Lin Miao put down the keyboard and sighed. What a persistent weirdo.
I have been searching for an ancient coin all my life, but I am not so interested in my girlfriend. If the aunt knew this, she would have to sell all his treasures for scrap copper.
Lin Miao couldn't help but think of what his father, Lord Yin Lin of Shuntian Prefecture, often said. Having hobbies is a good thing and can cultivate your sentiments, but you must not be addicted. Otherwise, if you fall in, you won’t be able to get out.
The old man in my family is a typical example. He has loved calligraphy since he was a child, is proficient in Wei stele, and is good at writing in thin gold calligraphy. When I see a good inscription, I feel like my heart is scratching my head.
Although Lin Miao is young, he is good at calligraphy. His father taught him step by step since he was a child. He has seen a lot of good things.
From her father, she can especially understand the uncle's mood.
"Xingzi, many customers want to buy individual ancient coins. In this regard, could you contact Mr. Yang and send some bulk goods?" Lin Miao asked.
Sun Xing scratched her head and said: "I have told Mr. Yang on WeChat that Mr. Yang is very busy and cannot take care of this matter. I can only wait for him to finish his work."
Less than three days after Xinghe Collection went online, one hundred and twenty-one ancient coins from the Ming Dynasty that had never appeared before attracted widespread attention from the market and academic circles.
Lots of phone calls came in asking about the situation. The six busy people couldn't even answer the phone. There are even experts requesting on-site identification.
Sun Xing refused them all. Are you kidding? It's nothing to ship Baoli before it's released.
As for those who want to come here for appraisal by themselves, you should rest well. There is a Baoli expert team here, and you are still needed for appraisal. One or two are still awesome.
Yang Fan specifically warned Sun Xing that the truly skilled people in the antique business are not the experts, but the antique merchants who open shops and do business.
The reason is simple. What experts say is so exciting, do they dare to buy it themselves? How much is this worth, how much is that worth. This one has room for appreciation, and that one has room for appreciation.
The key is whether you dare to buy it yourself. If you make your own conclusion, you won’t dare to buy it yourself, let alone others. For those experts who never buy, just listen to their appraisal.
But don't take it seriously.
The reason is very simple. If you don't take risks, you won't be able to achieve your true level. Antique dealers invest real money. If you make a mistake, you may even lose everything. And what can the experts do if they get it wrong? They should be so cautious when opening their mouths.
So Yang Fan asked Sun Xing to listen to Baoli's expert opinions. Every appraisal they made would bring direct benefits or losses to the company.
Absolute dereliction of duty and nonsense.
In the past few days, various forums in the ancient coin circle have been unprecedentedly popular, and they are all discussing the origin and background of these ancient coins.
Great minds from all walks of life and academia have written posts to analyze these ancient coins that have appeared for the first time. Xinghe Collection has already become famous even before it officially opens.
Three days later, the appraisal results came out. All the ancient coins were genuine from the Ming Dynasty, not a single one was fake. Even Baoli's experts from the Guquan Group were impressed. The legendary young master was really extraordinary, and everything he sent was true.
But it's not surprising. It is said that this person is a master who even Huang Lao and others praised for his fear of future generations. The big table in the manager's office has made Yang Fan a legend at Baoli Auction House.
On the other side, the design and art designers have already made several plans, and finally Huang Ying and Sun Xing chose a plan based on Chinese red.
After all, according to the Five Virtues, Ming Dynasty always has the fire virtue. In the Ming Dynasty, clothing was still red. This is the most appropriate tone.
At the same time, this is a gift to thank customers at the end of the year, and the red color is also more festive.
On the fifth day, the brochure sample was rushed out, and Sun Xing and Huang Ying put forward some suggestions for improvement before finalizing it.
A week later each coin with its identification certificate was put into the full album.
The outer packaging design is very antique. A pair of small book boxes made of Burmese red rosewood.
