Chapter 0627 The antique store abroad (II)

“Horse next door, when Hitler that old boy, how not to blow up Paris?”

Zhuang Rui out of a store, in the heart of indignation cursed, when Japan will destroy the devastation of China, this motherfucker Hitler also occupied Paris, how did not rob all burned ah?

Just heard that waist thicker than a bucket of boss lady said, this street was built in 1886, experienced two world wars, have not been a little bit of damage, which makes Zhuang Rui heart is very unbalanced.

Compared with Hitler who is a bit artistic and loves beautiful buildings, the Japanese Emperor is simply a mongrel.

“Zhuang Rui, come look at this one, there are so many Chinese things inside!”

Zhuang Rui who already didn’t really want to stroll, after hearing Qin Xuan Bing’s shout, he hardened his head and chased after him, this is also what he wanted to come to, so he can’t spoil his daughter-in-law’s excitement, right?

“Hm? Still really ……”

Zhuang Rui into the store swept a glance, the store area is not small, divided into five or six areas, initially into the door of the place, placed all the Chinese handicrafts, of course, in the Zhuang Rui did not use the aura to identify before, these things can only be called handicrafts, we must know, “Made in China” is very strong.

There are a lot of friends traveling abroad, see some very exquisite handicrafts, then ready to buy and bring back to do a souvenir, who knows to the domestic take to friends to show off, those handicrafts below a few English letters made in China, very clearly explains the origin of these things.

As expected, in Zhuang Rui some careful identification, these things are exported to domestic sales, either used to fool foreigners who do not understand Chinese culture, is used to deal with those who come to foreign Taobao Chinese, anyway, seems to be a beautiful thing, none of them is true.

On the other side, there are some European medieval cold weapons and armor, but also scattered many spears, halberds, war hammers, tomahawks and bows and arrows, just Zhuang Rui ride eye to eye, even if you do not use the spirit of qi, from the pulp of these things can also be seen, all are modern handicrafts.

On both sides of the corridor, are closed and locked glass windows, which are placed in many countries style handicrafts, there are Japanese paper fans and vanity boxes and other lacquer ware, those paper fans, painted are some spring paintings, it seems that this should be the earliest prototype of the Japanese AV industry.

In the glass window, there are various lighters that have been worn out of color, even the old revolvers and flintlock pistols, neatly lined up in a row in the glass window.

These objects are let Zhuang Rui very carefully observed once, just let him disappointed, looks like some years of contraptions, in fact, or modern handicrafts.

Simply from the appearance and pulp, Zhuang Rui is unable to distinguish the age of these objects, but under the observation of the aura, the authenticity of these things is naturally difficult to hide, Zhuang Rui did not think that this counterfeiting and piracy is also so prevalent in Europe ah?

Walked to the innermost part of the store, is some of the 12th century end of the Renaissance works, the most conspicuous is of course, Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael’s oil paintings, but with the butt think also know, these things must be fake.

In addition, under the oil paintings hanging on the wall, there were many clocks that looked like they were from the 18th and 19th centuries, there were pocket watches and wall clocks, in various styles, there were about fifty to sixty of them, and on top of each of them, there was a very small label with the price on it.

“Hmm? This watch is good.”

Zhuang Rui pointed to a piece of pocket watch with a silver chain in the glass cabinet, and said in English to the middle-aged French man who had been looking at him, “May I ask if you can understand English? Please take out that watch, I want to take a look at it.”

“Of course I can understand it, sir, I’m happy to help you.”

The middle-aged man courteously bent down to Zhuang Rui, took out a set of keys from his waist, opened the glass cabinet and took out the pocket watch that Zhuang Rui wanted to see.

The middle-aged man called Reynolds, in his grandfather’s grandfather’s generation, this store exists, to now has been almost a century, Reynolds is also considered a foreign antique merchants it! From Zhuang Rui just into the store, he noticed, this looks like a young man, should be a connoisseur.

Since entering the 21st century, China’s spending power greatly improved, now foreign businessmen, will no longer think that generous is the Japanese, on the contrary, there are a lot of foreign businessmen, now have learned a few words of Chinese, used to communicate with those who are Chinese luxury customers.

Zhuang Rui naturally do not know what this middle-aged shopkeeper playing what idea, he is now focused on this piece of pocket watch above.

The silver chain on the pocket watch, because of oxidation has become a little dull, slightly gray, and on the surface of the pocket watch, is a pair of enamel filigree character pattern, there are red, black and yellow three colors, above the character wearing the 18th century gentleman’s clothes, the image is extremely realistic.

