Chapter 50 Gold and Jade Guanyin
Zhang Wei wanted to refuse Manager Wang, but just as he was about to speak, he suddenly had an idea, and thought to himself: "Although I can't tell the authenticity of these antiques, Manager Wang, as the owner of this place, should always know it!" As long as you can read his mind with mind-reading, won't you be able to know the authenticity of these antiques? ”
"Manager Wang, I don't know much about the collection industry, and I don't have any special favorite types, to put it bluntly, I am a layman, and I like to buy everything. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhang Wei said with a smile.
"At first glance, Mr. Zhang is a rich man, with courage and character." Manager Wang smiled and said with a thumbs up.
Although Manager Wang had a flattering expression on his face, he had some contempt for Zhang Wei in his heart, and said secretly: "No wonder you came with Zhou Fatzi?" It turns out that he is also a nouveau riche, see how I can knock you a sum of money. ”
There are two ways to classify the collection room of the Agarwood Pavilion, one is divided according to the type, such as porcelain, jade, bronze, calligraphy and painting and other different types, and the other is according to the price, which is a low-priced collection area within 10,000 yuan and a high-priced collection area of more than 200,000 yuan.
Since Zhang Wei said that he wanted to buy expensive collectibles, Manager Wang naturally took him to the high-end collection area, because this collection area is classified according to price, so there are all kinds of collections here, which makes Zhang Wei dizzy.
"Mr. Zhang, the items in this collection area are the most expensive and valuable collections in our store, or I will introduce them to you?" Manager Wang said with a smile.
"Okay, then there will be Manager Lao Wang." Zhang Wei nodded and replied, there are all kinds of antiques here, and many of them make Zhang Wei dazzled, let alone distinguish between the real and the fake.
"Mr. Zhang, please look here, this clay pot on my right hand is an ancient clay pot from the Western Han Dynasty unearthed in Chang'an, which I bought from a farmer's family in Chang'an more than ten years ago, and I spent nearly a thousand yuan at that time! At that time, it was a lot of money, and I was able to buy a house on the outskirts of the capital. Manager Wang showed a hint of longing on his face and said sincerely.
After Zhang Wei heard his introduction, he did not look at the clay pot, but stared at Manager Wang's eyes, and found that a row of golden fonts flashed in his eyes and wrote: "This clay pot was indeed bought by me for a thousand yuan, but it was not bought more than ten years ago, but it was bought back last month, and it is a high-imitation thing in itself, which is used to deceive laymen like you." ”
Zhang Wei saw through Manager Wang's heart, knowing that this clay pot was a fake, and naturally he would not have the desire to buy it again, but he still looked at this clay pot, the clay pot is made of clay, the whole body is gray, half a meter high, the caliber is wide, the belly is round, the bottom is pointed, and the body is engraved with fine patterns, and the clay pot is placed with a brand with a price of 3 million yuan.
If Zhang Wei didn't see through Manager Wang's thoughts, it would be really difficult to distinguish the authenticity of this clay pot, which made Zhang Wei's heart also touched.
Real estate agency and antique industry are very profitable industries, Zhang Wei can earn millions of yuan by selling a villa, and he can also earn millions of yuan by selling an imitation as an antique, but there are still certain differences in the nature of the industry.
For example, the real estate industry uses the fruits of their labor to obtain profits, while the antique industry has a smell of fraud, and the real estate agency industry has no risks, but if you look away once in the antique industry, you may lose money.
Seeing that Zhang Wei had no interest in this clay pot, a trace of disappointment flashed in Manager Wang's eyes, this clay pot can be said to be the item with the highest price in the agarwood category, if it can be sold, it can support this store for at least half a year.
Although Manager Wang was a little disappointed in his heart, he did not show it on his face, and continued to introduce these other items to Zhang Wei, and introduced more than a dozen items in a row, all of which were fakes, Zhang Wei could see through the thoughts in the other party's heart, so he naturally did not go back to buy these fakes.
Just when Zhang Wei was a little disappointed, Manager Wang introduced an antique to Zhang Wei again, which was a statue of Guanyin inlaid with gold and jade, a Guanyin carved from jade, and a lotus platform made of gold, surrounded by a gold-edged and gorgeous.
