It just so happened that he inherited Mr. Li's 'Chenxiang Pavilion' antique shop in Quancheng. Taking these antiques back, making money is the next best thing. The key is to be able to build the 'Chenxiang Pavilion' brand, which will be beneficial to the expansion of Chenxiang Pavilion in the future.
This is what Liu Dong values about.
Therefore, after thinking about this again, Liu Dong already had the intention of agreeing. Although he would still make money by buying these remaining antiques at 10,000 each. However, Liu Dong did not intend to be so cheap on these antiques. His father had just passed away.
, not only did not feel the slightest sadness, but instead added insult to injury and sold all his life collection to a greedy person.
"I have already picked out the truly profitable ones among these collections. The remaining 10,000 pieces are too expensive and I don't want them!" Liu Dong shook his head resolutely.
Looking at his appearance, several middle-aged men and women couldn't help but look at each other. Although my father was engaged in collecting antiques at the beginning, they were all laymen. Their elder brother did the appraisal of these antiques, so how much are these antiques worth?
They didn't know either. They just decided on the price of 10,000 pieces after seeing several transactions. They thought the price was already very low, but they didn't expect it to be too expensive.
Thinking about it, before Liu Dong came, more than 20 items here had been sold. Now, after picking and choosing, the remaining ones should indeed be the least valuable according to normal logic.
"Well, boss! How about you give me a price?" When Liu Dong entered the door at first, the middle-aged woman in a red jacket said.
"That's right, boss, just tell me a price. As long as it's suitable, we'll sell you the rest!"...
The other three people also shouted after hearing this.
Hearing this, Liu Dong's mouth curved, and then he frowned. After pretending to hesitate for a while, he said in a serious tone: "Well, since you want to sell it, I'm not crazy about you. The remaining things are
The value is too low. They are all from the Republic of China. I don’t know how much they cost, but I can pay up to 2,000 for each item!"
"Two thousand? Boss, is this price too low?" said the oldest of the four, a middle-aged man with a middle-parted hair, a pointed chin, and a skinny figure.
"Two thousand is still less? Is your monthly salary two thousand?"
Facing Liu Dong's rhetorical question, the skinny middle-aged man showed a hint of embarrassment. Now he only works as a librarian at Nanhua Bookstore in Xicheng District. His monthly salary is only a little over a thousand.
However, after the old father's Qianlong official kiln was sold, he also received more than three million, and he is now considered a rich man. However, the money came too fast, and he has not changed his previous concept of living in poverty.
Therefore, when he heard what Liu Dong said this time, although he felt a little angry in his heart, he did not dare to get angry when facing Liu Dong, a wealthy man with hundreds of thousands of improper money. Moreover, when he heard what Liu Dong said, he also felt two things in his heart.
One thousand yuan is indeed a lot of money. But if they really sell it for two thousand yuan, they will be a little unwilling.
In addition, the three of them had similar thoughts. What they negotiated at the beginning was that everyone would share the money after the Qianlong official kiln was sold, and the remaining items belonged to the eldest brother. However, the remaining antiques were worth one or two million before they regretted it. Today it is even more so.
I came to the door just to get a piece of the pie.
It's just that their eldest brother has been here before, but due to the distribution agreement they made before, they didn't make a penny. Now that they finally caught the opportunity, they naturally don't want to give up easily. Otherwise, after passing this village, there will be no other store.
knew.
However, after seeing their eldest brother's income of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands just now, they are always a little unwilling to let them sell it all for only 2,000 pieces.
"Boss, two thousand one piece is really too low! Why don't you give it a higher price?" the woman in red licked her face and smiled enthusiastically.
Hearing this, Liu Dong pretended to have a look of helplessness on his face. After thinking for a while, he nodded, "Okay, I'll give you another thousand. If you still don't sell it, forget it! Anyway, these are the remaining things.
I don’t really want it either!”
After listening to Liu Dong's words, the four of them looked at each other. After exchanging glances, the woman in red nodded fiercely, "Boss, we sold it, but we want cash!"
"Cash? Yes, no problem! But you have to give me a written statement saying that these antiques were sold to me voluntarily by the four of you brothers and sisters. I don't want your eldest brother to come back and quarrel with me!" Liu Dong smiled calmly.
road.
"Okay, let's establish the document and we'll write it now!"
Seeing that the four people agreed, Liu Dong then used the cover of his backpack to take out the paper, pen and ink pad from his mustard space. Under the gaze of the four people, he finished writing the purchase and sale documents, and then asked the four people to sign in turn.
After pressing his fingerprint again and nodding with satisfaction, Liu Dong put the things away.
