"Is such a good knife or an antique worth more than 3,000 yuan?" Zhao Qiwu asked with an unhappy face in a store in the antique market. "I have a jewel here. ”

"Look at your gem. The uncle who gave him the knife was not impatient and patiently explained to him. "Do you usually use this knife? Do you usually wipe it often? Or do you just pick it up and use whatever you want? This thing needs to be maintained, and the way you wipe it is not right, and the more you wipe it, the more it will depreciate...... You've wiped all the gems out of the way!"

Zhao Qiwu's face darkened, isn't it, this knife was hung on Tudeng's waist at the time, and it is estimated that he usually uses it less. The knife is not afraid to use, but it is usually hung on the body, and the scabbard must be rubbed everywhere, and when eating meat, rub the oil, and it is inevitable to rub a little ash.

He could imagine that Tuden must have cherished this Tibetan knife very much, so he took it off when he had nothing to do, found a rag or a leather or something, and wiped it carefully and carefully—at last the knife became less and less valuable.

Anyway, before he brought it just now, he found a rag and wiped it vigorously with water before bringing it, and it is estimated that wiping this time can successfully depreciate the value of the knife by another hundred and eighty yuan.

"Well, can this be fixed?" Zhao Qiwu asked reluctantly.

"Absolutely. "Uncle Appraisal is smiling. "But that's going to have to be paid. You didn't come to sell knives with the intention of selling knives, did you, just let me give them a free appraisal?"

"Who said that you made a low offer. Zhao Qiwu did not admit it.

In the afternoon, this guy looked at another house, which was the one whose family was sick and wanted to sell the house.

After reading it, I didn't talk much about the price, and after directly confirming the purchase, I threw the matter to Sister-in-law Feng. Then I wandered around to the antique market, came up with a crooked idea, pretended to sell knives, and asked people to give me a free appraisal of how much the knife was worth.

In fact, this is the third antique shop he found, and the first two only opened him a price of one or two thousand.

The price of this house is high, but he will definitely not admit it if he is exposed - anyway, if I don't sell it, your price is low.

Uncle Appraisal smiled: "Then what do you think is the right price, can you sell it for 8,000?"

"It's only 8,000? I think it's worth 180,000. Zhao Qiwu didn't talk about repairing anymore, reached out and picked up the knife, pulled the gold and turned around and left. "I'd better take it home and keep it, maybe it'll be worth it later." ”

"Don't go!" the antique shop was not busy, and the uncle was idle and called him. "Come on, let's not talk about whether you sell or not, I'll tell you about maintenance knowledge, and let me play with your knife for a while." ”

"You won't buy and sell for a while, will you?" Zhao Qiwu asked rhetorically.

"I also opened a shop here, so as for your knife, did you ruin your reputation?" the uncle laughed angrily. "Do you listen or not? If you don't listen, you can leave, I see who else is as idle as me. ”

"That's okay!" Zhao Qiwu turned back again. "Here you go, say it!"

"Actually, there is no way to lower the price, you see that it is an object from the pre-Qing Dynasty, but the things over there in Xisa, we can't figure out the history. Looking at its scabbard and hilt, you can see that this must have been used by the nobles before, and the poor must not have been able to afford it. But do you know which nobleman it is? I don't know. ”

Zhao Qiwu interrupted him: "Then I'll go back and ask what the ancestor of the former owner of this knife did, then won't you know?"

"Then you have to have evidence, it's not just a matter of saying it and others will admit it. What did his former master do? If he was a celebrity, he would be fine, but if he was an ordinary person, he wouldn't be believed by others. If you can prove which celebrity used it, the price will be much higher. Uncle Appraisal said.

Zhao Qiwu was bored at that time, Tudeng now lives in a poor ravine, and he is not a famous person in the village, let alone anything else.

As soon as he saw him like this, the appraisal uncle understood: "There is another way, you hype it up." However, the things of the former Qing Dynasty are not worth it, if they are older, you can just make a splash for it, and you can also raise the price. ”

"This thing still depends on the heat, look at your dog, it's worth a lot of money if someone is fried now. There are still few people collecting Sisa knives, so they are not worth much. You play it on your own, and maybe after a while someone hypes it up, and its price goes up. ”

Zhao Qiwu was too lazy to toss: "I'll just take it as a toy, it's better than ordinary kitchen knives, isn't it?"

"That's okay, anyway, you're not short of this money, if you want to play for a long time, just pay attention to maintenance. Uncle Appraisal talked about maintenance knowledge.

Zhao Qiwu felt troublesome when he heard half of it, not to mention how to maintain the knife, just a scabbard is troublesome enough, the gems on the scabbard should be treated differently from the scabbard, and the handle that he often holds is another kind of maintenance......

After a while he got tired of listening.

