Chapter 4: Buying and Selling
Chapter 4: Buying and Selling
"You're going to have to see it, young man." Qian Zhengtai reminded that although this is a bit unruly, he also does not want customers to fall for others in his store.
"Boss Qian, Beibei beauty, don't worry, I have my own ideas." Qin Xuebing is very aware of the mystery of this inner plum vase, saying that it is genuine, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, saying that it is a fake, not really, to be precise, it is a remnant.
After the exploration of vitality, the plum bottle is divided into two parts, the bottle mouth is thin and thin, the bottle body is old, and after the vitality is exhausted, the jade pen also makes a judgment, the bottle mouth is only 94 years old, in the Republic of China; The history of the bottle is as long as 590 years, which is the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.
That is to say, the bottle body of this Neifu plum vase is real, and the bottle mouth was made during the Republic of China, so the Neifu plum vase is a remnant, and the value will be greatly discounted. However, Qin Xuebing believes that no matter how much it is discounted, its value is far more than 100,000, and it will not be less than 1 million.
"Young man, why don't you give 50,000." Grandma Liu didn't know the mystery in the plum bottle, and many connoisseurs said that it was only worth a few thousand yuan after reading it, so Qin Xuebing offered 100,000 yuan, and she felt embarrassed to take it, but she really needed 50,000 yuan to buy medicine for her wife.
Qin Xuebing suddenly felt that compared to the simplicity of the old lady, he seemed very despicable. But then again, there is a mystery in the plum bottle, and how many people can know before the mystery is revealed?
If Grandma Liu is desperate and sells a few thousand yuan, it will be a big loss: "Grandma Liu, antiques are worthless in the eyes of those who don't like them, and they are worth a thousand gold in the eyes of those who like them, 100,000 yuan is not expensive, do you want cash or bank transfer." ”
"Young man, you're a good person, transfer money." Grandma Liu's tears fell from her eyes, and with this money, she can buy good medicine for her wife, and her wife will not have to be so painful.
"Okay, let's go to the bank." Qin Xuebing put the plum bottle back in the carton and let Grandma Liu hold it, although he was embarrassed to let the old man take something, but the transaction was not completed, and it was not suitable for him to hold it.
"I thought this guy was very shrewd, but I didn't expect to be as stupid as a pig, and I was tricked by him." Qian Beibei's mood is a little complicated, on the one hand, she thinks that Qin Xuebing is very stupid, and on the other hand, she thinks that Qin Xuebing is very good, as Grandma Liu said, he is a good person, a stupid person.
"This lad is very good." Qian Zhengtai admires Qin Xuebing very much, he thinks that Qin Xuebing must have seen the cattiness of the plum bottle, and is willing to take out 100,000 yuan to help Grandma Liu, this kindness is quite rare.
"Grandma Liu, the three sons don't care about you, what are your plans in the future?" Qin Xuebing helped Grandma Liu and gossiped.
"What else can you plan, one day at a time, it's all fate." Grandma Liu sighed, raising children to prevent old age, but as a result, it is better not to have a son.
"Isn't your daughter very filial, you can live with your daughter."
"My daughter is someone else's family when she marries, so there is a reason to live with my daughter, and my daughter is not easy to ......" Grandma Liu opened the conversation again, her daughter married an honest husband, although she has a good character but no great ability, she can often come to see the elderly, and she is already very interested in making some money with the elderly.
In the past, although the money given by the daughter was not much, the old couple picked up some garbage and sold it, but they did not worry about starving to death. But recently, Grandma Liu's wife fell ill, and I heard from the doctor that it would cost almost 50,000 yuan for treatment, so I thought about selling the plum bottle in Neifu.
"This plum bottle is the hope of the old couple to cure and care for the elderly." Qin Xuebing sighed secretly, although picking up leaks in the antique market is a skill, but picking up the hope of the two old people's lives in their later years, he always feels heavy.
"Grandma Liu, do you have any old objects at home?" Qin Xuebing quickly made up his mind, turned around and sold the plum bottle in the inner house, and took the opportunity to collect antiques at the door to send a sum of money, so that the two old people could have a sum of alimony, and he could also make a fortune, striving to create a win-win situation.
Grandma Liu thought for a moment and said, "There are really old things, a small bag of copper coins left by my father-in-law, but they are all rusty and worthless." ”
"Grandma Liu, it's hard to say, no one picks up some copper coins if they are thrown away, but some copper coins can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars, why don't you give me the address, and I'll go to your house tomorrow to have a look?"
