Chapter 67: You can't go home empty-handed
Li Xuanmo's house is about three or four miles away from the antique market, on the edge of the Tan River, which used to be a suburb. Over the years, with the continuous development of the city, it has now become an urban village. His house was a two-story house with a yard in front of it. It's just that the terrain is relatively low and belongs to the low-lying area.
When Yu Li flew there, Li Xuanmo hadn't come back yet, but the people who came to his house to see the goods came four people. Yu Lifei took a closer look and actually knew two of them. One is the owner of the Henggu Zhai where he bought a jade wrench last time, he remembers that Ren Jingtian seems to listen to him Lao Qi, and the other is Su Dahai who he saw in the antique market. It was the morning of the second day of arriving in Tanzhou City, and Li Xuanmo was one step ahead of Su Dahai to find the "Nanyue Old Manuscript", and Su Dahai was willing to buy the "Nanyue Old Manuscript" bought by Yu Lifei for 5,000.
As for the other two, they are very angry, one is a little fat, and there is always a smile on his face. The other one is neither tall nor short, but has a darker face. Everyone is here to load the goods, and this time is not suitable for friendship. Seeing Yu Lifei, he just nodded to Yu Lifei.
Although Yu Lifei didn't look particularly distinctive, Boss Qi and Su Dahai recognized him at a glance. If you don't have a good eyesight for an antique shop, how can you get mixed up?
"Come and see the goods?" Qi Yunsheng, that is, Boss Qi of Henggu Zhai, saw Yu Li flying over and said with a smile.
"Yes, I heard that the first-hand goods of straw sandals are out at home, so I also came to join in the fun." Yu Lifei modestly said that the people who can come here must be insiders in the Tanzhou antique industry, even if they don't buy goods, it is good to know a few people.
"What is your surname? We are Su Dahai, Trumpet True Source Pavilion. Su Dahai can be said to have a fresh memory of Li Fei, and that Song carving book is his eternal pain. How many such opportunities can a person have in his life? I'm afraid that if he waits another twenty years, he won't be able to wait for such an opportunity.
"Boy Yu Lifei, please take care of Boss Su in the future." Yu Lifei said lightly.
"Well said, well said." Su Dahai said sourly.
As he was talking, Li Xuanmo came back, riding a three-wheeled motorcycle, with a cab in front and a tarpaulin in the back. From the side slope, drive directly into the yard.
Before the car stopped, several people in the yard immediately rushed over. The reason why the business of straw shoes is good is not only because his goods come from the rural front line and the price is cheap, but also because Li Xuanmo's vision is not good. He likes to go fast and go fast, and the goods he collects can be out as long as there is a profit. Sometimes, even if he only makes a lot of gas money, he will give it out, so he has very little inventory at home.
Of course, straw sandals have been a shoveler for many years, and a long illness has become a good doctor, and he has been a shoveler for a long time, and he is often exposed to it in the antique market, and his eyesight is naturally better. But even so, it still can't be compared with the professionals. These people are waiting for him to come back at home, don't they just want to pick up the bargain?
Li Xuanmo goes out every day, which does not mean that there is a harvest every day. But since people came to the house and waited, they naturally received good things. Yu Lifei also walked to the side of the motorcycle compartment and saw several things on the car. And the things are not small, with the strong flashlight of Qi Yunsheng and others, Yu Lifei saw a few screens. There are also some jars and jars underneath, wrapped in newspapers. This carriage is modified, with thick sponge wrapped on all sides, and is a special vehicle for shovelers.
"Straw sandals, there's nothing good today." After Qi Yunsheng took a careful look in the carriage with a flashlight, he said with some disappointment that he was mainly dealing in jade, and maybe there was nothing to do with him today except for a stone statue.
"Boss Qi, don't always stare at the jade, look at this screen, this is a good thing, Zheng Banqiao's bamboo." Li Xuanmo said with a smile that there are rules for antique shops in the antique market, but here, there is no need to abide by those rules. Any thing, as long as someone takes a fancy to it, the one with the highest price gets it, which is a bit of an auction house.
The three words Zheng Banqiao alone already make people feel excited. But those present are all antique insiders, no matter how excited they are, their faces will not show it. In order to let everyone see clearly, Li Xuanmo simply moved the screen down and put it in the yard and placed it by the car.
Yu Lifei was secretly surprised, obviously the light in the house was better, why should he put it in the yard. Later, he realized that the practice of antique dealers, the seller's pursuit of light, is as dark as possible. The worse the light, the more unclear the buyer will see, and some flaws will naturally not be noticed. Some important antiques are usually traded at night. Later, some people who sold fake and new imitations also liked to play tricks like this. Therefore, insiders generally carry a strong flashlight and a magnifying glass.
