Su Xiaofan withdrew his gaze with some disappointment. If Tong Dongjie, a rich man, didn't take action, it would be difficult to sell this Song Ding kiln brush washer.
"Such a rare object, Xiao Su, don't you consider collecting it yourself?"
Everyone present saw what Su Xiaofan meant, and Zhao Zhengshan was even more puzzled.
Zhao Zhengshan has never sold any of the things he picked up on Taobao in so many years. He keeps them all on the antique shelf at home as his own trophies.
"Uncle Zhao, my dad is different from your dad."
Su Xiaofan smiled and made a joke. Although his father has not been so cheating recently, his financial resources do not allow him to collect antiques like Zhao Zhengshan.
"Xiao Su, do you really want to sell?"
Jing Shizhen looked at Su Xiaofan, this lucky boy. He had never seen someone pick up such a big leak in many years.
"Uncle Jing, I'm in the antique business. Why don't you sell it and keep it?"
Su Xiaofan nodded and said: "I'm still young, and I'm not old enough to drink tea every day and appreciate my collection. If I sell these, I might be able to find something better."
"What you said makes sense. If you can't get into that kind of game, only people with family backgrounds like Zhengshan can afford it."
Jing Shizhen nodded and said to Su Xiaofan: "The objects identified in my Jingxin Hall are destined to be related to Jingxin Hall. If you really want to sell it, I will show you three ways."
"Uncle Jing, tell me, I'm listening." Su Xiaofan laughed immediately when he heard this. He knew that Uncle Jing was helping him.
"The first way is, you take 500,000, and I will issue you an appraisal certificate. You can take this Dingyao brush washer to the auction house and entrust them to auction it."
Jing Shizhen raised a finger. He was not killing Su Xiaofan, but the items appraised by Jingxintang. The fee was based on the value of the item itself. Jing Shizhen charged 500,000 for this brush wash, which was still considered a gift to Su Xiaofan.
Everything is discounted.
Moreover, the appraisal issued by Jing Shizhen proved that it was a gold-lettered sign, and it would definitely be a green light to be auctioned at the auction house.
"Uncle Jing, please suggest the second way."
Su Xiaofan shook his head. He didn't have any foundation in the antique shop, and he didn't know anyone from the auction house. If he was cheated, he would lose all his money.
"The second way is for you to entrust this Song Ding kiln brush washer to Jingxintang for auction."
Jing Shizhen picked up her mobile phone and took a look at it, and said: "It's July now, and there are still two months until the Xiangjiang Autumn Auction. I will let the auction house build momentum for this lot. I think it will be a good one by then."
price.
However, Jingxintang needs to charge 40% of the auction price, and the auction house’s commission after the transaction, as well as the seller’s tax, will be borne by you..."
"Uncle Jing, what is the approximate proportion of commissions and taxes?" Su Xiaofan asked. He didn't know anything about these.
"Normal auction houses will charge a commission of five to ten percent. If Jingxin Hall comes forward, it will be about two to three percent."
Jing Shizhen said: "The tax is your personal income tax. After deducting some expenses, it is about 20%."
"Damn it, so dark?" Su Xiaofan calculated the score in his mind.
Even if this engraved brush wash can be sold for 20 million, after removing the 40% given to Jingxin Hall, there will still be 12 million left, and then removing about 22% of commissions and taxes, I can
You can probably get more than 9 million, which is less than half of the transaction price.
"Let me tell you about the third option."
Seeing that Su Xiaofan didn't seem to be very happy with the second item, Jing Shizhen didn't wait for him to ask and said directly: "You can also choose to launder the money and sell it to Jingxintang."
"Jingxin Hall still collects antiques?" As soon as Su Xiaofan said this, he knew that he had said something stupid.
"How fresh. Jingxintang doesn't accept antiques, so do the antiques they sell fall from the sky?"
Jing Shizhen laughed, "Not a lot of Ding kiln white porcelain survives. Maybe this wash can be sold for a higher price. I won't take advantage of you. If I sell it to Jingxintang, you will receive 12 million, plus taxes and fees."
Jingxintang paid for it for you."
"sold!"
After Su Xiaofan hesitated for a moment, he agreed immediately. He had no way to sell it, so he worked hard to sell it, but the final harvest may not be as high as the price Jing Shizhen gave him.
"You kid, you earn nearly 20 million a day, you should pay attention to your mentality."
Jing Shizhen told Su Xiaofan that if it were Zhao Zhengshan, he would not say this, because more than ten million is not a big number for Zhao Zhengshan.
But Su Xiaofan is different. He used to be a small vendor who set up a street stall. In addition, he is young, so suddenly getting rich may not be a good thing.
"I understand, Uncle Jing, don't worry."
Su Xiaofan nodded. He is the kind of person who has strong self-control and is low-key. He will never go out to show off just because he has money.
And after earning more than 10 million, Su Xiaofan also fully understood the existence of repair value and its significance to him. With repair value, making money is really not a thing for Su Xiaofan.
Using repair points to repair antiques is really cost-effective. Su Xiaofan only used two points of repair points in total and got 16 million. He felt that he had underestimated the role of repair points before.
Of course, in the recent period, Su Xiaofan has no plans to make any more moves. If he picks up leaks once or twice, it can be said that he is lucky, but if he can pick up leaks, there must be something wrong.
"Okay, let's go through the formalities. I'll give you the money after signing the contract."
Jing Shizhen said to Su Xiaofan and Zhao Zhengshan: "I still have something to discuss, so I won't leave you two alone..."
