In the past few days since returning to Pengcheng, Zhuang Rui has read a lot of books on antique appreciation. Combined with some historical allusions he has read, he found that he can get a lot of happiness in the process of collecting, so Zhuang Rui
I also became very interested in the antique business.
I wasn't interested in collecting antiques before. On the one hand, I was short of money and didn't have the spare money. At the same time, I was out of town and was under a lot of pressure in life, so I didn't have the time or mood to pay attention to such things. But now, because of the need for aura in my eyes,
, Zhuang Rui had to get in touch with this industry, but he did not position himself as a collector.
If you ask Zhuang Rui if he likes this manuscript and the Sanheliu gourd sold yesterday, Zhuang Rui will definitely answer that he likes it very much. However, in Zhuang Rui's view, pure collectors must have strong financial resources.
Successful people like Yang Wei's father, and young white-collar workers like him who have just solved the problem of food and clothing, do not dare to expect to have all these good things in their arms.
Since Zhuang Rui has this idea, he will naturally make the best use of everything and pursue maximizing profits. Perhaps when he has the financial strength, he can also consider collecting some objects that interest him.
In fact, in the current domestic collecting industry, although there are not all pure collectors who can only get in and out, they are definitely rare, not one in ten. Many people are collecting antiques while constantly selling or selling them.
Exchanging the objects you collect with others is selling to raise the collection. This practice not only allows all kinds of antiques to circulate in the market, but also greatly relieves the economic pressure on collectors.
Zhuang Rui didn't know much about the collecting world, and he didn't know that his idea was actually the choice of most collectors. However, Zhuang Rui, who majored in finance, could naturally judge what would be most beneficial to him.
"Brother Song, when I bought this manuscript, I actually just wanted to help the old lady. Liu Chuan also knew that I didn't read much of the manuscript at the time. Even now, I don't know how much the manuscript is worth. Song
Brother, if you like it, just give it to me at the cost price I paid for it and just take it.”
Although Zhuang Rui decided to sell the manuscript, he did not want others to regard him as a profit-seeking villain. Anyway, these people present did not know his original intention of purchasing the manuscript. Besides, he was not prepared to lose money at the time.
He is mentally prepared, so Zhuang Rui doesn't mind portraying himself as a good young man who is willing to do good and good at charity in the new era.
Some people may ask, since you want to sell it at a high price, why do you want to transfer the manuscript to Song Jun at the price you received? This is actually very simple. Song Jun is not the only expert present. Even if Zhuang Rui is really willing to do both
Sold to him for 10,000 yuan, I'm afraid Song Jun would be too embarrassed to buy it. If he dared to take advantage of this, Shopkeeper Lu and Boss Wang on the side would definitely not agree.
And after Zhuang Rui said this, Song Jun, in front of those two people, could only offer a price higher than the market price, and not lower than or equal to the market price of the manuscript. Otherwise,
Rumors spread that Song Jun was dishonest and deceived outsiders.
As soon as Zhuang Rui said this, everyone here looked at him a little differently. Lei Lei and Qin Xuanbing knew about Zhuang Rui's family background, and they couldn't help but admire them. Although they didn't take money very seriously, if
Switching roles with Zhuang Rui, the two of them asked themselves that they would never be able to transfer this manuscript, which can be called a national treasure, to others at such a low price so freely.
When Shopkeeper Lu and Boss Wang looked at Zhuang Rui, their eyes were full of undisguised admiration. Naturally, they would not take advantage of Zhuang Rui. However, the free and easy and generous attitude shown by Zhuang Rui was something to be admired based on their net worth.
Not as good as.
Song Jun, on the other hand, the more he looked at Zhuang Rui, the more he fell in love with him. To be honest, he got into the collecting business all because of his grandfather. Song Jun's grandfather was originally from a scholarly family. He joined the army in his early years and was called a Confucian general in the army.
After retiring to the second line, he fell in love with the collecting industry. Song Jun, who grew up with his grandfather, also fell in love with this industry under his influence, and got to know many experts and collectors in the field of collecting.
Song Jun is different from King Lu. He only lives in Pengcheng temporarily, and Pengcheng's property only accounts for a small part of his net worth. With his financial strength, Qianer and eight million people will not take him seriously at all.
What he admired about Zhuang Rui was his cheerfulness, which was enough for Song Jun, who grew up in the military compound, to regard Zhuang Rui as a confidant.
Of all the people in the venue, Liu Chuan was the most surprised. However, he was not shocked by the righteousness shown by Zhuang Rui. It was because no matter how he looked at Zhuang Rui, he could not connect him with the image of Gao Daquan in his mind.
Together, others might believe Zhuang Rui's words, but for Liu Chuan, he wouldn't believe even a word.
This profiteer has been encouraging him to resell stickers in school since he was in the fourth grade of elementary school. When he was in junior high school, he used the two people's New Year's money to lend money at high interest rates. Although this guy was quite loyal and would suffer the consequences with him every time after an incident happened.
Liu Chuan's motto in life, "Don't take advantage of the bastard," seems to have been taught to him by his brother in front of him, who behaved righteously and Lingran.
Among the people present, there were some who admired them, some who felt inferior, some who appreciated them, and some who did not believe them from the bottom of their hearts. There was also one person who was extremely depressed, and that was Xu Wei. He originally wanted to change the subject to let Zhuang Rui.
He made a fool of himself in front of everyone, but he didn't expect that his words would make everyone look at him differently. Even Miss Qin, who had always treated him sincerely, looked at Zhuang Rui a little differently.
"We'll see how you make a fool of yourself when you review those objects later." Xu Wei could only curse Zhuang Rui secretly in his heart.
Naturally, others would not know Xu Wei's dirty thoughts. Song Jun wrapped the manuscript, put it back in front of Zhuang Rui, and said: "Brother Zhuang, I can't take advantage of you. Let's pay according to the market price."
, how about asking Shopkeeper Lu to come up with a price and give it to me if you think it’s suitable?”
Looking back, Song Jun said to Shopkeeper Lu and Boss Wang: "Both of you know that I like to collect some rare ancient books, calligraphy and paintings. Raise your hands, and let me have this item today."
Shopkeeper Lu is a miscellaneous person, and most of Boss Wang's collections are bronzes. Although the two of them are also very concerned about Wang Shizhen's manuscript, they don't have the idea that Song Jun is bound to get it. Besides, they also know that with their own
With his net worth, there is no way he can compete with Song Jun.
Shopkeeper Lu said: "This item is a good thing. Everyone wants it, but the two of us can't afford it. Xiao Song is taking advantage of you. Let's listen to Xiao Zhuang's opinion first."
Zhuang Rui knew that if he insisted on what he just said now, he would be acting a bit artificial, so he said cheerfully: "Don't ask Shopkeeper Lu to give a price. Brother Song, just give a price."
"Brother Zhuang, Brother Zhuang has received this love, and we have become friends. However, my price for this thing is not appropriate. Shopkeeper Lu should decide the price."
Song Jun shook his head and said that he didn't care about spending more money. What he cared about was his reputation. In this industry, without a good reputation, this way of communication between Tibetan friends would be cut off.
