This time Shen Yu was going to pick up a few small pieces of jade that had been missed.
Nowadays, people are particularly fond of jade and jade. Some small jade pieces in Shen Yu’s shop are in short supply. Some jade bracelets and jade pendants from the Qing Dynasty have been bought.
It was noon, and the breeze was blowing.
The two leaks I picked up today made Shen Yu feel very at ease.
Although the white jade longevity lock is nothing compared to the topaz paperweight, Shen Yu just looked at it and saw that the texture is pure, the whole body is as crystal clear as snow, and the tentacles are moist. The most important thing is that the oiliness is very good, and it can even be said to have barely reached the level of suet. The level of white jade.
The most important thing is that this longevity lock is much larger than those round pendants, Zigang cards and so on.
Just putting this longevity lock in the store can be used as a store treasure.
As for the Ganhuang jade paperweight, Shen Yu didn’t know the price of this ancient Ganhuang jade with flawless jade color, the same appearance and inside, and as moist as mutton fat.
Because it can be said to be priceless.
If you have to say a price, it must be at least eight figures.
Isn’t 300,200 a little too much to buy two of the other party’s family antiques?
On the surface, it looks like the money is not much, but in fact it is not much. First of all, the other party is willing to sell it.
Second, Shen Yu felt that the price he gave was already very high, and it was very benevolent compared to those who charged hundreds or thousands.
It is absolutely impossible to get 300,000 yuan for these two antiques in any antique store.
Antique dealers collect antiques, bitten by insects and rats, with bare boards and hairless clothes, and tattered coats. This is not just a scene in a movie or TV show, but a real thing.
……
"Miscellaneous Yufang".
"The name of this store is quite unique."
At this time, Shen Yu was standing in front of an antique antique shop, looking up at the store's plaque.
The gold paint on the plaque has peeled off a bit. From this point of view, this store must have been open for at least ten years.
Although Shen Yu was a frequent visitor to Qingniuguan Antique Market in the past, he rarely came to Jade Street and had no impression of this store because Shen Yu spent most of his time in Calligraphy and Painting Street, Porcelain Street, and Miscellaneous Street. Spread or pick up leaks.
Besides, there are thousands of antique shops in the six streets in front and back of the Qingniuguan Antique Market, and it is impossible for Shen Yu to visit them all.
There is also a piece of red silk hanging under the store's plaque, with five characters written on it: "Big Sale with Tears."
"It's really interesting to make an antique store look like a two-yuan store. Now that you're here, let's go in and have a look." Thinking of this, Shen Yu opened the door and walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, Shen Yu almost fell over.
The smell in the store is really too strong, the instant noodles are mixed with the smell of sweat and some moldy smell.
The furnishings inside also surprised Shen Yu.
The antique store should not only be decorated in a simple, elegant and antique style, but it should also be clean and orderly.
The floor of this store is littered with cigarette butts and confetti, and it hasn’t been cleaned for at least three to five days.
There was a thick layer of oil on the glass cabinet where the jade was placed. Several wooden shelves in the distance were filled with all kinds of messy jade. It looked like the shelves might collapse at any time.
There is only one male clerk in his twenties in the store, who is playing with a fly swatter boredly at the moment, as if he is studying some martial arts skills to swat flies.
There are customers in the store. They are a young couple, about 23 or 24 years old. It seems that they should come to this jade shop to buy jade jewelry.
The conversation between the two was quite interesting, and Shen Yu almost laughed out loud.
Just listen to the girl complaining: "You want to buy jewelry for me and come to this small shop? This is too embarrassing."
The man was quite humorous, "Be confident and remove some of the parts. This store is really shabby."
"Then you still bring me here? The two-yuan store in front of my house is cleaner and neater than this store." The girl stamped her feet angrily.
The man continued to explain, "We are here to buy jade bracelets, not food. Why bother so much? Wouldn't it be nice to spend less money and buy you a better mobile phone?"
"Haha, if you don't care, then you can live here and don't come to my house to look for me in the future."
After the girl finished speaking, she turned around and left. The boy couldn't hold her back.
In desperation, I had no choice but to run out too.
