Chapter 32 Watching others make money is more uncomfortable than losing money yourself!
After a whole night of fermentation of the treasure appraisal meeting that day, some wealthy people in Lanling City began to get ready to take action. Even in the business of cheating, the team became unprecedentedly strong.
There are people who blindly join in the fun, and of course there are also people who are thoughtful.
For example, the people who squandered money in the casino and those who participated in the treasure appraisal meeting that day. They found that only the third master and the shopkeeper of Bafang Jinbao Qian made a fortune, and most of the other people's treasures were not used by Mr. Chen.
Take a fancy to.
As a result, these soldiers divided into two groups and went all the way to ask Mr. Xiao for advice on how to seize Mr. Chen's heart and make Mr. Chen fall in love no matter how good or bad he was?
In the past few days, the threshold of the Xiao family has been almost broken by the enthusiastic Lanling people. The yard is brightly lit all night long. The feeling that Mr. Xiao is being held up by the stars is back!
He enjoyed this feeling of ecstasy so much that he forgot about his wife and daughter who died not long ago, and even about the big events that were about to happen to the Xiao family. Mrs. Xiao's seventieth birthday was coming soon.
On the other hand, we went to Shopkeeper Qian’s Bafang Jinbao to see what’s so unique about the treasures displayed here and why can each of them be sold at such a good price?
In fact, Shopkeeper Qian has been Wang Jiuyuan's for a long time, and the buying and selling process is just left hand and right hand. And Shopkeeper Qian is the most important bait to catch Mr. Xiao.
Immediately afterwards, the second invitation to the Treasure Appraisal Society was delivered to Mr. Xiao as promised. This time he was more courageous and took away one third of the valuable treasures in the warehouse.
However, Mr. Xiao did not dare to take the valuables given by the royal family. If he were not careful, it would be a crime of beheading.
The spring breeze was triumphant, and the horse's hoof was broken. Mr. Xiao led a group of servants and entered Wenyuan Villa with their heads held high and their chests high under the envious eyes of everyone.
"Third Master, you are here!"
"Third Master, please come this way..."
Mr. Xiao received the highest level of courtesy at Wenyuan Villa. Many servants took the initiative to greet him along the way, and even the housekeeper personally opened the way for him.
Mr. Xiao entered the main hall of the Treasure Appraisal Association as if he was sleepwalking, so much so that he even ignored the many new guards in the villa.
Unless everyone brought out the store's treasure or family heirloom, Mr. Chen reluctantly showed joy, and the hammer appraiser's expression improved and he accepted it with a smile.
It seems that Mr. Chen’s vision is even higher!
However, Mr. Xiao seemed to be much more at ease here. When almost every treasure was taken out, Mr. Chen smiled and said loudly, "Very good! Very good!".
According to this rhythm, Mr. Xiao sold most of them, and all of them were sold at a good price.
Just when Mr. Xiao was so satisfied, something happened that made him vomit blood.
Shopkeeper Qian first took out a pair of Ruyi jade and sold it for a high price of one thousand taels! And a few months ago, Mr. Xiao happily sold it to Bafang Jinbao for two hundred taels!
But this is just the beginning.
Shopkeeper Qian successively took out a handful of pearls, a set of jade chessboards, and a set of agate headsets...
As the things shopkeeper Qian took out became more valuable, the selling price became more expensive, and Mr. Xiao became more heartbroken and gritted his teeth!
Most of these things came from me, and I got them from Mr. Han, but the four times price difference was all made by shopkeeper Qian!
How could this be that the shopkeeper Qian of Bafang Jinbaoli was so sharp that he clearly took advantage of himself! But he couldn't say anything about it, so he could only swallow it secretly!
There is an unwritten rule in the antiques circle: once a transaction is completed, you cannot return the item or regret it, otherwise your reputation will be ruined and your career in this industry will be over.
Watching others make money is more uncomfortable than losing money yourself!
Mr. Xiao's face became more and more ugly. Shopkeeper Qian's behavior was like a slap, hitting his face so hard that it hurt! And his heart seemed to be grabbed hard and then let go so hard that it almost hurt.
