Chapter 27: Counterfeiting Experts (I)
"The young man has good eyesight! Brilliant! I didn't even see the doorway at first, old man, and regarded it as a thing of the Republic of China. Can you pick it out of so many...... Terrible! The old man gave a thumbs up.
"Hehe," Lin Qiufeng smiled and said modestly, "I also found it by chance." ”
"You have to have strength. If you don't have the strength, you can't see the opportunity in front of you. You two have seen each other this time, right? Especially you, who are arrogant day by day, now you know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world, right? The old man took Lin Qiufeng as an example to educate the two people around him.
"Yes, Old Qi, you're right." The middle-aged man nodded humbly.
The young man in his twenties was a little unconvinced, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously, just pouted slightly, and muttered, "It's just a coincidence that I haven't picked up a leak." ”
"Hey!" The old man sighed, didn't bother to say anything to him, and turned to Lin Yihang, "I'm an apprentice, I have some talents, but I'm too proud, I always want someone to fight him!" ”
Lin Qiufeng smiled slightly, and did not talk. If someone comes out and strikes him, it is estimated that he will not absorb the lesson, but will be jealous.
The shopkeeper took a cardboard box and packed it up, and then Lin Qiufeng carried it out in a bag.
In the middle of the Kangxi period, the black lacquer inlaid luodian flower butterfly pattern round box, because of the damaged condition, was repaired during the Republic of China, which affected the value, Lin Qiufeng estimated that if it was sold well, it could be sold for about 15,000.
Spending more than 1,000 yuan to buy something for more than 10,000 yuan can be regarded as picking up a small leak.
In one morning, he earned more than 10,000 yuan, which may be considered good for ordinary people. However, in Lin Qiufeng's view, he was far from being satisfied.
"Brother, I have two good things here, do you want them?" Just when Lin Qiufeng was disappointed, his sleeves were tugged, and he was a young man in his thirties, with a small flat head.
"Oh? What is it? Lin Qiufeng was stunned.
"If you're interested, just come and have a look."
Xiao Pingtou said, taking the lead in the front.
Lin Qiufeng just thought about it a little and followed. The artist is bold, and now he has many fighting skills, the most powerful grappling, and he has reached the D level, and he thinks that there is absolutely no problem in dealing with a few small thieves, even if the other party has any evil intentions, he is not afraid.
Xiao Pingtou was very cautious all the way, walked into a teahouse in the antique city, and sat down in a private room.
"Where's the stuff?" Lin Qiufeng sat opposite, already having some guesses.
The other party is so cautious, and moreover, it is not in the shop, but in the tea house, it is clear that their things are not coming from the right way. This is a common occurrence in the world of antiques. When Lin Qiufeng used to be a gentleman, he played with antiques for a while, and he knew about it.
Of course, in the past, Lin Qiufeng was just playing casually, appreciating knowledge or something, and there was absolutely nothing. Occasionally, when I buy real things, it costs several times the high price of others, and I pay the tuition.
"Hehe, don't worry!" The little flat head smiled.
It was about three or four minutes before a man with a mole on the corner of his mouth came in, carrying a blue bag.
Obviously, this is the other party's double measures, Xiao Pingtou led Lin Qiufeng in first, but in fact, there was nothing on him, and after the accomplice was sure that there was no risk, he took the things to follow up.
In this case, even if Lin Qiufeng is plainclothes, he can't do anything if he can't grasp the evidence.
This made Lin Qiufeng a little apprehensive while looking forward to it. After all, he doesn't have much money now, the original nearly 10,000 yuan, yesterday he paid a deposit of 3,000 for staying in a hotel, and just now he bought a lacquerware round box and spent more than 1,000, and now he only has more than 5,000 left.
If the other party really has something good, it is not easy to buy it for 5,000 yuan. I just hope that the other party has more things, so I can choose one!
Lin Qiufeng was making plans.
The man with a mole on the corner of his mouth had already placed his blue bag on the table and unzipped it with a "swish".
Immediately, there was an earthy smell. Obviously, the thing was just unearthed, and it should have been poured out of the bucket. For this, the other party has no intention of hiding it at all.
"You look at things first!" Said the man with a mole on the corner of his mouth.
"Hmm!" Lin Qiufeng nodded.
A total of seven things, Lin Qiufeng picked them up one by one and looked at them carefully, and quickly determined that one of them was a peony pattern plate with a blue and white mountain stone willow shade, and a folding fan from the early Qing Dynasty literati Zha Shibiao, these two things were real, and the other five were imitations.
The real is mixed with the fake, and then it is sold in one go, which is a very common method among antiquities dealers. Two of the seven things are true, and these two antiquities dealers are already relatively conscientious.
Lin Qiufeng smiled slightly, and pushed the thing back without moving.
"How's that, is there anything you like?" Xiao Pingtou asked.
"What price are you going to sell these things for?" Lin Qiufeng asked. The implication is obvious, since you ask the price, you must have intended to buy.
