When the white-haired old man made the request, He Qing and Gu Qing looked at each other in astonishment. This was something they had not expected. They didn't pay attention to the people around them at all when they were discussing the blue and white porcelain bird food jar. Who knew that the stroller next to them
The old man at the street stall also became interested in that thing.
"Old gentleman, do you want to buy this bird food can?" After being stunned, He Qing turned around and asked, since someone is now asking him to buy it, it would be great.
He Qing didn't come to this antique street to collect treasures. He doesn't understand antiques now, and he doesn't have the taste for it. He just wants to make money to treat his seriously ill brother, that's all.
So after he finds something, his first thought is to resell it and make a profit from it.
I just heard that the old man offered 12,000 yuan as soon as he opened his mouth. This price was twice what He Qing paid for the bird food can.
In the blink of an eye, he can make a net profit of 6,000 yuan. How can he not feel excited?
"Yes." The old man nodded with a smile, "Little brother, I like that bird food can better. Can you give it to me? I won't let you suffer."
"I'm sorry, old gentleman, I haven't thought about it yet, I don't know how to sell it to you." He Qing said with a smile.
In front of the old man, he looked humble and behaved very politely. Although he respected the old man and had a good impression of the kind-hearted old man in front of him, politeness was politeness and business was business. Of course, he could not agree to anything casually.
In fact, He Qing was already doing a quick calculation in his mind. He made a small calculation like this. Gu Qing said that a defective pastel porcelain bird food jar from the Qing Dynasty was worth more than 9,000 yuan, and the one on his hand was worth more than 9,000 yuan.
This bird feeder jar is considered to be a high-quality imitation from the Qing Dynasty. It should be more than nine thousand, because it is intact. But the real situation is that recorded images prove that it is an authentic bird feed jar from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty.
As a result, the price will naturally rise. Selling it for 12,000 yuan is actually not high at all.
After making the calculation, it was obvious that the price offered by the old man could not satisfy He Qing's appetite.
"At least twenty thousand." He Qing thought to himself, this was his preliminary estimate.
"It doesn't matter." The old man shook his head and said, "Then you should think about it carefully. The price can still be negotiated."
"Well, okay." He Qing agreed happily. He was very pleased to hear the other person's words. He only thought that selling it for 20,000 yuan shouldn't be a problem.
"Little brother, this is my phone number. If you have thought about it, just call me and tell me the price you like. If it suits me, I will take this bird food can." After a while, the old man handed it to me.
A business card from He Qing.
"No problem, I'll let you know after I think about it." He Qing said quickly.
Then the old man said goodbye and left Gu Qing's antique stall. The other party did not discuss the transaction with He Qing immediately. He Qing himself was not in a hurry. He would just call the other party after thinking about it. He still needed some buffering time. After all,
He knew nothing about the current market situation of bird food cans, so he had to inquire first or look up relevant information online.
"He Qing, that's good. Someone is interested in what you just bought."
After the old man walked away, Gu Qing said with a smile: "I admire you very much. I don't have such good luck. I rarely pick up larger leaks. It seems that you have really good eyesight!"
"I can't say I have any good eyesight. I just came across it while wandering around." He Qing shook his head and said.
He was not speaking modestly, but he was telling the truth. If we just talk about his ability to identify antiques, he is a complete newcomer and can only use the Internet afterwards.
But the Internet is not omnipotent. After all, it is a hodgepodge. The things that can be found are not systematic or authoritative at all. If you want to accurately appraise and price antiques, you can only formally apprentice to learn the art, but the prerequisite is to find an
He is a highly respected and knowledgeable master, but it is not easy for a novice who has just entered the industry and knows few experts.
"Gu Qing, how much do you think this bird food can can be sold for?" He Qing asked immediately.
Gu Qing replied: "I can't say the specifics. The price the old gentleman said is relatively cost-effective."
"What if this is an authentic Xuande porcelain bird food jar?" He Qing asked again.
"Then it's worth a lot of money!" Gu Qing said, "Some people specialize in collecting such elegant things as bird feed cans. If you meet someone who knows the goods, the value will be even greater."
"Right." He Qing nodded. He saw great hope in Gu Qing's words, because he was sure that the bird food jar in his hand was from the Ming Dynasty. Now he lacked an authoritative proof. After all,
He is not an expert. Even if he tells others that his things are genuine, it is just Wang Po's self-promotion, and no one will believe him.
"He Qing, how about I take you to have a look." Gu Qing suddenly suggested.
"What are you looking at?" He Qing looked at her in surprise.
Gu Qing said: "Just find someone to help you identify it. It may be genuine Xuande porcelain. If it is a bird food jar from an official kiln in the Ming Dynasty, it will be very precious."
"Okay." Hearing what Gu Qing said, He Qing couldn't help but cheer up and said, "Do you know any master?"
Gu Qing replied: "We have a professional antique appraisal agency here, but they all charge a fee, and the fees are often relatively high, which is not cost-effective. I will take you to an acquaintance, and he will definitely be able to find a way to date this thing for you.
, we will be able to price it by then.”
"Well, that's good work." He Qing said happily. This was what he wanted. It would be too blind to search randomly on the Internet, but it would be very different to ask a professional appraiser to help check the situation.
"Why are you being polite? It's just a little effort." Gu Qing said with a smile, and then she called a middle-aged man next to her and asked the stall owner to help take care of the stall, and the man agreed to her enthusiastically.
So at that moment, Gu Qing took He Qing towards the place where her acquaintance was. On the way, Gu Qing suddenly said: "He Qing, I have already called my sister about introducing you to a job. She said it is no problem and she wants you to
I’ll go take a look on Monday, which is the day after tomorrow, and I’ll go with you then.”
"Well, then I will also make preparations and hope to be lucky enough to join that jade carving factory." He Qing responded.
Seeing that the job search was getting better, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Finding a job that is more stable and has higher income is currently necessary. After all, it is impossible to hunt for treasure every day. Anyway, you can still hunt for treasure after work, and now
He has superb jade carving skills and believes that he can make great achievements in this field.
"He Qing, we are here. My friend works in this antique shop. This is the largest antique shop in the local area and is very famous. There is a treasure appreciation exchange meeting every weekend at eight o'clock in the evening. Unfortunately, it is only
People within their team communicate with each other, and outsiders cannot get in." Gu Qing introduced in detail.
They came to an antique store that looked very grand. They saw the three words "Jianbaozhai" written in flying colors on the gold signboard, which was very eye-catching.
Under the leadership of Gu Qing, He Qing stepped into the "Appreciating Treasures Room" calmly.
Suddenly, a strong ancient charm rushed towards me...
