Chapter 191: Uneasy
"What ......" Wang Di bowed his body with interest, wanting to see what was on the table in front of him, but he couldn't really see it, so he asked Zheng Zheng on the side.
Zheng Zheng took a look at it and knew it in his heart. All the things in tonight's auction were picked out by him, and he knew it in his heart: "This is a white jade handle in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and it is not a particularly rare thing, but the jade quality is quite good, and this system is a system that can only be used by the princes of the Qing Dynasty. The reserve price is about 100,200,000, which can be regarded as an appetizer. ”
"Handles, I don't have any interest......" As soon as he heard that it was a handle, Wang Di suddenly lacked interest, he didn't have much interest in this kind of thing, although the price of this thing was not high, but he was not interested in bidding.
Zheng Zheng smiled, and seeing that no one was paying attention to the two, he lowered his voice and said to Wang Di: "It's okay if you don't bid now, and you will naturally have a place to use later." There are a few good things to do tonight that are worth your hands on. ”
"Okay. Hearing Zheng Zheng say this, Wang Di suddenly became interested again.
In front of the table, Bai Peng had already told the origin and age of this handle. None of these buyers here are laymen, so what Bai Peng said is true, and there is nothing to add fuel to the vinegar. However, everyone knows that the first few items are appetizers, so they don't particularly care. However, there are also a few buyers who expressed considerable interest in this handle, and after some bidding, the jade pendant with a reserve price of 150,000 yuan was sold at a price of 200,000 yuan.
After the handle was sold, it was not delivered to the buyer, but was put into the bag by Bai Peng again. In the general black market, there are basically cash transactions, and payment methods such as credit checks are not feasible at all, but if there is enough power to launder money transfers, such as the black market in the black dollar market, you can use checks to pay.
However, that kind of process is not only cumbersome, but also requires a good relationship with the bank, which is really cumbersome. Zheng Zheng and Bai Peng discussed, okay, let's wait for the black market to end and let the buyers trade in cash.
Bai Peng, the buyer of these auctioned things, will write it down, and wait for the black market to end before settling in cash, which is safe and secure.
The object as an appetizer is sold at a price of 250,000 yuan, which is not common in the black market, you must know that the basic price of things used as appetizers in the general black market is generally only 350,000 yuan, and the transaction price is only 100,000 yuan at most. However, everyone can also see that the price of this handle is 150,000, and it is reasonable to sell it at a price of 200,000, so there is a greater sense of expectation about what Bai Peng will come up with next.
In the antique shop, you are not afraid of expensive things, but you are afraid that you will not be able to get good things.
Taking advantage of the fact that Bai Peng hadn't taken out anything yet, Wang Di rushed to Zheng Zheng and looked at Zheng Zheng's straight hair. Sure enough, Wang Di threw out a question that gave Zheng Zheng a headache: "That Song Tang ...... Hehe, tell me, what's going on with the two of you?"
"Good guy, why are you so gossipy......" Zheng Zheng pursed his lips and looked at Wang Di with a frown.
Wang Di raised his eyebrows, and said righteously: "I'm not gossiping, I'm a novice who cares about you, who has just had a little emotional experience." It is true that stepping on two boats or opening a harem is the dream of many men, but the reason why this is the dream of many men is because it is difficult to achieve. I advise you, it's better to figure out this kind of thing as soon as possible, otherwise you, a novice, won't be able to take care of it at all, and you will cry when something goes wrong. ”
Zheng Zheng rubbed his face vigorously, shook his head and said, "It's not that I want to step on two boats, it's that the boat has to stop at my feet......"
Wang Di was even more interested: "Upside down??"
Zheng Zheng waved his hand helplessly and said: "Don't guess, it would be good if it was really upside down, the matter here is troublesome, and I can't tell you clearly for a while, you just need to know that there is nothing between the two of us." ”
When they went out to buy clothes that day, Zheng Zheng and Song Tang talked about this issue, but Song Tang left down the sentence "I want to take you back", which made Zheng Zheng frightened.
After repeated questioning, Song Tang said that Song Tang wanted to use him as a shield, at least it had to delay time, as long as she returned to the Wang Group for a period of time, Song Tang would have the certainty of turning the situation around. As for what she was going to do, Song Tang didn't reveal it at all, only said that Zheng Zheng would naturally know when the time came. However, Zheng Zheng pondered that this kind of thing that has to do with the struggle for power must be difficult to be good, and he was dragged into this matter by Song Tang, so he should try to prepare for the worst......
was already upset enough, but now that Wang Di has mentioned this matter again, Zheng Zheng naturally has no patience to talk to him about this matter.
