Live broadcast antique city, others will miss your wholesale?
Chapter 186 Dunhuang Suicide Note
"It's much more comfortable to sleep on."
Yu Qingqian woke up from the hotel bed.
He rubbed his sore neck and stretched his muscles.
It felt like he was resurrected.
"I don't know how Xiao Su is doing shopping on Hollywood Street, but don't get into any more trouble."
Yu Qingqian said this, but his heart was a little complicated.
I am afraid that my friends will suffer hardship, and I am also afraid that my friends will drive Land Rover.
Don't let that guy take advantage of his absence to do wholesale business in the antique street with sacks.
Then he will lose money!
Picking up the mobile phone on the bedside table, he opened the live streaming app in a daze.
In the picture, Su Bai is introducing the Bible.
Yu Qingqian rubbed his eyes and looked at the time.
Unbelievable.
After just an hour's nap, that guy Su Bai missed it again!
"You're so excited, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Yu Qingqian shook his head.
Isn’t it just a Bible?
Nothing.
Not a big leak.
Immediately afterwards, he heard the words breeches version of the Bible.
His eyes gradually widened.
Medieval antique!
I go!
Another big leak!
Are all the antique dealers on Hollywood Road blind?
This kind of big leak can be sold to others at will!
If I had known earlier, I would have gone shopping with Su Bai!
Yu Qingqian regretted it in his heart!
But it's too late to regret it now.
At this age, I still need to be calmer.
It's hard to calm down.
Getting ready to make a pot of tea.
I heard a "pat-ta-ta-ta" sound in the live broadcast room.
Why is it so familiar?
Yu Qingqian couldn't help but look back and glanced at the phone screen on the table.
At this sight, his eyes widened.
Zippo lighter!
Right angle!
It's a prototype!
Listening to the introduction again, it turned out to be the black model that I had been longing for day and night!
Yu Qingqian was no longer calm.
I stopped making tea, picked up my phone, and immediately left a message in the live broadcast room.
"I want this black Zippo, don't sell it to anyone else!"
Yu Qingqian's barrage was quickly submerged in the live broadcast room screen.
Fortunately, Su Bai had sharp eyes and saw his message right away.
But she suddenly had the idea of teasing Boss Yu.
He directly ignored Yu Qingqian's message.
Xuxiao smiled and said: "Just now a friend in the live broadcast room offered 50 yuan to buy this lighter. I can consider it."
【I go! 50!That rich brother, stand up and take a look! 】
[No, I’ve searched, and other models of this lighter only cost tens of thousands of yuan. 】
[Didn’t the anchor say that the one she has is special and is an unreleased version. 】
[Things are rare and valuable, and if they are not on sale, they will definitely be even rarer! 】
When Yu Qingqian heard this, he was completely panicked.
I was so busy that I bought a gift in the live broadcast room.
[Xiao Su, I’ll pay 60 for this lighter!Never sell it to anyone else! 】
"Oh? It's Boss Yu. If you really want this lighter, just tell me. Why bother with giving it as a gift? You don't want to see anyone else."
Seeing Boss Yu take the bait, Su Bai said with a smile.
Yu Qingqian was speechless.
There are so many people in your live broadcast room, how can you see it without sending messages through gift messages?
But since Su Bai agreed to him, there was no need to worry about the lighter being snatched away.
Yu Qingqian breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he got up and went to make tea.
I got a gift for nothing and gave Boss Yu a lot of money.
Su Bai suddenly felt very good.
Suddenly, the smell of burnt milk wafted towards me.
Looking up, there was a small shop selling egg waffles not far away.
Su Bai's stomach made a growling sound.
The curry fish balls are indeed not filling!
This scent arouses greed!
Without thinking much, she went directly to the shop and ordered an egg waffle ice cream.
It's time to enjoy the meal.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a man walking towards him.
Standing in front of Su Bai.
The man is tall, wearing a suit, and looks slightly thin.
What Su Bai found strange was the man's face.
He looks quite straight, but his facial features have a bit of Caucasian characteristics.
Fair skin, high nose bridge, brown pupils.
"It turns out to be a skewer."
Su Bai muttered.