After going to the bank to transfer the account, Qin Xuebing sent Grandma Liu to the car again, and then returned to the Sifang Pavilion with the plum bottle of the Inner House: "Boss Qian, Beibei Beauty, we meet again." ”
"Yo, why did the good guy come back again?" Seeing Qin Xuebing, Qian Beibei was angry, obviously he had already advised him, but he was stupidly fooled.
"Of course I have to come back, otherwise who am I going to sell this Neifu plum vase to?" Qin Xuebing smiled and put the carton on the counter.
"No!" Qian Beibei snorted heavily, although this Neifu plum vase has first-class counterfeiting ability, but because the shape is too classic, if you collect it, it is not easy to make a move.
This is like receiving a "Yuan Qinghua Guiguzi Descending Mountain Jar", no matter how real it is, shoppers will not think that it is real, and can only be used as a handicraft transaction, or even sell.
"Bebeau, look at it again, maybe you'll like it."
Qin Xuebing knew that this beauty had a preconceived idea and thought that this was an imitation, and she had to change her impression of the Neifu plum bottle in order to reach a deal, so he took a cup from the Sifang Pavilion and covered it on the mouth of the Neifu plum bottle: "Don't look at the mouth of the bottle." ”
"That's right, if you don't look at the bottle, even a first-class ceramic expert will think it's genuine."
Qian Zhengtai said: "But it can't be fake, it can't be fake, as long as the bottle mouth is still there, it can't be a real thing." ”
"And what if you remove the finish of the bottle?" Qin Xuebing asked.
"Remove the bottle mouth, remove the bottle mouth...... Qian Zhengtai was stunned, if the bottle mouth is removed, it is undoubtedly a genuine product.
"You mean, this is a remnant of a missing bottle mouth, and the current bottle mouth was made during the Republic of China?"
Qian Beibei also reacted, but shook his head and denied: "Who would be so boring? Even if the Ming Yongle Neifu plum bottle is a remnant, it is also a treasure, and making a fake bottle mouth will damage the value of the plum bottle. ”
"Then you'll have to ask the person who made the bottle mouth."
"It's like the truth." Qian Beibei snorted again, not believing Qin Xuebing's conjecture.
"Whether it's done or not, just try it and find out."
Qian Zhengtai also wanted to verify it, so he hurriedly went to prepare the materials, and quickly brought a pot of hot strong tea, and poured some unknown liquid into the strong tea: "Young man, turn the plum bottle upside down, and insert the mouth of the bottle into the water." ”
Qin Xuebing did so, Qian Zhengtai and Qian Beibei's grandson both stared at the Neifu plum bottle extremely nervously, if it was fake, it was easy to say, but if it was true, it meant that they missed this big leak, and then they had to buy it back at a high price, asking the world, is there anything more miserable than this?
It can't be fake, it can't be fake, under the action of heat and special tea, the mouth of the plum bottle clicks and falls off automatically.
"It's true, it's eye-catching." Qian Zhengtai was extremely depressed, he had been playing antiques for decades, and his eyesight was not as good as that of a young man, which was really depressing
"Once, there was a real inner plum vase in front of me, but I didn't cherish it, and when I lost it, I regretted it, and the most painful thing in the world was nothing more than this."
Qian Beibei muttered Xing Ye's lines depressedly: "If God can give me a chance to do it again, I will say three words to that Neifu plum bottle, I love you." ”
Qin Xuebing said with a smile: "God has already given you a chance, let me send the Neifu plum bottle back." ”
Qian Beibei roared: "How can it be the same? Can you sell it for 100,000 dollars? ”
Qin Xuebing directly gave her a roll of the eyes, plus two words: "Dream." ”
Qian Zhengtai patted Qin Xuebing's shoulder and sighed: "Young man, you are really good, you can recognize the plum bottle after such a disguise." ”
"Boss Qian, you don't have to mind, I'm just lucky." Qin Xuebing knew that Qian Zhengtai was uncomfortable, and if it were him, he would not feel good in his heart, so he let go of such a big leak in vain.
"It is your ability to see this kind of disguise, and there are only five pieces of the Neifu plum vase left in the world, and it is also a merit for you to find one."
