"Old Yu shopkeeper, please help those guests to identify the price, just follow your wishes, no need to ask my opinion. ”
When Zhang Tianyuan was about to sit aside and discuss the matter of wrenching his fingers, he suddenly thought of one thing, he hadn't even marked the price of the newly brought things, but when he was about to give the price list to the shopkeeper, he changed his mind.
Because he thought of one thing, there are many antique shops under his company's jurisdiction, and it is impossible for him to personally come to ask about every antique, and why did he spend a lot of money to hire the shopkeeper? It is because these shopkeepers are knowledgeable, and why should he let the old shopkeeper be the general consultant? It is because he knows how to appraise antiques and knows how much a thing is worth.
Although this judgment is only approximate, it will definitely not suffer, because all the owners of antique shops will double the price on the basis of their own valuation, or even multiply it several times, which is the windfall profit in the antique shop.
Besides, Zhang Tianyuan judges the price of a thing, and he also relies on the word appreciation trick to judge, and his word appreciation trick is not absolutely accurate, and there is also a lot of error, so Zhang Tianyuan judges the price of a thing, and then combines the word appreciation trick, and then adjusts it appropriately online, of course, when he buys it, it must be a price reduction.
So this matter, it is okay to hand it over to the shopkeeper of Lao Yu, so many things, can't you sell it if you stay here all day? In that case, you can't do anything else? Besides, this is also a test for the shopkeeper of Lao Yu. If he does it well, then the promise works. If he can't even estimate the price of these things, he can't tell the authenticity. Then who would dare to let him be the general consultant?
So this is definitely a two-win thing, take advantage of this opportunity, you can also let Xu Xu, Qin Feixue, and Gao Qianqian learn a little bit with them.
As for the wrench in his hand, to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that this middle-aged man has an extraordinary conversation and a good temperament, he shouldn't be an ordinary person, Zhang Tianyuan wouldn't be too lazy to compete with him, so he would just hand it over to the shopkeeper to deal with.
A few people went to the reception room in the side hall. Liu Mengxun helped pour new tea, and also poured a cup for the middle-aged man, and then sat next to Zhang Tianyuan, she was also very interested in these jade and other things, I really wanted to hear how much such a small wrench could be worth.
Li Mingguang was originally here to hang out today, and seeing that there were many people over there, he didn't like it too much. So he sat down, in fact, he also set his eyes on this wrench just now, but he was preempted by this middle-aged man. He was embarrassed to rob it, after all, he was a scholar, and he was always a little poor.
It's just that I can't hold back this word of appreciation. So he said, "Tian Yuan, how about this wrench for the teacher to see? I found that the pattern on it is very exquisite." It's a little bit related to a topic I've been working on recently, and I might be able to find a clue from it. It's just that I'm very puzzled, this kind of wrench is almost impossible to see in China, where did you get it, in order to study the topic, I asked my students to find it all over the country, although I also found a few, but it's not quite right, when I see this today, I know the right one, this is the handwriting of an official in the Qing Dynasty, carved on the wrench, although his level does not dare to say that compared with the masters, but the important thing is that it has research value, because this carving with the document unearthed in our country, it should be able to solve a historical unsolved case......"
"Teacher, you can take it if you like, this thing was picked up by me last time I went to Burma, a family heirloom of a friend, it is said that his ancestors are the royal family of Burma. Zhang Tianyuan didn't want to tell about the treasure, so he made up a lie, but this lie became seamless, and no one could go to Myanmar to verify it.
"No, no, no, I don't dare to ask for this thing, I just want to study it, just draw the pattern on it. Li Mingguang hurriedly waved his hand.
Although he does want this thing very much, but the gentleman does not take the favor of others, not to mention that he can't embarrass Zhang Tianyuan, right, with Zhang Tianyuan's character, this thing will definitely be given to him, then he will definitely offend that guest, this approach is really not suitable.
"Teacher, how much is this thing worth, isn't it more than 200,000 yuan, I found an expert for this estimate. "In fact, this thing is only about 100,000 yuan, Zhang Tianyuan doubled the price, originally, doing business is like this, especially the antique business, this is not accurate.
The middle-aged man grabbed the wrench in his hand and refused to put it down, as if he was afraid of being snatched by Li Mingguang, and under Zhang Tianyuan's urging, he sighed and put the wrench on the table for Li Mingguang to appreciate.
It can be seen that he really likes this thing and is willing to pay a high price to buy it, so what he is most afraid of is that this thing will be snatched away.
Just now he told Lao Yu that the price was right for him, which meant that it was cheaper, but now he has changed his mind, as long as the price is not too excessive, he wants it, he is not short of money, but he lacks good things.
What he didn't expect was that Zhang Tianyuan was not a guy in this store, he looked like the boss of the shopkeeper, he thought about it for a while, and he understood Zhang Tianyuan's identity, and he was also amazed in his heart, he had heard that the chairman of the HRE Group was a young man, but he didn't expect it to be so young, it was too surprising.
