"You want to buy Cao Xueqin's bookcase?" Lin Haitao was surprised, "Brother He, you really have Yaxing, I rarely see young people playing with old furniture." β
He Qing smiled: "I feel that this wooden box is a bit interesting, and I want to take it back to play with it." Brother Lin, how do you calculate the price of things? β
He Qing wanted to buy the pair of bookcases, not out of the consideration of making money, this is not a leak at all, the old boxes in the Qing Dynasty, Lin Haitao They know better than him, the price is transparent, and the number of stores that can sell it has been calculated in the morning, so it is basically impossible to make a profit from it.
And the reason why He Qing had this idea was because he was indeed infected by the strong "wishing power" condensed on the box, as if that thing was once his beloved thing, but now it was lost and regained, and he just wanted to treasure it and not lose it again.
It was an indescribable strong feeling, an inexplicable impetus to do so, and if he didn't, he would probably not be at peace.
"Brother He, okay." Lin Haitao replied generously, "If you really want it, I will give you the best price." Also, I'll have to talk to you first. In fact, this kind of bookbox antique market is not only this set, hehe, Cao Xueqin's bookcase is unique, unique! β
"I know." He Qing nodded, of course he understood what Lin Haitao meant, the other party was honest with him, tell him the truth, don't let him collect this thing in the name of Cao Xueqin, otherwise he will recognize it and think that the other party is not a friend enough.
In fact, He Qing is not on Cao Xueqin's face at all, this has nothing to do with the creator of "Dream of Red Mansions", he is replacing the unknown scholar who wanders all over the world.
"That's it, Brother He." Lin Haitao then said, "Since you like this pair of bookcases so much, then take the four thousand." The thing is well preserved and well-made, and it is a relatively good collection. You, the price tag is more than 6,000, and I will give you a 6% discount. What do you think? β
"Okay." He Qing nodded without hesitation and agreed, Lin Haitao was so sincere, where was he embarrassed to bargain, even if he cut it, it would not be much lower.
After finishing that, He Qing took out four thousand yuan from the bag he was carrying, handed it to Lin Haitao, and he took down the pair of old bookcases.
"Uncle Longβ"
Just finished the transaction, suddenly only heard Gu Qing's greeting, He Qing reacted at the first time, just now Gu Qing and Lin Haitao mentioned "Uncle Long" in front of him, knowing that the other party was an appraisal expert in the store, Gu Qing Tuolin Haitao invited to identify the master of the bird food jar is this person.
"Brother He, Uncle Long is back, I asked him to give you that bird food can." Lin Haitao greeted.
"Well, I'm tired." He Qing said happily.
With the affirmation of experts, the bird food jar in his hand will be very different, and its value may be doubled.
"Gu Qing, why do you have time to come to our store to play today? Isn't there anything good? Uncle Long, who had just walked in, asked with a smile on his face.
He Qing immediately paid attention to Uncle Long, and saw that it was a middle-aged man with slightly hair, with sparse hair, bright forehead, and a red face that looked very energetic.
"Uncle Long, this is Gu Qing's friend, he has something in his hand and wants to ask you for help." Lin Haitao accosted.
"Hello Uncle Long." He Qing greeted Uncle Long politely.
After all, the other party is a senior, Gu Qing and Lin Haitao both call him Uncle Long, and he also calls each other that.
"Hello." Uncle Long nodded, and said with a friendly smile, "If there is something to sit down." β
He called He Qing over and sat down, and soon He Qing took out the bird food jar and handed it to the other party for identification.
"Oh? What a beautiful blue and white bird food can! At first sight, Uncle Long's face changed slightly, he sighed, seeing that the other party had the meaning of his own porcelain, He Qing was secretly happy, it looked like Uncle Long's eyesight was excellent, and he recognized it at once, this is the official kiln porcelain in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty.
"Uncle Long, is the thing Xuande porcelain?" Lin Haitao asked curiously.
Uncle Long played with the bird food jar with his heart, and replied without raising his head: "It is estimated that yes, whether it is the type, or blue and white, or even the style, it is very consistent with the characteristics of porcelain in this period." Bird food jars have been there very early, and the heirloom varieties occasionally have relics of the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, and from the aspect of vessel shape, Jingdezhen fired the most abundant types in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, with bowl type, melon type, horizontal bamboo type, cylinder type, pot type, water bowl type, etc. One side of all kinds of bird food jars has a fixed ring system, and the bird food jars fired in subsequent generations mostly imitate the Xuande style. Therefore, the bird food jar in the Xuande period is the most famous, but most of the imitations seen in the market are imitations of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and the real thing is rare to see! Stuff is very open and no problem! Man, you're lucky to pick up something good, but unfortunately there's only one, you know, there was a pair, and this one is fastened together, and if you can find another pair, that's really amazing! β
He Qing shook his head and said, "I'll buy this one." Uncle Long, how is the current market of this kind of bird food can? β
The matter of cutting off the bird food jar was easily solved, and the next thing was to set the price, how much could be added on the basis of the 12,000 that the old man offered.
I only heard Uncle Long say: "I'm not sure about this, it's very difficult to know how much this thing is." If there is a pair that can be auctioned for a certain occasion, the price should be much higher. β
"There was a person who was willing to pay 12,000 before, Uncle Long, is this price appropriate, He Qing is still waiting to reply to the boss." Gu Qing, who was sitting quietly on the side, suddenly spoke.
"Twelve thousand?" Uncle Long said, "The actual price is about 20,000 yuan, if it can be auctioned, of course, the price is not easy to compare, and it is possible to sell a hundred and eighty thousand yuan, the key is to meet a collector you like." β
"Twenty thousand?!" Hearing this, He Qing was secretly happy, this was eight thousand more than the old man's bid, and two or three times higher than the original price, making a net profit of 14,000.
The auction is very difficult for He Qinglai to operate, he has no channels, and he has not yet known anyone in this area, if it is sent to the auction company, it will also be a troublesome matter, so it will not be considered for the time being.
"Man, I have a mention, can you?" Uncle Long smiled cutely.
"Uncle Long, you, I'll listen." He Qing said busily.
Uncle Long said: "That's right, I have a friend who also has a Xuande blue and white porcelain bird food jar on hand, which can just match with yours, and it can be sent to auction when the time comes, so that you can earn more, of course, provided that you are willing to transfer." β
"I do." He Qing replied without thinking, "Uncle Long, that's okay." How long will it take to sell at auction? β
If he can earn a little more, what he needs most now is money, in order to cure his brother's illness, the more this thing the better, and be prepared.
"Then I can't answer you, this one has a chance, but we have a way." Uncle Long said solemnly, "Otherwise, you give me this bird food can, and I will give you a deposit, and after the things are auctioned off, I will give you the rest of the funds, but you have to believe me." β
"Of course I believe you!" He Qing said decisively, with the character guarantee of Gu Qing and Lin Haitao, he only had trust in Uncle Long and did not question it.
"That's fine." Uncle Long said happily, "It's not a problem to shoot a pair of bird food cans for hundreds of thousands, right?" How about I pay you a deposit of 50,000 yuan? β
"Yes!" He Qing nodded heavily and agreed.
The things bought by 6,000 will get 50,000 yuan in the blink of an eye, and it is just a deposit!
This is simply unexpected!
