There are many factors that determine the price of an antique.

In addition to the most basic values such as art and cultural history, there is another factor, and that is the environmental factor of buying and selling. In general, when something is placed at auction, the price will be inflated, and it may even be doubled or multiplied.

But.

Such an inflated transaction price does not represent the normal circulating price in the market.

Take the enamel incense burner in Grandma Wang's hand as an example, the market circulation price may be around 300,000, but it may not be the case when it is placed at auction.

If you meet someone you like, the price may be chased to 1 million, but if you don't meet someone you like, the starting price is 500,000 or even lower, and the auction may fail.

Failing to sell means that you have to pay for some commissions in vain.

Not only did he not make any money, but on the contrary, he had to lose some of his money first.

Therefore, the price of incense burners of this quality, which is easy to circulate in the market, is relatively transparent, often around 300,000. Because, the general quality of the incense burner is more than 10 tens of thousands, this because it is enamel color, and there is a certain sense of design, so, a lot of points.

But.

In the purchase and sale of antiques, the seller generally pays the price first, and whether the other party understands it or not, the seller needs to bid first, which is a potential rule for antique trading.

"Grandma Wang, how much do you think is appropriate for this incense burner?"

Zhang Yi asked.

"This ...... I don't know much either! I don't know...... Is this worth 100,000 ...... If it's worth 100,000 yuan, my four children can get 20,000 and a half cents each. ”

Grandma Wang sighed and said.

This incense burner has now become a burden to her, a barrier between her and her children.

Of course, for this matter, Zhang Yi will not take advantage of others. After all, it is not so easy for Grandma Wang to be alone, so after listening to Grandma Wang.

Zhang Yi directly opened his mouth to quote.

"Grandma Wang, your incense burner is indeed very good. The market price is about 300,000 yuan, if you think you can, I will accept the 300,000 yuan incense burner. ”

Grandma Wang was stunned, she didn't know what to say.

After a moment's hesitation, she said.

"Xiao Yi, I'm an incense burner, I know it's worth a lot of money, but it's not gold, how can it be worth so much money?"

Zhang Yi smiled bitterly in his heart and said.

"Grandma Wang, actually, it doesn't have to be made of gold to be valuable!"

Grandma Wang didn't understand this and looked at He Cui.

He Cui also added.

"Aunt Wang, Xiao Yi specializes in this kind of antique business. He said it was worth 300,000, then it must be worth 300,000, you can rest assured! ”

"Alas...... Xiao He, I must rest assured that your child, in fact...... I'm afraid that Xiao Yi has a good heart and loses it! ”

Grandma Wang said.

Her eyes were full of gratitude.

"Grandma Wang, I won't lose it, I'll take this stove of yours, and I will make a small profit!"

"Really, that's good, that's good!"

At this time.

He Cui thought for a moment and added to the old lady.

"Aunt Wang, actually...... I don't know what to say or not. ”

"Xiao He, if you have anything to say, just say it, what should not be said, it's better to talk to you than to talk to my children."

Then, He Cui said.

"Aunt Wang, I think it's best for you to keep 200,000 of the 300,000 for yourself, and the remaining 100,000 for your children. Although it is said that raising children prevents old age, but if you don't have money in your hands, I am afraid that they will not take care of you. ”

He Cui has also seen the faces of the old lady's children, so she mentioned such a sentence.

In fact, the old lady herself knows it very well.

Her children, in turns, none of them really wanted to take care of her, they just stared at the stove and thought it was a baby.

Wait until this matter is settled.

Zhang Yiben said that he would go to the bank to make a transfer, and then come to get the stove. However, Grandma Wang also trusted Zhang Yi very much, and directly gave the stove to Zhang Yi.

It just so happened that Zhang Yi was waiting to go to Uncle Chen's place.

Therefore, Zhang Yi took the enamel incense burner with him, and after going to the bank to complete the transfer, Zhang Yi walked through the ancient street and went to Uncle Chen's shop.

Uncle Chen's shop has just opened.

Seeing Zhang Yi passing, he was also very happy, beckoned Zhang Yi, and sat in the store.

Come and sit down.

Zhang Yi took out the stove.

"Where did you get such a beautiful stove?"

"I just picked it up in the morning."

"Missed again?"

"It's not counting, I bought it from an old lady, Uncle Chen, the market price of this kind of stove is about 300,000, there should be it, right?"

Uncle Chen nodded directly, he still knows a lot about the incense burner. Because, he also has some research on incense.

"There must be 300,000, and if you circulate in the market in a condition like this, it should be between 30 and 400,000."

"Then let's do it, Uncle Chen, this incense burner is also in your shop. If anyone asks for it, it's almost as good as it gets. ”

For Zhang Yi, the main reason for buying this incense burner is to help Grandma Wang, and he is not ready to make money.

Grandma Wang is old, the children don't take good care of it, and they are stared at by their children with the money in their hands, to be honest, this situation is too sad.

After chatting about this, Zhang Yi said again.

"Uncle Chen, I'm here, I have something important to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

"In the next few days, I may have to go abroad, first to Ruili in southern Yunnan, and then to Myanmar."

Uncle Chen thought for a while, Ruili and Myanmar are both concentrated and mineral areas of jadeite rough, so he can guess what Zhang Yi is going to do.

"Xiao Yi, are you going to officially start?"

"Yes, Uncle Chen! The time has come! ”

"Okay, Xiao Yi, I'll leave the matter here in Los Angeles, don't worry about those antique shops, 30 million will definitely be taken down for you."

Zhang Yi nodded, in fact, he was not worried about these things.

"Uncle Chen, your mobile phone number, I gave it to my mother's escort. If there is any situation in the hospital, Uncle Chen, you can take care of it for me. ”

After all, this time it is a long trip, and it may take a few days.

So.

Zhang Yi is most worried about his mother He Cui.

Fortunately, her condition is now better.

"By the way, Xiao Yi, the name of the jewelry store you mentioned, or you can tell me directly, I'll ask Expert Peng to give you a word, and the decoration side can also be prepared in advance."

"Uncle Chen, the name of the store is Qianxun Jewelry."

Zhang Yi didn't hesitate and said it.

"That's a good name, it's good!"

As soon as Uncle Chen finished speaking, he realized a problem.

"Chihiro", isn't this the name of the girl with Zhang Yi?

Uncle Chen looked at Zhang Yi and was about to say something, but Zhang Yi opened his mouth first.

"Uncle Chen, help me keep it secret for the time being."