He took a sip of tea and quietly waited for the judgment of fate, hoping that the god of fate would award this thing to him and not to someone else.
"I'll just take a look, don't be nervous, don't be nervous. Li Mingguang smiled, then carefully picked up the wrench, and took the magnifying glass handed over by Liu Mengxun, and observed it carefully, he was not interested in the jade quality of the wrench, he could see it at a glance, it was a proper mutton fat white jade, but what he cared more about was the pattern on it, just a cursory look at it, so it was not particularly confirmed, this time it must be carefully observed.
"You don't need to ask about this thing, presumably Tianyuan, you and this guest can see it, this is a mutton fat white jade wrench. It's worth a lot of money, and I'm going to talk about the carving above. Such a level, of course, cannot be regarded as top-notch. However, it is definitely good, and many of these things are worth a lot of money just because someone did it, for example, Tang Bohu's figure painting is actually not top-notch, but because he is Tang Bohu, his figure painting may be more expensive than many better paintings. ”
"Let's put it this way, if you sell it to ordinary people. That is, one or two hundred thousand RMB, which is not too valuable, but if you want to sell someone like me, one million, or even two million, I am willing to give it, this thing has a lot to do with me, and this can solve a doubt that I have been thinking for many years. A puzzled ......"
Li Mingguang carefully observed the carving on the wrench, then put the thing down, leaned back in the chair and said.
"Are you serious?"
Zhang Tianyuan was a little shocked, such a wrench. According to the eyes of ordinary collectors, it is only 200,000 at most, and there is still room for growth after buying. But if it is more, it will be a loss. A million, that's definitely not going to come out. Not to mention two million.
According to Li Mingguang's statement, it's just a bottle of antidote, for people who are not poisoned, that thing has no meaning, but for poisoned people, it can save lives, this Zhang Tianyuan can still understand.
After realizing this, Zhang Tianyuan learned another trick, this selling antiques also depends on the person who cooks the food, not selling it indiscriminately, and you have to pay attention to it in the future.
For example, selling antiques such as jewelry to girls who like to be beautiful will definitely make more money than selling them to mere collectors.
Positioning, positioning must be accurate, how did I ignore this point before, fortunately, this is just the beginning of selling these things, otherwise it would be a big loss.
"You kid is really, what is the teacher lying to you, this gentleman, I'm afraid you can't take this thing, your price is too low......"
Professor Li Mingguang looked at the middle-aged man beside him, and said with an apologetic smile, he felt that he would definitely be able to fight for it, now it is not for free, but to pay for it, this money is related to a historical unsolved case, which is a huge help for China's archaeological work, not to mention a million, he is not short of this money.
"This can't be done, I like it first, how can I let you buy it, one million is one million, I bought it!" I thought that the middle-aged man would give up directly, but who knew that this person actually shook his head and firmly put the price to one million, so Li Mingguang was not too embarrassed to fight.
Zhang Tianyuan asked a little puzzled: "This gentleman, didn't I say it, aren't you afraid that this old gentleman is the nursery I hired? This has risen from 200,000 to 1 million all of a sudden, and you actually plan to buy it without blinking an eye? Tsk, didn't I say you, you can't be so bad if you have money, forget it, forget it!"
Zhang Tianyuan first thought that this middle-aged man was really strange, and secondly, he still wanted to sell this thing to his teacher Li Mingguang, so he said this, he didn't doubt the financial resources of this middle-aged man, but Li Mingguang had an unusual relationship with him, even if he had a little money, he would sell this thing to his teacher.
"Hahaha, what's there to hesitate about, I don't believe that the president of the National University of Geosciences will give others a trust, and the reputation of your boss Zhang, I have also heard of it, he is bold and generous, and he always does not cheat friends, so your character, I am a hundred trusts, and I bought one million. The middle-aged man suddenly laughed and said.
"Do you know us?" asked Li Mingguang in surprise.
"Professor Li, your joke is too big, how can I not know a big person like you, so let's buy this thing, and then give it to you to study, and when you finish researching, how about returning it to me?" The middle-aged man smiled and said: "You may have forgotten who I am, but I still remember you vividly, it was you who casually clicked it at the beginning, so that I can have today, and now the family has a little spare money, buy some collectibles or something." ”
It turned out that this person used to be a gambling stone, because he got Li Mingguang's one-time allocation, and as a result, he made a lot of money, and he later stopped gambling on stones, but invested in a Chinese novel website, and later this website was acquired by a large group for 500 million US dollars, and he used this 500 million US dollars to open a publishing company, and now the business is booming, and life is also very comfortable.
With money, he naturally wanted to play some collection, but he didn't expect that when he came to Panjiayuan for the first time today, he actually met his benefactor back then.
"I'm sorry, I'm old, my memory is not good, I really don't remember Your Excellency, can you give me a reminder?" Li Mingguang asked suspiciously.
