Chapter 338: Rules are Rules
Xu Qing went to the two tables at the door and took a look, it was really all spiritual treasures.
However, Lingbao was not directly written.
Instead, only the grade and the lowest price are indicated.
Of course, even the lowest price is much higher than the market price, enough to drive away those ordinary buyers.
It is estimated that ordinary buyers will complain and even laugh wildly when they see these spiritual treasures and the marked price.
Xu Qing then picked up a jade plate and looked at it, it was indeed a spiritual treasure, and it was genuine.
But the price is really not cheap.
It's just the most basic nine-grade spirit treasure, but the lowest price is as high as 800,000, if someone competes, it can easily break through 1 million, it's like a joke.
But as you can imagine, someone will pay for it.
Jiupin Lingbao is also Lingbao.
The Nine Rank Spirit Treasure was nothing in Xu Qing's eyes, but for the majority of ordinary cultivators, it was still a rare good thing.
Because the number of spiritual treasures is too small compared to the large number of Jianghu people and cultivators.
Even if the spirit treasure can be reused, it is far from enough.
How many Jianghu people are there in China?
I dare not say that there are millions, and now the social environment is getting better and better, the material life is getting richer and richer, and the lives of the people in the rivers and lakes are getting better and better, it is foreseeable that the number of cultivators will be more in the future, otherwise why let the official compromise, right?
But what about Lingbao?
Xu Qing didn't count it, but by calculating the number of real antiques and spiritual treasures he had seen, he could get a rough proportion, one in 100,000.
You know, this is still him, although he debuted for a short time, he has seen a lot of spiritual treasures, and many people in the rivers and lakes have never seen any spiritual treasures in their lives in the past six months.
Therefore, the proportion of his statistics based on his own data is obviously high.
Therefore, even if there is a steady stream of spiritual treasures flowing into the market, it is in short supply.
What's more, Lingbao is not an ordinary commodity, most of them will not sell after buying Lingbao, even if it is useless, it will be passed on as an heirloom, the liquidity is extremely low, and how many Lingbao on the market can be digested.
In addition, ordinary people with money also have a demand for spiritual treasures, and they are even more willing to spend money than cultivators.
It's an industry that can last a lifetime.
As long as there are cultivators, the buying and selling of spiritual treasures will never stop.
Now Xu Qing was a little worried that the spirit treasure was not enough.
At this stage, almost all the Lingbao comes from antiques, but the number of antiques and antiques is limited, even if there are a lot buried in the ground, there must be a day when it is dug up, and at that time, the price of Lingbao is estimated to go up to a level, maybe it will become a real luxury.
Xu Qing read them one by one, and felt a little pity that it didn't make him feel excited.
Although there are good ones, the price is high.
For him, it's like chicken ribs, and he can earn some aura when he buys it.
The main thing is trouble, there is no place to store it after buying, and it gets in the way.
So I didn't have the intention to place an order, so I turned my head directly to see those ordinary antiques.
If you can pick up the leaks, the trouble points feel worth it.
Not to mention, I really found it after turning around.
A bronze gilt Buddha statue.
To be precise, it is the bronze-gilt Medicine Buddha.
It's a pity that the gilt layer has fallen off, only sporadic gold spots can barely see the original style, overall, a little ugly, gray-brown mixed with mottled red spots and green embroidery, and then with the sporadic gilt layer, as if someone knocked over the paint box.
It's messy, it's messy.
It's the kind of thing that doesn't look valuable at first glance.
However, it is also an old sight, wide open, and the characteristics of the times are very obvious.
It's a real thing, but it's a pity that it's not in good condition.
This is the first reaction of most people when they see this bronze gilt seated statue of Medicine Buddha.
But Xu Qing is different.
He was fascinated when he saw it, because the shape of this Medicine Buddha is too classic, especially the open face, almost perfect, although the gilt layer of the face has all fallen off, there is no beauty at all, but that kind of compassionate demeanor can still be revealed from the mottled copper fetus.
The shape is very classic, classic to old-fashioned, sitting on the knees, the left hand is naturally placed horizontally in front of the navel, the right hand holds a pill and naturally hangs down in front of the knee, the body is dignified, the face is compassionate, it is the first shape that all craftsmen master when giving the Buddha statue.
Simple, unpretentious, without any bells and whistles.
Classic, but if the craftsmanship is not up to par, classic is equal to rigid and old-fashioned.
On the contrary, the craftsmanship is superb, and the classic shapes produced are truly classics.
How to tell the difference?
There is no way to take shortcuts, and there is no trick, it all depends on eyesight, especially in the appreciation of arts and crafts, it is best to have studied art.
If you have not studied art and do not understand art appreciation, you will not be able to distinguish the difference between the old-fashioned and the classic.
But it's a pity that there are only a few people who know how to appreciate art.
At least Lao Wang and his wife don't understand, so the price of this Medicine Buddha is only a pitiful 30,000 yuan.
What is the actual market price?
Add zero and double it, that is, 600,000 starts.
And that's just the price of an ordinary curio.
This bronze Medicine Buddha is still an eight-grade spiritual treasure, and if he is given it, he can easily sell it for more than two million.
It's a big leak.
It's worth the shot.
Thinking so, he handed it directly to An Ran beside him: "Take it." ”
An Ran's eyes flashed, but he didn't say much, just held the Medicine Buddha in his arms.
But at this time, someone stood up: "Boss Xu, this is not in accordance with the rules, right?" ”
Xu Qing raised his eyebrows: "What rules?" ”
"Here, you can't take the goods directly, you can only write down the number and hand it to Boss Wang, if there is no competition, you can take it at the lowest price, if someone else also takes a fancy to it, you must bid with the other party."
Xu Qing smiled, but was a little embarrassed in his heart.
He really didn't know this before, after all, it was the first time he came, and no one told him about it.
And when I saw the big leak, I was a little excited, so I started directly.
It's good now, it's not to put it down, it's not to take it away.
How faceless is it to put it down directly?
And although this person didn't say anything bad, his tone and demeanor were obviously provocative, that is, the feeling of "I finally caught your handle", which was very disgusting.
However, turning a deaf ear or even oppressing others?
It's okay, as long as he speaks, Lao Wang has absolutely no opinion, and he is happy to accept no money.
But so many people watched it, and it spread the same bad reputation.
At this time, Pan Zhonghua hurriedly walked over and arched his hand: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, blame me, I brought Boss Xu over but didn't explain the rules here to Boss Xu......"
Xu Qing stretched out his hand to interrupt Pan Zhonghua's words, and looked at the young man who opened his mouth to stop him with a smile: "You are also interested in this seated statue of Medicine Buddha?" ”
The young man, said to be a young man, is actually older than Xu Qing, twenty-five or sixteen years old.
The young man stiffened his neck and said, "If you are interested or not, you can't break the rules." ”
Xu Qing nodded: "That's a good saying, rules are more important than anything else, and one of the most important qualities of our mixed rivers and lakes is to abide by the rules." ”
