Volume 1: The Candle Dragon of the South China Sea Chapter 3: The Universe in the Sleeve (2)
I was stunned when I saw it, how dare this person take it like this, you must know that this porcelain is fragile, and it may be damaged if it is placed in a brown paper bag, or even if it is placed in a wooden box full of foam, I looked at him and immediately felt that something was wrong with this.
Picked up this piece of porcelain from the table and looked at it carefully, first put it on his nose and smelled it, there is indeed a smell of the underground, to say that this old object has a story everywhere, but what is the specific story depends on who the original owner of the thing is, if you and I are ordinary people, it is not rare, if some emperors and generals are not ordinary.
Then I picked up this porcelain and looked at it, thinking that it was really the blessing of his ancestors, such a valuable thing was put in a brown paper bag, and there were bumps and bumps along the way, but the porcelain itself was not damaged.
By the light to see, the whole body is clean and thorough, the bottle is milky white, I see a good baby, the bottle under the drop is an official kiln, the heart is suddenly surprised, I carefully checked one side again to determine that this is the famous Song Dynasty Ru kiln.
When it comes to this porcelain, you may think that it is valuable like blue and white porcelain, painted porcelain, etc., but you are wrong. Compared with the Ru kiln of the Song Dynasty in front of me, the blue and white porcelain Tang Sancai was bought by a few collectors at most, but this Ru kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty can only be a treasure in the museum. This Ru kiln was originally in the Tang Dynasty, flourished in the Song Dynasty, since the fight against the gold to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty, there is no Ru kiln in the world, so this thing is priceless.
I looked at the stupid and stupid thick man in front of me, I couldn't think of him getting this thing from there, and I began to give him a price conservatively, but I didn't expect this guy to know some ways and shook his head and refused.
To say that the price I gave is not low, and when this thing is in hand, it will be as easy as making a cup of tea, and I really don't want to give up this big business, it seems that this time I really have to pay a lot of money.
The reason why some things are priceless, so it doesn't matter how much money you are willing to spend or how many votes you have, as long as you want this thing, those bosses don't all have to make a price with you, and they have to run to you.
"Then tell me what price you want, I don't understand it somewhat, and the prices I give are conservative prices." I asked.
"The price isn't an issue, but I have to ask for something."
Price isn't an issue? Then you fucking think the price is low, this is obviously looking for trouble.
"I want you to send this thing to Second Master Chen, but you can't tell anyone about it, you can only deliver it yourself."
After the man finished speaking, he took out a crumpled black and white photo from his pocket and put it on the table, I picked up the photo and saw that it was a group photo of eight people, among which sitting in the middle was my grandfather Chen Erye's appearance when he was young.
I want to return to what I want, but I have to inquire before I dare to accept it. Not to mention where this person knew my grandfather's name, I felt more and more that this matter was not as simple as I thought.
"May I ask who is Second Master Chen you are talking about?" I deliberately pretended not to know him, trying to test the details of this person again.
"Who else could it be?! Your grandfather, Second Master Chen. The man took a sip of his teacup and drank it, sweating profusely from his face.
I was stunned for a moment, my grandfather has been in the antique shop for decades, and he lives in a nursing home in his hometown all the year round, how can anyone come to him Besides, I don't know this person, and how did this person know my grandfather.
"Your friend Dawei said that Second Master Chen is your grandfather, so I came here to find you." The man seemed to see my confusion and said.
I was a little confused: "Dawei? That David? ”
"It's like a king... Wang wei. ”
"Damn, it's him!"
I just put my mind at ease, this kid is my high school classmates, after graduating from high school, I went to the south to work, and after I graduated from college, I yelled all day long to let me take some money to partner with him to do business, at that time I was also with a passion to do something with him, but less than a month this money was squandered by the two of us, and now there is no way to plant this antique shop, it is estimated that he is a little conscience, understand the Entu report.
"Then he also asked him to send this photo?" I looked at the man and asked.
"That's not it, Wang Wei is just an introduction, and the photos have nothing to do with him. Don't ask about the rest, it won't do you any good to know too much, and if you can't do this, then I won't sell this thing. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the man was about to put on his clothes and leave, and when I saw it, I quickly stopped him and gave him a cigarette.
If you think about it, there is nothing wrong with this person's words, there are indeed some things you should know in our business, but there are some things that you know too much and there is no benefit. But there was still a doubt in my heart, I picked up the photo on the table and looked at it carefully, it was really nothing unusual, and I thought that maybe it was a commemorative photo taken by my grandfather's old teammates, and I wanted to accept this Ru kiln very much, so I added some money to the man and finally won the deal.
When all this was done, I transferred the money to him from the Internet, and when I left, the two of them pressed their fingerprints and signed the receipt, I hugged him and said that if there is a next time, you will take care of my business in this store, and he also waved to me and said that next time I will invite you to drink.
If you want to say that this mountain man has such a temper, you have to be good to him, and he will be really good to you, but if you trick him and lie to him a few times, when he understands after a few times, he will dare to come to you with a knife.
To put it bluntly, the buying and selling in the shop is an underground place for cultural relics and antiques, the so-called underground places, most of which are from improper sources, of course, illegal business, I will not do it.
I'm only responsible for pulling the line for buyers and sellers, of course, I can't work in vain, as for the price difference here, then I have to take some oil.
But if something happens, don't come to me, I don't know anything, and I won't be responsible.
In these years, if you want to make money by being honest, it will be considered feudal superstition. If you want to live like a person, you have to turn a blind eye, make some black and white transactions, make it convenient for others, and make some spare money yourself.
Of course, I will never touch the illegal tomb robbery, there is a life to make money and not to spend money, it is left to the dead.
After a few days, I sent this Song Dynasty Ru kiln to the second uncle's antique auction house, originally thinking of selling it myself, but unfortunately the price given by those bosses is a little small, after all, this thing is priceless, I am not in a hurry to sell, if the price is good, it can catch up with the harvest of the previous year.
There is no business in staying in the shop like this, so I simply closed the door and went to Yunnan to play with my second uncle for a few days.
If you want to mention my second uncle, he can be regarded as a figure with a head and a face in this industry, and he has been mixing in the antique circle at the age of fourteen. Tomb robbing, hunting, and wild adventures have played everything, and he can feel the antiques of any dynasty with his eyes closed, and the second uncle has a deep background and a deeper path, which is really unpredictable.
I have heard behind my back that the second uncle made a fortune by robbing tombs in the early years, and now he has a relationship with the underworld and the white way, and it is said that he is friends with the leaders of the national cultural relics protection units, and he has a team of people in private, and he goes to some tombs to find emperors and emperors in the depths of the mountains, and then buys them abroad after digging up antiques.
As for whether this is true or not, I don't know, and I don't want to know.
Insiders know that it's a good thing to know too much about some things in this world.
At night, when I was about to close the bunk and go to bed, the phone rang, I picked up the phone and looked at it, it was no one else, and I estimated that it was almost Wang Wei's kid's phone, and I guess I wanted to get some oil and water from me.
The phone was connected and asked, "Xiaotian, what's going on?" Brother introduced you to the business can make a lot of money. ”
"Thanks to the blessing of your ancestors, you earned hundreds of millions, and the boss also gave a suite by the way." I said politely to the other end of the phone.
"Can we not be so low-key, Xiaotian, I will go back to my hometown tomorrow, I haven't seen you for so many years, find a place to have a good drink."
"If it's so admirable, is it white or beer? Red or sweet? ”
After speaking, Wang Wei and I laughed on the phone.
After chatting for a while, Wang Wei hung up the phone, thinking that he was idle anyway, so he would go back to his hometown to find him for a drink.
