Chapter 21: Professional! Professional!

  Zhang Zhonglin's words were extremely affirmative, and his eyes even showed a hint of surprise. Although he had been saying that he was an amateur just now, in fact his professional level was not low at all, and he knew very well the value of this Huanghuali armchair passed down from the Ming and Qing dynasties.

  When he confirmed that the chair in front of him was a late Ming Huanghuali chair, even though his purpose for coming this time was to make a good impression on Ren Lijuan, he was really excited at this moment.

  Because this was his first time seeing the real thing, he had only heard about such armchairs before. Being able to see a valuable antique with his own eyes was exciting for anyone who loved collecting things.

  At the same time as this sentence, the middle-aged boss next to him was overjoyed, while Zhou Ming fell into a bitter smile.

  As for Ren Lijuan and Yang Dan, although they were also attracted by this sentence, they still looked puzzled.

  Facing the two women's doubts, Zhang Zhonglin pointed to the armchair with a smile and said, "The grain of Huang Huali is very beautiful, like flowing clouds and water. It is very suitable for carving and can be cut off at will without causing brittle fracture. Other types of wood, after being hollowed out, will break on their own after a few hundred years because their fibers are naturally brittle, but Huang Huali does not have this problem. This is its unique characteristic. Look at the carvings on this armchair, it's obviously in the style of the late Ming dynasty, with extremely fine workmanship and very stable wood properties, with a small deformation rate..."

  Knowing that just saying one sentence, this armchair is real, can't show his professional level at all, and it's also hard to convince Ren Lijuan and Yang Dan, two outsiders, so next Zhang Zhonglin bent down again, pointing at the armchair one by one, starting to explain.

  This explanation is mixed with a large number of professional terms, and it can be said that the material of this armchair is definitely Huanghuali.

  The whole process, even Zhou Ming Luo couldn't help but nod continuously, because Zhang Zhonglin's words were very correct, and it was clear that his basic skills were solid. This also left Ren Li Juan and Yang Dan bewildered, as they couldn't understand a word.

  Even if it was a foggy situation, the eyes of the two women gradually changed, influenced by Zhang Zhonglin, and they began to treat this chair as a genuine product.

  This is normal, anyone who sees someone pulling out a large number of professional terms and explaining something in a garrulous manner will probably feel from the bottom of their heart that the other person is very capable and knowledgeable about this thing. As long as they have this impression, they will unconsciously acknowledge it, not to mention that Ren Lijuan already knew Zhang Zhonglin and knew that he was good at antique craftsmanship, so she trusted him very much.

  After a few minutes, after detailed explanations of all the characteristics of Huanghuali wood from various aspects, he finally concluded that this armchair was definitely made of Huanghuali. Only then did Zhang Zhonglin start to analyze the style of the entire chair and the "baosong" on it.

  Once again carefully judged, this is a Huanghuali armchair of late Ming dynasty.

  Professional!

  From head to toe, Zhang Zhonglin's explanation was full of a strong professional flavor, and it can be said that he thoroughly convinced Ren Lijuan and Yang Dan, but also made the two women more and more believe what Zhang Zhonglin said.

  Although they couldn't understand what the other side was saying, this guy's words were too logical and sounded very profound. Moreover, since it was someone they knew, they didn't even have a reason to be suspicious.

  Until finally Zhang Zhonglin stopped explaining and turned to Zhou Mingluo on one side, "Mr. Zhou, what do you think of what I just said?"

  He also knew that even if the two women believed in themselves again, those things were professional after all, and they would definitely not understand. But Zhou Mingluo was invited by them, this guy should be able to understand, right? Maybe Zhou Mingluo is just a half-baked expert who doesn't know much about it, but that's even better. As long as the other party dares to say that he is wrong, then he will lose face even more.

  These are all the experiences gained from countless years of research by countless predecessors, and he is confident that he has not made any mistakes.

  It was also with this sentence that Ren Lijuan and Yang Dan turned their heads to look at Zhou Mingluo at the same time.

  Facing the gaze of several people, Zhou Ming also nodded affirmatively, "What Chairman Zhang said just now is all correct. The characteristics of Huanghuali wood are indeed like that, and the style of Huanghuali armchairs in the late Ming dynasty is also like this."

  This is true, although Zhang Zhonglin was wrong, but the professional knowledge that the other party just mentioned was all correct.

