Unparalleled Treasures

Because Old Wu had mentioned the details of the previous middle-aged man, so this time, Zhang Guonian, Zhang Jiye, Zhang Hua and others were quietly observing this man according to the details that Old Wu said.

This middle-aged man is also in a suit and leather shoes, but his cuffs, collar, and other parts of his body are clean, without any stains, and his face is also clean-shaven. , there is no stubble, and the appearance is still very clean and neat, which is not at all like the downcast middle-aged man before.

However, this somewhat chubby middle-aged man's eyebrows were frowning, obviously something was not going his way. Thinking about the behavior in front of him, he probably encountered a problem and needed money.

Zhang Can looked through the middle-aged man's travel bag again, and under the perspective of black and white eyes, he couldn't help but smiled again.

The middle-aged man opened the travel bag and took out two small wooden boxes about a foot in size. The wooden boxes looked old. The paint, style, and locks, etc., all looked primitive, but the locks on the locks It is a very modern product.

After taking out the two wooden boxes and putting them on the table, the middle-aged man took out two more keys, and then opened the two wooden boxes.

The wooden box was wrapped in red silk cloth. The middle-aged man opened one of them, and carefully peeled off the red silk cloth. What was revealed was a bottle, the style and color of which were the same as those of the yuan brought by the middle-aged man before. The blue and white are almost the same, and Zhang Guonian, Zhang Jiye, Zhang Hua, and Su Xue and other four people think that this person is also a liar, maybe he is a gang, and they also use such a thing to deceive people.

The man opened the red silk cloth of the second item. Inside was a stone carving. The stone was white, like jade but not jade. It was shaped like a dragon, but in fact it was a snake with a winding body and an upward mouth. There is a bead in the mouth of the snake, because the mouth of the snake is wider than the body, the bead in the mouth of the snake is as big as an egg, half of it is outside the mouth of the snake, and its color is not much different from the color of the body of the snake. That is to say, it is carved according to the shape of the stone. The snake and the beads in its mouth are actually a whole stone. The carving is lifelike, and the craftsmanship has indeed reached the point of perfection!

The stone quality of this snake carving itself, Zhang Can got it, is green green with a rather poor texture, and there are impurities in the stone quality, which looks green and gray, but it is suitable for carving this snake. the color of scales.

If the carving was not so good, the snake with pearls would not be worth much, but the carving is so good, and the color of the impurities is cleverly made, so that the snake is alive and full of charm.

Old Wu looked at the two items, and immediately took a magnifying glass to look at the blue and white porcelain vase carefully, with a dignified expression.

Old Wu looked at this blue and white bottle for at least 10 minutes. He sighed for a long time, and then looked at the snake-shaped stone sculpture. The middle-aged man asked: "Sir, how much are you going to sell these two items?"

When Old Wu asked, his tone and expression were similar to the previous one, very flat. In fact, only Zhang Can knew that Old Wu was actually a little nervous!

The middle-aged man frowned, looked at Old Wu, hesitated before saying: "I also made it clear that I am in business, because of the financial crisis, my company's funds are tight, and I need cash flow. The current policy is right Our private small and medium-sized enterprises have very little support, and there is almost no loan. What I want now is urgent money. I have searched for all kinds of connections. The collections left by my father were sold and exchanged for cash for emergencies.”

Speaking of which, the middle-aged man pondered for a while before adding: "Why are you looking for a store that hasn't opened yet? In fact, I can also explain it clearly. You all know that what you do now is very scary." Rumors, my company's funds are a little tight, but it hasn't reached the point of extreme danger. If I take these things to the auction company for public auction, maybe they will spread the word and let others see them. The bad thing is that my company is about to go bankrupt, which will cause people to lose heart, and a good company may speed up to a dangerous situation, so I am looking for a store like yours, and I want to do it quietly!"

Old Wu understood immediately, and immediately nodded with a smile: "Please rest assured, we will definitely keep it secret from you, this is our duty, as long as you think it is appropriate, hehe... now I still invite you Let me talk about your thoughts first, how much do you want to change hands?"

The middle-aged man pondered for a while, and then said: "Blue and white porcelain, I want 1000 million yuan, and the spirit snake play bead, I want 200 million yuan, you take a good look, if you think it is acceptable, we will trade it, if you think it is not acceptable, I'll go talk elsewhere!"

