Disappointedly putting down the bracelet, Chen Wenzhe was not worried. After all, it was a pure gold bracelet. Although there were some impurities, there were very few.
"What's the price?" Zhou Quansheng asked thoughtfully.
"Follow the industry rules, buy it after discounting the color and deducting the craftsmanship fee." Chen Wenzhe said.
Zhou Quansheng immediately said: "We don't have any discounts, but we buy according to the price per gram, and the price of gold on that day shall prevail."
This is biased. There are some problems with old bracelets. There are very few genuine bracelets with three nines. If you don’t hesitate to buy them, who are you kidding?
"Then I will collect it and send it to Boss Zhou's shop." Chen Wenzhe said unceremoniously.
"Are you being unreliable? Did that young man come to your place to sell something at noon today? The price of four hundred and seventy-seven is a high price."
"Haha, if you have something like that, I will definitely buy it at a high price. That thing is not comparable to these ordinary folk bracelets."
"Is that piece not an ordinary gold product? I've been in this business for decades, and you can still tell whether it's a new worker or an experienced worker."
"Do you have an old craftsman with that kind of ability in your shop? If so, you can make a batch for me. I will charge as much as you can. Calculate it based on 471 grams. I think the finished product in your shop will be,
The most we can sell it for is this price, right?”
"This is what you said. After I brought something you didn't want, you stopped accepting it."
"Do you want to take a photo? Maybe you didn't look carefully. I put it on the shelf for a good look."
Judging from Zhou Quansheng's appearance, his behavior was wrong.
If he had seen the craftsmanship of the Gaozu Jinbei, he might not be so confident.
When Zhou Quansheng saw Chen Wenzhe's expression, he didn't dare to brag anymore. He stood up directly and walked over to check it carefully.
Sure enough, looking at it this way, there was something wrong with Zhou Quansheng's expression.
With the advancement of human science and technology, various tools have been invented, which save time and reduce labor intensity, which makes some craftsmen become lazy.
Compared with craftsmen who have worked hard all their lives and relied entirely on handcrafts, modern craftsmen lack not only the slightest bit of skill.
Having been in the gold business for decades, Zhou Quansheng can still tell what is good and what is bad.
Although he doesn't understand antiques, he understands technology.
This gold cup is an imitation of the Ming Dynasty gold dragon-patterned goblet, also called Jin Ou. His teacher taught him this when he was young.
It's a pity that this kind of skill has not been used in decades, and he has long forgotten it.
Looking at the gold cup now, he could only smile bitterly. It was certain that something of this kind of craftsmanship would be purchased at a premium.
And he knew that it must be imitated from the royal goldware.
Because the ancients called cups and basins Ou, gold cups and basins were called Jin Ou. The golden Ou was used as a metaphor for the full moon, implying that the territory was as complete as the full moon and as solid as the Jin Ou.
Therefore, emperors of all dynasties cast golden pots, which meant they were strong and not easily damaged, in order to pray for the stability of the country and the integrity of the territory.
Gold and silver goblets first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, with a strong Western style.
Since the Mongols took over the Central Plains in the Yuan Dynasty, galloping horse liquor and strong grassland culture have gradually penetrated into life.
This golden cup with a large bowl and tall legs inherits the characteristics of the Yuan Dynasty. The cup has a typical official dragon pattern from the Yongxuan period, which is easy to identify.
The Ming Dynasty was the heyday of China's gold manufacturing history, but it followed the laws of the previous dynasty, restricted the common people's use of gold, and implemented strict controls on the mining and smelting of gold and silver mines.
The silver making bureau in the inner court produced large quantities of gold and silver ornaments for the enjoyment of the royal family.
The goldware of the Yongxuan period was mainly daily necessities and jewelry, and the craftsmanship style was inherited and developed from the previous generation.
Techniques such as wire drawing, wire drawing, hammering, carving, and welding are often used here.
However, due to the fact that the Qing Dynasty royal family sold a large number of Ming Dynasty gold wares and made them for use in this dynasty, the Ming Dynasty royal gold wares are now rare, and complete gold wares are even rarer.
Looking at the golden dragon on the golden cup, Zhou Quansheng didn't know what to say for a moment.
At this moment, all he could see was the golden dragon. This golden dragon had smooth curled lips and a bulging belly.
The outer wall has a high relief sculpture of two dragons soaring in the clouds. The dragon's head is slightly slender, its eyes are wide open with anger, its nose is wide and its mouth is sharp, its teeth are sharp, and it spits fire beads. Its beard is swaying in the wind, its body is winding and its scales are distinct;
A high-relief seawater pattern is carved on the foot of the high circle at the bottom of the cup. The seawater is surging and rolling, stirring up thousands of waves. From a distance, the golden cup looks like two dragons soaring above the sea and flying among the clouds;
The inner wall of the cup is polished, and the inner bottom of the cup is finely chiselled;
The bottom of the cup is plain and has no words. The pattern on the cup is majestic and the carving is exquisite. It is small and exquisite and can be held in the palm of the hand to play with.
This was the first time he had seen such a good imitation of a Ming Dynasty gold vessel.
If it can be copied to this extent, there must be something real.
Of course, even if it is an imitation, its craftsmanship is of the highest quality. Just selling this craftsmanship is worth a lot of money.
Zhou Quansheng had nothing to say. He just heard about this incident today and thought that Chen Wenzhe didn't know how high the sky was and accepted things they didn't accept. This was a slap in the face to their seniors. Now that he saw it, he was really capable.
What a discerning person!
Previously, he thought that since Chen Wenzhe was willing to buy old items at a high price and he still had a lot of them in his store, he came here to teach him a lesson. Now it seems that he is really asking for humiliation!
After recycling his old bracelets, they were melted and remade into new jewelry.
If they can really sell it at the market price, they will save effort and will naturally make money.
It's a pity that I haven't seen this tall gold cup before, otherwise he wouldn't come here to embarrass me, and even pay a high price to keep it.
"Boss Chen is awesome. No wonder he can open a shop at such a young age. What a great skill. We will visit him often in the future."
The way Zhou Quansheng looked at Chen Wenzhe was different now.
No one will look down on talented people, they can only try their best to make friends with them.
Zhou Quansheng is a veteran, he has seen many things, so he is naturally able to bend and stretch.
Especially in their line of business, there is a high chance of receiving old jewelry and gold items. If you encounter them in the future, you will definitely need Chen Wenzhe.
"Definitely, definitely. I really don't know much about gold objects. I mainly know some knowledge about antique appraisal."
"Haha, I happen to know how to make goldware, but I don't know much about the styles of the times, etc. This means I don't understand the value given by history. Wouldn't it be a pity if I accidentally melted it and made it into modern jewelry? Boss Chen will do it in the future.
But you need to take good care of me!"
"Easy to say, easy to say, take care of each other. When I receive the gold in the future, I need Boss Zhou to take care of it. You know, our industry requires a lot of funds."
"Ah, can Boss Chen still get gold? We are in the gold business and we are not afraid of too much gold. I can collect as much as you have."
"Then we'll take care of each other from now on?"
Chen Wenzhe smiled. Regardless of whether it was just for the occasion or not, what Zhou Quansheng said this time was very nice.
"Look out for each other, look out for each other."
"Then I'll take care of Boss Zhou's business first. I'll accept these gold bracelets. What price do you want them to be?"
