Chapter 459: Hou San Makes a Move
Chapter 459 Hou San takes action (first update, please subscribe!)
To be honest, Zhou Jianguo actually didn't notice these Bagua Mirrors when he first started. It was just that the Cave Heaven Orb sent a signal to him. In addition, after seeing these Bagua Mirrors, he unconsciously recalled those zombie movies of his childhood.
, recalling that Uncle Jiu discovered this treasure here, otherwise, he would not have noticed these Bagua Mirrors.
The truth of the matter was also guessed by Zhou Jianguo. These Bagua mirrors are not very popular in the antique street. Those antiques that everyone likes most are popular categories of antiques, such as calligraphy and painting, ancient jade, porcelain, etc., and Bagua mirrors
Not many people like such unpopular things as mirrors.
Why did the stall owner put away some Bagua mirrors? It was not because these Bagua mirrors were difficult to sell. If they were easy to sell, haha, don’t you believe it, then the stall owner’s stall would be full of Bagua mirrors.
This is just like selling things in a supermarket. Good things and popular things are placed in the most conspicuous places in the supermarket. Things that are not popular are placed in the most remote places.
Holding a Bagua mirror, Zhou Jianguo also experienced the feeling of a zombie Taoist priest. He imitated the posture of Uncle Jiu when he captured the zombies in the movie. He pointed the Bagua mirror in his hand at the surroundings while chanting in his mouth.
It seems a little childish.
However, Zhou Jianguo didn't care, because it was his nostalgia for his childhood, and Zhou Jianguo didn't care about being childish.
After experiencing his childhood wish, Zhou Jianguo put away the Bagua mirror, carefully put it aside, and then began to ask the stall owner for the price.
"Boss, these two Bagua mirrors of yours are very good. I like them very much. I want to buy them. I wonder, boss, what is your price?"
Hearing this sentence, a hint of surprise flashed in the stall owner's eyes. This was what he was waiting for, so he immediately said the price he had thought of with a smile.
"Little brother, I believe you also know that this is a Taoist Bagua mirror handed down from the Tang Dynasty. It is made of the highest grade brass. No, it still looks like new. Such a treasure is very rare.
It is rare to find, but also very collectible.
Moreover, our Tianshi Mansion has already consecrated these Bagua mirrors. If we really talk about them, these two Bagua mirrors can be regarded as a kind of magic weapon. Therefore, the price of one Bagua mirror is five thousand yuan.
As long as you pay 10,000 yuan, you can own these two Bagua mirrors handed down from the Tang Dynasty, which are also Taoist magic weapons. Little brother, don't miss this opportunity."
"Boss, I didn't expect that you don't look so old, but you have quite a big appetite. A Bagua mirror costs five thousand yuan. Boss, you really do mean what you say for this price."
Zhou Jianguo exclaimed in surprise and looked at the stall owner in disbelief.
"Damn, this boss's skills are really bad. He's obviously taking advantage of his friend! Five thousand yuan, how dare you say that!" Zhou Jianguo kept complaining in his heart, and the stall owner opened his mouth widely, which made Zhou Jianguo feel uncomfortable.
believe.
This is not a popular collectible. If you have porcelain and paintings handed down from the Tang Dynasty, five thousand yuan for one piece does not matter. But this is an extremely unpopular Taoist Bagua mirror. To put it bluntly, Zhou Jianguo
If it weren't for those zombie movies when I was a kid, I wouldn't have wanted to collect these two Bagua mirrors.
It's just an extremely unpopular Bagua mirror. This stall owner really dared to speak so loudly. Zhou Jianguo was also a little stunned.
As for saying that it is made of the highest-grade brass and has a beautiful shape, haha... these are all mere words. Anyone who believes them is a fool. Therefore, Zhou Jianguo simply ignored these words.
What kind of magic weapon are you talking about? If these two Bagua mirrors were really magic weapons, they would have been enshrined by your Tianshi Mansion long ago. How could you sell them in the market? You really think I am a fool, so...
