Chapter 2617: Closing
Lifting up the stall owner's father is a negotiation tactic that can usually shorten the distance between the stall owner and the stall owner.
Of course, this is not deliberately flattering. Although Gobi jade is jade, it can only be used to make handicrafts because its quality is very poor. It has neither the texture nor the permeability of jade. It is called jade because it comes from chemistry. classified on.
The stall owner laughed, seemingly satisfied with Lin Ran's answer.
She said: "My father actually doesn't have much artistic talent. He is just a farmer, and sculpture is just a hobby."
"Unlike Mr. Jerry from the farm next door, who bought a carving machine, the jade he carved will be much more refined."
"It is precisely because this jade carving is purely hand-carved that it is valuable, otherwise it is just an ordinary industrial waste." Lin Ran said bluntly. The original green material was not very good. If it were machine-carved, no one would care about it at all. interested.
"How much are you willing to pay?" The stall owner smiled, seeming to have a good rapport with Lin Ran.
"4000 US dollars." Lin Ran said.
The stall owner frowned slightly. Although they talked very well, she was out to do business after all, and she couldn't accept the price.
"I'm sorry, I can't accept this price." There was a little regret on her face.
Lin Ran noticed that although she acted extremely sincere, she was actually a businessman. She pretended to be disappointed, but in fact her eyes were always following him, probably guessing her emotional changes.
Lin Ran would not relax his guard just because the other party was a woman. He put the jade carving back in its original position and said with a smile: "I can't accept the higher price. I think you can pass it on as a family heirloom. After all, he is also your father. A lot of hard work."
Then he turned around and prepared to take Hans and the others away.
The stall owner bit his lip, and before they could walk far, he called out to him from behind.
"Little brother, don't leave in a hurry."
"Huh?" Cliff turned his head and gave her a cold look, thinking she was looking for trouble.
Lin Ran laughed heartily. Usually, after leaving the stall, if the stall owner calls him to stop, it means that there is a lot of room for maneuver in the price.
In fact, the stall owner just now was quite honest. She did not boast about the handicrafts like other stall owners. She just wanted to sell them at a high price. She at least told herself that the jade was carved by her father himself, and her father If you are not a well-known artist, you cannot raise the price too high.
After being stared at by Cliff, the stall owner felt a little intimidated. The big man in front of her looked very fierce. She just wanted to do business and didn't want to offend anyone, so she started to withdraw.
Unintentionally, Cliff helped him a lot. Lin Ran put his hand on Cliff's chest and looked back at the stall owner with a smile: "What's wrong?"
"My father once said that if something is left to rot in your hands, it is better to sell it to someone who is destined for you."
"To tell you the truth, my father took back this jade for two thousand dollars, and it took him six or seven years to carve it."
"It's not too much for me to only earn you three thousand dollars, right?"
The stall owner is quite understanding of the ways of the world and speaks very sincerely.
Three thousand dollars is not a small amount of money.
Eagle Country's labor level is already relatively high. It took seven years to carve it out, and it only costs $3000, which is a reasonable price.
Lin Ran thought about it and felt that the stall owner was pretty good and that he might have a chance to cooperate in the future.
He pretended to be reluctant, but he still returned to the stall and picked up the jade carving just now to inspect it.
"This jade is too expensive for you." Lin Ran said.
"My father has this hobby." The stall owner said with a smile, "There are actually not many people who come to my stall to look at this jade carving, but you are the first one who really knows how to do it."
"$5000 is the lowest price I can give. If you can't accept it, then please do so."
said the stall owner.
Lin Ran shook his head: "5000 US dollars is enough for us to buy a lot of jade at the open-air market. It is much more valuable than this."
"But such a special jade carving cannot be bought anywhere else." The stall owner replied.
After another mental evaluation, Lin Ran showed a reluctant expression.
"Okay, 5000 is just 5000. Do you have an invoice?"
"Of course." The stall owner was overjoyed. This jade carving was already a staple in her stall. It had not been sold for three years. Finally, she found a buyer, and she was naturally happy to serve.
Hans shook his head. He really couldn't understand Lin Ran.
However, they agreed to the clan leader that all expenses would be borne by their organization. Even if they were reluctant, they could only pay for it.
He handed the $5000 to the stall owner, who patiently counted it, kissed the banknotes, and went to the stall to help Lin Ran pack the jade carvings, and also attached a full invoice.
"The things have been packed for you, thank you for your patronage!" the stall owner said diligently.
"By the way, there are other jade carvings in my stall. Are you interested in taking a look at them?"
The stall owner recognized that Lin Ran was a kid from a rich family. If he could buy one item, he could buy more.
Lin Ran just answered lightly: "Forget it, I really don't care much about the others."
If other stall owners heard this, they might find it offensive.
However, in this stall owner's ears, it sounded very warm.
Because this is the only jade carving that was carved by my father himself, and it is incomparable to other jade carvings.
The stall owner thought about how he valued his father so much, then took out a small piece of jade and handed it to Lin Ran.
"Little brother, this piece of jade was brought back with me when I bought it. As you Chinese would say, it should be a piece of rough jade. Because it is too small, my father cannot carve it into jewelry."
"Now I will give it to you. I hope you can keep the jade carving just now."
Lin Ran took the jade, originally thinking it was just a cheap souvenir, but when the jade fell into his hands, Lin Ran suddenly felt the powerful energy of the jade.
Since going to Myanmar, Lin Ran's perception of jade has also improved to a new level.
Just by touching it, Lin Ran already knew how precious the jade in his hand was!
It's a pity that this is an illusion, otherwise he really wants to give this piece of rough jade to Yuan Qianyun, because this is a supreme jade that is rare to see in a thousand years!
Even though it looks ordinary on the outside, it’s such a small piece worth at least five hundred dollars!
Although he knew the price of the jade in his heart, Lin Ran looked quite calm on the surface, as if nothing had happened. He held the jade in his hand and nodded to the stall owner.
"Thank you."