The other party didn't speak, just stared blankly.
Su Bai felt a little uncomfortable.
Su Bai was a little unhappy and was the first to break the silence: "Sorry, I don't buy insurance."
As he spoke, he waved his hand and motioned for the other person to go away quickly.
He was wearing a Burberry suit and was clearly not an insurance salesman.
But Su Bai said this to deliberately ridicule the other party.
Who told him to stare at others unscrupulously.
It's so impolite.
The man was stunned, with a dark look on his face.
After a long while, he said in broken Mandarin: "I am not selling insurance."
"Oh? If you don't sell insurance, why are you standing in front of me?"
Su Bai looked at the man, pretending to be confused.
"I want to ask, where did you buy the hairpin on your head?"
The man asked, pointing to the hairpin on Su Bai's head.
When Su Bai touched his hair, he remembered that he had not taken off the hairpin.
It turned out that the other party was interested in his hairpin.
I have a pretty good eye.
She smiled calmly and said, "I just bought it in the store."
"Can you resell it to me?"
Men are not long-winded and get straight to the point.
"Huh? You want?"
"Yes, my mother once had a pair of these hairpins, but she lost one of them. I want to buy it for her."
the man explained.
"Okay, if the price is right, no problem."
Su Bai brought the hairpin just on a whim.
I still have to sell it when I go back.
Someone took the initiative to buy it, which saved her a lot of trouble.
"How about 10?"
The man offered a price.
Su Bai shook his head without even thinking about it: "70."
"So expensive?"
The man was shocked and turned to look at Su Bai: "Do you know me?"
"Why do you think so?"
Su Bai asked back.
The man didn't know where his confidence came from. He straightened his collar and said, "Sell me this hairpin. If you encounter trouble on Ao Island in the future, you can ask me to help you solve it."
"70."
Su Bai had no intention of changing his words.
The man frowned.
It's not like he can't get out 70.
But the other party obviously sees himself as a rich man.
Prepare to be killed severely.
"You don't think I'm trying to trick you, do you?"
Seeing that the other party was silent, Su Bai asked bluntly.
When the man heard this, his face turned red.
He didn't deny it and said, "Since you know, it's cheaper. I'm not the one who was taken advantage of."
You can buy better hairpins at any jewelry store.
He is willing to spend 10 yuan to acquire it, which is already a sign of face.
Su Bai shook his head: "Selling this hairpin for 70 yuan is not expensive."
When a man is happy, it is not just ordinary jewelry.
It's so funny that they say it's an antique.
Would a normal person run around wearing antique jewelry?
"Can't you find another way to raise the price?"
The man smiled instead of getting angry.
"You don't believe it? You can ask someone to identify it."
Su Bai glanced at the other party and spoke slowly.
"Okay, let's check it out."
The man readily agreed, pointed in one direction and said, "There is an antique shop in front of you. I can help you identify it."
Su Bai said: "You pay the appraisal fee."
"..."
The man was a little speechless, and after a while he said: "I know the boss."
Under the guidance of the man, Su Bai walked into a Western antique store.
Unlike traditional antique stores, this antique store focuses on medieval jewelry.
The counter in the store displays a wide variety of gold jewelry from various countries, from European to West African.
Su Bai was not used to this style.
Or the Chinese antique store is more elegant and echoes her aesthetic.
A fat white man heard the bell ringing at the door and stood up to greet the guests.
"Oh, Mr. He, it's been such a long time!"
The white shopkeeper looked excited when he saw the visitor.
He speaks fluent Cantonese.
It is almost impossible to imagine that this is a foreigner without looking at the face.
The white shopkeeper shook the man's hand enthusiastically, like a good friend who had known him for many years.
Only then did Su Bai learn that the man next to him was named He.
Unlike the shop owner, Mr. He behaved indifferently, even a little perfunctory: "Long time no see, Mr. Edward."
"Is this Miss...?"
Edward looked at Su Bai and asked.
Only then did Mr. He remember that he had forgotten to ask Su Bai's name, and said a little apologetically: "Miss, what is your surname?"
"The last name is Su."
Su Bai said simply.
"Ms. Su is a mainland tourist?"