Use nonsense words to deceive me,
If these two Bagua mirrors were really magical artifacts, let alone 5,000 yuan, even if they cost 50,000 yuan, I'm afraid countless people would rush to snatch them up. Would you still sell them at a street stall like this?
Seeing the rich expression changes on Zhou Jianguo's face and his eyes full of contempt, a hint of embarrassment flashed through the stall owner's eyes. He basically didn't dare to look into Zhou Jianguo's eyes. The price he offered, he himself
Of course I understand how much moisture there is.
But after all, he has been setting up a stall here for more than ten years, and he can be considered a proven profiteer. Therefore, although he feels a little embarrassed, the expression on his face has not changed at all, and he is still calm.
With a determined look on his face, it seemed that the two Eight Trigram Mirrors of the Tang Dynasty in front of him were indeed initiated by the Tianshi Mansion.
Judging from the stall owner's shamelessness, Zhou Jianguo was right when he said he was a complete profiteer.
"Little brother, I am from Tianshi Mansion. I really brought these two Bagua Mirrors from Tianshi Mansion. You will definitely not lose money if you buy them." The stall owner also wanted to fool Zhou Jianguo.
Zhou Jianguo smiled and shook his head and said: "Boss, maybe you brought these two Bagua Mirrors out of the Tianshi Mansion, but if you want to say that they are magic weapons, then, haha."
Zhou Jianguo didn't say anything else. The stall owner's face turned slightly red at this time. After Zhou Jianguo exposed the excuse of the magic weapon, the stall owner knew that it was impossible for him to ask for a higher price.
"What is this guy's background? He looks very young, but his eyesight and behavior make him look like an old fox in his thirties or forties. He is really difficult to deal with!" the stall owner thought secretly in his heart.
He would never have imagined that Zhou Jianguo's strength age (soul age) was indeed forty years old, and he was still an experienced veteran who had been in the future society for more than twenty years. If he really wanted to talk about it, even the stall owners were no match for him.
"Little brother, you are awesome. Since you think the Bagua mirror is not worth 5,000 yuan, then you can tell me a price." The stall owner said directly.
"Although this Bagua mirror is from the Tang Dynasty, Taoist artifacts are extremely unpopular in antique shops. Except for Taoists, no one will be interested in these things. Therefore, I think three hundred yuan
This price is just right. How about it, boss, do you think this price is okay?"
"What, three hundred yuan, that won't work, no, three hundred yuan is too low. To put it bluntly, three hundred yuan is not enough for me to take them out of the Tianshi Mansion. No, at least it will cost me
Four thousand dollars!”
The stall owner shook his head very resolutely, but he also knew that Zhou Jianguo was a good judge of goods, and, as Zhou Jianguo said, things like Bagua mirrors were quite unpopular in antique shops and he wanted to sell them.
The sky-high price was unthinkable, so he subsequently lowered the price by another thousand yuan. This bargaining range was truly sincere.
"Four thousand yuan? Boss, are you crazy? For four thousand yuan, I can buy the most top-grade Tang Sancai. How can I still sell these two Bagua mirrors of yours? However, I really like these two
It is a Bagua Mirror, so I would add a little more, maybe five hundred yuan. I believe this price is high enough. After all, Taoist Bagua Mirror is really unpopular. If I didn’t really like it, I wouldn’t even take a look at it.
"
Zhou Jianguo used various methods to continuously suppress the price. Finally, he took the initiative to raise the price. Of course, the range was very small, only from 300 yuan to 500 yuan.
Zhou Jianguo knew very well that from the time he started asking for prices, a war had been going on between him and the stall owner, a war using these two Tang Dynasty Bagua mirrors as bait. In the end, who would win or lose would depend on their respective
means.
