For example, the slightly better porcelain from Jingzhen can be sold for three to five thousand without any problem, and even some high-quality products can easily be sold for hundreds of thousands.
Where did antiques come from? They are not exquisite products from all eras. As they have been circulated for a long time, their prices have increased.
How did ancient objects spread to the present?
Didn't people at that time acquire contemporary high-quality products and hide them so that they can be passed down to the present?
For the same reason, collecting modern art is also a good way to get rich.
Especially for some families who have so much money that they need to maintain and increase their value, they will use all means to make financial investments.
Fine antiques, Western oil paintings, modern fine porcelain, works by outstanding young calligraphers and painters, and works by some old artists are all included in the collection.
For example, the family of Lao Wang, who is engaged in real estate, has a large collection of modern works. I heard that an old artist has gone there in recent years, which has caused the value of his modern works of art to skyrocket.
Zhang Yijie put down the gold cup in disappointment. Even if modern art could appreciate in value, it would not be possible now. Buying such a thing at a high price would squeeze the funds.
"Just tell me how to deal with this thing?" Zhang Yijie said.
Chen Wenzhe said: "You are not rich if you hide ancient things. If you can sell them, sell them. If you can't, just keep them."
"How much can it sell for?" Zhang Yijie's eyes lit up, he just didn't really want to collect it.
"If you charge 220,000 yuan, you still have to make 30% of it, maybe 350,000 yuan. If the price is too low, we won't sell it."
Zhang Yijie was speechless. Just now he was worried about losing money!
As a result, he is now told that the minimum is 350,000. Is this still the result of not wanting to earn more?
"Are you serious?" Zhang Yijie couldn't help but ask.
Nodding, Chen Wenzhe did not explain. He only paid 1.5 times the premium, which was actually not much.
"The goods are sold by knowledgeable people. Those who are ignorant of the goods will never pay a high price. Those who know the goods will never find the price high. Just like selling Xuande stoves, the same is true for the figure statue. You should be more considerate."
"Uh, got it."
Zhang Yijie subconsciously glanced at his father.
There are some things that relatives cannot tell, after all, this is Chen Wenzhe's secret.
Zhang Qianshan was an old man and naturally knew that his son was hiding something from him, but it was not easy for him to ask, so he just gave a few more warnings and left.
"I'll contact the buyer. If it's sold, it will be another income!"
Having something to do and making a lot of money makes Zhang Yijie full of motivation.
Shaking his head, he sat back in the boss's chair and stretched. Chen Wenzhe didn't want to move anymore.
It was midday, the time for lunch break. He had been busy for a long time and was really a little tired.
After stuffing the gold cup directly into the safe, Chen Wenzhe squinted his eyes and rested on the executive chair.
Unknowingly, Chen Wenzhe fell asleep until he was awakened by the sound outside.
I looked at my phone and saw that it was already past two o'clock. At this time, the antique city should be crowded again.
Since the market stalls in the Antique City disappeared, the flow of people here has actually decreased, but some people who like this industry will still come here.
There are no antique stalls anymore, and they have become antique shops of various sizes. If you want to buy something, the price will be high.
However, this way the government will be easier to manage, and there will be no more messy things.
After getting up and moving for a while, Chen Wenzhe drank a cup of tea and looked at the tourists coming and going outside. Then he stood up and started working.
I already have a few things in my hand, so naturally I want to put them out and open a store, isn’t it just to sell things?
As soon as he thought of it, he took out the Gold Cup from the small safe.
Open the bulletproof tempered glass cover on the book shelf, fix the things inside, and lock it again.
Looking at the four items on the antique shelf, Chen Wenzhe felt that the road to antiques was long and arduous.
He needs to get a few more genuine items so that he can have a sense of accomplishment by putting them here.
However, the probability of staying in the store and waiting for someone to deliver it to your door is still too low!
"Boss, do you charge high prices for gold here?"
Who stipulates that when one opens the door to do business, he must receive gold?
Chen Wenzhe was a little angry. What kind of evil guy was doing this for him?
"We only accept top-quality gold products." Chen Wenzhe said with a roll of his eyes.
"Really charging gold at a high price? Boss, look at my gold bracelet!" A simple and honest man walked in and said with a surprised look on his face.
Chen Wenzhe recognized it at a glance. Was this the owner of a gold jewelry store not far away?
The previous weighing of Gaozu's Golden Cup was made by borrowing his electronic scale. Could it be that you couldn't help but come here to pick up the wool?
"Boss Zhou, you haven't been doing gold trading for a day or two. You didn't just get an ordinary bracelet, right?"
Welcoming the visitor and walking to the desk, Chen Wenzhe said unceremoniously.
There is not a trace of embarrassment in Zhou Quansheng, the old Zhou Huangjin.
After sitting down and glancing around the store a few times, the expression on his face became rather strange.
It has been two days since the store opened, but there is nothing in the store. Instead, the store has been decorated into an office. Is this for fun? Or is it a joke?
If this was his child, his legs would have been broken and he would have been locked up at home.
"Look, of course you won't disappoint Boss Xiao Chen."
Zhou Quansheng took out a small jewelry box and placed it on his desk.
Chen Wenzhe took a look and saw that the box was still intact and looked like mahogany.
With interest, Chen Wenzhe put on his gloves and picked up the jewelry box.
There is no decoration or paint on the exterior, it is just a simple small box.
However, it is really a mahogany product, but unfortunately it is either precious mahogany or jujube wood.
Jujube wood is a hardwood. After being used for a long time, it becomes shiny and looks very good.
"This is mahogany, not bad!"
"It's mahogany, and it's jujube. It's very strong. It looks like it's old. Maybe it was left over from the Republic of China period."
Chen Wenzhe didn't hide it either. Such a box was not valuable anyway. If purchased online, such a box would not cost more than twelve yuan.
A small, palm-sized box has no decorations, no patterns, and is not lacquerware, so naturally it has little artistic value.
It was opened and there was a pair of gold bracelets inside. This was Zhou Quansheng's purpose.
If you buy and sell a lot of gold, it is inevitable that you will receive some old things.
Gold has a constant value no matter whether it is old or not. Therefore, Zhou Quansheng should have more than just a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets in his hands this week.
The magnificent dragon and phoenix bracelet looks a bit old, but you can't say it's an ancient royal product, right?
If not, it won't last long.
Before the Qing Dynasty, people did not dare to do this at will.
It was only after the Republic of China that gold bracelets of this shape were produced in large quantities.
It is not easy to accurately date such a gold bracelet because it is too ordinary.
It’s also because many jewelry companies in modern times produce bracelets with this style in large quantities.
"Take action?" After reading, Chen Wenzhe asked directly.
