Chapter 66: A good start

Although the final transaction price exceeded the maximum limit given by Brother Jin, Gu Ming did not feel frustrated. She had a hunch that there was no loss in this deal.

It just so happened that today was the day when Professor Wang routinely went to the Jibao Mountain House to sit in the hall, and Professor Wang couldn't come over in the morning, so he called and said he would come in the afternoon.

Gu Ming put away the horn cup and quickly called Professor Wang, explaining that she had received a horn cup and came back, and she could be sure that the horn cup was indeed an antique, but she was not sure if it was made of rhinoceros horn, and wanted to ask Professor Wang to come and have a look.

Professor Wang has always been thinking about Gu Ming, and knew that Gu Ming received something alone for the first time, so he immediately ended the matter at hand and came to Jibao Mountain House.

"Where's Ah Jin?" As soon as Professor Wang walked into the Jibao Mountain Room, he saw Gu Ming sitting behind the counter.

"Brother Jin was worried that it would be inconvenient for his sister-in-law to be at home alone, so he went back first." Gu Ming hurriedly greeted him, and was slightly stunned when he saw the people following Professor Wang, and then smiled: "Hello Mr. Qiao." ”

"Miss Gu, meet again." Mr. Qiao looked at Gu Ming with a gentle smile on his face.

"Ah Jin, that kid, will touch the fish." Professor Wang shook his head, and when he heard Mr. Qiao call Gu Ming like this, he said, "Ouch, we have been friends for twenty or thirty years, Gu Ming is my student, isn't your Miss Gu Miss Gu's name rusty?" ”

As soon as Gu Ming heard this, she knew that Professor Wang was helping her get closer to Mr. Qiao, how could she not climb up the pole: "What Professor Wang said is, Mr. Qiao, don't call me that, if you don't dislike it, call me Xiao Gu." ”

After Guan Tong's reminder before, she remembered that Mr. Qiao and Professor Wang had been good friends for many years, but she never knew who Mr. Qiao was.

It was only after she came back from Taiyuan that she gradually understood. Mr. Qiao's full name is Qiao An, who is very famous in the antique world, and is the apprentice of Xue Qi, a well-known expert in the world. It's just that Mr. Qiao has always been relatively low-key and never does things properly, so many people who don't know about the antique industry don't know.

Mr. Qiao glanced at Professor Wang and saw that the other party just smiled at him.

"Xiao Gu, I heard that you came back with a rhinoceros horn cup, can you take it out and show it to us?" In the end, Mr. Qiao still followed Professor Wang's meaning with kindness.

has been an old friend for many years, he should still give the face he should give, not to mention that his impression of Gu Ming is still quite good.

"Of course. I'm just not sure if it's a rhinoceros horn cup. Gu Ming nodded, and immediately took out the horn cup and put it in front of Professor Wang and Mr. Qiao.

This time, Professor Wang did not step forward immediately, but asked Mr. Qiao to observe first.

While Mr. Qiao was observing, Professor Wang inquired in detail about what happened. There are also various bases for Gu Ming's judgment of this horn cup,

Gu Ming's obedience was repeated, and he explained in detail his various views on the corner cup.

"Lao Wang. Xiao Gu, this student, you taught really well, and the several identification points you said were correct. While Mr. Qiao observed the horn cup, he also paid attention to the conversation between Gu Ming and Professor Wang.

Professor Wang smiled proudly: "Gu Ming's talent has nothing to say, at first glance, it is the material for this business, otherwise I will not be able to do it no matter how powerful I am." ”

Gu Ming listened to Professor Wang's unabashed praise. There was a slight embarrassment on his face, but he was still very happy in his heart. She clearly felt that since she had followed Professor Wang back from Taiyuan. Professor Wang seemed to be more satisfied with her, and it seemed that her efforts were not in vain.

"I heard that you paid 4,500 yuan to get it back?" Mr. Qiao finished observing the corner cup and said to Gu Ming.

"Yes." Gu Ming nodded.

"Good vision." Mr. Qiao gave Gu Ming an approving look.

Gu Mingzhi was in good spirits when he heard this, and stared at Mr. Qiao with bright eyes: "So, this horn cup is really rhinoceros horn?" ”

"Not bad." Mr. Joe nodded.

Professor Wang immediately stepped forward, took the horn cup in his hand, reached out and stroked it gently, observed it carefully, and finally nodded, and said to Mr. Qiao: "Old Qiao, you know more about this aspect. You say this rhinoceros horn cup is real, that's probably it. ”

"In addition to the points you just mentioned, there are two more important points in identifying rhinoceros horn cups. One is to look at the underside of it. On the bottom surface of rhinoceros horn products, there are many small round holes like brown eyes. This is also the unique feature of rhino horn products, which are generally not present with other imitations. The second one is to look at the color, rhinoceros horn products are generally pitch black or brown-black, and everything that is orange is an imitation. The rhinoceros horn cup you received is slightly different in color, but judging from various characteristics, it is indeed made of real rhinoceros horn. Mr. Qiao said slowly.

