Chapter 8 The First Priority Is to Raise Money First
Mu Huanyan skipped class for the first time in his life, there was no way, the buyer only gave him a week, and he also wanted Shen Quan's "Pine Crane Longevity Map", which was too rushed.
As for why the "Pine Crane Longevity Map" is in Gu Shiyan's hands, I don't care about it for now, let's make up my grandfather's medical expenses first.
She has been exposed to her grandfather since she was a child, and she has an extraordinary talent in calligraphy and painting.
As long as she memorizes a painting with her heart, it is like a video reproduced in her mind. However, it is not enough to just have it in your head, you have to draw it.
First of all, you have to buy rice paper and pigments, antique old paintings, these two things cost a lot of money, especially rice paper, which must be made by ancient methods.
Ancient rice paper can survive thousands of years without decay, which is particularly expensive. At the Jiadechun auction one year, a piece of "Jinsu Mountain Tibetan Scripture Paper" in the Song Dynasty was auctioned at a high price of 290,000 yuan.
Now the ancient method of making rice paper is getting less and less, because it is necessary to use raw materials such as sandalwood bark and star fruit vine unique to southern Anhui, and it has to go through more than a dozen processes such as soaking, ash masking, steaming, etc., from the growth of raw materials to the paper It takes five or six years to make paper, how can modern people wait.
Fortunately, Mu Huanyan knows where to buy, in the antique market in the western suburbs of the imperial capital, there is a shop specializing in selling old books.
When she was a child, her grandfather often took her there, and if she was lucky, she would find old paper, so she didn't have to do it old, and she would save a lot of effort, but the price was more expensive.
So, it's imperative to raise money first.
Imperial capital, Huamao commercial building.
It's full of world-renowned luxury boutiques, and a block behind this mall is filled with second-hand luxury boutiques.
Mu Huanyan's watches and bags were basically sold here.
"Hello, Miss Mu, what's good this time."
Mu Huanyan handed over the backpack and a velvet box, "This backpack, as well as the ring, you can take a look." ”
The proprietress put on her gloves and unzipped them and looked through the labels inside.
"This brand is very high-end, and it is the top brand of quiet luxury style that is popular now. It's just that. ”
The proprietress wanted to speak and stopped, and Mu Huanyan said slowly: "You say it directly." ”
"Miss Mu, this is indeed a good thing, but the customers who come to me to buy things are basically people who have a little money, but not much, and love vanity, they will not buy this kind of expensive and unrecognizable brand. After all, they all come to the second-hand luxury store, and the things that are impossible to buy are not recognizable as luxury goods, and they can't wait to weld the brand of luxury goods to the bag. ”
"I understand, you can watch it."
The proprietress pondered for two seconds and held out two fingers, "I can only give you this number." ”。
Staring at her fingers full of rings, Mu Huanyan didn't know what the number she was talking about, two thousand? Twenty thousand? Or two hundred thousand?
Two seconds later, the proprietress said, "Twenty thousand."
She lowered her eyes, sighed lightly, and listened to the proprietress again: "I can only add two thousand to you at most." ”。
"Okay. Then look at this. Mu Huanyan handed her the delicate black velvet box, "This is what my mother bought for me, it's a diamond ring." ”。
The proprietress took it, opened it gently, and suddenly felt dazzling and bright like a star.
The diamond is not very big, but it is also two carats by eye, it is a pink diamond, depending on the size should be bought for children, and rich people buy diamonds like buying cabbage.
"You bought it when you were a kid, right?"
"Well, my mom bought it when I was full moon, and it has my name on it."
"Really? So this is custom-made? ”
The proprietress took out a magnifying glass and looked at the ring, "Nuan Nuan".
Mu Huan's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and no one called her Nuan Nuan for a long time.
The proprietress raised her head and said, "It's not easy to sell if you have a name, how much do you want to sell this?" ”
"You look at it, right? It's just that this is a gift from my mother, and I want to redeem it in the future, can you please keep it for me as much as possible? ”。
"Yes, don't worry, I'll try to keep it, unless the other party pays a high price."
"Okay, thanks."
"In this case, Miss Mu, you are also my old customer here, I will give you 40,000 yuan for this diamond ring, mainly because of its small size, as well as the name, and the customer has to change the ring again when he buys it."
"Okay, thanks."
"Oh, I want to thank you for taking care of my business, and if there is anything good in the future, you will come to me."
"Okay."
"That's a total of sixty-two, or do you transfer it to your WeChat?"
"Hmm."
As soon as Mu Huanyan left, the proprietress immediately dialed a phone call, "Young master, she came to be a backpack and a ring again, and there is her name on the ring, Nuan Nuan." ”
"The ring is here."
"Yes, young master."
