Chapter 321 Earned more than a thousand times! (Part 1)
"Xiaojing, you should think it over before making a decision." He Qing said sternly, "I really don't know how much your antique crystal cup is worth. I only know that it is relatively rare. You may have sold it for less than 300,000 yuan. Of course,
, or it may not be worth the price.”
His words seemed extremely candid and unabashed.
Although he was very optimistic about Xiaojing's crystal cup, he really didn't know its market price. The price of 300,000 yuan might be too high or too low. Everything was uncertain.
However, there is a fact that crystals of comparable quality cannot be compared with expensive gems such as jade and ruby. Good jade and other gems are priced per gram, and no matter how good the crystal is, it is difficult to sell one.
Come at a sky-high price.
Therefore, the price of ordinary crystal products is not high, even if it is an antique that is over a thousand years old.
But collecting is often similar to buying stocks and other investments. It involves certain risks. If you are lucky, you will make a profit. In the jargon, this is called "picking up the slack". If you are not lucky, you will lose money. This is called "eye-catching".
But no matter what, He Qing is willing to spend 300,000 yuan to buy Xiaojing's old crystal cup. Even if he doesn't buy the right one, he won't lose much. It's only 300,000 yuan. For him now, it's completely
It's a drop in the bucket.
"Of course I have thought about it!" Xiaojing nodded without hesitation, "Mr. He, I trust you and am willing to sell you this crystal cup."
She looked a little anxious, maybe she had something hidden, she just wanted to sell the things as soon as possible and get enough funds.
He Qing nodded lightly and said, "Okay then. Xiaojing, are you in urgent need of money?"
He seemed to have figured out the other person's thoughts, and sure enough, he heard Xiaojing reply: "Yes, it's a bit urgent. My brother got married and bought a house, but something happened in the middle, and he used the funds that he had prepared.
It's over, but now the payment deadline is coming, and the landlord gave him a deadline to collect it within a week, otherwise it will be considered a breach of contract and the deposit will not be refunded to us. After this happened, my parents tried their best to collect some, but still
A little less, probably more than 200,000, and tomorrow is the last day. Things are very urgent!"
He talked about the difficulties his family was facing in detail. After hearing this, He Qing looked stunned. He said solemnly: "Then the three hundred thousand should be almost enough. Xiaojing, if you have no objection, I will give it to you right away."
You write a check. You just take the check and cash it in the bank. Miss Cai and I are friends, you should trust me. If you are worried, I can go to the bank with you later."
Xiaojing hurriedly shook her head and said: "No, of course I believe you! If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't sell this antique to you. You know, you are very honest and told all about these two items."
He told me, and he didn’t hide anything.”
She was a little excited at this moment, but He Qing smiled slightly and said: "This is what it should be. If you ask me to appraise something for you, of course I have to tell the truth. What's more, you are Miss Cai's friend, so I have to do my best.
"
When he heard He Qing's words, Cai Weilan, who had been sitting quietly aside, showed a look of relief on his face, as if he was quite proud, because He Qing had treated her as a good friend and had deep friendship with her.
Xiaojing said: "But other appraisers generally don't do this. Every time you go to them to appraise something, they won't tell the truth. They will only try to deceive you and try to buy it at the lowest price.
"
"Those are just people who are looking for petty gains." He Qing said, "Because when you go to them for appraisal, it becomes a relationship between the seller and the buyer. If the thing is better, they will exaggerate all the faults.
, to discourage you, so I can get it cheaply. I never thought of buying your stuff in the first place, so I won’t hide anything. One is one, two is two, and I will tell you very objectively.”
"Well, that's it." Xiaojing responded, "Now I'm taking this thing to find someone else, and they will definitely not pay such a high price, but the matter is urgent and I have no other way, so this is the only way.
Mr. He, if you are willing to accept this matter from me, I actually have to thank you very much. You helped our family solve a big crisis! If you hadn't said that this cup is more valuable, I wouldn't have thought of it!"
He Qing shook his head and said: "No, shouldn't it be? Okay, I'll write you a check right away."
After he finished speaking, he took out a check book from his pocket, tore it out and opened out three hundred thousand.
Then he handed the cash check to Xiaojing and asked her to withdraw the money.
After getting the check, Xiaojing was grateful and transferred the crystal cup to He Qing.
At this point, the two of them paid and delivered the goods, happily completing the business.
"Mr. He, please help me take a look at these two things now."
After talking to Xiaojing, the young man who came to appraise the treasure said with a smile.
Cai Weilan has already introduced him just now. The man's name is "Xiao Wen" and he is also a friend in the media industry.
"Okay." He Qing nodded and agreed without hesitation, "What kind of antique are you trying to appraise?"