After Zhuang Rui pressed the machine Juan at the top of the pocket watch, the cover of the watch then popped up, it was very sensitive and did not become sluggish because of the passage of time, it seems that the maintenance is very good, of course, the pointer inside has stopped rotating, because this is indeed an antique pocket watch.

“Twenty thousand euros?”

Looking at the price on the silver chain, Zhuang Rui couldn’t help but frown, he could see with his aura that although this piece of watch contained an aura inside, it was only white, and not very thick, in other words, the value wasn’t very high.

In the country there are not Kangxi Qianlong years left behind the Western watch, the price is generally in the 100,000 yuan or so, this piece of table price 20,000 euros, some beyond the Zhuang Rui’s psychological price, in the jargon, that is, although it is a “have a look at the” object, but the opening is the price of heaven.

“This thing can be cheaper?”

Zhuang Rui raised the enameled filigree Western watch in his hand and asked Renault.

Reynolds shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, “Oh no, this gentleman, this watch was left behind by my grandfather, it needs at least 20,000 euros, it really can’t be cheaper.”

“Damn, how come it’s the same accent as those treacherous merchants in China? Either ancestor or grandfather, this foreigner is not in Panjiayuan set up stalls, received professional training?”

As soon as Zhuang Rui heard Renault’s English with a French accent, he cursed straight in his heart, it is estimated that this Frenchman is also practicing stalls to start, authentic French artifact dealers.

“Okay! Since it was left by your grandfather, a gentleman does not take away a person’s favor, I will not buy it, you continue to keep it in memory of your grandfather!”

Zhuang Rui shook his head and handed the pocket watch to Reynolds, he was here to pick up leaks, not to pick up garbage, this thing is only worth a hundred thousand or so in the country, to spend two hundred thousand dollars to buy it yourself abroad, isn’t that sick?

“Oh sir, if you really want it, the price is still negotiable, I believe that my grandfather in heaven, also hope that the things he likes can have a good home.”

Reynolds saw Zhuang Rui did not hesitate to return the pocket watch to himself, knowing that the price of 20,000 euros scared Zhuang Rui, he understood in his own heart, although this thing is the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, but there are many left behind in Europe, the price is actually not very high, that is, about four or five thousand euros.

“No …… no, can’t say that, if your grandfather knows that you sold this thing, will definitely scold the grandson that you are not filial.”

Zhuang Rui heard Renault’s words, the heart is almost laughing, around the idle egg pain, today is holding a bellyful of fire, simply amuse this one.

Zhuang Rui heard before, foreigners have never taken their own families seriously, if you praise the fucking good-looking, want to have some super-friendship with the fucking relationship, I guess that foreigners will also rush to give you sales, now it seems, really is so.

Zhuang Rui’s words were spoken in English, and Renault couldn’t hear that his grandson was cursing, so he took the pocket watch and said, “Ten thousand euros, sir, this is the lowest price.”

Zhuang Rui shook his head, he really does not have much interest in this thing, if 10,000 euros to buy, back home can buy a million yuan, Zhuang Rui will also consider, but the difference of a few tens of thousands of dollars, there is the possibility that it will be smashed in the hands of Zhuang Rui is not going to do this deal.

When he wanted to say no, Zhuang Rui suddenly remembered something, said: “This thing we will discuss later, may I ask your store, is it only these things? There is no some older objects? Or some damaged paintings, books and so on?”

Zhuang Rui suddenly thought, in Panjiayuan often people with antiques door to door trading, this street is equal to the Parisian Panjiayuan, it is not allowed to say that there will also be days can not live, living not so nourishing foreigners come to sell things?

“Oh no, sir, your words are my insult, you know, my store is the largest art store in Paris, of course not only these things, in the warehouse, there are many more valuable goods.”

May be Zhuang Rui meaning to express not too clear, make this name and looks, and that French big-nosed actor Jean Renault some similarity of the guy, emotions become a little agitated, gibberish corrected Zhuang Rui’s mistakes, mouth from time to time also sprang out a few sentences of French.

“Sir, I think you are misunderstanding my meaning, I mean, I don’t like anything here, if you have something I like in your warehouse, then money …… is definitely not a problem.”

Zhuang Rui heard that this store also has a warehouse, his eyes suddenly lit up, in the domestic antique store, the good things are absolutely not on the shelf, are placed in a hidden warehouse or safe, anyway, most of Zhuang Rui’s treasures are in the basement.

Zhuang Rui just do not know the French antique store owners, is not also have this habit?

After clarifying his meaning, Zhuang Rui also took out a gold card of a famous Swiss bank and shook it at Renault, if the other party knew what he was talking about, he should know that the overdraft amount of this card could reach 5 million euros.
