close mad son-in-law

"Treasurer Ma, should you give me a satisfactory explanation?" Boss Qian snorted coldly, and pushed the broken inkstone in front of Shopkeeper Ma.

Shopkeeper Ma's face changed when he saw it, of course he could see it.

fake!

"Boss Qian, where did you get your inkstone?" Shopkeeper Ma asked.

"How dare you do it but dare not admit it?" Hearing Shopkeeper Ma ask him where the inkstone came from, Boss Qian's anger suddenly hit him.

Is this a plan to not admit it?

The broken inkstone was obviously taken out by Xiao Liu just now, and then it was cut in two by Xu Qiang. The shopkeeper Ma didn't know him anymore, what is it?
"What do you dare to do but not admit it?"

"I asked you to prepare an inkstone for me. You prepared this one for me. Have you forgotten?" Boss Qian became even more angry.

what?
The shopkeeper Ma was shocked, so he took it over and looked at it carefully.

"Boss Qian, I definitely did not prepare this inkstone for you!"

"You don't have to quibble. Xiao Liu took it out of it himself. He said you prepared it for me specially. Could there be anything wrong?"

"Xiao Liu?" Shopkeeper Ma looked at Xiao Liu.

"The shopkeeper, it was indeed prepared by you!" Xiao Liu was about to cry.

Is this going to use him as a scapegoat?
Even if he sells the inkstone worth 80 yuan, he can't afford it.

"You've been caught, so just admit it! And your store has surveillance, and the whole process is under surveillance, you can't deny it even if you want to!" Xu Qiang said with a smile.

"Boss Qian, we have been dealing with each other for so many years. You should know me as a person. There must be a mistake in a certain link. I will never deliberately give you fake products. But since the matter has already happened, I will be responsible to the end. Qian I will return it to you right away, I will continue to find the inkstone for you, and give it to you for free..." Shopkeeper Ma glanced at Xu Qiang, but he didn't take Xu Qiang to heart, and only regarded Xu Qiang as a spectator, concentrating on dealing with Boss Qian.

"But I'm going to use it as a gift. It's past ten o'clock now, and I'll need it in the afternoon. Can you find it before noon?" Hearing what Shopkeeper Ma said, Boss Qian hesitated.

He has dealt with shopkeeper Ma for many years, and shopkeeper Ma really doesn't seem like a cheater. The problem is that the inkstone will be used in the afternoon, and the time is too tight.

"If you want to give it away, I have a piece..." Xu Qiang said.

"Your inkstone is worth several thousand at most, and it can't meet Boss Qian's requirements..." Seeing the inkstone Xu Qiang picked up, shopkeeper Ma shook his head.

This inkstone has been in the store for more than half a year, how could he not recognize it?
Boss Qian gave the gift to someone of high status, so the value of the gift should not be too low. When Boss Qian asked him to prepare an inkstone, he clearly pointed out that the value should not be less than 50.

And the inkstone in Xu Qiang's hand is too far away from 50 yuan.

"Are you sure it's only worth a few thousand yuan?" Xu Qiang smiled.

"Sure!" Shopkeeper Ma said angrily.

It's the inkstone sold in his antique shop, and he bought it himself. Can he not know what it is?
"It seems that I blamed you wrongly. You really didn't deliberately deceive Boss Qian, because your ability is limited, and it is impossible to tell if there is a fake!" Xu Qiang showed a sudden realization.

what?
Hearing Xu Qiang's words, shopkeeper Ma's eyes immediately widened.

Xu Qiang was criticizing him for his lack of eyesight, and he was directly criticizing him face to face, but now there are nearly 30 people watching the excitement, and they can all hear clearly.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, shopkeeper Ma felt his face was burning hot.

"Do you think the inkstone in your hand is very valuable?" Shopkeeper Ma sneered.

"That's right!"

"Okay, since you want to prove it, let's see how valuable it is?" The shopkeeper Ma was a little dissatisfied with Xu Qiang's repeated interruptions.

Now Xu Qiang questioned his ability again, and told him that he was not good enough. The shopkeeper Ma's anger could hardly be suppressed, but he had to suppress it by force, which made him endure very hard.

Just when Xu Qiang said that his inkstone was very valuable, shopkeeper Ma found a way to let Xu Qiang prove that the inkstone in his hand was very valuable.

In fact, shopkeeper Ma knows best in his heart, and he can't prove it at all.

"Since you are not afraid of shame, I will not be polite!" Xu Qiang picked up the fruit knife again and scratched at the end of the inkstone he bought.

"The shopkeeper, there is something wrong with the inkstone I gave to Boss Qian, and he saw it!" When Xu Qiang moved the knife, Xiao Liu quietly reminded Shopkeeper Ma.

Hearing Xiao Liu's reminder, shopkeeper Ma frowned slightly.

At this moment, people exclaimed. It turned out that Xu Qiang was digging with a knife, and suddenly a long strip fell from one end of the inkstone.

It is a stone strip, which happens to be a little smaller than the cross-section at one end of Yantai, with a thickness of about one centimeter, which is generally the same as that of an inkstone.

Seeing the fallen stone bars, shopkeeper Ma's heart hangs.

He had worked in the antique business for decades, had seen and heard too much, and immediately realized that there was something wrong with the inkstone in Xu Qiang's hand.

The inkstone is too big, and the inside may have been hollowed out.

Just when he was suspicious, everyone exclaimed again.

It turned out that Xu Qiang erected the inkstone, and poured out a flat stone from the end dug out by him, which was clearly a small inkstone.

It looks like a lotus leaf, and the carving is very exquisite.

