Chen Yiran didn't hold out much hope when the other party told him to help him find the building block man. In addition, there were too many things in this period of time, and he forgot about it. He didn't expect that the boss actually helped him find it.
Chen Yiran held the mobile phone, and subconsciously glanced at the direction in which he put the cabinet, and then realized that this was the house of Yinwan, and his building block man was placed in the Xinghai Garden, but he didn't bring it over: "Is it true? I have this thing. I know someone faked it."
Because some people paid a high price to collect them, some knockoffs naturally emerged on the market, which Chen Yiran had seen before.
The other party said: "Don't worry, it must be true, and the fake can be seen at a glance. Besides, the seller also collects it. If it wasn't for lack of money, he wouldn't sell it."
Chen Yiran listened and said "um": "money is not a problem, how much does he want?"
The store owner remembered the 100,000 yuan last time, and once again sighed in his heart: "He hasn't quoted yet."
"No offer?" Chen Yiran saw a lot of tricks in the shopping mall. He didn't want to buy a building block man, and he continued to go around. "I don't have time to bargain with him. He wants to be direct."
"It's like this, mainly because now there's another buyer besides us."
"Hmph." Chen Yiran hummed, thinking that this was just a means for the seller to raise the price, "No matter how much the other party offers, I will pay 10,000 more."
"..." As expected of Mr. Chen, "In that case, I'll contact him."
"Okay." Chen Yiran didn't directly ask him for the contact information of the seller. First, someone helped him to do it to save trouble. Second, he also knew that the owner of the store helped him find building blocks, definitely not for the sake of good deeds. You have to let people make a fortune in the middle.
After a while, the shop owner called again. Chen Yiran picked up the phone and answered the phone: "It's done."
"Not yet."
"Not yet?" Chen Yiran's tone contained deep doubts about his ability to do things. The owner of the store once again experienced the feeling of being an elite employee in the world's top 500, and facing the big boss every day is really not something ordinary people can do: "It's like this, the seller said that he would meet the buyer in person and have a face-to-face interview."
"In person?" Except for the building block guy who happened to meet in H City, Chen Yiran collected the rest from the Internet. These days, there are very few people who ask for face-to-face transactions, "Where is the seller from?"
"It's from City A." The store owner said here, and asked with concern, "Mr. Chen, are you in City A now?"
A big boss like him must travel all over the world on business. If he is not in City A, he will be in trouble.
"I'm here." Chen Yiran said.
"That's good." The store owner breathed a sigh of relief. "The other buyer is also from City A. The seller said that after meeting with you, whoever is more sincere will sell it."
Chen Yiran frowned slightly, the seller's behavior was very unreasonable. This kind of thing is a very simple transaction. Even if you want two buyers to bid, it can be done online. There is no need to make an appointment to meet.
He was sincere with him, why didn't he say who is the lucky person for this building block? Chen Yiran didn't believe his rhetoric at all. Even if he really talked about sincerity, he would definitely be more sincere to those who gave more money.
"Who is the seller?" Chen Yiran asked.
The shop owner said: "I only know his online name. He is a big guy in our circle. There are many out-of-print building blocks, not only from Merlot, but also from other brands. But he never sells them, only Post it on the Internet to show off. To be able to collect so many out of print, the economic conditions are definitely not bad.”
Chen Yiran thought about it and asked him, "Do you know the information of another buyer?"
"I asked about it, but he wouldn't say it."
Chen Yiran pondered a little, and agreed: "When and where to meet?"
"I'll send it to you right away."
"it is good."
Chen Yiran hung up the phone and received a text message from the shop owner. The other party made an appointment in the private room of Tianxiaju, and the time was set for tomorrow afternoon.
Chen Yiran replied "I know" and put down the phone.
The store owner received his message and let out a sigh of relief. This transaction was really profitable, and the seller promised to give him a sum of money regardless of whether the transaction was successful or not.
Last time, everyone could sell 100,000 building blocks. This time, the price is definitely higher.
Just thinking about it makes me a little excited.
On the other side, Li Linlin also received a call from Lu Yuxuan's child: "Sister Linlin, the building block person you asked me to find for you last time is being sold!"
Li Linlin had just finished recording the variety show and was on her way back to Yinwan. There are three couples in "Let's Love From Today". The content they have recorded in the past two days can be broadcast for two episodes. For the time being, she can rest for a while, but tomorrow night she has to rush to Youxian Mountain to record "Dinner in the Woods".
She sat in the nanny's car and asked Lu Yuxuan on the other end of the phone, "Really? How does the other party sell it?"
"He wants to make an appointment with you."
"us?"
"Yes." Lu Yuxuan said in a childish voice, but he discussed the matter in a decent manner, "It seems that there is still one person who wants to buy it, and the seller said that he would invite you to meet and see who is more sincere."
