Chapter 19: Ghost Market Trading (Part I)
"The chips here are small, just put them in your pocket, and you don't have to worry about your wealth being exposed."
Ouyang Zhanjun has participated in the underground ghost market several times, and he is extremely impressive: "Sometimes it involves large transactions, if you don't bring enough chips, you can exchange them again, maybe someone has already taken the lead." ”
"Anyway, I just have a little cash left, let's exchange it for a million first." Qin Xuebing is not a wealthy man, he only has 1.5 million liquid funds on him.
"I don't have much cash, a million." Although Ye Zijing comes from a large family, she does not have her own industry like Ouyang Zhanjun, and the number of ways to get money is also very limited, usually red envelopes given by elders during the New Year's holidays, or she picks up leaks that she doesn't want to collect in the antique market, and then sells them.
Of course, if there is a large transaction, Ye Zijing can also mobilize the family's funds, just like the last time he was ready to buy the plum bottle of Ming Yongle's inner mansion, he used the family's funds, but he didn't spend them.
"I'm not ready to make a move, so I'm just following you around." Ye Qiong is not ready to make a move, any objects in the underground ghost market will be confiscated by the state tonight, and all the funds exchanged will be confiscated.
Of course, Ye Qiong is a business officer, even if she redeems it, the money will be returned, but why bother?
All chips are of the same style, like black coins, with values written in Chinese on one side and Arabic numerals on the other, giving a very rudimentary but intuitive feel.
Qin Xuebing asked for one half million, four hundred thousand, nine ten thousand, ten thousand, a total of twenty-four chips, of which one thousand yuan was the smallest value of the underground story, which was used as a basic unit.
"Let's disperse it, if you come across someone who is optimistic and unsure, call us." Ouyang Zhanjun strode away and came to the underground ghost market, everyone wanted to Taobao to pick up leaks, if several people got together and looked at the same object, it was inevitable that there would be contradictions.
"Ye Qiong, are you following me, or are you following Qin Xuebing?" Although Ye Zijing also wants to pick up the leaks, she regards this trip more as a fun experience, and she doesn't mind having someone by her side.
"I'd better follow Qin Xuebing." Ye Qiong was also going to remind Qin Xuebing not to buy the unearthed cultural relics for a while, so naturally he couldn't follow Ye Zijing.
"Then I'll go shopping first, and call me if there's something." Ye Zijing nodded and left.
"Let's go, let's go shopping and see how many good things are waiting for us." Qin Xuebing turned his head and was about to walk to the buildings of the outer villa, where there were gold masters, and it was easier to find good things.
"I think we're out there."
Ye Qiong hurriedly pulled Qin Xuebing back and said, "Do you have a channel for bleaching when you buy those unearthed objects?" ”
"Yes, the unearthed objects are really difficult to deal with."
Qin Xuebing paid attention to this problem at this time, and it was too risky to collect unearthed objects, so he could only sell them: "But it's not bad to sell it to Third Brother Ouyang, anyway, he doesn't lack channels." ”
"But then you won't make much profit."
Ye Qiong explained that in a place like the underground ghost market, most of the unearthed objects were found by the parties from the ground, even if they didn't know the roots, they knew that they were antiques, and they wouldn't sell too much. Qin Xuebing's acquisition and then change hands, it is impossible to sell it at the market price, and the profit is actually not big: "So, you might as well go outside directly, maybe you can pick up a big leak." ”
"Then let's get out and walk around now." Qin Xuebing also felt that it made sense, if he bought the unearthed objects, he couldn't buy much for a million, and then sold them to Ouyang Zhanjun at the price of the unearthed objects, so it was better to pin his hopes directly on picking up the leaks.
Qin Xuebing took Ye Qiong directly to a stall, and the stall owner greeted him very warmly: "Little brother, look at it casually, I have a lot of good things here." ”
"There are a lot of good things, but I can't afford them." Qin Xuebing left directly with Ye Qiong, but he smiled bitterly in his heart, as Ouyang Zhanjun said, the underground ghost market is mixed, and there are not good things everywhere.
"You're just going to take a look and leave?" Ye Qiong was a little confused, looking at the others, which one was not a stall to stay for a while, and after looking at it carefully, he would choose to make a move, or leave.
"You have to feel when you buy something, and you don't need to waste time if it doesn't feel right." Qin Xuebing shook his head with a smile, and his vitality did not have an induction, which means that the oldest thing on the stall is only from the Republic of China.
The Republic of China period is also antiques, and there are also genuine products, such as Master Qi Baishi, which is hard to find. However, Qin Xuebing didn't want to spend effort on antiques in the Republic of China, because the vitality could not be sensed, and could only be identified with a jade pen, and the vitality could only support three appraisals, Qin Xuebing didn't want to waste his vitality too early.
Walking to the next stall, Ye Qiong's eyes lit up, and she picked up a piece of jade pendant: "How about this?" Is it a Warring States jade pendant? ”
"It is indeed the style of the Warring States dragon-shaped jade pendant." Although Qin Xuebing has not learned much about appraisal recently, his knowledge of antiques has made great progress, especially the characteristics and prices of various antiques in various periods.
