Chapter 288 Acquisition

The Zhu family was considered to be the first group of people in Los Angeles and even the whole country to get rich. The old man is still alive, so the houses of several families were all bought in the same building in the same community.

Zhu Zhengjun even bought two households on the left and right of a unit. After opening them, the whole house has a total of [-] to [-] square meters. There are four bedrooms alone, and the other two have become his storage rooms. .

"Qin Feng, what's the matter, aren't my dad's collections good?" After eating, Mr. Zhu called, and Qin Feng, accompanied by Zhu Zhengjun and his son, went to the storage room.

After opening the door, Zhu Kai said triumphantly, "Aside from jade, my dad has the most collection of bronze wares, and there are many treasures in them."

Originally, Zhu Kai thought that he was born in a family of antiques, not to mention being the only one in school, and that would be a sense of superiority, but who knew that his sense of superiority was blown from the first day of school.

Not to mention Feng Yongkang who had the same background, even Qin Feng, who became a monk halfway, far surpassed him in both the appraisal of cultural relics and the understanding of antiques.

Unable to fight with his own abilities, Zhu Kai subconsciously wants to fight his father. We are all classmates, so there must be something we can show off, right?Otherwise, he would really lose confidence in front of Qin Feng in the future.

"It's true, Uncle Zhu, you started this job early, so you probably picked up a lot of mistakes back then, didn't you?"

Qin Feng took a rough look, just as Zhu Kai said, on the rows of wooden cabinets, there were many bronze wares neatly placed, most of which were simple in shape and looked like real ones.

"It's not like picking up the leak, the money at that meeting is also valuable."

Zhu Zhengjun smiled, but his face was full of complacency. His collection room must be a close friend, otherwise he would not have brought it in at all. Several people once wanted to exchange collections with him, but Zhu Zhengjun refused.

"Uncle Zhu, I don't want anything else. If I like this jade, you have to give it to me."

Qin Feng found that besides the bronze wares on those shelves, there were also many wooden boxes of different sizes. These must be the jade wares collected by Zhu Zhengjun.

"Xiao Qin, there's no problem. Let's pay the market price for the stuff you like."

When it comes to business, Zhu Zhengjun has become a lot more generous. These jade wares were collected by him in his early years, and he really didn't spend much money. Not to mention that he can make a fortune by selling them to Qin Feng, it is also a disguised form of helping his son.

Although Zhu Zhengjun was very harsh to Zhu Kai, he never had a good word out of his mouth, but he created this family business to leave it to his son, and the usual curses hurt his heart.

"Success, then thank Uncle Zhu."

Qin Feng nodded in agreement. He knew that Zhu Zhengjun was willing to sell these jade articles, which really gave him great face.

Because now anyone with a discerning eye can see the future development of the antique market. The value-added of ordinary jade may not be large, but the price of high-grade jade will definitely increase a lot if you store it in your hands for a few years.

Zhu Zhengjun was not short of money, and he was willing to make a move. Even if his son was involved, he was a great help to Qin Feng, so Qin Feng also secretly remembered this favor in his heart.

"Good jade, Uncle Zhu, this Pixiu handle is the best among topaz!"

Opening a box, Qin Feng couldn't help but his eyes lit up. What caught his eyes was a toy the size of a baby's palm. The whole body was carved from topaz. The craftsmanship was very exquisite, and the facial expressions of Pixiu were carved so vividly.

When Chinese people talk about jade, the first impression is often Hetian jade, but it is thanks to the blessing of Heshibi that many people know about Hetian jade. In fact, there are four famous jades in China.

These four famous jades refer to "Hetian Jade" produced in Xinjiang Province, "Xiuyu" produced in Xiuyan, Liao Province, "Dushan Jade" produced in Nanyang, Henan Province, and Yunxian County, Hubei Province. "Turquoise" produced in other places.

The jade used in this Pixiu is the famous Xiuyan jade. The place where Xiuyu is produced has beautiful mountains and clear waters and rich products.

After tens of millions of years of natural evolution, the essence of the sun, moon, mountains and rivers has been condensed for tens of millions of years, and thus the world-famous national treasure... Xiuyan jade has been produced.

Xiuyu can be roughly divided into two categories. One is old jade (also known as river mill jade), which is formed by the impact of mountain springs from the mountains. Its texture is simple, dignified, and its color is dark green. It is a precious uncut jade.

