Chapter 12: The First Pot of Gold
The more Jiang Ping thought about it, the more he felt that the name "snobbery" was very consistent with his ability. Jiang Ping, who was in a good mood, decided to strike while the iron was hot and then use snobbery to see the fortunes of others.
However, after trying, Jiang Ping found that the snobbery was not working again. It seems that the coolness absorbed from the white jade snuffbox just now is only enough to show snobbery once. Now that he had named his abilities "Snobbery", Jiang Ping felt that it would be more appropriate to call the coolness absorbed from the snuffbox "Reiki".
For Jiang Ping, the lack of aura is not a big problem. The snuffbox is still in his hand, as long as he absorbs some more.
However, when Jiang Ping tried to absorb the aura again, he found that the snuffbox was empty, and no matter how hard he tried, he could no longer feel the coolness that made his eyes feel very comfortable before. This also made Jiang Ping understand that the aura contained in the snuffbox was also limited, and it could only support him to use snobbery once.
Jiang Ping was not very worried about this, obviously as long as it was an old object that was a little old, it would contain more or less aura. This white jade snuff bottle is only an object of the Republic of China, and it is reasonable that it contains less aura. As long as Jiang Ping finds more and more precious antiques or works of art, he naturally does not have to worry about the source of the aura.
Since there was no aura in the white jade snuffbox, it would be of little use to Jiang Ping. He bought the snuff bottle with the intention of making some money, and then he should find a good buyer.
There is less than a month to go before the college entrance examination, and Jiang Pinglai has sneaked out of the antique street, but there is not much time to find a suitable buyer. He wandered around the antique street for a while, and chose a shop called "Julongzhai" to sell the white jade snuff bottles he had just bought.
The reason why Jiang Ping chose this antique shop is because this store is not only relatively large, but also the things on the counter are not bad. Although it cannot be said that everything is genuine, it is also eight or nine without leaving ten. It can be seen that the owner of this house is a serious businessman, and Jiang Ping prefers to deal with such people.
When Jiang Ping walked into Julongzhai, there were only two or three customers inside. A young man who looks like a guy accompanies customers, and behind the antique counter sits a middle-aged man who looks like the owner of the store.
Jiang Ping was not ambiguous, and went straight to the counter and asked the middle-aged man: "Excuse me, do you accept things here?"
In fact, as soon as Jiang Ping walked into Julongzhai, Wu Hanqing had already noticed him. At first, Wu Hanqing didn't pay much attention to Jiang Ping, but just regarded him as a young man who came in casually because he was curious.
It wasn't until Jiang Ping opened his mouth that Wu Hanqing looked at him with some surprise and said, "Of course I accept it, may I ask if this kid has anything to sell?"
In fact, Wu Hanqing is only in his forties, and this "little friend" also makes Jiang Ping, who has the soul of an uncle, feel a little awkward. But thinking about his real age now, he didn't care about anything, just put the snuffbox on the counter and whispered, "This is it." β
Wu Hanqing looked at the snuffbox for a while, nodded secretly in his heart, put down the snuffbox and asked Jiang Ping: "How much do you plan to sell it?"
When he was out shopping before, Jiang Ping had already roughly touched the current antique market, so he said without thinking about it: "Four thousand five!"
Jiang Ping's offer made Wu Hanqing involuntarily raise his eyebrows, knowing that the young man in front of him was still an expert. The price of four thousand five was just right, although the seller did not suffer any loss, but it also left some profit space for Wu Hanqing, making it difficult for him to refuse the deal.
Although Wu Hanqing felt that this price was fair, as a businessman, he naturally wanted to lower the price, so he quickly smiled and said: "Little friend, you really dare to make a price!"
Jiang Ping also said with a smile: "Look at this carving and the pulp on it, at least they are also from the early years of the Republic of China." And although it is not Hetian seed material, it is also a good mountain material, only a little bit to the mutton fat jade Cheng dΓΉ, my price is not high. β
Hearing Jiang Ping tell the truth about the materials and age of the snuff bottle, Wu Hanqing couldn't help but feel a little interested in this young man, so he said with a smile: "Can you tell me where I got this thing? As long as the way is correct enough, we can continue to talk." β
The reason why Wu Hanqing asked this question was, first, that he was a little curious about Jiang Ping, and wanted to know whether his evaluation of the snuff box was his own opinion or whether he heard it from others; and second, he wanted to find out the origin of the snuff bottle. Nowadays, some young people secretly take out their things at home to sell, and after being discovered, their families will come over and try all kinds of ways to get things back, Wu Hanqing doesn't want to cause such trouble.
Of course, Jiang Ping understood what Wu Hanqing meant, and smiled faintly at him: "You can rest assured, the source of the thing is absolutely legitimate, and I just collected it outside!"
Wu Hanqing didn't expect that this young man would have such eyesight, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised. However, he also knew that this kind of thing could be figured out as long as he went out and asked, so Jiang Ping had no need to lie.
Since there is no problem with the origin of things, Wu Hanqing turned his energy to the price. As a businessman, of course, you want the higher the profit, the better, and in this way, you need to keep the purchase price as low as possible. In Wu Hanqing's opinion, even if Jiang Ping's vision is good, he is still so young after all, and it should not be difficult to press the purchase price down.
However, Jiang Ping had a doctorate in psychology in his previous life, and his understanding of human psychology was far better than that of most people, and negotiation was definitely his forte. After some bargaining, Wu Hanqing didn't take advantage of it, and finally bought the white jade snuff bottle for 4,000 yuan.
After the money and goods were cleared, Wu Hanqing said to Jiang Ping with a smile: "I have been running this Julongzhai for many years, and I have never met a young man like you, it is really terrifying, admire!"
Jiang Ping, who had done business, was also in a good mood, and smiled modestly: "You won the prize, I'm just lucky." β
Jiang Ping's modest attitude also made Wu Hanqing's impression of this young man a little better, and he took the initiative to hand him his business card and said: "This is my business card, if there are any other items to sell in the future, just come to me!"
Speaking of which, Wu Hanqing can be regarded as the first network that Jiang Ping has expanded since his rebirth, and he naturally attaches great importance to it. Jiang Ping took Wu Hanqing's business card with both hands, took a closer look at it, and then carefully put it away, and then introduced himself with a smile: "Hello Mr. Wu, my name is Jiang Ping, and I am a senior in high school. β
Although it had long been seen that Jiang Ping was very young, Wu Hanqing was also very surprised when he knew that he was still a high school student. Such a young Jiang Ping actually has such a good vision, and he can already pick up leaks in the antique street where the water is very deep, which really makes Wu Hanqing look at him differently.
Of course, Jiang Ping didn't care about Wu Hanqing's opinion of himself, he cared more about today's harvest. The snuff box bought for 800 yuan, and when I turned around, I sold it for 4,000 yuan, and the harvest was indeed very good. After all, it is 2002, and more than 3,000 yuan is already equal to two months' salary of Jiang Ping's father. If you take into account Jiang Ping's current age and identity, it is not an exaggeration to say that these three thousand yuan is the first pot of gold in his life.
Jiang Ping secretly calculated that if this momentum was maintained, even if he failed to save enough for his sister's medical expenses after half a year, the gap would not be too far. However, Jiang Ping did not plan to bring the 4,000 yuan back, but planned to buy some suitable things in the antique street to make more profits.
Since Jiang Ping was already in Julongzhai now, he simply started to look at it from here, and Jiang Ping really found something of interest in this look.