Can't breathe!
Wang Jiuyuan in the next room was playfully admiring Mr. Xiao's face-changing skills in the hall, but he admired Xiao Wenjun even more in his heart. This woman calculated every step just right.
Mr. Xiao probably didn't realize that his thoughts were being deliberately guided by others.
Today's treasure appraisal meeting had much fewer people than last time. However, the amount of transactions was more than three times that of last time, reaching more than two hundred thousand taels. However, this time the top prize was Bafang Jinbao.
Shopkeeper Qian, he alone accounts for more than 100,000 taels!
This treasure appraising meeting is more like a weathervane. The rich and famous from Lanling City’s aristocratic families have all gone to Bafang Jinbao, and the Xiao family has become quiet again!
"Sir, during your two treasure appraisal meetings, excluding the purchase cost and the price of the return gift, those treasures earned a full fifty thousand taels of silver!" The accountant stuttered a bit when he spoke. This is the first time he has seen this for so many years as an accountant.
It’s such a profitable business, and the money comes in quickly.
"Fifty thousand taels!" Mr. Xiao was also shocked by this number! He thought to himself: If all the antique jades sold by Shopkeeper Qian today were in his own name, wouldn't it be more? Mr. Han's four million taels,
Wouldn’t it be easier to put it all together?
"Calculate how much money is left in my account? The third lady's land deed is also included!" Mr. Xiao thought for a moment and gritted his teeth and said!
An hour later, the accountant reported back: "Sir, the total value of the shop and Zhuangzi land in your hands is about 850,000 taels. Add in what you have earned these days and the living money in your hands, and the total is 1.1 million taels."
"The fields over the third lady's side are much better, the location of the shops is better, and the quantity is larger, but there is not much money left on the books. It is estimated that the total is about 2.6 million taels!"
The accountant is sweating all over now because he is shocked by the financial resources of the third lady!
Of course, the accountant definitely doesn’t know that most of these are Xiao Wenjun’s mother’s dowry, and what’s left now is only one-tenth of one-tenth!
Mr. Xiao was shocked again and was speechless for a long time!
The last time I asked someone to check the accounts, my attention was completely attracted by the huge expenditures in Li's accounts. I didn't check the specific total price in detail?
But even so, there is still a shortfall of 300,000 taels from four million taels!
"Master?" The accountant touched the cold sweat on his forehead and asked tentatively: "Is there anything else I need to do?"
"What day is today?" Mr. Xiao asked.
"Sir, today is April 30th." The accountant was stunned. The master's thinking jumped so much?
"It's okay, you can go down! Don't say a word about today's events!" Mr. Xiao waved his hand and motioned for him to leave. There are only ten days left before the date agreed with Mr. Han!
"Yes! Please excuse me." The cashier bowed out respectfully, secretly making up his mind that he must embrace the master's golden thigh!
That night, Mr. Xiao sat there for half the night, his mind was pulled so hard by two poles, he was ups and downs, and he couldn't sleep at all...
Several treasure appraisal meetings were held in succession, but fewer and fewer people attended, and the total transaction price became higher and higher. Gradually, it seemed that Shopkeeper Qian and Mr. Xiao had reserved the venue.
Mr. Chen no longer has a high regard for ordinary imperial gifts, and he also let out the news that if things continue to be like this in the future, there will be no need to hold treasure appraisal meetings again.
Mr. Xiao's state of mind changed greatly. After being stimulated again and again by shopkeeper Qian, Mr. Chen's lavish spending, and the few trading days left, he had the idea of taking a gamble.
Perhaps, the difference of 300,000 taels can be earned from Mr. Chen!
Just at this time, a new strange news came out of Lanling City. The good guy who was guarding Bafang Jinbao every day saw a man carrying a package enter Bafang Jinbao like a ghost late at night, and took out a treasure.
.
And this news soon spread to the ears of everyone who likes to speculate, and the betting circle is abuzz again!
At the same time, it was natural for Mr. Xiao to listen. Someone would hand me a pillow when I was sleeping...
