I'm really the king of leaks

Chapter 134 "Chihiro Jewelry"

There are actually many factors that determine the price of an antique.

In addition to the most basic values ​​such as art and cultural history, there is another factor, that is, the environmental factors of buying and selling.Under normal circumstances, when things are placed in the auction house, the price will be inflated, and it may even be doubled or multiple times.

but.

Such a falsely high transaction price does not represent the normal circulation price in the market.

Take the enamel-colored incense burner in Grandma Wang's hand as an example. The market circulation price may be around 30 yuan, but it is not necessarily so if it is placed on the auction floor.

If you find something you like, the price may be chased up to 100 million. However, if you don't find something you like, the starting price may be 50 or even lower, and the auction may fail.

Unsuccessful auction means that some entrustment fees will be in vain.

Not only did he not make any money, on the contrary, he had to lose part of the money first.

Therefore, the price of an incense burner of this quality that is easy to circulate in the market is relatively transparent, and it is often around 30.Because the average quality incense burner is more than 10 yuan, this one is enamel color and has a certain sense of design, so a lot of points are added.

but.

In the sale of antiques, the seller usually bids the price first, regardless of whether the other party understands or not, the seller needs to bid first. This is the hidden rule of the antique trade.

"Grandma Wang, how much do you think is the right price for this incense burner?"

Zhang Yi asked.

"This... I don't really understand it either! I don't know... Can it be worth 10... If it's worth 10, my four children will be worth [-] points each."

Grandma Wang said with a sigh.

For her, this incense burner has now become a burden, a barrier between her and her children.

Of course, for this matter, Zhang Yi will not take advantage of others.After all, it is not so easy for Grandma Wang alone, so after hearing what Grandma Wang said.

Zhang Yi directly offered an offer.

"Grandma Wang, this incense burner of yours is indeed very good. The market price is about 30 yuan. If you think it's okay, I'll accept the 30 yuan incense burner."

Grandma Wang was stunned, she didn't know what to say.

There was a moment of hesitation, she said.

"Xiao Yi, I'm just an incense burner. I know that old things are valuable, but they're not gold. How can they be worth so much?"

Zhang Yi smiled wryly in his heart and said.

"Grandma Wang, in fact, it doesn't have to be made of gold to be valuable!"

Grandma Wang didn't understand this, so she looked at He Cui.

He Cui also added a sentence.

"Aunt Wang, Xiao Yi specializes in this kind of antique business. He said it's worth 30 yuan, so it must be worth 30 yuan. Don't worry!"

"Hey...Xiao He, I'm sure I can rest assured about your child. In fact...I'm afraid that Xiao Yi has a good heart, so I'm at a loss!"

Grandma Wang said.

Her eyes were full of gratitude.

"Grandma Wang, you won't lose money. I'll take this stove of yours, and I'll make a small profit!"

"Really, that's good, that's good!"

At this moment.

He Cui thought for a while, and added something to the old lady.

"Aunt Wang, actually... I don't know what to say, whether I should say it or not."

"Xiao He, if you have anything to say, just say it. There is nothing you should say. Chatting with you is better than chatting with my children."

Then, He Cui said.

"Aunt Wang, I think you'd better keep 30 of the 20 for yourself, and distribute the remaining 10 to your children. Although it is said to raise children for old age, if you have no money , I'm worried that they won't come to take care of you."

He Cui also saw the faces of the old lady's children, so she mentioned this sentence.

In fact, the old lady herself knew it very well.

Her children came here in turn, and none of them really wanted to take care of her. They just stared at the stove and thought it was a treasure.

After this matter is settled.

Zhang Yiben said that he would come to pick up the stove after going to the bank to transfer the money.However, Grandma Wang also trusted Zhang Yi very much, so she directly gave the stove to Zhang Yi.

It happened that Zhang Yi was going to go to Uncle Chen's place later.

Therefore, Zhang Yi took the enamel colored incense burner with him, and after going to the bank to transfer the money, Zhang Yi walked through the ancient street and went to Uncle Chen's shop.

Uncle Chen's shop has just opened at this moment.

He was also very happy to see Zhang Yi passing by, and greeted Zhang Yi to sit in the store.

Go to the store and sit down.

Zhang Yi took out the stove.

"Such a beautiful stove, where did it come from?"

"Just received it this morning."

"Missed it again?"

"It doesn't count. I bought it from an old lady, Uncle Chen. The market price of this kind of stove is about 30 yuan. It should be there, right?"

Uncle Chen nodded directly. He still knows a lot about the incense burner.Because, he personally has some research on incense.

"There must be 30. If this kind of product is in circulation in the market, it should be between 30 and 40."

"Well then, Uncle Chen, this incense burner is also in your store. If anyone wants it, it will be offered at about this price."

For Zhang Yi, the main purpose of buying this incense burner is to help Grandma Wang, and he is not planning to make money.

Grandma Wang is getting old, not to mention that her children don't take good care of them, and her own children are staring at the money in her hand. To be honest, this situation is too sad.

After talking about this, Zhang Yi said again.

"Uncle Chen, I'm here. I have something important to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

"I may have to go abroad in the next few days, first to Ruili in southern Yunnan, and then to Myanmar."

Uncle Chen thought for a while, Ruili and Burma are both places where rough jadeite is concentrated and mined, so he can guess what Zhang Yi is going to do.

"Xiao Yi, are you going to officially start?"

"Yes, Uncle Chen! The time has come!"

"That's fine, Xiao Yi, I will leave the affairs of Los Angeles to me. Don't worry about those antique shops, you will definitely take all 3000 million yuan."

Zhang Yi nodded. In fact, he was not worried about these things.

"Uncle Chen, I gave your mobile phone number to my mother to accompany me. If there is anything wrong with the hospital, Uncle Chen, please take care of it for me."

After all, this time is a long trip, and it may take a few days.

and so.

Zhang Yi is most worried about his mother, He Cui.

Fortunately, her situation is improving now.

"By the way, Xiaoyi, the name of the jewelry store you mentioned, or you can tell me directly, I will ask Expert Peng to give you a word, and the decoration can also be prepared in advance."

"Uncle Chen, the name of the store is Qianxun Jewelry."

Without hesitation, Zhang Yi said it.

"It's a nice name, it sounds nice!"

As soon as Chen Shu finished speaking, he realized a problem.

"Qianxun", isn't that the name of the girl with Zhang Yi?
Uncle Chen looked at Zhang Yi, and was about to say something, but Zhang Yi spoke first.

"Uncle Chen, keep it secret for me for now."
