  Chapter 15 Rhino Horn Cup

   "Cai Cai, this Aolong fried rice is really delicious, order it." Li Mo took a sip of the fried rice, his eyes lit up immediately, the rice grains were separated, mixed with the fresh aroma of big lobster, the taste was on point.

   "Rice takes up my stomach, just take a few bites at the end."

   The mouth was dripping with oil, and the stomach was full. The two sat there and rested for a long time before leaving satisfied.

   "Hero, I was killed by you. What should I do, I will think of you when I am hungry in the future."

   "Don't think about me, brother is just a legend."

   "If you invite me to a big meal, I will try my best to be a good tour guide. Let's go, I will take you to Panjiayuan first."

  Although it is noon, there are still many people visiting. Moreover, the scale of the stalls here is much larger than that of the Town God's Temple. At a glance, Li Mo saw all kinds of second-hand porcelain, old calligraphy and paintings, wood carvings, lacquerware, and ancient jade coins. Of course, it was almost impossible to find the real ones.

   "Hero, just watch the excitement, and don't ask the price casually. People here can take the bowls they eat at home and blow them up as if they were used by the eunuchs next to the emperor, and they even quote the classics to make it clear."

   "You know how to do it."

   "If you have never eaten pork, you must have seen a pig run away."

  The two of them stop and go, and when they meet something interesting, they will pick it up and play with it a few times.

   "Hero, look at this wood carving is very unique."

Li Mo looked at it casually and said: "This is the image of Feitian in the Dunhuang murals, but the sculptors are clumsy. Although they are stylish, they are dull, and the wood is also the most common fir. The most ridiculous thing is that they deliberately made it Do it old and make it nondescript."

   "Oh." Cai Cai put down the wood carving, feeling dull.

  The stall owner was already walking this way, but when he saw Cai Cai put down the wood carving, his face showed pity, as if he had lost a chance to make a lot of money.

   "Boss, how much is this bottle?"

  The fat man on the left of Li Mo who has been pondering over porcelain waved to the boss. He was probably in his twenties, wearing a pair of Armani glasses and an imported sportswear. He looked like a wealthy owner.

"Sir, you really have a good eye. The most valuable one in my booth has been spotted by you." The boss immediately came over with a smile on his face, "This is a Yuan blue and white dragon pattern jar I bought from an acquaintance. Look This color is crystal clear, look at the mighty and domineering dragon, it still has nine claws, which only the emperor could use in ancient times, if you buy it back and put it there, it can also suppress the feng shui of the house."

   "Boss, I just want to know how much I can sell it for?"

"One hundred and fifty thousand."

   "This jar is big. I'll go back and prepare it for flower arrangement. Boss, don't fool me. I'll take the five hundred yuan away." Fatty Armani is not stupid either.

   "Five hundred is too little. I spent eight hundred on my cost. If you take away one thousand, I will earn a fortune."

  Li Mo couldn't help laughing out loud, this boss is too funny, he offered a sky-high price of 150,000, but in the end he could sell it for 1,000, he was fooling a lot of nonsense.

  Armani thought for a while and turned his head to look at Li Mo: "Little brother, how much do you think this is worth?"

   "This blue-and-white Longwen pot is not bad. According to the current cost, it will cost about 500 yuan. The boss can resell it for 1,000 yuan. If it is me, 700 yuan is just right."

   Fatty Armani immediately said to the boss: "That's the price."

   "Little brother is an expert, so today I will make an exception and lose money to make money."

  Li Mo smiled and was about to leave, his eyes swept across the booth, and suddenly his eyes turned and fell on an object in the shape of a rhinoceros horn cup.

   "Boss, how much is that wood carving?"

  Li Mo pointed to the rhino horn cup in the corner.

  The boss didn't like him. He just broke his bargaining price, and he was still angry, so he held back his anger and said, "A thousand yuan is not negotiable."

"make a deal."

   Li Mo readily agreed. He took out his mobile phone and was about to transfer the money, but the boss was taken aback, a little surprised. Looking at the gray rhino horn cup, he looked at Li Mo again, as if hesitating.

   "Hero, why are you impulsive again? You bought a set of history books for 8,000 before, and now you have to spend 1,000 to buy a **** thing. You really are burning too much money."

  Cai Cai rolled her eyes, this hero doesn't take money seriously.

   "Boss, can you sell it for 300 yuan?"

There was a look of realization on the boss's face, it turned out that this is a good son, he immediately frowned and said: "Little girl, there is a final rule in our business, if everyone wants to go back on their word, how can we do business? "

   "I was so mad when I met a profiteer." Cai Cai glared at Li Mo angrily.

   "Sir, I have already packed what you fancy."

  The boss wrapped the rhino horn cup very neatly and stuffed it into Li Mo's arms, fearing that if it was too late, the business would fail.

  Two deals in a row, a small profit, the previous unhappiness has long since disappeared.

   After paying the payment, Li Mo put the rhino horn cup into his backpack, smiled at Cai Cai and said, "How do you know that my nickname is Er Leng Zi?"

  The three people on the scene almost fainted.

  Li Mo hummed a little tune and continued to stroll around, a thousand dollars is nothing, that rhino horn cup has a lot of background.

   "The rhino horn cup just now is a bit wrong." Fatty Armani seemed to think of something, picked up the blue vase and chased after him, "Little brother, wait a minute."

   "Dude, what's the matter?"

   "May I ask, isn't that a wood carving just now?" Fatty Armani said in a low voice, "I feel a bit like a horseshoe cup with rhino horns."

  Li Mo turned his head to look at him. This old man has good eyesight, and he can actually see something. No wonder the 150,000 blue vase was directly cut to 500. Most people don't even have the courage to bargain.

   Fatty Armani's eyes suddenly brightened: "Little brother, can you let me palm your eyes?"

   "Walking together?"

   "I can't talk about my peers. My grandfather likes to collect old objects. He knows how much he has seen. Brother, you must be a master in buying it without hesitation just now. If it is a good thing, I can buy it at a high price."

   "Do you want to collect it? Such antiques and miscellaneous items don't have a high appreciation potential in theory, not as good as those porcelain calligraphy and paintings, but the investment value preservation is not bad."

   "To be honest, my family runs a small auction house. As long as it is a real thing, a good thing, I will never talk back."

  Li Mo is dubious.

   "Little brother, don't you believe it?" Armani immediately took out a business card from his arms and said enthusiastically, "My surname is Niu."

  Li Mo took it and looked at it. Be good, the business card is inlaid with gold. On the front there is only a bronzing name Niu Yingjun and a string of numbers, and on the back is 'Kyoto New Century Auction House'.

  This somewhat narcissistic name is really awesome.

   "Boss Niu, I'm mainly here today to visit Panjiayuan, and I don't consider other things. But if I need it in the future, I will definitely contact you."

   "It just so happens that today I'm here to wander around, why not accompany my little brother."

   "Fatty, we don't know you well, so we don't need your company. Go play on your own if you have nothing to do, don't cling to us."

  Cai Cai's temper is coming again.

   "I'm sorry, Boss Niu, this girl has a bad temper."

   "Hero, who do you say is stinky?"

   "Hey, children are all the same, so I won't bother you. Little brother, if you want to make a move, remember to contact me, we've agreed."

   Seeing Fatty Niu's reluctance, Cai Cai felt a chill: "Fatty Niu."

   Then he caught up with Li Mo and asked curiously: "Hero, is the one you bought just now worth a lot?"

   "Well, it's worth some money, and it's not a loss if you spend a thousand yuan."
