Chapter 318: Treasure

Because Lao Wu talked about the details of the previous middle-aged man, this time, Zhang Guonian, Zhang Jiye, Zhang Hua and others are quietly observing this person according to the details that Lao Wu said.

This middle-aged man is also in a suit and leather shoes, but the cuffs and collar of his shirt, including all parts of his body, are clean, without the slightest stain and dirt, and his face is also clean, without a little stubble, and his appearance is still very clean and neat, which is not at all like the downheedness of the middle-aged man before.

However, this slightly chubby middle-aged man has a pair of eyebrows wrinkled, obviously there is something unpleasant, think about the behavior in front of him, it is estimated that he has also encountered a problem and needs money.

Zhang Can looked through the middle-aged man's travel bag again, and under the perspective of black and white eyes, he couldn't help but smile again.

The middle-aged man opened the travel bag and took out two small wooden boxes about a foot in size, the wooden boxes looked a little old, the paint, style, and locks, etc., all looked quaint, but the locks on the locks were very modern products.

After taking out the two wooden boxes and placing them on the table, the middle-aged man took out two more keys and opened the two wooden boxes again.

The wooden box was wrapped in red silk cloth, and the middle-aged man opened one of them and carefully uncovered the red silk cloth, revealing a bottle, whose style and color were similar to the Yuan Qinghua that the middle-aged man had brought before.

The man opened the red silk cloth of the second item, and inside was a stone carving, the stone was white, like jade and not jade, shaped like a dragon, but it was actually a snake, the snake body was winding, the snake mouth was upward, and the snake mouth was holding a bead, because the snake's mouth was bigger than the body, and the beads in the snake's mouth were the size of eggs, and half of the position was outside the snake's mouth, and its color was not much different from the color of the snake's body. The level of craftsmanship has indeed reached the point of perfection!

The stone of this snake carving, Zhang Can is derived, it is a verdant with a very poor texture, and there are impurities in its stone, which looks blue and gray, but it will be carved this snake, but it fits its color, like scale armor.

If it weren't for the carving was too good, the snake would not be worth much, but the carving was so good, and the color containing impurities was ingenious, so that the snake was vivid, and it was very charming.

Lao Wu looked at these two items, immediately took a magnifying glass, and cautiously looked at the blue and white porcelain vase, with a somewhat solemn expression.

This blue and white vase, Lao Wu almost looked at it for at least ten minutes, and sighed for a long time, and then looked at the serpentine stone carving, which was a little more casual when he saw this, and it was over in two minutes, and then stared at the slightly chubby middle-aged man and asked, "Sir, how much are you going to sell these two items?" ”

When Lao Wu asked, the tone and expression were similar to the previous time, very bland, in fact, only Zhang Can knew that Lao Wu was actually a little nervous!

The middle-aged man frowned, looked at Lao Wu, hesitated for a moment and said: "I also make it clear, I am a business, because of the financial crisis, my company's funds are tight, I need cash flow, the current policy is very small support for our private small and medium-sized enterprises, almost no loans, what I want now is urgent money, what relationship has been found, there is no way, I can only think of another way, so I want to sell a few pieces of the collection left by my deceased father at home, in exchange for cash to turn over emergency." ”

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man pondered for a while before adding: "Why are you looking for a store like you that has not yet opened, in fact, I can also make it clear, you all know, what to do now, that is very afraid of rumors, my company's funds are a little tight, but it has not yet reached the point of extreme danger, if I take these things to the auction company to auction, maybe it will be passed out, for others to see, as soon as it spreads, it is not good that my company is about to go out of business, which will lead to people's hearts, A good company may speed up to a dangerous situation, so I'm looking for a store like yours, and I want to do it quietly! ”

Lao Wu immediately understood, and immediately nodded with a smile: "Please rest assured about this, we will definitely keep it secret from you, this is our duty, as long as you think it is appropriate, hehe...... Now please tell us what you think, how much money do you want to change hands? ”

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, and then said: "Blue and white porcelain, I want 10 million yuan, that spirit snake play bead, I want 2 million yuan, you take a good look, if you think it's acceptable, we'll trade, if you can't accept it, I'll talk about it elsewhere!" ”

Ten million!

