Chapter 380: He is not useless

Although Xu Tian revealed his name, Mu Qiu nian didn't seem to want to believe that good luck would fall on him, so he was very hesitant.

"I see that these porcelain pieces of Manager Mu are very pleasing to the eye, so I want to buy them all."

"Manager Mu, just name your price; don't worry about other things."

"Pleasing to the eye?"

Everyone around was shocked to hear Xu Tian's words. Even laymen wouldn't spend so much money on antiques just because they were pleasing to the eye.

Now Xu Tian wanted to acquire all the porcelain in Mu Qiu nian's hands, and the reason was just that they were pleasing to the eye. Isn't this a living, breathing spendthrift?

Mu Qiu nian clearly didn't expect Xu Tian to say this either. His expression was a bit tangled, as if he was weighing his conscience and his current situation repeatedly.

Finally, he said to Xu Tian: "Mr. Xu, all the porcelain in my shop is here. Since you say they are pleasing to the eye, then I will give you a 20% discount and charge you one million."

One shouldn't be too greedy. Since Xu Tian wanted to acquire all the porcelain in his hands, he naturally had to show some sincerity.

In fact, when Chen Sanping was publicizing everywhere that this batch of porcelain was fakes, he had already given up hope of selling this batch of goods. Now that he saw someone willing to buy, it could already relieve his urgent need.

One million plus the small savings he had on hand was enough to pay the rent and the wages of the employees in the shop, and enough for him to hold on for another half a month. As for the future, he could only plan again.

Upon hearing this, Xu Tian waved his hand indifferently: "Manager Mu, just sell them to me at the original price. I don't like buying discounted things. You just said selling them to me for one million was a 20% discount, so the original price is five million. If you are sure there is no mistake, I can write you a check now."

Others didn't know, and even Mu Qiu nian himself might not know, that there was a priceless treasure among this batch of porcelain.

But Xu Tian had glimpsed the secret because of his memories from his previous life. This was originally him taking advantage, so he naturally wasn't willing to let the other party do business at a loss.

In his previous life, Mu Qiu nian had a mental breakdown and suffered from severe depression precisely because that piece of porcelain was bought by Chen Sanping at a price lower than what he collected it for.

And at this moment, the price of five million should be far higher than the price Mu Qiu nian collected this batch of porcelain for. In this way, even if Mu Qiu nian discovered later that the porcelain that passed through his hands was auctioned for a high price and was a priceless treasure, at least his heart wouldn't be too unbalanced.

Antique shop owners like Mu Qiu nian have long been mentally prepared for the rise and fall of the prices of antiques that go through their hands.

In his previous life, the reason he became ill from depression was still because of Chen Sanping's actions, which was equivalent to forcibly cheating a treasure from his hands at the lowest price.

And like Xu Tian now, although there is a suspicion of improper trading by using the memories of his previous life, Mu Qiu nian was going to sell this batch of porcelain anyway. Then he might as well acquire it at the original price, which could also allow the antique shop of the other party to come back to life.

However, Mu Qiu nian was still a bit surprised by Xu Tian's words. He often dealt with rich merchants, and even those rich people always bargained, wanting to buy the antiques in his hands at the lowest price. Never had anyone like Xu Tian who didn't even want the discount he offered voluntarily.

And these words of Xu Tian caused an uproar in the shop again.

"Is this person a fool? He could have gotten a discount, but he insisted on buying at the original price. Does he have too much money and nowhere to spend it?"

"Who would let go of the Song dynasty blue-and-white porcelain in Boss Chen's hands and insist on buying the fakes in Mu Qiu nian's hands?"

"I really don't know what the Tang family is thinking, actually sending such an idiot to buy antiques, simply losing all the face of the Tang family!"

"This kid looks quite handsome, but it's a pity he has no brains. Is it true that beauty and wisdom cannot be obtained at the same time in this society?"

The people around were discussing, either mocking or teasing.

And Jiang Yan, at this time, wanted to strangle Xu Tian. If it weren't for Xu Tian, they wouldn't be so embarrassed.

"Mr. Xu, this is not a joke. You want to spend several million to buy a pile of useless fakes back; how are you going to answer to the group?"

"Do I need you to ask how I answer?" Xu Tian raised his eyebrows slightly, his tone a bit displeased.

"You..." Jiang Yan was choked by Xu Tian and couldn't speak, his face flushed red, and finally he spat out one word.

"You are the person in charge appointed by Tang Zong, so naturally you don't need me to ask. It's just that I am a group manager, and I always put the group's interests first. I do this just because I don't want the group's interests to be damaged!"

"If Mr. Xu insists on going his own way, then I can only call to report your actions to the group's high-level officials and ask the high-level officials to make a decision!"

"Whatever," Xu Tian still had an indifferent tone.

"Good! Very good! I will call now!"

Jiang Yan was truly angered, and immediately called the group's high-level official Du Zhongyan directly.

Du Zhongyan could also be considered a veteran of the Tang Group. At this time, he was having a meeting with other high-level officials and several elders of the Tang family in the conference room at the group headquarters.

Du Zhongyan wanted to hang up the phone immediately when he heard the ringtone, but seeing that the caller ID was Jiang Yan, he smiled apologetically at the people around the conference table, immediately picked up the phone, and walked out of the conference room.

Five minutes later, Du Zhongyan pushed the door open and walked in with an ugly face.

"Elders, let's put other things aside first. There is a situation in Pawa. Jiang Yan called to ask for instructions, hoping we can make a decision..."

"What happened over there?"

Tang Jihuai frowned and looked at Du Zhongyan, seemingly dissatisfied with him disrupting the rhythm of the meeting. But when he heard Du Zhongyan explain the ins and outs of the matter, he was immediately furious.

"What is Xu Tian playing at? It was already an exception to let him go to Pawa. He doesn't humbly learn and listen to the opinions of Manager Jiang and several experts, but instead acts like a fox pretending to be a tiger and goes his own way. Simply absurd! Does he really think the group is a place where he can do whatever he wants?"

Other high-level officials also complained one after another.

"Tang Zong was indeed wrong this time. What qualifications does such a straw bag have to enter the group to work? Even less qualified to be a Tang family son-in-law!"

"Hehe, he is not useless. Isn't it an ability to be able to fool Tang Zong around?" Tang Jihuai sneered: "It's simply nonsense to be able to hand over such an important task to him!"

The Great Elder sitting beside Tang Jihuai glared at Tang Jihuai upon hearing this: "Old Six, stop talking nonsense!"

"Big Brother, isn't what I said the truth?" Tang Jihuai retorted unconvinced: "Now Tang Zong is being fooled around by this pretty boy Xu Tian, and the entire group and the Tang family don't allow anyone to hold opposing opinions." ===== CHAPTER 381 =====