Manager Wang's introduction to this gold-inlaid jade Guanyin statue is very simple, and even a little bit of a word, but Zhang Wei found that Manager Wang's description of this Guanyin statue did not say a word of falsehood, which made Zhang Wei's heart move.
"Manager Wang, this Guanyin statue is very beautifully carved, but the price of 300,000 yuan is a bit high, can you give me a cheaper?" Zhang Wei asked tentatively, but a pair of deep eyes stared at Manager Wang tightly.
After hearing Zhang Wei's words, Manager Wang's heart trembled, and he said secretly: "This Jade Guanyin is one of the few genuine products in the store, and it can be sold at least 900,000 ~ 1 million or so at the auction, which can be said to be the most expensive antique in the Agarwood Pavilion. ”
At the same time, Manager Wang also muttered in his heart, he introduced more than a dozen antiques to Zhang Wei in a row, Zhang Wei did not have the slightest reaction, but when he arrived at this Guanyin statue, he asked about the price, is this guy not a nouveau riche and a rich second generation at all, but an antique appraisal master who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger.
If Zhang Wei is an old man over 50 years old, then Manager Wang will definitely suspect that he is a scheming and experienced appraisal master, but Zhang Wei, a hairy boy in his twenties, is estimated to not even be able to figure out the door of the collection industry, how can he be an appraisal master?
Although Manager Wang didn't believe that Zhang Wei could see the value of this gold-inlaid jade Guanyin statue, he didn't dare to take it lightly, and his mind was running at high speed, thinking about how to phrase Zhang Wei's idea of buying a Guanyin statue.
However, what Manager Wang didn't know was that his thoughts at this time were clearly seen by Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei's eyes lit up like a hungry wolf, and he had already made up his mind to auction this Guanyin statue, and at that time, he would be able to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars as long as he changed hands.
"Mr. Zhang, our Agarwood Pavilion has always been clearly priced, if you think this Guanyin statue is too expensive, you can take a look at other antiques." Manager Wang politely declined.
"Don't mind, it's hard to buy it if you have money, although this Jade Guanyin is more expensive, but I just like him, just according to the price of 300,000, I'll buy it." Zhang Weiwei waved his hand and said quite arrogantly, and his voice was unconsciously louder, attracting several customers to look back at him.
"This ...... This Mr. Zhang, you are not thinking about it. Seeing that Zhang Wei had to buy this Guanyin statue, Manager Wang saw sweat on his forehead, a wry smile on his face, racking his brains to think about how to make Zhang Wei give up buying Jade Guanyin.
"I said Manager Wang, you don't want to sell it to me, or you're afraid that I won't be able to pay it!" Zhang Wei shouted coldly, attracting everyone's attention again, and several customers put down the antiques in their hands and looked over here.
"Manager Wang, what's going on! The brother I brought wants to buy your things, and I don't think you're happy! Zhou Fatzi heard Zhang Wei's voice, put down the things at hand, walked to the two of them and asked.
Zhang Wei saw Zhou Fatzi coming to help, the corners of his mouth hooked a vague arc, the reason why he spoke loudly just now was that he was afraid that Manager Wang would not want to sell to him, or increase the price of Yuguanyin, so he attracted the attention of others, so that Zhou Fatzi had no room for regret in front of everyone.
"Look at what you said, how could I not be happy? I'll get the guy to help me put it up now. Manager Wang put on a smile that was more ugly than crying, and beckoned the guy next to him to help, for the reputation of Agarwood Pavilion, not to mention the loss of hundreds of thousands, even if he lost millions, he had to sell.
"Brother, you are really ruthless, you dare to buy 300,000 antiques for the first time, which is much better than my brother and me." Zhou Fatzi saw the price on the Jade Guanyin, smashed it, smashed it, and said with some surprise.
Although Zhou Fatzi is rich, the financial power of the family is in the hands of Wu Qian, and Wu Qian has always followed the creed of 'men become bad when they are rich', so they control his spending very tightly, which also makes Zhou Fatzi have no chance to squander in the antique shop.
"Hehe, fat brother, don't praise me, I don't know anything about the collection industry, I just like to have fun." Zhang Wei said with a humble face.
"Brother is right, isn't it just to have fun here? Come over and see how about I pick these antiques, and by the way, help Fat Brother and me check it. Fat Zhou patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder, and led him to the position where he chose antiques, with a confident look.
