800,000 yuan is nothing to this Yongzheng underglaze red statue. It can be said to be a bargain price.
If possible, Shen Yu would like to directly give the other party 800,000 in cash, then take the porcelain and leave.
But Shen Yu can't do this.
The reason is not complicated. As we all know, the most taboo thing for buyers in antique transactions is to poke holes.
Since buyers have taboos, sellers also have taboos.
What sellers are most afraid of is exactly the opposite. What sellers are most afraid of is leaking their treasures!
Once Shen Yu says that I bought this plum vase, can I pay 800,000 in cash?
No need to doubt, the stall owner will become suspicious soon.
Someone may ask, if the other party wants 800,000 yuan and you give him 800,000 yuan, will he still let you get the porcelain?
Yes, he really doesn’t necessarily let you take it away!
Most people who sell antiques are suspicious. The more willing the buyer is to pay and the higher his status, the more suspicious the seller will be.
If you are hesitant when buying antiques, show the seller that you want it but think it is too expensive, and the seller will feel at ease.
Once you pay the money happily, and the other party refuses to pay and says he made a mistake, 800,000 yuan will immediately become 8 million yuan.
There is no evidence. People say you heard wrong. What I want is 8 million.
Faced with this situation, should you buy it or not?
What's more, the seller simply closed the stall and stopped selling.
In Shen Yu's career of picking up leaks, he encountered too many such things.
They closed the stall and stopped selling. Even if the leakage in front of me is so big that it has five famous kilns, Yuan blue and white, Yongxuan blue and white, you can't stop people and force them to buy, right?
Therefore, how to negotiate prices when buying and selling antiques is a big knowledge, which is directly related to the success of your search.
"Boss, I like this bottle very much. Let's not talk about the dynasty or generation. In this way, you just tell me a price that you can't sell for less. If I think it's ok, I'll buy it. If it's not ok, then we'll come back next time."
Shen Yu said this in a calm and calm manner, with a faint smile on his face, as if he could buy it or not.
Now it's the stall owner's turn to be in trouble. This bottle is a family tradition and has been passed down for nine generations. It's all deceiving people. In fact, he just collected it from other places the morning before yesterday.
The stall owner’s surname is Wang, and his given name is Daxing. Counting upwards, his ancestors and grandsons have been in the antique business for three generations. Although they are not rich and powerful, they still have enough food and clothing.
The day before yesterday, a colleague from a neighboring city decided not to engage in the antique business due to physical reasons. He sold all the items in his home at low prices. Wang Daxing drove there and bought them all.
It was a coincidence that a family next to my colleague was renovating their ancestral house. This family's ancestors were very wealthy and had many old items in the house. Many people come here to buy old houses. This family is a must-visit.
It is a coincidence that when the painter was painting the roof beams, he accidentally knocked over the paint bucket. The entire 18L bucket of antiseptic wood oil fell from the three-meter-high scaffolding, covering the main house where the porcelain was placed.
A whole library has been poured over.
The more than twenty pieces of porcelain placed above were all stained with paint without exception.
The first few even turned into paint cans, not only on the outside but also on the inside. In the words of the owner, you can just pick one up and paint it with a paint brush.
Naturally, the owner would not let it go and wanted the decoration team to lose money.
The decoration team was also very aggrieved. The foreman beat his chest and cried. The painter was working hard on painting, but the owner had to ask for this and that. The painting requirements for each roof beam were different. It was precisely because of this that the painter was distracted.
.
If the painter is not disturbed, this kind of thing will naturally not happen. Moreover, it was agreed before that the owner should pack things in advance before repairs. When this happens, the owner has the greatest responsibility, and the decoration team is only willing to charge less.
decoration costs.
Just as the two sides were arguing, Wang Daxing arrived just in time.
He walked over to the ancient shelf and took a look. Well, the items were all good. According to his eyesight, they should all be high imitations of folk kilns in the late Qing Dynasty. In the end, they negotiated a price of one thousand pieces, and he accepted ten in one go.