The other type is nephrite jade, which is firm and warm, delicate and round, and mostly green in color, among which pure white and golden yellow are rare treasures.

The piece of topaz Pixiu that Qin Feng held in his hand was golden in color, and it was carved from the treasures of Xiuyu. Moreover, judging from the age and craftsmanship, it should be from the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

"Your kid's eyes are really poisonous, and your luck is really good. You picked the best jade in my house right away..."

Seeing the toy piece of Huangyu Pixiu in Qin Feng's hand, Zhu Zhengjun couldn't help but smiled wryly, and said, "Qin Feng, I didn't want to sell this piece of jade, but since you saw it, it can be considered that you have a fate with it, but the price If it’s too low, I won’t sell it…”

The matrix of topaz is white jade, and the yellow tint is formed due to the long-term percolation of iron oxide in the surface water in the crevices.

According to the change of color, topaz can be named dense sallow yellow, chestnut yellow, okra yellow, yellow flower yellow, egg yolk, etc. The thick chromatic waxy yellow and chestnut yellow are extremely rare, and their economic value can be equal to suet white jade.

In the Qing Dynasty, because topaz was a homonym for "emperor" and was extremely rare, its economic value once exceeded suet white jade. Even in modern times, the top quality topaz is still very rare, and Zhu Zhengjun is really reluctant to sell it.

"Uncle Zhu, what do you think of this price?"

Qin Feng extended a slap and said: "The jade quality and carving work of this topaz are very good, but the age is a little short, at most it was in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. The price I gave should be very reasonable, right?"

"Fifty thousand? Qin Feng, I said your kid is Grandet, right?"

After seeing Qin Feng's gesture clearly, Zhu Zhengjun shook his head again and again, and said, "I didn't even exchange a pair of blue-and-white porcelain vases from the Kangxi official kiln of the Qing Dynasty. Don't even think about 5 yuan..."

Although Zhu Zhengjun does not trade in jade, he has many friends who do, and he often hangs out at jade stalls, so he is very clear about the price of his piece of topaz.

"Uncle Zhu, do you think I'm such a stingy person?"

Qin Feng laughed when he heard the words, shook his right hand, and said, "This is not 50, but [-]. Uncle Zhu, do you think this price is suitable?"

"50? Qin Feng, are you kidding me?"

After hearing Qin Feng's words, Zhu Zhengjun was taken aback. Although this topaz is good, as Qin Feng said, the age is a bit recent, and the market price is still slightly lower than that of Hanyu, which should be around 30. look.

"Qin Feng, Uncle Zhu can't take advantage of you."

Zhu Zhengjun scolded Qin Feng's prodigal son in his heart, and said: "The market price of this piece of jade is about 35, so how about it, you take it away for 40, and after two years, I guarantee that you will only make money and not lose money!"

No matter how you say it, Qin Feng is his son's classmate, and Zhu Kai still has shares in "Zhenyufang".

"Uncle Zhu, don't tell me, I really paid 50 yuan for this Pixiu, I don't want it if I don't have it."

Qin Feng shook his head and said: "Uncle Zhu, you also know that my store sells all high-quality goods, but there are still some rare treasures in the ancient jade shop, this jade is just right..."

"Wait, Uncle Zhu can't take advantage of you..."

Before Qin Feng could finish speaking, Zhu Zhengjun interrupted him and said, "Qin Feng, it has a market price as long as it is suitable. You don't take the saying that gold has a price and jade is priceless, right?"

The ancients often used the phrase "gold has a price and jade is priceless" to describe the preciousness of jade, but for those in the industry or businessmen who play with these, any item has its value.

"Uncle Zhu, listen to me first."

After being interrupted by Zhu Zhengjun, Qin Feng was not angry, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhu, I bought this piece of jade from you for 50 yuan, do you know how much I plan to sell?"

"How much?" Zhu Zhengjun was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "Although topaz is rare, it can still be found in the market. If it is expensive, can you sell it?"

"120 million!"

Qin Feng stretched out one finger of his right hand, thought it was wrong, then raised his left hand and stretched out two fingers, and said: "120 million, I will sell this piece of jade at this price when I buy it back, and I don't even want to buy it if I buy it back. Walk……"

Speaking of this, Qin Feng laughed and said: "In case I sell at this price in the future, Uncle Zhu, think about it, don't be so angry and vomit blood, so don't talk about the price of 50, just go with it!"

