Li Yang shouted hurriedly, and the middle-aged man turned his head back in surprise, glanced at Li Yang, and continued to walk forward with the box in his arms.
"Sir, please wait a moment!"
Li Yang followed quickly, but the middle-aged man stopped this time, looked at Li Yang with confusion, and asked, "What's the matter with you?"
"Where did you get these things?"
Li Yang pointed to the ancient sword in the box. He took this opportunity to look at it carefully for a while. The more he looked at it, the more surprised Li Yang was. Just now he just glanced at it, but now he can see it all clearly. These swords are all
An ancient sword that performs well.
"Why do you ask? You don't buy it!"
The middle-aged man shook his head and started to move forward with the box in his arms. Li Yang followed him again.
"Wait a minute, I didn't say I won't buy it. There are good ones, so it's not a bad idea to pick two!"
"No, it's too late. These have been ordered. I want to send them over now!"
The middle-aged man didn't say anything to Li Yang this time. He walked directly past him and headed towards the second floor.
Li Yang was stunned for a while, then hurriedly called Liu Gang, Wang Jiajia and Chen Lei to chase him.
"Boss, are all those ancient swords real? Are they valuable?"
On the way, Chen Lei didn't forget to ask Li Yang. He only looked at the old swords and couldn't tell anything else.
Li Yang paused for a moment, slowly shook his head, and said softly: "The value is not too high. A good one should be sold for ten or twenty thousand, and maybe two or three thousand. This is what I saw
Those of you, I don’t know the others if you haven’t seen them!”
"Ten thousand or twenty thousand is quite valuable!"
Chen Lei nodded slightly, with a bit of disappointment on his face. His current salary is only more than five thousand yuan a month, and ten thousand or twenty thousand is not a lot for him. But compared with the antiques in his impression, this value is not.
It’s so high, the ones that appear on TV shows are often in the millions.
"Value is not the most important thing for antiques. These ancient swords are not of high value, but they exist in all periods and represent the culture of different periods. It is not easy to collect so many!"
Li Yang hesitated for a moment, then said slowly and continued to walk forward. At this time, the middle-aged man had already walked away.
The middle-aged man went to the second floor without stopping, and went directly to the third floor. Li Yang also hurriedly followed.
Ancient swords are still relatively minor in the sword industry. The value of antique swords is also rising, but the increase is not high every year, and the most sought-after swords are those with provenance.
For example, if the sword Zheng Kaida collected in Rongbaozhai was really an ancient sword used by Fang La, its value would definitely increase a lot. However, even if it was not used by Fang La, there would still be many people because of its aristocratic performance.
favorite.
In fact, to put it bluntly, this thing was also used by nobles in ancient times and was a high-quality product. Nowadays, everyone likes high-quality high-quality products. They don’t rush to get any old things they encounter. There are many old ordinary porcelain bowls and cups.
Things like this are not valuable, and some even only cost a few hundred yuan each. This is because they exist in large quantities and are not high-quality products.
The third floor of Zhengzhou Antique City is similar to the second floor. It is also composed of many antique shops, but there are more things displayed here. Some shops are full and look a bit messy, like a wholesale market.
In fact, Li Yang guessed right. There are many small antique shops in cities around Zhengzhou that come here to purchase goods. Of course, it is not known how many of the goods purchased are genuine old things.
The middle-aged man stopped in front of a shop selling various gold-plated Buddha statues, put the box on the ground, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
There were more ancient swords in the box than Li Yang imagined, a total of thirty-five. The weight of so many ancient swords put together was not light, and it would probably be difficult for Li Yang to carry them so far.
Seeing him put down the box, Li Yang followed him, but he secretly cried out that it was a pity. He had too few swords now. These ancient swords that could represent various periods would usually cost a lot to collect.
Li Yang really had the idea of accepting all the skills if he hadn't been ordered by someone.
"Boss Yu, I brought the things. Come and take a look!"
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he sat on the chair next to him, fanned himself with his clothes, and stopped talking after finishing speaking to the shop owner.
"Okay, you drink some water and rest first, I'll take a look!"
The shop owner came out immediately and handed over a bottle of mineral water. The middle-aged man did not refuse, took it and drank most of the bottle in one gulp.
