Chapter 123 Losing Money Business
"Brother Feng, will you return this thing to him?"

Xie Xuan worked under the counter for a while, opened the safe that cost more than 4000 yuan, carefully carried out the gold-plated Buddha statue, and put it on the coffee table in the inner room.

This bronze gilt Buddha statue is a Buddha statue, no more than [-] centimeters high, with a lotus crown on its head, round face, fat cheeks, high forehead, dressed in a monk's branch, with cassock outside, a pleated skirt under the loose clothes, and hanging down. On the feet, it is a typical Sui and Tang bronze Buddha shape.

However, Leng Xiongfei obviously doesn't want to preserve cultural relics. This Buddha statue was supposed to be a fully gilded bronze Buddha, but now it has been weathered quite badly, and the gilt on the shoulders can no longer be seen.

"Brother Qin, do you still accept this... this thing?"

Looking at this gold-plated Buddha statue that he had worked so hard to get, Leng Xiongfei rubbed his hands, not knowing what to do with it.

After experiencing Xie Xuan's gangster incident, Leng Xiongfei has already had serious doubts about the so-called "jianghu experience" left by his grandfather. If he is hacked again, he is afraid that he will have to move to the construction site again. Bricked.

Compared with other merchants, Qin Feng is always considered a "communist", so after paying a lot of money, Leng Xiongfei decided to sell the gold-plated Buddha statue to "Wenbaozhai".

"receive!"

Qin Feng nodded, and said very simply: "I don't know what price you will offer, Brother Leng? If it suits, I will take it!"

There is also a reason why Qin Feng kept this gilt Buddha statue in his hands and did not sell it. First, it is easy to see that the Buddha statue is an unearthed cultural map, and the country's crackdown on the sale of unearthed cultural relics is very strong. .

Therefore, Qin Feng has to put the Buddha statue for a period of time first, and then repair the weathered place to turn it into a Buddha statue with an orderly inheritance, and then find a way to sell it.

Another point is that "Wen Bao Zhai" used to operate the Four Treasures of the Study, and Qin Feng also lacked channels for selling antiques and cultural relics.

These days, the little chubby Xie Xuan has been paying attention to who can become the object of antique trading, and even went to other people's shops to chat and talk nonsense, just to poach a customer.

But like that kind of high-end antique customers, each store has always been very precious. When there is a transaction, most of them are closed to thank customers. Some people even don't trade in the store at all, but go to their homes or teahouses and other places.

"This thing is gilded with gold, and it was taken out of a tomb..." Leng Xiongfei hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively, "How can it be worth ten thousand or eight thousand?"

Although I heard from my grandfather that he went to and from wealthy mansions before liberation, Leng Xiongfei was used to living in poverty since he was a child, and he never pretended to have more than 1000 yuan. In his mind, he is a millionaire That's a huge number.

"Brother Leng, are you sure?" Qin Feng smiled, looked at Leng Xiongfei, and said, "We do business by buying and selling, so don't regret it if you sell it!"

Buddhism is one of the three religions with the largest number of believers in the world. As the main Buddha statue enshrined in Buddhism, it has always been sought after by Buddhists from all over the world. Among these Buddhists, there are many wealthy businessmen.

As early as the 80s of last century, gilded Buddha statues attracted the attention of international collectors, which in turn led to the rise of domestic collection boom.

In November 1989, at Sotheby's auction in New York, a Ming Dynasty gilt Maitreya Buddha statue was sold for more than 11 US dollars, which attracted the attention of the international collection market.

After the 90s, major overseas auction companies began to increase the number and proportion of auctions of gilded Buddha statues year by year.

Just last year at Sotheby's auction, a Ming Dynasty gilt-bronze Guanyin was sold for HK$132 million, while at Christie's auction not long ago, a Ming Dynasty gilt Buddha statue was sold for HK$220 million.

The gilded Buddha statues of the Sui and Tang dynasties are slightly inferior to those of the Ming and Qing dynasties in terms of shape and craftsmanship, but they are also uniquely representative of the two dynasties with the most developed Buddhist culture.

According to Qin Feng's understanding of the current Buddha statue market, although this gold-plated Buddha statue has some flaws, its appearance is still relatively complete. If you can find a suitable buyer, 50 yuan will definitely be no problem.

So after hearing Leng Xiongfei's words, Qin Feng was also a little shocked. He really didn't expect that Leng Xiongfei came out to sell Buddha statues, and he didn't even know the price clearly, so he opened his mouth and asked for a cabbage price.

To be honest, Leng Xiongfei has a temper for Qin Feng.

Leng Xiongfei has a whole body of experience in the world, but Leng Xiongfei doesn't know how to use it. He actually got mixed up in the situation of working as a small worker on a construction site. This also shows that Leng Xiongfei is a relatively upright person, and he is not like some scumbags who do it for money. Killing one's life for one's wealth, doing anything and everything.

"Brother Qin, don't tease me, I really don't know the price."

Leng Xiongfei laughed wryly when he heard the words. It is true that he knows Fengshui, but he doesn't know anything about antique appraisal. This Buddha statue, which is worth a thousand gold in Qin Feng's eyes, is just a copper coin that can neither be eaten nor drunk. It's just a pimple.