Gu Ming humbly was taught, and after Mr. Qiao finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Qiao, how much do you think this rhinoceros horn cup is worth?" I've heard that Asian rhino horn is about 8 to 10 times more expensive than African rhino horn, I don't know which type this rhino horn cup belongs to? ”

"From the gloss, it is made in the front part of African rhino horn, but this rhino horn cup is darker, while African rhino horn is lighter in color, and most of it is dyed when it is made. Judging from the production period, this rhinoceros horn cup should be a work after Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty. The style of the carving is expressed in the theme of folklore and the inscription of the two immortals and the blessing of longevity. It is mainly taken as an auspicious and beautiful meaning, and the blessing of longevity. Mr. Qiao picked up the rhinoceros horn cup and explained it carefully.

"If it is made from African rhino horn, the price is naturally not as good as that of Asian rhino horn, after all, the Asian rhinoceros is extinct. The carving of this rhinoceros horn cup looks a little rough, and it is obvious that this is the work of a folk workshop, and it may be that because of the long time, there is some corrosion on the surface, and its artistic value is greatly reduced. However, its medicinal value is very high, rhino horn has the effect of reducing swelling and detoxifying, it is also a valuable traditional Chinese medicine, I estimate that such a large rhinoceros horn cup, how to say that it should not be less than 150,000. Professor Wang continued Mr. Qiao's words.

"One hundred and fifty thousand." Gu Ming's heart was pounding.

4,500 yuan against 150,000 yuan, who took advantage of it, this is obvious. If Mr. Hu, who left in a hurry, knew that this rhinoceros horn cup was worth at least 150,000 yuan, he would definitely regret that his intestines were blue.

"Gu Ming. The first time I received something, there was such a result, which is indeed good, and now I'm afraid Lao Zheng's mouth will be crooked. Professor Wang looked very happy.

Gu Ming was also very excited, although this rhinoceros horn cup was not as good as the porcelain pillow she sold for 2 million, but she was secretive about the porcelain pillow and didn't want too many people to know, but this rhinoceros horn cup proved her strength.

In exchange for 4,500 yuan for 150,000 things, this kind of thing is not something that everyone can do, and the right time and place are the same.

If Gu Ming had any doubts about this rhinoceros horn cup at that time, or insisted on sticking to the 3,000 yuan limit given by Brother Jin. Maybe you'll have to pass by this baby.

"Brother Jin gave me a maximum of 3,000 yuan, and I was worried that I would lose money if I added more money to receive something that was not worth it!" Gu Ming smiled.

"I'm glad you're clever enough." Professor Wang first praised Gu Ming, put away his smiling face, and said to Gu Ming with a slightly serious expression: "Although the result this time is very good, you can't be impetuous because of this. This time you are lucky to come across a genuine product, but next time it may not be, so you must check it carefully when you look at something. If you encounter this kind of situation that exceeds the upper limit in the future, it is best to discuss it with Ah Jin first. ”

"I see, I'll pay attention next time." Gu Ming knew that she was a little anxious this time, and hurriedly reassured.

If it's up to her to make the decisions, it's okay to say that what she has taken back beyond the upper limit is true. If it's fake, it's more or less bad for people. If she hadn't been for herself, she would have been sure it was a real antique. She didn't dare to do that.

Professor Wang reminded Gu Ming so seriously, but in his heart, he was already happy, Gu Ming deserved to be a good student he taught, and he got a big fortune as soon as he made a move, and it was in vain that he opened a small stove alone many times, and he did not lose his face.

"Alright, sometimes you just need this kind of courage like her." Mr. Qiao, on the contrary to Professor Wang, seems to agree with Gu Ming's approach.

Professor Wang snorted, but didn't say anything more.

I was affirmed by Professor Wang and Mr. Qiao, and I was reassured. quickly made a phone call to Brother Jin to tell the other party the good news.

After hearing this, Brother Jin immediately raised Gu Ming's upper limit to 8,000 yuan, and then praised Gu Ming fiercely. It was so boastful that Gu Ming was about to be embarrassed to listen on the phone before stopping.

Brother Jin's eyesight is not good, but he is still firmly in the second-in-command of Jibao Mountain House. Naturally, there are also his advantages.

Boss Zheng has not been in Jibao Mountain House for a long time, Brother Jin is basically the person who presides over Jibao Mountain House, every time Jibao Mountain House has something good, Brother Jin can spread the news as quickly as possible.

Under the management of Brother Jin, there is a part of the fixed source of customers in the Treasure Villa, because of the good reputation of the Treasure Lodge, every time something new comes to the Treasure Lodge, it can always be quickly taken away by interested people.

Gu Ming received instructions from Brother Jin, knowing that in the past few days, there should be guests who come to see the rhinoceros horn cup, and every day when she went to work, she waited with the spirit of 120,000 yuan.

On the morning of the third day after receiving the rhinoceros horn cup, Gu Ming welcomed the first guest who was interested in the rhinoceros horn cup.

"What about the rhinoceros horn cup in your store, take it out and show it to us." The visitor yawned loudly, looked like he hadn't woken up, didn't look at his name, and walked directly to the chair in the store to entertain guests and sat down.

Gu Ming clearly knew from the moment she saw the other party's appearance clearly that the real fat sheep came to the door!
