My intuition tells me that Lao Zhao is likely to be engaged in some kind of cheating profession, and what this kind of person is most afraid of is being deceived by others, plus my fooling, so in the end Lao Zhao agreed. In terms of transaction methods, I asked him to ask his son to place an order on Taobao, which is also guaranteed.

After talking about business, I was just about to hang up the phone, and Lao Zhao asked me again: "Do you still have a look at the photo of that jade pendant?" "My curiosity has passed, and I thought that this old Zhao was probably making up stories to bluff me to play, and I didn't take it seriously, so I just said that it didn't matter if I watched it or not. Anyway, the business has basically been promoted, so what kind of jade pendant do you want.

Lao Zhao said: "Boss Tian." You are a person who has seen the world, and you have gone to Thailand to do business, I have never even been to Mount Tai, I am just a farmer. Do you know a lot of customers? There are people from all walks of life, right? ”

I tell you the truth, I have customers all over the country, there are all kinds of occupations, what are you going to do? Lao Zhao said, is there any antique and cultural relics business, I want to show him the photo of this jade pendant, so that he can help identify it. I thought to myself, and I asked him to send me the picture. Then tell him that he can take a picture of Yu Pei with his mobile phone first, and then send an MMS message to his son's mobile phone, and his son can send it to me through the computer QQ. Just when I was about to teach Lao Zhao what MMS is and how to send it, Lao Zhao said: "No problem, I often send MMS." Get it right away, you wait! ”

I was amazed that this middle-aged farmer, who couldn't even name his laptop, sent MMS messages so often. I asked him to write down my QQ number and hung up.

After another two hours, an unfamiliar QQ number added me, I looked at the information of this QQ, and it showed that I was twenty-one years old and studying at Henan Agricultural University. This guy claimed to be surnamed Zhao, and said that his father wanted to buy two Buddhist medals from me. I knew that he was Lao Zhao's son, so I immediately entered the store, established a new link to two products, and asked him to place an order. After the shooting, Xiao Zhao said that his father had a few pictures to send me. He posted a total of four pictures, which were rough palms with a jade pendant in the center and four angles.

Seeing these four pictures, I was a little surprised, because in my impression, even if this Lao Zhao is not a farmer, it is impossible to be a businessman, a national cadre or a fashion figure, and most of the mobile phones used are that kind of copycat machines, even if there is a photo function, the pixels are also very bad, and it is good to have 300,000.

But these four pictures are quite clear, I looked at the pixels of the photo, multiplied it with a calculator, and it was actually 3.2 million pixels, which was the highest standard of mobile phone cameras at that time. I thought to myself that this old Zhao was quite serious, and he must have borrowed a high-end mobile phone to take pictures of me.

Although I don't understand artifacts and antiques. But it can also be seen that the fine carving of this jade pendant is a shape similar to a bird's head, with holes underneath, and a long red pendant tassel attached.

My clients are all over China, all professions. One of them is an antique dealer who has set up shop in Liulichang, Beijing, specializing in calligraphy, painting and antique jade. I found the customer's QQ number, passed the four pictures, and said that they were from a friend's house, and asked him to see what the value was.

Half a day later, this customer called me: "Boss Tian, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, are you okay?" The charm card of the lucky centipede works well, and after a while, a friend of mine may also ask you for a card, and then give a discount. "I said no problem.

The customer asked again: "By the way, by the way, what kind of friend is your jade pendant?" My ancestor was an official, or was he a collector? "I said that the other party and I are not very familiar with each other, and I didn't elaborate, only asked me if I knew the expert identification.

The customer said, "You can help me ask that friend what price he wants to sell." All right? ”

I smiled and said, "He only said that he wanted to ask about the value, age, authenticity and so on, but he didn't say that he wanted to sell it." ”

The customer said, "Just ask about the value, then you want to sell, and that's okay." This jade pendant is a product of the late Qing Dynasty, probably in the Xianfeng and Guangxu periods. Judging from the carving and form. At that time, the owner of the jade pendant should not have been a nobleman or an official, but it must have been a large family, relatively rich and powerful. But there is a saying about antiques, which is called the starting price of officials, as long as it is related to the official, or the prince or even the things in the palace are valuable. ”

"What kind of bird is that jade carving?" I asked.