Qin Feng's approach is actually very particular. If the business in this antique shop is picked up by someone, it will be as disgusting as eating a fly.

Although the current transaction between Qin Feng and Zhu Zhengjun was not a leak, but the difference between the buying and selling prices was too great, Qin Feng was afraid that Zhu Zhengjun would be unhappy in the future, so he took the initiative to give an extra 10 yuan.

"Sell this piece of jade for 120 million? Do you really dare to think about it?"

Zhu Zhengjun was stunned for a while and didn't speak. He was frightened by the price Qin Feng said, and he felt his throat was a little dry. He swallowed hard and said, "Qin Feng, you don't do business like that. Yes, people will laugh at you."

As the saying goes, there are rules. There are so many prices in the market for this kind of jade. If Qin Feng puts out a sky-high price, it will definitely make his peers laugh. Zhu Zhengjun said this, but he is good to Qin Feng.

"Uncle Zhu, I didn't intend to sell this thing to people in the industry."

Qin Feng shook his head with a smile, and said: "The country has developed rapidly in recent years, and there are many nouveau riche. They know what price is high and low? We only sell the most expensive, not the best..."

Qin Feng has long determined the positioning of Zhenyufang. This is not a shop for ordinary people, nor a place for people in the industry to communicate, but for those who are the first to become rich in the country.

So as long as it is of good quality, Qin Feng dares to set a sky-high price, and he is not afraid of being laughed at by people in the industry.

If the item really can't be sold, can't you just find someone to buy it?Then it can help "Zhenyufang" to advertise. Qin Feng also really likes this piece of topaz Pixiu, wishing that no one would buy it.

"Well, I don't understand you young people anymore, 50 is 50." Zhu Zhengjun shook his head helplessly, and said, "I have a lot of jade wares, you pick them first, and we will settle the accounts together later."

"Okay, Uncle Zhu, you are more generous in business than in life."

Qin Feng smiled, and he was not polite at the moment. He opened the wooden boxes one by one, took out the jade articles in them, and appraised them. If this thing is not good, it will be a loss of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

Fortunately, Zhu Zhengjun often came into this room to polish his collection of ancient jade, and installed a 100-watt light bulb, although it was at night, the light was very bright.

Qin Feng spent more than two hours picking, and picked out more than 30 pieces of ancient jade from Zhu Zhengjun's collection of hundreds of pieces.

However, except for the first piece of topaz Pixiu, the rest are jade wares ranging in value from thousands to tens of thousands. After leaving the house and living in the living room, Qin Feng needs to pay Zhu Zhengjun 180 million.

"Uncle Zhu, you have to take a good lead..."

Qin Feng took out an IOU handwritten by Mr. Qi, filled in the blank spaces with Zhu Zhengjun's name and the number 180 million, and said, "After three months, within half a year, if you withdraw money with the IOU, if you don't Come and get it, the money will be gone..."

"Stinky boy, plot your Uncle Zhu first, this is murder!"

Looking at the IOU and agreement that Qin Feng took out, Zhu Zhengjun shook his head speechlessly, but of course he could trust Mr. Qi's reputation. After signing the agreement, he put away the agreement and IOU.

"Qin Feng, have you finished picking out all the things from the political and military?"

Mr. Zhu who was in the room heard the voices in the living room, pushed the door and came out, sat on the sofa and said, "I have contacted more than a dozen of the largest jade merchants in Henan Province for you. Come to my shop tomorrow. Let's have a live deal..."

"More than ten?" After hearing Mr. Zhu's words, Qin Feng quickly asked: "Grandpa Zhu, have you always talked about the rules of my IOUs?"

Although he has a check of 800 million in his hand, and Qin Feng has kept another 500 million as a spare, but facing a jade merchant in a province, this money is really not enough for him.

"Of course, with Mr. Qi as the guarantee, they are all trustworthy."

Mr. Zhu nodded, but he didn't say that he was also one of the guarantors and had been in the business all his life. Mr. Zhu had already passed the age of showing off.

"Okay, Xiao Qin, I'm tired after a day's flight, you should rest early..."

Seeing that it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, the old man stood up and said, "Tomorrow, I'll invite an old friend to help you with your eyes, so as not to be taken advantage of by some people."

To say that Mr. Zhu really cared about this matter. He not only helped Qin Feng contact more than a dozen powerful sellers, but also found an appraiser. It was a one-stop service.
