Chapter Ninety-One: Yuanshi Street
On Saturday, Nancang City, the capital of Yunhu Province, Yuanshi Street.
Xu Yanfeng was walking around Yuanshi Street with Gao Lei, who was carrying a travel bag, at this time.
The reason why this street is called Yuanshi Street is said to be because there was a Mongolian prince who built a mansion on this street during the Yuan Dynasty. Later, after the reform and opening up, Nancang City restored the ancient appearance of this street, so it was renamed Yuanshi Street.
Nowadays, Yuanshi Street has developed into an antique street similar to Panjiayuan and Liulichang in Beijing, but the quantity and quality of antiques are far worse than those in Beijing.
However, Yuanshi Street was also popular for a period of time last year, and domestic tourists from all over the world came to Yuanshi Street to dig treasures, and the scale and daily sales of tourists have caught up with Panjiayuan in Beijing. However, the antiques they picked up were basically nothing of great value.
Yuanshi Street was able to attract so many people to dig for treasure last year, mainly because last year, in a CCTV treasure appreciation column, a middle-aged man who claimed to be from Yunhu Province took a blue and white vase to the stage for experts to appreciate the treasure. He said that this blue and white vase was taken from Yuanshi Street in Nancang City, and it cost him 3,500 yuan.
After several experts carefully appraised it on the stage, Zuihou concluded that this blue and white vase was Yuan blue and white, and if it was sold at auction, the starting price should be more than three million, and the final transaction price would never be less than seven million.
This middle-aged man was able to spend 3,500 yuan to buy Yuan Qinghua worth more than 7 million, which obviously shows that the Yuan Market Street in Nancang City can get real things.
So as soon as this show was broadcast, Yuanshi Street immediately became popular. This treasure appreciation program is simply a free advertisement for Yuanshi Street.
But a few months later, these guests who came thousands of miles to Yuan Market Street to dig treasures were all eye-catching. None of the things I bought back were worth anything.
Later, a few posts came out on the Internet, saying that the middle-aged man who took Yuan Qinghua on the treasure appreciation column at that time was actually found by the owners of several large-scale antique shops on Yuanshi Street, and the Yuan Qinghua was also borrowed by them from somewhere. The purpose is to take CCTV's programs and do free advertising for them.
The shops of those bosses are the largest and most complete in Yuanshi Street, and Yuanshi Street is on fire, so naturally their shops are also on fire.
The wishful thinking was very loud, and it was indeed popular for a few months, but as soon as these posts came out, they immediately returned to the past, and it was worse than before.
These things were all found by Xu Yanfeng on the Internet last night. After all, I'm going to come to Yuanshi Street to sell those things today, so I have to understand the market and the situation of Yuanshi Street, so as not to be deceived. Yesterday, in addition to finding out about Yuanshi Street on the Internet, he also found his more than 2,000 silver dollars, most of which were Yuan Datou, and some were Sun Xiaotou and sailboats.
"This shop mainly sells ancient coins, and the owner of the shop was also involved in the blue and white vase." Xu Yanfeng pointed to a shop with a large faΓ§ade and said.
"Then let's go in and take a look, the price is unfair, we can go again." Gao Lei said.
The two have already changed a few stores, but the prices are very low.
Xu Yanfeng nodded, looked up at the two-story antique shop, and walked in with Gao Lei.
The shop mainly sells ancient coins, but it also sells other things. Like porcelain, bronze, and jade products are sold, but they don't sell ancient books, calligraphy and paintings. Because these two things are mainly sold in the shop on the west side.
"Man, do you want to collect the coins of the Republic of China?" Gao Lei glanced at the young man who was dozing off at the counter.
"Collect, how many?" The guy yawned.
Gao Lei took out ten from his pocket, among which Yuan Datou, Sun Xiaotou and Sailing Boat each had a few.
The man took a look, then picked up a magnifying glass and began to look at it carefully, then took it in front of his mouth and blew it down and put it to his ear, then pinched the center of a silver dollar with two fingertips, and tapped it lightly with another silver dollar, and heard a smooth and soft sound. β¦,
The method of this guy identification is the same as that of the previous stores. After the appraisal, the guy said: "The big head is 350, the small head is 250, and the sailboat is 450, if you sell it, these ten will give you a total of 3,400 yuan." β
The price given by this store is slightly higher than that given by the previous ones, but it is still lower than some of the quotations that Xu Yanfeng checked from the Internet.
