Chapter 1118 A Quite Exquisite Dzi Bead Bracelet
A dzi bracelet composed of three dzi beads with different patterns and meanings is of course more valuable than a single dzi bead or a bracelet made of the same kind of dzi beads. After all, water pattern dzi beads, nine-eyed dzi beads, Longevity Dzi Beads These three kinds of Dzi Beads add together can basically make life complete, career, health and merit are all rounded up. If it is really effective, you can have a good pregnancy in your next life. After all, the merits and virtues are consummated. Yes or no?
But to be honest, don’t look at the many fans of Dzi Beads, there are not many people who can accurately identify the patterns, meanings and names of different Dzi Beads. After all, Dzi Beads have various patterns and are relatively abstract. And people who have special research on Tibetan Buddhism really can't play this.

Therefore, when ordinary people play dzi beads, they mainly start with the age, material, size and appearance.

From these aspects, this string of dzi beads is quite remarkable.

In addition to the beeswax used for embellishment, the material of this string of dzi bead bracelets is that the three beads are all polished from natural agate. Don’t think that agate may not be very valuable, but after being processed into dzi beads, it is not an ordinary agate. Well, at least agate doesn't have that black and white and relatively regular pattern, doesn't it?
As for the size, it is even more particular. The nine-eyed dzi in the middle is 4.7×1.2cm, and the water pattern dzi and longevity dzi on both sides are exactly the same 3.6×1.1cm. This configuration of one main and two auxiliary can be said It is very attentive.

The appearance of the three dzi beads is also quite good. The patterns of the three dzi beads are black and white and clear.In addition, there are naturally formed weathering lines in the oily waxy coating layer. Although the weathering lines are not very beautiful, they also have a sense of harmony that is naturally formed. In novels, it looks very harmonious, and in large In other words, there is a feeling of unity between man and nature.

In fact, the weathering patterns of dzi beads can be regarded as a characteristic of Tibetan dzi beads. Because the climate in Tibet is dry and cold, and the texture of dzi beads is relatively soft, similar weathering patterns will naturally appear over time. This kind of weathering pattern is formed with the formation of patina, which is a characteristic pattern of you, me, and you, and it is a pattern that cannot be imitated at all.

Therefore, dzi beads with weathering patterns are basically quite old.

As for antiques, as long as it is confirmed to be an old object, there will be a market. Even if it is a bead carved from stone, as long as it can be confirmed that it was carved ten years ago, it may be sold for a hundred dollars, let alone dzi.

So as soon as this string of old dzi beads appeared on the stage, it immediately attracted the looting of everyone present, and basically everyone present participated in the auction.

Of course, the price increase each time is not high. Some people have raised hundreds of thousands, but most of them are still 1 to [-]. After all, it is not a formal auction, but a private auction, so the starting price, transaction The price and the price increase are not very high.If the transaction price here is higher than the regular auction, then why do people come here? Even if they support Chen Xiaoyan and Xu Jingjing, once or twice is enough, how can they win every time?

In the final analysis, there is still an advantage over regular auctions in order to attract a steady stream of customers.

Therefore, the auction price gradually slowed down after reaching 300 million, and some of them seemed to have given up.

Is it expensive to buy such a string of dzi beads for 300 million yuan?Not expensive, not expensive at all. If there is such a string of high-quality dzi beads in a formal auction, the transaction price will definitely be more than 500 million, or even more than 1000 million. It is not a rare thing, you can check it According to the auction records, the prices of dzi bead bracelets of similar grades range from 500 million to 500 million. If they can be won at a price of 300 million, the buyer can proudly say that they have picked up a big mistake.

However, the final transaction price was not 300 million, but 420 million, which was won by an old man who ate Beijing movies.

This price is also profitable, but the profit is a little less.

Someone has to ask, since this bracelet can fetch more than 500 million at the auction, why not send it to the auction for sale?Why do you have to auction it yourself?Have money or not?

This question is actually very simple, related to taxes and fees.

In a formal auction, the higher the transaction price, the more relevant taxes and fees to pay, plus the commissions that need to be paid to the auction house and other fees, it adds up to a lot of money, which is likely to account for 20.00% to 30.00% of the transaction price. [-]%, and possibly even higher.

Calculated in this way, the 400 million in the private transaction is equivalent to more than 500 million to 600 million in the regular auction house. The market is basically the same, but both the buyer and the seller in the private transaction can save a part of the money, and can save a part Unnecessary trouble is a good thing that everyone is happy.

That's why true connoisseurs seldom go to auctions to buy things.

Just like Xu Jingxing's large woodcarving works, if conditions permit, they are all one-to-one private transactions.

Not only him, those people on the Antique Street are not enough for the store or the company's account when they are doing large transactions.

It's not that this is tax evasion, but that the relevant policies are not perfect in this regard. The taxation methods, tax rates and supervision of antique transactions are not clear. Many times you don't know how to pay taxes. Pay in name, because the taxes and fees in different names are very different.

However, it is said that relevant policies are being adjusted, and there will not be many such good things in the future.

But for Chen Xiaoyan's business, the impact is not that great, because even if he pays 20.00% personal income tax, compared with sending it to the auction house, he still has to pay less of the commission charged by the auction house, which is still a lot of money. The higher the price, the higher the commission, and the auction house charges in both directions, so both buyers and sellers will still like this "no middleman to make the difference" transaction method.

No, the old man who bought this string of dzi bead bracelets for 420 million just stood there happily from ear to ear, arousing envy from the surroundings.

As for the seller, Chen Xiaoyan, who was also smiling like a flower, she almost jumped up and cheered, but Xu Jingjing was more calm, probably doing a lot of such "big deals", after all, they have been doing it for almost three years, even if it is only once a year It's a big deal, and they should have earned tens of millions, so naturally they won't be too excited because of the mere millions.

Xu Jingxing was more curious, "How much did you charge for this bracelet?"

Chen Xiaoyan, who was grinning from ear to ear, stopped talking all of a sudden, and hummed softly: "I won't tell you."

"Hahaha, it's not a loss-making business, is it?" Xu Jingxing laughed when he heard this.
