Armchairs are very common. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, almost every household had one.
Of course, what we are talking about here is families above the landowner level, which are still very rare among ordinary people.
He Ren found it strange that this armchair was from the Republic of China. It was not made of good material. It was just chicken wing wood. There was no need to put it up for auction.
It’s not that wenge armchairs are worthless, after all they are mahogany.
The lowest grade mahogany is also mahogany!
If it is Qingming, the three-strip table, raised desk, flat desk, official hat chair, and rose chair are still worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.
The problem is that it can be sold at the same price even if it is sold, but it may fail to sell or be auctioned off at the lowest price. What are you trying to do?
A few people took a closer look and discovered the clues.
This is not an ordinary wenge wood, but a wenge wood root-carved armchair, which is different.
The armrests, backrests and chair legs are all made of wenge wood roots, and the seat surface is also made of wood roots.
It can be said that except for the seat surface and the materials added for fixation, everything else is made from a whole tree root. This is rare and requires extremely high materials and craftsmanship.
It's not too much to say that it's exquisitely crafted, but it's a pity that the materials are different. If it were made of huanghuali or red sandalwood, it might be sold for eight figures.
Even golden camphor or golden nanmu costs several million, which is a pity.
Of course, let’s not talk about whether there are such large huanghuali and red sandalwood tree roots. Even if there are, there are probably not many craftsmen who would dare to do this.
If it is destroyed, the loss will be too great.
Wenge wood doesn't have these worries. It only costs tens of thousands of yuan. After it is made, it can be worth two hundred thousand, so the price premium is not bad.
Appraisal Eye was similar to He Ren's guess, and gave a price of 150,000 to 200,000.
He Ren has no intention of taking action, he doesn't like mummy's things...
Fang Mingxuan liked it very much. He winked at Xu Qingjie. Xu Qingjie took the note, gel pen and envelope over with a low eyebrow. It seemed that he would pay for Fang Mingxuan later.
He Ren found it interesting that the second generation of rich people also sacrificed one thing for another. The old second generation of rich people were more powerful than the younger ones...
Fang Mingxuan felt much more comfortable buying things. He liked this armchair very much, so he directly paid 200,000 for it, which was considered a chokehold.
Soon the second round of secret auction ended, and Fang Mingxuan got the chicken wing wood root-carved armchair as he wished. Sure enough, it was Xu Qingjie who paid for it.
After the third round of secret auction lots came up, everyone took a casual look at them and decided to leave early. There was really nothing good.
He Ren was very disappointed with the secret shooting. He originally thought he could pick up big leaks, but he didn't expect there were so many fakes. Even the genuine ones were not of very good quality. They felt worse than those sold at street stalls. He was a little confused about the situation.
Fang Mingxuan understood clearly, "Secret auctions are all one-shot deals, there is no introduction, no bargaining, and the time is short, which reduces the buyer's thinking space. Many people want to try their luck, and it is normal for there to be a lot of fakes. For things that are truly valuable, sellers will still try their best to put them up for auction so they can make more money."
He Ren suddenly realized that what Fang Mingxuan said was actually rather vague. What he really meant was that no one would care anyway, and he could deceive everyone.
When he walked out of the warehouse door, He Ren blocked the dazzling sunlight with his hands.
Everything that happened in the past few hours had a big impact on him, but he still felt a little unreal. He had become a millionaire out of nowhere?
With these millions, He Ren can be regarded as having start-up capital. From now on, he only needs to participate in the black market once a month. Does that mean he will not be financially free?
No matter how bad things are, you can still open an antique and jade shop. With the help of plug-ins, He Ren can live a life of food and clothing.
To be honest, He Ren chose to live broadcast treasure appraisal at the beginning because he wanted to make money.
The ultimate goal of accumulating popularity and connections is to make money by picking up the slack. Now that his goal has been achieved, should he continue the live broadcast?
Liquidated damages are nothing to He Ren. He can completely afford the matter of a cricket jar.
There was a thunder on the ground, suddenly rich, and He Ren suddenly felt a little confused.
Zhang Nuo was extremely attentive. She noticed something strange about He Ren and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?"
He Ren frowned. He didn't know what to say, and he didn't know whether he should tell Zhang Nuo. After all, Zhang Nuo was Catfish's cousin, and Catfish was very good to He Ren...
After a moment of silence, He Ren finally said, "I have money."
Although He Ren didn't say much, Zhang Nuo already understood what He Ren meant. She bit her lip, "Then what? What are your plans? Revenge consumption? Or start your own business?"
"I……"
He Ren didn't expect Zhang Nuo to be so direct, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"You don't need to treat me as Catfish's cousin, just treat me as an ordinary friend and talk about your future plans."
"I haven't thought about it." He Ren scratched his head, "Maybe open a store? Maybe continue running around the country picking up leaks, maybe continue live broadcasting..."
Zhang Nuo suddenly asked, "Do you like live broadcasts?"
"like."
He Ren blurted out that this was not just nonsense to appease Zhang Nuo, he really liked the atmosphere of the live broadcast.
Perhaps because he grew up in an orphanage, He Ren actually has a low self-esteem and has few friends. He has always been lonely and he is also very afraid of loneliness.
So He Ren began to change himself, making himself humorous and interesting, taking the initiative to joke with classmates and colleagues, and making risqué remarks...
It can be said that He Ren fell in love with this method the first time he did a live broadcast, because there were many friends interacting with him and fighting with him, and there were also many friends who cared about him and liked him.
When He Ren performed a PK treasure appraisal live on "Dabaojian" before, many treasure friends kept cheering him on. This also made He Ren find a sense of accomplishment for the first time, and felt the love from strangers for the first time. Care, this feeling is even better than when you pick up something missing.
He Ren's eyes became firm. He looked at Zhang Nuo and said word by word, "I like live broadcast, I really like live broadcast."
Zhang Nuo smiled sweetly, "Then you can continue the live broadcast. Besides, the live broadcast does not prevent you from enjoying life. China is so big, you can pick up leaks while traveling. We can also go abroad to pick up leaks abroad. Isn't it more interesting? ?”
"Um."
He Ren nodded solemnly. He felt that what Zhang Nuo said made sense. People can't just lie down after they become rich.
After meeting the material conditions, you must also meet your spiritual pursuits. Now it seems that live broadcasting can bring you happiness, so continue to live broadcast. If one day, He Ren feels bored or finds something he likes to do more, then It's never too late to leave.
As for live broadcasting for Catfish or going it alone... To be honest, He Ren really didn't want to worry about letting He Ren go it alone.
You really can’t make much money from treasure appraising live broadcasts, and they can’t compare with those big anchors who easily earn nine or ten figures a year. In the gem and jade industry, if you want to make a lot of money, you have to fake it.
Now it seems that Catfish has no intention of cheating, and He Ren doesn't want to do it. After all, he is the chosen one with some tricks. It would be too shameful to get him to step in and step on the sewing machine...
