Chapter 185: One Fish and Two Eats
I saw that the middle-aged shopkeeper who was dressed fashionably and elegantly stepped forward, "I have an eye for this little brother, so I can get a nine-percent discount directly!"
Sun Zhongyuan looked at the shopkeeper, this person was not only willing to dress up, but also polite and chic. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Thank you to the owner. Sun Zhongyuan thought secretly, it seems that this is the price, nine percent off, saving fifteen thousand, which is also a small amount of money, "Then help put it up!"
"You're welcome, I see that although the little brother is young, he is magnificent, and he likes this kind of scholarly elegance, which is rare!" said the man, handing over his business card.
Sun Zhongyuan took a look, oh! Ordinary people's business cards are all small cards, this boss's, it is a booklet, folded, half a foot long, printed with names, store names, photos, introductions, and a bunch of titles, directors of a certain collection association, directors of a certain calligraphy and painting institute, member units of a certain institution, and so on.
Qi Canghai, this name is also a bit imposing.
"Disrespectful and disrespectful, it turned out to be Mr. Qi. Sun Zhongyuan took the business card.
At this time, the waiter was busy packing the red sandalwood paperweight, Qi Canghai walked into the counter, bent down to open the cabinet under the glass display case, and asked, "Little brother, what is your surname?"
"Don't have your surname Sun. Sun Zhongyuan had been staring at the waiter, but when he saw her turn the paperweight into the brocade box, he found a paper bag, and then responded to Qi Canghai.
Unexpectedly, Qi Canghai took out a piece of red sandalwood paperweight of the same size from the counter!
This paperweight is also engraved with four words: Meixiang Half Window!
And, it seems, it is also something of the Kangxi Dynasty.
Okay! The pine breeze is a pillow, and the plum fragrance is half a window. This red sandalwood paperweight was originally a pair!
Sun Zhongyuan frowned. Qi Canghai seemed to be fine, and put this piece of "Meixiang Half Window" paperweight into the counter, in the middle of several jade pieces.
"Sir, the things are packed, do you swipe the card or transfer the money?" the waiter smiled while carrying the paper bag.
"Wait a minute. Sun Zhongyuan didn't answer for the time being, but stared at the piece of red sandalwood paperweight that Qi Canghai put on the counter.
Qi Canghai looked at Sun Zhongyuan and smiled slightly, "I'm sorry little brother, the place on the counter is narrow, and you can only put a paperweight on it." ”
"And how much is this piece?" asked Sun Zhongyuan.
"It's like I see that the little brother has an eye, this one is more pleasing to the eye, so the price is high, 200,000! However, if the little brother wants, he can also get a 9% discount, 180,000!" Qi Canghai said with a smile.
Even if both pieces are 150,000, if they are not discounted, it is 300,000. But Qi Canghai sold it separately, and the discounted price was 15,000 more than the non-discounted price!
"Boss Qi, this fish tastes better when you eat it twice, right?" Sun Zhongyuan asked with a smile, feeling very unhappy as soon as possible.
Originally, it was an original pair of rosewood paperweights, but in fact, they were essentially the same thing! Qi Canghai ate two fish and two fishes, and he played wishful thinking, just to sell for more money. Once you buy a piece of paperweight, only to find that it is a pair, and the other piece is good and there, most people will want to buy it together.
This method is very common in antique shops. I don't take out this paperweight, and I don't know if there is a pair. And some things, connoisseurs look at it, they know that it is one of a pair, some beginners or do not know how to trade, buy a piece and go, go back to ask the connoisseur, people say: this thing should be a pair! If there is another one, it will be perfect!
When I go back to the seller, the seller will often say: It's really a couple! However, the other one is in my brother's hand (or my brother, my parents, my wife, it doesn't matter), and he asks for a high price!
Hey, that's so much money!
"Little brother is a person in the industry?" Qi Canghai smiled when he heard Sun Zhongyuan say this.
"I sell things, that is, the quality is high and the price is high, this is the old red sandalwood paperweight of the Kangxi Dynasty, which is rare. And you don't have to say that you can eat two pieces of fish! Why? Because some people really only need one piece and don't want to buy two. And those who are willing to make the right one will not care if they spend more money. I'm pricing on demand, not as deliberate as you say. ”
Sun Zhongyuan said in his heart, this person has a good skin, and he has a clever tongue. If that's the case, you can wait for me to leave and then take out another piece? Or just put a pair and clearly mark the price, indicating that you can sell it separately!
No treachery, no business, as it is. What's more, it is still in the antique shop, and the store is also opened in a five-star hotel.
However, there is no way to discuss this matter with him, people just sell it like this, how can you treat it? Besides, if you are not happy, you can hold on and not buy it!
Sun Zhongyuan really didn't want to buy it! Because, he looked at another piece of "Meixiang Half Window" paperweight, which was a piece of red sandalwood, and there was no extra treasure!
"Let's transfer it!" Sun Zhongyuan smiled at the waiter.
Until Sun Zhongyuan finished transferring the account, Qi Canghai was still a little stunned. Hey, he's really not right! I knew I might as well not discount it!
seems to be sitting in the corner of the store drinking tea, but this Qi Canghai is watching and listening to all directions, and he can support any customer and any situation. Seeing that Sun Zhongyuan was angry, and turned around and only looked carefully at the red sandalwood ruler, the price was high, and he also planned to buy it, so Qi Canghai came up to play.
As a result, the play is smashed!
"Little brother, let's go!" Qi Canghai sent out of the store, but he didn't see Sun Zhongyuan turning back.
Sun Zhongyuan didn't go back to the room with his things, and went out directly by taxi. He was going to go to an antique market.
If you want to cut open this piece of rosewood paperweight and keep the contents intact, you have to have professional tools, and even if Sun Zhongyuan has tools, the craftsmanship is not good, he has to find a professional shop to deal with it.
Sun Zhongyuan took a taxi to Panjiayuan, inquired, looked again, and arrived at a woodware shop opened by a southerner.
The shopkeeper is thin and capable, and Sun Zhongyuan got straight to the point, saying that this paperweight is an ancestral heirloom in the family, and there is something sealed in it, so he has to open it and take a look. I just don't know what it's in and how big it is, so I'll have to find a professional to be careful.
"No problem, our master has been working for more than 30 years. The shopkeeper looked at the paperweight, "This is old material, what about after taking it out?"
Sun Zhongyuan thought for a while, "You can process the bead bracelet, make the best use of it! ”
The things in this are very bright, Sun Zhongyuan can't leave, and after negotiating the processing fee, Sun Zhongyuan is in the store and looks at the master.
The master's craftsmanship is indeed relatively old, he took a small hand saw, first sawed a small hole vertically from the narrow side, and then gently stretched it a little with the tool, and found that there was nothing abnormal. Another narrow side was sawn.
As a result, the problem was found on this narrow side, and the plug was on this side!
"Good craftsmanship!" the master was full of praise, "this plug is made perfectly, and I don't know what to use to treat the gaps, I can't see it at all!"