The final version is set to consist of sixteen volumes. A volume from the late Yuan Dynasty was merged with the Taichang Dynasty. Because in the Taichang Dynasty there was only one copper coin minted by the government and none minted by the people. This way, it is exactly divided into two boxes, with eight volumes in one box.
The deep red rosewood is carefully polished with beautiful wood grain. The pure copper accessories are shining with gold, and the hollow carvings with chilong patterns are very high-end.
This set of boxes is worth more than eight thousand.
At the same time, Baoli's publicity also began to unfold, and market enthusiasm was instantly ignited.
After discussions between Baoli and Xinghe, the final price was determined at 666,666 yuan. After all, there are quite a few rare ancient coins worth over 10,000 yuan here. Coupled with the fact that one hundred and twenty-one ancient coins appeared for the first time, the industry unanimously commented that this price is seriously underestimated. The value will definitely increase in the future.
Sun Xing contacted Yang Fan to report the situation, and Yang Fan temporarily granted her another five hundred thousand in cash. After all, the packaging and planning costs are not low.
Regarding pricing, Yang Fan also supports this price, which is equivalent to a 20% discount from the market price. The more than one hundred ancient coins that appeared for the first time cannot be priced at present. They are directly priced at one thousand yuan each. After they are issued, the market will automatically return them to a reasonable price. The price recognized by the market is the effective price.
Yang Fan said: "Xinghe Collection has just been established. This is the time to cultivate customers instead of killing them. So making money is not the first priority. If you want to form a good reputation, you must do one thing, which is to buy Xinghe’s products will appreciate in value every year from now on, instead of depreciating.”
When customers discover that we have accurately positioned the market and launched products that will appreciate in value in the future, they will naturally become fans of Xinghe Collection and will enthusiastically buy every new product released in the future.
As soon as Baoli's promotional videos and pictures went online, the market became very popular. This grand collection is so beautiful.
Especially the set of mahogany book boxes is so eye-catching. The beautiful wood grain shines with burgundy light, and the exquisite copper corners and copper locks are extremely exquisite.
When you open the book box, the complete volumes of the dynasties are very exquisite, and on each page there is one or more ancient coins placed in the organic plastic box. The front and back of the box are transparent, so you can clearly appreciate the front and back of the ancient coin.
The page design is gorgeous, and the ancient coins are introduced in detail with pictures and texts. It's a pleasure to look at. It seems that the two hundred and eighty-year history of the Ming Dynasty is slowly unfolding.
The launch of the promotional video directly ignited market enthusiasm. Baoli only accepted applications from internal customers, which attracted a lot of dissatisfaction.
Even a large number of foreign players and senior collectors have applied.
One hundred sets ordered by Baoli went on sale on the same day. It was snapped up by its own internal customers. The buyer knew very well that this set of encyclopedias had great room for appreciation and was undervalued.
Huang Ying urgently ordered 500 more sets from Sun Xing, and they were sold out again in three days.
The price of hundreds of thousands is not unaffordable for domestic players. Voices of dissatisfaction flooded the Internet, and bad-tempered Tibetan friends even cursed.
After Sun Xing discussed with Huang Ying, they decided to give Huang Ying one hundred sets, and the remaining three hundred sets would be accepted from non-Baoli customers on the Xinghe Collection APP, Black Cat.com, Yanxi.com, and Taotao.com online stores. Apply.
The scolding from the market ended, and the three hundred units were sold out within a week. Tibetans who did not buy it were very upset and angry. Sun Xing had no choice but to sell all the goods.
She can only reassure everyone that bulk goods will be released in the future, so please wait patiently.
As for the complete collection of Ming Dynasty ancient coins, it is really gone. After all, it is really difficult to collect so many ancient coins.
Sun Xing was very busy during this period. This time, all one thousand sets were sold, and she was relieved. She felt exhausted. She took two days off, stayed in the dormitory, and slept for two days before she could rest.
