"Yes, I brought several authentic antiques to sell in the store," said Gu Ning. She didn't mention what had happened just now, but she was very satisfied with Chen Darong's way of dealing with it.
"Authentic antiques?"
"Authentic antiques?"
The moment Gu Ning finished her sentence, two people exclaimed at the same time. One was from Chen Darong, and the other was from the door.
Hearing the voice, both Gu Ning and Chen Darong turned to look at the door. It was an old man around 70 years old, followed by two bodyguards.
Seeing him, Chen Darong walked forward to welcome him with great respect. "Hi, Master Xu, long time no see. You're still as energetic as ever!"
"Don't be so polite. I'm here to see if there are any valuable antiques. Boss, you said that you have several authentic antiques for sale. Show them to me right now." The old man ignored Chen Darong and walked to Gu Ning in a hurry. He couldn't wait to urge her.
Chen Darong didn't care that Master Xu ignored him. Master Xu had a good relationship with the former boss of Xiangyun Antique-store, so Chen Darong knew Master Xu very well. He knew that Master Xu wouldn't care about antiques even if the emperor was there.
Gu Ning smiled and said, "Sure, this way please, Master Xu."
After that, Gu Ning led Master Xu to the lounge.
When they sat down in the lounge, Gu Ning put the suitcase aside and opened it. The antiques in the suitcase were immediately exposed in front of them.
There was a bronze dagger, a bronze spear, a bronze bell, and five bronze wares.
There were also five antiques, including a large plate with pastel patterns, a pair of pastel bowls with dragon and phoenix patterns, a Chongzhen blue-and-white pen holder, an agarwood thumb ring from the Qing Dynasty, and a gold incense burner from the Qing Dynasty.
When Chen Darong and Master Xu saw the 10 antiques, they rounded their eyes in shock.
"Boss, are they all authentic antiques?" Asked Chen Darong in disbelief. He didn't doubt Gu Ning's words, but he was too shocked to believe it.
Although these ten antiques were relatively cheap among Gu Ning's antiques, Chen Darong didn't care about them at all. If they were genuine antiques, no matter how cheap they were, each of them would be worth hundreds of thousands, or even millions.
Elder Xu didn't trust Gu Ning as much as Chen Darong did. After all, he wasn't familiar with Gu Ning, so he decided to appraise it first.
"Quick, give me the appraisal tools." Xu Lao immediately urged Chen Darong.
Chen Darong immediately went to the counter and brought the identification tools over. The identification tools were undoubtedly magnifying glasses, flashlights, and so on.
Elder Xu first took Chongzhen's blue and white porcelain pen holder, and then began to appraise it. Chen Darong also joined in the appraisal.
For antique lovers, they were the happiest when they saw real antiques, even if they didn't own them.
"It's real, it's real," Xu Lao said excitedly after the result was out.
After that, they appraised the antiques one by one. The more they appraised, the more excited Elder Xu and Chen Darong were.
After the appraisal, Elder Xu took a pair of pastel bowls with dragon and phoenix patterns, Chongzhen's blue and white porcelain pen holder and Qing Dynasty agarwood thumb ring, then asked Gu Ning, "Miss Gu, how much are they?"
Although it was rare to find authentic antiques, everyone liked different antiques, so they wouldn't buy them as long as they were authentic.
"How much do you think they're worth, Master Xu?" Gu Ning asked. She didn't know the exact price of these antiques.
"Based on my experience, I think the pastel bowls with dragon and phoenix patterns are worth between five million yuan and six million yuan, the Chongzhen's blue and white porcelain pen holder is worth between three million yuan and four million yuan, and the Qing Dynasty agarwood thumb ring is worth between one million yuan and one million and five hundred thousand yuan. I can give you a compromise. What do you think?" said Elder Xu. These prices were very reasonable.
"Elder Xu, please give me eight million yuan for these five antiques," said Gu Ning.
She bought these antiques at a price of several thousand yuan, so she didn't care much about the price.
Hearing that, Elder Xu was surprised. "Girl Gu, don't you feel sad that you just gave me a discount of several million yuan?"
Although it meant that Gu Ning wasn't short of money since she was able to buy Xiangyun Antique-store, it wasn't easy for her to be rich. Elder Xu had never seen a seller give a buyer a discount of several million yuan before.
"It's not a loss anyway, so I can make friends with you. I just hope that you won't look down on Gu Ning because she's too young," said Gu Ning. Gu Ning knew that Elder Xu wasn't an ordinary man, so it wouldn't do her any harm if she could make friends with him.
"Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha! "Great, Mr. Gu, you're a straightforward person, so I won't hesitate to accept your offer. Eight million yuan it is!" Elder Xu was also a generous man, so he wouldn't make a loss even if Gu Ning gave him a discount of eight million yuan.
Besides, Gu Ning was his friend, and Gu Ning was very mature at such a young age, so Elder Xu had a good impression of her. He was also curious about her, so he didn't mind making friends with her despite their age difference.
"How about me? I like porcelain, but I have an old friend who likes bronzes. I'll call him and tell him to come and have a look. " Master Xu couldn't wait to introduce his business to Gu Ning as soon as they became friends. Of course, it was also because his friend liked it.
"Thank you so much, Elder Xu," said Gu Ning.
"You're welcome," Master Xu said, then called his old friend at once. Before Master Xu could say anything, he heard a voice from the other side of the phone. "You old bastard, are you back in the capital?"
"I just arrived, and I'm at the antique street now. Don't you like bronzes? There are several bronzes in Xiangyun Antique-store. Do you want to have a look? " Elder Xu said. He didn't mind the other party calling him an old bastard. He was used to it. Moreover, insulting each other was their way of getting along.
"What? Xiangyun Antique-store? Bronzes? "Hearing that, the other side of the phone was excited." Great, I'll be right there. Please wait for me. "
Since Elder Xu's friend was coming, Gu Ning, as the boss, couldn't leave right away. It wasn't something important after all, so she could only send a message to Leng Shaoting and tell him to wait for a while.
Gu Ning was busy with business, so Leng Shaoting didn't mind waiting for her.
40 minutes later, Elder Xu's old friend arrived. Before he walked inside, he shouted loudly, "Hello, Elder Xu!"
"Over here," said Elder Xu at once. An old man around 70 walked over happily.
If Leng Shaoting was here, he would definitely recognize him. This old man was Jiang Zhongyu, who used to be the owner of the museum and the president of the Antique Association, Leng Shaoting had told Gu Ning before.
However, Gu Ning didn't know who Jiang Zhongyu was.
Jiang Zhongyu was followed by two bodyguards.
