"Haha, little brother, you really know how to joke!”
When the shop owner heard this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face and he quickly smiled.
The main thing was that after carefully checking it, the shop owner found that the beads in the box in front of Liu Qing were all top-grade Hainan yellow rosewood ghost eyeballs, so he asked so urgently.
Of course, the shop owner also knew that it was not good for such a straightforward person to investigate, so he looked a little embarrassed.
"If I had known earlier, I would have found a roadside stall and strung this bead!”
After being asked by the shop owner, Liu Qing thought to himself. After all, he hated it when others asked him questions. Therefore, Liu Qing's expression was a little impatient as he said,
"Boss, can you give me a discount for a bracelet? If not, I'll go to another house to take a look.”
"Alright, alright, alright."
The shop owner looked at Liu Qing's expression and quickly replied with a smile,"Of course we can give you a discount. Little brother, how about this? My shop usually charges 15 yuan for a string of beads. Since you have so many here, why don't you give us 10 yuan? Of course, we'll give you the string for free.”
When the delicate female shop assistant heard this, she looked at her boss in disbelief. She was usually a miser. Why was she suddenly so generous today?
"Alright."
Liu Qing felt that it was alright. He nodded and said,"Let's go with this price, but I hope you can hurry up.”
"Don't worry, little brother. You'll finish stringing these beads in at most an hour.”
The shop owner replied. As he spoke, he quickly arranged for two female employees to string the beads together. He found an excuse to leave and returned to his office.
Then, Liu Qing sat on the sofa and drank tea. He watched the two clever salesgirls stringing beads together. As for Little White and Little Black, they lay comfortably on the ground beside Liu Qing and fell asleep.
Time flew.
Ten minutes passed.
"This bracelet is indeed quite comfortable and good-looking. I can even smell a faint fragrance.”Liu Qing played with the first bracelet he had just strung and could not help but sigh.
Meanwhile, the shop owner was standing at the door. He looked at the time and then looked outside the door. His expression was a little anxious as if he was waiting for someone.
Another two minutes passed.
Outside the Purple Cloud Pavilion, a black Mercedes-Benz rushed in and stopped at the entrance. Then, a spirited old man in his sixties or seventies got out of the back seat of the car.
When the shop owner saw this old man, his face immediately lit up and he hurriedly opened the door to welcome him.
Liu Qing, who was sitting on the sofa, didn't know about this.
After entering the shop, the old man in white came to the sofa where Liu Qing was sitting, and the shop owner followed beside him. When he saw Liu Qing, the old man smiled and went straight to the point,
"Hello, young man. Let me introduce myself first. I'm the father of the owner of this shop. I just heard from him that you brought thousands of Hainan yellow rosewood beads to string your bracelet today, so I specially rushed over to take a look.”
Although Liu Qing was wary of the smiling and benevolent old man who had suddenly appeared in front of him, he was embarrassed to reject him when he saw that he had already said so. He nodded and said,"Please go ahead, Old Master. They're all here.”
"Thank you, young man!"
The old man sat down as he spoke. Then, he reached out and picked up a bracelet that had already been made and carefully examined it.
Laozi stroked the smooth and delicate bead in his hand, carefully checking its texture, color, brightness, and smell.
After looking at a few strings in a row, the old man stopped and praised,"Good stuff, all good stuff!”
Then, the old man looked at Liu Qing and asked,""Young man, if I may ask, you have so many bracelets here. Do you have any plans to sell some?”
"Hmm?"
When Liu Qing heard this, he asked with some doubt,""Old Master, does your antique shop accept bracelets?”
From Liu Qing's point of view, these antique shops only sold old antiques. Even if they couldn't find the bracelet, they would still buy it.
"Haha, of course. Not only do we collect bracelets, but we also collect modern art pieces!”The old man laughed and explained.
Although there was an old saying in the antique business that went," If you don't open for business for three years, you'll have to eat for three years if you open for business." However, in recent years, the competition had become more and more intense. Therefore, in order to survive, antique shops had expanded their territory.
"Then what's the price you're offering?”
Liu Qing asked.
Liu Qinggang thought about it and decided that he was only bringing a bunch of them for fun. It was useless to have more. Moreover, with his Portable Space, he could still make them in the future. Therefore, seeing that the old man wanted to buy them, Liu Qing felt that if the price was right, there was no harm in selling them.
"9000 yuan per string."
Seeing that Liu Qing had the intention to sell it, the old man's expression was happy as he spoke in a deep voice.
“9000？”
Liu Qing heard this and slowly said," Old man, a friend of mine told me yesterday that the bracelet he bought six years ago cost several thousand yuan. To be honest, your 9000 yuan is not very meaningful."”
Although Liu Qing didn't know much about the market for Hainan huanghuali bracelets, he wasn't stupid. After all, they were grown in his portable space, so their price would definitely be higher than theirs.
Liu Qing's words made the old man blush. Then, the old man said apologetically,"Young man, I was rude. If you're sure you want to sell it, 23000 per skewer.”
"Dad!"
The shop owner behind him could not help but remind him anxiously when he saw his father instantly raise the price by more than double. This was because he would not be able to earn much money even if he charged at this price.
"Shut up!"
When the old man heard this, he shouted sternly,"Useless thing!”
It turned out that the reason why the old man came to the shop was that his son wanted to buy these pearls from Liu Qing. However, because Liu Qing had brought too many pearls, the shop owner was worried that it would be eye-catching, so he hurriedly called his father to check it out.
"Alright, this price is not a problem."
When Liu Qing heard this price, he agreed readily and said,""Here, the finished bracelets are on the coffee table. The unfinished beads are still in the box. As for the exact number, you can count it later.”
"Hmm, there's a box here?"
After hearing Liu Qing's words, the old man turned his gaze to the box at the side. It was not his fault. The main reason was that the old man's attention was focused on the string of bracelets in front of him.
Then, the old man sat on the sofa slightly closer to the box and looked at it carefully. Then, the old man ordered his son to bring a magnifying glass and look at it carefully.
The surface of the box was golden and shiny. There were countless black scars that looked like eyes crisscrossing. There was not a single nail, glue, or a single flap on the box. Especially when the lid was closed, the entire box was seamless. There was not a single gap, as if it was dug out from a huge piece of material.
"Hiss!"
Seeing this, the old man sucked in a breath of cold air.
This was because it was too magical, too inconceivable, and simply defied common sense. Of course, this was also the first time in decades that the old man had seen such an exquisite box.
Then, the more the old man read, the more surprised he became. In the end, the old man's face turned red and his neck turned red. He panted heavily and asked,"Young man, are you selling this box for 3 million?”
"Hmm?"
Liu Qing was dumbfounded.
"Are you selling it for 5 million?"
Seeing that Liu Qing did not speak, the old man continued to speak.
"I..."
Liu Qing, who understood, was about to speak when the old man said,"10 million?"
Hearing this, Liu Qing said without hesitation,"
"I'll sell it!"
