"Hmm. Lao Zhou nodded, "This price is only low, because there is no complete set." ”

Antiques are not the same as mass-produced cultural products.

If you buy a bead for 100 yuan, and you buy 18 pieces of the same product and want to wear them in a string, the average price will be cheaper than buying a single one, because it is easier to make up for mass-produced things, and it is easier to profit from buying more than buying a single business.

However, antiques, complete sets of things are often more expensive than a single piece, because it is not mass-produced, and this set has gone through the years and is not easy to preserve. For example, pairs of large pieces of furniture are often worth four times as much as a single piece.

"Hey, why is there one more sunspot than white?" Pu Jie then asked.

Yu Yao couldn't help but look at Pu Jie, Pu Jie pouted, "Don't look at me, I don't know how to play Go." ”

At this time, Lao Zhou smiled and explained, "Because the sunspot symbolizes yang, the white symbol symbolizes yin, yang is the sky, yin is the earth, yang is an odd number, and yin is an even number, so there is one more." The three hundred and sixty-one points on the chessboard also imply that one is Tian Yuan, and three hundred and six simulates Zhou Tian. ”

Yu Yao nodded, "It's right to listen to Teacher Zhou." ”

The three of them quickly returned to the hotel, each took their own small suitcases, and dragged them directly to the hotel door to take a taxi to the train station.

Arrived in Zhongzhou smoothly and stayed at the hotel you booked.

The shop of the female stall owner's brother-in-law is called Brother Hao's pawn consignment firm, and his brother-in-law's name is Wei Hao, and many customers like to call him Brother Hao.

Brother Hao pawn consignment firm is located in Xinzhong District, Zhongzhou, Xinzhong District was originally called Xinzhong County, a district that was changed a few years ago, so the location is actually relatively partial.

The business house is located in front of a residential area, an independent three-storey building, and the façade is made of antique colors.

When the three of them entered the gate, they heard the sound of taping and tying tape, which was packing the parcel.

Here is the collection of pawns and consignment goods from all over the country, and the sale of goods, Brother Hao also has a set, the boss is to distribute goods to merchants all over the country and ship through the online platform.

In this way, the price of the goods is generally not high, or even far lower than the market price, because the owners of pawns and consignments are in a hurry to use the money, and there are physical stores that cannot be opened to clear the goods, Brother Hao will fiercely lower the price.

This also requires eye support. However, among the goods, there are very few antiques, most of them are jewelry and jade, because jewelry and jade mainly depend on the texture, which is relatively easy to identify and easier to maintain its value.

Brother Hao happened to be in the store at this time, and after meeting, they chatted briefly.

Yu Yao saw that this brother Hao was about thirty years old, several years younger than the female stall owner, but he became her brother-in-law, but the brother-in-law was not an elder brother, and it was possible that he was too old or too young.

Brother Hao has a baby face, but his facial features are still very good-looking, a bit like Jia Baoyu in the old version of the Dream of Red Mansions TV series, but he speaks more boldly, and his gestures look quite atmospheric.

Hearing that Lao Zhou focused on jade pieces, Brother Hao took them directly to a large room on the third floor, with a sofa and coffee table on one side of the door, a calligraphy and painting table in the center, and tall shelves around it. However, it is not a piece of things on the shelves, but boxes of things.

One by one, the plastic boxes are full of plastic bags, stacked with all kinds of jade pieces, mainly Hetian jade and jadeite.

"Pick anywhere, there are price tags on it, a fixed price. If I buy more, I can get a little discount on the total price, but I don't take the big knife!" Brother Hao smiled.

"Okay, you're welcome. Lao Zhou nodded.

Brother Hao sat down on the sofa instead, lit a cigarette, and slapped the coffee table, "If you can't make up your mind, you can put it here first, and then we can talk while drinking tea." ”

The three of them looked separately. To be honest, it is actually inconvenient to look at the goods in this way, and you have to pull it in a plastic box, and you have to open the sealed bag to take a closer look.

But Lao Zhou's eyes lit up after only looking at it for a moment, because the price was indeed low enough. For example, jade pieces worth about 10,000 yuan are generally priced at four or five thousand yuan, and for high-priced goods worth more than 100,000 yuan, the price here is often not more than 40,000 yuan.

Lao Zhou is not very familiar with this kind of business.

In fact, Brother Hao has changed the traditional marketing model of cultural toys and jewelry, jade and high profits, taking the road of small profits and quick turnover, and the prices of the things collected are ruthless, and then only a few hundred yuan of profits are added to each piece. And shopping malls and shops selling jewelry and jade, it is normal to earn you 200% of the profit.

And the huge amount that can be taken depends on the network distribution model, online auction, and online sales that have been explored. The important function of a brick-and-mortar store has become a "warehouse" and a point for couriers. Of course, the business of door-to-door customers is the same, but the proportion is not large.

Yu Yao felt bored for a while, because they were all modern jade handicrafts, so he simply walked over and sat on the sofa, and lit a cigarette:

"Brother Hao, you don't collect a lot of antique things, do you?"

"Yes, antiques are not easy to identify, and they are generally not accepted. When I encounter something that I think is good, the price is also lowered to the lowest, and many people don't want to sell it. In addition, antiques are not easy to sell through online platforms, and the risk of returning and exchanging goods back and forth is not small. After Brother Hao finished speaking, he turned to ask, "Boss Yu is in the antique business?"

"That's it. Yu Yao replied vaguely.

Brother Hao tilted his head and knocked on his temples, "By the way, I really received a consignment yesterday, look at the old man! I haven't filled in the warehouse yet, do you want to take a look?"

"What's that?"

"It's an incense burner. ”

"What material?"

"Porcelain, but the glaze is uneven, and it drips badly. ”

Yu Yao was stunned, "What do you mean by dripping so much?"

"It's the state that flows down. ”

"Oh, what glaze?"

"It's like sky blue, mixed with a little moon-white veins. ”

Yu Yao became interested, "Okay, then let's take a look!"

Brother Hao nodded and took out his mobile phone, "Hey, you brought the incense burner you just received yesterday······ Yes, in a boxwood box······"

Brother Hao hung up the phone, and Yu Yao then asked, "Brother Hao, you said that it was consigned by the customer, how did you do it?"

"Oh, there are two ways, one is consignment, we negotiate the price, and the more I sell, is the profit, and every time the profit exceeds 50 percent, he can raise another 10 percent. There is also a kind of simplicity, which is that I buy out directly. He was only willing to sell this incense burner on consignment, and if he couldn't sell it at the reserve price he asked, he wouldn't pay it. ”

Yu Yao smiled, "He still attaches great importance to it, but Jun kiln has officials and people, and the time span of the kiln is very large, and there are many high imitations, this ······"

A hint of surprise flashed in Brother Hao's eyes, "Boss Yu is an expert!"

After a while, a female clerk came over with a boxwood box. The wood is good, and the carving is beautiful, but this box is new.

Brother Hao took out the incense burner from the wooden box and placed it on the coffee table.

Yu Yao took a look, this incense burner is not big, the glaze is indeed as Brother Hao said, quite special, and in the middle of the lower part of the mouth on one side, there is a square area, engraved with two lines of words:

Gengxu Mid-Autumn Festival Xiao Song self-made incense burner two moments.