Su Xiaofan and Zhao Zhengshan nodded when they heard this. Tong Dongjie had been waiting beside him for a long time. Apparently he had something to ask Uncle Jing for.
Although Jing Shizhen herself was not accompanying her, she called the chief shopkeeper of Yanjing Jingxin Hall in and asked him to handle the procedures for Su Xiaofan, while she and Tong Dongjie entered the inner room.
The chief manager of the Jingxin Hall in Yanjing is named Liu. He was an expert at the New Palace Museum earlier and was recruited to the Jingxin Hall by Jing Shizhen with a high salary. He and Zhao Zhengshan are quite familiar with each other.
Shopkeeper Liu Da, who had been staying in the outer hall just now, didn't know about Su Xiaofan's leak. When he came in, he was surprised when he heard what Zhao Zhengshan said. If Zhao Zhengshan hadn't testified, he would definitely not believe it.
Compared with the Huanghuali pen holder that I just sold, the procedures for this Dingyao pen washer were more complicated. In addition to taking photos, Su Xiaofan also needed to sign documents such as a disclaimer. After waiting for almost an hour, the contract was fully signed.
Finish.
Su Xiaofan was also in a daze when he saw the pop-up information from mobile banking.
I am afraid that the money I make in one day is more than what my father made in ten years. I would like to persuade my father not to go to sea again. Now I seem to be able to support a family.
"Shopkeeper Liu, has Jingxin Hall received any good items recently?"
Seeing that Su Xiaofan had completed the formalities, Zhao Zhengshan and Shopkeeper Liu started chatting, "You also know that it is rare for me to come to Yanjing now. If you have any good things, please bring them out to open my eyes."
"There are a few good things, but they are all collected by Uncle Jing."
When Su Xiaofan heard Shopkeeper Liu address Jing Shizhen, he realized that Uncle Ganqing Jing was not just a title given to him by the younger generation.
Some of the peers who are around the same age also call him uncle Jing. This is a recognition of Jing Shizhen’s position in the antique shop. Only those who followed Jing Shizhen in the early years, such as shopkeeper Yuan from Luochuan, will call him uncle.
Jing Shizhen is Jing Ge.
"My father is about to celebrate his seventy-fifth birthday. I want to find a good object to celebrate his birthday."
After finishing Su Xiaofan's business, Zhao Zhengshan told his purpose of coming and competed with Su Xiaofan on picking up leaks. Otherwise, Zhao Zhengshan also knew several experts with good eyesight in the antique market, so why would he come all the way to the Jingxin Hall?
.
"Oh? This is a happy event. What are you going to give me?"
Shopkeeper Liu naturally knew Zhao Hengjian, who was one of the richest men in the country and could not look down upon ordinary items.
"It's natural to give something meaningful to celebrate your birthday. I wonder what Jingxin Hall has now?"
Zhao Zhengshan shook his head. His father was very picky, and with his age and wealth, he would not measure the value of an object by its price. The key lies in whether he likes it or not.
"There are a lot of good things. The key depends on what you want." Shopkeeper Liu shook his head and said, "I haven't checked the warehouse recently. Some items were just put into the warehouse by Uncle Jing a few days ago. How about I
Check it for you?"
Although he is the top shopkeeper of Yanjing Jingxin Hall, Jing Shizhen spends most of the year in Yanjing, so strictly speaking, this top shopkeeper often does the work of the second shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper Liu, can you let us go to the warehouse and take a look?" Zhao Zhengshan said: "We all know that the good things in Jingxin Hall are stored here in Yanjing. It will also give us a long experience."
In other cities, the antiques in Jingxintang are usually kept in bank safes.
But Yanjing is different, because Yanjing Jingxin Hall is located in a prosperous area, and the public security is not generally good.
In addition, Yanjing has a large passenger flow, and customers want to see the real objects almost every day. It is really inconvenient to store them in the bank, so almost all the antiques of Yanjing Jingxin Hall are in the store.
"Hey, Mr. Zhao, this is against the rules. I don't have the right to let you enter the warehouse."
Shopkeeper Liu shook his head. Only he and Jing Shizhen could enter the warehouse of Jingxintang. Not to mention Zhao Zhengshan, shopkeeper Liu had no right to bring him in even if he was an employee of Jingxintang.
"Zhengshan, you haven't left yet?"
While Zhao Zhengshan and Shopkeeper Liu were talking, Jing Shizhen came out of the inner room with Tong Dongjie.
"Uncle Jing, Mr. Zhao's father is about to celebrate his birthday. Mr. Zhao wants to see our warehouse. I say this is against the rules." Shopkeeper Liu quickly stepped forward and stated Zhao Zhengshan's request.
"Zhengshan, this is indeed against the rules." Jing Shizhen looked at Zhao Zhengshan.
"Uncle Jing, you are still worried about me, I just want to see you for a long time." Zhao Zhengshan said.
"Little boy, please go back first. I agreed to your matter and wait until I contact you."
Jing Shizhen did not answer Zhao Zhengshan's words, but explained to Tong Dongjie on the side.
"Then thank you, Uncle Jing. I'll wait for your call. Xiao Su, this is my business card. Please contact me when you have time in the future..."
Tong Dongjie quickly agreed and left the Jingxin Hall, but before leaving, he left a business card for Su Xiaofan.
"You can enter the warehouse if you want, but you have to buy an object, and the price cannot be less than 10 million!"
After Tong Dongjie left, Jing Shizhen turned to Zhao Zhengshan, "If you go in empty-handed and leave empty-handed, then I won't let you in. After all, I set the rules. If you go in and buy something, it doesn't count."
