Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Treasure Is Not Handy

Meng Songhai saw that the delicate and elegant hand cup in his hand had the Yongle New Year, but he did not think that it was a genuine product in the Yongle period, because the genuine ones were so rare that there were only a handful, and in his memory, there were only three pieces in the collection of the Palace Museum.

Today there is another opportunity to use the "Wisdom Treasure Treasure", Meng Songhai intends to use it on the Ming Yongle blue and white dragon pattern celestial ball bottle, but before using it, he first asked the price.

"Brother Wang, how are you going to sell these two pieces of porcelain?"

Meng Songhai's tone of voice was very flat, and Wang Liqiang couldn't tell if he liked these two things.

"I'll give you a real price, one thousand and five for the Tianqiu bottle and one thousand for the bowl."

Meng Songhai put down the hand cup, picked up the Tianqiu bottle, and used the "Wisdom Treasure Recognition", confirming that it was the official kiln of Yongle, although he was very happy in his heart, but there was no trace of excitement and joy on his face.

"Can it be cheaper?" Meng Songhai said and put down the Tianqiu Bottle again, and asked lightly.

"It's already very low, sell it to you at this price, and I'll make some hard-earned money."

Meng Songhai hesitated for a moment and asked, "I have foreign exchange coupons here, do you want them?" ”

"Foreign exchange coupons? All right! Wang Liqiang said happily, "I am trying to add home appliances to my home. ”

"This bottle, a thousand yuan foreign exchange coupons."

"This ......" Wang Liqiang knew that the purchasing power of foreign exchange bills was higher than that of RMB of the same denomination, and this Tianqiu bottle, he offered 15,000, which was not the lowest price, if Meng Songhai asked for a reduction of a few hundred, he would also accept it, thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, a thousand is a thousand." This bowl, don't you want? ”

"It's too expensive!" Meng Songhai smiled and picked up the Celestial Sphere Bottle.

"How much do you think is appropriate?"

"A hundred at most."

"Okay, a hundred dollars in foreign exchange coupons." Wang Liqiang said.

Wang Liqiang bought this hand-pressing bowl for 20 yuan, and now he sells 100 yuan foreign exchange coupons, he feels that he has made more than five times the profit, and this business is very cost-effective.

"I'll get you the money."

Meng Songhai took the Tianqiu bottle into his bedroom, put the porcelain bottle on the desk, took out eleven foreign exchange coupons with a face value of 100 yuan from the drawer, returned to Wang Liqiang, and handed the foreign exchange coupons to the other party.

After Wang Liqiang took it, he counted it and made sure that it was correct, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wrapped the foreign exchange coupon with a handkerchief, and then put it in his pocket.

"Brother Meng, that Yongle Blue and White Heavenly Sphere Bottle is good, right?" Wang Liqiang asked with a smile.

"How can I say it......" Meng Songhai said with a smile, "If it's true, the price is quite affordable, if it's fake, then I'll lose a lot." On the market, there are too many porcelain imitations of Ming blue and white, and I only need four or five percent of that bottle. ”

Wang Liqiang smiled and nodded, he himself was not sure whether this Yongle blue and white Tianqiu bottle was genuine, he picked up the teacup, took a few sips of tea, chatted a few words, and he stood up.

"Brother Meng, I still have something to do, so I'll go first."

"Brother Wang, when you encounter good things in the future, you have to think more about your brother." Meng Songhai said with a smile.

"I will."

"I'll send you."

Meng Songhai not only sent Wang Liqiang out, but also accompanied the other party downstairs.

After saying goodbye, Wang Liqiang left on his bicycle, and Meng Songhai also turned around and went home.

Back at home, Meng Songhai saw the second brother sitting on the sofa, holding a hand-pressed cup in his right hand.

"Little Wuzi, just this small bowl is worth a hundred yuan in foreign exchange coupons?" Meng Guoqiang asked curiously.

"It's worth it or not, it depends on what you like, it's worth it!"

"Aren't you talking nonsense, I'm asking you, let you sell, can you find a buyer and sell it at a price higher than 100 yuan in foreign exchange coupons?"

"It should be possible."

"Should?" Meng Guoqiang smiled, "You're not sure...... And that bottle, a thousand yuan foreign exchange coupon, spend a little time, you can exchange it for 1,500 yuan, this bottle is too expensive, hehe, do you really think it's a treasure? ”

"I really think it's a baby." Meng Songhai smiled confidently, "Yongle blue and white dragon pattern celestial ball bottle, I estimate that in Hong Kong, such a bottle can be sold for more than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars." ”

"Are you going to sell to Hong Kongers?"

"Leave it to yourself."

"Your toys are expensive enough!" Meng Guoqiang quipped, handed the cup in his hand to Meng Songhai, "Take it back to the room and keep it!" ”

"There is a saying in the antique shop that 'treasure is not in your hands', you put it down first."

