Chapter 253: Mingqi (2)
Xu Dong secretly took a closer look at the things on this stall, porcelain and the like, the breath emitted, there is nothing special, according to Xu Dong's experience, it can be seen that the porcelain is a high imitation, fake, basically not much value, put together a few pieces of bronze, but there is a trace of pale green breath, however, this breath is only a faint layer, not very strong, it should be a little old, at least, not a modern high imitation fake.
Seeing that Xu Dong was a little interested in bronzes, the old man smiled and said, "The two little brothers have good eyesight, these bronzes are really good things that have just been unearthed!" Since the little brother is eye-catching, I will give it to the two of you cheaper, how many pieces do you want? β
Xu Dong picked up a copper unicorn and looked at it carefully, this unicorn ornament, the pulp is heavy and old, the copper is delicate, the ornamentation is smooth and exquisite, the demeanor is realistic and lifelike, and the quality is still in the upper middle, looking at this, it is a little attractive.
Because the unicorn ornament is a feng shui thing, he is in the pawn business, and the antiques and antiques have been somewhat stained, just moved into a new home, Xu Dong really wants to invite a pair back, not to mention that it is expected to really be able to attract wealth and treasure, bless peace, but at least it should be in response to the customs of the Qilin town.
As for other objects, Xu Dong was also very interesting, but Xu Dong asked the price, and the old-fashioned reply's answer made Xu Dong and the fat man startled!
The words of the old-fashioned crawler are very affectionate: "The two little brothers, I really don't hide from each other, my unicorn is a real Republic of China product, and when the two little brothers meet me, it can be regarded as a fate, this single unicorn, if the two little brothers want it, give me 88,000!" β
"Eighty-eight? Isn't it, uncle, why is it so expensive? "Knowing that the old creeper called the moisture in this price at least many times more than its own value, the fat man couldn't refute it.
Xu Dong was stunned for a moment before he said: "Last night, I watched a master appraisal on TV and said that the price of bronze ware like this in the Republic of China is generally only about 3,000 yuan, uncle, your price of 80,000 ......"
Last night, Xu Dong took the Ruyi Qiankun bag and treasure clothes, tossed for a night, didn't watch any TV at all, and didn't know how much bronze like this could be worth, but with Xu Dong according to the "treasure" he saw, combined with some of his own experience, he gave a price of 3,000 yuan.
The old man didn't blush, and still said with a smile: "Little brother, what you said is bad, last month, we unearthed a copper lion, also from the Republic of China, people have a fixed price, 280,000, this unicorn, I still look at the two little brothers, otherwise, 100,000, I may not be willing to sell." β
The attitude of the old-fashioned crawler is almost to regard Xu Dong and the fat man as his grandsons, and they are extremely rich grandsons, selling a unicorn to two people, as long as 88,000 yuan, it is simply casual.
The fat man couldn't help but say: "Uncle, our family also runs a pawnshop, you fool us like this, hehe, it's because we are not in two grades, and we don't recognize things, right?" β
As soon as he heard that the two of them were running pawnshops at home, the old man looked stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Two little brothers, if you really want to buy it, give a price, if you are too idle to do it...... Hehe, I'll just make small talk with the two little brothers. β
There are not many items in Brother Niu's pawnshop, and besides, after a period of reconstruction, the shop will be much larger than now, and when there is nothing to put on the shelves, customers will have a lot less choices, and business will be much colder.
Therefore, Xu Dong really wants to take advantage of this gap to find something to buy back, so that he can enrich his store in the future, these bronzes, although they are not of great value, but after all, they are not counterfeits, if the price is right, Xu Dong really wants to buy a few pieces.
Seeing Xu Dong say this, the old creeper's eyes lit up: "Little brother, what do you mean, if the price is right, you can buy all of these, these?" β
Xu Dong smiled, nodded, the old crawler groaned slightly, stretched out his hand and took out the little horse he was sitting on, put it in front of Xu Dong and the fat man, and motioned for the two of them to sit down.
After Xu Dong sat down, he asked, "Little brother's house has a pawnshop, which one is it?" Can you tell me the treasure number and listen to it? β
The fat man was on the side, and said a little proudly: "Our shop, just behind this antique street, Brother Niu pawnshop, have you heard of it." β
"Brother Niu's pawnshop!" The old man obviously knew, nodded slightly, and then showed a trace of doubt on his face: "However, it is said that the shop offended someone, and let people directly pick up the shop, you ......"
Xu Dong smiled slightly: "Those are just gossip, in fact, the shop of Brother Niu's pawnshop is not wide, this, the old man should know, right, if it is just offended people, the shop was picked up, and the two families next door, how could they be affected, if they were really affected, how could they be silent, this is not a trivial matter." β
The old man smiled: "Sure enough, I was very suspicious at the beginning, and I directly picked up other people's shops, which is not a trivial matter!" So that's the case, oh, by the way, the two little brothers, it should be the people in Brother Niu, right? β
Xu Dong smiled and didn't answer, but the fat man straightened his chest and said, "Don't tell the old man, he is the current owner of Brother Niu's pawnshop, me, hehe...... It's his little buddy. β
The old creeper looked at Xu Dong and the fat man carefully, and there was a trace of loss in his eyes, and after a long time, he sighed and said: "Since the two little brothers are also fellow believers, my objects, hehe......"