This underglaze red is one of them. To put it bluntly, the cost is one thousand yuan, so how much is appropriate?
At this time, Shen Yu's words rang in his ears again, "If the boss can't bear it, then I'll go shopping elsewhere."
Wang Daxing hurriedly stopped him, "I'm willing to give it up. I'm absolutely willing to give it up. There's no reason why anyone who sells antiques wouldn't be willing to sell it. Let's do this, brother, give me 500,000 yuan and take it away!"
Shen Yu shook his head, "I'm willing to pay up to 100,000!"
Wang Daxing also shook his head, "400,000!"
Shen Yue was happy, "400,000 is fine, but you have to give me a tip. I think your Guangxu imitation Kangxi blue and white flower amphora is very good."
Shen Yu's words frightened Wang Daxing and waved his hands repeatedly, "Brother, you are joking. The base price of my amphorae is 700,000. If I sell you two pieces for 400,000, then I will lose money. I am giving you 1
Wan, can you give me 390,000?"
Shen Yu smiled: "200,000, maybe. If I read your plum vase correctly, it must be a fine porcelain from a private kiln imitating an official kiln in the late Qing Dynasty. It has a certain collection value, otherwise I wouldn't waste time with you."
, I’ll buy it if it works, but if it doesn’t work, I’ll forget about it.”
Wang Daxing gritted his teeth and said, "Look, brother, you are also someone who knows the goods. Let's buy it for 350,000!"
Shen Yu: "210,000!"
Wang Daxing: "340,000!"
……
……
……
"300,000 is really no less!"
"Okay, deal!"
The stall owner looked at the red banknotes piled all over the stall, his hands trembling slightly with excitement. He bought this plum vase for 1,000 yuan, and now he has resold it. The 1,000 yuan instantly turned into 300,000 yuan, which is a full thirty times increase. ,Get rich overnight!
Shen Yu asked again: "Don't you count?"
Wang Daxing pretended to be grand and said, "No more counting. What else do you count with bundles of cash? This plum vase is yours now. I will put it in a sponge wooden box for you."
A few minutes after Shen Yu left, a voice rang out next to Wang Daxing's stall, "Okay, Xiao Wang, if I remember correctly, you paid a thousand yuan for your bottle a few days ago, right? It changed hands. We sold it for 300,000 yuan, which is a huge fortune. You have to treat me to the supper today."
The person who spoke was none other than the old man whom Shen Yu had just slandered about his kindness and evil intentions.
Wang Daxing smiled broadly, "Please, of course you have to, but windfalls don't count. Mr. Gong, didn't you make more than 90,000 yuan from just one painting last month?"
Mr. Gong took a breath and said, "I'm different. My painting cost 30,000 yuan just to collect, and I asked someone to frame it again. Besides, it took me two months to do it. I was in and out, and I didn't make any money." A few bucks."
Wang Daxing: "Okay, okay, after the fair, one by one, we all go to Yunlaiju to eat shabu-shabu. Everyone must go, I'll treat you."
……
Now Shen Yu is not complacent because he missed a top-quality Yongzheng underglaze red plum vase worth eight figures or even eight figures. Now he is looking at an ancient painting in front of a calligraphy and painting stall.
This is a hanging scroll of "Fish Fish" inked and colored on paper. The paper is slightly yellowed and full of simplicity.
What attracted Shen Yu was not the lifelike fish in the painting, but the poems and signatures on it.
There are only two lines in the poem: "Thunder and thunderbolt reflect the sky, and there is no trace of the picture when I look back."
Signed: Nan Tang, Xu Gao.
Xu Gao [gāo] was a famous painter in the Southern Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties. He was best at painting fish. It is said that the fish he painted could disappear from the painting on a thunderstorm day, fly up to the nine heavens with thunder and lightning, and turn the fish into a dragon.
If Xu Gao's paintings are authentic and cost hundreds of millions, how can they dare to put them up for sale here? Do they think the buyers are fools?
