After walking far away, Lin Haitao couldn't help but ask.
He Qing smiled meaningfully, nodded slightly and said, "Well, it's a 'prize item'."
Lin Haitao breathed in a low voice and said: "So, this big blue and white bowl is an important item. Fine porcelain from official kilns in the past dynasties is very valuable. Each piece can cost millions, over ten million, or even hundreds of millions."
There are quite a few of them. You just spent 300,000 yuan to buy it from the boss. Didn’t you make a huge profit?!"
He Qing shook his head and said: "It's hard to say this thing. It depends on who is interested in it. If it is a poor person, the price he can offer may be very low. If it is an ordinary person, the price will be average. But once
If a wealthy person takes a fancy to it, then you can probably sell it for any amount you want. That’s how antiques are,
Unlike the items we use in our daily lives, it does not have a set price. It can be high or low, so it is difficult to judge. The transaction rate of this kind of "prize" in the market is relatively low, so it may be worth even 300,000 yuan.
No, but it’s possible to sell it for a million dollars. It all depends on its ‘chance’.”
"Yes." He Qing's words were a bit profound. Lin Haitao seemed to understand but he still nodded in agreement.
"Brother Qing, look, that group of people seems to be following us!"
Suddenly, Suning who was following behind said hello in a deep voice.
"Who is it?" He Qing glanced back subconsciously.
Suning said: "It's the group that made trouble just now!"
He Qing responded: "Yes, I saw it. It's okay. Just follow it. We haven't done anything wrong. Are we worried that they won't be able to follow us?"
"It's better to be careful. Just now you spoke for the stall owner, and that guy was so angry that he was afraid that they would have trouble with you later." Although He Qing didn't take the group of people following him at all, Lin Haitao was still on guard.
He was afraid that the group of people with bad background would be harmful to He Qing.
He Qing still said calmly: "Don't worry about them, let's go."
After that, he turned back and continued walking forward calmly.
Lin Haitao and Suning followed closely behind.
After a while, the group really caught up and blocked He Qing's way.
"Brother, please stay!" a man's voice shouted.
"What's the matter?" He Qing stopped and asked calmly.
The person who called him was none other than the young man with whom he had a red-faced argument.
Lin Haitao was the person they hated from the beginning!
The man grinned and said with a smile: "I'm sorry. I really offended you just now. It's because I can't see Taishan. It turns out that brother, you have such good eyesight, I admire you very much!"
His attitude unexpectedly changed 180 degrees. A few minutes ago, he was dismissive of He Qing. In the blink of an eye, he treated He Qing like a brother and behaved very politely.
"I don't dare take it!" He Qing quickly waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, is there anything you can do? Otherwise, please borrow it. We still have important things to deal with."
The man shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother, please don't leave in a hurry. We have something to ask for and we won't delay you for a long time."
He Qing said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, just tell me, we don't have a lot of time."
The man pointed to a middle-aged man standing quietly aside and introduced: "This is Mr. Li. He wants to chat with you. Just have a few words."
"Oh?" He Qing looked at the middle-aged man.
I saw that the man was about fifty years old, wearing a suit and leather shoes, and he was dressed very decently. At a glance, he knew that he was the kind of person who had a successful career.
He Qing could also naturally see that the middle-aged man in front of him who exuded the aura of a wealthy businessman was the leader of the young man's group and played an important role.
"Just say what you want to say." Facing the middle-aged man, He Qing said directly without saying hello first.
Although he looked very cold on the surface, his heart was full of turbulence, but no one knew what thoughts he was running through at this moment.
The middle-aged man named Mr. Li smiled at He Qing and said, "Young man, you have really good eyesight. I admire you very much!"
"You are exalting." He Qing shook his head and said.
"He is a Japanese?!" Then he thought to himself.
Because the man's voice sounded "increasingly" and he spoke Mandarin that was not fluent, he was obviously a foreigner. Only foreigners speak Chinese like that.
Although it is not certain that the successful person in front of them is Japanese, but through their actions just now, it is easy to think that the leader is Japanese.
"No, you are too modest." Mr. Li shook his head humbly and said, "Your taste is inferior to us! To tell you the truth, I have always loved collecting antiques, not only from China, but from all over the world.
I will selectively collect some of the antiques and cultural relics. After decades of persistence, I have learned a little bit of identification knowledge, but compared to yours, it really can only be said to be superficial. Some people say that you are
It’s no exaggeration to say that he is an appraisal genius in the collecting world!”
