in the future, they will not be able to catch Lin Chuan and the little tenant. As long as they insist that they don't know whether it is true or false, it will not constitute fraud.

This is also the reason why it is difficult to hold people accountable in the antiques circle.

Even if you buy a fake, you have to identify it yourself.

"Then what should we do next?"

The little housekeeper became bolder and hugged Lin Chuan's arm directly.

Lin Chuan wanted to take his arm out, but the tenant held her tightly, so he had to let her go: "Now, just wait until Liu Qing invites you and Lao Zhang to the antique market."

"You also come with me."

The little housekeeper shook Lin Chuan's arm and said coquettishly.

Women who act coquettishly are the best!

Lin Chuan looked at the coquettish look of the little charter woman and felt soft in his heart: "If I don't go, will I watch my financial director and old landlord fall into the Antique Bureau?"

"The chairman is so kind!" the little tenant smiled.

"That's a little intimate."

Lin Chuan reminded, "It's a bit bad if your subordinates find out about office romance."

"Isn't the office a very exciting place?" The little tenant raised her face and said with a bad smile, "Office, chairman, secretary, hehehe..."

Lin Chuan was startled, then tapped the little housekeeper's forehead with his index finger: "You've watched too many movies!"

"You saw it too, otherwise how would you know?" Zhang Xinxin blinked and smiled.

Lin Chuan was speechless for a moment: "Let's watch together next time!"

"good!"

Zhang Xinxin promised, "Wait for me to find a website, hehehe."

…

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

In a cheongsam shop in Qingxiu District, the tenant was trying on an elegant blue and white porcelain cheongsam. Standing in front of the mirror, she asked Lin Chuan behind her: "Chairman, does this look good on me?"

Lin Chuan looked up.

The elegant blue and white porcelain cheongsam gently covered the little charterer's body, outlining her perfect waist and graceful figure.

The only thing that is a little bit abrupt is that the upper part of the waist seems a little tight.

Apparently!

A cheongsam with a bust that is too small is not suitable for a small housewife.

Lin Chuan glanced at the tight spot, twitched the corner of his mouth, and replied with high emotional intelligence: "You are suitable for a customized cheongsam."

"Then when I customize it next time, I will wear it for you to see."

The little housekeeper smiled.

'Ring ring ring——'

At this time, the little housekeeper's cell phone rang.

Caller ID: Lao Zhang.

Line connected.

"Xiao Zhang, are you and Lin Chuan free?" Lao Zhang said on the other end of the phone.

The little landlord replied: "Old Zhang, Lin Chuan and I are shopping!"

"Where are you shopping?" Lao Zhang asked.

"Qingxiu District, what's wrong?" the little renter replied.

"I'll come to Dongjie Street later. Your Aunt Liu wants to pick out a gift for you." Lao Zhang said with a smile.

The little housekeeper was startled: "A gift?"

On the other end of the phone, Liu Qing was beside Lao Zhang and said with a smile:

"Xiao Zhang, the string of hundred-year-old red agate I gave you last time seemed too casual as a meeting gift, so I wanted to choose another gift for you. It happened to be a few antique bosses I know who are new to the business. I ordered a batch of goods, so I wanted to take you to pick them out.”

The landlady immediately looked at Lin Chuan next to her, her eyes full of inquiries.

She was right next to Lin Chuan, very close, so Lin Chuan heard clearly, and nodded.

"Aunt Liu, the bracelet last time was already very valuable, so there is no need to choose a gift for the meeting." The landlady replied half-heartedly at first.

"Old Zhang has only one precious daughter like you, and Aunt Liu is very congenial to you. I am very happy, so I want to take you to the antique street for a stroll. It's better to take a look without selling anything. Bring Xiao Lin with you, so you two can have a look." Liu Qing continued.

"Okay, Aunt Liu, Lin Chuan and I will be there later."

The landlady forced a smile and replied.

"Aunt Liu is waiting for you two." Liu Qing laughed.

Beep beep.

Hang up the phone.

The landlady looked at Lin Chuan: "Chairman, she really set up a trap."

Lin Chuan smiled, with a touch of confidence on his face: "Don't worry, I also set up a trap for her, let's see who is the fish being caught."
