The antique shop is called "Qi Bao Zhai", a total of three facades, after opening up a lot of display cabinets, upstairs and downstairs have a total of two floors.

With the number of Asian Americans in San Francisco, it is only enough to support a few antique shops, and there are only a few people who like to collect, but some big customers encounter their favorite objects and spend money without mercy, so a time-honored brand like Qi Bao Zhai can also flourish and operate for a long time.

Last time, Chen Linzhi came and bought a set of tea sets that Yuan Shikai sent to burn before he ascended the throne, and the guys in the store still had a little impression of him.

Chen Linzhi didn't bother to look at the landscape painting of Zhang Daqian, which was still not bought, and the market price of this person's work is average now.

A huge painting hangs on the wall, the green mountains are thick ink, and a few brushstrokes outline the river fisherman, without any protective measures, and the price is clearly marked for sale.

Last time, it sold for 2,500 dollars, and now there is only 2,200 US dollars left, and it is estimated that it has not been able to sell, and the store has cut its own discount promotion.

It is strange that Zhang Daqian has lived in the United States for too long, and he is still a prolific painter who likes to create, and the number of works is so large that the white and black people can't appreciate it, and he is a little famous in the three places across the Taiwan Strait, and he can't sell for much more than that, and he is even inferior to some young Western oil painters who have just become famous.

On the way over, he was afraid that it would be bumped into something, so Chen Linzhi made a special trip to buy a bag of rolling paper, and used them to cushion the well-preserved camel, which was about 80 centimeters high, and he carefully moved it into the store and placed it in the center of the square table.

The guy said Tang Sancai in one mouth, turned his head and shouted: "Second uncle, here comes a big artifact!"

At first, Chen Linzhi thought that he said "people's utensils", or "Ming utensils", but he was wondering what to say, and he didn't understand the meaning until the Tang Dynasty people used this thing to accompany the burial.

"It's okay to rest assured that this thing has to be said to be disgusting? Anyway, I didn't dig it up with my own hands, I don't care where it was kept until now. Chen Linzhi said angrily.

The shopkeeper in a Tang costume heard this sentence when he came out, and slapped the back of the man's head casually, his voice was muffled, and he probably didn't use a lot of force.

He opened his mouth to blame himself and said:

"Are you a foreigner who doesn't know Chinese? In the future, you will be open-mouthed, and be careful of being torn apart."

This white camel doesn't need to be seen, it is very genuine, in the early years, it was sold to the old man Yu of the White Gang, when I was only in my early thirties, and it was sold for sixty dollars, it seems that the money at that time was worth more. ”

When the guy heard this, he immediately understood that Chen Linzhi was not small, otherwise how could he have something to do with the White Gang, and no longer blamed his second uncle for not taking it seriously, but felt that this slap should be beaten and saved himself.

"I just came out of Miss Yu's house, should it be a reward for me, the real thing of the Tang Dynasty?" Chen Linzhi was overjoyed, and he was feeling that his eyes were vicious.

The shopkeeper of Qi Bao Zhai helped him make tea, wiped his hands and observed the big camel closely, turned over and over, and said again: "White camel Tang Sancai is rare, yes, there are few artificial fake this thing, blue and white pastel five famous kiln bronzes, these can buy a price, fool the white and said himself." ”

Chen Linzhi was not calm, and asked in a low voice: "How much can I sell it for now?" Ask first, it may not really be sold. ”

“...... Some people like to use it as decoration, but it is an object in the soil, and it is not very good on the surface, and the white people will never accept it. If you really want to sell, I will take two thousand one, this color is a little more expensive, and I can only pay one thousand two or three if it is changed to yellow. ”

"What? The objects of the Tang Dynasty are not as good as that Zhang Daqian?!"

Chen Linzhi was shocked by the offer, it was so low that he was speechless, he thought that he had chosen a rare product, but it was so worthless.

"This Zhang Daqian's painting is a bit of a "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", his "Ten Thousand Miles of the Yangtze River" is still quite famous, my painting is stained with light, it is a fine product, you want me to only charge you 2,000 dollars. ”

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he confused Chen Linzhi.

He didn't understand whether it was a deliberate low price, or if it was really worth it, thinking that this thing was worth a lot if it was old enough.

After asking, I learned that the amount of the world is okay, there are too few people who like Tang Sancai, and they can't sell it for a price, so it's not as good as a small tea cup or the like, at least I am willing to buy it at a high price, who also loves tea.

Chen Linzhi knew that the market price was like this, relying on the tiger skin of the Yu family, the shopkeeper was honest enough.

He sighed deeply and said with emotion: "Damn, a cabinet of things, Miss Yu asked me to pick at will, why did I pick such a piece." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was surprised on the spot: "Just pick?" Old Man Yu could buy a lot of good things in his early years, including the Kangxi jade seal that circulated in the palace, as well as an ancient painting of the Song Dynasty, and a blue and white dragon jar in the early Ming Dynasty, why do you have to pick it?"

Damn, if you listen to it again, Chen Linzhi will want to cry without tears.

There are a lot of surviving in the world, and no one wants it yet, which means that the appreciation space is limited. And what the shopkeeper said sounded like a good thing that could go crazy in value.

This made Chen Linzhi make up his mind to visit Yu Luoqi's house more often in the future, and strive to come back with a few more tricks.

......

The price of old objects is generally not high.

When Chen Linzhi returned home and put the camel into the study, he was finally in the mood to seriously consider some things.

As long as you can make money, hoarding antiques in 1985 is extremely easy, and it is undoubtedly the most important thing to make money at the moment.

Listening to Yu Luoqi's meaning before, it seemed that she also wanted to try to develop on the other side, and there was no major problem in itself, but the signs revealed were extremely dangerous.

If there is a Yu Luoqi who is interested, there will inevitably be countless "Yu Luoqi" of all sizes who will come to seize the market with Chen Linzhi.

The threshold of the foreign trade procurement industry is really too low, so low that it can be done with a little principal and a little relationship.

Chen Linzhi has lowered the price, and his peers will undoubtedly follow the price reduction, and the turnover delivery in two or three months, the profit margin is worth the income of the treasury bonds for a whole year, which is already quite an attractive business.

This led Chen Linzhi to begin to doubt how long his company's advantage could be maintained.

If the rate of return decreases again as the competition grows, he is even considering whether he should jump out of the increasingly competitive circle, so as not to fight with others until the end of the day, but he will not make a few dollars and waste precious time.

People's reaction to the market is too fast, so fast that it disrupts Chen Linzhi's original plan, and it may not give him time to slowly accumulate strength.

His little family background is no longer worth mentioning in front of Yu Luoqi, and there are many old wealthy businessmen in Ben, Gangcheng and other places, and everyone knows that businesses that can make money often mean that they have become less profitable.

Silicon Valley, Wall Street, Hollywood, Las Vegas and other places flashed through Chen Linzhi's mind one by one, and he was thinking about what to do next.

Except for the news of the appreciation of the yen and the listing of Microsoft, he has no clue for the time being.

began to think about checking the future bigwigs, what businesses are being tossed now, and if you want to learn from them, you can copy your homework if you can, and you can take a ride if you can't copy it......