Next, the four of them cooperated with Liu Dong to order the remaining antiques. Altogether, there were fifty-two pieces, large and small, at the previously agreed prices.
Although this is a lot of money, Liu Dong's mustard space contains more than two million pens and papers to avoid the trouble of going to the bank to withdraw money if he likes something. But Mu Gang was here just now, so he couldn't directly
Taking the money out of it, he no longer had any worries. So, using the cover of the backpack behind his back, Liu Dong took out sixteen piles of red hundred-yuan bills, then took out a pile, counted four thousand from it and put it back
Put the rest in your pocket and put the rest on the table.
"This is 156,000 yuan, please order it!"
After listening to Liu Dong's words, the four brothers and sisters came forward with greedy faces. After first checking the authenticity of the money, they each took nearly 40,000 yuan as agreed before. They thanked Liu Dong and left happily.
This old house has become decayed.
"Haha, brother, what a big deal!"
At this time, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a plaid vest, with dark complexion, who had been standing aside to watch Liu Dong's transaction, said with a smile.
"Haha, not bad!" Liu Dong responded with a smile.
When Liu Dong came in to look at things just now, there were three people here, two of them left, and this person stayed until the end. Just now when Liu Dong negotiated terms with the four brothers and sisters to buy all the antiques at low prices, this person
He just watched from the side and didn't make a sound, which seemed a bit mysterious.
Seeing the indifferent look on Liu Dong's face, the middle-aged man didn't have any anger on his face. Instead, he reached out and took out a white business card from his jacket pocket and walked towards Liu Dong.
"I see that you also like to collect antiques. Our company just happens to have an auction in two days. I hope you can come!"
"Auction?" Liu Dong's heart moved. After taking the business card, it was blank, with only a phone number. Seeing this, Liu Dong understood it in his mind.
Seeing the change in the expression on Liu Dong's face, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "If you want to participate, just call this number after eight o'clock in the evening on the 22nd, and someone will naturally tell you the address."
"It's easy to say, but can I take someone with me?" Liu Dong asked.
"Yes, but you can only bring two people at most!"
"Okay, I know!"
Watching the middle-aged man leave, Liu Dong looked at the business card in his hand and put it away.
"I didn't expect to run into an underground auction!" Liu Dong thought to himself, and then decided to go and have a look. Although the items in the underground auction were not very legitimate, and there were some real and fake items on it, so it was more thoughtful.
Although he has a good eye, many good things will appear in underground auctions. Therefore, Liu Dong is still looking forward to it.
"Squeak!" At this moment, the door that was originally ajar was pushed open from the outside.
Then, three old men of about the same age walked in one after another.
Seeing the three of them, Liu Dong walked over quickly, "Mr. Wen, Mr. Liang...!" He had seen the remaining old man before. When he entered the door just now, the old man happened to go out.
"This is Lao Ma, and he is also an antique collector. He has many interesting things at home!"
"Hello, Mr. Ma, I am Liu Dong!" Liu Dong said quickly after listening to Mr. Wen's introduction.
Seeing that he respects the elders and is polite and considerate, the old man surnamed Ma also has a good impression of him.
"Young man, that's great! Being able to find high-quality Hongshan jades at such a young age is not something everyone can do!"
Hearing this, Liu Dong naturally understood that Mr. Wen had already told the story of how they got together as an old man and a young man. However, Liu Dong didn't think anything about it. It was not a crime. Moreover, this was also beneficial.
Expand his reputation in the antiques circle.
Don't underestimate this reputation. With this reputation, major auctions, even underground auctions, and major antique stores can notify him if they have good things. In addition, on an occasion like today, he
You can also get news. This is the antique collecting circle. Inside the circle and outside the circle are two completely different situations.
"You've always been rewarded. It's just good luck!"
"Haha, the young man is quite humble, not bad! But sometimes, luck is also a kind of strength!" At this time, Mr. Liang also laughed.
The three of them are old friends who have known each other for more than ten years. What is rare is that they all feel good when looking at Liu Dong.
"By the way, how many things did you buy? Why did those bastard children of the old Zhao family leave just now?"
Hearing Mr. Wen's question, Liu Dong smiled and said: "I bought all the antiques here. They got the benefits and left naturally!"
"What, you...you bought all of these?" Mr. Liang asked with a hint of disbelief on his face.
And just like him, Mr. Wen and Mr. Ma also had deep surprises on their faces after listening to Liu Dong's words.
"Well, I bought them all! You don't know, I have an antique shop in Quancheng and I need a lot of antiques. Although these things I just saw are not popular items worth hundreds of thousands or millions, they are still some good things.
What’s rare is that they are well preserved and in very complete condition. Plus I still have some money and the price is cheap, so I bought them all!” (To be continued)
