After the little bug had flown into the thick and heavy vase, Li Du was surprised to see that there was so in there!
It was the contents that had attracted the little bug What it had seen was a bronze pot with a straightinto a round abdomen, with short stout feet below
There were two folded beams at the neck of the pot One resembled a bird's beak and the other was a beast's head There were rings around the pot's ated lines Between the lines were patterns of clouds The entire design looked intricate
Once the little bug had wiggled into this bronze pot, it opened its mouth to absorb its time capability
Li Du quickly stopped it, and then made enquiries about several iteentleman with spectacles, spun a pair of walnuts around in his palm
He could tell that Li Du didn't look like a collector of antiques, and so gave him cursory replies When Li Du asked him about the prices, he would just quote the prices without elaborating
After nal
The two had been working together for a long tinal, Hans understood what he wanted He looked at the vase at the door and asked, ”hello, elderly sir, I think this vase looks special Is this antique Chinese porcelain too?”
The owner did not understand English, and so Li Du translated
After listening to the translation, he gave a perfunctory s Dynasty double-eared lotus vase If you like collecting Qing Dynasty antiques, this vase would be a good choice”
Hans asked, ”How much is it?”
The owner said, ”Fixed price: 10,000 yuan”
Li Du frowned ”Isn't this price a bit too high, boss? Since you're using this vase to keep the door open, it's obviously not a genuine antique My American friend likes it How about you offer a better price?”
The owner took a sip of tea ”Well, your A this stuff To tell you the truth, this double-ear lotus vase is just an i Dynasty style”
Li Du said, ”He likes big and heavy things He probably wants to buy it to decorate his living room”
The owner pondered this for a ive you a sincere price: 2,000 yuan This vase costs 2,000 yuan!”
Li Du said, ”Reduce it by a little more—how about 1,000 yuan? You can use a chair to block the door instead, and earn an easy 1,000 yuan”
He knew that when buying antiques, one could not be too eager If he acted as though he was too keen, it would arouse the other party's suspicion
Sure enough, the owner did not see tiresome He waved his hand ”Deal—I'll sell it to you for 1,000 yuan, but you'll have toany manpower”
Li Du nodded with a s the owner 1,000 yuan, he released the little bug into the vase
