After all, they couldn't escape the law of foodies. After spending some money in the ice cream shop next to the antique shop, the two of them came to the antique shop with satisfaction.
This is designed to imitate the decoration style of an old alley pawn shop. The ornaments inside are strange and dazzling.
From wooden tables and chairs to ancient coins and pearls, you can find just about anything you name here.
It can be said that as soon as you step through the door of this antique store, you will be embarrassed to leave without purchasing one or two items.
The shopkeeper is a white-haired old man. He is watching the live broadcast of the young lady, and he laughs like "goose goose" from time to time.
"Uncle." Seeing the old man focusing on giving rewards, Gu Chen almost forgot that he was a shop owner, so Gu Chen called him.
"What do you want?" The old man turned his head and glanced at Gu Chen.
"How do you sell this imitation ancient coin?" Gu Chen took out an imitation ancient coin from a glass cabinet and couldn't help but weigh it in the palm of his hand.
"This one is 100 yuan," the old man said.
Lu Weiwei said: "Such a small ancient coin, 100 yuan each? Uncle, are you robbing money?"
"Then the ice cream next door sells for 30 yuan each. Why don't you say that the store next door is robbing money?" The old man also looked at the ice cream in their hands and couldn't help but complain a few words.
Lu Weiwei was speechless for a moment.
When it comes to spending on food, Lu Weiwei is not stingy. Let alone 30 yuan for an ice cream, as long as it is delicious, Lu Weiwei will pay 50 yuan for it.
Gu Chen took the imitation ancient coin, put it on the counter, and pushed it in front of the old man: "This one is cheaper."
"90 yuan, take it." The old man pushed the imitation ancient coin in front of Gu Chen and said, "Did I give you face? Haha, you won't suffer any loss if you buy it."
"80." Gu Chen pushed the simulated ancient coin back again.
The old man immediately put the imitation ancient coins on the table like a card and said: "Take it."
Gu Chen happily dug into his pocket, and the two of them sat back in the car.
Lu Weiwei held the ancient coin and used her nimble fingers to flip it back and forth on her fingertips from time to time.
While eating ice cream, he said: "Speaking of which, this imitation ancient coin is quite interesting. Junior Brother Gu, how much do you think the appraisal company can get for the imitation ancient coin we bought for 80 yuan?"
"Let's take a look at this and then talk about it." Gu Chen couldn't answer now. After all, this is an imitation product.
It would be great if the appraisal company found out, but if the estimate was really worth hundreds or thousands of dollars, Gu Chen would have fainted in the toilet with laughter.
While the two were talking, they quickly found the "Limin Appraisal Company" based on the address provided by the old lady.
The facade was renovated after opening up three stores, and it looks a bit high-end.
Two female receptionists in uniform were chatting at the moment. They also stood up quickly when they saw a customer coming in.
"Hello." The long-haired female receptionist took the lead in bowing and saying hello: "Can I help you?"
"I... I have an ancient coin at home, which has been passed down from my grandparents. I don't know if it's worth it now, so I just wanted to take it to see."
Gu Chen casually made up a reason and blocked it.
The long-haired woman at the front desk said politely: "Then you have come to the right place. Our professional appraisal agency here has the most authoritative experts. Give us your ancient coin and we will guarantee a good price for you."
"Really?" Lu Weiwei hooked Gu Chen's arm and said with a smile: "My boyfriend told me that this ancient coin is valuable, but I don't know whether it is true or not? If it is really valuable, then
We are also considering changing a car, right?"
Lu Weiwei's sudden change of words made Gu Chen a little embarrassed and even uncomfortable, but he still nodded reluctantly:
"That's right, my grandfather said that this ancient coin must be kept well. If life becomes difficult in the future, it can be sold for a good price."
"Then you have found the right person." Looking at the short-haired female colleague beside him, the long-haired receptionist suddenly smiled and said, "Have you two brought anything?"
"Bring it here." Gu Chen dug in his pocket, slowly opened a piece of dry cloth, and then showed the ancient coin in front of the long-haired woman at the front desk.
It was at that moment that the female receptionist's eyes suddenly shone, and after a brief appreciation, she hurriedly said:
"Sir, this ancient coin of yours looks good. It must be quite old. I guess it won't be a problem to sell it for a good price."
"Real or fake?" Gu Chen also agreed, and then asked her pretending not to understand: "So, do you charge any appraisal fee for appraising ancient coins here?"
"No need." The short-haired female receptionist on the side immediately waved her hand and said: "We are a formal organization and do not charge any appraisal fees."
"If you're constantly being charged appraisal fees, physical inspection fees, and other miscellaneous fees, you should be careful."