Gao Lei glanced at Xu Yanfeng after listening to the offer, he was already a little moved.
They don't understand these things, and they don't have time to find buyers all the time, and if they want to sell, they will have to suffer some losses in price.
Xu Yanfeng also thinks it's okay, but he still wants to increase the price a little more.
"We still have a lot more, can I meet your boss, I want to talk to him?" Xu Yanfeng said.
"How many more do you have?" The guy glanced at Xu Yanfeng.
The guy can have the final say within a price, and if the quantity is too small, there is no need to alarm the boss.
Xu Yanfeng laughed, and didn't say how much he had, but just picked up Gao Lei's back and shook it in the buddy's ear very hard.
When the guy heard the sound in the backpack, he was stunned for a moment, and then said, "A few people sit upstairs, I'll call the boss." β
Xu Yanfeng sat in a tea room upstairs for less than a minute when a fat man walked in.
"How many bosses want to sell silver dollars?" The fat man said with a smile on his face.
Xu Yanfeng nodded, and then handed the ten silver dollars just now to the fat man.
The fat man just glanced at it, and didn't look too closely, obviously he already knew from the buddy that these ten pieces were real.
"How many of you?" The fat man still asked with a smile.
Xu Yanfeng didn't say much, put the backpack on the table, and opened his mouth.
The fat man leaned in and gasped. This pack is never less than 2,000 pieces.
I just heard from the guy that these two people have a lot of goods, and the fat man thought it was only 1,200, but he didn't expect there to be so many.
"Mainly these three types of silver dollars are the majority, you give a real price, we will sell you, the price is not fair, we will find a buyer." After speaking, Xu Yanfeng and Gao Lei sat down again.
The fat man took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, lit it, took a deep breath, and sat down and said, "Where did you get so many silver dollars?" β
Xu Yanfeng just smiled and didn't answer.
The fat man also smiled and said, "Forget it, when I didn't ask." β
The two sides were silent for about ten seconds, and the fat man said, "That guy just said all the prices, and they are all the prices." However, there are so many goods for two people...... Well, let's make a friend, I'll give you a friendship price, as long as this package is all of these three, and the year is the same, the big head is 400, the small head is 300, and the sailboat is 500, I will accept all of yours. β
As soon as the words fell, Gao Lei's eyes lit up, if he could really sell for this kind of price, then this bag could be sold for at least 800,000. However, when Xu Yanfeng heard this, he picked up his backpack and said, "Is this still a friendship price?" Hehe...... Let's look for another buyer. β
After speaking, he pulled Gao Lei to leave.
"Brother, I've already given you the highest, after all, I also want to make money." The fat man said as he watched Xu Yanfeng continue to walk out, so he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Then I'll listen to you if you say a price." β
"The big head is 460, the small head is 370, the sailing ship is 545, if there are other years, we will talk about the price." Xu Yanfeng said lightly.
"Brother, this price is impossible, there is no such price anywhere." The fat man shook his head hurriedly, and with a slightly angry expression on his face, he felt that Xu Yanfeng was simply insincere in trading.
Xu Yanfeng smiled, stretched out his right hand and shook it with the fat man, and then said: "Forget it, the business is not benevolent, let's find a buyer again." After saying that, he went downstairs with his bag on his back.
Gao Lei hurriedly caught up and asked in a low voice: "Yanfeng, the fat man's price just now was very good, let's sell it." You want too much to sell. β
Xu Yanfeng smiled softly: "Don't look back, that fat man will tell us to go back." β
Xu Yanfeng's confident smile made Gao Lei stunned, if the fat man could still call Xu Yanfeng back at this price, unless the fat man went crazy.
However, when Xu Yanfeng and Gao Lei had just sold the door with one foot, the fat man really shouted at the stairs on the second floor: "Two ...... Wait...... Wait...... I'll take it all for the price you said. β
When Gao Lei heard this, he was completely stunned, this price will be charged, it's incredible.
Xu Yanfeng smiled, he completely spied on the fat man's psychology, and the price he offered was naturally acceptable to the fat man.
