One hundred and twentieth chapters only for sale, not for sale
"This gourd of yours is carved from Hotan yellow jade. The quality of the jade is good, but the carving is not very good. It looks like it was made by a novice..."
The middle-aged man was also an expert. After playing with it for a while, he told all the advantages and disadvantages of this piece of jade, "Well, I won't take advantage of you. I want this piece of jade for 2,000 yuan...
…”
In fact, these days, as long as the average person spends a little money, he can receive a piece of Hetian jade of similar quality to this one, and then ask a skilled jade craftsman to process it. The cost of one thousand yuan is enough.
It was this person who saw Ye Tian's tender face and was afraid that the price he charged was too low and people would say he was fooling children, so he gave him two thousand yuan. He was considered a kind person.
Ye Tian shook his head, took the jade gourd back from the middle-aged man, and said, "Uncle, this jade belongs to an adult in the family. When I came here, I told you a price. For 2,000 yuan, I... I can't sell it."
ah……"
"Oh? How much do you want to sell it for?"
After hearing Ye Tian's words, the middle-aged man became interested. He started his business by playing with jade. He asked himself that in this game, I am afraid that no one will bid higher than him.
Ye Tian hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "This... this... forget it, uncle, I won't sell this jade..."
It's not that Ye Tian doesn't want to say it, but that he really can't say it. Judging from the prices in the jade market, the price offered by the man in front of him is indeed not low, and it can be seen that he sincerely wants to buy it.
But from another point of view, 2,000 yuan is probably just enough to take a look and let him play with it for a while. Ye Tiandu gave him enough face.
This Hotan jade gourd handle is one of the few pieces of jade that Ye Tianyun raised, and it contains a lot of auspicious energy.
Moreover, the sound of gourd is similar to "Fu Lu", and its shape is round and curved, which seems to be quite blessed. With its small entrance and large belly, it seems to be able to absorb gold, silver and jewelry.
Hanging the wealth status at home or wearing it on the body is equivalent to bringing in wealth, which will not be easily drained out, and has the function of keeping wealth and accumulating wealth.
In addition, if the home feng shui has filthy and evil atmosphere, or the aura is unfavorable, causing harm to the body's health, you can also use a gourd to resolve it. The gourd contains many seeds, which also symbolizes many children and grandchildren, and a prosperous population.
The feng shui classic "Xue Xin Fu" says: "The appearance of the gourd mountain indicates the flow of magic and medicine." Since ancient times, people who are engaged in the professions of doctors, divination, feng shui, fortune telling or fortune telling like to hang a gourd at home or in the office.
to boost your career.
There is also a folk saying that "a gourd in a house will make the family rich", which means that every household must have at least one gourd to attract wealth. It can be seen that gourds are a must-have mascot for good luck at home.
So in a sense, the gourd is almost a natural Feng Shui instrument. According to ancient legends, the Taoist sages loved to carry gourds, which makes sense.
And this jade gourd handle that Ye Tian placed in a feng shui treasure land has an excellent effect of attracting good luck and avoiding evil. Its value cannot be judged based on its own material.
However, Ye Tian could only talk to people who understood these things, but he couldn't say much to the person in front of him. Others wouldn't believe him if he said it, but it would make people laugh, so Ye Tian didn't say much, and just bit him to death.
Sell.
"Little guy, it's not right for you to put this thing on display and not sell it..."
After hearing Ye Tian's words, the middle-aged man said with laughter and tears: "Do you think my bid is low? How about I give you 3,000 yuan?"
This middle-aged man, whose surname was Long Mingfei, was also well-known in the antique shops in the capital. He stopped at Ye Tian's place and attracted many people to gather around him.
"Boss Long, what's wrong? Are you attracted to this piece of jade?"
"Young man, Boss Long is an expert in playing with jade, and the price he offered is fair. I think you'll just sell it..."
"That's right, no one will give me 3,000 yuan to change the land, so Boss Long likes to support the underachievers..."
Many of the onlookers were familiar with Long Fei, and they all started to encourage Ye Tian to sell the jade gourd.
"Not for sale..." Ye Tian didn't say much and directly locked the jade gourd into the glass booth. He took out this thing today just to try his luck.
It would be good to be able to sell it, maybe he could repay the money he borrowed from Wei Hongjun. If he couldn't sell it, Ye Tian wouldn't suffer any losses, and he could just put it in his pocket and take it back.
"Hey, hey, let me tell you, why are you all crowded here?"
Just when a group of people were surrounding Ye Tian's booth, Wei Hongjun's voice rang out, "I said, Boss Long, what's the matter, are you attracted to that piece of jade?"
"It's Mr. Wei, haha, that's all I saw, I haven't decided yet..."
The antique circle in Sijiucheng is so big. Long Fei and Wei Hongjun are also familiar with each other, and they have done each other's business. The few pieces of ancient jade in Wei Hongjun's home were bought from Long Fei's shop.
"Xiaoye is my junior, Boss Long. If you want to buy it, the price must be fair..." After hearing what Long Fei said, Wei Hongjun said half-truthfully.
Long Fei pointed at Ye Tian with a wry smile and said, "I did offer a price, but...he didn't want to sell..."
