Chapter 567 Xiao Song Self-made Incense Burner

"Yeah." Lao Zhou nodded, "The price is only low or high, because there has never been a complete set."

Antiques are different from mass-produced literary products.

If it is cultural and entertainment, for example, if you buy a bead for 100 yuan, and you buy [-] beads of the same product and want to wear them in a string, the average price will definitely be cheaper than buying a single bead, because mass-produced things are easier to assemble; buying more than buying a single merchant It is easier to profit.

But antiques and complete sets are often more expensive than single pieces, because they are not mass-produced, and this set has gone through years, so it is not easy to preserve.Pairs of large pieces of furniture, for example, are often worth four times as much as a single piece. .

"Hey? Why is there one more sunspot than white?" Pu Jie continued to ask.

Yu Yao couldn't help looking at Pu Jie, Pu Jie pouted, "Don't look at me, I don't know how to play Go."

At this time, Lao Zhou smiled and explained, "Because the sunspots symbolize yang, and the white stones symbolize yin; yang represents the sky, yin represents the earth, yang is an odd number, and yin is an even number, so there is one more piece. A point of 360 on the chessboard is also It implies that one is Tianyuan, and three hundred and six simulate Zhoutian."

Yu Yao nodded, "It's not wrong to listen to Teacher Zhou."

The three of them quickly returned to the hotel, each took their own small suitcases, and dragged them directly to the hotel entrance to take a taxi to the train station.

Arrive in Zhongzhou smoothly, check into the reserved hotel and rest here.

The store owned by the female stall owner’s brother-in-law is called Brother Hao Pawn Consignment Firm; his brother-in-law’s name is Wei Hao, and many customers like to call him Brother Hao.

Brother Hao's pawnshop consignment firm is located in Xinzhong District of Zhongzhou. Xinzhong District was originally called Xinzhong County, and it was only changed a few years ago, so the location is actually relatively remote.

The commercial bank is located in front of a residential area. It is an independent three-story building with an antique facade.

When the three of them entered the gate, they heard the sound of tape being taped. It was packing for the express delivery.

Here is the collection of pawn and consignment goods from all over the country; and the sale of goods, Brother Hao also has a set, the main one is to distribute goods to merchants all over the country and ship them through the network platform.

In this way of buying and selling, the price of the goods is generally not high, or even far lower than the market price; because the owners of pawn and consignment are all anxious to use the money, and there are also physical stores that cannot be opened to clear the goods, Brother Hao will Severely undercut the price.

This also requires eye support.However, among the goods, there are very few antiques, and most of them are jewelry and jade, because jewelry and jade mainly depend on their texture, which is relatively easier to identify and maintain their value.

Brother Hao happened to be in the store at this time, and had a brief chat after meeting.

Yu Yao saw that Brother Hao was about 30 years old, several years younger than the female stall owner, but he became her brother-in-law; but brother-in-law is not a brother, it is possible that he is older or younger.

Brother Hao has a baby face, but his facial features are still quite good-looking, a bit like Jia Baoyu in the old version of A Dream of Red Mansions TV series, but he speaks more boldly and his gestures are quite grand.

Hearing that Lao Zhou mainly liked jade pieces, Brother Hao took them directly to a large room on the third floor. There was a sofa and tea table on one side of the door, a calligraphy and painting table in the middle, and tall shelves around it.However, it is not a piece of stuff on the shelf, but a box.

There are plastic boxes one by one, full of plastic bags, stacked with various jade pieces, mainly Hetian jade and jadeite.

"Choose whatever you want, there are price tags on them, buy it now. If you buy more, I can give you a little discount on the total price, but I won't take a big knife!" Brother Hao laughed.

"Okay, then you're welcome." Old Zhou nodded.

Brother Hao sat down on the sofa instead, lit a cigarette, and tapped the coffee table, "If you're not sure, you can put it here first, and then we can chat while drinking tea."

The three of them looked separately.To be honest, it is not convenient to look at the goods like this. You have to pick them up in the plastic box, and you have to open the sealed bag to take a closer look.

But Lao Zhou's eyes lit up after watching it for a moment, because the price was indeed low enough.For example, the price of jade pieces worth about [-] yuan here is usually [-] to [-] yuan; the price of high-quality goods over [-] yuan is often not more than [-] yuan.

Lao Zhou is not very familiar with this kind of business.

In fact, Brother Hao has changed the traditional marketing model of Wenwan jewelry and jade with high profits. He followed the path of small profits but quick turnover.It is normal for shopping malls and stores to sell jewelry and jade to earn [-]% of your profit.

The ability to carry a huge amount depends on the network distribution model, online auction, and online sales that have been explored.The important functions of physical stores have become "warehouses" and express delivery points.Of course, the business of door-to-door customers is the same, but the proportion is not large.

Yu Yao struggled for a while and felt bored, because they were all modern jade handicrafts, so he simply walked over and sat on the sofa, and also lit a cigarette:

"Brother Hao, you don't collect many antiques, do you?"

"Yeah, antiques are not easy to appraise, and generally they don't accept them. When they meet something they think is good, they charge the lowest price, and many people don't want to sell it. Besides, it's not easy to sell antiques through online platforms. It's just going back and forth. The risk of returning or exchanging goods is not small." Brother Hao finished speaking, and then asked, "Boss Yu is in the antique business?"

"That's right." Yu Yao replied vaguely.

Brother Hao tilted his head and tapped his temple, "By the way, I really received a consignment item yesterday. I'm so old! I haven't filled it in the warehouse list yet, do you want to see it?"

"what?"

"It's a censer."

"what is the material?"

"Porcelain, but the glaze is uneven and drips very badly."

Yu Yao was taken aback for a moment, "What do you mean dripping very hard?"

"It's just flowing down."

"Oh? What glaze color?"

"It's similar to sky blue, with some moon white patterns."

Yu Yao became interested, "Okay, let's take a look then!"

Brother Hao nodded and took out his phone, "Hey, you bring the incense burner you just received yesterday... yes, it's in a boxwood box..."

Brother Hao hung up the phone, and Yu Yao continued to ask, "Brother Hao, you said it was consigned by a customer, what's the matter?"

"Oh, there are two ways, one is consignment, we negotiate the price, and what I sell more is the profit; every time the profit exceeds 50.00%, he can raise another [-]%. There is also a simple way, that is, I Buy it outright. This incense burner, he is only willing to sell it on consignment, if it cannot be sold at the reserve price he requested, he will not sell it."

Yu Yao smiled, "He still takes it very seriously, but the Jun kiln has officials and civilians, and the time span of the folk kiln is huge, and there are many high-quality imitations, this..."

A look of surprise flashed in Brother Hao's eyes, "Boss Yu is an expert!"

Not long after, a female shop assistant came over holding a boxwood box.The wood is good, and the carving is exquisite; but this box is new.

Brother Hao took out the incense burner from the wooden box and placed it on the coffee table.

Yu Yao took a closer look, this incense burner is not too big, the glaze color is exactly as Brother Hao said, it is quite special; moreover, there is a square area in the center of the lower part of one side mouth, engraved with two lines of words:
Gengxu Mid-Autumn Festival Xiao Song self-made incense burner for two quarters.