"..." This kind of condition is really rare in the Internet age, "Where is the seller from?"
"Don't worry, he is from City A, and he will meet you in the world."
"Oh..." Li Linlin thought that she was a female star now, wouldn't it be inconvenient to go out casually? However, she can wear a mask and a wig, and disguise it, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
"But Sister Linlin, you have to be mentally prepared. This building block man is a hidden version of the original. It is extremely rare. If you sell it alone, the price will not be low, not to mention that there is a competitor now!" Lu Yuxuan has already begun to help Li Linlin estimate the price. "If the other party really wants it and the budget is sufficient, it is likely to reach more than 100,000 in the end."
Li Linlin had seen that little building block person before, but it was really small, about ten centimeters tall. Although the joints could move, it was not an unusual technique. She was a little surprised when one sold for 100,000 yuan: "Is there such a market?"
"Yeah, this seller is originally a collector and is very famous in the circle. This time I heard that he suddenly ran out of money, so he reluctantly took it out and sold it."
"Oh..." This scene is quite comprehensive, "Well, please send me the time and place."
"OK."
Li Linlin received Lu Yuxuan's WeChat, and he sent a location.
"House in the world?" Li Linlin raised her eyebrows, okay, at least the local selection was not bad, and she was very friendly to famous people like them.
The next day, she dressed up in disguise and went out sneakily. The seller should be a careful person, and it is not just a private room that lives in the world, but a distinguished VIP private room. This kind of private room is in a separate area, dedicated to celebrities and rich people, and celebrities can often be seen coming and going.
The seller's appointment was three o'clock. In order to let the other party feel her sincerity, Li Linlin arrived ten minutes earlier. Unexpectedly, the other buyer was more sincere than her. When she arrived, he was already sitting in the private room.
What's even more incredible is that this person looks exactly like Chen Yiran!
Li Linlin was immediately stunned on the spot.
Chen Yiran heard someone coming in, thinking it was a seller, but when he looked up, he saw a young girl with red hair.
Her dress is very flamboyant, not only her eye-catching fiery red hair, but also her black sleeved shirt and long boots. If a knife is attached to her waist, she can directly make her debut.
She was dressed up so flamboyantly, but she wore a mask on her face. The mask, like her clothes, was also cool and pure black.
Chen Yiran glanced at her and knew that she was not a seller. Li Linlin was a little nervous when she saw his gaze. Fortunately, she stabilized, and did not reveal any flaws in front of Chen Yiran. She walked steadily to the sofa and sat down.
She also sat in a very dragging posture, which was very in line with her current personality.
Chen Yiran glanced at her again, and then looked away. He took a sip of the tea the waiter had just mixed with him, and didn't speak.
The room was quiet for a while, and then someone came in, this time a young boy. He was dressed in a fashionable fashion, with a denim fanny pack slung over his shoulder. After entering the private room, he first glanced at Chen Yiran who was sitting at the table drinking tea, and then turned to look at Li Linlin on the sofa.
"Yo?" Seeing Li Linlin's outfit, he raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, "On the road?"
"..." Li Linlin glanced at him and nodded coolly.
"Disrespectful." The boy casually folded his fists towards her and put the bag on his shoulders on the table, "I brought the two building blocks you want, and they are here."
As he spoke, he opened the zipper of his fanny pack and took out the building block man. Li Linlin looked at the table and saw the hidden version of the legend.
That is a princess wearing a pink princess dress and a crown on her head. She can't see anything special, but this is the shrewdness of the business. It is out of print and hidden, and the value goes up immediately.
Chen Yiran could see at a glance that this was the last building block figure he was looking for, Hua Hua in a princess costume. This building block man is real, a fake can't deceive him.
He put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the young boy opposite: "Tell me, how are you going to sell it?"
The boy giggled twice, looked at him, and said to the two of them, "Well, let's talk about why you bought this building block man first."
Chen Yiran said with an expressionless face, "Collection."
The boy leaned in his direction, as if speculating about him: "You don't look like someone who likes to collect toys? Shouldn't you be more likely to collect wine, antiques, etc.?"
Chen Yiran glanced at him: "It's true that I don't like it, but I have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and this set is worse than this one."
"Oh... So that's what it is." The boy pretended to nod suddenly, then looked at Li Linlin on the sofa, "What about you, Dao's sister?"
Li Linlin coughed lightly, lowered her voice deliberately, and answered her question: "I am also a favorite."
"Pfft, it's really interesting." The boy couldn't help laughing, "You two don't look like people who can collect this, a business elite, a black gang eldest lady, I didn't expect your hobbies to be so innocent."
Li Linlin: "..."
"Miss, tell me, how many building blocks are there in this series? What are their names?"
"..." This embarrassed her, Li Linlin, "I bought it for a friend."
Chen Yiran, who was sitting at the table, hooked his lips very slightly.
