Chapter 42: The Dragon
The two sides were polite, and the surname Wang had a bottom in his heart: this young boss Zhang is the gold owner, and the expressionless and crazy eyes should be the bodyguard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He has seen this combination of Jiangnan, Fujian and Guangdong merchants, but the gold owner is generally older.
Plus the fishing policeman, you look for an appearance that makes people panic when they see it? Then the police leader must have been shot in the head!
"Boss Zhang, my friend's things are here with me, let's take a look at the goods?"
After the two sides probed to the bottom, the surnamed Wang finally relented.
"Medium!"
Zhang Nan replied with a smile, using a sentence in the dialect of Yu Province.
The host went to the store first and explained, probably not to let people in. When he returned, he closed the door and took out a small box from the back room.
As soon as it was opened, several cardboard packaging boxes with imitation brocade cloth surfaces were revealed: now the jade is packaged in Nanyang jade store, except for bracelets, many of them use this kind of box, and the two have seen each other in the afternoon.
took out a square flat box with a diameter of about 30 centimeters, put it on the table, and opened the lid of the box to reveal the true face of Lushan inside!
Take it out and place it on top of the flannel cloth on the table.
Zhang Nan's eyes shrank, took out a pair of white gloves from his clothes pocket and put them on, and took out his 50x magnifying glass.
Zhang Nan hasn't done this for a while.
None of the four people in the room spoke, the two surnamed Wang watched Zhang Nan's movements intently, and Guan Xingquan's mind was not on things, but on people.
Put down the things, put it away in the box surnamed Wang and put it aside.
"Boss Wang, what about the other one?"
The man didn't talk nonsense, took out a rectangular box about twenty centimeters in length, and placed it horizontally on the table.
After the surnamed Wang opened it and took out the things and put them on the flannel, Zhang Nan carefully picked them up and checked them carefully.
After a while, Zhang Nan put down his things and asked them to put them away.
"Boss Wang, is there anything else in the box?"
"Several dragon-shaped jade pendants, the same batch. ”
"Take it all out and take a look. ”
There are three boxes again, one of which is a single dragon-shaped jade pendant, a typical Warring States jade pendant.
It is about 11 centimeters long, less than 5 centimeters wide, and up to 2 millimeters thick!
Zhang Nan determined that it was Hetian topaz texture, most of which were yellow-green, and the soil erosion area was grayish-yellow.
The bite is a bit hard!(Biting: The jade is buried underground, eroded by other substances, soaked in the jade, and appears "Qin".) )
Tiger head, pointed ears, curly hair behind the ears. Oval order, wide nose and large mouth, lower lip hook, arched dorsal back.
The dragon's abdomen is rounded, the tail is folded forward, the front and back are one leg, the feet have elbow hair, and the back and face have a series of holes.
The shallow carving of yang pattern and yin line, the edge is mainly decorated with a silk tow pattern or twisted silk pattern, the upper body is decorated with tiger skin markings, stripes, and segment patterns, and the head and abdomen are decorated with silkworm patterns like cloud patterns.
The overall shape is peculiar and the ornamentation is gorgeous.
This single dragon jade pendant, even if it bites hard, relying on this shape alone, it is at least a second-level cultural relic!
The other two are Yunlong-shaped jade pendants, which are exactly the same pair, both made of white Hetian jade.
The whole body of the jade pendant is flat, hollow and open-carved, there is a silhouette, and the dragon body is circling and swimming.
The dragon looked back and raised his head, his eyes small and expressive, and his mouth slightly open as if he was groaning.
The body is stout, the body of the dragon is bowed up, in an "S" shape, and forms a number of small "S" shaped multiple combinations with the dragon's feet or spine fins. The whole body is carved with valley patterns, like pearls dancing with the dragon, as if two little yellow dragons are churning and frolicking in the clouds.
The double dragons are opposite, long hissing and dancing, vivid, which can be regarded as the best product in the jade pendant of the Warring States Period!
Everything was put away in the box, but it wasn't put back in the box.
Zhang Nan took off his gloves and stuffed them in his pockets with a magnifying glass.
"Boss Wang, let's make a price. ”
Let's get down to business.
"Let's go?" surnamed Wang's face was happy, this is really a big customer.
These things have been in his hands for a while, and local customers have seen them several times, and they all understand that they are good things, but no one can eat them!
Zhang Nan nodded.
"Eight thousand!"
"5,000!" Zhang Nan counteroffered.
Why don't you make a counteroffer? This surnamed Zhao's offer is quite realistic.
"Boss Zhang, I will say a reserve price, we will succeed, if we can't do it, we can only buy and sell and not be friendly. ”
When Zhang Nan heard this, he stretched out his hand and motioned for you.
"6 thousand. ”
Zhang Nan turned his head and said to Guan Xingquan: "Pay." ”
The big antique trade is often a matter of you going back and forth and bargaining for a round or two, which is easier than buying a piece of clothing on the stall.
It's a small object, because both sides have thin profits, and buyers generally have "little money", so they will have a big war of 300 rounds like a vegetable market aunt.
The whole 6 knives of "great unity" made the surnamed Zhao dazzled. The deal was reached, and the man surnamed Wang also gave a new canvas bag to the two of them, which was used to hold four boxes.
Zhang Nan and the two put away their things and left, and the one surnamed Zhao wanted to give it away, but they were stopped by the shopkeeper surnamed Wang.
Watching the two leave, the shopkeeper said, "Ten percent, you are indispensable." ”
Saying that he gave some money to the other party, this is the general introduction fee in the antique trading industry in proportion.
"People buy it and leave, and don't even say a word about the next contact, people in the industry. If you can't do it, people won't tell you. The shopkeeper surnamed Wang said while collecting the money, "If they come to us next time, they will naturally come to us to ask for goods." ”
"Also, Xiao Zhao, the customer you introduced this time is good, but you have to pay attention to this outsider next time. Also, this time it's over. ”
The surname Wang reminded him.
"I understand Brother Wang, our mouth is notoriously strict!"
……
As soon as Zhang Nan and the two went out, they made a detour and turned two corners before returning to the way to the hotel.
"No one is staring at the back. Guan Xingquan is sure.
"Hmm. ”
As soon as the two returned to the hotel room, Zhang Nan took out the things in his bag.
The canvas bag was gone, and the two of them lost it halfway through.
The four cardboard boxes were opened, and Guan Xingquan, the spy, took them all open and looked at them.
"It's not intelligence, so you don't have to be so careful. ”
Zhang Nan didn't care, this Nanyang plays antiques, and he has heard of it in the more than 20 years since the transaction was completed, and there is no such thing as putting tracking equipment.
Besides, in the 80s, there is no computer city yet, let alone selling room-espionage-supplies in private.
"Could it be that this Brother Guan has used such a tall play?"
I thought about it in my heart and didn't say it.
Guan Xingquan checked everything, poured two glasses of water, and handed Zhang Nan a glass.
"Those two things on the stall are good things, I guess these are national treasures, right?"
Zhang Nan took a sip of water, heard Guan Xingquan say this, put the quilt to the side, and said, "See?"
"It's been so many times, and you still can't control your expression, seeing this piece of jade, your eyes and brows have shrunk, and your muscles have tensed. How many things are still so expensive, what are they that aren't national treasures?"
"Looks like we still have to practice. ”
Zhang Nan shook his head and said with a wry smile.