1000 million!

This price immediately scared Zhang Guonian and others. The middle-aged man asked for 500 million just now, but it turned out to be a fake, just to cheat money. It seems that this one may be the same, most likely It's a scammer's fake thing, but his appetite is too big, he needs 1000 million to open his mouth, and another snake that is carved more beautifully costs 200 million. Is this money turned into paper?

I'm afraid no matter how rich a person is, he won't spend it like this!

Of course, the thoughts of Zhang Guonian, Zhang Jiye, and Zhang Hua are completely different to Zhang Can and Old Wu.

Old Wu touched his chin and pondered, then glanced at Zhang Can. The money Zhang Can left in the store was only a few million. It must not be enough to buy the two items of this middle-aged man. Well, this middle-aged man has calculated exactly how much money he needs to turn around. The price should not be much different. If he talks about the price, it is estimated that it will not be much less. We have to look at Zhang Can's intentions on this matter.

Zhang Can looked at Old Wu's questioning expression, and immediately said with a smile: "Old Wu, are you the manager? Hehehe, the technical and price issues in this store must be entirely up to you, and you can do whatever you want So, we will support you unconditionally!"

Zhang Can spoke very calmly, but his tone reassured Old Wu. Zhang Can made him feel at ease. , He has more than one billion in his hand.

In front of this middle-aged man, Old Wu would naturally not tell the advantages and advantages of his two things, which would not be conducive to his bargaining. To do this business is not to do charity, but to make money , There are profits to maintain store operations.

These two things, the blue and white porcelain, Lao Wu has determined to be real, and they are real Yuanguan blue and white porcelain. The real value in the world should reach more than 500 million, and the selling price of 1000 million is really not outrageous. , because such a secret sale in private will save a large amount of commission from the auction company. Of course, it depends on whether he wants to sell it privately, or go through regular channels and follow the normal procedures, and then he needs to pay a tax .

If the auction is held in an auction company, there will be a commission ranging from 5.00% to 20.00%. As for how much, it depends on the agreement between the seller and the auction house. The agreement is that they will do the pre-advertising. After the auction, it depends on the final price of the auction. If the price is too much higher than the seller's expected price, the auction house will draw more commissions.

For example, if an antique worth only 100 million yuan is sold at an auction house for a sky-high price of 2000 million yuan, the auction house will extract more than 20.00% of the commission commission. This is actually a win-win situation, and the seller also earns. It also makes money, but the only ones who suffer are buyers.

Old Wu understands the meaning of this middle-aged man very well. The price of 1000 million yuan is neither high nor low. Basically, he has not suffered any loss. If he sells it at an auction house, it may be 500 million yuan, or it may be 300 million yuan. A higher price, but excluding commissions, taxes and other expenses, it will be several million, so the profit will not be too big, between two and three million.

But two to three million, for their newly opened stores, this profit is actually not a small amount. In the antique street, many small and medium stores, the annual profit is almost the same. The current business, fakes Fake goods are rampant, and there are few genuine ones. Therefore, most of the profits of antique shops nowadays are basically made by selling small pieces, especially jade and jadeite pieces. Usually, those who make more profits will have tens of thousands of transactions, but most of them only range from a few hundred to a few thousand.

To be honest, Lao Wu thought that Zhang Can's store had not opened yet, and it was indeed a good luck to have such a gift delivered to his door. As for whether he can win it, it is still unknown, but as long as the price is not too outrageous , can make his middle-aged man satisfied, and it is estimated that he can win it.

Old Wu really wanted to win this business, he would bargain first, and if he could, he would cut it. If he couldn’t, he still wanted 1000 million, but the other item, the dragon carving jade, was not very desirable. Although the carving is good, the quality of the jade is really not very good, and the asking price is too high, 200 million, which is far beyond its own price. The current jadeite objects can be priced at 200 million, which is at least a piece of clear water. The ground above the ground, and there are very few impurities, plus carving.

Of course, that's just the selling price. The current premium for jadeite is too high. Generally speaking, the asking price and the actual price of the items sold in antique shops or gold shops are one or two times less, and ten times more. The above price difference, the asking price is 200 million. If it is good, the original price can be worth 100 million. If it is not good, it may only be worth 20 to [-]. That is to say, the profit earned by the store is at least double the principal. above!