"Your price is too low, Boss Long. This jade doesn't cost 2,000 yuan, but you can't take it away..." Wei Hongjun didn't know Long Fei's asking price, and wanted to help Ye Tian raise the price.
"2000? Boss Long has already paid 3000..."
"Yes, Mr. Wei, this jade is not yours, right? The price is already quite high..."
Before Long Fei could answer, the people watching the excitement had already spoken for him. Wei Hongjun was stunned when he heard this. How could he believe that he was not helping Ye Tian to raise the price, but helping Long Fei to lower the price?
"3000?"
Liu Wei'an was stunned when he heard the price. He touched Ye Tian and whispered: "Xiaotian, the price is not low. If you want to sell it, you can sell it. Later, my uncle will help you find two more pieces of jade like this...
"
According to Liu Wei'an's understanding of the jade market, the cost of collecting two pieces of topaz like this will definitely not exceed 800 yuan. Even if you hire someone to carve it, it will only cost a few hundred yuan more for carving. In total, you will make 2,000 yuan in vain.
.
"Brother-in-law, I don't want to sell it, I'm just showing it off..."
Ye Tian told Liu Wei'an before that he had the purpose of displaying the jade gourd, but now he just repeated it again and it didn't seem abrupt.
However, Liu Wei'an still felt that it was a pity. If he had set up a stall in Panjiayuan, he would never be able to sell it at such a price. "Xiaotian, others probably can't give such a high price. Are you really not going to sell it?"
"Not selling!" Ye Tian shook his head firmly.
"Okay, Boss Long, forget it if he doesn't want to sell it. It's not an ancient jade. By the way, I just saw a jade pendant. The man said it was from the Warring States Period. Old Long, please help me palm the eyes..."
Wei Hongjun was a man with clear eyes. When he saw that Ye Tian was determined not to sell, he immediately laughed, changed the topic, grabbed Long Fei, and walked to a booth in front.
"Xiaotian, you can play here, I'll accompany Brother Wei to take a look..." Although it felt a bit pity, Liu Wei'an didn't say anything. After all, the jade belongs to Ye Tian, and he has the right to sell it or not.
"Uncle, go ahead..." Ye Tian smiled and didn't care.
People who understand antiques may not necessarily understand Feng Shui. Ye Tian knew that the occasion he chose was wrong. If he took this object to some "Environmental Consulting Consultants Co., Ltd." in Guangdong, I'm afraid someone would want it.
Seeing that there was no excitement to be seen, the people who were originally gathered around Ye Tian suddenly dispersed.
Even if anyone was interested in this jade gourd, as soon as they heard what happened just now, they turned around and left. When they got to the back, no one was even looking at it, leaving Ye Tian standing there alone.
However, Wei Hongjun gained a lot this morning. Not only did he get two pieces of ancient jade, but he also spent more than 20,000 yuan on a piece of porcelain dating from the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty.
This piece of porcelain was given to him by Liu Weian. After buying it, Wei Hongjun took it to Mr. Wu to have it appraised, and it was confirmed to be genuine. Moreover, there were relatively few porcelains fired in the Jiaqing Dynasty, so there is a lot of room for value appreciation in the future.
.
After delivering the porcelain to the car below, Wei Hongjun returned to the exhibition hall, checked the time, and said to Ye Tian: "Ye Tian, put the keys away, let's go eat first..."
Lunch was arranged by the organizer. It was in the buffet restaurant of this five-star hotel. Most of the people participating in this transaction had already passed by.
As for each person's collection, some of the valuable ones are carried with him, and those that don't feel very valuable are placed in the exhibition booth. Anyway, you need an invitation letter to enter the exhibition hall, and there are security guards. Under normal circumstances, nothing will happen.
question.
"Okay, let's eat first..."
Ye Tian nodded and did not put away the jade gourd. This feng shui gourd was originally cultivated by him, and even if it was lost, he could deduce its whereabouts.
"Uncle Wei, the buffet is better. No matter how much you eat, the price is the same. If you want to treat me in the future, just invite me to the buffet..."
After eating this meal for more than an hour, Ye Tiancai burped and returned to the exhibition hall with Wei Hongjun and Liu Weian who had been waiting for him for a long time. It had been four or five months since he came to Yanjing, and this meal was the most satisfying.
.
"If you eat like this, I'm afraid this five-star hotel will also close..."
After hearing Ye Tian's words, Wei Hongjun smiled bitterly. Although he had known that Ye Tian could eat it, the way Ye Tian ate it just now scared him. The plates on the table could almost be piled up into a small mountain.
.
Moreover, Ye Tian is a very tricky eater. He doesn't even touch anything like fried rice. He only eats fish, meat, seafood, high protein and high price. Wei Hongjun thought in his heart, even if this meal costs seven or eight dollars.
Hundred, I'm afraid Ye Tian has eaten it back.
"Huh? Xiaotian, those people surrounding it seem to be your booth, right?"
After entering the exhibition hall, Liu Wei'an saw three people of different ages standing next to Ye Tian's booth, pointing at the jade gourd in the glass cabinet and saying something...
