He said: "Come with me and show you around my place."
He took me into the house and took a look, and I was immediately shocked.
There are shelves on the wall. In addition to a few bronzes, there is a room full of soul bottles and soul warehouses! There are them from all dynasties! The total number is no less than 500, and there are many rare styles that even I have never seen before!
If the minimum price is 50,000 yuan per piece, then these soul bottles can be exchanged for at least 20 million yuan.
I couldn't help but say, "Tsk, tsk! This is an eye-opener! I didn't expect that a boss as big as you, brother, would go to Panjiayuan in person."
"Ha ha!"
He laughed and said, "Brother, what do you mean? Don't you, a big boss like you, also set up a street stall?"
He proudly said: "These are only part of my collection. I have six warehouses in Beijing where I store these things."
"So many?" I asked curiously, "Can we sell them?"
Soul bottles are an extremely unpopular collection in China. He collected so many of them, and I thought I would not be able to sell them until the end of the Year of the Monkey.
Unexpectedly, he shook his head and smiled: "At present, people in China don't like to see this stuff, but it is very popular abroad, especially in South Asia. There are many people who want these old soul bottles that are hundreds of thousands of years old on the black market there.
There are always hot-selling items on the market, and demand often exceeds supply.”
"What are they coming for?" I asked curiously.
He told me: "Rich people buy them to store ashes, perform rituals, make brands, etc. They are worthless in China, but they have many uses over there."
“What kind of brand do you want to make?”
He said: "This is an industry, making various Three Realm cards, Yin cards, Guman, etc."
"Gumantong?"
The Sanjie Pai is a kind of amulet made of deer bones. I know this. I have also heard of some Yin Pai. Some bosses in our domestic jadeite industry, mining and other hugely profitable industries like to wear these.
He smiled and said: "Brother, Gumantong and Guman are not the same thing. Guman sews the ashes of a dead child into a rag doll, and then takes it to the temple to worship for three years. Three years later, the dead child
The child will have immeasurable merit and will be liberated. This is usually done by parents for their children."
"That Gumantong thing is amazing. It's made from the corpses of intact children. It's what we call raising imps in our country. It's so evil that I generally don't touch it."
After hearing this, I said: "By the way, I don't have many soul bottles. I mainly have other things, including jade, gold, silver and so on."
He snapped his fingers: "Brother, you don't understand what I mean. The soul bottle is just a part of my industry. I, Qin Xida, have customers all over the world. I accept everything! There is nothing I dare not accept."
I frowned and said, "I don't want to sell my things abroad."
He nodded: "It seems that you are still a conservative, so sell it to domestic collectors. I have a way."
I immediately went downstairs and grabbed a few samples from the car.
"These...are these things from the Xixia Kingdom?"
I nodded and said I have good eyesight!
"Tsk tsk, these things of yours are really rare. I've seen many of them for the first time. Are there any others?"
I said I didn't bring it with me, but I have clear photos.
After looking at the photo carefully, his eyes lit up and he said directly: "How much?"
I thought about it and said, "Tuan Ti Meili Yin."
He shook his head and said: "Twenty million? I really can't believe it. Brother, it's our first time to deal with you and you don't understand me. I always give you a good price for the things I like. Ten million! If you want to confirm the sale, I will do it in the morning."
I’ll transfer your money!”
"Well...can't it be at a higher point?"
He shook his head: "No! I'll give you this price till the end!"
After pretending to think about it, I extended my hand and said, "Deal!"
He pointed at me and smiled: "That's okay, but you have to make sure that everything is intact."
I said don't worry, I'll keep your stuff intact.
Before leaving, he handed me something wrapped in red cloth. I didn't know what it was.
I opened it and saw inside was a transparent plastic pendant with a long strand of hair curled in the pendant.
He said: "It's our first time meeting you. I'm giving you a small gift. Just accept it without being polite."
"What is this? Isn't it the kind of dirty trick from abroad?" I asked.
"Don't be afraid, this is not a negative card, this is Bin Ling."
"What is Benling?"
He smiled and said: "Do you want to find a foreign girl to serve you? She is very beautiful and has a good figure, but this girl is a bit underweight."
"How light?"
He lit a cigarette and pointed a finger at me:
"Weighing one gram, it's a soul. It's called Bin Ling in the trade. This is what I'm giving you."