The ancient swords were taken out one by one by the owner of the shop. The owner of the shop was very careful about each ancient sword with a scabbard. Only ancient swords that can be kept intact with the scabbard are truly valuable. It is a pity that this
There are not many ancient swords like this in a wooden box.
Many of them are even rusty, and only the appearance of a sword can be seen. And one is even more outrageous. Except for the vague resemblance of the sword handle, the whole body is like an iron rod. This ancient sword is even connected to Li Yang
I don't even know what period it was from.
No matter how old the thing is, it won't be worth much if it's like this. Condition is also a very important factor in antiques.
"Zhongzheng Sword!"
Li Yang's eyes lit up slightly, and the shop owner took out a relatively well-preserved ancient sword. The sword's handle was also engraved with the words "Gift from Chiang Kai-shek".
The shop owner seemed to appreciate the sword very much, and even took a look at it from its scabbard.
The Zhongzheng Sword was a sword specially made by Chiang Kai-shek during the Republic of China to encourage students at the Whampoa Military Academy. The sword was engraved with the words "Successful Chengren".
During the Northern Expedition, some soldiers used this sword to commit suicide and die for their country because they lost their positions or for other reasons. There were many such examples, so the Zhongzheng Sword was also known as the "Chengren Sword".
Not only did Chiang Kai-shek not have any objection to this, but he admired it very much and ordered a large number of Zhongzheng swords. Later, almost every Huangpu student had one. Over and over, Chiang Kai-shek distributed at least tens of thousands of Zhongzheng swords.
Bundle.
However, to this day, there are not many of these Zhongzheng swords left in the world. Only a few are spread among the people, and many of them are in museums.
Swords are iron tools after all, and they can easily be damaged if they are not well kept. Just like there are so many ancient swords in front of us, it is almost impossible to say that they are truly in complete condition. Even this Zhongzheng sword has signs of repair.
There used to be rust spots, but they were later wiped away with chemicals.
"Thirty-five, the same as what I saw last time, a total of 150,000, how about it?"
After the shop owner finished ordering them one by one, he walked up to the middle-aged man and said with a smile. The middle-aged man was startled, then stood up and shouted angrily: "Why is it ten?"
Fifty thousand, didn’t you say it was 250,000 last time?”
"The last time was the last time, and now is now. Now the market is sluggish, and the financial crisis has not passed. Investors are somewhat short of money, and they no longer make crazy acquisitions like before. They even sell some of them*
** products to cope with the crisis, in this case the price will naturally drop! "
The shop owner smiled and shook his head. He didn't care about the middle-aged man's anger. Li Yang was also stunned for a moment and couldn't help but shook his head. Profiteers are profiteers. The economic crisis has some impact on the market, but it definitely doesn't have him.
That's such a big deal.
"Even if there is an economic crisis, it can't be reduced by as much as 100,000 yuan at once, right?"
The middle-aged man was also stunned for a moment, and then made another distinction immediately, and then continued: "Besides, you can't give me that much, why didn't you explain it to me clearly on the phone and asked me to make a trip?"
"What's the difference between saying it on the phone and saying it here? You only have a few of these things that are really easy to get rid of. I don't know how long it will take to suppress the others. I'll give you a lot of 150,000. Go
You might not be able to sell it for 100,000 yuan in other stores!"
The shop owner shook his head indifferently, and the middle-aged man also shook his head: "No, 150,000 yuan is definitely not possible, the minimum is 250,000 yuan, if you don't want it, I will take it away!"
"That's up to you!"
The shop owner sighed sadly, but he didn't have any intention to stop the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man went to collect the ancient swords. After collecting a few, he put them down helplessly.
"Boss Yu, you have to be honest when doing business. The original price of 250,000 has changed here. What do you mean?"
"I originally said 250,000, but when did that happen? That was more than half a year ago. At that time, if you sold it, I would give it to you 250,000 without blinking an eye. But it's different now, antiques
The price is not fixed. It may be very high today and may be very low tomorrow. These ancient swords of yours are all partial, and if I pay 150,000 yuan to buy them now, there will still be great risks!"
The shop owner just shook his head. He didn't say this at all. The ancient sword was a partial type, and if he couldn't use it in the short term, it would definitely occupy his working capital. This was something that no antique shop owner would like to encounter.
However, the value of these ancient swords is definitely more than 150,000 yuan. In Li Yang's opinion, it is more than 250,000 yuan. However, it is really not easy to sell them quickly unless you meet a collector you like.