Xiao Pingtou's eyes immediately lit up, "These seven pieces, if you want them all, the packaging price will be given to you, this number." ”
The little flat head sticks out three fingers.
"Thirty thousand?" Lin Qiufeng asked.
When Xiao Pingtou and the two of them heard this, the heat on their faces immediately drooped.
Although Lin Qiufeng's family has fallen, he has been pampered since he was a child, and he naturally has a temperament, which should not be underestimated. Moreover, this time he came out, wearing the clothes he bought before the defeat of his family, and he was wearing brand goods, which was not cheap at first glance, so Xiao Pingtou and the two of them came to him, thinking that he was a rich master.
However, the price quoted by Lin Qiufeng disappointed them to the extreme.
"Friend, you say that, but it's too insincere, isn't it? If we sell these things at the market price, we can't take them for more than 1.5 million, because it's inconvenient for us to sell, so we want you 300,000, which is interesting enough, and if you open your mouth for 30,000, this is insincere! ”
"I don't think he knows how to do it at all, let's go!"
Xiao Pingtou and Black Mole Face sang and harmonized, and Black Mole Face stood up, picked up his bag and was about to leave. Seeing that Lin Qiufeng was just smiling slightly, he didn't react, and he didn't stop it, Xiao Pingtou reached out to stop the black mole face, looked at Lin Qiufeng and said:
"Friend, our things are in a hurry, if you really want to, just make a sincere price, and we will give it to you. The brothers are waiting for the money! ”
Lin Qiufeng reached out at this time, unzipped the blue bag, took out the plate and folding fan, and pushed the others back.
"The 30,000 I just said is too much. I only need these two things, a total of 10,000 yuan, how about it? Lin Qiufeng tapped his finger on the plate.
"Ten thousand? Brother, you're too hard at the bargain, aren't you? We asked for 300,000 yuan for seven pieces, and if we didn't see it, it was more than 40,000, and you only gave 10,000 for these two pieces...... That's a lot! Xiao Pingtou had a bitter face.
Lin Qiufeng bargained, so they saw their sincerity, so they were not in a hurry to leave.
"Moreover, both of these things are from the early Qing Dynasty. This blue and white mountain stone willow shade peony pattern plate, if you meet someone you like, it is not a big problem to sell it for seventy or eighty thousand. This folding fan is a standard thing. Zha Shi Biao! It is very common for his paintings to be auctioned for millions, and the size of the folding fan is small, according to the rules of our industry, less than one foot is counted as one foot...... Hehe, if you don't have a hundred thousand, can you take it? I want you to ask for a total of 100,000, which is not much at all! Xiao Pingtou explained.
"Isn't it much?" Lin Qiufeng smiled faintly, "Even according to the normal transaction you said, this blue and white mountain stone willow shade peony pattern plate is not worth seventy or eighty thousand, and the general auction price, forty thousand is quite ideal; I admit that the things that are marked by the Chariser are valuable, and the price points are very high. However, this folding fan is obviously just a casual work of Zashi Biao, and it does not represent his level. Moreover, the fan bone is not the original and should be replaced. This is not the biggest problem, the biggest problem is that there is a damage to the fan surface, although the damage is not big, it also affects the quality, and after the discount, it is up to 50,000 or 60,000 ...... These two things add up to only 100,000. ”
Lin Qiufeng said clearly. Trading, bargaining, is not arbitrary, people want 1 million, you cut it off on the head, cut 100,000, there is no basis...... In that case, you can't buy and sell. Only if it is reasonable, convincing, and gives the other party enough profit margins, then the transaction can be successful.
Now, Lin Qiufeng has undoubtedly done a very good job in all aspects. Especially the analysis of these two cultural relics, the head is the way, and people can't find fault.
After Lin Qiufeng paused, he continued:
"It's just a normal trading situation. Now, you are not coming from the right way, and if I buy it, I will have to take a lot of risks, so it is not too much to give you 10,000 yuan. In this way, I will let it go again, a fixed price, fifteen thousand, this is my bottom line. ”
Lin Qiufeng's tone was resolute, without the slightest tone of negotiation. Then, look at the little flat head and black mole face and wait for them to make a decision.
Fifteen thousand, this is the reserve price that Lin Qiufeng can accept, and it is also the amount of money he can estimate that he can raise immediately. He has 5,000 on him, and the black lacquer inlaid luodian butterfly pattern round box, worth 15,000, if you are in a hurry, this is an antique city, there are antique shops everywhere, and it should be no problem to sell it for 10,000 yuan.
In this case, fifteen thousand is also the most money he can come up with. Higher...... Even if Lin Qiufeng could accept it, there was no way.
"Hey! You've got it all said about it, what else can we say? Fifteen thousand is fifteen thousand. But don't you look at these things? Xiao Pingtou thought for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement. I also want to sell the remaining five.
"I don't want any of these three hundred." Lin Qiufeng pushed the fake things back.