The reason why he has endured it is because the uncle is telling him and giving demonstrations, and his knife has changed as he demonstrates.

When he came, he thought he had wiped it well, but it could only be called clean. Now that people are tossing like this, not only does the whole have a luster, but it also looks like it has a hint of quaint atmosphere.

People worked hard for him for a long time, and he didn't say that he asked for money, so he was embarrassed to leave immediately, and waited until a customer came to see something, and then he took the opportunity to stand up: "That, uncle, thank you, I'll go back first, and I'll bring it to you next time you want to see it." ”

Uncle hehe: "You kid hasn't even left a name for a long time, I want to see who to find? Go ahead, go ahead, there will be old objects in the future, who will let me love this thing!"

After talking about it, Zhao Qiwu felt that it was very right, he wanted to think about it in the long run, so he quickly asked for a business card, and left his name and phone number for others.

Before leaving, the uncle reminded him again: "If you want to play with this knife on a regular basis, it's best to go over there to get a certificate, and a few hundred yuan is not expensive." Otherwise, you can be regarded as a controlled knife, and it is illegal to run around. ”

"Is it okay to have a certificate?" Zhao Qiwu asked.

"With a certificate, if you are asked and you say that you take it for people to appreciate, then it is not illegal. ”

"Then thank you, uncle, I'll do it. ”

......

More than an hour later, Zhao Qiwu took the appraisal certificate of 650 yuan in his hand, and was extremely dissatisfied with the appraisal center behind him.

Originally, it was not so expensive, but the appraisal took time, and people said that it would take a week, so he was in a hurry, and he paid an extra 300 yuan for the expedited fee.

But I finally have a certificate, just like the uncle said, in the future, I will be justified in playing with it, and I am not afraid of being asked.

It's done, but I can't go home yet.

Considering that his parents may not be able to dissipate his anger for a while, Zhao Qiwu felt that the air in the capital was so fresh, and he should stay for a while.

Then go buy a computer!

According to the business card given by Chi Qingfeng, he found his company's store, and began to look at the computer and ask the price one by one.

At this time, most of them are brand machines, and the assembly machines are not popular, and they are all brand goods.

Zhao Qiwu doesn't understand what to configure.,4.3G hard disk,16M memory He doesn't know.,Anyway, I know it's quite big.,When you ask the price, it's 20,000 smaller.,It's very expensive.。

Zhao Qiwu took out his mobile phone and flipped to Chi Qingfeng's phone number: "I know your boss, you give me a real price, if you don't believe me, it's okay for me to call him." ”

The store manager was very talkative, didn't let him call, immediately lowered 3,000 yuan, and promised to send a few more games.

Zhao Qiwu didn't care about any games, he was a little slumped in his heart, it was really dark, how much money did they have to make with a computer?

Well, Chi Qingfeng said that he wanted a dog, so he went back and got him a dog and earned the money back from the computer.

Then I asked how to access the Internet, only to know that I had to have a landline phone first, and then dial up to access the Internet.

Zhao Qiwu immediately dispelled the idea of taking the computer back to the rental house in Sanhe Town, and it was not bad to put it in the capital, but he flew over if he wanted to go online.

Not why, because Tri-Rivers is now struggling to install a phone.

Liu Qingying had already said that her house was going to install a telephone, and she also said that the family was looking for acquaintances to find a relationship, but it turned out that the telephone was available until now, but unfortunately there was only a telephone, and there was no shadow of the matter of pulling the line.

The telephone is an antique again, and I don't know what can make a call!

He wants to take the computer back, and it is estimated that he will not be able to talk to the phone before the start of the second grade, and it will be good to be able to connect to the Internet before graduating from high school.

Then he went to college, and he still has a woolen net in the town of Three Rivers!

He can only put it in the capital, but he has a house with a telephone, but he doesn't plan to put the computer there.

Because it was a residential area, and the houses were close, he flew over in the middle of the night, and if the neighbors were enthusiastic, they might think they were thieves.

Then there is no other choice, it is the most suitable to put the big house in Houhai, and I am not afraid that a neighbor will hear his movement to surf the Internet in the middle of the night.

It's a pity that I had to reinstall a phone.

Look at the time, now that everyone in the department in charge of the phone is getting off work, Zhao Qiwu is not in a hurry, just here, relying on his own acquaintance with the boss, and relying on the computer store to let people teach him basic computer operations.

The manager of the store was quite happy because he had taught him that there would be a lot less trouble in the future.

Nowadays, many people buy a computer, and they call at some time, saying that they want to put the computer in a different position, and then the monitor and the host computer cannot be connected, or the mouse and keyboard cannot be connected, and the store sends someone to run most of the city, which takes half a day, and does three or five seconds of work, which is depressing to think about.

It's all the characteristics of the times!
