The next morning, Mo Shaokun hastily ate something and then went straight to Baihai Road Commercial Street, he vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a large pawn shop here when he was in high school.
Anping in June has reached the hot time, the blazing sun tirelessly bakes the earth, even if the occasional wind blows, it is mixed with gusts of heat. Mo Shaokun walked around Baihai Road and easily found the pawnshop called Qinyuan.
This pawnshop occupies the first two floors of the entire Golden Horse Building, and the lobby on the first floor is extremely chic, whether it is the pool with all kinds of ornamental fish or the khaki circular sofas, all of which show the owner's taste, even in the eyes of he, the reborn man, does not feel outdated at all.
On the walls on either side of the hall hang rows of glass display cases plastered with photographs, all of which are pawn shop items that you can take away if you value something just by asking the staff to negotiate a price. Generally speaking, the selling price of these absolute items is lower than the market price, and many rich people like to go to the pawnshop Taobao shellfish in the future, one is cheap and the other is guaranteed, after all, the things that can enter here are identified to ensure the value.
"Hello sir." As soon as I entered the gate, a young girl greeted me.
Mo Shaokun grabbed the square wooden locket in his hand and said to the girl: "Hello, I have something to do." ”
"Haode, please come here." With a professional smile on her face, the young girl brought Mo Shaokun to the side of the sofa and said, "Please sit down first, please tell me what item you want to be, and I will help you find the corresponding master to identify." ”
"A piece of ancient jade."
"Haode, please wait."
After a while, a white-haired old man in a Tang costume followed the girl down from the second floor, the old man was kind and kind, and always had a peaceful smile on his face, and after sitting down opposite Mo Shaokun, he smiled and said: "Hello children, take out your things and let the old man see them." ”
Mo Shaokun nodded and handed the square wood locket to the old man.
"Huh?" The old man seemed to be a little surprised when he saw the small box, picked up the box and looked at it for a long time, touched and smelled, and finally nodded: "Well, on the haode rosewood and some years, the carving should be from the hands of a famous artist, and this box alone is worth 10,000 pieces." ”
Saying that, the old man opened the box and took out the ancient jade in it, Mo Shaokun was slightly nervous in his heart.
The old man looked at Gu Yu carefully, his face was sometimes surprised and sometimes regretful, and after about ten minutes, he sighed and said, "Boutique, really boutique." Young man, do you really want to be? ”
"Hmm." Mo Shaokun nodded, and hurriedly said, "But I will redeem it soon." ”
"Hehe, in that case, the old man will give you an estimate. This jade should be a thing of the Han Dynasty, the jade quality is good, the carving is delicate and exquisite, and the most rare thing is that the quality is intact. However, there are really a lot of Han jade on the market at present, and it is difficult to sell the starting price, even if this jade is one of the finest products, I estimate that it is at most 70,000 or 80,000, and then calculate the discount rate and this red sandalwood box, I can call the shots and give you 70,000. ”
"Seventy thousand?" Mo Shaokun frowned slightly, this price is much lower than his psychological price, originally according to his plan, at least a hundred thousand, right?
In fact, he does not know much about the antique market, the so-called prosperous antique troubled gold, in the early 90s, the domestic antique market just emerged, far less prosperous than later, even the country's largest antique market was gradually formed in 95 years, the price of antiques at this time is far less exaggerated than later.
"What? Too little? If you can bring your significant other with you, it's worth at least three times as much! ”
"This is the only one I have." Mo Shaokun smiled bitterly, and was just about to continue to speak to see if he could click on a beautiful female voice when he interjected.
"Old Xue, you haven't been in the hall for a long time." As he spoke, a stunningly beautiful woman in a black professional uniform walked over slowly.
"Xiao Qin is here, hehe, Xiao Zhao has something to do, I'll take a look on his behalf, I didn't expect to really run into a good object." The old man smiled at the woman, beckoned, and continued: "Come on, come on, you can come and see too." ”
"If you can enter the eyes of Xue Laofa, it must be a great treasure." The woman was slightly surprised, Xue Lao is the chief appraiser of the pawn shop, even if he looks at the whole country, he is a well-known figure in the industry, and what he can praise must not be wrong.
Taking the object handed over by Xue Lao with both hands, the woman couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she looked down, and after a while, she looked at Mo Shaokun with some doubt in her eyes and said, "Little brother, where did you get this thing?" ”
Penis? Mo Shaokun suddenly had an urge to die, although he was young on the outside, his actual age was almost forty, and now he was called his little brother by a girl in his twenties, which made him feel like he couldn't cry or laugh, and what was even more depressing was that this beauty didn't know that the little brother also represented another thing?
"It's my family's ancestral." Mo Shaokun said in a muffled voice.
"Oh?" The beauty raised her eyebrows and stared at Mo Shaokun for a long time, as if she was trying to distinguish whether his words were true or false.
"My name is Qin Qin, and I am the consultant of this pawn shop." The beauty stretched out her hand to Mo Shaokun.
Mo Shaokun hurriedly got up, handed out the dog grab, and shook it gently.
As Xue Lao said, this is indeed a rare good thing. If it's your family heirloom, why should you? Qin Qinhu asked suspiciously.
"Do I have to give a reason for coming to you as a thing?" Mo Shaokun said with some dissatisfaction, Qin Qin's eyes made him very unhappy, as if he was looking at a thief, did she think that she had stolen something and ran here to sell the stolen goods?
Qin Qin also seemed to realize something, and chuckled and said, "Little brother, don't get me wrong, I just asked casually." ”
After speaking, she looked at Xue Lao and asked, "Xue Lao, what is your estimate of this object?" ”
"Plus this box of 70,000, this is a very reasonable price, but this little brother doesn't seem to be satisfied."
"Advisor Qin, I can pawn the family heirlooms, I think you can guess that I am in urgent need of money, if possible, I hope you can give more."
"And how much do you want?" Qin Qin smiled lightly and looked at Mo Shaokun with some playfulness.
"One hundred and fifty thousand!"
Qin Qin and Xue Lao were both stunned, and after a long time, Xue Lao couldn't help but smile and said: "Little brother, the market price of your object plus this box is only 90,000 at most, if you give you 150,000 and you run away, who will we talk to?" ”
"I'm going to redeem something, it has a special meaning for me. If you don't feel at ease, you can send someone to go home with me, know where my house is, and still be afraid that I will run away? I don't even want my home for this money, do I? Mo Shaokun said.
"It's not in order." Xue Lao shook his head and smiled, but Qin Qin was silent while playing with Gu Yu.
After a long time, Qin Qin raised his head and said, "Xiao Wang, you take him to go through the formalities, and give him 150,000 yuan as he said." ”
Mo Shaokun was slightly stunned, and then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, he just had the attitude of giving it a try, but he didn't expect this beautiful consultant to be really easy to talk to.
After he followed the clerk to go through the formalities, Xue Lao looked at Qin Qin strangely and said, "Xiao Qin, I have always thought that you are a shrewd person, but I didn't expect you to be confused sometimes." ”
"Old Xue, it's not right for you to say that, the so-called daughter is hard to buy, I like this piece of jade very much, even if he turns around and really runs away, then I will just spend a high price to buy something I like."