Edward was slightly surprised when he heard Su Bai speaking Mandarin.
"Yes."
Su Bai replied casually.
"Please take a seat, I happen to have good black tea here."
Edward did not promote the products in the store, but invited the two of them to take a seat first.
Make tea for guests yourself.
Su Bai nodded and sat on the sofa.
I found a cardboard box on the big table in the store.
The contents of the box were scattered on the table.
It looked like the shopkeeper, Edward, had just been sorting out the goods.
Suddenly, Su Bai's eyes were attracted by the items in the box.
I couldn't help but ask: "Is that ivory?"
Edward did not deny it and said with a calm smile: "Yes, there are also rhinoceros horns. They are all antiques imported from England."
Su Bai smiled and said nothing.
Ivory and rhino horn products can be sold legally if they are labeled as antiques.
What surprised her even more were some red bone sculptures in the box.
"And the red crane crown."
Su Bai murmured.
Netizens in the live broadcast room heard this term and instantly thought of their previous experience of picking up leaks.
New fans asked questions, old fans answered their questions, and the traditional drama was performed as scheduled.
"Miss Su knows a lot."
Edward on the side praised him in broken Mandarin.
At the same time, he brought a cup of black tea: "Miss Su, please use it."
"It's just a little knowledge."
Su Bai waved his hand modestly.
"By the way, I came to your store this time to let you appraise a piece of jewelry."
Mr. He didn't seem to be interested in these dental bone products and got straight to the point. "What is it? Show me."
Not only did Edward not mention the appraisal fee, but he was quite interested.
Mr. He looked at Su Bai.
"it is this."
Su Bai took off the hairpin from his head and placed it on the table.
Edward didn't ask any more questions, he put the hairpin in his hand and looked at it.
After looking at it for a while, it seemed that it was not clear.
Edward took out a pair of magnifying glasses from the cabinet under the table.
"How about it? Is this hairpin an antique?"
Seeing that Edward didn't speak for a long time, Mr. He couldn't help but ask.
"From the appearance, this is an early hairpin issued by Cartier, which can be regarded as an antique."
Edward replied in the affirmative.
Mr. He was slightly stunned.
Unexpectedly, Su Bai did not deceive him.
It’s just that 40 years seems a bit short for antiques.
He asked again: "So how much do you think this hairpin is worth?"
Edward did not answer directly, but introduced: "This Cartier hairpin is inlaid with green and white diamonds. Judging from the decoration, it should have been a pair. If both hairpins are present, it is estimated to be around 200 million."
"200?"
Mr. He was shocked.
On average, one card is worth 100 million!
This is higher than what Su Bai offered!
Edward continued: "Of course, there is only one hairpin now, so the valuation is naturally lower, probably around 80 million."
Now Mr. He finally understood that Su Bai was not exaggerating.
On the contrary, a reasonable price was given.
"Miss Su, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
Mr. He apologized readily.
"Well, I can buy this hairpin for 80 yuan, do you think that's okay?"
"I promised you before, 70 is enough."
"Refreshingly, I have made you a friend."
Mr. He is not short of that little money.
It was Su Bai's attitude that surprised him.
This was the first time he saw someone who was rich but not earning money.
Su Bai asked again: "Do you want a brooch? It's also a set."
"And the brooch?"
Mr. He was slightly surprised.
He had only seen his mother wearing this hair accessory, but he didn't expect there to be a brooch.
Originally, he asked Su Bai to buy hairpins as a birthday gift for his mother.
Seeing Su Bai take out the brooch from the bag, he immediately became interested: "Okay, if it's a set, I'll take it too."
The shop owner Edward immediately gave the identification result of the brooch.
"Genuine, around $15."
"Row."
Mr. He was in a good mood and paid the money together.
[Wait a minute, how much did the host just spend on these accessories? 】
[I remember it was only ten or twenty thousand, right? 】
[2 yuan changed hands and made nearly 200 million?What a huge profit! 】
[It turns out that this is the anchor who picked up the leaks, which is quite a lot of experience. 】
The new viewers were shocked.
Only old fans take it for granted.
Said that this was just Su Bai's routine operation.
Not worth mentioning.