The fat man continued: "Everyone understands people, uncle, you don't need to ask for these things all over the world, hehe, down-to-earth, how much does it cost?" β
The old man sighed again, frowned slightly and said: "I don't dare to hide the two of you, before, I was also the palm eye in a shop, alas, I fell to this point because...... Because in that shop, people framed me, and I was shot in the eye once, so that I not only cut off the road ahead, but also owed millions of usury, and God was fortunate to be taken care of by some old friends, and I did a little business on this street, barely ...... to survive."
"To tell the truth, these few pieces of bronze ware of the Republic of China that have no way out, according to the current market on the market, are indeed not worth much, and the little brother gives this price, which is also quite authentic, but these objects are placed by a friend and placed here by me, so I can help sell them, and I have promised him that they will not be lower than this price, well......"
Xu Dong smiled faintly and said: "Since the old man is so honest, I don't dare to embarrass the old man, otherwise, I want all these bronzes, the price is three thousand, and I will go according to the market, but I will give an additional five hundred for each piece, which is considered hard work for the old man......"
The words of this old-fashioned creeper also make it clear, these bronzes have no way to come, that is, they are ordinary, but with the current market, the price of each piece is indeed around 3,000 yuan, however, Xu Dong naturally can't think so, this old-fashioned creeper is to help people sell, that is, to extract a certain percentage of commissions from these objects.
Generally speaking, the higher the value of the item, the smaller the commission percentage, and vice versa, the commission is larger, of course, this is only for items within a certain range.
For example, if the consignment is an item worth millions of dollars, even if it is only a 10% percent, it is a commission of 100,000 yuan, but if the consignment is worth millions or thousands, once it is sold, the commission will be drawn according to the 10% share, which is hundreds of thousands of millions.
Like these things in the hands of the old creeper, but on the contrary, the lower the value, the less the commission can only be extracted, according to Xu Dong's estimate, the proportion of the old creeper extracting this commission should not be very high, after all, the whole item can only be worth about three thousand yuan.
Therefore, Xu Dongming said that each piece of bronze ware, the maximum increase can reach 500 pieces.
The old man was stunned, these items, if they meet a sheep, how much blood can be released, then needless to say, people are sheep, but in these years, everyone is a ghost, I am afraid that ten years may not be able to meet a sheep like that.
Everyone is a serious peer, then it is different, among peers, there is a market, basically are a clear real price of transactions, the price of each item on the market is 3,000, you want people 3,100 yuan, people may not be willing to give.
However, Xu Dong is different, the object is only given 3,000, which is in accordance with the market, but he takes out another 500 yuan, which is clearly said to be a commission directly to the old creeper.
If it is according to the previous agreement, a total of nine bronzes, even if all the old soil crawlers are sold, the commission they can get will not exceed 2,000 yuan, but according to Xu Dong's price, the old soil crawlers can get an additional 4,500 yuan of "hard money" at once.
Such a master is really something that an old-fashioned crawler has never encountered! How this can't make the old creeper overjoyed.
At that moment, the old man found a cardboard box, took out some old newspapers, and wrapped these bronzes one by one, and then put them into the cardboard box.
Xu Dong took the money to settle the account, and the old-fashioned crawler was still unsatisfied, and sold those pieces of porcelain to Xu Dong.
To tell the truth, these pieces of porcelain, all of which are modern imitations and fakes, their value is indeed not high, and the old creeper does not hide it, and directly said: "This plate, I buy eighteen, the price of the bottle is a little higher, fifty-five, this thin waist plum bottle, the purchase price is slightly higher, two hundred and one...... Thirteen pieces of porcelain, the purchase price is a total of nine hundred and sixty-five, if the little brother likes it, count it as nine hundred and fifty yuan, hehe...... After these shipments, I will go and restock. β
Xu Dong looked at these porcelain, pondered slightly, and felt that some people nowadays, in order to look elegant and very well-established in front of people, will also buy a few high-quality imitations and fakes that are not very valuable as a foil, so even if they are high-quality imitations and fakes, in the eyes of ordinary people, they are actually not worthless.
Worthless, that's specifically for people who do antique business, and for ordinary people, the value is definitely still there.
Since I plan to make the store bigger and stronger, of course, I have to prepare more high, medium and low-end items, so as to deal with customers with different needs.
Since this old crawler is still active in business and has a good attitude towards customers, Xu Dong naturally will not dislike it, and he will want it all at once.
However, when giving money, Xu Dong did not give nine hundred and five according to what the old man said, but gave a whole thousand, since the old man would rather suffer a loss of more than ten yuan in the purchase price, this "loss", Xu Dong naturally will not let the old man come to eat, dozens of yuan, for people like the old man and the old man, Xu Dong is not willing to be stingy to that Cheng dΓΉ.
