Chapter 233
There is an old saying, "No matter how far apart the world is, the one who buys is not as good as the one who sells." This is not entirely true. The people who came to look at the goods were each better than the other.
Qin Xingping found two people and called the head one. These three were all wealthy antique dealers. Their names were Wang Ruhai, Liu Yuanning, and a woman also named Qin, named Qin Juan.
They are all people whom I trust whom I have worked with before. If I didn't trust them, I wouldn't ask them to come all the way to Yinchuan. These antique dealers were all veterans, and they didn’t say anything to the buyer’s approach of calling so many people over to view the goods.
Everyone was present that day and took out a lot of things at once. Ashoka Pagoda did not take anything. Depending on the situation, this thing will be saved for the last moment.
Wang Ruhai is in his fifties and speaks with a Shanxi accent. He picked up the jade bear, looked at it, and said with a smile: "It's okay. I'm Zhuangzi. Can you please let me have this gadget first?"
The two men nodded and said nothing.
Wang Ruhai cupped his fists and said thank you, then turned to look at the boss.
A little trick was played here. The way he and Wang Ruhai negotiated prices was called the New Style Xiu Li Qian Kun, also known as Qian Kun Xiu.
In the past, the old-fashioned Qiankun sleeves were covered with cuffs. The buyer and the seller held hands without letting go. If the buyer stretched out a finger, it represented an ocean. If the seller was not satisfied, he would push down his arm, which meant please You bid again.
At this time, the buyer adds two fingers. If he wants to express that this is my highest bid, the buyer will cough deliberately. If the seller accepts the price, he will happily extend his hand and shake it with both hands. On the contrary, if you think the price is low, you will loosen your hand and shake your head.
The hands are hidden in the sleeves so that no one else knows the buying and selling prices. Keeping the price confidential will help you resell this item in the future. The Qiankun Sleeve can also be regarded as a cultural epitome in the antique shop.
The new Qiankun sleeves are just covered with a layer of leather, and they don’t have the bargaining flavor of the old ones.
Specifically, the two parties meet to trade and negotiate the price via mobile phone. Antique dealer Wang Ruhai valued the Xixia Hemo jade bear. He thought the price was 10,000, so he dialed 1 on his mobile phone and shook his head, meaning no.
He deleted one, hit two, and still shook his head.
Wang Ruhai gritted his teeth, dialed three, and then transferred the phone, which meant the highest price.
Tou Tou felt that we were almost ready to sell it, because we originally expected the price to be one to two, but now the price has reached three, so Tou Tou turned his phone over again.
The two looked at each other and shook hands. Jade Bear just took action. At this time, if an outsider asked: "Wang Ruhai, how much did you spend to buy it?" Wang Ruhai would smile and say, "I bought it for 80,000 yuan."
The middle-aged woman named Qin Juan was very generous. He didn't like the jade bear, but he took away the copper seal and the Dakini Buddha. I didn't hear anything about this seal later, but the gold-plated Dakini Buddha Later, it was put up for auction, and this woman made a lot of money.
Liu Yuanning took away the tortoiseshell gusset plate and a large number of miscellaneous copper items with hats and crowns. He would sort out the miscellaneous copper items after he returned. He would pick out the most expensive items for carriages and horses, followed by clothing items, and finally the daily necessities. I think the price of that pile of miscellaneous items, just the clothing items, can top the price. We don’t choose in advance because we are the manufacturer and they are the distributors. They come all the way to let others make money.
These three people are very smart, they all know it well, and they still have big things hidden in their heads.
With his head more refined, he knew that if he wanted to get a higher price, he had to first build up the appetite of these fish so that they could bite the hook happily.
The head smiled and said: "Everyone, it's getting late. Please pay the money and that's it for today. You can go around and have fun at night. The finale will be tomorrow."
Qin Juan stood up and said with a smile: "Give me some tips, Mr. Wang, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat well and sleep well at night."
"That's right, Sister Juan is right," Wang Ruhai rubbed his hands back and forth and said with a smile.
He looked at me and asked, "Hey Yunfeng, what does that thing look like?"
