Baojian

Chapter 249 Negotiate
"Brother Qin, it's not that my brother wins people's beauty. You also know that I'm in the jade business. I like this stuff by nature. I can't pull it out when I see it."

Nie Tianbao joked with Qin Feng half-truthfully, but he really fell in love with this set of jades. Although zodiac jades are common, there are not many high-quality goods handed down in the world.

And the set of jades in front of me is not only the jade with the head of the zodiac that has never appeared before, but also the exquisite knife workmanship and elegant shape. Judging from the luster and patina of the jade, it is also a serious ancient jade handed down from generation to generation. A set of treasures.

Qin Feng laughed and said: "Boss Nie, I also intend to deal in jade wares. This set of things is for me to keep in the store, so don't think about it."

"You also want to run a jade store?" Nie Tianbao was taken aback when he heard the words. Before, he only heard that Zhou Lihong became Qin Feng's boss. He never knew what project Qin Feng was running.

"Have the idea."

Qin Feng nodded, and said: "However, the things I dabble in are quite complicated. Apart from jade, I also have a few pieces of calligraphy and paintings of celebrities and ceramics. Is it a grocery store?"

"Hey, my brother is really good, isn't he all-rounder?"

Qin Feng said it lightly, but Nie Tianbao didn't dare to really think that he opened a grocery store. Among other things, the status of Mr. Qi's disciple alone is enough for Qin Feng to gain a foothold in the antique world.

"Where, brother Nie is famous in the northern jade shop."

Qin Feng said politely, but there was a young man's complacent look on his face, and he said: "Although ancient jade is rare and precious, compared with ceramics and celebrity calligraphy and paintings, its recognition in the world is too high. Low, my store will still be in line with international standards in the future..."

"In line with international standards? Kid, don't you know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth?"

After hearing Qin Feng's words, Nie Tianbao lowered his head, but there was a sneer on his face. Having been in the jade business for so many years, he naturally knew that the birthplace of jade is in China, and Hetian jade is also unique to China.

As a category of jewelry, jewelry such as jade is still far behind diamonds, rubies and sapphires, which have won many awards at international jewelry exhibitions.

Especially Europeans basically do not recognize the status of jade in the jewelry industry, and even the popularity of jade in the West is much higher than that of Hetian jade.

There were also people who wanted to expand the jade business to the West, but compared with the crystal clear diamonds, the restraint and luster of jade cannot be recognized by Westerners.

On the contrary, Chinese porcelain, calligraphy and paintings have fetched high prices in many foreign auction houses in recent years, attracting the pursuit of many western collectors, which is why Qin Feng said those words.

However, due to various domestic restrictions on cultural relics, it is almost impossible to do business in the West, except for the only channel of smuggling.

You must know that the antiques circulated in the domestic collection circle also need to follow the cultural relics grading system.

Even if there are handed down works handed down from generation to generation, foreigners can't take them out of the customs after buying them. This protects the cultural relics from being lost, and also restricts the exchange of domestic artworks with the world.

So Qin Feng's words that are in line with international standards sounded like a joke to Nie Tianbao. If you can't sell domestic products, how can you be in line with international standards?It's just Qin Feng's wishful thinking.

"Brother Qin, your family has a big business. It's just a set of jade, so I'll transfer it to my brother."

After thinking about it, since Qin Feng has such a "magnificent goal", wouldn't he have a chance to win this set of jade?Nie Tianbao's face was filled with a smile, and he said, "Brother, as long as you are willing, I will definitely give you a satisfactory price!"

"Oh? Brother Nie, do you really want it?"

A look of hesitation appeared on Qin Feng's face, and he said, "I want to set up a shop in Panjiayuan recently, but I only have hundreds of thousands of cash on hand, so I really can't afford it."

"That's right, brother Qin, if you want to open an antique shop, it won't work if you don't have a shop with millions of dollars..."

Seeing that Qin Feng's mouth was loose, Nie Tianbao hurriedly urged: "Especially like you make celebrity calligraphy and paintings and ceramics, those items are very expensive."

This person, sometimes he forgets the pain when his scars are uncovered. Back then, Nie Tianbao was rushing to buy the jade that "Mazibian" was holding, but now he completely forgot about that matter, and he was so focused on getting the jade in front of him. The set of jade articles is in the bag.

"Forget it, Boss Nie, I don't know if you are interested in calligraphy and painting? How about... How about I sell you a painting by Qi Baishi?"

Qin Feng thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I still have a few pieces of calligraphy and paintings by modern masters, but this is the only set of jade wares. After selling this thing, I don't even have anything to sell..."

"Brother Qin, I'm in the jade business, so I don't know calligraphy and painting."

Nie Tianbao was a little anxious, and said, "I've also heard about Qi Baishi's calligraphy and paintings, which are sold by the foot, but his paintings are not large in size, and one painting costs 20 million yuan, right? This doesn't help you, little brother. It's urgent."