"It's actually a Chenghua Duan inkstone!" Without having to hold it in his hand to look at it, shopkeeper Ma could tell that it was an inkstone from the Chenghua period.

During the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, many very exquisite inkstones were unearthed in the Duanxi inkstone pit, many of which have exquisite patterns.

Skilled craftsmen made inkstones into various shapes according to the shape of the pattern, among which there is a kind of inkstone in the shape of a lotus leaf, which created a precedent for literati inkstones in pursuit of charm.

"Shopkeeper Ma, what do you think of my inkstone?" Xu Qiang put the lotus-leaf-shaped inkstone he just dug out on the counter and pushed it in front of Shopkeeper Ma.

Shopkeeper Ma couldn't care less, picked it up and watched it carefully.

Soon he let it go, and he already knew it.

"Judging from the style and carving work of the inkstone, it should be that the inkstone used by the court officials during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty is very well preserved, and the carving work is also very exquisite!" Ma shopkeeper commented with a dark face.

He also wants to be demeaning on purpose, the problem is he can't.

Because there are many viewers now, and they are even taking pictures non-stop.

If he belittled on purpose, his peers would definitely know about it, and if it got out, it would affect his reputation, so he had to tell the truth, no matter how reluctant he was.

"Then how much is this inkstone worth?" Boss Qian asked with bright eyes.

"Conservatively speaking, it should be over a million!"

Shopkeeper Ma glanced at Xu Qiang, and firmly remembered Xu Qiang.

He decided to wait for this matter to be resolved, and he must investigate Xu Qiang's origin clearly. He suspected that Xu Qiang came to make trouble on purpose.

Expose and sell fakes, and pick up leaks in the store.

If the news spread, it would have a very bad impact on their Ma family's antique shop.

"An inkstone worth over one million?" Hearing Shopkeeper Ma say that it was worth over one million, not only Boss Qian but also the onlookers were excited.

They took countless photos of the lotus leaf inkstone in all directions without dead ends.

This is big news!

In Ma's antique shop, a young man bought an inkstone for 5000 yuan, and then dug out a small inkstone from the inkstone in front of the shopkeeper Ma. The shopkeeper personally appraised the value as one million.

Thinking of this, they became even more excited to take pictures.

Shopkeeper Ma can't do anything to stop it, because although he is over 50 years old, he is not an old antique, and he knows that the Internet is too powerful now.

While taking a photo, the photo has already been uploaded on the Internet, even if he stops it, the uploaded photo will not be taken down.

"Little brother, do you think you can sell me the lotus leaf inkstone? I really need it urgently. Just now the shopkeeper said that the market price is about one million. I can give you another 20. What do you think if I offer 120 million?" Money The boss said to Xu Qiang.

This inkstone is better and more suitable for him to give as a gift.

"What are you in a hurry for? Didn't the shopkeeper Ma just promise? He will help you find one!" Xu Qiang didn't immediately agree.

"But now it's too late, and it just so happens that you have it in your hand." Boss Qian said.

"Boss Qian, my promise is of course valid. Don't be impatient. I will buy the lotus leaf inkstone and give it to you for free. Take it as my apology!" Hearing Xu Qiang's words, shopkeeper Ma couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb. up.

"What's your name, little brother?" Shopkeeper Ma turned to face Xu Qiang.

"Xu Qiang!"

"Xu Qiang?" Hearing the name on Xu Qiang's report, shopkeeper Ma felt a little familiar, as if he had heard of it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Then temporarily put it down, the most important thing now is to buy an inkstone.

"Mr. Xu, you have also seen that Boss Qian is in urgent need of an inkstone, and you happen to have it in your hand. In that case, I will buy it. Boss Qian has already quoted a price just now. He bid 120 million, and I will give it to you at this price. You What do you think?" Shopkeeper Ma said with a smile.

In his opinion, 120 million is a good purchase, because the price quoted just now is low, and the actual market price should be around 150 million.

It's just that the market price activity of antiques is relatively strong, and he reported less, even if his colleagues know about it, it is impossible to say anything about him.

Xu Qiang shook his head and stretched out 5 fingers.

"You disagree? Do you want 500 million?" Seeing Xu Qiang's five fingers stretched out, Shopkeeper Ma understood, and his face darkened immediately.

Even if it is sent to the auction, it is impossible to sell 500 million.

Xu Qiang is simply a lion in Haikou!

"Mr. Xu, although your lotus leaf inkstone is very good, the market price will never exceed 150 million. Isn't it too much for you to ask for 500 million?" Shopkeeper Ma suppressed his anger.

"Not too much, not too much, I even think it's too cheap, it should go up a little more!" Xu Qiang didn't care if he could sell it or not.

If he can't sell it, at worst he can take it home and keep it for himself, because he is not short of money at all.

"If you think the quotation just now is low, I can add some more to you. What do you think of 150 million?" The treasurer Ma continued to bargain.

Bargaining in the antique trade is no different from bargaining in the vegetable market. Only by lowering your face and negotiating the price can you buy it at a lower price.

"I'm not bargaining with you. My lotus leaf inkstone is a one-off price, which is 500 million. You can either buy it or keep it for yourself."

"Take advantage of the fire!" Seeing Xu Qiang's bright smile, shopkeeper Ma suddenly understood that Xu Qiang was asking him to make a difficult choice.

The inkstone, Boss Qian was about to give it away, and he didn’t have time to look for another one elsewhere. The inkstone in Xu Qiang’s hand was the only choice.

If you don't buy it, you will delay Boss Qian's important affairs, and Boss Qian will definitely not let him go.

Xu Qiang asked him to make a choice, one is to buy the inkstone at a high price to avoid disaster, and the other is to delay Boss Qian's major event and offend Boss Qian.
