Chapter 30: Learning to Collect Antiques

"Brother Zhao, how much is this copper coin worth?" He humbly asked Zhao Shuqing for advice.

Zhao Shuqing saw that he was his own person, so he didn't hide it from him, and confessed: "Hehe, in fact, this Tongzhi Tongbao has a market price of at least 1.4 million!" That person was slaughtered by me for 700,000 just now, and he was as happy as a fool. ”

, worth 1.4 million?

Cheng Hao's eyes popped out.

This business made 700,000 yuan, which is also so cool!

Compared with this, the little money earned by helping people appreciate treasures is simply a drop in the bucket.

Cheng Hao reacted at this time, all this is a routine.

In fact, when the customer asked the price just now, Zhao Shuqing was already calculating him, deliberately telling him that the antique market industry was not good this year, and the price had fallen, and then then said that he could buy it for an extra 30,000 yuan, so that the customer thought that he had taken advantage of it and unknowingly fell into the trap.

Doing antique business, sure enough, the routine is very deep.

"Brother Zhao, I don't know anything about buying and selling antiques, can you teach me?" Cheng Hao hurriedly humbly asked Zhao Shuqing for advice, wanting to learn some knowledge from him.

Zhao Shuqing thought about it, Cheng Hao was a good seedling worth cultivating, and decided not to keep him anymore and teach him as an apprentice.

"First of all, the most important thing to do antique trading is to learn to take advantage of the information gap!"

What is poor faith? It means that you know the true price of the baby, but others don't, so you can use this to make the difference. ”

Cheng Hao nodded, this is very understandable, the young customer just now is a good example, Zhao Shuqing used this method to kill him.

Zhao Shuqing continued.

"But if you want to take advantage of the information gap, it means that you have to have more information than others, and you have to understand the changes in the antiques market better than others, which requires a lot of experience and hard work.

Take the Tongzhi Tongbao just now as an example, in fact, Tongzhi Tongbao is also divided into many types, including 'fold three', 'fold five', 'Xiaoping' and so on, each price is different.

For example, the price of the five ministries is 1.2 million, the price is 800,000, the sample money of Xiaoping's ministries is only worth 70,000, and Xiaoping's multi-bureau supervision of general products is only worth 200 yuan, and the price is very different! ”

Subsequently, Zhao Shuqing explained a lot of knowledge about copper coins, such as what is three or five, what is the sample money issued by the ministry and so on.

Zhao Shuqing kept talking to Cheng Hao for half an hour, and didn't stop until his mouth was dry: "I'll tell you about this today, anyway, I can't finish the knowledge of treasure appreciation in a few days and months, and I will teach you slowly when I have the opportunity in the future." ”

"Thank you, Boss Zhao." Cheng Hao bowed deeply to express his gratitude, this time it can be said that he has benefited a lot and learned a lot.

"Haha, I'm only a dozen years older than you, you can just call me Brother Zhao."

"Yes, Brother Zhao!"

Subsequently, Cheng Hao stayed and accompanied Zhao Shuqing to help Boss Wang look at the store.

When it was time to eat at noon, Zhao Shuqing called and ordered takeaway from a five-star restaurant, spent 5,000 yuan, and ordered more than a dozen dishes, which was regarded as a reward for himself.

Cheng Hao was stunned, it would cost 5,000 yuan for two people to have lunch, this is too extravagant, right?

In less than half an hour, the takeaway arrived, a van stopped at the door, and several waiters carried more than a dozen bags of takeout boxes and delivered them to the Tibetan Coin Pavilion.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Cheng Hao said with some distress.

"Brother Zhao, wouldn't it be a bit of a waste for the two of us to order so many dishes?"

Zhao Shuqing laughed: "It's only 5,000 yuan, what is this?" Just now I made 700,000 yuan in a single business! ”

Cheng Hao is right to think about it, anyway, he earned 700,000 yuan, and it is not too much to spend 5,000 yuan on a big meal to celebrate.

Zhao Shuqing lowered his voice and said with a sneer: "The point is, it doesn't cost us money, I use Lao Wang's bank card to pay the bill." ”

"Haha......" Cheng Hao snickered, no wonder he was not distressed at all, it turned out that it was Wang Chunlin's money.

"It is estimated that when Boss Wang comes back in a while, his angry eyes will be green."

"Hehe, that old guy, be the shopkeeper all day long, hand over the store to me, I don't pit him?"

There is a free meal, don't eat for nothing, Cheng Hao is not polite, and the two of them have a stormy meal, and eat more than a dozen dishes.

Cheng Hao's stomach was propped up, he wiped the oil on his mouth, and planned to go for a walk outside the store to digest and digest.

He said hello to Brother Zhao, and then walked out of the store.

The Coin Pavilion is in the depths of Yunjin Street, where there are some high-end shops, and customers are relatively scarce, but outside Yunjin Street, it is very lively and full of traffic.

On both sides of the street are a variety of shops, antique shops, treasure shops, jewellery shops, pawnshops, etc.

In the open space of the street, there are many vendors setting up stalls, and there are many customers who stop to watch.

The area outside Yunjin Street is the most lively place.

Cheng Hao had never seriously visited here, so he walked around to see if he could touch shit luck and find a treasure or something.

"This little brother, don't miss it when you pass by, come and take a look, the blue and white porcelain of the Ming Dynasty is a genuine treasure!"

A vendor with a black stubble on the side of the road grabbed Cheng Hao and asked him to buy blue and white porcelain.

Cheng Hao casually picked up a porcelain bowl, weighed it twice, and asked, "Boss, how much is this?" ”

The boss said with a smile: "Little brother has a good eye, this is the treasure of the town store here, the color glaze of the official kiln in Jingdezhen in the Ming Dynasty, 30,000 apiece, for the sake of you and me, I will sell you 20,000." ”

Cheng Hao put the porcelain bowl between his nose and sniffed:

"Ordinary porcelain bowls, inferior imitations, have no effect except for rice, and are of very low value."

It has no purpose other than serving rice, isn't this just an ordinary rice bowl?

The farmer's market wholesales is 2 yuan a piece, why do you sell me 20,000 yuan?

It's not like this, right?

"Little brother, do you want to buy it? I'll make it cheaper, and I'll give you 10,000 yuan. The boss was stunned when he saw Cheng Hao, thinking that he was a piece of fat and wanted to slaughter him.

Cheng Hao scolded: "Get out, I don't even want 1 yuan." ”

With that, he turned and left.

The boss shouted behind his back: "Little brother, don't go, I'll sell you 5,000!" ”

Cheng Hao didn't look back.

The boss shouted again: "2000! ”

He still didn't care.

"Little brother, don't go, 1000!"

“500!”

“20!”

Cheng Hao rolled his eyes, offered 20,000 yuan, and finally cut it to 20 yuan, which shows how deep the water is in the antique industry.

I'm afraid that none of the 10,000 antiques are real.

Cheng Hao wandered around the street for half an hour and smelled three or four hundred antiques, and sure enough, all of them were fakes without exception.

It seems that it is not easy to find a baby, it is not enough to have money, but it depends on luck.
