Chapter 223: People are stupid and have more money than Chen Wenzhe
"What price do you want for these? Or four hundred and seventy?"
By this time, Mu Xiaolong was also a little nervous.
He doesn't understand other things, but he still knows the principle of rare things being valuable.
This time he offered so much gold and asked for a high price. He wondered whether Chen Wenzhe would accept it? Would the price be lowered? Also, did he have so much money?
"Don't worry, I'm an honest businessman. I said it would be four hundred and seven, so I'll give you four hundred and seven."
Chen Wenzhe was actually overjoyed. This was an antique that had passed the standard. If he bought it at the modern gold price, he must have made a profit.
Even if he doesn't collect this gold, if he resells it, he will make at least double the profit.
In other words, no matter how much money he paid to Mu Xiaolong today, he would make at least double the profit when he sells it.
After two quick calculations, the total was 9,124 grams. According to the price of 470, it should be 4,288,280 yuan.
"This is a complete set, giving you 4.29 million."
After all, my conscience is a little hard to bear, and what if Mu Xiaolong still has gold products in his hands?
At least the Ming Dynasty gold cup has not appeared yet, so Chen Wenzhe doesn't mind raising the price.
"Four million and three hundred thousand, if I want to pay back the gold in the future, I will definitely come to you!"
Chen Wenzhe was silent for a moment, and then used the calculator to calculate again.
Calculated based on 4.3 million, the average per gram reaches 471.2, which is an acceptable price.
It seems that there is an increase of more than 10,000 yuan, averaging to more than 9,000 grams of gold, but in fact the increase is not much.
"Okay, the price of four hundred and seventy-one grams is still acceptable."
Chen Wenzhe pressed the calculator, and Mu Xiaolong also saw it. Naturally, he also knew that the price per gram had increased by one yuan.
He was very satisfied with this improvement, and Chen Wenzhe was even more satisfied.
Is the price of 470 grams really expensive?
Even if it increases by one dollar per gram, what will happen?
Ever since he obtained the Tang Dynasty treasury, Chen Wenzhe had learned about the price of gold and silver in ancient times.
Except for some gold and silver coins, the price of pure gold products is actually not too high.
For example, in 2018, a batch of gold bars unearthed from sunken ships in the Qing Dynasty were auctioned.
At that auction, the first gold bar was from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, weighing 364.81 grams.
The word "宝" is printed on the upper and lower sides of the front, "Chen Ji" is printed on the gourd in the middle, "Sanyi" is printed on the left and right sides of the back, and "Wangpu" is printed on the gourd in the middle.
It was hammered down at US$45,000, with a transaction price of US$52,875, or approximately RMB 340,000.
The three pieces of Yuanji gold bars that were subsequently auctioned were similar in shape, with the word "宝" on the front and bottom respectively, and the gourd seal "Yuanji" in the middle, but the weights were different.
The first one weighed 366.9 grams, and the transaction price was RMB 55,000, which is approximately RMB 420,000;
The second one weighed 367.51 grams and sold for US$50,000, with a transaction price of approximately RMB 380,000;
The third one weighed 364.71 grams, and the transaction price was 55,000 yuan;
These four are high-quality gold bars, and their price per gram is almost one thousand yuan.
In this auction, an unmarked gold bar was also auctioned. Unlike the other four items, it did not have any imprint of the gold shop's name. It only had the words "twenty-two" engraved on the back.
This one weighs 372.51 grams and sold for US$26,000, which is equivalent to approximately RMB 200,000.
Even the cheapest gold bars without gold bars cost far more than the current price.
Also, in 2018, the price of gold jewelry from several well-known domestic jewelry companies was only 367. How much did the unmarked ancient gold bars cost at that time?
At that time, the price per gram reached 537 yuan. Compared with the price of 367 yuan, the premium per gram reached 170 yuan.
This profit is much higher than simply selling gold.
As for premium gold bars, the price was even higher. At that time, the price per gram reached more than 930 yuan, which was almost 2.5 times the price of gold jewelry at that time.
This is 2.5 times that of gold jewelry, not 2.5 times that of spot gold.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Chen Wenzhe purchasing an ancient gold bar from Mu Xiaolong at the price of gold jewelry.
He didn't ask for much, so he sold it at a premium of 2.5 times, which was 10.72 million.
Compared with the 4.3 million paid, what is it?
Therefore, Chen Wenzhe paid the money very happily.
Of course, he did not forget to sign the contract. This has become standard in his store. No matter what is sold, a formal contract must be signed.
Although every business must pay taxes, this is a citizen's obligation. He has already made a lot of money and will not make mistakes in this regard.
When the transaction is completed, both parties are happy.
Chen Wenzhe is happy because he has made a lot of money.
Mu Xiaolong was also happy because the gold in his hand was sold at a high price and he did not brag, so the audience in the live broadcast room was also excited.
Even some people question that it is not worthwhile to sell gold like this, thinking that those gold bars may be antiques and should command a premium.
However, such normal people are a minority after all, and they were quickly drowned in the saliva of countless viewers.
It’s not that Mu Xiaolong is stupid, it’s that he has nothing to do.
Those who can buy the gold from him as antiques are from the same class as his family. If he wants to sell to those people, not to mention it is embarrassing, but the leakage of the information is enough to make him drink.
Therefore, it is more cost-effective to sell it to an antique store than to sell it to a gold jewelry store.
Of course, in the antique shop, only Chen Wenzhe, who is stupid and rich, is the most suitable.
In fact, in the antique shop, Chen Wenzhe is already very conscientious.
When guys like Mu Xiaolong enter an antique store to sell goods, no matter what they bring, they will sell them at one-third of the market price, or even lower.
Therefore, in other stores, others would give him a price of up to three million.
Otherwise, this guy Mu Xiaolong would not leave happily.
When he arrived at the door, Chen Wenzhe noticed something unusual.
Of course, Mu Xiaolong also discovered that there was actually something happening outside to watch.
He was currently broadcasting live, and seeing the excitement, he naturally wanted to go over and join in.
Chen Wenzhe was afraid of trouble, but this time he couldn't avoid it because the trouble seemed to be in Zhang Yijie's shop.
After squeezing into the crowd, Chen Wenzhe saw Aunt Zhang at first sight. At this time, Aunt Zhang's face was red and there were tears in her eyes.
Seeing this situation, Chen Wenzhe was shocked.
It is not an easy thing to make the aunt of Dahai City cry.
Looking at the others, Chen Wenzhe immediately discovered that the person causing trouble here was actually an internet anchor.
Antique City is a holy place for Internet celebrities to check in, so it is not uncommon for some Internet celebrities to come here. However, it is very awesome to be able to cause trouble here and make the shop owner cry.
Although Chen Wenzhe thinks so too, he will not just sit back and turn a blind eye!