"Do you want to buy it?" Ye Qiong's organization often participates in the hunt for tomb robbers and antique dealers, and also has a certain understanding of this aspect, knowing that this is a fake.
But she hopes that Qin Xuebing will be blinded, at least one million, so that even if she is caught, she will be released quickly.
"Although the style is similar, the carving is much worse." Qin Xuebing shook his head, the dragon-shaped jade pendant was very representative in the Warring States Period, and its form was enough to represent the state of that era.
The Warring States period was the most chaotic and liberating era in history, and the power between the vassal states was born and destroyed, so that the ecology of the entire society was in turmoil, and a primitive vitality full of blood rushed to the wasteland.
It is precisely because of the background of the times at that time that the unique Warring States Dragon-shaped jade pendant was produced, with its winding dragon body and strong and powerful carved yang line, which officially represents this primitive vitality. It can be said that it is a life form with no fixed place, the oncoming time and future are unknown, people seek to survive in turmoil, and decide the winner in the struggle. Thinking is canceled because there is no relatively stable structure of thinking; Strength, movement, and the chance of winning or losing in the shadow of the sword and sword determine the fate of life.
"Looking at this dragon-shaped jade pendant again, its carving is mediocre and weak, and it does not show the social form at that time."
Qin Xuebing shook his head as he spoke: "There is also jade, which is too bad, and it does not match the identity of the dragon-shaped jade pendant at all." ”
The jade pendant is the decoration of people with status and status in the Warring States Period. The dragon-shaped jade pendant, which was once attached to the placket or waist of the nobles, may have experienced an elegant palace, or may have experienced a wild and bloody battlefield, in short, it is an item between the popular and the powerful, and its jade quality is certainly not bad, but this piece of Ye Qiong is a very cheap grocery on the market.
Ye Qiong put down the jade pendant stupidly, and muttered in her heart: "No wonder this guy can make a fortune, his eyesight is really good, but it's not easy to fool." ”
"Boss, how do you sell this thing?" Qin Xuebing casually picked up a snuff box from the stall, which was carved from agate and drew a picture of fish and shrimp.
"Little brother has good eyesight, this is a snuff box that opens the door to the clear, and the price is not expensive." The stall owner took a breath of Northeast accent and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of eight.
Qin Xuebing never thought that the other party was talking about eight thousand, but eighty thousand, so he shook his head and picked up a snuffbox from the stall: "What about this?" ”
This snuff bottle has a big difference, it should be regarded as a copper enamel flower picture snuff bottle, its picture decoration is natural and elegant, one side of the painted rose peony swaying, the color is beautiful; The other side is painted with heavenly bamboo, as well as longevity and peach ornaments that imply auspiciousness.
Qin Xuebing's lack of counteroffer made the stall owner's heart sudden, for fear that the price would be too high, so he directly scared Qin Xuebing away, so he showed mercy: "This is cheaper, 50,000." ”
Qin Xuebing still shook his head, and picked up a snuffbox from the stall again: "What about this?" ”
This is a completely different snuff bottle, which is made of coral stone, and the pattern on the surface is the natural texture of coral stone, which is very beautiful.
But for his behavior, the stall owner could only smile bitterly: "Brother, don't ask the price, just say how much you are willing to pay, right?" ”
Qin Xuebing stretched out three fingers: "Three thousand." ”
"I thought it was a young connoisseur somewhere." The stall owner was secretly amused, this snuff bottle is an out-and-out modern handicraft, only slightly old, and its cost is only 300 yuan.
"No, it's too low, at least 20,000." The stall owner immediately said that if Qin Xuebing only bid a thousand, then he would think that Qin Xuebing saw that this was a modern handicraft and made a direct deal.
But Qin Xuebing's bid of 3,000 was different, which meant that Qin Xuebing did not see through the mystery and regarded this snuffbox as an antique, and the stall owner naturally wanted to sell it at the price of an antique.
"Twenty thousand, that's too high." Qin Xuebing frowned and thought carefully.
"What is he doing here?" Ye Qiong also frowned, even if her eyesight was limited, she could see that the surface of this snuff box was flickering, and it was definitely a modern craft.
"It's not high, it's not high at all, this is open to the clear, it is likely to be in the Qianlong period, it is definitely worth the money."
Seeing Qin Xuebing's expression, the stall owner knew that Qin Xuebing was already moved, but he was still hesitating, so he added a fire and whispered: "Little brother, you may not know, this is found in the ground, so the price is relatively low, if you have the ability to get rid of the unearthed traces, the price will rise gradually, and 100,000 yuan will not be a problem." ”
"The point is that I don't have that ability, and I have to be afraid to go home with this object."
Qin Xuebing sighed: "Why don't you get rid of the unearthed traces, and I will buy it for 50,000 yuan?" ”
"I don't have that ability." The stall owner sneered, those traces were made by himself, how could he get rid of them again, and once he got rid of them, he would not get out of his original form.
"Yes, you don't have the ability to get rid of it, how can I have this ability."
Qin Xuebing sighed again: "It's too much of a loss for me to buy it back like this, or if you give me two more heads, brother, I will be more balanced in my heart." After speaking, Qin Xuebing pointed to the two snuff bottles he was holding just now.