Yu Lifei bought Boss Niu's antique shop today, so he stepped into the antique world. In fact, he can only be regarded as a layman so far. If it weren't for his ability to communicate with antiques, I am afraid he would not have dared to set foot in this industry at all.
Yu Lifei didn't bring a flashlight, and the flashlight didn't mean much to him. Seeing that others were not paying attention, he quietly held the screen with his hand. Immediately, a three-dimensional figure of this screen appeared in his mind. It should be said that this screen is not a calligraphy or painting, but an embroidery. Yu Lifei's understanding of embroidery is still the silk offering in the morning.
"How much?" Su Dahai was the first to speak, and there was no need to abide by the rules of the antique world to load the goods here. Everyone's starting point is the same, as long as it is something you like, the one with the highest price will get it. Of course, all buyers are automatically forming a tacit understanding, and they generally will not raise the price in front of Li Xuanmo. I would rather endure the pain and cut my love, but also try to protect my own interests. It's just that Yu Lifei didn't know what to say, after all, no one had ever introduced him to him.
"Ten thousand." Li Xuanmo said that he received this screen for 600 yuan, and the family almost split the screen into firewood and burned it at that time, but fortunately, he saw this thing in the firewood with his sharp eyes, so he didn't let this thing turn into ashes.
As soon as he heard Xuan Mo's offer, Su Dahai made eye contact with the others, although their eyes were intertwined for a short time, Yu Lifei still saw it. Su Dahai also glanced at Yu Lifei, but he had never dealt with Yu Lifei, and he didn't know if Yu Lifei understood the rules.
"Can you give way?" Su Dahai asked again, in fact, he was really not very interested in this screen, but since he spoke first, he naturally had to let him continue talking.
"Nine-and-a-half-thousand." Li Xuanmo insisted that his eyesight was indeed limited, and he didn't know much about embroidery. But he knew that this thing was good, it was completely Zheng Banqiao's bamboo style, with pictures and words. Elegant and beautiful, the fine batch thread and exquisite embroidery, although the stitch method is relatively simple, but the style of Zheng Banqiao's original work is vividly reflected.
"Straw sandals, I can't afford to buy anything you have here now. If this thing is put in the bazaar, it will be good if it can be sold for a thousand yuan. Su Dahai sighed and shook his head, everyone is an antique dealer, and they pay attention to buying and selling to make a profit. If it's for collectors, that's another story.
While they were negotiating, Yu Li flew into the carriage and got his hands on other things. There were still a few jars inside, but when he touched them, he found that there were no graphics in his mind at all. Yu Lifei was a little disappointed, although Li Xuanmo has a lot of things today, what is really valuable may be these four screens.
"Boss Yu, are you interested in this screen?" Li Xuanmo saw Yu Lifei looking at these screens carefully, and asked with a smile.
"There was interest, but the price was too expensive, and I didn't bring so much cash." Yu Lifei shook his head slightly.
"It's okay to transfer money, if you want it sincerely, I can do it less." Li Xuanmo said softly.
"How much?" Yu Lifei asked.
"Eight thousand, that's the lowest price." Li Xuanmo said softly.
"Five thousand, you can deliver it to my store now." Although Yu Lifei didn't know much about the shoveler industry, he knew that Li Xuanmo was definitely collected at the price of scrap.
"Boss Yu, I get up early and work in the dark, and I earn hard-earned money. If you take it back, without blowing the wind or rain, you will have several times the benefit when you change hands. I dare to guarantee that as long as this thing meets someone who knows the goods, it can be sold for at least 20,000 yuan. Li Xuanmo said.
"In this way, today I am the first time to come to you to load the goods, and I can't go home empty-handed, I will add another five hundred, five thousand five. If there were any more, I would have to go back. Yu Lifei is not interested in other things, and what can make him feel is this embroidered screen.
"Well, who let us hit it off." Li Xuanmo saw that Yu Lifei was very resolute, and without much hesitation, he agreed to it in one bite.
Yu Lifei felt that he hadn't come in vain, although he didn't know how much this thing could be worth, but it shouldn't be a problem to buy it back without losing money. Seeing that other people were still looking at the goods, Yu Lifei felt a little bored, and he picked up the ancient jade gong, wanting to sense if there were other antiques here.
Soon, Yu Lifei found that in Li Xuanmo's yard, there was really something that attracted him......
