Chapter 2615: Peeping in the Dark
Lin Ran returned all the amulets to him, stopped bargaining with him, and turned around to leave the store.
As a result, I only took two steps when I heard him walking behind and shouting: "1000 US dollars, you can take all three."
This is already the biggest concession he has made.
Hans felt a little weird when he heard this, because in their cultural model, there is rarely bargaining. Basically, the price is clearly marked, or it is directly auction mode.
After all, they have never experienced the blushing experience of being in an antique market with a stall owner, and finally buying the antique at an incredible price.
Lin Ran knew that once the price concession was opened, the final pricing power would no longer be in the hands of the stall owner, so the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Other tourists were not interested in the Buddhist amulets, so they just looked at them briefly and left. Moreover, they just heard the price quoted by the stall owner and thought it was too expensive.
It was precisely for this reason that the stall owner decided to chase Lin Ran back. He had to make some money to go back, otherwise he would not be able to explain it to his family.
Lin Ran turned around, but did not walk towards the stall. He just shook his head hesitantly from a distance: "1000 US dollars is too high. The highest price I can give is [-] US dollars. This is my bottom line."
Since the other party took the initiative to give in, Lin Ran was no longer polite.
The stall owner even ran out and grabbed Lin Ran. This was probably the first customer he would meet today. As the saying goes, a good start means a fortune.
The two parties once again had a heated discussion on price. After several back and forths, the stall owner said respectfully: "Okay, 600 is 600! Pay with one hand and deliver with the other!"
"You have to invoice us." Lin Ran said.
"Don't worry about this, we are a regular merchant." The stall owner replied. After getting the money, he went to the stall and was busy for a while. It took about 8 minutes to complete all the procedures. Finally, he handed over all the invoices and Buddhist amulets. Passed it to Lin Ran.
A small black box was also sent as packaging.
Lin Ran put the black amulet into the box and handed it to Hans.
"Mr. Lin, is there anything special about this Buddha amulet? Is it considered an antique?" Hans asked curiously, because he didn't know whether the Buddha amulet was considered an antique, at least in his opinion, he didn't seem to have any collection. value.
"This is a Buddhist amulet worn by people in the imperial palace in the Qing Dynasty."
Hans was greatly surprised. He did not expect that this ordinary amulet would be worn by people in the palace.
But if you think about it carefully, the palace is not full of dignitaries, but also maids, eunuchs and the like. Buddhist culture was quite popular in the Qing Dynasty.There is nothing unusual about wearing it. "
"It's only been worn by people in the palace. Is it really worth the price?" Hans asked. Originally, he didn't care about the price, but Lin Ran kept the price so low.He was still a little curious as to whether it was worth it.
"What if he wore it before?" Lin Ran smiled.
Although it was unclear who had owned this amulet, Lin Ran could clearly feel the historical atmosphere on it, and the former wearer was also a woman.
It no longer matters who the owner is, this is a matter left to the museum to study.
This thing must have been taken from China, and it was probably not a separate piece of jewelry.
After returning all the cultural relics, it will take a long time to classify the cultural relics. It is really a huge historical project.
It only takes less than five years to be robbed, but it takes decades or even hundreds of years to restore it to its original state. This is the biggest difference between destruction and maintenance.
If a Buddhist amulet is put up for auction, it won't be worth much money. Most people don't believe in Buddhism and just use it as a souvenir to decorate their bodies.
Lin Ran was convinced that this piece of obsidian was the best obsidian and was also the biggest source of treasure in the stall. After buying it, the stall's attraction to him disappeared.
The three of them left the stall without stopping and walked to other places.
After just buying a Buddhist amulet, Hans was not yet assured of Lin Ran's abilities.
According to his initial estimate, there should be tens of thousands of folk cultural relics scattered in the state. Even if some of them were taken away by Chinese overseas shoppers, there should still be hundreds of pieces on the market, so he wanted to take Lin Ran to see them. look.
Most of the tourists who come here come here for the purpose of making money, but their goal is just the opposite. They don't care about making money, they just want to buy authentic cultural relics.
Not long after they left, the two stalkers from before also came to the stall.
The stall owner greeted them warmly, and it turned out that the two men looked serious and showed their work ID cards.
He is a special investigator for the James family and also an agent for Verberle.
The stall owner turned pale after seeing his work permit and immediately explained: "I'm just selling Buddhist amulets, I didn't do anything bad?"
"What did those three people buy from your stall just now?" the detective asked directly, without answering the stall owner's question.
The stall owner struggled to describe the appearance of the amulet he had just sold. The detective wrote down the general shape and asked him if he had any photos.
After checking all the details, they left the stall and followed Lin Ran and the others.
The photo of the obsidian amulet was sent back to James' laboratory. The antique talents in the laboratory immediately began to study the amulet, and found that it turned out to be the amulet used by Princess Zhuyu in the late Qing Dynasty. It was their 260-year-old amulet. It was snatched back from China before.
The market price of this Buddhist amulet is not high, and even if Eagle Country knew about it, it would not forcefully recover it.
However, James was secretly surprised.
After all the calculations, Lin Ran only stayed at the stall for less than 5 minutes, and the number of Buddhist amulets on the stall amounted to more than 600 yuan. It was really surprising that he could find the authentic ones in such a short period of time.
The antique talent thinks that Lin Ran just looks young and must be a certain age. Otherwise, how could he find the best in a short period of time? This is definitely not consistent with his age.
Only James was thoughtful. This boy was probably the inheritor of the secret technique of appraising treasures.
The agents continued to follow Lin Ran, and they also accelerated their research in the laboratory.
The reason why James is so eager to master the secret of treasure appraisal is that his family also has several treasures brought out from the legendary ancient tombs. Unfortunately, he found some Chinese experts to study them, but he was not able to decipher the contents. He even couldn't even I can't understand the text above.
He was extremely convinced that these things could only be understood by those who mastered the secret skills of treasure appraisal.
In China, he really had no way to deal with the Lin family, but when they appeared on the territory of Eagle Country, James smiled coldly, maybe this was the best opportunity God gave him.