Qian Zhengtai also figured it out, and he could find the mystery, that was Qin Xuebing's ability, and he couldn't envy it, and Qin Xuebing didn't send the plum bottle back again, as long as it was properly hyped, he could also make a fortune: "Young man, if you want to sell this inner plum bottle, just make a price." ”
"Boss Qian, it's better for you to make a price, I don't know much about the price of porcelain." Qin Xuebing said.
Qian Zhengtai stretched out two fingers: "Two million, what do you think?" ”
"Boss Qian, four of the previous five Neifu plum vases were collected by the museum, and only one was left behind, and it was auctioned last year, if I remember correctly, the transaction price at that time was 8.2 million, right?" Qin Xuebing shook his head and said, the price of two million is indeed too low.
"You should know that the antique industry should pay attention to a complete surname, the difference is one cent, and the price difference is thousands of miles, not to mention that your Neifu plum vase is missing the entire bottle mouth, and two million is not low."
"Boss Qian, if it is a whole device, the transaction price of the Neifu plum bottle will not be less than 15 million, and the bottle mouth of the auction is also missing, which is a residual product."
"That's just one piece missing, yours is missing the entire bottle mouth." Qian Zhengtai did not give an inch.
"It's the whole bottle mouth missing, but the shape of the device has not been affected, and the price difference can't be as huge as six million." Qin Xuebing somewhat understands the rules of the antique industry, and if he wants to raise the price, he has to tell the reason, and he can't make something out of nothing.
It's also a great way to communicate and increase the understanding of antiques on both sides.
"Young man, don't forget, the Ming Yongle Neifu plum bottle is with a bottle cap, and the one on the top has a bottle cap, but yours doesn't." Qian Zhengtai looked proud, the bottle and the cap are a whole, and the lack of the cap is tantamount to missing another bottle mouth.
"Boss Qian is right, the lack of a bottle mouth and the lack of a bottle cap will damage the value of the Neifu plum bottle, but don't forget its survival."
Qin Xuebing laughed: "Although there are six pieces in the world, four of them are collected by museums, and only two pieces are circulated among the people, which is almost equivalent to a lonely weapon. ”
"Okay, I'll add another 500,000." Qian Zhengtai was speechless and could only take a step back.
"Three and a half million, less than this price, I will leave immediately."
"Boy, you're too dark."
"If I send it to auction, I don't think it will be lower than that."
"But the auction will take more than 12% of the handling fee, up to 3 million, and you will go if you don't sell it."
"You should have been so happy." Qin Xuebing laughed, with these three million, he can change his residence and create a better living environment for the old man, instead of the grandfather and grandson crowded into a small single room of less than thirty square meters like now.
"Beibei, take the contract to this kid and sign it, and transfer the money by the way." Qian Zhengtai was still a little depressed, he had the opportunity to buy it at a low price, why waste three million dollars.
"I thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect it, huh." Qian Beibei took out the contract with an unhappy face, and when he scolded Qin Xuebing for being stupid before, he also secretly praised this guy twice.
"Beibei beauty, I have 120,000 yuan all over my body, how much do you think I can buy it?"
Qin Xuebing corrected: "Moreover, if I don't buy it, how much do you think this plum vase can sell for?" If you die for thousands of yuan, then Grandma Liu will lose a lot. ”
Qian Beibei thinks about it, and in the circle of antiques, it is a skill to be able to pick up leaks, and Qin Xuebing is already very kind to be able to buy it for 100,000 yuan. However, based on the fact that he ran away, he still snorted unhappily: "Anyway, you're not a good person." ”
"Well, I'm not a good person." Qin Xuebing doesn't want to quarrel with beautiful women, if he wins, he has no energy, and if he loses, he is not eloquent, anyway, it is always men who suffer.
After clearing the money and goods, Qin Xuebing said again: "By the way, Beibei Beauty, can I buy back the black glazed rust pattern plum bottle from the Jincizhou kiln?" ”
"You are even willing to sell such a boutique as the Ming Yongle Neifu plum bottle, why do you go back in exchange for that thing?" Qian Beibei looked at him strangely.
"It was the first time I had picked up a leak, so I wanted to take it back and collect it." Qin Xuebing was a little reluctant when he sold it, but under the circumstances at that time, cash was obviously more important.
"Okay, 180,000." Qian Beibei said.
"One hundred and eighty thousand? Didn't you say before that the transaction price was 150,000? ”
"That's right, 150,000 is the normal transaction price, but this is the first time you have missed a work, it is very collectible, of course I have to sit on the ground and start the price." Qian Beibei giggled, finally found a chance to take revenge on this guy.