"Can't get your hands on it?" Meng Guoqiang was stunned for a moment, gently put the hand cup on the coffee table, and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"A lot of antiques are very valuable and fragile, such as porcelain and jade, if they are handed directly from one person's hand to another, if the object happens to fall to the ground during the delivery, is it considered that the person who delivered it did not deliver it well, or did the person who received it not take it well...... If you can't say it clearly, you're going to have a contradiction. ”

"Oh!" Meng Guoqiang suddenly realized, "I understand...... So how do you hand things over? ”

"Dizzy!" Meng Songhai rolled his eyes and said, "Put it on the table or somewhere else, after confirming that the items are placed, leave with both hands, and then ask the next person to pick it up by yourself, and there is no contact between the two people, which is called 'treasure but not hand'." ”

"I'm not giving you a chance to show off your skills!" Meng Guoqiang smiled, "I didn't expect that there are a lot of doors in the antique shop!" ”

"There are so many doorways, I've just pushed open one door." Monzon sneered.

Meng Songhai picked up the hand cup, admired it for a while, looked at Meng Guoqiang, who was playing with a pair of walnut plates, and asked, "Second brother, do you think this cup is beautiful?" ”

"It's okay, it's just a little more expensive, but I think I can sell it for a higher price, so I ......"

Meng Guoqiang wanted to say, "It's not that expensive", but he didn't say it, shook his head, and continued: "I still think it's expensive." Such a small bowl is not as beautiful as a large vase. ”

Meng Songhai smiled slightly and did not answer.

Meng Guoqiang stared at Meng Songhai for a few moments and asked, "Little Wuzi, now, the most valuable antique in your hand is the bottle you bought just now?" ”

"It's hard to say, before the transaction, it's really hard to say which thing has the most expensive market price." Meng Songhai stood up, "Second brother, let's stop chatting, hurry up and pair the walnuts, I'll hide this bowl first." ”

"When will you be able to match so many walnuts?"

"Didn't you let you pick a big one first, leave the small one, don't need to match it for the time being, and let the customers pick it themselves when they sell."

"Did you really let Dad set up a stall to sell walnuts?"

"Let you sell!" Meng Songhai laughed.

Meng Songhai walked into his bedroom and put the hand bowl in the drawer.

Looking at the Tianqiu bottle on the desk, Meng Songhai muttered, "Where to put it?" After two days, I will go to the glaze factory, buy some boxes for antiques, and sell a few large boxes, preferably old mahogany boxes...... The size of this room is too small, although the house price is very low now, but I don't have much money in my hand, and I keep buying antiques, and I still want to think of more money. ”

Meng Songhai thought for a moment and decided to put the Tianqiu bottle in the closet.

After putting away the Tianqiu bottle, Meng Songhai walked out of the bedroom.

"Second brother, what do you think of making money now?"

"I don't know." Meng Guoqiang said with a smile, "I really want to hear you say that no matter what business you do, if you do it well, you will make money." ”

"yes." Meng Songhai suddenly thought of the gambling stone, reached out and picked up two walnuts, and finished the plate, "How about we go to Yundian to play for a few days?" ”

"You're going to Yundian to do business?"

"There's this idea."

"What kind of business?"

"Emerald business. Ruili, Tengchong and other places in Yundian are very close to the jadeite producing areas of Myanmar, I heard that the price of jadeite there is quite cheap, I want to buy some back and sell them in the capital! ”

"Is the jade business easy to do?"

"I feel okay." Meng Songhai smiled, "Don't be in a hurry for the time being, after the eldest sister's restaurant opens, it's not too late for us to get up and go to Yundian." ”

"Just the two of us?"

"Scared?" Meng Songhai quipped, "My second brother's courage is not so small?!" ”

"Who said I was scared." Meng Guoqiang glanced at Meng Songhai, "Before, you asked me to do stamp business, and now you let me accompany you to Yundian, a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, I feel that this is not good, hehe, I am afraid that the money you make from selling diamonds will soon be tossed away by you." ”

"Are you not optimistic about me?"

"Not very promising."

"Huh!" Meng Songhai smiled, "Don't worry, you can't lose, it's a matter of earning more and earning less." In case of a loss, it doesn't matter much, we can go to Yunnan and Yunnan for a long time, and we can also have a long experience, so we should go out for a long trip. ”

"Listen to you, who made you my boss!"

"It's good to understand."

"I can't understand it alone, if my parents don't agree with us going, we can't go!"

"Second brother, we have grown up, good men are ambitious, as long as we are not fooling around, what do we think, my parents will not disagree...... Even if they can't figure it out for a while, we can do their ideological work. ”

"Come on, I can't persuade them." Meng Guoqiang laughed, "Little Wuzi, I find that your eloquence is getting better and better now!" ”

"Is there one?" Meng Songhai smiled, "I think my eloquence has always been very good. ”
