Chapter 234: Confiscating Property, A Picture Within a Picture!!
Let’s not talk about anything else.
That means his shop.
He spent almost all of his wealth.
Any one of their rare treasures could buy an entire shopping street.
He is not afraid of losing his money.
She is also the type who responds better to gentle persuasion than force.
A head-on clash? Who's afraid of whom?
"How serious is it?"
"Kid, tell me about it!"
Tang Yunfeng said with a contemptuous look.
"To say how serious it is, you'll at least have a major hemorrhage."
"Today is not just about losing money; it may cause your prized possessions to shrink by half."
Chen Le said, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Upon hearing this, Tang Yunfeng couldn't help but burst into laughter.
If that old Mr. Li said it, it would carry some weight.
Where does this young man in front of me get his confidence?
Tang Yunfeng stroked his mustache and sneered, "Adults are talking, and you, a little kid, are pointing fingers at me!"
"Didn't your parents teach you manners?!"
After making a couple of mocking remarks to Chen Le.
Turning to Mr. Li with a smug look, he said, "Mr. Li, that's the situation. If you want a refund, I'll give you one right now. But let me make this clear: according to the rules, I'll keep every penny I'm supposed to retain!"
Old Li raised his head and said with a smile, "No need to return it. Even if the deal falls through, we can still be on good terms."
"To be honest, I'm here today to patronize your business!"
"Mr. Tang, since I'm already here, I might as well pick out a couple more items from you!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Yunfeng's eyes lit up instantly, and he became interested.
Hey?
That's really rare!
This is the first time I've seen someone who's not content with being cheated and ripped off, but is addicted to throwing money away.
So much fun!
The more of these gullible customers, the better!
As long as you come, we'll take all your business.
Tang Yunfeng laughed heartily, waved his sleeve, and said, "Haha, since you're here to shop, I naturally welcome you with open arms!"
"Mr. Tang, don't speak too soon."
"If I manage to snag a huge bargain, don't be upset."
Old Li glanced at Tang Yunfeng with a half-smile and said.
"Of course not."
“Mr. Li, I have a lot of treasures in this room, but whether you can find any bargains depends on your ability.”
Tang Yunfeng was satisfied and gestured for him to proceed.
He knew the contents of the collection in the room very well.
But he kept his priceless possessions very well hidden.
Although the counterfeit goods displayed in front of his door were quite valuable, he knew exactly how much they were worth and how much profit he could make.
Naturally, they won't lose much.
He absolutely refused to believe that a Hong Kong businessman who had just suffered a loss could take away the real treasure.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Li's gaze fell upon Chen Le.
"Don't worry, Mr. Li, I'll give you a surprise next."
Chen Le chuckled softly, then slowly turned around and glanced around.
Soon, he arrived at a display case from the Republican era.
His gaze swept across the shopkeeper's room.
My fingers gently landed on that seemingly ordinary calligraphy and painting by a modern poet!
There was a glint in his eyes that was hard for others to detect.
"Ah."
Upon seeing this, Tang Yunfeng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile!
He crossed his arms, clearly showing his disapproval.
"This is a work by a modern poet and painter. Although he is somewhat famous, to be honest, he is not very popular in the market."
"If you're interested, I'll pay ten thousand yuan."
Tang Yunfeng, with a detached gaze, casually introduced the painter's information and background.
Assistant Liang and Mr. Li exchanged a puzzled look.
They couldn't understand why Chen Le would be interested in such a clichéd and worthless work.
"make a deal."
Chen Le, however, acted decisively, taking out a wad of cash from his pocket and placing it heavily on the counter.
"This young man is quite the hero!"
Tang Yunfeng gave a thumbs up and laughed heartily.
He accepted the money and quickly wrote a simple transaction certificate, handing it to Chen Le.
While handing over the certificate, he also returned the 2000 yuan to Chen Le.
Not only that, but he also looked amused and deliberately emphasized his tone, saying sarcastically:
"Judging from what Mr. Li was saying just now? Young man, you're quite the expert?"
"However, to be honest, my skill level still needs improvement."
"How about this, I'll only take 8000 of the 1 yuan, consider it as you helping me clear out my inventory."
“These modern painters are not appreciated by the wealthy, and those without money are unwilling to invest in them.”
"It's a good thing you picked it out, otherwise, this item might not have been able to sell for three or five years."
After saying that, he crossed his arms with a smug look on his face.
The onlookers were even more confused by what they saw!
Some people even started whispering, wondering if the young man had made a bad deal.
And more and more people are watching.
They all roughly understood the situation; it seemed that Chen Le and his group had been harassed at Tang Yunfeng's shop.
"Brother Chen, this is a fake!"
Assistant Liang's face immediately turned very ugly, and he almost wanted to step forward to stop him, but was held back by Mr. Li!
Mr. Li's eyes were filled with curiosity and anticipation, as if he wanted to see what Chen Le would do next.
Chen Le accepted the returned 2000 yuan without saying much, just smiled faintly.
Then, he slowly took the painting into his hands and began to examine it carefully.
The crowd immediately gathered around Chen Le and the others, whispering and discussing among themselves.
"Why are there so many people? What happened?"
"I heard they were two Hong Kong businessmen who bought counterfeit goods and came to return them, also wanting to prove a point. They even brought an expert with them!"
"This is truly a rare occurrence! Where are the experts?!"
"Isn't that the young man? He's picking out an antique right now!"
"No, he's way too young! What experience could he possibly have?"
"Yes! To be honest, I don't have a high opinion of this young man!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, their attitude suddenly shifting to one of disapproval, clearly indicating that they had no expectations for Chen Le.
Even Zhao Xiangfei, who had been eager to see Tang Yunfeng in an embarrassing situation, didn't think this young man could amount to anything!
The antique business requires accumulated experience, a unique eye, and personal talent; age is definitely a factor!
This young man named Chen Le is at most around thirty years old, how dare he get involved in this mess?
Not only will they fail to make a splash, they'll likely embarrass themselves.
"Shh-"
Suddenly, Chen Le raised his hand.
His actions immediately drew everyone's attention.
He reached out and carefully tore a slit along the edge of the picture frame.
As the action continued, a thin layer of paper gradually became visible.
When the complete inner layer was revealed to everyone!
Everyone held their breath!
what!
This painting actually contains a hidden secret!
The legendary painting within a painting!!!
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a blooming peony!
