The bottle looked old from afar, and there were even two tiny holes in the opening. However, the enamel color of the bottle was dazzling in the light, and it looked like an old object. At the very least, it looked like an old object.
It was a fish basket!
President Zhang took the fish basket bottle from Brother Ma's hands and carefully examined it for a long time. The more he looked at it, the deeper the smile on his face became, and it revealed a dense fondness, he could not help but praise: "The fish dew is of a light purple glaze, and looking at it, it seems to be an imitation of a Jun Mo Xie kiln's object. This old man remembers that only Qing Dynasty Yong Zheng and Qian Loong's imitation of a Jun Jun Mo Xie's porcelain is most famous."
"Although there are some flaws in the fish basket bottle, and the glaze is not evenly distributed and smooth, but from my point of view, it is also an item that belongs to Yong Zheng and Qian Loong."
"This old man may be old, but he's not muddleheaded. Young man, how much are you paying for this fish basket bottle? Name a price. This old man likes it very much. This is it."
At the same time, he winked at Brother Ma. Originally, he was most worried that President Zhang would not like him, but now that the big fish had finally taken the bait, he definitely could not miss the chance to sit down and wait for death.
Brother Ma ignored Xiao Sixi's winking and instead revealed an awkward expression, "Old sir, Boss Zheng has already taken a fancy to this fish basket bottle and said he will come by in the afternoon to get it. Do you think …"
The more President Zhang looked at the fish basket bottle, the more he liked it. It could be said that he was unwilling to let go of it. "Tell me, how much money did you sell it to that Boss Zheng? The price that I offered was not low, and money is not a problem, so I won't let you down."
After pondering for a while, he explained carefully, "Old sir, doing this doesn't seem to follow the rules right? Yesterday, Boss Zheng already set a price of thirty thousand yuan, and seeing that you like it so much, I feel troubled."
President Zhang hesitated for a moment, then returned the fish basket bottle to Brother Ma. He picked up his two walnuts and continued to rotate, but his gaze still continued to glance at the fish basket bottle from time to time, and he said resolutely: "This old man will offer forty thousand yuan, are you selling it? "If you don't sell it, then this old man won't force you into a corner and steal our property. Leaving right now wouldn't break your business rules either."
Seeing President Zhang's actions, Brother Ma was secretly delighted in his heart, he was still trying to figure out whether he could do more, but Little Six was already impatient: "Brother Ma, Boss Zheng hasn't paid yet, and Old Mister really likes this fish basket master, so just sell it to him, it would be great if Old Mister can help you with this. Boss Zheng, please apologize to him properly, I believe he can understand too."
Hearing Xiao Liu Zi's words, Brother Ma inwardly cursed him for spoiling his own plan, but at this point, he had no other choice, so he gritted his teeth and decisively said: "Since old sir has said all this, then you also really like this item. If you continue to act pretentiously towards me, then I will break the rules and sell this fish basket bottle to you as an exception, then Boss Zheng will also explain it to you, and won't make things difficult for you at all."
President Zhang had been waiting for a long time for these words of his. Now that he had achieved his objective, he was naturally smiling from ear to ear, using his POS machine to swipe his card to pay for the fish basket.
President Zhang was very happy to be able to take down the fish basket bottle. With a radiant smile on his face and a smile on his face, he said, "Young man, look at the huge item this old man bought from you. Don't you think you need a prize to make this old man happy?"
Looking at the forty thousand yuan in his account, Brother Ma was already confused. He hadn't even earned that much money in a year, and now, he felt like slandering this old man.
However, after hearing President Zhang's words, he had to do something out of respect for him: "Hehe, old sir, since you are taking care of my business, I will definitely give you the winnings. Take a look at what is on the stall, and take any one of them.
"Then, this old man shall not be courteous!"
President Zhang's gaze searched the stalls for a long time, as if he couldn't find which one was good or bad. He impatiently pointed to a small snuff bottle and said: "I'll take that.
Brother Ma looked towards the snuff bottle that President Zhang pointed to and immediately heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Then, he personally picked up the snuff bottle and gave it to President Zhang, and said generously, "Alright, of course, as long as Old Sir likes it, you can take it. Isn't it just a snuff bottle?
Seeing that they had completed the transaction, Guan Lao Da couldn't help but to wonder in his heart, what kind of medicine was this President Zhang, as the vice chairman of the Antique Association of Sichuan, trying to sell?
He had already used the Heaven's Eye to look at the vase and didn't have the slightest spiritual energy. In other words, the vase was far worse than the Buddha statue.
Lin Xi watched the entire process of the transaction unflinchingly, and his heart wandered uneasily. Just what exactly was going on in the President Zhang's bottle gourd, yet he seemed to have suddenly thought of something.
In the next moment, Lin Xi looked at the hands of the President Zhang with rapt attention, and silently activated his Heaven's Eyes, but the gaze he shot over was not towards the fish basket, but towards the snuff bottle.
As his gaze concentrated, the snuff bottle clearly appeared in Lin Xi's mind and instantly dissolved into a ball of green light. It was just that this ball of green light was far from being as dense as the Buddha statue, and was immediately absorbed by the Sun Moon's eyes, then retracted into the depths of his eye sockets.
Lin Xi's thoughts were proven to be true, and at the same time, his heart ached with admiration. President Zhang's intentions were indeed not to drink, what he cared about was never that fish vase.
This was because he had come for the snuff bottle from the beginning until the end. What he cared about was naturally the snuff bottle as well, and that fish basket bottle was only a pretense.
President Zhang must have long known that if it was just a snuff bottle, the other party would definitely give him a good beating. But if the target was not this snuff bottle, and he did not intend to use it on purpose, then it must be because he missed something.
Therefore, he decided to play the trick. He pretended to be a fish and was willing to be killed for the sake of the snuff bottle. Moreover, the value of the snuff bottle was much higher than the fish basket bottle.
But what Lin Xi did not know was that value was only one of the reasons, because what President Zhang valued the most was the process of picking up the loot, as well as the fun of fighting with one's intelligence in the process.
Actually, besides this method, the President Zhang had many other methods to pick up the loophole, but in the end, he still chose this method. It could have been out of a whim, or it could have been because he had been brewing for a long time, but he still enjoyed the process from beginning to end.
After he finally figured out the reason behind the liveliness, Lin Xi wanted to withdraw his Heaven's Eyes. However, at this moment, his eyes inadvertently landed on an object, causing him to be shocked and overjoyed.
The object contained an azure light that was almost comparable to a Buddha statue and much more intense than a snuff bottle. However, the most important thing was not to care about what that object was, but to use his will to absorb the azure light and use it.
After a long time, Lin Xi finally absorbed all of the cyan colored light in the object. But when he regained his senses, the President Zhang had already disappeared.
When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but laugh and say: "Young lad, look at those two idiots. How could President Zhang be an ordinary person?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