The most important point is that Leng Xiongfei is a dark object.

Let alone [-], even [-] Leng Xiongfei is willing to make a move. Although tomb robbery has developed into an industry these days, it is still rare to see tomb robbers gangs that only produce and sell tombs.

Qin Feng's shop has shown its advantages at this time. Although it sells the four treasures of the study, it contacts with literati and refined scholars. There are also some bosses who play collections. Qin Feng sells these "shady" items. Channels, of course, are far from what Leng Xiongfei can compare.

"Brother Qin, why don't you do this? If you take 1 yuan from you, I won't be jealous of how much money you earn. If you don't make money, what do you think?"

Leng Xiongfei just lacks social experience, but it does not mean that he is stupid. As soon as Qin Feng said a few words, he immediately knew that his bid was low. Qualifications for bargaining.

Qin Feng pondered for a while, and said: "1 yuan is fine, but brother Leng, you have suffered a lot."

"Brother Feng, isn't ten thousand too expensive?"

After hearing Qin Feng's words, the little fat man gave him a look. Xie Xuan is also in charge of the store's finances. He hasn't made any money in a few months. If they spend another [-] yuan, they will all drink Northwest Wind. up.

Leng Xiongfei was terrified by Xie Xuan, and said weakly: "Or... 8000 yuan is fine..."

Qin Feng waved his hand and said, "Ten thousand is actually a big loss for you."

"Brother Feng, what's the matter with you today?"

Xie Xuan rolled his eyes when he heard the words, he really couldn't figure it out, Boss Feng wanted to send money to this kid for what he could have kept without spending a penny, this is not in line with Qin Feng's temperament of always plucking hairs?
"Xuanzi, don't talk."

Qin Feng restrained Xie Xuan's urge to question with a puzzled face, turned to look at Leng Xiongfei, and said, "Brother Leng, I have a plan, I wonder if you can accept it?"

"Brother Qin, if you have something to say, just say it, you are a man of the Tao, even if you want this Buddha statue, I will give it to you!"

Who said that Leng Xiongfei was careless, he said these few words because he was afraid that Qin Feng would be fooled, so he used words to squeeze the other party first, so that Qin Feng could dispel that idea.

Qin Feng shook his head, with a smile on his face, and said lightly: "Brother Leng, you really underestimate me. Although this thing is worth more than one hundred thousand, it is not in my eyes."

This gold-plated Buddha statue will greatly promote the study of Buddhist culture in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. If it goes to an auction, the starting price of 50 million yuan will not escape, and the final transaction price may also be 80 yuan. about.

The reason why Qin Feng offered a price of more than [-] yuan was because he couldn't send this thing to the auction, and the sellers of the things that were traded in private were just trying to get a cheap price, so naturally they couldn't sell them at such a high price.

"More than a hundred thousand?"

Qin Feng's words made Leng Xiongfei take a deep breath. Even though he was brave enough, he only offered a price of [-] yuan. Unexpectedly, the real value of this Buddha statue was even ten times higher.

"That's right, I guess it should be around 15..."

Qin Feng raised his hand, stopped Xie Xuan who was eager to speak, and then said: "But this thing has to meet buyers, it can't be sold in a day or two, maybe it will be in your hand for a month or two Even a year or two..."

Leng Xiongfei took a deep breath and said, "I understand, Brother Qin, I'll still say what I said just now, I'll sell it to you for 1 yuan, I don't care how much I earn."

"I haven't finished my sentence yet, Brother Leng, didn't I just say that I have a plan..."

Qin Feng changed the topic and said: "Brother Leng, you can put this thing in my store for consignment. After it is sold, I will take [-]% of the money as the handling fee for the consignment, and the other [-]% will be given to you." It belongs to you, Brother Leng."

"Sixty percent, 15, then... wouldn't that be 9 yuan?"

After hearing Qin Feng's words, Leng Xiongfei was a little dumbfounded, and looked at Qin Feng's young face in disbelief. Doesn't this person have a bad nerve?Why has he always thought of giving himself money since he talked about Buddha statues?
Not to mention Leng Xiongfei, even Xie Xuan couldn't figure it out. He was anxiously scratching his ears and cheeks. He had always defined himself as a profiteer. How could Qin Feng do business like this? ?
"Yes, it's 9 yuan." Qin Feng nodded.

"Brother Qin, I'm a straight-tempered person. If you want anything, just say it."

Leng Xiongfei was silent for a while, and straight to the point, he made it clear that after graduating from high school, he had been working for several years, and he knew that nothing would happen in the sky.

"Okay, brother Leng is refreshing, then I'll just say it straight." Qin Feng clapped his hands, turned his face to Xie Xuan and said: "Xuanzi, close the door, we won't be doing business today, let's go back to Yuanzi to talk. "

"Hey, Brother Feng, it's alright!"

Hearing Qin Feng's words, Xie Xuan's face immediately beamed with joy. What should I say, Brother Feng, who is astute to the core, is he the kind of person who does business at a loss?