"You are ruthless, Annihilator!" Qin Xuebing depressedly transferred 180,000 yuan, and finally brought back his black reel bottle.
Before leaving, Qian Zhengtai said again: "Xiao Qin, you are also a person in the circle, I have a small antique exchange meeting here at three o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, are you interested in participating?" ”
"Of course, thank you, Boss Qian." Qin Xuebing knew very well that this was an opportunity, and it would be very beneficial to get to know more people in the circle, which would be very beneficial to the circle in the future.
"Then it's decided, remember to come on time, don't wait for the overtime." Qian Zhengtai said.
After Qin Xuebing left, Qian Beibei asked, "Grandpa, do we have an exchange meeting the day after tomorrow?" How did I not know? ”
"I'm going to sell the inner plum bottle the day after tomorrow."
Qian Zhengtai laughed hesitantly: "That kid picked up the leak in front of us, and deliberately ran back to anger our grandfather and grandson, and when we turn around, we will sell the Neifu plum bottle at a high price, and kill that kid to death, so that he can know that ginger is old and spicy." ”
"Grandpa, your vindictiveness is also strong." Qian Beibei couldn't help but laugh, feeling that his grandfather was like an old naughty boy, who was angry with others, and immediately wanted to get angry back.
But then again, this matter is really not authentic for Qin Xue. In the antique circle, if you pick up a leak in a certain store, you will generally not make a noise, otherwise it will be equivalent to someone selling it to you, but you say to your face that people's eyesight is not good, isn't that a slap in the face?
Although Qin Xuebing did not buy the plum bottle of the inner mansion in the Sifang Pavilion, it was also leaked in front of Qian Zhengtai's grandfather and grandson, and then taking it back to the Sifang Pavilion to sell it was tantamount to laughing at Qian Zhengtai's grandfather and grandson, which was a very unkind behavior, and it was good that Qian Zhengtai was not annoyed by this.
However, there is no way to do it, although Qin Xuebing often visits Panjiayuan, but after all, he has no actual trading experience, so he doesn't know the doorway at all.
"Second child, call the third and fourth children, I have already arrived at Lao Wang's donkey butcher shop, and I am about to order food." Qin Xuebing made a lot of money today, so he naturally wanted to put on a rich meal to give back to his brothers.
Qin Xuebing cherishes the brothers in the dormitory very much, they all know that Qin Xuebing's family is in difficulty, every time he goes out for dinner, he will always settle the bill early and not give him a chance to pay the bill.
How many such brothers can there be in their lives?
"Boss, are you still in the mood to eat? It's a big deal. ”
Xu Zhen was in a low mood, he didn't expect things to turn out like this, otherwise he would never have called Qin Xuebing to come to the school to support the boycott: "Ma Sanli is a fat man who is unconscious, and the doctor said that he may become a vegetative person." ”
"That's not very good, it's not pleasing to the eye to see the dead fat man earlier, it's better to die."
Qin Xuebing laughed, his own hands, naturally clear, Ma Sanli will wake up after two days in a coma: "Moreover, the more sick Ma Sanli is, the greater the responsibility of the canteen owner, and it is not us who are unlucky." ”
"Boss, it's good that things are so simple, the key is that Ma Sanli, a dead fat man, has a background, and now he is putting pressure on the school, saying that he wants to punish you severely."
Xu Zhenchang sighed: "I inquired with the head of the department just now, and some leaders insisted on expelling you, but there were also a few leaders who supported you, so they didn't pass." But the head of the department said that it is inevitable to stay on probation for half a year, and the head of the department should talk to you tomorrow. ”
"Damn, why?" Qin Xuebing is very angry, and probation is second only to expulsion from school, and it will be recorded in his personal file, Qin Xuebing doesn't want to have such a big stain on his file when he walks out of school.
"Boss, I think you should come back first, communicate with the head of the department and the old class, and see how you want to deal with this matter." Xu Zhen sighed again, taking advantage of the fact that this matter had not yet been announced, to see if there was any chance of recovery.
Otherwise, if Ma Fatzi wakes up and continues to be the director of the Political Department, he will definitely look for Qin Xuebing's stubble everywhere, and then he will not have to wait for the probation period to arrive, and he may kick Qin Xuebing out of the school gate of Beijing University.
ps: I've worked overtime today, I just came back, 5,000 words update, please support, thank you!
