Qian Sheng, who was watching the live broadcast in the room, stood up and walked to the monitor.
“There’s something wrong with this price!”
Wang Qiang, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground next to him, raised his head and asked:
"I'm talking to Shopkeeper Qian, why is it wrong for us to sell this thing at a high price? This is what Lao Lin and I paid for with our lives. Not to mention two million, even if he offered 20 million, I felt like I was losing money."
After saying that, Wang Qiang raised his neck and took a big gulp of beer, foam flowing down the corner of his mouth.
He stretched out his hand and continued:
"You, just keep it in your heart. I think these two people are so angry now that they are here to fight for wealth. It is inevitable that they will get into trouble in this kind of situation. Don't you think it's Lao Lin?"
Qian Sheng shook his head firmly.
"It's not like Brother Liu. I've dealt with him before. He's an old buyer. He doesn't get fooled easily. When the auction house appraised it with me, 90-120 was considered the normal price. It was a dozen or two dollars higher than this price. One hundred thousand is as high as the sky.
This time the call came directly to 2 million, which made me feel a little nervous. "
Listen to the sound of gongs and drums, and listen to the sound of words.
Lin Yi is not like Wang Qiang, who always thinks everything is so simple.
Qian Sheng had tampered with these shoes, deliberately making them old and directing his gaze towards Loulan and Shanshan, two small countries in the Western Region. He also retouched them several times in order to conceal them from others.
This Brother Liu has obviously fallen for it, but he is more interested in the culture of the Western Regions. It just so happens that these shoes can be paired, so he wants to get them in his hands.
He didn’t have much doubt about the shoes’ origins.
However, the buyer of No. 6987 has hardly raised his placard from the beginning of the auction to now.
Even if he held up a sign, he would join the others in making noise at the beginning. Once the price went up, he would remain silent.
Qian Sheng also said that this person was a new face and had never been seen in Panjiayuan. This was the first time he had appeared at the auction.
Something is a little strange here.
"Shopkeeper Qian, do you think this man has seen something?"
Qian Sheng clapped his hands and shouted:
"It has to be you, Mr. Lin! I think that's the case, otherwise he would dare to ask for such a price?"
Wang Qiang also heard the deep meaning of their words at this time.
"According to what you two mean, 6987 realizes that the origin of these embroidered shoes is unusual?"
"It's very possible! If we go by our previous estimates, the price of this pair of embroidered shoes cannot be so high. Two million is really a bit outrageous."
"What should we do now? Shopkeeper Qian, why don't you contact our people now and raise your hand to find out the details of this guy?"
"We can't raise the price any more, Mr. Wang. The price is already sky-high and has spread in the antique circle. If we raise the price a few more times and increase the price, once the topic becomes popular, it will really be a big deal." It ended badly."
"Stop talking, Shopkeeper Qian, use your connections here and be sure to find out the origin of this buyer. If he is really an expert and sees the value of this thing, I believe he will not make it public easily, because this pair of The true value of the embroidered shoes is two million, which is unstoppable.
If he sees the details of the embroidered shoes and wants to get to the bottom of it, then let's take a long-term approach. "
Qian Sheng and Wang Qiang looked at each other and expressed their agreement with Lin Yi's plan.
Just when the three of them had just finished their discussion, the hammer had already fallen on the auction site.
The buyer surnamed Liu finally gave up the price increase because the price exceeded expectations, and the pair of embroidered shoes finally went to buyer No. 6987.
At the same time, this price also created the second highest price of the day, which was only 200,000 different from the highest price of the day.
Some people in Qian Sheng's various antique seller groups have begun to inquire about the origin and provenance of this pair of embroidered shoes.
Fortunately, people in the industry are still asking about it at this time. If this pair of shoes is sold to a sky-high price, published in newspapers, and then fermented by various media and self-media, it will definitely cause quite a shock.
This is contrary to Lin Yi's original intention.
The most important thing now is to find the information about the buyer of this pair of embroidered shoes.
Qian Sheng had a wide network of contacts. After a few phone calls, he quickly received feedback.
The man surnamed Li who held the sign at the scene was a driver himself. He came to the scene today simply to run errands for others and act as a tool.
No wonder everyone thinks he is a stranger.
According to his own account, he received a strange phone call two days ago. The other person claimed that he had asked him to be a driver before, and he thought he was a nice and reliable person, so he asked him for help.
The reason was that I was out of town and my flight was delayed due to a typhoon, so I asked him to help me hold a sign at the scene.
If this work is not in vain, he will be paid two thousand yuan for holding up the signs a few times.
This Master Li felt that the other party had his phone number and must be a previous customer. Besides, why not sit here all morning and raise a few signs without having to pay for it yourself and still earn two thousand yuan? No.
All you need to do at the scene is put on a Bluetooth headset, and he will do all the operations as the other party tells him to do.
His mission was to take photos of the embroidered shoes.
Now that the task is completed and the two thousand yuan of labor has been received, Master Li takes the money and leaves, so naturally someone will pay.
The number that the conductor Master Li bid for was also obtained. As expected, the number that was called was already empty and canceled.
The information I got from the auction house is that the buyer's money went to HSBC Bank in Hong Kong or in Hong Kong dollars. I only know that the buyer's signature is Feng.
"Feng?"
Qian Sheng began to search the roster in his mind.
Since he started running "Xiu Gu Zhai", he has often dealt with merchants from Xiangjiang.
They are particularly interested in these strange antiques, and some of them like to collect some sinister things.
At the beginning, in the entertainment circle of Xiangjiang, some unfair competition methods such as "raising little ghosts" and "lowering the head" were quite popular.
It's just that in recent years, with the downturn in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, there are not many people doing these things.
But there has always been a market for these weird curios.
Relatively speaking, Boss Zhou, who claims to be a descendant of the Western Zhou Dynasty, has a fairly normal value orientation.
"Shopkeeper Qian, how are you? Do you have any clues?"
Qian Sheng reached out and pressed his temples, shaking his head.
"The pinyin is too general. Is it Feng, Feng, Feng, or Feng? It's all possible. The key is that none of the clients I deal with have this surname.
However, based on my experience in dealing with these Xiangjiang businessmen, this kind of operation is usually caused by the buyer trying to hide his identity deliberately, just like the 'old superman' who built a bright moon in Xiangjiang in order to 'commemorate' his deceased wife. building.
When the foundation was laid, someone collected a batch of old soul-soothing magic weapons from Panjiayuan and brought them back.
Although he didn't collect it himself, those of us who do business know what's going on. "