Mr. He didn't bargain, he just transferred the money and paid.
The two signed a resale agreement in Edward's store.
When Edward saw the two of them completing the transaction, he rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "Mr. He, my store happened to have a lot of goods from the UK today. Do you want to take a look too?"
"Okay, let's take a look."
Mr. Ho nodded.
He came to Antique Street just to buy a birthday gift for his mother.
The acquisition of Su Bai's jewelry was just an unexpected gain.
Su Bai did not leave.
Instead, he kept staring at the cardboard box on the table.
It’s not about looking at wild animal products such as ivory or rhino horn.
Instead, he was reading tattered ancient books.
Dunhuang suicide note!
How could this thing appear on Hong Kong Island!
Su Bai tried his best to calm down and not let the people present see his excitement.
Edward only thought she was somewhat interested in his shipment.
In addition, Su Baigang has an income of one million, so he is also a potential customer.
Naturally, I have no intention of driving people away.
"Ms. Su, if you don't mind, take a look. The store guarantees that they are all genuine."
He offered to introduce.
"Can you get started? I want the audience in the live broadcast room to see it clearly."
Su Bai asked.
Edward nodded: "Please feel free to do so."
It is not uncommon for young people to engage in live broadcasting nowadays.
His niece is a game anchor.
The live broadcast is equivalent to free advertising for his store.
Is there any reason not to agree?
Edward even mentioned the address of his shop in front of the camera, hoping that viewers would not forget to visit his shop when traveling to Hong Kong Island.
"This comb looks nice. Is it made of tortoise shell?"
Su Bai ignored the ancient book and picked up a half-moon-shaped tortoise shell comb and asked.
Edward's attention was successfully diverted to the comb: "Yes, this should be a silver-inlaid tortoise shell comb made in Nanyang in the early 20th century. It is a native 'Nonya' product."
"If you like it, miss, I can give it to you as a meeting gift."
Edward saw Su Bai's eyes shining and seemed to like the tortoise comb very much, so he said with a smile.
"That won't work. Business is business, and you still have to pay."
Su Bai waved his hand and continued to ask: "How much, I will transfer it to you."
"Twenty thousand is enough, just make a friend. As for the money, we can settle the matter together later."
Edward said cheerfully.
Su Bai nodded with satisfaction.
The price is very reasonable.
It's even more favorable than the market price identified by the system.
Presumably Edward wanted to keep her as a customer.
"Oh? There are also old books."
Su Bai put down the tortoiseshell comb and pretended to see some ancient books inadvertently.
Picked it up and started flipping through it.
"Why Chinese?"
She glanced twice, raised her head and asked in surprise.
Edward spread his hands: "I didn't notice the ones mixed in the box."
Su Bai did not directly ask about the price.
Instead, he put down the Dunhuang suicide note, took out the breeches version of the Bible from his bag, and placed it on the table.
"I happen to have an ancient book in my hand. Could you please Mr. Edward to help me identify it?"
She said with a smile.
"Noproblem!"
Edward's eyes lit up when he saw the cover.
An old version of the Bible may actually be a treasure.
When he opened the breeches version of the Bible, he became more and more excited.
Even his breathing was noticeably faster.
Su Bai saw it and inadvertently raised the corners of his lips.
It's this effect.
"This is the breeches version of the Bible, issued in the 16th century. It is a very rare version!"
Edward obviously knew more about Western antiques, and he could tell the origin of the breeches version of the Bible at a glance.
He did not hide anything and told Su Bai straightforwardly the results of the appraisal.
"Ms. Su, can this Bible be transferred to me?"
Edward held the Bible and was excited.
In order to get this Bible, I even lowered my body a little.
"Well...I'm not too short of money."
Su Bai showed an expression of surprise and hesitation.
It looked like she was just using it for appraisal and had no intention of selling it.
Edward hurriedly said: "Well, you can take a look in my store. If there are any antiques you like, I can exchange them with you for this Bible."
Su Bai looked around and nodded.
Edward was overjoyed when he saw this.
"Mr. Edward, I'd better estimate the price of this Bible first, lest I end up looking at some antique that exceeds the value of this Bible. That would be bad."
