Chapter 23: Complete Victory

  Zhang Zhonglin also knew that those truly valuable antiques with artistic value indeed had a spiritual aura, at least he was half a professional, if he hadn't even heard of the phrase "only similar in form but not in spirit" it would be too ridiculous.

  But having heard is not the same as hearing, and at this time he was unable to put this sentence into practice because he didn't have that level, nor could he understand the subtle charm contained in a precious antique.

  It's even more impossible for Zhou Ming Luo to distinguish between a genuine antique and a fake one based on intuition alone.

  If a well-known domestic appraiser said so, it would still be convincing, but at Zhou Ming Luo's age, just play on one side.

  I think this guy saw Ren Lijuan and Yang Dan, two beautiful women, completely convinced by his own abilities, and completely ignored his existence. He deliberately found such a lame excuse to show off his presence.

  "I'm telling you, Mr. Zhou, this is a bit too much, do you really think that chair is fake? You're not just going to say something like that and expect us to believe it, are you? If you want to say it's new, then you should come up with some convincing reasons."

  With a strange smile, Zhang Zhonglin looked at Zhou Mingluo with a stupid expression. Is this guy trying to show off or has he gone crazy? He's actually foolish to this extent?

  Even Ren Li Juan and Yang Dan were speechless, they were indeed shocked by Lei, because they were not as good as Zhang Zhong Lin, who didn't even know the existence of Shen Yun.

  "Cough, Zhou Ming Luo, it's not that I don't believe you, but what you're saying is really too unrealistic."

  Ren Lijuan coughed lightly and opened her mouth, speechless. Yeah, even if you say it's fake, you have to give a convincing reason, right? If Zhou Ming Luo could come up with some professional insights like Zhang Zhonglin did before, finding flaws and weaknesses from that chair, then he would have the ability to convince people.

  But on the other hand, it's a ridiculous thing to do, everyone has feelings about this kind of thing, but if you feel that an antique is genuine then go buy it, and if you feel that an antique is fake then don't buy it, what's the point of having those professional people around? Are they just there to annoy people?

  It was also with Zhang Zhonglin and Ren Lijuan's words that the middle-aged boss, who was still nervous at first and even more shocked by Zhou Mingluo's professional ability, changed his face again. However, this time the change in color was from initial shock to instant ecstasy.

  Can't he be unhappy? Originally thought that his own fake goods had been seen through again, but the other party is a real master, although this master is a bit too young, but it's genuine.

  The problem is that the people around this master don't believe him at all! This is really ridiculous. Since Ren Lijuan and others don't believe Zhou Mingluo, and Ren Lijuan is actually willing to spend money to buy this chair, doesn't that mean he can really sell it and make a fortune?

  In his excitement, the middle-aged boss's gaze at Zhou Ming Luo was filled with admiration and a hint of sympathy. "Big brother, I know you're an amazing person, a true tough guy, but unfortunately your companions are too foolish to believe in you, this is the internal conflict among you."

  This feeling is truly too happy, it almost brings him a surge of tears streaming down his face.

  "I'm telling you, big brother, is that all you've got to say? I'm not here to peddle my own antiques, but if you only talk about feelings without any real evidence to prove this chair is new, it's really hard for people to believe. If buying antiques just relies on feelings, then what's the point of having professionals like us?"

  Although he was happy to the point of tears, under the pressure of profit, the middle-aged boss spoke again and stirred up another round. He had no choice, with a master like Zhou Minglai around, if he didn't quickly settle this deal, the fat meat that was within reach might fly away again.

  As he spoke, Zhang Zhonglin also smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, although I don't want to question your professionalism, but this time Li Juan bought this wheelchair was to fulfill a filial piety, some unreasonable words can be avoided if possible."

  Finally, there was an opportunity to thoroughly criticize Zhou Mingluo, making him lose face all the way back to his grandmother's house. Zhang Zhonglin still maintained a kind smile and a sincere expression on his face, without any hint of disdain for Zhou Mingluo, but those words were indeed not polite.

  Zhou Ming Luo directly pointed out that this was done on purpose to disturb and annoy, intentionally trying to disrupt Ren Li Juan from buying a birthday gift for her grandfather.

  If this crime is true, it can be imagined how Ren Lijuan and Yang Dan will look at him. For your own sake, you have to destroy the opportunity for others' daughters to show their filial piety to their elders, isn't that disgusting?

  Also with these words, Ren Lijuan's eyes suddenly had a hint of doubt, as if she was seriously considering the possibility. Yang Dan's eyes did not have any suspicious color, after all, she and Zhou Mingluo knew each other for 15 or 16 years, and clearly knew that he wasn't that kind of person. However, even though she believed him, Yang Dan was still speechless at this time, and couldn't find a reason to defend Zhou Mingluo, so she could only roll her eyes in exasperation.

  Sweat...

  Zhou Mingluo was really helpless, he had thought that even if he went to explain to Ren Lijuan and others, they might not believe him after all. His reason was too illusory, without any scientific theoretical basis. If it were a well-known master, there would naturally be convincing capital, but he couldn't.

  So at this moment, there's nothing unexpected about this situation, just a bitter smile.

  However, he still made his last effort and whispered in Yang Dan's delicate red ear again, "I've done my best, if you believe me, it's better to advise her not to buy that chair."

  "Really?" Yang Dan furrowed her brow, she herself didn't know whether to believe Zhou Ming Luo or not. After all, his explanation just now was too absurd. But then she looked at him seriously again and saw the sincerity in his eyes, without any evasion. Only then did Yang Dan whisper, biting her cherry lips, "Okay, I'll go try."

  It was also at this time that Zhou Ming's eyes flashed with a hint of comfort, at least Yang Dan still tended to believe him, even if the other person himself thought his theory was absurd, but she still chose to believe in herself, and this feeling of being trusted was actually not bad.

  Yang Dan then stepped forward to stand beside Ren Lijuan, pulling her aside for over ten paces before starting a hushed conversation. However, just a moment later, Ren Lijuan gave Yang Dan a helpless glance and walked back, saying to the middle-aged boss, "This chair, will you sell it for 500,000 or not?"

  "Ah~" The middle-aged boss was visibly stunned, but he quickly shook his head, "No way, the price of 500,000 is too low. Considering you're sincere about buying it, I can give you a discount of at most 200,000 yuan, so that's 680,000 yuan. Don't even think about going any lower."

  He was overjoyed once again, although he had seen Zhou Ming Luo's efforts and the private conversation between Yang Dan and Ren Li Juan. However, Ren Li Juan's words still revealed her final attitude. Since the other party no longer trusted Zhou Ming Luo at all, he would not miss the opportunity to make a fortune even if he was excited.

  "'680,000?' Ren Li Juan slightly furrowed her brow and looked at Zhang Zhonglin with an inquiring gaze. Upon receiving this gaze, Zhang Zhonglin's face suddenly flashed a hint of excitement, as if today's outcome was indeed his complete victory."

  However, the price of 680,000 was still high. The next moment, Zhang Zhonglin stood beside Ren Lijuan and joined in the bargaining.

  The two men's determination was clear: they would no longer consider Zhou Mingluo's suggestion and had decided to buy the chair.

  This scene directly left Zhou Minglu speechless again, and he couldn't help but let out a low sigh. He had done his best.