He was also full of curiosity about the two antiques Xiaowen brought, because he had already discovered that the other party was emitting a red light. Although it was not very thick, it was still clear and could be seen at a glance.
What comes out like this may be some sort of treasure, worth a look.
Just listen to Xiaowen's reply: "Show me this piece of ancient jade first. I think it is made of Hetian white jade."
As he spoke, he carefully took out a small ball of cloth from his arms, placed it on the table and unfolded it.
After opening the small ball of cloth, it was clearly visible that a small white jade article was wrapped inside.
The jade article exudes a relatively weak "treasure light", which is quite attractive at first glance.
I saw that the jade was cone-shaped, thickly coated, and mixed with blood and earthy color, like an unearthed cultural relic.
After seeing the thing clearly, He Qing's face couldn't help but change slightly, and he seemed to have figured out the trick.
"To tell you the truth, I also have a hobby of collecting. Of course, it's just my hobby. I rarely collect antiques, so I just play with them casually. I picked up this piece of jade from a small dealer when I visited the Panjiayuan Antique Market.
When it arrived, he said it was blood jade, it has a history of thousands of years, and the jade quality is made of the finest Hetian jade." Xiaowen explained.
He Qing nodded and said: "Yes, it's blood jade. You can see there are blood streaks on it. Xiaowen, the person who sold you the things told the truth. The age of the things is correct. It has a history of thousands of years.
The texture is indeed that of Hetian jade.”
"Is this thing very precious? What exactly is it? Jade articles like this are rare!" Xiaowen said with surprise and joy after hearing what He Qing said.
He Qing said: "It is more expensive, but I can't say how precious it is, because I have never seen this kind of jade. Yours is called 'Yu Han', and jade is also called 'Fan Han', 'Jade Sai Jiu'
The object in the mouth of the deceased in Qiao' was a jade object placed in the mouth of the deceased, so it is an unearthed cultural relic and was used for funerals in ancient times."
"Ah?! Was it used by a dead person?!" Hearing this, Xiaowen's face changed drastically and he said in horror, "I didn't expect it to be like this, otherwise I wouldn't have accepted it!"
He Qing said calmly: "That's not necessarily true. Doesn't it mean that unearthed cultural relics are unlucky? Aren't most of the antiques displayed in the museum come from ancient tombs? You probably missed it. This is actually a good thing.
The jade articles are of great collection value, it would be even better if we could collect all the 'Nine Aperture Jade Plugs'!"
"The key point is that it was used by a dead person, and there is still blood on it. It's scary to think about it. Mr. He, I don't know if you like it or not. Why don't I give it to you at a low price?"
Already." Xiao Wen said seriously.
He Qing shook his head without thinking and said: "I won't accept this thing for the time being, you should keep it for now."
He is not afraid that things are unlucky, but he really has no such interest at the moment. What he is interested in is the kind of precious or distinctive antiques. As for "jade", there are still many in the market. If necessary, he can get the so-called
Collect all the "Nine Apertures Jade plugs".
"Leave it to me if you can!"
At this moment, Lin Haitao, who was sitting next to him, spoke with a smile.
"Of course!" Xiaowen agreed readily.
He Qing said happily: "That's good. Let's discuss this business between you two."
He knew that Lin Haitao was a jade lover, and now that he had come across a "jade" with good appearance and texture, it was natural for him to be interested in purchasing it.
Later, Lin Haitao discussed the price with Xiaowen, and finally the price was settled at 20,000 yuan, and the business was successfully concluded.
Afterwards, He Qing only felt funny in his heart. Xiaojing and Awen were not here to seek appraisal. They were clearly here to sell things, but wouldn't it be better for each to get what he needed?
It's almost done for Xiaojing and the others, and now there's only one antique left.
Soon, Awen picked up something from the floor behind him and put it on the table to show it to He Qing and the others.
It was a dark blue porcelain pot, which at first glance only looked gray and unremarkable.
But in He Qing's view, the first impression that thing gave people was unusual because the aura emanating from it was relatively strong.
To be honest, when he saw the kettle-like celadon kettle in front of him clearly, He Qing was a little dumbfounded, because that kettle seemed to be more distinctive than ordinary kettles in ancient times. The shape was very distinctive, but what kind of kettle was it?
For a moment he knew nothing.
But this couldn't stop him. At that moment, he "activated" the superpower without anyone noticing, and started to watch the images recorded above.
Soon he saw the ins and outs of things and had a general understanding.
"The uses of this kettle are really extraordinary, so interesting?!"
Upon seeing it, He Qing was amazed. He seemed to see the wonderful use of the kettle.