Su Bai pretended to be cautious.
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if it exceeds a certain amount."
Edward said generously.
However, he still valued the breeches version of the Bible at 100 million.
In other words, Su Bai can choose antiques worth 100 million in the store to exchange for this Bible.
Su Bai had no objection and picked out the carton in front of him.
She first picked out an onyx ring.
Wear it on your finger and show that you can't put it down.
Then I picked a golden antique pocket watch at the counter, which was made in Switzerland in the 17th century.
The valuation given by the system is 40.
It's still a little short of the price of 100 million.
She turned twice more.
Picked up some odds and ends.
The total of zero and zero adds up to almost 80.
"That's all for now. Mr. Edward can give you an estimate."
Su Bai placed the selected antiques in front of Edward.
Edward glanced at it and said, "Miss Su, can you choose another 20 yuan worth of antiques, or can I give you 20 yuan in cash?"
Out of his love for the Bible, Edward had no intention of taking advantage of Su Bai.
The quote given was very reasonable.
"It's a little bit worse..."
Su Bai rubbed his chin, thinking.
He glanced at the table and picked out a bone sculpture.
At the same time, he picked up the Dunhuang suicide note on the table and asked, "How can I sell these ancient books?"
Edward was a little surprised, obviously he didn't expect Su Bai to pick these crappy books.
However, he still said truthfully: "I don't know the origin of these ancient books. I am planning to find someone knowledgeable to appraise them. I don't know how much they are worth at the moment."
"I think the writing on it is good. It should be a treasure. Sell it to me."
Su Bai asked tentatively.
Edward hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "Okay, these books count as 15."
If the ancient books were a complete set, they might fetch a high price.
But it is obvious that there is no connection between these ancient books.
The value of a broken copy like this is naturally much lower.
There won't be many interested buyers.
Besides, his antique shop sells all Western antiques.
Even after getting someone to identify them, it would seem a bit inappropriate to sell these ancient books in a store.
It would be better to sell it directly to Su Bai.
Anyway, no matter how high the value of these ancient books is, how much higher can it be?
Both parties were very satisfied with the deal and quickly agreed to an exchange agreement.
[The anchor hummed a little tune and seemed to be in a good mood. Did he secretly miss it again? 】
[A treasure bought with 100 million Bibles, are you sure you won’t lose money? 】
[Is Boss Yu still in the live broadcast room?Tell me what is valuable. 】
The old fans in the live broadcast room seemed to feel that something was wrong when they saw Su Bai's actions.
A guy who only picks up antiques, actually exchanges antiques with others normally.
So abnormal!
But Edward didn't know this.
I thought I was making a lot of money.
Although the estimate of the breeches version of the Bible is 100 million, it is not impossible to sell it for double if you meet a customer who likes it.
He met many wealthy people in the church.
They are all potential buyers of this Bible.
Sell it to them when you get the chance!
"By the way, where did these antiques come from?"
Su Bai asked, pointing to the cardboard box.
"Can you introduce him to me? I want to see if he has any other antiques."
There are more than 2 Dunhuang suicide notes in total.
Perhaps the person selling these Dunhuang suicide notes still has some in stock.
How much can be collected.
Edward thought for a moment and said: "His name is Charles, he is a second-rate dealer, but that guy runs around all day long, and only God knows where he is."
"In other words, even Mr. Edward can't find him?"
Su Bai said regretfully.
"No, you can ask Mr. He for help."
Edward suddenly remembered something and looked at Mr. He.
Yu Qingqian woke up from the hotel bed.
He rubbed his sore neck and stretched his muscles.
It felt like he was resurrected.
"I don't know how Xiao Su is doing shopping on Hollywood Street, but don't get into any more trouble."
Yu Qingqian said this, but his heart was a little complicated.
I am afraid that my friends will suffer hardship, and I am also afraid that my friends will drive Land Rover.
Don't let that guy take advantage of his absence to do wholesale business in the antique street with sacks.

He directly ignored Yu Qingqian's message.
Xuxiao smiled and said: "Just now a friend in the live broadcast room offered 50 yuan to buy this lighter. I can consider it."