  Zhang Zhonglin was overjoyed at once, but he also had some doubts in his heart. Did this guy really understand or was he just blindly agreeing with himself?

  If it's the former, then he should have been able to give Ren Lijuan a professional explanation earlier and shouldn't have been distrusted by her. Thinking about it this way, he was certain that this guy must be the latter, blindly following himself.

  Thinking of this, he became proud again. Even if he couldn't make Zhou Ming look more awkward, his opponent would only echo his words and had no initiative at all, and was instantly overshadowed by him.

  Just as Zhang Zhonglin was thinking quickly, Ren Lijuan on the side nodded and said, "Then can this chair be bought?"

  "Ah, if it's true, can it really be worth 700,000?" Yang Dan also looked stunned, gazing at the Huang Huali armchair in utter disbelief.

  The appearance of the two made the middle-aged boss overjoyed, he was so happy that he almost rushed up to give Zhang Zhonglin a hot kiss. If it weren't for this "professional" explanation by the idiot, this fat sheep would definitely not have made up his mind.

  "Ladies, what Chairman Zhang said is indeed very correct. I've been saying that this chair is worth the price all along." Although delighted, the middle-aged boss remained composed and didn't show too much enthusiasm.

  Because genuine Huanghuali chairs don't need his enthusiastic sales pitch, people will come running to buy them anyway.

  If he is too enthusiastic, he will fall into a lower position and it will be easy for others to see his flaws.

  "Seven hundred thousand? Boss, this chair is indeed genuine, but different huanghuali chairs have different artistic values and modern values. This chair is authentic, but overall it's not particularly outstanding. A price of five or six hundred thousand can be considered, but seven hundred thousand is a bit too high." After the middle-aged boss finished speaking, Zhang Zhonglin smiled again and started haggling over the price.

  In his opinion, the real price of this chair is around 500,000 to 600,000 yuan, so he killed it very realistically.

  After all, Huang Hua Li Jiao Yi is a hot commodity, you killed the price and killed it fiercely, others can completely ignore you.

  "After Zhang Zhonglin finished speaking, Ren Lijuan also smiled and said, 'Yes, boss, if you're willing to sell this chair for 500,000 yuan, I'll buy it directly.'"

  "Five hundred thousand? No way!......"

  The middle-aged boss was secretly delighted, but immediately waved his hand and joked that even if it were a fake, being able to sell for an extra 100,000 or 200,000 yuan would be a good thing. After all, counterfeiting also has costs. Huanghuali wood was the aristocrat of woods in ancient times, and it is still so in modern times.

  It wasn't until then that Yang Dan looked at the chair again with a look of astonishment in her eyes, 500,000? 700,000? Even though Zhang Zhonglin's professional explanation had made her head spin earlier and she was gradually convinced that this was indeed Zhang Zhen's Huanghua pear wood chair, but she still couldn't accept that a broken chair could sell for tens of millions.

  Although she had been in Xinkai for four years of college, and still lived with Ren Lijuan, a rich girl, for four years, after all, she was from a rural family in the depths of the inland plain, and it was difficult to accept such a scene at once.

  Staring at the chair in amazement, Yang Dan couldn't intervene in Ren Lijuan's trio's killing price, and then came to Zhou Ming again, saying strangely, "Did you really understand what he just said?"

  She had already felt that Zhou Ming Luo was pretending to be an insider, and she really had some doubts about Zhou Ming Luo's previous agreement with Zhang Zhong Lin.

  It was also with these words that Zhou Ming Luo couldn't help but smile bitterly once again.

  It seems that in the hearts of these people, they have already determined that they don't understand anything at all. Ren Lijuan has even started to haggle over the price now, openly wanting to buy this position, so should I speak up and advise them or not?

  After all, he still had a good impression of Ren Lijuan, and also had a friendship with Yang Dan. He knew that the other party bought this chair to celebrate his birthday, perhaps the other party could not care about the financial loss, but when celebrating his birthday, taking out a fake product as a gift would be a big disappointment.

  After some thought, Zhou Mingluo made up his mind and coughed, then turned to Yang Dan in a low voice, "Tell your friend not to buy it, this chair is absolutely fake."

  After finishing this, he raised his voice, "Director Zhang, I haven't finished speaking yet. Your explanation just now was correct, the characteristics of Huang Hua Li and the style features of late Ming dynasty Huang Hua Li armchairs are indeed as you said, but this chair is new."