"Five hundred yuan, how do you look down on these two Bagua mirrors? Don't forget that they were passed down from the Tang Dynasty. The two names of Tang Dynasty alone are worth five hundred yuan. The price you are offering is too low. I am
I won't accept it. Although these two Bagua mirrors are not magical objects, they are also
Our Tianshi Mansion has been cultivating it for more than a thousand years, and it also has some magical effects. You only pay 500 yuan for such a Bagua mirror. Isn’t this an insult to it? If you want to buy it, you need at least 3 yuan.
Fifteen hundred yuan, otherwise, you don’t want to buy these two Bagua mirrors from the Tang Dynasty!”
The stall owner also kept using excuses to improve the quality of the Bagua Mirror and then increase the price. No, he directly gave the two Bagua Mirrors the title of a fake magic weapon, which immediately made the two Bagua Mirrors more popular.
The style has gone up a few notches.
Of course, this is just a means of bargaining. In order to sell, the stall owner still lowers the price by another five hundred yuan.
While Zhou Jianguo and the stall owner were bargaining, the black-hearted rat Hou San and Yuan Jie were standing not far away, secretly observing Zhou Jianguo's actions.
After seeing Zhou Jianguo starting to bargain with the stall owner, the faces of the black-hearted rats Hou San and Yuan Jie suddenly showed joy.
For Hou San, the black-hearted rat, a good opportunity for him to make a fortune came, while for Yuan Jie, an opportunity for revenge and fortune came together.
However, Yuan Jie was still very smart. He did not directly deal with Zhou Jianguo. He knew that once he came forward, Zhou Jianguo would definitely not be fooled. Only by letting the black-hearted rat Hou San and the younger brother around him come up could he figure it out.
Zhou Jianguo.
Yuan Jie was very direct. He found the black-hearted rat Hou San, first explained his identity, and then said to the black-hearted Hou San: "Hou San, as long as you can figure out that damn casual cultivator this time, let him kill him hard."
Blood, it’s best to find an opportunity to trick this kid. As long as you succeed, I can make the decision to let you join the Iron Sword Sect, how about it?"
In order to take revenge, Yuan Jie was quite generous.
The Iron Sword Sect is a first-rate sect. It would be extremely difficult for ordinary warriors to join, let alone a stained guy like Hou San, the black-hearted rat. Without Yuan Jie, he would have never been able to join.
Don’t even think about joining the Iron Sword Sect in your next life.
"Young Master Yuan, don't worry, Hou San will definitely help you handle this matter. He is just a casual cultivator, and I will teach him a profound lesson that he will never forget." Hou San, the black-hearted rat, said with excitement.
.
This is the best opportunity to join Iron Sword Sect. How could Hou San miss it?
Hou San knew very well what would happen to him in the future if he continued like this. He could already imagine it. He believed that he would either be killed because of a conspiracy against some big shots, or he would be killed due to internal strife among his accomplices.
Hou San didn't want to end up like this, so he had been looking for an opportunity to escape. Now that Yuan Jie had brought this opportunity to his door, there was no way Hou San would miss it.
He knew that it was very difficult to plot against Zhou Jianguo. Otherwise, how could Yuan Jie, the eldest young master of the Iron Sword Sect, be at a loss until now? But this was his chance, as long as he could help Yuan Jie severely
If you trick Zhou Jianguo once, he will be stable for the rest of his life.
For the sake of a stable life for the rest of his life, Hou San risked his life.
"Very good, Hou San, I, Yuan Jie, will do what I said. I hope you won't disappoint me."
"Young Master Yuan, don't worry. I, Hou San, may not be very good at other things, but scheming against a young man for antiques is a matter of course. Just watch the show!"
After saying this, the black-hearted rat Hou San walked towards Zhou Jianguo with excitement.
Yuan Jie and the other boys around him continued to stay here to watch the show and did not follow him, so as not to arouse Zhou Jianguo's alert and lose this opportunity for revenge.
But what they don't know is that they have long been under Zhou Jianguo's mental surveillance, and their every move, word and deed is within Zhou Jianguo's 'sight'.