Wang Di saw Zheng Zheng's unhappy face, and he also figured out that this matter was not as pleasant as he thought, so he didn't say anything more after laughing twice.
At this time, Bai Peng took out another object from his bag and put it on the table.
It was a small object, white all over, covered with dark blue-gray flowers. It looks like a small bowl, but it's much lower, up to three fingers, and there are two small half-moon ears on either side.
Bai Peng took this thing in his hand and showed it, Wang Di was stunned and didn't see what it was, but looking at a few buyers in the front row, he subconsciously stood up, as if he had found something amazing, he was curious again, and asked Zheng Zheng: "What kind of thing is this?
Zheng Zheng explained to him in a low voice: "The scientific name of this thing is '觞', to put it bluntly, this is a wine glass. It's just that the popular era of this thing is from the Han Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty, and there were also in the early Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty is the last era of large-scale application of 'Zhen', and there has been no large-scale application later, and even if there is, it is also an antique work of later generations. ”
Wang Diqi said: "Then you mean, this is at least something from the Tang Dynasty or the Jin Dynasty?"
"Where can I be, the second thing that will be taken out will be something particularly good. This thing is an antique work of the Song Dynasty, it should be fired by a certain Song Dynasty literary and artistic youth when imitating the ancient Wenqing, in terms of production technology, it is not very good, but the value of this thing is not low at the level of antiques, after all, the entire Song Dynasty except for some literary and artistic young people who imitate the ancient Wenqing for a while to make a cup out, there is basically no cup. ”
Wang Di blinked and said with a strange smile: "Then you have made up your mind to use this thing to fool the layman, right? The Song Dynasty said that it was the Jin Dynasty, hehe, there is a lot of money here......
Zheng Zheng looked at Wang Di with a disgusted face and said, "Don't use your narrow thinking to speculate on our professional ethics......, okay? Besides, there are not many laymen sitting here, and even if they don't make a living from antiques, they are old collectors who have been in the antique shop for many years, trying to fool them? ”
Wang Di still smiled strangely: "To put it bluntly, it's because you can't fool it, so you don't fool it?"
“…… With your lower limit of discipline, it's hard for me to explain it to you. ”
In fact, as Zheng Zheng said, Bai Peng explained the age of this thing very clearly, and did not mean to pit these buyers. After some bidding, the ear buds were finally sold for 500,000 yuan.
The buyer has a good face, and is very satisfied with the purchase of this pair of ears - if you look at it from the perspective of an antique dealer, it is not a wise move to buy a Song Dynasty ear bud for 500,000 yuan, and it is not a loss to buy it back at this price, but it is not wise to sell it to make a lot of money, and it is very unwise to account for 500,000 yuan in cash. However, from the perspective of collectors, they are not short of the 500,000 yuan, and they do not plan to sell it for a profit after buying it, so it is still worth it for a collector.
That's the difference between a collector and an antique dealer. As an antique dealer, Zheng Zheng defines the price by the easiest price in the market, which refers to the price at which other antique dealers buy and then sell it for a profit through other methods.
In other words, Zheng Zheng's pricing leaves a certain profit margin for others, which is not large, but it is just enough to make other antique dealers interested in buying and then reselling. Although this method will make less money, it can realize the fastest time, which is the most important thing.
And now the buyers who participate in this black market are many of them in the antique business, but there are also a large number of collectors. In this case, Zheng Zheng's original slightly lower price will cause these people to chase after him, and then sell a high price that Zheng Zheng didn't have much hope for before.
If it weren't for his targeted selection of collectors and antique dealers with the right proportion to come to the black market, the prices of the things sold on the black market today would not be much higher than the price made by Zheng Zheng.
The contents of the bag were taken out one by one, and one by one the buyers were bought. At the beginning, they took out about 100,200,000 yuan and increased the price of things by 35,000 yuan, and when they later took out 780,000 yuan, these buyers asked for about 100,200,000 yuan each time, and in just a few minutes, the price of an antique doubled up.
There is a way that is a sake celebrity, and the wealth is moving, seeing that this business is so hot, it is normal for Zheng Zheng to be excited. But as time went by, as one antique after another was auctioned, Zheng Zheng not only did not have the slightest excitement, but his brows became more and more wrinkled.
He vaguely felt that something was wrong.
