Chapter Forty-Nine: Upstairs

First, Jin Qiang's grandfather is not there, and the process of repairing other people's watches is at most a craft, and it can't reach the level of buying and buying and appreciating watch maintenance as an art.

Second, the eldest lady of the buyer before the accident at home has always only had the need to repair clocks and watches, and there is no need to sell clocks and watches.

It's not bad to buy a boss, even if you buy a watch that you don't like after you buy it, at most it's a corner position, and it's impossible to make your watch second-hand.

With this year-old friendship with Jin Qiang's grandfather, every time I went to Qiangda's studio before, even if I didn't sell watches, repair watches, or do any business, I would be treated as a guest.

After three years, Maimaimai came to the J&D studio, which no longer has the soul of a craftsman, focusing on the second-hand watch business, hoping to sell the mask watch brought back from the United States as soon as possible.

This is the main business of Q&D Studio today, and the clerk in charge of reception on the first floor looked at the packaging of the watch that Maimaimai took and refused.

The reason for refusal made Maimaimai a little dumbfounded.

What to say, the boss set the rule that you can't take a watch that doesn't have a full set of bills and the original packaging to be consigned in the store.

If the formalities are not complete, it is not possible to confirm whether it was obtained through a formal channel.

If something happens to such a watch, the studio will not only be held responsible, but will also lose its reputation.

The clerk said with regret: "Our studio has a rule, the source is unknown, the watch without a full set of bills and the original packaging of the watch can not be accepted, if you really want to consign, you must first publish a description in the newspaper and trade magazine, a month later, confirm that there is no problem, you can consign." ”

"This set of watches was bought at an auction in the United States, how can it be from an unknown source?"

If this clerk who has not met before only says that he can't help with consignment without an invoice, it is acceptable to buy and buy, at most find a way to find Grandpa Jin Qiang and let him be accommodating.

But the clerk added with an extremely good attitude: "Without a bill, you can't be sure whether it is a fake or not, and you have to let the boss open it and check it to be sure." These processes take time, and the payment can be made after a month at the earliest. ”

The implication of the clerk's words is that it will take a month to confirm that the master series that I bought and bought and sold was not stolen, not robbed, or fake.

The non-genetic inheritors of Q&D Studio can be regarded as the "pro-grandfather" of Maimaimai, how can they not trust Maimaimai's character?

"The boss you said is the non-genetic inheritor of your studio, right?"

The clerk replied, "Yes, you also know that the owner of our studio is an inheritor of intangible cultural heritage." Our boss is more authoritative, this is his regulation, your bills are not complete, I just want to do your business now, and there is no way to operate."

Vacheron Constantin has produced a total of three Master of Mask collections.

In 2007, 2008 and 2009, a series was released each year.

Each of the three collections features four different mask styles, representing the cultures of Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Oceania.

Each model is limited to 25 pieces worldwide, and each one is highly collectible.

Bought and auctioned are all four artist mask series launched in 2008, and it is also the only master series with a "Maitreya Buddha" mask.

These four watches, as soon as they were brought back to China, were brought to the studio to show Jin Qiang's grandfather.

The old man said at the time that on the mask watch that Vacheron Constantin released in 08 to represent Asian culture, the carved Amitabha Nyorai is one of the five wise Buddhas, responsible for leading the believers after the end of their lives to another world, meaning "immeasurable light" and "immeasurable longevity".

With this Amitabha Nyorai watch, although it is the second Vacheron Constantin first mask master series to appear at the Geneva Watch Show in Switzerland in 08, it is more valuable than the first series in 2007 in the domestic collection market.

When I bought Lego in the most "shocking" way to save the little girls, I didn't think those paper bills were meaningful at all.

Even if there were, it must have been soaked in water.

It's true that there is no full set of bills and auction documents now, but these bills were shown to the old man as early as 2014.

If, for the sake of missing notes and documents, the value of this limited edition watch would have an impact, it is understandable to buy it.

However, it is absolutely impossible to say that because there are no supporting documents, the intangible cultural heritage inheritor of Q&D Studio suspects that the source of the watch is unknown, and it needs to be reported for a month to confirm the ownership issue.

In addition to buying and buying himself, there is no one who knows the origin of this set of tables better than Grandpa Jin Qiang.

Where does it take as long as a month to confirm these things that have been set in stone for a long time?

Grandpa Jin Qiang put down the watch repair tools he had taken all his life because he was old and his eyes were not suitable for continuing to do fine watch maintenance work for a long time.

In addition, the old man was in good spirits and in good health, and he was far from being so confused that he completely forgot the full set of documents that Mai Mai Mai had shown him a long time ago.

To suspect her of selling fake watches is to suspect her character.

If this kind of thing had been put on hold, no matter how good the attitude of the clerk was, the buying boss would have gone crazy a long time ago.

Today is different from the past, I haven't come here for too long, the studio sales have changed several batches, and the old man is not in China.

If she wants to blame, she can only blame herself, without understanding the consignment process of Q&D Studio, she promised that the "leading brother" would make up the final compensation within two weeks.

It's really a bit of a rush to buy, buy, buy.

Listening to the meaning of the clerk, there is no supporting document, and the situation may not be much worse if it is sent to other high-grade second-hand watch stores for sale.

"Otherwise, you give me your boss's phone number in Switzerland, you haven't seen me, I used to know him quite well, and every time I came, I went straight to him. I have shown him all the bills you wanted, and I will discuss them with him myself. "I don't believe that the old man knows that she wants to sell this series of watches, and she has to insist on going through such a complicated procedure.

"Do you have a relationship with our boss, the kind that you can go up to him anytime and anywhere?" The clerk was very happy: "Then what else do you call from Switzerland, our boss came back from Switzerland last year, and now he is repairing antique clocks upstairs." ”

As a salesman, if this order is completed, she will also have a commission.

The clerk stepped out of the way: "You go directly to him from here, if the boss says yes, wait until you negotiate the price, I will immediately ask the finance to transfer money to you." ”

Vacheron Constantin is not a value-preserving watch, but if the watch that you buy and buy and consign, it is really a limited collector's edition that was auctioned back from an auction in New York, and now it is sold to the studio urgently, and then you can slowly find a suitable buyer, then this business, one in and one out, the commission is definitely quite considerable.

The clerk knows that the boss doesn't want to be disturbed when she works, and she can't break the rules set by the boss, but if the boss is willing to do special things, she naturally doesn't mind earning an extra commission.
