"Xiaofan, tell me how much you can earn by shooting?"
Zheng Dagang may not ask about the origin of the object, but he must know the price.
Otherwise, when negotiating with the auction house, Zheng Dagang would not be able to set a reserve price. If the reserve price was set too low, they would lose money.
"Eight ancient springs, if you take photos of more than 10 million, you won't lose money."
Su Xiaofan also checked the prices of these ancient springs in the market before.
Two of them are slightly lower priced, adding up to about 1.2 million.
But the remaining six pieces are very expensive, and five of them have been sold for more than 2 million each.
The most expensive one is the Daijin Tianjuan Tongbao, which was auctioned for more than 3.6 million yuan five years ago. Now if it is put up for auction, the value will increase by at least 30%.
The other one is even more rare and valuable, because this copper coin is priceless in the market and is an orphan.
This copper coin is the Zhining Yuanbao cast by Wanyan Yongji, King of Wei Shao in the Jin Dynasty, in the first year of Zhining.
Only one of this copper coin has been found so far, and it is now in the National Museum.
Since it is an orphan and has never circulated in the market, Zhining Yuanbao cannot be valued at all.
If you meet a fanatical Guquan collector, it is not surprising that this Tianjuan Tongbao will be sold for tens of millions.
I don’t know if I will meet Su Xiaofan, an avid antique collector.
But as soon as he mentioned these ancient springs, Brother Gang became enthusiastic. When he came to the toll exit in excitement, he almost rushed out.
"Xiao Fan, with these eight precious treasures, if I can't create a grand ancient spring event in China, you, Brother Gang, are incompetent!"
While driving the car, Zheng Dagang patted his chest.
Now he wished he could turn around the car immediately, buy a ticket to Yanjing, and go to those auction houses.
"Brother Gang, calm down"
Su Xiaofan waited until Brother Gang calmed down and then said: "I also got two magical weapons. You can show them to Mr. Zhao and let him make a price."
"And there are magic weapons?"
Zheng Dagang's eyes widened, "Is it a real magic weapon? Is it the same as the one you bought last time?"
"It's definitely a real magic weapon."
Su Xiaofan nodded, "The quality is better than the Zhan Feng Chime I bought last time, at least 8 million per piece. Don't sell it for less than this price."
Although the wind chime Su Xiaofan bought last time was also a low-level magic weapon, it was incomplete and it took a lot of repair money to repair it.
The Hotan Jade Guanyin Pendant and Bagua Feng Shui Mirror that Su Xiaofan brought this time are complete low-level magical instruments, and the price is definitely more expensive than before.
"Okay, I'll go find Mr. Zhao later."
Zheng Dagang's face was full of excitement. He had witnessed Uncle Jing trading magic weapons, often worth millions, without any counter-offer.
"By the way, Brother Gang, just say that you collected the magical artifact from the temple. You must not say that I found it."
Su Xiaofan warned Zheng Dagang.
Although this matter might not be hidden from Uncle Jing in the future, Su Xiaofan still didn't want to let Uncle Jing know too early that the magic weapon came out of his hand.
"Okay, you know Brother Gang's tone. I will accept it myself if anyone asks."
Zheng Dagang nodded in agreement. Although he was also curious about the origin of these things, he could not bear to ask about the things he had agreed to before.
"Brother Gang, where are we going?"
Seeing that Zheng Dagang's car was not driving in the direction of his home, Su Xiaofan was a little surprised. He had promised to go home first and inventory his things.
"Hey, I'll find out when I take you there."
Zheng Dagang chuckled and stepped on the accelerator a little harder.
"By the way, Brother Gang, take me to buy a car this afternoon."
The antique market where Su Xiaofan used to set up stalls was still Su Xiaofan's base, but now that he lives a bit far from there, it would be more convenient to have a car.
"Okay, what kind of car do you want? Bend or don't touch me?"
Zheng Dagang glanced sideways at Su Xiaofan and said: "I have a buddy who specializes in buying imported cars. He brings them from Jintian Port. The price is not high. If you don't have the car you want, you can also buy it from him.
order."
"Let's go and have a look in the afternoon. I haven't decided on a car yet."
Su Xiaofan shook his head. He only had four million in cash on hand now, and he still had to save it to collect meteorites. He could just buy a cheaper mobility scooter.
"Don't have money to spare?"
Zheng Dagang misunderstood what Su Xiaofan meant, "Tell me which car you like this afternoon, and I'll make up for it first.
Our buddy is now a serious boss, so the car can’t be too bad.”
"It's just a step-by-step tool, it doesn't have to be too good."
"That's not true. Face, the car is just for face, do you understand?"
"Hey, we're here, Xiaofan, get off the car!"
While the two were chatting, Zheng Dagang had already parked the car on the side of the road.
"Brother Gang, what are we doing here?"
Su Xiaofan looked around and said a little strangely: "The antique market is still up there, and it's not like there is no parking lot. Why are you parking your car here?"
Su Xiaofan was very familiar with the surrounding environment.
Luochuan is mountainous, and there are many gentle slopes in the city. This antique market is built along the slopes.
At the top of the gentle slope is the antique market, and at the bottom is the flower and bird market. Now Zheng Dagang parked his car on the roadside of the flower and bird market.
"Come and see our store."