With the improvement of people's living standards, antiques have gradually become popular in the society in recent years. Unlike the 80s, where you can find good things everywhere, it is even more difficult to buy a favorite object now.

So Nie Tianbao's urgent mood is completely understandable. When some Tibetan friends communicate in private, if they come across something they like, they will chase the owner for several years.

"Brother, what you said is also..."

After hearing Nie Tianbao's words, Qin Feng showed a struggling look on his face, looked at the brocade box full of reluctance, and said hesitantly: "Actually, the pressure of money is not too great, and it is also a good idea to find some friends to raise money." Enough."

"Brother Qin, it's not that I'm talking strange things. The money is not my own, and it's not so easy to use it." Nie Tianbao is now focused on buying this set of jade, and has no idea that his current eating habits are already ugly. .

"Brother Nie, do you really want it?" Qin Feng touched the brocade box and looked at Nie Tianbao.

"Of course, Brother Qin, don't worry, I will definitely not lose you in terms of price!"

Nie Tianbao patted his chest. He could see how rare and precious this set of jades was. Even if the price was high now, he would definitely not suffer a loss when the jades rose in value in a few years.

"Then...then what price can you offer?"

Qin Feng gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Nie, our brothers will settle accounts clearly. I'll put my ugly words in front of you. If the price is lower, I won't sell it!"

Nie Tianbao stretched out two fingers, shook them in front of him, and said, "Brother Qin, what do you think of the price?"

"20?" Qin Feng tensed his face and said, "Brother Nie, are you playing with your brother? I'll sell you one for 20!"

The sale of ancient jade depends on the quality of the jade and the craftsmanship of the carver. In addition, the inheritance of ancient jade also depends on the kung fu of its pan jade. A piece of jade is all played with. A well-plated jade can even increase its value several times. .

In the current ancient jade market, the average toy pieces can be found in the millions if they are good, and they can be found for thousands of dollars if they are poor. The prices vary greatly, and the market is relatively chaotic.

This set of jade wares like Qin Feng's is made of high-quality Hetian jade, and each piece of jade has at least one color.

Among them, the dragon head human zodiac jade, from the dragon head to the human body, has a total of four colors. If it is not too small, if it is sold alone, it will cost at least 30 yuan.

"Hey, brother Qin, don't worry, I didn't say 20 to buy these items from you."

Seeing Qin Feng's anxious eyes, Nie Tianbao laughed instead, and said, "200 million, I'll take this set, brother Qin, what do you think, brother, this price is kind enough, isn't it?"

"200 million? This price is still low."

Qin Feng thought for a while, shook his head, opened the brocade box and said: "Brother Nie, it's not that I'm greedy. If this set of jade articles is sold separately, such as the dragon, tiger and the ox-monkey zodiac, they must be at least 30 years old. about ten thousand.

Although the other few are not as good as Dragon, Tiger, Ox, and Monkey, they are a set, and you know the rules in the industry, the price of orphaned products is high, and the same... This complete set is even more rare than orphaned products..."

Qin Feng put the lid on the brocade box while he was talking, and then said: "The price of 200 million yuan, I'd better keep it for myself, keep this thing in my hand for a few years, and then give it to the auction, I reckon At least it can be worth 500 million!"

"500 million, Brother Qin, you... Your price is too high, right?"

Nie Tianbao laughed wryly when he heard the words. He knew that 200 million yuan would not be enough for this set of jade, but the price Qin Feng offered was really unacceptable to him, after all, it was too high above the market price.

Nie Tianbao thought for a while, and said seriously: "Brother Qin, 300 million, I can give you 300 million at most. You also know that if this set of jade is in someone else's hands, it would be nice to give you 250 million..."

Nie Tianbao admits that what Qin Feng said is reasonable, but the market in a few years will definitely be different from what it is now, and under inflation, the currency is also depreciating. The purchasing power of 500 million at that time may not be able to exceed the current 300 million. .

"300?"

Qin Feng pondered for a while, but his heart burst into laughter. This Nie Tianbao is really a living person of the present age. Every time he encounters difficulties, he can always meet this buddy.

"Okay, then 300!"

Qin Feng nodded, and said: "Boss Nie, in business, although I guarantee that this thing is handed down from generation to generation, you'd better find an expert to appraise it, otherwise, if there is any problem, the younger brother will not be responsible... ..."

This set of jade was originally carved from ancient jade, even if it is tested with an instrument, it is true, so Qin Feng is not afraid to take it out for appraisal, even if it is in Qi Gong's hands, he will not be able to see it for a while. It is true.

"Okay, Boss Qin is really sincere in doing business!"

Nie Tianbao was thinking about talking to Qin Feng about the appraisal, but he didn't expect the other party to bring it up by himself, and the last trace of doubt in his heart disappeared. After all, he suffered a loss a few years ago, and he was bitten by a snake once. Ten years of fear of well ropes.
