"Congratulations to the host for completing the permanent mission: successfully identifying 1,000 treasures and rewarding the evaluation system."
He Ren was stunned for a moment. Before he knew it, he had already identified a thousand treasures with his treasure-appraisal eye. That means he took the task a little late, otherwise he would have completed it long ago.
Then He Ren felt that he was in a good mood. He had reached the harvest season. He had completed two tasks in a row and had an unexpected surprise. It seemed that he was still the chosen one.
After taking another look at the experience of the beginner's treasure appraisal eye, He Ren's good mood was almost gone. Upgrading was far away...
"Boss? Boss?"
He Ren suddenly woke up and glanced at the two candlesticks in front of him again. This time, the price range was directly displayed on them, "400,000-500,000."
He Ren knew it well and asked, "Uncle, do you want to take action on this candlestick?"
The uncle nodded quickly, "Boss, did you say you could sell it for 400,000 yuan? Is that true?"
"It's true. It's almost the same price. If it goes up for auction, it might be a little higher, and the corresponding handling fee will also be higher."
The uncle never considered the auction at all and asked directly, "Boss, do you want it?"
"I definitely want it." He Ren held down the uncle who was about to get up, "But the ugly words are ahead. If we acquire it, we can only give you 350,000."
"Uh..." The uncle was stunned, and after a while he said, "Boss, didn't you just say 400,000?"
He Ren was happy, "Uncle, what I just said was the market price. We are running a store, so we have to leave some profit, right?"
There was hesitation on the uncle's face, and He Ren said with a smile, "You can also choose to leave it with us for consignment. I only charge a 10% handling fee."
The uncle still can't make up his mind. 10% of the 400,000 yuan is already 40,000 yuan. I don't know when it will be sold. Instead of doing this, it is better to sell it to He Ren directly for 350,000 yuan.
He Ren added, "You can also go to other places to look. If you want to put it up for auction, I suggest you go to a regular auction company. If someone asks you to pay publicity fees, appraisal fees, and catalog fees, don't believe them. , now many small auction companies have no qualifications at all, and they just cheat this money."
The old man took the pair of candlesticks and left. Some treasure friends didn't understand. They felt that He Ren was a little unhuman. The old man looked quite pitiful...
He Ren looked serious and explained, "I am open for business. Time, rent and labor are all costs. I must want to make money. If I charge things directly according to the market price, the selling price will have to increase. Too much If it's too high, no one will buy it, so am I not just being taken advantage of?"
"If this uncle is in trouble, I will help if I can, but I am not willing to do business at a loss."
Another Baoyou said that He Ren was a profiteer. He Ren smiled slightly and said, "Am I a profiteer? Believe it or not, it won't be long before the uncle has to come back and sell things to me. No one else can give him the price I have."
Naturally, there are still some treasure friends who don't believe it, and He Ren doesn't explain anymore. People who are not in this industry definitely don't know the inside story.
As for the pair of candlesticks just now, many bosses must be able to recognize them, but He Ren is sure that no one can offer a high price of 350,000, because the collection value of this thing in China is not high.
The simple truth is that there are too many porcelains in China!
For 350,000 yuan, you can buy a colorful candlestick with lotus pattern from the Qianlong period. The body, glaze, workmanship, and even the age are better than Mason's pair of candlesticks, and there is more room for appreciation.
Mason's porcelain is relatively easy to sell in Europe. This pair of candlesticks should be sold for 60,000 to 70,000 euros. After all, the control is strict now, and many Chinese porcelain cannot be taken out.
But here comes the question, how can the uncle go to Europe? Even if he goes, will he have sales channels? Aren't you afraid of being cheated?
He Ren wanted to collect the pair of candlesticks just to replenish the supply of goods. When he met a broker who wanted to go abroad to make a fortune, He Ren could take action and make a little money.
But this kind of thing is difficult to explain, and there will still be people who don't believe it. Just wait until the uncle comes back.
"Brother He...congratulations."
He Ren chatted with his treasure friends for a while, and a middle-aged man wearing a melon cap and a mustache walked in. He Ren was startled, then immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Shi, long time no see."
The person who came here was called Shi Dang. Like Zhou Zhou, he was also a broker. He had chatted with He Ren several times in the WeChat group before and wanted to take action to get the treasure that He Ren had missed. The terms were very favorable, even more favorable than Zhou Zhou.
However, in antique shops, people usually work hard rather than raw, so He Ren still handed over all the things to the turnover. However, Shi Dang's enthusiasm did not diminish, and he did not neglect He Ren because he failed to make business.
So He Ren still invited Shi Dang when he opened the business, but he was out of town at the time to buy an old house and couldn't come back. Unexpectedly, he came to the door the next day, and he came directly from the airport. He didn't even see what was left in his hand. Carrying a suitcase?
He Ren immediately asked Shi Dang to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and said, "Brother Shi, looking at your improvement, you must have gained a lot this time, right?"
"Where, where." Shi Dang waved his hand, "I bought a few old items. I heard that Brother He's new store has opened, so I just brought them over to show you."
Only then did He Ren realize that what was in Shidang's suitcase was not luggage, but the harvest of his trip...
Shi Dang opened the suitcase, and He Ren took a look. There were quite a lot of things inside, but after a quick glance, it seemed that there wasn't much good stuff. He Ren was a little disappointed.
Unexpectedly, Shi Dang swept aside all the things on top, took out two palm-sized stones from inside, and said with a smile, "The biggest harvest this time is them. Boss He, can you help me palm the eyes?"
Before He Ren could speak, the treasure friends were already confused, "Aren't these just two stones? Are they also treasures?"
"I read few books, don't lie to me. Stones are also the biggest gain?"
"What do you know? This may not be an ordinary stone. What if there is jade in it?"
He Ren was delighted, this was really a pillow given to him when he fell asleep. He smiled and explained, "A treasure friend is right, this is indeed not an ordinary stone, but it is not a raw jade stone, but the material of an inkstone. It is also called Inkstone material.”
The treasure friends were even more confused, "Paint? Host, please stop making trouble."
"It's not paint, it's the material used to make the inkstone." He Ren pointed to the top piece of material and said, "Have you heard of the Duan Inkstone? It's made from this thing."
He Ren glanced at Shi Dang again, "Brother Shi, how much did you get it for?"
Shi Dang's face smiled like a chrysanthemum, "Fifty thousand."
He Ren quickly handed over his hand, "Congratulations to Brother Shi. This material is from Laokeng or Shuikeng. It is the most expensive and best-quality material among the famous pits in Duanxi. Although the quality is average, it sells for seventy or eighty yuan." No problem at all.”
"Hiss~"
The treasure friends all gasped, they really didn't expect that a broken stone could be so valuable.
Shi Dang shook his head, "I can see a bit of something interesting in this piece of material, mainly the bottom one, I can't see it well..."
He Ren took away the inkstone on top, and then his brows wrinkled...