This price immediately scared Zhang Guonian and others, just now the middle-aged man asked for five million, but it turned out to be a fake fake, just trying to cheat money, it seems that this one may still be about the same, most of them are fake things of liars, but his appetite is also too big, he will ask for 10 million when he opens his mouth, and another snake with a better carving will cost 2 million, and this money will become paper?

I'm afraid that no matter how rich a person is, it won't be such a flower!

Of course, Zhang Guonian, Zhang Jiye, and Zhang Hua's thoughts are very different from each other for Zhang Can and Lao Wu.

Lao Wu touched his chin and groaned, and then glanced at Zhang Can, Zhang Can left only a few million dollars in the store, to buy the two items of this middle-aged man, it must be not enough, besides, this middle-aged man has calculated exactly how much money he needs to turnover, this price, there should not be much difference, if he talks about the price, it is estimated that it is not much, this matter, you have to see what Zhang Can means.

Zhang Can looked at Lao Wu's inquiring expression, and immediately said with a smile: "Lao Wu, you are the manager, right?" Hehehe, the problem of technology and price in this store, it must all depend on you, you can do whatever you say, we all support you unconditionally! ”

Zhang Can's words were very indifferent, but his tone made Lao Wu feel certain, Zhang Can made him reassured, as long as he saw it, then he had the final say, money is not a problem, Zhang Can has said it, he has more than a billion in his hands.

In front of this middle-aged man, Lao Wu naturally would not tell him the advantages and advantages of his two things, which would not be conducive to him to bargain.

These two things, blue and white porcelain, Lao Wu is determined to be true, and it is the real Yuanguan kiln blue and white porcelain, the real value in the international market, should reach more than 15 million, 10 million selling price, it is indeed not outrageous, because such a secret sale in private will save a lot of commission from the auction company, of course, it depends on whether he wants to sell privately, or go through formal channels, go through normal procedures, then need to pay a tax.

If the auction is conducted in the auction company, there will be a commission ranging from 5% to 20%, as for determining how much, it depends on the agreement between the seller and the auction house, some auction houses will have a private agreement, that is, they come to do the pre-advertising, after the auction, it depends on what the final price of the auction is, if it is too much more than the seller's expected price, the more the auction house will draw.

For example, if an antique worth only one million is auctioned by the auction house for a sky-high price of 20 million, the auction house will extract more than 20% of the commission, which is actually a win-win situation, the seller also earns, the auction house also earns, and the only one who suffers is the buyer.

The meaning of this middle-aged man, Lao Wu understands very well, the price of 10 million is neither high nor low, basically saying that he did not suffer any loss, and if he sells it at the auction house, it may be fifteen million, or it may be a higher price, but after deducting commissions, taxes and other expenses, there will be about several million, so the profit will not be too big, between two or three million.

But two or three million, for their newly opened storefront, this profit is actually a lot of money, in the antique street, many small and medium-sized stores, a year's profit, almost only like this, the current business, fakes are rampant, fakes are overwhelming, there are not a few genuine products to take out, so now, the vast majority of the profits are basically by selling some small pieces to make profits, especially jade jade pieces, such transactions, usually make more profits will be tens of thousands, But the vast majority range from a few hundred to a few thousand.

To be honest, Lao Wu thought that Zhang Can's store had not yet opened, and it was indeed good luck to have such a gift delivered to the door, as for whether he could take it or not, it was still unknown, but as long as the price was not outrageous and could satisfy his middle-aged man, it was estimated that he would be able to take it.

Lao Wu really wants to win this business, first cut the price, can cut it, if it can't be cut, 10 million, he still wants, but the other piece, the dragon carved jade, is not very wanted, although the carving is good, but the jade quality is really not much, and the asking price is too high, two million, has far exceeded its own price, the current jade object, can be two million price, that is at least a clear water above the ground, and there are very few impurities, plus the carving.

Of course, that's just the selling price, jadeite, the current premium is too high, in the antique store, or in the gold store to sell, the asking price and the actual price, generally speaking, less is one or two times, more is more than ten times the difference, the asking price is two million, if it is good, the original price can be worth one million, if it is not good, it may only be worth one hundred and twenty thousand, that is to say, the profit earned by the store is at least more than double the principal!