"Yes." The long-haired female receptionist immediately echoed: "Companies like those are not formal companies. To be honest, they are all trying to defraud you of appraisal fees, physical testing fees, etc. Some will even ask you to do it.
Product certificate or something.”
"Oh." Gu Chen suppressed his laughter and looked at Lu Weiwei, and said indifferently: "This place is very good, there is no charge, so this should be a regular company, right?"
"Yes, who charges in a regular company?" Lu Weiwei quickly agreed.
At this moment, the long-haired female receptionist and the short-haired female receptionist looked at each other and winked at each other.
The long-haired female receptionist then said: "Why don't you bring your things and come to the office with me? Our manager is on duty."
"OK."
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei both nodded, and then followed the female receptionist into an office.
Since they were mentally prepared in advance, everyone was still very relaxed and did not appear too rigid.
The two of them seemed to already know the ending of the TV series and came to Limin Appraisal Company purely to rewatch the series.
Over there, a middle-aged man in uniform was reading a novel on his mobile phone. When he saw someone coming, he quickly adjusted his shirt.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Manager, these two customers want us to help identify the ancient coins." The female receptionist came up and said.
"Oh?" The manager stood up, pointed to the sofa beside him and said: "You two sit down first, Xiao He, you go and make two cups of tea and bring them over."
"Okay." The female receptionist called Xiao He, turned around and left the office.
The male manager with a sinister look on his face, with a smile on his face, reached out and asked Gu Chen: "Can you show me your things?"
"Okay." Gu Chen directly handed over the dry cloth wrapped with the imitation ancient coins.
The male manager was also very presentable. He took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and put them on, looking a little interesting.
It gives people a very professional look.
After seeing these small details, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei understood why the old lady believed it.
Co-authorship is defeated by details.
Carrying Gu Chen's imitation ancient coins, the male manager took out a magnifying glass from his drawer and kept observing the palm of his hand.
There was still a sigh of admiration coming out of his mouth.
"Is there any problem?" Lu Weiwei asked.
The male manager shook his head and said: "No problem, of course it is no problem."
Glancing at Gu Chen, the male manager asked again: "By the way, where did you get this ancient money? Is it yours?"
"Yes, it belongs to me." Gu Chen nodded slightly and quickly explained: "This ancient coin was passed down from generation to generation by my grandfather's generation."
"To be honest, I don't know exactly how old it is. After all, it would be nice if I could sell it for some money. After all, I am also in a hurry to change my car. Just take a look and see how much this ancient coin is worth."
"Really want to know?" The male manager raised his eyes and said in a pretentious manner: "This thing of yours is quite interesting."
After finishing speaking, the male manager did not forget to weigh it in the palm of his hand.
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other, did they feel like they had been seen through by him?
After all, it is a replica bought from the antique market. Although the degree of simulation is extremely high, people in the industry can still recognize it at a glance.
Therefore, Gu Chen now feels a little regretful, thinking that if he had known this, he should have picked out a few more decent items just now, instead of fooling him with an imitation ancient coin.
But now that I think about it, I have come and there is no retreat. So after Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei exchanged glances, he pretended to be calm and said: "Just talk about it, it doesn't matter."
"Then I'll say it." The male manager gently placed the imitation ancient coins on the table, and then said slowly: "I estimate that the market price of your ancient coins is about this amount."
Speaking of this, the male manager pointed out a finger.
"One...one hundred?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but froze for a moment, thinking to herself that you really deserve to be an antique dealer, and you figured it out so quickly, how could you be just kidding?!
Just as he was thinking about how to find the stairs with Gu Chen later, the male manager shook his finger and said, "It's not 100 yuan, it's 1 million."
"What?!"
Hearing this, Lu Weiwei quickly picked out her ears, fearing that she had heard the wrong number: "You mean...our ancient coin is worth 1 million?"
"Yes, it's worth 1 million, and this is just a rough estimate." The male manager was very sure of what he said.
Now not only Lu Weiwei was stunned, but also Gu Chen, who had always been calm, was no longer calm.
The imitation antique coin that I bought for 80 yuan at the antique market was worth 1 million in an instant after this so-called manager said it?
If I hadn't known that this ancient coin was worth 80, I would have been shocked by this astronomical figure.
"What? You don't believe it?" The manager also saw what the two people were thinking, and couldn't help but smile and said: "We have appraised many ancient coins. Ancient coins like yours are very rare in the market. This 1 million is just what I think."
If you don’t believe it, I can take you to our expert, who is an authoritative treasure appraiser.”