He spoke in a crackling manner, which was very flattering, but He Qing didn't seem to appreciate it, and just said lightly: "Mr. Li, please make it clear if you have anything to say. We have to leave right away, and we don't have time to accompany you.
.”
Mr. Li touched his nose and said with a somewhat embarrassed look: "I have nothing else to do, I just have a request."
"What?" He Qing asked.
Mr. Li replied: "We originally liked the big blue and white bowl with 'Baby Play Picture', but in the end we misjudged it and didn't take it. Now we know that we missed a good thing. If it hadn't been for your advice, we would have never taken it."
Don't know what that is
The "appreciation vessel" is a fine porcelain from the official kiln of the Ming Dynasty. You just spent 300,000 to buy it from the boss. I wonder if you can consider giving me that bowl. I am willing to pay 300,000.
Ten thousand, how about letting you earn ten thousand at once?"
He put on a very generous look, but after understanding what he meant, He Qing and Lin Haitao couldn't help laughing, thinking that Mr. Li really knows how to do business. The things he bought for 300,000 yuan were still warm.
He actually only paid 310,000.
Perhaps he felt that the profit of ten thousand yuan was a large amount for He Qing and others, enough to seduce them, but He Qing's appetite was much greater than he imagined.
"Mr. Li, are you kidding?" He Qing said with a bitter smile, "I think you don't understand the market, right? This is a fine product from the official kiln and a gift from the emperor. Do you think you can get it for three to four hundred thousand?"
"
"Then how much do you want?" Hearing He Qing's question, Mr. Li's face darkened and he lowered his voice and said, "But you only paid 300,000 yuan! The price I gave you is already too much."
He Qing said: "The price of antiques fluctuates from one moment to the next. It was 300,000 just now, but it is not 300,000 now. Since you have been in this business for so long, you should know what 'picking up leaks' and what is '
Did you get a punch in the eye?"
"I know." Mr. Li said blankly, "Then tell me how much you want. Please give me a price. I really like that piece of porcelain so I am willing to negotiate with you and offer a high price."
He Qing shook his head without hesitation and said: "I'm sorry, I haven't considered selling this thing yet. Even if I do, it will never be at such a price."
"Then how much is your minimum price? Five hundred thousand?" Mr. Li asked.
He Qing made it clear that it was more than 300,000 to 400,000 yuan, so he offered a price of 500,000 yuan. Just now he wanted to send the beggar away, but now he finally got the idea and raised the price to 500,000 yuan, which was 200,000 yuan more than the original price.
For ordinary people, this is a lot of money, but He Qing is not an ordinary person, and his thoughts are not something that Mr. Li and others can fathom.
"Forget it, I can't talk to you now." He Qing still shook his head without thinking and flatly refused.
"If you think half a million is too little, let's go with 600,000, or at most 800,000!" Mr. Li quickly changed his mind and raised the price step by step.
However, He Qing remained unmoved, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I'm sorry."
After saying this, he walked away without any explanation.
Lin Haitao and Suning followed closely.
"Brother Qing, that person is willing to pay 800,000 yuan, but you won't sell it?! Is this thing really so good?!" Lin Haitao caught up and asked.
He Qing said: "If it's someone else, there's nothing to say. You can consider it, but he's a Japanese. As a rule, I never do business with Japanese people. If I want to do that, I have to make enough money!"
"He is Japanese?!" Lin Haitao and Suning were surprised together.
He Qing nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, he is Japanese, the mysterious Mr. Li just now. Haitao, how about we make a bet?"
"What bet?" Lin Haitao asked him.
He Qing said: "I bet Mr. Li and the others will come and ask me. They will not give up because they think this piece of porcelain of mine is very profitable and is a great treasure."
"Isn't it a big treasure?" Lin Haitao was confused by his words.
"Haha, you will know later." He Qing said with a smile, his words were mysterious and difficult to understand.
Lin Haitao seemed to suddenly think of something, his eyes flickered slightly and he said: "Brother Qing, do you want to play with that group of Japanese?"
He Qing said: "They are too arrogant and want to dampen their spirit. Haitao, I just tried to catch the big fish with a long-term goal. The Japanese named Li must have a good background. I am very curious about what he is like."
people."
"Well, I understand!" Lin Haitao nodded vigorously.
He vaguely understood He Qing's true thoughts, but he never imagined that there was a bigger idea brewing in He Qing's heart.
Sure enough, as soon as He Qing and Lin Haitao finished speaking, someone quickly chased after them.