Zheng Dagang asked Su Xiaofan to get out of the car, then locked the door and pulled it.
Su Xiaofan's box is still in the car. Zheng Dagang doesn't dare to be careless. There are a lot of petty thefts in the Flower and Bird Market.
"Didn't you say you won't rent a store?" Su Xiaofan was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
“It just so happened that someone quit renting my shop last month, and it hasn’t been rented out yet.
When I thought about it, I just brought it for us to use, so we can have more places to drink tea when we have nothing to do."
Zheng Dagang took Su Xiaofan to the entrance of a store. The rolling shutter door of the store was closed, and the signboard above was covered with a piece of red cloth.
“I’m just waiting for you to open the business!”
Zheng Dagang laughed, took the key and opened the rolling shutter door, and then took out a ladder from the shop.
"Grandma, no firecrackers are allowed now. It's not lively at all."
Zheng Dagang called Su Xiaofan up the ladder, "Xiaofan, please take off the red cloth on the signboard, and we will open for business."
"What kind of thing are you doing?"
Su Xiaofan climbed up the ladder with a wry smile, pulled hard, and pulled down the red cloth.
"Mortal Hall?"
Looking at the three gilt characters on the sign, Su Xiaofan couldn't help but smack his lips.
When discussing the name of the store before, Su Xiaofan asked Zheng Dagang to figure it out, but he didn't expect that he would come up with such a name.
"How about it? I asked Liu to write the calligraphy for our sign, and I paid more than 10,000 yuan for the retouching fee."
Zheng Dagang looked up at the signboard proudly, "Go in and take a look, I've arranged it all. This is a busy city, much more lively than Jingxintang."
"Brother Gang, the business we are doing is not for ordinary people."
Su Xiaofan was really dumbfounded by Zheng Dagang's amazing operation.
Antiques that can easily cost tens or even millions are not something ordinary people can afford.
Therefore, compared with those shops that need to be opened in downtown areas to sell handicrafts and souvenirs, antique shops do not require foot traffic at all.
What Su Xiaofan and the others want is regular customers, word-of-mouth, and channels from major auction houses. Zheng Dagang's establishment of such a store is purely unnecessary.
"Brother Gang, you said that if there is an antique inside and it is broken by someone who does not know how to do it, do you want him to pay for it or not?"
"Ahem, I didn't think too much about it, I just thought there was a more formal store."
Zheng Dagang scratched his head. In fact, he felt that he had taken advantage of Su Xiaofan, and he felt a little embarrassed, so he thought of making up for it.
"Save this place for tea now, don't put anything away."
Su Xiaofan walked into the store and saw that it was quite big inside, with an area of more than thirty square meters.
Zheng Dagang pulled several rows of antique shelves from nowhere and placed them against the wall. Inside, they placed a sofa and a coffee table, and all the tea sets were ready.
"Brother Gang, if someone is willing to rent it later, it's better to sell it as soon as possible."
Su Xiaofan shook his head. He wanted to make a fortune quietly, and the lower profile the better. Even if he had to open a store, he would have to find a hidden place.
"Okay, I didn't think carefully."
Zheng Dagang nodded, took a document bag from an antique shelf, and handed it to Su Xiaofan.
"Our business license and equity agreement."
Zheng Dagang said: "I am the legal person of the company, but the equity agreement clearly states that you hold 80% of the shares and are the major shareholder."
Now that I have opened a company, I have to deal with industrial and commercial taxation. Zheng Dagang is a familiar face, so it is more convenient to serve as a legal person.
"Well, I'll take it home later."
Su Xiaofan reached out and took it. Looking at the bustling crowd outside, he felt very unhappy. This was too lively.
"Hey, boss, do you want to buy a puppy?"
While the two were talking, the door of the shop was pushed open.
The person pushing the door was holding a dog cage in his left hand. There were three newborn puppies in it. They were very fluffy and cute.
"No, please go out and close the door."
Zheng Dagang also felt inconvenient now. If pet sellers came in all day long, they wouldn't be able to do any business.
"What? Are you interested in dogs?" Zheng Dagang turned around and saw Su Xiaofan staring at the puppies, and couldn't help but ask.
"I'm not interested. I had a silly dog when I was a kid. When I got into a fight, the silly dog pulled my trouser leg."
Su Xiaofan shook his head. It was a not-so-good memory. He lost the fight, his pants were chewed to pieces, and his grandfather gave him a lesson when he got home.
On the contrary, when I was a child, the big white geese I raised at home were very powerful. They were much better at guarding the house than dogs, and they often chased the silly dog around.
"If you want to keep any pets later, let me know. I know this place."
Zheng Dagang looked outside, lowered his voice a little, and said: "There were people buying lynx cubs in the past, but those things were too ferocious and they were not well-raised. Later, they hurt people and ran into the mountains."
"Brother Gang, the leopard meat you used to get was probably from here too."
Hearing Zheng Dagang's words, Su Xiaofan couldn't help but laugh.
Luochuan is mountainous, and there are still some wild animals in it, such as pangolins and other animals. Su Xiaofan has eaten a lot of them with Zheng Dagang in the past few years.
However, the leopard meat is sour and not very tasty. I heard that the bones are even sold as tiger bones.
Every city has its dark corners.
Hanging out in places like antique markets and flower and bird markets, Su Xiaofan had seen a lot of things like this.
