115 Antique watches, out-of-town transactions(1/2)
Chu Xiangqian was overjoyed, which meant it could definitely be repaired.
Just for fashion items, gold coupons are needed to repair and buy them.
However, I already have 621 gold coupons, so I can repair a few watches.
Smiling at Qianzi, he asked, "Brother, are there any watches of this brand?"
In terms of its ability to maintain value, Patek Philippe will definitely rank among the top three.
Chu Xiangqian naturally preferred this brand of watches for his collection.
Soon, Chu Xiangqian had two old watches in front of him, but the price made it impossible to pick them up.
Of course, in fact, in the eyes of acne, the first watch is not picking up something, but throwing money into the water.
Although the two Patek Philippes at the back cost 94 yuan in total, at least the watch can run and be used.
If the original strap is replaced, it will look 70% to 80% new.
How could Chu Xiangqian listen to him? As long as the original watch strap is there, it will be more valuable for collection.
I bought these two watches for 94 without any hesitation.
Then, with acne looking at him like a fool, he walked over to Gong Changqing.
Old Man Gong also looked at a fool and said, "You have so much money to burn, why did you buy three watches that no one wants?"
"What do you know?" Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, "It's hard to buy something you like when you have money. If I like it, can you take care of it?"
"Yes," Gong Changqing shook his head. If he encountered a piece of good porcelain, he would still want to buy it even if he didn't eat or drink it.
"I have contacted many old friends in the past few days, and I have also come to see a lot of good things. It's just that this time, while I am willing to exchange antiques for meat, I also hope that I can use gold bars and silver dollars to buy more meat with you."<
/p>
Chu Xiangqian was stunned, "It seems that you old guys also realize that the days after the Chinese New Year are likely to be more difficult."
Gong Changqing saw that he saw through it at a glance and stopped hiding it. He whispered, "We people are not in power now and have no business, but the old relationships in the past are still there.
Write letters and send telegrams to the north and ask questions in the south, and you can always collect some information.
And it’s not like there were no precedents for two or even three consecutive harvest seasons in previous years.
If you look at history books, there are more such records.
Seeing that this year is so difficult, if we don’t make more preparations, if there is still a severe drought next year, people will really starve to death.
When the time comes, what’s the point of antiques if you have gold bars hidden in your hands?”
Chu Qianqian nodded, Chinese people have always had the awareness to prepare for a rainy day, and the history of the Celestial Dynasty is a history of starvation.
Any dynasty that can have enough to eat is a prosperous age.
But in the entire history, how many times can be called prosperous?
And even in prosperous times, there are still many people who are hungry.
If you look through county annals from various places, you can always find words about great famine, disaster, and famine in a certain year.
Chu Xiangqian didn't hesitate. Anyway, more and more meat was stored in the warehouse. If safety could be guaranteed, selling some would be considered a clearance.
"How much do you want?"
Gong Changqing was stunned and asked, "How many do you have?"
Chu Xiangqian smiled, thinking that if the transaction was done outside the city, or even in the mountains, there would be no problem in terms of safety.
"500 catties of fish, 50 catties of chestnuts, and 50 catties of red dates."
After he paused for a moment, he saw that there were already 200 pheasants and 105 hares, but we cannot sell more of these things.
Otherwise, no matter how powerful the hunter is, it is impossible to collect so many in a short period of time.
Of the 4 wild boars in the warehouse, 2 can be taken out. The 400-jin big pig and the 200-jin piglet are left as spares.
As for the 10 silly roe deer raised in Novice Village, Chu Xiangqian thought about it and still had no intention of selling them.
"Two wild boars weigh 380 kilograms after slaughter, and 20 pheasants and 20 hares weigh about 160 kilograms."
After Gong Changqing heard this, his breathing became heavy.
I quickly took out my abacus and started calculating.
Moreover, this guy's heart has long been toward Chu Qianqian. After all, he clearly understands that he is just a middleman.
When Chu Xiangqian is happy, he can get more meat.
"The fish in Pigeon City costs 3 cents per catty, so I'll give you 5 cents, a total of 250 yuan. Chestnuts cost 3 cents, and red dates cost 7 cents, a total of 50 yuan.
Wild boar, pheasant, and hare are all priced at 2 yuan per catty. That’s 1,080 yuan.”
Gong Changqing suppressed his excitement and waved the last bead, "The total is 1,380 yuan."
Chu nodded and said, "I will definitely not transport the things into the city. I told you about the relationship. If you want these things, go to the Xuanfu Palace outside the city at 12 o'clock tonight and wait."
