There is an old saying, "No matter how far apart the world is, the one who buys is not as good as the one who sells." This is not entirely true. The people who came to look at the goods were each better than the other.
Qin Xingping found two people and called the head one. These three were all wealthy antique dealers. Their names were Wang Ruhai, Liu Yuanning, and a woman named Qin Juan.
They were all trustworthy people who had worked with them before. If they didn't trust them, they wouldn't ask people to come all the way to Yinchuan. These antique dealers were all veterans, and they didn't say anything about the buyer calling so many people over to view the goods.
.
Everyone was present that day and took out a lot of things at once. The Ashoka Tower was not taken. Depending on the situation, this thing will be saved for the last moment.
Wang Ruhai was in his fifties and spoke with a Shanxi accent. He picked up the jade bear, looked at it, and said with a smile, "It's okay. I speak to Zhuangzi. Can you please let me have this gadget first?"
The two men nodded and said nothing.
Wang Ruhai cupped his fists and said thank you, then turned to look at the boss.
Here he played a little trick. The way he and Wang Ruhai negotiated prices was called the new style of Xiu Li Qian Kun, also called Qian Kun Xiu.
In the past, the old-fashioned Qiankun sleeves were covered with cuffs. The buyer and the seller held hands without letting go. If the buyer stretched out a finger to represent an ocean, if the seller was dissatisfied, he would push down his arm, which meant please
You bid again.
At this time, the buyer adds two fingers. If he wants to express that this is my highest bid, the buyer will cough deliberately. If the seller accepts the price, he will happily stretch out his hand and shake it with both hands. On the contrary, if
If he thinks the price is too low, he will loosen his hand and shake his head.
The hands are hidden in the sleeves. In this way, other people will not know the buying and selling prices. Keeping the price confidential will help when you resell this item in the future. The Qiankun Sleeve can also be regarded as a microcosm of the antique shop.
The new Qiankun sleeves are just covered with a layer of leather, and they don’t have the bargaining smell of the old ones.
Specifically, the two parties met to trade and negotiated the price on their mobile phones. The antique dealer Wang Ruhai valued the Xixia Hemo Jade Bear. He thought the price was 10,000, so he dialed 1 on his mobile phone and shook his head, which meant no.
He deleted one, typed two, and still shook his head.
Wang Ruhai gritted his teeth, dialed three, and then transferred the phone, which meant the highest price.
Tou Tou felt that we were almost ready to sell it, because we originally expected the price to be one to two, but now the price has reached three, so Tou Tou turned his phone over again.
The two looked at each other and shook hands. Jade Bear just took action. If anyone asked at this time: "Wang Ruhai, how much did you spend to buy it?" Wang Ruhai would smile and say, "I spent ten thousand to buy it."
That young woman named Qin Juan was very generous, and he didn't like the jade bear, but he took away the copper seal and the Dakini Buddha. I didn't hear anything about this seal later, but the gold-plated Dakini later
If it goes up for auction, this woman will make a killing.
Liu Yuanning took away the tortoiseshell gusset plate and a large number of miscellaneous copper items with hats and crowns. He would sort out the miscellaneous copper items after he returned. He would pick out the most expensive items for carriages and horses, followed by clothing items, and finally life items.
I think the price of that pile of miscellaneous items, just the clothing items alone, can add up to the price. We don’t choose in advance because we are the manufacturer and they are the distributors, who come all the way to make money for others.
These three people are very clever, they all know it very well, and they still have big things hidden behind their heads.
With his head more refined, he knew that in order to get a higher price, he had to first build up the appetite of these fish so that they could bite the hook happily.
The head smiled and said: "Everyone, it's getting late. Please pay the money and that's it for today. You can go around and have fun at night. The finale will be tomorrow."
Qin Juan stood up and said with a smile: "Give me some tips, Mr. Wang, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat well and sleep well at night."
"That's right, Sister Juan is right," Wang Ruhai rubbed his hands back and forth and said with a smile.
He looked at me and asked, "Hey Yunfeng, what does that thing look like?"
I thought about it and watched a few people say a word.
"tower."
After speaking, I observed the expressions on several people's faces.
When they heard the word "tower", everyone's expressions instantly became solemn, and their playful smiles were gone.
Qin Juan said sorry and immediately got up and went out to make a phone call.
Wang Ruhai scratched his head back and forth vigorously, then suddenly raised his head and asked me: "How big is it?"
I shook my head and said, "Not too big, not too small."
"Damn it! Let's fight!" He slammed the table and went out to make a phone call.
Liu Yuanning, the one who talked the least among the three, said something to Tian Jian and then left the room.
Seeing the three people leaving, Qin Xingping, who had been watching silently, became very happy. He laughed and said: "Let's get together tonight. I'll treat them to roast whole lamb."
A smile appeared on the leader's face, "Then we would rather obey orders than be respectful."
The original plan for the evening was to go to Longchaoshang for dinner to celebrate, but then I shook my head and said, "Forget it, it's not safe. I have to keep an eye on things. Let's ask the small restaurant downstairs to cook some home-cooked dishes and have a little drink. That's the point.
That’s it.”
"It makes sense, it makes sense, then just listen to the leader, I'll go and sort it out for you, and we can get together in the house in the evening.
The small restaurant downstairs cooked food and brought it to our room. In the evening, everyone gathered in the room for dinner. We left Bean Sprout in the room and asked him to help look at the Ashoka Tower. Bean Sprout said it’s okay, you can go and eat.
, fearing that I would be worried, before leaving, Dou Sprouts vowed: "Don't worry! I'm here with you!"
The wine I drank was liquor, the old Yinchuan Jiuqu Liushang series. Now this wine has been renamed "Gong Shishi".
The authentic liquor produced in the Northwest was very strong after I drank a little. I told everyone to drink less, but Qin Xingping smiled and didn't take it seriously. He smiled and said: "Yunfeng, I have been tired for so many days.
After so much suffering, why can’t I be happy anymore? Xiaoxuan doesn’t drink, there are only three of us, not many, just this bottle, we’ll finish it off.”
Now that we have reached this point, I don’t feel like spoiling the fun by opening my mouth, so I say something polite, “Then I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman.”
As a result, I couldn’t hold it anymore after two drinks. Lao Yinchuan’s stamina was stronger than that of a donkey. Although his head was more awake than me, he was no better. Qin Xingping’s voice was the loudest, and he ended up being the first.
Lying down on the table.
Later, Xiaoxuan helped me back to the room.
In the early morning of the next day, I was woken up by the banging of the door. I rubbed my eyes and my head still hurt.
When I opened the door, I saw the man standing at the door with a frosty face, and my heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Five minutes later, we surrounded the bean sprouts.
Qin Xingping's eyes were bloodshot and he yelled at Dou Sprout: "Where's the tower!"
Dou Sprout looked at the rest of us in panic, and said with trembling lips: "I...I don't know."