Seeing this, Shen Yu also shook his head. This kind of antique shop could not have any good items, and turned around to leave.
At this time, the clerk noticed that a new customer had arrived, and quickly stood up and shouted, "Guest, please stay, our store is going to be renovated, whether it is ancient jade or new products in recent years.
"Whether it's jade bracelets, jade pendants, jade pendants, or jade ornaments, all are now at 20% off.
"It's cheaper to buy two pieces at a time. You won't suffer any loss if you buy a few pieces, whether you want to give them to relatives and friends or collect them for yourself."
"Oh, how cheap is it?" Shen Yu asked casually.
The male clerk gritted his teeth and looked like he was really tearing up the sale, "We'll give you an additional 50% off the listed price."
Shen Yu smiled and said no more, but he didn't continue walking, but started shopping in the store.
Seeing this, the clerk scratched his head and said, "Dear guest, did I say something right? Why are you laughing?"
Shen Yu waved his hand and said it was okay.
In fact, the discounts in this kind of small store are just like playing house, because the prices in the store are all posted by him himself.
Take an ice-wax jade pendant as an example, whether it sells for 3,000, 30,000, or 300,000, it is the shop owner who has the final say.
Jewelry that is originally worth 2,000 yuan is priced at 40,000 yuan. Let alone 50% off, even if it is 10% off, it is still a profit, and it is still a huge profit.
The male clerk seemed to have noticed what Shen Yu was laughing at, "If you have something you like, just tell me. The price is easy to talk about. Although I am just a part-time worker, I can still make some decisions.
"And I do have a few pieces of old jade in this store. Whether you can pick them out depends on your own eyesight."
"Oh, if you say that, then I really need to take a closer look."
"You can take a look at it as you like. If you are not sure, just take a photo and ask others to help you. There are no secrets in my store. You can take whatever you want to take, and I can do it too." The male clerk has a good temper and what he says is very interesting. Zhongting.
After Shen Yu walked around the store for a while, he came directly to the locked tempered glass counter.
Generally, all the good things in antique stores are displayed here. If you want anything, you have to ask the clerk to take the key and open the anti-theft lock before you can take it out.
Most of the items displayed here are jadeite, Hotan sapphire, and Hotan white jade jewelry, including jade bracelets, pendants, jade pendants, bead strings, rings, etc.
There are also large-scale ornaments, such as monkeys praying for birthdays, a house full of wealth, jade brave, and sapphire cabbage.
After just one glance, Shen Yu nodded secretly.
Although the materials of the ornaments on the counter are not very good, in terms of carving work they are definitely of the highest quality.
It’s absolutely impossible to do without decades of hard work.
"You are really an expert. All the treasures in this store are here." The male clerk hid aside and flattered Shen Yu again.
Shen Yu smiled modestly, then pointed to a piece of Hetian jade "Full of Wealth" and asked: "The ancients said that although good jade is concentrated in the capital, the craftsmanship is best in Su County. The carving of this jade is exquisite. If I read it correctly, it is It’s a typical Su craftsman. I wonder which master of your shop carved these jades?”
The male clerk immediately replied: "They are all the craftsmanship of the old shop owner who passed away. Most of the jade articles here have been carved for more than ten years, and some are even decades old. If the young master's family hadn't been in need of money recently, they would have been reluctant to part with it. For sale."
Shen Yu nodded, "No wonder such good materials were made into ornaments. It turned out to be more than ten years ago."
As we all know, nowadays, good jade or green and white jade materials are more profitable to make jewelry, and they are easier to sell.
For example, if you buy five pairs of bracelets from a piece of jade, and use the leftover scraps to make pendants, egg noodles, etc., then people may come to buy them every day.
However, if the whole piece is carved into a large piece such as a jade cabbage or longevity peach, unless someone orders it, it is likely that it will not be sold in a year or even two years just by selling it in a store. This is too costly.
Judging from this point alone, the old shopkeeper of Zayufang should be an honest person who is not too profit-seeking.
Looking at some small ornaments and jade jewelry on the counter again, Shen Yu found that the prices were not expensive, so Shen Yu decided to pick up a few pieces and take them away.