".Two thousand two hundred yuan, this is my last quotation. If I can, I will pay now. If not, forget it. At this price, I can buy a Tang Sancai. Boss, if you still disagree,
I can only say sorry."
Zhou Jianguo said with a serious face that this price was indeed his last price. Even if it was a dollar higher, Zhou Jianguo would not take it.
Two Bagua mirrors from the Tang Dynasty, and they are not famous paintings from the Tang Dynasty. Two thousand two hundred yuan is already a top price. If Zhou Jianguo didn't really like these two Bagua mirrors, he wouldn't have asked for one thousand yuan.
.
The stall owner looked at Zhou Jianguo. He could tell that this time Zhou Jianguo was indeed telling the truth. He wanted to negotiate a lower price, but he was afraid of really angering Zhou Jianguo and left. So in the end, the stall owner
I still decided to leave it as soon as possible.
Just like Zhou Jianguo said, although these two Bagua mirrors are from the Tang Dynasty, precisely because they are Bagua mirrors, the price is basically not high. Under normal circumstances, the price is seven to eight hundred yuan.
This time, if the stall owner had not known that Zhou Jianguo and others liked these two Bagua mirrors, the price would never have reached the price of 2,200 yuan, and the deal would have been completed for 800 or 900 yuan at most.
"Okay, let's make the deal at this price. These two Bagua mirrors from the Tang Dynasty belong to you, little brother." After saying that, the stall owner took out two boxes, packed the two Bagua mirrors, and handed them to Zhou Jianguo.
Zhou Jianguo didn't say anything more. He took the two boxes with a smile, took out 4,400 yuan and handed them to the stall owner.
In fact, the price can still be discussed. Zhou Jianguo is confident that he can get it with one thousand yuan, but who said that the black-hearted rat Hou San is coming soon? If he arrives, then Zhou Jianguo will not say that he will get it with two thousand two hundred yuan.
Well, maybe he would have to spend tens of thousands of dollars to win it.
There is one thing that Yuan Jie sees very accurately, that is, Zhou Jianguo really does not want to let things he likes, just like these two gossip mirrors of the Tang Dynasty, if Hou San comes to interfere, no matter what Hou San's price is
No matter how high the price is, Zhou Jianguo will follow him until he buys these two Bagua mirrors.
"Hou San, hehe, you want to trick me, let's see who is tricking whom?" Thinking of this, Zhou Jianguo showed a sinister smile on his lips.
If the stall owner hadn't been counting money and couldn't see the sinister smile on Zhou Jianguo's lips, he would have been shocked and would have wondered whether Zhou Jianguo had some conspiracy waiting for him.
Fortunately, the stall owner was counting the money and didn't see it. Otherwise, it's hard to say what would have happened next.
"Don't you want to use antiques to trick me? Well, I'll use antiques to play with you too." Zhou Jianguo looked at an antique on the stall and already had an idea in his mind.
"Boss, how do you sell this ancient book?" Zhou Jianguo picked up an ancient book on the side and asked.
"Oh, this ancient book is not expensive. You can take it for five hundred yuan!" the stall owner said with a smile.
Zhou Jianguo is a big customer, and he can cheat as much as he can.
The previous two Bagua mirrors were sold for more than two thousand yuan each. This ancient book must be sold for two to three hundred yuan.
"." Zhou Jianguo was extremely speechless. Although this ancient book was from the Ming Dynasty, it was a very ordinary ancient book, similar to modern notebooks, and the person who wrote this ancient book was not a famous person. So
To be honest, the ancient books in the antique market usually only cost three to five yuan each, but this stall owner, my dear, directly offered five hundred yuan.
"This really treats me like a stick!" Zhou Jianguo was speechless in his heart. He knew that the reason why this stall owner offered such an outrageous price was actually because of his 'generosity' just now, so he
It is only natural that such an outrageous price is offered.
To be honest, if Zhou Jianguo hadn't used something in this ancient book to trick Hou San, he would have left right now. Of course, he would have taken away the Bagua mirror made by Liu Bowen.