Seeing Boss Yu take the bait, Su Bai said with a smile.
Yu Qingqian was speechless.
There are so many people in your live broadcast room, how can you see it without sending messages through gift messages?
But since Su Bai agreed to him, there was no need to worry about the lighter being snatched away.

Unlike the shop owner, Mr. He behaved indifferently, even a little perfunctory: "Long time no see, Mr. Edward."
"Is this Miss...?"
Edward looked at Su Bai and asked.
Only then did Mr. He remember that he had forgotten to ask Su Bai's name, and said a little apologetically: "Miss, what is your surname?"
"The last name is Su."
Su Bai said simply.
"Ms. Su is a mainland tourist?"
Edward was slightly surprised when he heard Su Bai speaking Mandarin.
"Yes."
Su Bai replied casually.
"Please take a seat, I happen to have good black tea here."
Edward did not promote the products in the store, but invited the two of them to take a seat first.
Make tea for guests yourself.
Su Bai nodded and sat on the sofa.
I found a cardboard box on the big table in the store.
The contents of the box were scattered on the table.
It looked like the shopkeeper, Edward, had just been sorting out the goods.
Suddenly, Su Bai's eyes were attracted by the items in the box.
I couldn't help but ask: "Is that ivory?"
Edward did not deny it and said with a calm smile: "Yes, there are also rhinoceros horns. They are all antiques imported from England."
Su Bai smiled and said nothing.
Ivory and rhino horn products can be sold legally if they are labeled as antiques.
What surprised her even more were some red bone sculptures in the box.
"And the red crane crown."
Su Bai murmured.
Netizens in the live broadcast room heard this term and instantly thought of their previous experience of picking up leaks.
New fans asked questions, old fans answered their questions, and the traditional drama was performed as scheduled.
"Miss Su knows a lot."
Edward on the side praised him in broken Mandarin.
At the same time, he brought a cup of black tea: "Miss Su, please use it."
"It's just a little knowledge."
Su Bai waved his hand modestly.
"By the way, I came to your store this time to let you appraise a piece of jewelry."
Mr. He didn't seem to be interested in these dental bone products and got straight to the point. "What is it? Show me."
Not only did Edward not mention the appraisal fee, but he was quite interested.
Mr. He looked at Su Bai.
"it is this."
Su Bai took off the hairpin from his head and placed it on the table.
Edward didn't ask any more questions, he put the hairpin in his hand and looked at it.
After looking at it for a while, it seemed that it was not clear.
Edward took out a pair of magnifying glasses from the cabinet under the table.
"How about it? Is this hairpin an antique?"
Seeing that Edward didn't speak for a long time, Mr. He couldn't help but ask.
"From the appearance, this is an early hairpin issued by Cartier, which can be regarded as an antique."
Edward replied in the affirmative.
Mr. He was slightly stunned.
Unexpectedly, Su Bai did not deceive him.
It’s just that 40 years seems a bit short for antiques.
He asked again: "So how much do you think this hairpin is worth?"
Edward did not answer directly, but introduced: "This Cartier hairpin is inlaid with green and white diamonds. Judging from the decoration, it should have been a pair. If both hairpins are present, it is estimated to be around 200 million."
"200?"
Mr. He was shocked.
On average, one card is worth 100 million!
This is higher than what Su Bai offered!
Edward continued: "Of course, there is only one hairpin now, so the valuation is naturally lower, probably around 80 million."
Now Mr. He finally understood that Su Bai was not exaggerating.
On the contrary, a reasonable price was given.
"Miss Su, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
Mr. He apologized readily.
"Well, I can buy this hairpin for 80 yuan, do you think that's okay?"
"I promised you before, 70 is enough."
"Refreshingly, I have made you a friend."
Mr. He is not short of that little money.
It was Su Bai's attitude that surprised him.
This was the first time he saw someone who was rich but not earning money.
Su Bai asked again: "Do you want a brooch? It's also a set."
"And the brooch?"
Mr. He was slightly surprised.
He had only seen his mother wearing this hair accessory, but he didn't expect there to be a brooch.
Originally, he asked Su Bai to buy hairpins as a birthday gift for his mother.
