Everyone sat down in the living room, the old woman brought a teapot and poured a cup of black tea for each person, Jiang Hao saw the teapot and wanted to complain very much, it was another set of Chinese porcelain, looking at the exquisite workmanship and the patterns on it, maybe it was also a set of royal supplies.

The old man looked at Jiang Hao and asked, "Do you know those porcelain?" ”

"I don't understand," Jiang Hao shook his head.

"Then why do you want to buy them?"

"I just think their colors and patterns are beautiful, I'm a painter." Jiang Hao brought out his previous words again.

"Well, art is connected, just like this lady, her beauty, whether it is a child or an old man, will fall in love with it." The old man complimented Marlena again.

Jiang Hao was powerless to complain, it seems that this old guy's playboy attributes have been integrated into the bone marrow, and he will not forget to please women whenever and wherever he wants.

"My uncle, Baron Siscock Mario, was a naval admiral and conquered that eastern country, which was once very powerful, and Marco Polo wrote that it was a country paved with gold."

"One of their dynasties, which once hit Europe, was the Mongols, the mighty Russia, the Ottoman Empire, all trembling under their iron hooves......"

Sir Mario was very eloquent, telling some of the history he knew, and the antique shop owner and Marlena listened to it with relish, but Jiang Hao felt very embarrassed, because the history told by this old man was all specious, many of them were wrong, and there were some legends he made up himself.

"Sir Mario, I have to interrupt you, I want to say that I am here to buy a vase, not a story." Jiang Hao said.

The trick of selling antiques and selling stories has long been played by the Chinese, and Jiang Hao doesn't want to waste too much time with him.

Sir Mario shook his head, "You're such a boring person, you should know more about history, so that you can broaden one's horizons, well, now let's talk about these antiques, I don't think the price I set is high, they are definitely worth the price." ”

Jiang Hao spread his hands, "If you insist, then we have nothing to talk about." With that, he stood up and pulled Marlena to leave.

"Wait a minute, young man, your personality is too impatient, please sit down, I haven't finished yet, but since you're here, I also want to give a little sincerity, are you right?" The old man said urgently.

Jiang Hao laughed in his heart, he was so down, he was still playing in front of me, how could a nobleman only use a servant, although the pajamas on his body were luxurious camel hair coats, but the cuffs were already fried, this old man should be very poor now, Jiang Hao has the capital to take care of him.

"I'd like to hear the price." Jiang Hao said.

"Well, I'll give you 500 lira cheaper per piece, that's my biggest concession." The old man gritted his teeth.

"Forget it, I think I can go and buy a few beautiful glass vases for decoration, and those only cost a few dozen lira each." Jiang Hao said.

"Young man, this is a different concept, this is an antique from the East."

"It's no different for me, it's just worth it and not worth it."

"Then how much money are you prepared to pay?"

Jiang Hao pretended to mutter, "500 lira each." ”

The old man jumped up suddenly, "No way, they are all antiques, I will never sell them so cheaply." ”

When it came to money, the old man suddenly lost his grace.

Then Sir Mario and his godfather, Mr. Bernarno, started a tug-of-war in the living room, and Marlena was stunned for a moment, Jiang Hao never cared so much when he bought clothes and leather bags for himself, why is this the case today.

Is it because she loves me, so she spoils me, Marlena suddenly felt very sweet, and watching the man and the old man bargain also felt very interesting.

At last... At last... At last...

The price was finally negotiated, Jiang Hao paid 1,800 lira per piece, and bought 5 pieces together, a total of 9,000 lira, Jiang Hao asked Marlena to pay the bill on the spot.

The five pieces of porcelain were in the car of the antique shop owner, and several people came out and moved a few pieces of porcelain to Jiang Hao's bodyguard's car, and the antique shop owner got a commission of 500 lira and said to Jiang Hao: "Go back together, Mr. Bernano." ”

"No, I'm going to go back and talk to Sir Mario again, and I suddenly think the history of the Eastern country he said is very interesting." Jiang Hao said with a smile.

The owner of the antique shop was stunned for a moment, and then realized something.

The other party bought these antiques and asked him to bring them to the master's house, I am afraid that he not only wants to buy these few pieces, but he has been used, he suddenly feels that he seems to have lost a lot of money in this business, and he can't figure out where the loss is.

Looking at the four strong bodyguards on the other side, he still decided to leave here.

Jiang Hao took Marlena back to the manor again, and after seeing Mario this time, Jiang Hao said straight to the point: "Mr. Mario, I heard the owner of the antique shop say that you still have a lot of such oriental antiques, can I appreciate them, maybe there are still ones I like." ”

"You still want to buy it, of course you can, but they're all piled up in the basement, and there is no special storage room, so it should be a bit messy." The old man said.

He was naturally happy to be able to sell it for more money, but he had been consigning this kind of thing for a long time before such a customer came.

Holding a string of big iron keys, the three of them walked through the corridor of the manor and came to an iron door, the old man used the key to open the iron door, turned on the electric light inside, and took Jiang Hao and Marlena down the spiral staircase, down about two stories high, an iron door appeared in front of him again, and the old man pulled inside the pile of iron keys again, and found one to open the iron door.

A faint musty smell came, there was an electric light in the basement, Jiang Hao looked inside, and found that the area of this basement was very large, the height was also very high, and it was not depressing, and there were a lot of sundries piled up in it, there were old furniture, porcelain, some boxes, and some covered with cloth and I didn't know what was underneath.

There is a layer of dust on all these things, and it is estimated that no one has cleaned them for some years.

Jiang Hao walked in, looked at it, and took out a scroll in a jar, which was obviously a Chinese painting, there were more than a dozen such scrolls in this jar, he untied the rope casually, opened it and took a look, and found that it was a portrait of a person.

Some are ugly, some are familiar.

this

Isn't this a portrait of Huang Taiji, he remembers that he seems to have seen the portrait of the twelve emperors of the Qing Dynasty before, and he has seen this picture, among the twelve emperors, Shuhuang Taiji is the fattest, and the emperors behind him are thinner than the other, so he has some impressions in his mind.

The portrait of the authentic emperor should be hung in the temple, but I didn't expect it to fall here to eat ashes.

"Sir Mario, how many of these Oriental antiques do you have?" Jiang Hao asked casually.

"The family has records that there are a total of 1,900 of these oriental antiques, and of course, now you have to remove the few pieces in your hand." Mario said.

Jiang Hao paused for a moment and said, "Mr. Mario, do you intend to sell them all at once?" ”

Sir Mario was taken aback, "Why, you want to buy them all." ”

Jiang Hao shrugged, rolled up the scroll in his hand, threw it back into the jar just now, clapped his hands and said: "I don't know if this thing has any collectible value, I want to invest to see if it can appreciate in the future, of course, the price can't be expensive, if it's expensive, I think there is no value in investment, you know, so many things, it's not a small amount of money." ”

Mario rubbed his hands together with excitement on his face and said, "If you can buy them all, of course I can give you a good price, I have wanted to leave here for a long time, and when I have the money, I will go back to Rome and continue to enjoy my life, instead of being in the poor countryside." ”

Jiang Hao's heart moved when he heard this, "Sir Mario, is it that even this manor has to be sold." ”

"If someone is willing to buy it, of course it will be sold, I have already lived here enough, if it weren't for the lack of money, who would come here." Sir Mario said.

The cub doesn't feel distressed to sell Yetian.

"Sir Mario, let's discuss it with this manor." Jiang Hao said with a smile.