"Then...is there any charge?" Lu Weiwei also asked him weakly.
The male manager waved his hand and said, "Our front desk should have told you, right? We are a regular appraisal company and we do not charge appraisal fees."
"Is that a free appraisal?" Gu Chen asked.
"Yes." The male manager also came to him with a smile, patted Gu Chen on the shoulder and said: "Little brother, I think you are lucky. Come on, I will take you upstairs to ask and see our experts.
Let me give you an estimate."
At this moment, the long-haired female receptionist also walked into the room with tea, and greeted the two of them with a smile: "You two, your tea."
"Thank you, let's find an expert, right?" Gu Chen opened the tea and asked Lu Weiwei pretending to be anxious.
Lu Weiwei nodded immediately and agreed happily: "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up."
…
…
The few people did not spend too much time in the male manager's office. Under the leadership of the male manager, they came together to a spacious office on the second floor.
At this moment, a man in Tang suit, who seemed to have been notified long ago, was reading a historical novel with great interest.
Seeing a visitor coming, he immediately put down his books slowly, picked up a cup of tea in front of him, and tasted it leisurely.
"Master Liu, there are two customers here who want you to authenticate this ancient coin." The male manager hurriedly walked up to the man in Tang suit.
The man in Tang suit also stretched slowly, and his right hand accidentally touched a medal certificate on the bookshelf, and then he quickly caught it with both hands and murmured to himself:
"It was so dangerous that I almost broke the hardcover certificate of me, the director of the Greater China Art Appraisal Center."
"Master Liu, let me put it down for you." The male manager immediately took the trophy certificate from the man in Tang suit politely, placed it gently on a conspicuous place on the bookshelf, and then deliberately wiped the surface to attract attention.
Chen and Lu Weiwei’s attention.
However, Gu Chen's heart had no fluctuations at this moment, and he even wanted to laugh a little.
"Let's take a look at the things." The man in Tang suit asked as he stretched out his hand.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Gu Chen didn’t think much and directly placed the ancient coins in front of him.
Just like the male manager did just now, the man in Tang suit took a pair of white gloves from the drawer, held them in his hands and observed them repeatedly.
About a minute passed before he frowned hesitantly and asked Gu Chen fondly: "Where did you get this thing?"
"It's passed down from our ancestors," Gu Chen said.
"Are you sure?" the man in Tang suit asked again.
Gu Chen nodded: "OK."
After receiving this information, the man in Tang suit showed a relieved smile and said: "Young man, you are lucky, your ancient coin is really valuable."
In order to match the nonsense of the man in Tang suit, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei quickly made a shocked expression, and then they shook hands together.
Like a pair of star-crossed mandarin ducks who finally got the approval of their wealthy father-in-law, the two pretended to be excited.
"Weiwei, did you hear that? Master said it's worth a lot of money."
"I heard Chenchen, it seems we can get a new car."
It was also under the disgusting dialogue that Gu Chen quickly looked at the man in Tang suit in front of him and asked him urgently: "Master, may I ask how much this ancient coin is worth?"
"It's cliché to say how much it's worth." The man in Tang suit touched his chin with a noble expression, and then said calmly: "You should say how much it's worth."
"Haha, the master is the master, even the way of speaking is different." Lu Weiwei also looked at Gu Chen awkwardly, thinking to herself, aren't these all the same?
But Lu Weiwei was just scolding in her heart, and asked him politely: "Master, how much is this ancient coin worth?"
"You..." After saying this, the man in Tang suit couldn't help but clicked his tongue twice and said: "If you want to talk about the value of this, the market price should be between 1 million and 2 million."
"Wow!" Lu Weiwei exclaimed in unison, then shook Gu Chen's arm: "Chenchen, did you hear it? Master said it's worth one or two million, we are rich."
"Yes." Gu Chen also looked at the man in Tang suit with a forced smile, thinking that I was serious about acting, but I was still a little embarrassed when I told lies without conscience.
Seeing the ecstatic expressions on the two people's faces, the man in Tang suit rolled his eyes and said in a low tone: "Although your market value is one or two million, if you can't find a good channel, you will be wasting a good thing.
."
"If we help you create a high-end channel, the price of your ancient coin will be higher. It may even be sold for more than 2 million yuan, more than 3 million yuan, or more than 4 million yuan. Do you understand?"
It sounds so familiar, and the situation is exactly the same as what the old lady told me.
Gu Chen couldn't help but smile and said: "If it's just an auction, the price will be higher, right?"
Thinking that the market price of the imitation I bought for 80 yuan was around 4 million yuan, I thought that the conscience of these people has really been eaten by dogs.
