Chapter 75: Don't Shoot Lightly
When they reached the end of this antique street, they finally found a shop with an unlocked door.
Xiao Yun was almost overjoyed, and immediately pushed the door and walked in.
There was only one middle-aged man in the shop, wearing glasses and a scruffy beard.
Xiao Yun noticed that the shop was not very large, and there were no conspicuous porcelain, calligraphy and paintings in the store.
I don't know if the store has just opened or if it's about to close. Anyway, it gives people a feeling that this store is very unreliable.
Xiao Yun was originally full of passion, but when he saw this scene, he immediately felt like he had been poured a basin of cold water.
He began to walk back, intending to try his luck when he came out tomorrow.
The joy of discovering the porcelain has almost been diluted.
Xiao Yun was also much sober at this time, he had to shop around and sell this batch of goods when he got the highest price.
Who knew that when Xiao Yun had already walked out of the door, the middle-aged man stopped him.
"Do you have something to sell, or do you want to buy something?"
Xiao Yun replied casually: "I want to sell something." ”
"Then I'll take a look at your stuff, and if the price is right, I can take it. ”
Xiao Yun glanced back at the middle-aged man again, he still looked like a hanger, as if he hadn't woken up.
"Forget it, I'll take a look at another store tomorrow. ”
Xiao Yun was embarrassed to express his first impression of this shop, but he felt that his tone should have given the shopkeeper enough psychological hints, and he was not at ease to let the shopkeeper come to taste his things.
The owner is really smart. He quickly brushed his hair and pulled a business card out of his crumpled shirt pocket.
"Don't think I'm sloppy and unreliable. I opened this shop as a side hustle, and I usually work as a small clerk at the Cultural Relics Bureau. Since I usually have to go to work, I am negligent in the management of this store. But I am quite knowledgeable about the goods, as long as your goods are real and good enough, we can negotiate the price. ”
Xiao Yun carefully studied the name written on the business card, which was called Wu Zhiguo. The profession is the same as what this person says. He worked in the Yueling Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau.
Xiao Yun's enthusiasm, which had been extinguished, suddenly rekindled.
He greeted Li Dazhuang and moved the box of things to Wu Zhiguo's small shop with him.
Wu Zhiguo also turned on all the lights and took out a magnifying glass at the same time.
Xiao Yun and Li Dazhuang sat in their chairs, watching Wu Zhiguo carefully take out the same thing and put it back back at the same time.
In this process, Wu Zhiguo's expression was quite serious, but he couldn't see any change in mood.
It wasn't until he picked up a plate with a very nice pattern on it that he was suddenly ecstatic.
But instead of telling Xiao Yun and Li Dazhuang what he had found, he carefully put the plate back in its place and took out a thick booklet from his counter.
He unfolded the booklet, flipped through a few pages, and placed it next to the box, comparing it with the plate he had just seen.
When Li Dazhuang saw his series of actions, his curiosity was deeply aroused, so he also came to Wu Zhiguo's side and looked at the pattern on the booklet with him.
It didn't matter if he looked at it, he found that the plate photo taken on it was basically not much different from the plate pattern held by Wu Zhiguo, it could be said to be exactly the same.
When Li Dazhuang looked down again, he found a string of numbers at the bottom of the picture, and he counted it, which was 7 digits.
Li Dazhuang suddenly felt a little weak and sat on the ground.
He began to take out his 10 fingers and count, and seven digits were millions.
In the nineties, millions were not astronomical for a small-fashioned peddler. Because in his mind, there is no concept of so much money at all.
Although they sometimes joke with each other, bragging, and saying that they must become billionaires in the future. But no one knows how much money billionaires have and how powerful their purchasing power is.
Li Dazhuang didn't believe that a plate that just looked a little beautiful could be worth millions.
Suddenly, his heart began to beat violently, faster and faster.
He really hoped to know from Wu Zhiguo's mouth that this plate was indeed genuine and could be sold for several millions. In this case, what kind of business do they have, just lie down and count the money.
Wu Zhiguo carefully studied the plate again for about 10 minutes, and then said to Xiao Yun: "It's a pity, although your plate is said to be vivid, it is almost fake. But it should be from the Qing Dynasty's folk kiln. In this case, the price will fall a hundredfold. ”
Li Dazhuang didn't wait for Xiao Yun to speak, so he hurriedly asked, "How much can it be sold for?"
"Based on my previous experience, I can sell it for tens of thousands. But if you keep this plate around, maybe it will increase in value in the future. After all, cultural relics are more and more popular the older you get, are you sure you want to make a move?"
Xiao Yun didn't answer him this question, but said to Wu Zhiguo: "You haven't read the other things yet, after you finish reading them, I'll think about it carefully." ”
Wu Zhiguo nodded, and placed the plate in a small box lined with velvet cloth.
Then he picked out a few more valuable things from it. According to his preliminary estimates, it should add up to be able to sell for hundreds of thousands.
Li Dazhuang was completely out of breath. He really didn't expect Xiao Yun to be an invisible rich man.
At first, he didn't understand why Xiao Yun was so happy when he saw these broken plates. But now that he understands the value of these plates, he feels like he's in a state of ecstasy.
Although Xiao Yun may not give him a part of the money, it still makes people feel excited to witness the birth of a miracle with his own eyes.
Xiao Yun didn't seem to be as excited as before at this time, but asked Wu Zhiguo very calmly if the rest of the things were valuable.
Wu Zhiguo pursed his lips: "In addition to these plates, like these plates, there are also bowls, which are basically things from the Republic of China." If you want to sell for money, you can sell it for a few dollars. But it's not as valuable as the few things I picked out. My personal opinion is that you keep them all in your collection and sit back and wait for them to appreciate. ”
Xiao Yun thanked Wu Zhiguo, and then put everything back in his small box as it was.
He said to Wu Zhiguo: "Then I'll come to you when I want to make a move." ”
Li Dazhuang was a little dazed: "Aren't you going to sell it? What a good opportunity this is." After selling these things, we can buy glass bottles as packaging instead of renting bottles, and then we can also set up factories to produce sea buckthorn juice in batches. Or we can skip this loop without making a sea buckthorn juice drink. Let's start our clothing business again. ”
"Now I have no intention of selling them. These things can be used as a retreat for us, and if we do need them, I'll do it. It's not early today, and we can't go home, so let's find a hotel to stay in. ”
