Chapter 80: Ancient Jade Is Not as Good as New Jade
"Little brother, what do you think?"
However, the shopkeeper did not have the same vision as Wang Guan, or was dedicated to business, so he did not pay attention to the change in Yu Feibai's expression, but instead introduced it diligently: "This white jade mountain is an authentic Hetian jade material, weighing more than two hundred grams. The so-called jade of Hetian, the work of Yangzhou. Look at this carving, it is also the ...... carefully carved by the authentic Yangzhou jade carving master"
"Stuff good."
Yu Feibai slowly put down the white jade shanzi and said casually: "It's a pity that it's new, I thought it was ancient jade." â
The relationship is familiar, Wang Guan can naturally hear that Yu Feibai is perfunctory at will, and it is clear that he is not optimistic about this thing. However, the shopkeeper doesn't know, and he definitely won't give up easily.
"Little brother, what you said is not right Chapter 80 Ancient Jade is not as good as New Jade."
At that moment, the shopkeeper looked at heart and said seriously: "Most people think that the new jade is not as good as the ancient jade. But I can tell you the truth, this is a false idea. Do you know that in recent years, not only my antique shop, but the entire jade market, ancient jade cannot be sold for new jade. â
"Well, that's weird."
It was vaguely recognized that the shopkeeper was telling the truth, which made Wang Guan a little surprised, and asked curiously, "What is the reason for this?" â
Someone answered the conversation, just like someone who said cross talk, and the shopkeeper naturally continued happily: "Although I don't want to expose my own shortcomings, this is also a fact, and I am not afraid that the two of you will know." In these days, everyone knows that fakes are rampant. Even those of us who open a store dare not guarantee that the ancient jade in the store can be 100% genuine. â
"The amount of ancient jade is very small, so it is cherished by collectors, and it is not sold to the outside world, coupled with the flood of fakes, many people dare not play. In addition, according to the current laws and regulations of the country, things such as ancient jade and bronzes are all unearthed cultural relics and are not allowed to be auctioned publicly. â
The shopkeeper said eloquently: "You see in my shop, it's not that there is no ancient chapter 80 ancient jade that is not as good as new jade, but the quantity is very small. It's all something that has been passed down from some people's ancestors, or returned from overseas. Therefore, the ancient jade transaction is still mainly a small range of private transactions, which is naturally not as good as the large number of new jade. â
"Besides, the real ancient jade, due to the limitations of the times, the quality of the jade is not good and incomplete. Even if it is jade in the Ming and Qing dynasties, many of them are poor in material and work, and it is rare to have a treasure with complete quality and good jade quality. However, the price of rare ancient jade is often hundreds of thousands, millions, and ordinary people really can't afford it. â
The shopkeeper smiled: "But the new jade is different, there are relatively few fakes, and they are good work and good materials, and they are all made by national-level craftsmen and carefully carved." Whether it is the quality or the process, it is better than more than ninety percent of the ancient jade, and the price is affordable and reasonable, and it will definitely sell more. â
"Moreover, jade ore is also a non-renewable resource, and it will be mined every year, and there will always be a day when it will be cut off. If you buy the new jade back, you can not only enjoy it, but also have more room for appreciation. Even, it can be used as a family heirloom, passed down from generation to generation, and one day, it will become an old jade. â
I have to admit that the shopkeeper's words are very demagogic, if it was someone else, maybe he would really be persuaded and tempted to buy this white jade mountain back.
It's a pity that Wang Guan listened to it with relish and was not moved at all, as for Yu Feibai, he didn't know what the reason was, and he was even more lacking in interest, so he no longer looked at Bai Yushanzi.
Finding this situation, the shopkeeper was puzzled, and wondered very much, why did he try this trick before, but why is it not bright today?
On the contrary, Wang Guan was kind-hearted, and felt that the shopkeeper had bothered to increase his knowledge, and if he didn't buy anything, he seemed to be a little unhappy.
At that moment, Wang Guan opened his mouth and smiled: "Boss, the thing is very good." However, we are here to buy gifts for the elders, and he specified that he wants ancient jade, but there is really no way. Didn't you just say, "Is there ancient jade here, where is it?" â
"This ......" The shopkeeper was a little regretful, but the business still had to be done, leading the two to the Gu Yu counter.
Wang Guan took a look and found that what the shopkeeper said was true, compared to the dazzling array of jade in the store, there were only nearly 100 pieces of ancient jade placed on the counter, and the number was really small.
Moreover, the quality of these ancient jade artifacts is really not very good, either old, or damaged, and even some are covered with a layer of unsightly dust, dull and dull. With such a comparison, it is no wonder that many people would rather buy new jade than buy these ancient jade.
"Gu Yu will be bought back, and it will take several years to regain its luster." The shopkeeper obviously didn't give up yet, and continued to persuade: "The new jade is different, it already has a polished luster, and if it is plated for a few years, it will be more crystal clear." â
"The old man is good for this, there is no way." Wang Guan said casually perfunctorily, looking down at these ancient jades.
Among the nearly 100 pieces of ancient jade, most of them are gadgets, including bracelets, jade pendants, and ornaments, which are not large in size, and there are many damaged ones. After looking at it for a while, Wang Guan was barely among the many jade ancients, and one of the photos was still intact, a jade fish the size of a thumb, and he pointed at it casually and asked, "Boss, how can this jade fish be sold?" â
"This count......" The shopkeeper thought for a moment and held out three fingers.
In other words, why do people who sell things rarely quote directly, there are actually some small ways in this. After all, sometimes, the person who opens the store will meet some wealthy bosses, or someone thinks that the thing is good, and it is possible to quote a higher price than the owner expected.
For example, now the shopkeeper originally wanted to quote 30,000 yuan, but if Wang Guan couldn't guess it, he thought it was 300,000 yuan. Even if Wang Guan thinks that the price is too high, then the price is asking for the sky, and the money can be repaid on the ground, and it can be discussed slowly.
In fact, sticking out his fingers and not quoting the actual price is the bottom line of the shopkeeper's psychology to test the customer. At least, such a high price, cut all the way, the final transaction price, must exceed 30,000 yuan.
However, Wang Guan's experience is also rich, how could he be fooled like this. Seeing the shopkeeper stretching out three fingers, he simply pushed the boat down the river and smiled: "Boss, you are really kind." Well, it's 3,000 yuan. â
"Little brother, you're here to chill me."
As soon as the shopkeeper heard this, he understood that Wang Guan did not take the bait, so he also directly expressed his attitude, and showed the price: "I am talking about 30,000 yuan, this jade fish is ancient jade, and the quality is very good, and the workmanship is meticulous......"
"Come on, boss, don't open your eyes and talk nonsense."
At this time, Yu Feibai glanced at it, and pouted: "It's still meticulously worked, this thing only has the wheel gallery of the fish, and the scales are not even carved, if you can't see the head and tail of the fish clearly, who knows that this is a jade fish." And look at this color...... Oh, there is not even a Qin color, so it means that the age of this thing will definitely not be long, maybe it is from the Republic of China. â
