Just the price of 5,000 was obviously far from his inner goal.
My hand stopped in mid-air, I glanced at the boss and said, "Please tell me the real price. I don't want to be taken advantage of. I can buy it or not."
"It's definitely not worth 5,000. You have to look through it a few times. You can get it and take a look. If it looks good, we can negotiate the price and I'll make the purchase soon."
The stall owner said helplessly that he bought this fan for 4,000 yuan more than a year ago. It has been on display for so long and few people are interested. I am one of the few people who asked about the price.
I picked up the fan and opened it gently. It was a 1-foot folding fan with a 2.0 vent and a complete fan surface. On it were the four characters "Great Rivers and Mountains" and the inscription "Nangan". The whole fan feels very clean.
Nangan? Who is this person?
I quickly searched through the memories in my mind. This fan should have been made around 1895. Those who could use the Xiangfei Bamboo Fan were either rich or noble. Among the celebrities at that time, who was named Nan Qian?
A person suddenly came to mind, Feng Zicai! With the courtesy name Nanqian and the nickname Cuiting, he was a native of Qinzhou, Guangdong. He was a famous anti-French general and national hero in the late Qing Dynasty.
If this fan belonged to Feng Zicai, or if it was nominated by him, this fan would no longer be an ordinary Xiang Fei folding fan.
The stall owner did not pay attention to this. Firstly, it was because Feng Zicai was not a particularly famous person in modern history; secondly, because the inscription on this fan was extremely ordinary; and most importantly, because the bamboo material used in this fan was known as Xiangfei Bamboo. It is very ordinary, and it is difficult to connect this folding fan with a fine product.
"It's definitely impossible to turn it over several times. This fan can still be used. I'll pay 10,000 yuan. If it can be sold, I'll take it."
I closed the fan and put it in place. Without waiting for the stall owner to answer, I pointed to the compass in the upper left corner of the stall owner and said, "How much does that compass instrument cost?"
The stall owner originally wanted to tell me about the fan, but seeing me asking about the compass again, he had no choice but to reply: "It's a genuine product, used by an expert from Longhu Mountain. The sincere price is 3,000."
I pointed to a Tang Sancai horse next to the compass and said to myself: "This looks real. It should be good to display at home."
I picked up the Tang Sancai, played with it for a while, put it down, and said to the stall owner: "This Tang Sancai is not bad, the meaning is not bad, how much does it cost?"
The compass I looked at before was a genuine one. I don’t know if it was used by the Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain, but the Tang Sancai I’m looking at now is a fake.
Moreover, the workmanship of this fake is rough, it is a fake among fakes, and it is not worth much at all.
The stall owner was already very disappointed when he saw that I didn't talk about the fan. Suddenly I asked about this Tang Sancai. If you want it, take it for 8,000 yuan, no bargaining!"
"It's 15,000 yuan for three items. I'll take it if I can."
I acted like I was determined and quoted the price I had come up with.
"Why don't you go grab it? I'll sell these three things to you for 15,000. I'll lose even the coffin."
The stall owner refused.
This is what I expected. My price is not random. The stall owner definitely doesn’t understand the value of the Xiangfei fan, so he only sells it as an ordinary Xiangfei fan. If he knew the value, he would never put it here. of.
I estimated for this stall owner that his receiving price should be around 5,000 yuan;
The compass is genuine, but there are too many compasses for sale, and the price of the compass cannot be raised. Its purchase price should be between 1,000 and 1,500;
As for this fake Tang Sancai, the stall owner naturally knows that it is fake. If he doesn't have this level of skill, he doesn't need to set up a stall here. The estimated price I gave him is 200.
His purchase price for these three items should be around 8,000 yuan. In the antique business, the emphasis is not to open for three years and to maintain the business for three years. He will not sell it unless he makes a profit that doubles or triples.
The price I quoted 15,000 was based on his profit qualifying price. If the price quoted was too low, he would refuse directly, and the business would be ruined. As long as he did not refuse, no matter what price I quoted, the next step would be We all bargain with each other.
I am very particular about picking up leaks this time. The method of picking out leaks is to draw inferences from one case to another. Never talk about the leaks you want to pick up. Once the owner of the goods sees your thoughts, you will not be able to pick up the leaks.
To pick up leaks, you must grasp the psychology of the cargo owner, and make him eat meat and soup, which is profitable, so that he will relax his vigilance, and finally lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds.
I have given him enough benefits now. I deliberately let him make money with that Tang Sancai. I couldn't tell such a simple fake, and he would even think that I was a novice. As long as he wants to eat this piece of meat, he must lose the watermelon, because I am talking about the price of three items.
The next development of the plot was almost as I expected, and the stall owner and I started haggling repeatedly.
During this period, the stall owner’s underlings also appeared. They came up to comment. Some praised me for my good taste, some said that I bid harshly, and some said that the boss was too rigid in doing business. All of their behaviors were to promote these three items. transaction.
The performance of the stall owner was also very exciting. Sometimes he would curse and swear, sometimes he would complain about the difficulty of doing business, and sometimes he would cry and be miserable. I am not unfamiliar with these performances of his. When I studied with those old masters there, those old masters His performance is more exciting and real than his.
Finally, half an hour later, our business was completed, and the final transaction price of these three items was 20,000 yuan.
The stall owner was satisfied with the result, but he still didn't forget to sell me three brocade boxes.
I was too lazy to argue with him anymore, so I spent another 600 yuan. People rely on clothes, Buddha relies on gold, and good things also need good packaging.
Jinbao has been unable to help. When he saw that the business was concluded, he quickly came up and took the three brocade boxes in his hands. He wanted to do something, which was consistent with his status as a follower.
Jin Bao carefully held the brocade box and followed me. We came to Gu Yuezhai, which is Sun Min's antique shop.
I did not go in, but at the door of the small shop opposite Gu Yuezhai, I ordered two glasses of juice for Jin Bao and me. I drank it leisurely and began to observe Gu Yuezhai's situation.
Sitting at the tea table in the center of the hall, drinking tea and reading a book, is Sun Min. I have seen photos of him. He looks very polite, but there is a hint of murderous intent in his eyebrows. Sun Min is indeed a gang member. He is said to be in the gang. Some of the status here should be true.
The place has been found, the people have been seen, and the purpose of this trip has been achieved. All that is left is to wait for Sun Min to take action again.
When it comes to catching a thief and taking the stolen goods, I naturally want to catch him. As long as I can catch him, I believe I can settle the matter. I will spit it out just as he ate it!