Seeing Su Bai take out the brooch from the bag, he immediately became interested: "Okay, if it's a set, I'll take it too."
The shop owner Edward immediately gave the identification result of the brooch.
"Genuine, around $15."
"Row."
Mr. He was in a good mood and paid the money together.
[Wait a minute, how much did the host just spend on these accessories? 】
[I remember it was only ten or twenty thousand, right? 】
[2 yuan changed hands and made nearly 200 million?What a huge profit! 】
[It turns out that this is the anchor who picked up the leaks, which is quite a lot of experience. 】
The new viewers were shocked.
Only old fans take it for granted.
Said that this was just Su Bai's routine operation.
Not worth mentioning.
Mr. He didn't bargain, he just transferred the money and paid.
The two signed a resale agreement in Edward's store.
When Edward saw the two of them completing the transaction, he rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "Mr. He, my store happened to have a lot of goods from the UK today. Do you want to take a look too?"
"Okay, let's take a look."
Mr. Ho nodded.
He came to Antique Street just to buy a birthday gift for his mother.
The acquisition of Su Bai's jewelry was just an unexpected gain.
Su Bai did not leave.
Instead, he kept staring at the cardboard box on the table.
It’s not about looking at wild animal products such as ivory or rhino horn.
Instead, he was reading tattered ancient books.
Dunhuang suicide note!
How could this thing appear on Hong Kong Island!
Su Bai tried his best to calm down and not let the people present see his excitement.
Edward only thought she was somewhat interested in his shipment.
In addition, Su Baigang has an income of one million, so he is also a potential customer.
Naturally, I have no intention of driving people away.
"Ms. Su, if you don't mind, take a look. The store guarantees that they are all genuine."
He offered to introduce.
"Can you get started? I want the audience in the live broadcast room to see it clearly."
Su Bai asked.
Edward nodded: "Please feel free to do so."
It is not uncommon for young people to engage in live broadcasting nowadays.
His niece is a game anchor.
The live broadcast is equivalent to free advertising for his store.
Is there any reason not to agree?
Edward even mentioned the address of his shop in front of the camera, hoping that viewers would not forget to visit his shop when traveling to Hong Kong Island.
"This comb looks nice. Is it made of tortoise shell?"
Su Bai ignored the ancient book and picked up a half-moon-shaped tortoise shell comb and asked.
Edward's attention was successfully diverted to the comb: "Yes, this should be a silver-inlaid tortoise shell comb made in Nanyang in the early 20th century. It is a native 'Nonya' product."
"If you like it, miss, I can give it to you as a meeting gift."
Edward saw Su Bai's eyes shining and seemed to like the tortoise comb very much, so he said with a smile.
"That won't work. Business is business, and you still have to pay."
Su Bai waved his hand and continued to ask: "How much, I will transfer it to you."
"Twenty thousand is enough, just make a friend. As for the money, we can settle the matter together later."
Edward said cheerfully.
Su Bai nodded with satisfaction.
The price is very reasonable.
It's even more favorable than the market price identified by the system.
Presumably Edward wanted to keep her as a customer.
"Oh? There are also old books."
Su Bai put down the tortoiseshell comb and pretended to see some ancient books inadvertently.
Picked it up and started flipping through it.
"Why Chinese?"
She glanced twice, raised her head and asked in surprise.
Edward spread his hands: "I didn't notice the ones mixed in the box."
Su Bai did not directly ask about the price.
Instead, he put down the Dunhuang suicide note, took out the breeches version of the Bible from his bag, and placed it on the table.
"I happen to have an ancient book in my hand. Could you please Mr. Edward to help me identify it?"
She said with a smile.
"Noproblem!"
Edward's eyes lit up when he saw the cover.
An old version of the Bible may actually be a treasure.
When he opened the breeches version of the Bible, he became more and more excited.
Even his breathing was noticeably faster.
Su Bai saw it and inadvertently raised the corners of his lips.
It's this effect.
"This is the breeches version of the Bible, issued in the 16th century. It is a very rare version!"
Edward obviously knew more about Western antiques, and he could tell the origin of the breeches version of the Bible at a glance.