When it comes to nonsense and shamelessness, no one can compare to these people.
Gu Chen, who had been secretly filming, still confirmed to the man in Tang suit: "Then what is the name of this master? Is what you said reliable?"
"Young man, how can you talk to a master like this?" The manager on the side also changed his expression. He quickly walked to the bookshelf of the man in Tang suit, pointed to a pile of trophies and certificates and said:
"Did you see that? The director of the Greater China Art Appraisal Center, Liu Deming, is the one you see in front of you."
"And he is also a famous expert in ceramic appraisal, gemstone appraisal and ancient coin appraisal."
"Young man, you are lucky today. Master Liu usually doesn't come here. It just so happens that our Master Liu just flew back from a Duke's home in Europe."
"Duke?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but screamed.
"Yes! You heard it right, he is a Duke in Europe." Looking at Liu Deming behind him who was pretending to drink tea, the male manager immediately said: "The Duke invited Master Liu to his manor to help him identify a batch of tea.
Collection."
Having said this, the male manager accurately found a photo of Liu Demin and an old white man from the bookshelf, and quickly took it to Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei to show off:
"Did you see it? This is the Duke. In terms of appraisal, our Master Liu is very famous in the circle. You are lucky today."
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, who had seen countless technical photos, also found that there were obvious traces of photoshopped photos of people in the album.
However, the two of them still pretended not to know anything and looked at Liu Deming with admiration.
I thought you were shameless enough to say that you were a guest of a European Duke with a P-picture.
Your skills in co-authoring this photo are not very good. You can't just let the network administrator help you casually do the photo in an Internet cafe, right?
"Master Liu, could you please take a closer look to see if there is anything wrong? Can it really be sold for 4 million? It won't make us happy in vain, right?"
Gu Chen also gained a lot of valuable experience in the process of interrogating prisoners.
At this moment, I am playing a victim role...
Because he had seen too many victims, Gu Chen was very good at acting, making Liu Demin and the male manager opposite him stunned.
However, the other party did not know the true identities of Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei.
At this moment, Liu Deming still looked aloof and said in a pointing tone: "I took a preliminary look at your ancient coin. It should be from the Yuan Dynasty and is very valuable."
"But as I said just now, if this ancient money is put in your hands, it will definitely be smashed. You can't give full play to its value because you have no channels, right?"
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other and nodded cutely.
Liu Deming clapped his hands, then spread his hands and said, "That's it! Professional things still have to be done by professionals. You don't have the channels, but we do."
"You must know that the market determines the value of ancient coins. For example, if you go to a general market, such as Baodao Southeast Asia, you may sell it for more than 2 million yuan."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "But if you go to the United States or Dubai, or North America and Canada, it is possible to sell for 3 million yuan, 5 million yuan, it is possible...
…”
Less than half an hour after Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei entered the house, they spent 80 yuan to buy an imitation ancient coin. Thanks to Liu Deming's praise, the value has exceeded 5 million.
And Liu Demin is still talking endlessly at this moment...
"Master Liu, if you can really sell 5 million, you will really make a lot of money." Lu Weiwei was not too happy.
Liu Demin also laughed and continued to talk nonsense: "Although the channels can sell them for this money, some of them are higher than the price you sell."
"But these three market prices are different from those three market prices, so our service fees are also different."
Pulling his fingers, Liu Demin began to introduce again: "The auction price of this treasure island is 31,600 yuan, and the auction price of this Southeast Asia is 38,000 yuan."
"There are also auctions in Dubai, the United States, North America and Canada. Here, our price is 68,000 yuan per piece."
"Wait a minute!" Gu Chen suddenly interrupted him and said, "Didn't we agree that there will be no charge? Why are we charging again?"
Glancing at Lu Weiwei who looked calm next to him, Gu Chen quickly touched her shoulder.
Lu Weiwei, who was slow to respond, quickly responded: "That's right? Just now you said there would be no charge."
"This is different." The male manager was also busy explaining: "We definitely don't charge the appraisal fee, but we have to charge a certain amount of service fees to help you run the auction."
"And the more expensive you want to sell, the higher the service fee will be. After all, we are not a charity. We can't help you run the auction for free. You still get nothing, which can't be justified in exchange, right?
"
It was also after listening to the male manager's words that Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei pretended to suddenly realize.
"Oh! So that's it!" Gu Chen also smiled and said: "The money doesn't matter, but can this be sold?"
"Yes, I definitely can." Liu Demin on the side also looked confident and smiled calmly: "Young man, if I can't sell it, then why should I cooperate with you? What's the point of opening a company here? Just wait.
Become a millionaire."
