Chapter 149 Developing Potential Buyers in Advance
There is competition among peers in the antique industry, but at the same time, they also need to communicate with each other. If a customer comes to buy this, if you don’t have it, I have it, so let’s introduce it here.Especially for antique shops in different regions, the competition between the two is even more negligible, mainly due to the availability of information resources.

Of course, antique shops that can communicate with each other are those who have a certain friendship and trust each other.Therefore, the owner of an antique shop in the industry will often take the initiative to make friends with insiders. First, it will be almost harmless anyway, and we will talk about whether it is compatible.

"Well, it's in BJ Shichahai Antique Market. You two are very welcome to visit our store when you go to BJ. The name of the store is called Xu's Antique Store." Xu Yunhan warmly extended the invitation.

"Xu's Antique Shop? Your uncle's surname is Xu?" Mr. Liu thought for a while after hearing what she said, and asked, "Is your uncle's name Xu Da?"

Xu Yunhan asked in surprise, "You know Uncle Xu?"

"Why don't you know each other? We've been friends for decades. He told me on the phone a few days ago that he and his niece opened an antique shop. It turned out to be you girl. It seems that we are quite destined Ah." Liu Xiangwen laughed.

Xu Yunhan is also very happy, and it will be easier to chat once the friendship is closer, "I heard that Uncle Xu mentioned an old friend, but he didn't say his name. But in this way, today's trip is more appropriate gone."

"Ah? What, you are not here to sell things today?" Liu Dong, who was sitting on the side and was in charge of delivering tea to Liu Xiangwen, said this in great disappointment.

The inexplicable question stunned Xu Yunhan, and he couldn't help thinking of Liu Dong's enthusiastic attitude that changed immediately after she mentioned that he was the snuff bottle seller.

"You don't think I'm here to sell something good this time, do you?" Xu Yunhan smiled helplessly.

Liu Dong chuckled, as acquiesced.

"I really didn't plan to sell anything on this trip, and even if there are good things, I won't sell them to other antique shops. I have a place at home." Xu Yunhan thought for a while, and just took this opportunity to make a call for his own things. Advertisement to promote, this auction bid is of course the more people bid, the higher the final price may be, so he continued,

"However, there is indeed a good item that I plan to send to the auction house in a while, a celadon washware made of sunflower petals from the official kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty. If you two or your friends are interested in this, you can pay attention to it at that time."

Liu Xiangwen couldn't sit still when he heard it, and couldn't wait to start asking, "Are you sure it's from the official kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty?"

Liu Dong on the side also stared at Xu Yunhan very seriously, waiting for the details to follow.

"Well, what Uncle Xu has seen is confirmed to be the official kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty. The auction house will definitely have to do another appraisal when it is sent for auction. Why, are you two interested?"

Liu Xiangwen shook his head, slapped his thigh suddenly, and complained,

"Xu Da didn't even tell me that he had such a good thing in his hand. Humph, I'll call and talk to him later. It's not that we are interested in buying it, but that an old customer in the store has been asking for it." I want to buy a Southern Song celadon, but I haven’t been able to do so for several years. I met an acquaintance who had it in his hand before, but he had to keep it for himself if he didn’t sell it or exchange it. Everyone knows that there are very few official kilns in the Southern Song Dynasty. Now Most of them are in the hands of major museums or private collectors. After you confirm the delivery time and place, remember to ask Xu Da to inform me, and Liu Dong, you are responsible for telling the customers."

Exchange means exchanging things for things. Tibetan friends in the collection circle have common hobbies and interests. Often two or three friends will gather together with their favorite collections or newly found ones. If two people are very satisfied with each other If you have something in your hand and are willing to exchange it, then this is a barter.

However, there are also considerable risks in this "exchange". If you are not careful, you may exchange your real thing for a fake one.

That would be a big loss!
This kind of thing is not uncommon, even in the circle of friends who are very close and trustworthy, it sometimes happens. Usually it is not a friend setting up a trap, mainly because your friend himself does not know that the things he has are fakes.

"Okay, I must tell you in advance." It was decided to send the auction yesterday, and a potential buyer appeared today. Xu Yunhan seemed to be able to see a lot of pink RMB waving at her in front of her. She was very happy. Empty, and her heart was empty.

Sure enough, as the old saying goes, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.

"Well, I'll go there in advance. You guys have to show me the celadon sunflower petal washer from the official kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty. If you don't buy it, you can count it as your own." Liu Xiangwen said.

"That must be no problem, just give me a call before you come." Xu Yunhan generously agreed, and then changed the topic to what she wanted to find out the most.
"By the way, I just came from the western suburbs of the county. I wanted to take a shortcut and walk in a small alley, but I was stopped by some soldiers with guns. I heard from the nearby residents that those The place surrounded by the soldiers was originally a construction site, and later antiques were dug up. You should know about this matter, Mr. Liu and Uncle Liu. I think it is very curious, but the residents don’t know the specifics. Do you have any other related information? what news?"

Before she opened her mouth, Xu Yunhan thought about how to ask for a long time, and after thinking about it, she realized that it was better to ask straightforwardly, instead of hiding it, she seemed suspicious.Who doesn't have curiosity, she just happened to walk there to see it, can't she? !

And the news is that a valuable antique was dug up on the construction site. Even ordinary people will be attracted by this novelty, let alone someone who is in the antique business!
She is sure that all kinds of people in the antique industry in Pingyi County are still paying attention to relevant news.Therefore, her abrupt inquiry will definitely not make these people feel strange.

"En? You mean the catacomb found in the western suburbs of the county, right?" Liu Dong understood as soon as he heard it. There was only one major news in the industry in Pingyi County recently. Of course he knew it, and then he laughed and said I understand your expression very well and said,
"Little girl, you want to take the opportunity to collect some good things to make a fortune, haha, but you are late... Ouch~ Dad, why hit me on the head, it hurts!"

Liu Dongzheng was happily talking to Xu Yunhan while gesticulating, but he didn't want to be hit hard on the back of the head by his father, completely disregarding the relationship between father and son. Cry out in pain.

"Let you just open your mouth and talk nonsense. I'm glad that there are no other people in the store now. If you are overheard, you can wait for someone from the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau to talk to you." Liu Xiangwen glared at Liu Dong taught me a lesson.

"Then I'm sure that there are no outsiders in the store now, so I said that." Liu Dong rubbed his head that was still aching, and defended in a low voice very aggrieved.