Gong Changqing had no objection to this, and Xuanfu Palace was called back to Longguan.
It's about 30 miles away from Deshengmen, but it's not too far away.
He just said worriedly, "Huilongguan is not a small place, and it's dark and we can't see clearly. How can we find you?"
Chu Xiangqian said without any worry, "You don't need to look for me, my two dogs will find you."
Although Gong Changqing was still worried, 1,380 yuan seemed like a lot, but in reality he could only bring 3 gold bars tonight.
Three gold bars cost exactly 660 yuan, and the remaining 720 yuan must be offset by antiques. Otherwise, it will be difficult to do business with Chu Er next time.
Calculated based on the price of 720 points, approximately 10 treasures are needed.
After Gong Changqing had an idea, he smiled and said, "At noon, I will go to some old friends to look for good things, and I will take them to my house first.
After you return to the city tomorrow, if it's early, go to my house."
Chu nodded forward, and then his heart moved, "If there are calligraphy and paintings by Tang Bohu, Zheng Banqiao, Huizong Zhao Ji, bring them to me."
Gong Changqing's face suddenly showed an expression of embarrassment.
If several companies work together, they can easily come up with a few good calligraphy, paintings, and antiques that the owner doesn't like but that are good.
If it can be limited to three people including Tang Bohu, some companies may not be willing, or they may not have it at all.
Moreover, the calligraphy and paintings of Huizong Zhao Ji are easy to say. Most people nowadays don’t like them, but the calligraphy and paintings of Tang Bohu and Zheng Banqiao have always been scarce.
"Okay, let me ask. If there is one, I will get it for you."
Chu Xiangqian left the commission store and walked out of the city on his bicycle.
Fortunately, last time I asked Aiguo and Aimin to bring back a lot of bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets from the forest farm. More than an hour later, Chu Xiangqian arrived outside Huilong Temple.
At this time, there was only a small village around Huilongguan. Chu Qianqian did not go to that village, but sent out long-tailed tits to look around.
An hour later, after roughly checking the nearby terrain, I entered Novice Village. I kept my tits outside and stared at them.
After a long sleep, I woke up naturally. My eyes were on the long-tailed tit, and I found that it was already dark outside.
Chu Xiangqian immediately lost all thoughts of going back to the street to see off the silly roe deer.
Anyway, the reason is easy to find. I casually told Chen Huaili that I encountered a nest of hares on the mountain and took some time to get it, which delayed my return to the city.
I believe that not only would Chen Huaili not blame him, he would actually be happy because he got a few more hares.
I sat in a Novice Village restaurant and ate a roasted pheasant and roasted chestnuts.
Chu Xiangqian then thought that he might as well clean up the pheasants and hares.
Not only can rabbit skin be made into fur coats, hats and gloves, but chicken feathers can also be made into feather dusters.
Rather than taking advantage of Gong Changqing's old connections, it's better to keep them for yourself and exchange them for a little money.
Just do it as soon as you think of it, and soon, 20 pheasants and 20 hares were taken care of.
While waiting, Chu Xiangqian also repaired three Patek Philippe watches in a jewelry store.
A 2-point gold coupon was not expensive at all for Chu Xiangqian at this time.
After being repaired in the jewelry store, the three watches seemed to be brand new. Chu Xiangqian secretly said that he could no longer use the game to repair these three watches in the future.
Otherwise, decades later, if it still looks like new, it will definitely be called an imitation.
I picked an inconspicuous watch, put it on my hand and tried it on. With a smile on my face, I realized that I am a man who has a famous watch to wear.
And when you buy these three watches, two of them can tell time, so you don’t have to worry about inaccurate time.
At around 11 o'clock in the evening, the reminder of the tit came to my mind. Through the sight of the tit, I quickly discovered that Gong Changqing and his group had arrived early.
Chu Xiangqian didn't care. After all, the fish, chestnuts, and red dates in his hands were only 415 kilograms and 80 kilograms. The weight was not enough. He had to collect the fish and chestnuts that were refreshed in Xinshou Village after 12 o'clock.
Moreover, he could also take the opportunity to look carefully behind and around Gong Changqing and his group to see if there was anyone ambushing them.
Fortunately, the result is not bad.
Although the eight people were with them, they knew in their hearts that if the gangsters attacked the gangsters, they would be the only ones who would die.
After 12 o'clock, let Da Zhuang and Hong Niu go brush pheasants and hares, while I went to collect chestnuts and red dates.