"Let's see, Boss Yu, I won't insist on the original price anymore. The price is 200,000, and I will keep it all with you!"
The middle-aged man frowned, and finally sighed. Didn't he show these ancient swords to an antique shop? Boss Yu originally paid the highest price, but later he wanted to sell them for more money, so he kept them.
It was in my hand and I never made a move.
As a result, the more he asked others, the lower the offer became. Then he gave up and wanted to send the item here. Unexpectedly, it suddenly dropped by 100,000, which he couldn't bear.
"I'm sorry, I really can't do anything. Why don't you go ask and see if anyone here is willing to pay you 200,000 yuan, and you can leave it to them!"
The shop owner shook his head again. He knew the market situation of antique shops in Zhengzhou very well. There were many people who could spend 200,000 yuan in one go to buy these things from him, but he would never do this. No one wanted to shop in a niche antique shop.
The sword occupies so much money.
"180,000, 180,000 is enough, right?"
The middle-aged man's brows knit together tightly. The shop owner sighed and said nothing this time. What he meant was already clear to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man raised his head in frustration. He knew that even if he asked, no one would be able to give him the price. In fact, the hearts of those who opened antique shops were very dark. He also wanted to sell to other collectors, but he couldn't afford it.
After showing it to several people, no one wanted to buy it all at once, so I only picked out a few good ones.
In this way, he will definitely not agree. If all the good ones are sold, it will be more difficult to sell the bad ones. In his hands, the only way to go is to let them go worse.
Looking up, the middle-aged man happened to see Li Yang following him, and he felt a glimmer of hope again in his heart.
He didn't pay attention when Li Yang asked him just now. Firstly, he had indeed contacted him to deliver these things. Secondly, Li Yang was too young. Young people always give people a feeling of distrust. This is not a matter of one or two hundred.
The transaction is not a transaction of one or two thousand, but a transaction of one or two hundred thousand.
"Little brother, didn't you just say you wanted these things from me?"
The middle-aged man asked immediately. Li Yang hesitated and nodded.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand, you have to take them all!"
The middle-aged man immediately said something again. Before Li Yang could say anything, Chen Lei had already shouted: "You think my boss is a traitor? Just now you were willing to sell it for 180,000 yuan, but now it's my boss's 250,000 yuan."
?”
Chen Lei was tall and dark-skinned, and he looked a bit fierce. The middle-aged man shrank back slightly and then shook his head: "I couldn't do anything just now. In this way, this little brother, what do you think?"
All you want is 200,000, and I’ll give you all 200,000!”
"Sir, 180,000 yuan. According to the price you just mentioned, if you sell it, I will take it all. If you don't sell it, then you can do whatever you want!"
Li Yang shook his head with a smile. He really wanted to buy these ancient swords and take them back to ***, but that doesn't mean he is a person who can be bullied at will. People don't want your stuff for even 180,000 yuan.
I still want to sell it for 200,000 yuan. Isn’t this obvious bullying?
The middle-aged man showed a trace of hesitation and looked at the shop owner. The shop owner was looking at Li Yang curiously and didn't pay attention to him.
"Okay, 180,000, but I want cash, and I want it now!"
After hesitating for a while, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and nodded. He knew that if he didn't sell it this time, it would not be easy to sell it at the same price next time.
“Cash, no problem!”
Li Yang turned around and smiled. Liu Gang immediately untied the bag on his chest. Because he was going to the antique city today, Li Yang really prepared some cash. It was not much, only 300,000, but buying these ancient swords was expensive.
It's more than enough.
Eighteen stacks of hundred-dollar bills were quickly counted out to the middle-aged man. When he saw the money, the middle-aged man realized that this seemingly inconspicuous young man in front of him was really a benefactor.
The middle-aged man counted the money quickly, and finally grinned, "180,000, not a penny less."
The store owner also shook his head. When the money arrived in the hands of the middle-aged man, it meant that the transaction had been completed. He did not expect that the young man in front of him would be so decisive, and he also carried so much cash. He said that he would take 180,000 yuan.
Just took it out.
At this moment, the store owner also had some regrets. These ancient swords could be sold for 350,000 or even 400,000 yuan if they met a real buyer, not to mention 250,000 yuan, but if they didn't meet them, they would all be in their hands.