The customer said that it was not a bird, but the head of a phoenix, and this jade pendant should have a pair, a dragon head. A phoenix head, together is the dragon and phoenix jade pendant, which is usually a large family when they get married.

It was only after he introduced me that I understood. The customer said, "You can help me contact that friend, and say that if he wants to sell, call me, and the price is negotiable." And Boss Tian, if you can make a deal in the end, your benefit fee will definitely be indispensable. We have also done business between us, you helped me, I definitely can't lose you! ”

After listening to this, I was really a little tempted in my heart, and after hanging up, I sent a text message to Lao Zhao and said these words. The two Buddha cards that Lao Zhao chose were sent to me by Lao Xie and Fang Gang, and the cat fetus passed by Fang Gang's. And the ancient method of shooting babies is Lao Xie's picture. So I had to send them separate text messages and ask them to ship the goods as soon as possible and send them to Lao Zhao's son's university address in Henan.

Ten days later, Xiao Zhao sent me a QQ text message, saying that he had received two packages, he opened them and looked at them, and there were only two square necklace brands. I said that this is a Thai Buddhist card, and there are two pieces of paper printed with pinyin, don't lose it. Xiao Zhao said that there was no problem, and he would go back to his hometown next week. So he brought it to his father.

Xiao Zhao confirmed the receipt of the goods on Taobao, and these two Buddha cards earned two thousand five together, and the profit was okay. On average, they can earn more than 1,200 each, although the profit is not much, but after all, it is two goods together, so I treat it as a business. In the evening, my cousin and sister-in-law and I were eating seafood barbecue outside, and the phone rang, it was the customer who was in the antique business at the Liuli Factory in Beijing.

The customer's tone sounded very happy: "Boss Tian, when will you go back to Shenyang, pass by Beijing to find me." Please eat! By the way, send me your bank account number. ”

I asked, "What?" Send me money? ”

"What do you think?" The customer smiled and said, "I just came back from Puyang yesterday. "As soon as I heard Puyang, I immediately remembered that it wasn't Lao Zhao's home, and I understood a little.

The customer said: "That old Zhao is very interesting, guarding against me is like guarding against thieves, maybe I'm afraid I'm fishing." He went to Luoyang to trade with me, and he also brought two accomplices, who seemed to be farmers. But in the end, the goods were received, and I was the one who spoke. You must have paid for your hard work. Don't be too little, just 10,000 yuan, how about it? ”

This made me happy, but I didn't expect to have an unexpected gain from selling a Buddhist card! hurriedly said how embarrassed this was, and then reported the bank card number to him. Hanging up the phone, I said to my cousin and sister-in-law that I have a treat for this meal, you can order whatever you want. My cousin asked, "What's so happy?" "Of course I can't tell the truth, just say that a deal has just been negotiated. My cousin happily called the boss and ordered a lot of seafood.

Drink until midnight and go home, lying in bed. I called Lao Zhao, and he said with a smile: "Your customer Boss Dai is very generous, hey, these two Buddha cards were not bought in vain, and I will cooperate with him for a long time in the future!" ”

I thought he was wrong and asked, "Is it a long-term cooperation with me?" Lao Zhao hurriedly changed his words and said yes.

A few days later. Lao Zhao's son, Xiao Zhao, asked me on QQ that his father didn't understand what the printed paper was for. I asked his dad to hold the amulet in the palm of his hand in the middle of the night and recite the mantra on the paper three times in a row.

After more than half a month, I returned to Shenyang from Thailand to visit relatives, because the old house was to be renovated, and I wanted to hang two calligraphy and paintings on the wall to fill the elegance. When I was in transit in Beijing, I called the customer who had opened a shop in Liulichang and asked him to buy two for me. Real old Beijingers are very warm and friends. He found an acquaintance in the calligraphy and painting street and picked out a banner for me, and a pair of vertical couplets, ready to be placed on both sides of the TV wall, the price is not expensive, and it is also written by a calligrapher, of course, it is second- or third-rate, otherwise I am too expensive.