He did not hide anything and told Su Bai straightforwardly the results of the appraisal.
"Ms. Su, can this Bible be transferred to me?"
Edward held the Bible and was excited.
In order to get this Bible, I even lowered my body a little.
"Well...I'm not too short of money."
Su Bai showed an expression of surprise and hesitation.
It looked like she was just using it for appraisal and had no intention of selling it.
Edward hurriedly said: "Well, you can take a look in my store. If there are any antiques you like, I can exchange them with you for this Bible."
Su Bai looked around and nodded.
Edward was overjoyed when he saw this.
"Mr. Edward, I'd better estimate the price of this Bible first, lest I end up looking at some antique that exceeds the value of this Bible. That would be bad."
Su Bai pretended to be cautious.
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if it exceeds a certain amount."
Edward said generously.
However, he still valued the breeches version of the Bible at 100 million.
In other words, Su Bai can choose antiques worth 100 million in the store to exchange for this Bible.
Su Bai had no objection and picked out the carton in front of him.
She first picked out an onyx ring.
Wear it on your finger and show that you can't put it down.
Then I picked a golden antique pocket watch at the counter, which was made in Switzerland in the 17th century.
The valuation given by the system is 40.
It's still a little short of the price of 100 million.
She turned twice more.
Picked up some odds and ends.
The total of zero and zero adds up to almost 80.
"That's all for now. Mr. Edward can give you an estimate."
Su Bai placed the selected antiques in front of Edward.
Edward glanced at it and said, "Miss Su, can you choose another 20 yuan worth of antiques, or can I give you 20 yuan in cash?"
Out of his love for the Bible, Edward had no intention of taking advantage of Su Bai.
The quote given was very reasonable.
"It's a little bit worse..."
Su Bai rubbed his chin, thinking.
He glanced at the table and picked out a bone sculpture.
At the same time, he picked up the Dunhuang suicide note on the table and asked, "How can I sell these ancient books?"
Edward was a little surprised, obviously he didn't expect Su Bai to pick these crappy books.
However, he still said truthfully: "I don't know the origin of these ancient books. I am planning to find someone knowledgeable to appraise them. I don't know how much they are worth at the moment."
"I think the writing on it is good. It should be a treasure. Sell it to me."
Su Bai asked tentatively.
Edward hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "Okay, these books count as 15."
If the ancient books were a complete set, they might fetch a high price.
But it is obvious that there is no connection between these ancient books.
The value of a broken copy like this is naturally much lower.
There won't be many interested buyers.
Besides, his antique shop sells all Western antiques.
Even after getting someone to identify them, it would seem a bit inappropriate to sell these ancient books in a store.
It would be better to sell it directly to Su Bai.
Anyway, no matter how high the value of these ancient books is, how much higher can it be?
Both parties were very satisfied with the deal and quickly agreed to an exchange agreement.
[The anchor hummed a little tune and seemed to be in a good mood. Did he secretly miss it again? 】
[A treasure bought with 100 million Bibles, are you sure you won’t lose money? 】
[Is Boss Yu still in the live broadcast room?Tell me what is valuable. 】
The old fans in the live broadcast room seemed to feel that something was wrong when they saw Su Bai's actions.
A guy who only picks up antiques, actually exchanges antiques with others normally.
So abnormal!
But Edward didn't know this.
I thought I was making a lot of money.
Although the estimate of the breeches version of the Bible is 100 million, it is not impossible to sell it for double if you meet a customer who likes it.
He met many wealthy people in the church.
They are all potential buyers of this Bible.
Sell it to them when you get the chance!
"By the way, where did these antiques come from?"
Su Bai asked, pointing to the cardboard box.
"Can you introduce him to me? I want to see if he has any other antiques."
There are more than 2 Dunhuang suicide notes in total.
Perhaps the person selling these Dunhuang suicide notes still has some in stock.
How much can be collected.
Edward thought for a moment and said: "His name is Charles, he is a second-rate dealer, but that guy runs around all day long, and only God knows where he is."
"In other words, even Mr. Edward can't find him?"
Su Bai said regretfully.
"No, you can ask Mr. He for help."
Edward suddenly remembered something and looked at Mr. He.
