Chapter 010: Birdcage Hook
The things that can be put out and sold by the stall owners are generally not too valuable, and some are even worthless. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Those that are really valuable have been picked by them several times and sold to the right customers, how can they be left?
And those who are put out and sold by them are naturally waiting for the wronged boss to come to the door, and they can make one and one count.
With Chu Ning's eyesight, at a glance, you can immediately see that nine out of ten of them are fake.
As for the remaining fractions, she needs to take a closer look before she can make some judgments.
However, even though he knew that most of the things on these stalls were fakes or even modern handicrafts, Chu Ning did not ignore them, but still squatted down in front of the stall closest to him according to his original plan.
The stall owner was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties, with an honest and loyal face. At this time, he was on the other side of the stall, haggling with two customers who had selected the object.
Seeing Chu Ning's three young girls stop in front of his stall, he only thought that this was a student who came to buy bargains, and he didn't take it to heart, and continued to negotiate with the guests in front of him.
Qian Beibei didn't understand what an antique was, and he wasn't very interested in the things on the stalls. She looked curiously at the few people next to her who were talking about business, poked Chu Ning's waist, and asked in a curious low voice: "Chu Chu, what is that person holding in his hand? Why does it look strange?"
Chu Ning glanced at the situation, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect this stall owner to be a little clever and actually get this thing to sell." That's a birdcage hook, and very few people sell it these days. ”
"Birdcage hook?" Qian Beibei was even more confused, "what is that?" ”
Zou Yuling was attracted by their conversation, and she also leaned her head over with great interest.
"Birdcage hook, as the name suggests, refers to the hook that naturally hangs on top of the birdcage and is used to hang it under the eaves or something. Chu Ning explained, "Don't look at the birdcage hook, the things are not big, and the materials are also small, but the birdcage hook made by the real master is not low." In modern times, the birdcage hooks made by Zhong Ming and Xu Yunlin are the best, most exquisite, and most sought after by everyone. A fine birdcage hook they made is now generally worth 40,000 to 60,000 yuan. If it is put up for auction, the price may be higher. ”
Forty thousand to sixty thousand?!
Can it still be auctioned?!
Qian Beibei looked at Chu Ning with an incredulous expression, and involuntarily looked in the direction where the stall owner was.
Tens of thousands of yuan is naturally not a big amount for Qian Beibei, but it's just a simple birdcage hook!
And she had already seen the birdcage hook in the hand of the man not far away, just an ordinary-looking iron hook, and a disc hanging underneath. The iron hook and the disc are connected by a small ring, and the shape is very simple, and it looks old, and there is nothing surprising at all.
It's something like this, and it's worth tens of thousands?!
Seeing Qian Beibei's eyes and expression, Chu Ning smiled dumbly, and said meaningfully: "The valuable birdcage hook I said was from the master's handwriting. Since it is a master's work, how can it be so easy for us to bump into it?"
Birdcage hooks are miscellaneous items in antiques. The number of things in miscellaneous items is much smaller than that of other objects. And the birdcage hook is a more out-of-the-box thing in the miscellaneous pieces, many people don't even know that there is such a thing, let alone that the birdcage hook can be sold separately, and it can be sold at such a high price!
There are not many birdcage hooks made by the masters back then, which have been passed down to this day, and can still be found and kept intact.
Even if there were, it was already collected by those who knew the goods, or sold in an antique store-like place.
The chances of a boutique birdcage hook falling on the stall are slim to none.
Qian Beibei understood the unfinished meaning of Chu Ning's words, and couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved.
If there are really so many things worth tens of thousands of dollars everywhere on these stalls, then she will really have to change her view of these stalls that she used to look down on!
Qian Beibei's own family is in business, although she has not been in contact with the family's business, but she also knows that she can't break the rules of other people's trading, so she suddenly lowered her voice even more: "Chu Chu, how much is the birdcage hook in that person's hand worth?"
The stall owner and the two people were not low, and they all came to Chu Ning and the others. Qian Beibei heard that they had talked from the stall owner's offer of 3,000 yuan to 1,800 yuan, and they had not yet reached an agreement.
Chu Ning glanced at the birdcage hook a few more times, and said in a low voice: "If I'm not mistaken, that thing is made of iron, and a little trick is used to disguise it, but in fact, the process is very rough, and it is not even a handicraft, and it is not worth anything." If you really want to calculate the price, it's only a few dollars!"
Qian Beibei & Zou Yuling: "......"
They have been in the same dormitory with Chu Ning for a year, and they know Chu Ning's character, so they naturally believe in what Chu Ning said.
Since Chu Ning said that the thing was worthless, it must be worthless.
But it is precisely because of this that the two of them are speechless.
Look at the way the stall owner bargained with people, and almost praised the simple iron hook, as if he had cut his flesh and sucked his blood by asking the price to 1,080.
The two buyers obviously couldn't resist the stall owner's bargaining power, and finally bought the birdcage hook at a price of 1,08.
That's it, the two of them bought something worth a few dollars for 1,000 yuan, and they looked like they were glad to take advantage of a big bargain, and left satisfied.
This made Qian Beibei and Zou Yuling, the two people who watched the audience, really speechless.
"This boss is too black-hearted, he dares to ask for such a high price for such a thing......" Zou Yuling muttered in a low voice.
The most important thing is that the boss actually made this business done!
Chu Ning smiled slightly: "This line of work is like this, the test is an eyesight." The boss can sell what he has in his hand at a price higher than its original value, which is the boss's ability. Even if the buyer finds out that he has lost money after the fact, he cannot come to the boss to theorize. Similarly, if the boss sells something expensive at a low price, it is impossible to find a buyer to make up the difference. We, the bystanders, should not interfere in the transaction between the two sides. ”
Therefore, in the antique industry, eyesight is so important.
Although she understands the truth, Zou Yuling, who was born in an ordinary family, is still a little unconvinced, and she has a very bad impression of the stall owner who makes "black money".
Qian Beibei was eager to try: "Then Chu Chu, take a look, is there anything worth buying in this stall?" I also plan to learn from those people on TV, and also pick up a leak!"
