Chapter 60 Reading more books is good

"Little Wuzi, can I learn jade carving?"

Seeing the process of jade carvers processing bracelets, Meng Guoqiang felt very interesting and moved the idea of learning jade carving.

"Yes!" Meng Songhai smiled and changed his tone, "However, you have to think clearly, learning jade carving is very hard." There is also the income of the jade carving master, but it is not as high as the income of you as an executive of the company in the future. ”

Listening to Meng Songhai's words, Meng Guoqiang suddenly retreated, and said with a sneer: "Forget it, my hands are not skillful enough, even if I am willing to learn, I can't become a skilled jade carver." ”

Meng Guoqiang said and pointed to the jade bracelet that was being polished in the hand of a jade carver and asked, "How much can this bracelet sell for after it is processed?" ”

Meng Songhai replied lightly: "It's hard to say, five hundred yuan is him, and two hundred yuan is also it." ”

"If you take it to Hong Kong and sell it in a big store, can you sell it for a thousand yuan?"

Meng Songhai nodded with a smile: "Definitely!" ”

"Are you so sure?" Meng Guoqiang was puzzled, "You haven't been to Hong Kong again." ”

"I haven't been to Hong Kong, but recently, I have met a lot of Hong Kong jadeite merchants, I have talked to them, and now the Hong Kong jadeite market, although they didn't say, but I can guess a rough idea. In fact, even if they don't say it, I can infer the selling price of jadeite jewelry in Hong Kong from the price they buy for jadeite wool. ”

"Two hundred, one thousand, the difference is too big."

"Two hundred is the wholesale price, one thousand is the retail price, and the price is one thousand, and if you put it in the store and sell it, you may not be able to sell it for a year. Renting a store and hiring employees all cost money, so to speak, in the process of retail, the cost is quite high. ”

At this time, Song Wencheng appeared in the jadeite processing factory.

Meng Songhai greeted him: "Brother Song, I haven't seen you for a few days, why haven't you come to sit down in the past few days, let's eat at my house tonight." ”

"I'll talk about the meal later, I'll find you something to talk about." Song Wencheng turned around and left.

Meng Songhai followed Song Wencheng to the door and asked curiously, "What's the matter?" ”

"That's right, my cousin-in-law's father died, their family is going to be separated, it's quite a big trouble, their family has some antiques, I want to ask you if you're interested."

Meng Songhai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said with a smile: "As long as the things are good and the price is right, I am interested." ”

"Then I'll take you to see it now."

"Far away?"

"It's not far, it's only four or five minutes to walk."

"Then I'll ask my second brother to accompany me." Meng Songhai looked at Meng Guoqiang in the house and shouted, "Second brother, come out and go out with me." ”

Meng Guoqiang walked out and asked, "Where to go?" ”

"Go look at the antiques."

After five or six minutes, Meng Songhai and Meng Guoqiang followed Song Wencheng to a family surnamed Wan.

After a few greetings, Song Wencheng directly stated the purpose of the trip: "These two are the bosses I brought to buy antiques, so take them out." ”

After a while, the table of the Eight Immortals in the living room was full of various objects.

A man in his fifties said, "If you want it, buy it all, 30,000 yuan." ”

Meng Songhai glanced at it a few times and asked lightly, "Can I take it in my hand and take a look?" ”

"Yes, be careful."

It took nearly half an hour for Meng Songhai to carefully look at all the things placed on the table of the Eight Immortals, although he had not used the "Wisdom Treasure Identification" to identify, but in his eyes, he was confident that he would spend 30,000 yuan to buy it, and he would not lose money, and it would not be difficult to sell it for 70,000 yuan when he got it to the capital and sold it.

Meng Songhai put the last jade bracelet on the table and asked, "I look at the furniture at home is quite good, do you sell it?" ”

A man in his thirties replied, "Sell it, as long as the price is right." ”

"Then I'll look at the furniture ......"

After looking at some of the furniture in this house, Meng Songhai pointed to a few pieces of furniture that he planned to buy.

"I want to buy these pieces of furniture, let's get a price."

The brothers looked at each other a few times, and the man in his fifties said, "If you tell me a real price, the price is right, and I will sell it to you." ”

"Two thousand."

"Two thousand is not enough." Said a man in his thirties.

"And how much do you say is appropriate?"

"Let's go out and talk about it."

After some discussion, in the end, Meng Songhai bought the furniture he liked at a price of 2,400 yuan, and at the same time, bought everything on the table of the Eight Immortals at a price of 30,000 yuan.

Before dark, the things Meng Songhai bought were shipped to his home in Ruili, and when the goods arrived, he paid 32,400 yuan.

Meng Songhai originally wanted to leave Song Wencheng at home for dinner, but Song Wencheng said that he had something to do and couldn't stay for dinner.

"Brother Song, wait a minute."

Meng Songhai entered the house and took out 3,000 yuan and handed it to Song Wencheng, saying, "Brother Song, you take it." ”

"What do you mean?" Song Wencheng was puzzled.

"To tell you the truth, I spent more than 30,000 yuan to buy these things, which is considered to be earned, and I can't buy them without your help. In the antique shop, there is a saying that the 3,000 yuan is a commission for you, and you will receive it, which is the rule. ”

"There's no such rule in Ruili." Song Wencheng waved his hand and refused, "You went to buy these things, you helped me, how can I ask for your commission." ”

"You're not a seller!" Meng Songhai smiled and stuffed the money into Song Wencheng's pocket, "Next time there is such a good thing, remember to look for me." ”

"This ......" Song Wencheng hesitated for a moment and said with a smile, "Then I'm welcome, if I know which family wants to sell antiques, I will definitely take you over to buy them." ”

After sending Song Wencheng away, Meng Guoyi asked in a low voice: "Little Wuzi, do you buy these things to make a profit?" ”

"I won't buy it if I don't make a profit." Meng Songhai said.

"Didn't you say that as long as you like antiques and the price is higher, you will buy them."

Meng Songhai smiled and pointed to the treasure on the table, and introduced: "Big brother, just this jade mountain, plus this plum bottle, no, just such a plum bottle, if you get it to the capital, it can be sold for 100,000 yuan." ”

"This plum bottle is so valuable?" Meng Guoyi picked up a glazed red plum vase, looked at it carefully, and looked at the bottom, but didn't see the bottom, and asked, "What dynasty?" ”

"Not surprisingly, it's from the Yuan Dynasty." Meng Songhai said, "The glaze red dragon pattern plum vase of the Yuan Dynasty is very valuable, and I estimate that it can be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars if it is brought to the auction house in Hong Kong." ”

"You said that this bottle is worth a lot, I believe, how did you know that this bottle can be sold for hundreds of thousands in Hong Kong?" Meng Guoyi asked curiously.

"Read more!" Meng Songhai smiled and explained, "When I was in Beijing, I went to the stalls, saw a few auction catalogues of Christie's and Sotheby's in Hong Kong, and read a few books, and I probably knew the prices of all kinds of antiques in Hong Kong. ”

"Oh!" Meng Guoyi suddenly smiled, "It seems that reading more books is still beneficial." ”

"I know that reading more books is beneficial, why haven't I seen you read, words and deeds are inconsistent!" Xu Qiuju, who brought the last pot of vegetables to the table, smiled and quipped, "Come over for dinner, the dishes are all cooked." ”

As soon as everyone sat down to eat, they didn't eat a few bites when the phone rang.