"Three yuan!" Zhou Jianguo said calmly.
"This guy is a bit powerful. He actually told the true price of this ancient book at once. It seems that he really liked those two Bagua mirrors just now, so he took advantage of me like this." The stall owner thought secretly in his heart.
However, thinking that it was time to give Zhou Jianguo a price, he continued to do so. Therefore, the stall owner quickly quoted a new price: "Four hundred yuan, this is an ancient book from the Ming Dynasty. It has extremely high collection value.
One hundred dollars, you really made a profit."
"Four hundred? Haha, I don't want four hundred. How about forty. I have hundreds of ancient books like this over there. I'll buy them for you. One book only costs forty." Zhou Jianguo took out it.
The trump card is to kill the stall owner instantly with one move.
"Grass (a kind of plant), this guy is really awesome. It seems that my attempt to make a fortune this time won't work." The stall owner looked discouraged. Zhou Jianguo said this, pointing out the true price of the ancient books.
If he insists on a price of several hundred yuan, he is no longer doing business, but directly robbing.
The stall owner was from Tianshi Mansion no matter what, so he still wanted to save some face, so instead of talking about a price of several hundred yuan, he directly said he would sell it to Zhou Jianguo for forty yuan.
However, Hou San has not arrived yet, so Zhou Jianguo and the stall owner began to bargain over the price of this ancient book.
"Twenty yuan, twenty yuan is my last price. If it weren't for reading this ancient book, I would have to think about it even if you gave me five yuan. It's only twenty yuan, one more point for me.
Neither." Zhou Jianguo directly issued an ultimatum.
To be honest, at the price of twenty yuan, the stall owner could earn at least fifteen yuan, so the stall owner immediately became a little interested and thought about whether this was the deal.
However, the most astute businessman, he did not immediately nod in agreement, but began to pretend to think.
Zhou Jianguo was not in a hurry, or in other words, he was hoping that the stall owner would not agree immediately. The protagonist Hou San had not entered the venue yet, so Zhou Jianguo did not rush him, and just looked at the stall owner and waited for the stall owner to make a decision.
Of course, if the stall owner really agrees to this price, Zhou Jianguo will continue to lower the price. He will not let this transaction be completed until Hou San arrives.
Fortunately, Zhou Jianguo was indeed God's son. When Hou San arrived, the stall owner did not agree.
Very promptly, another voice suddenly came from beside Zhou Jianguo, a voice that Zhou Jianguo had been looking forward to for a while.
"Boss, how much does this ancient book cost? The calligraphy on it is really good. I can buy it and use it as a copybook for my children."
This voice immediately broke the calm, and both Zhou Jianguo and the stall owner turned their heads and looked over.
Zhou Jianguo knew very well that this person was Hou San. He was pointing at the ancient book and asking the price with a look of curiosity. However, Zhou Jianguo knew very well that most of Hou San's eyes were actually on him, and he was observing carefully.
own reaction.
How can Zhou Jianguo disappoint Hou San, or in other words, he wants to make Hou San think that he is an extremely proud person. Only in this way, when the subsequent bidding price becomes higher, Hou San will continue to follow with confidence, otherwise, if Hou San
After San realized his caution, it was impossible for Zhou Jianguo to use this ancient book to trick Hou San severely.
"Hey, don't you know this is a first-come, first-served basis? I'm interested in this ancient book. What do you mean by bidding now?" Zhou Jianguo shouted loudly at Hou San. It seemed that he had a very bad temper.
The person who rushes.
"It's a joke. If you say it's yours, it's yours. Did you pay for it? No, right? So, this ancient book is still a commodity. Since it is a commodity, you and I are qualified to buy it. It's up to you.
"Hou San also didn't give in at all.
He is quite shrewd and knows that it is best to deal with a person when he is angry and is the easiest to be deceived, so he wants to anger Zhou Jianguo and make him lose his mind because of his anger.
