"Teacher Liu, I wonder what the market valuation is for this set of jade articles?"
Qin Feng's casual question made Nie Tianbao suddenly nervous. The agreement between them was just a verbal agreement. If Qin Feng wanted to go back on it, Nie Tianbao would have no choice but to do so.
"Tang jade is relatively rare among ancient jade, and there are even fewer ancient jade handed down from ancient times that are in such good condition."
Looking at the twelve zodiac jades of different shapes in the brocade box, President Liu pondered for a moment and said: "Things are rare and valuable. This set of jades has never been seen before, and there is no historical record. It has no academic records related to the Tang Dynasty.
The research value is extremely high...
In addition, these jade articles should come from a whole piece of jade, and it is Hetian jade. The quality is very high. What is even more rare is that each piece of zodiac jade has a clear color, which has not damaged the jade itself, which adds a lot of points.
.
The third point is that this is a complete set of jade articles, which is even more precious than an isolated piece. If one piece is missing, the value will be greatly reduced, but as a set, the value will be doubled..."
Both Qin Feng and Nie Tianbao can understand President Liu's words. The first two are based on the history and material of ancient jade. As for the third, they are in response to the saying that rare things are valuable.
.
The so-called orphan item in the antique shop means the only one in the world. There is absolutely no second item that is the same as this one. The price of an orphan item is often several times more expensive than many circulated items.
Even dozens of times.
There is a notorious antique dealer on Hong Kong Island. A few years ago, he participated in an auction of Chinese art in London. In that auction, the most precious item was a pair of olive vases with blue and white ladies from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.
As the name suggests, olive bottles generally have a bulging belly, a long neck, a luxurious mouth and a round foot, and a tall and straight shape. This pair of olive bottles is even more dignified. Its glaze is smooth and the texture is white, which is a typical "glutinous rice body, loach back"
”.
In the picture painted on the bottle, a woman stretches her arms and dances. Her pink face is full of spring, and two women are waiting on the left and right, hiding their faces and smiling. The blue and white hair is elegant and layered, and the painter is experienced.
After appraisal by the auction house, this pair of olive vases with Kangxi blue and white ladies is the only two in the world, so it is extremely precious. The starting price is as high as 500,000 pounds.
You know, four or five years ago, except for Tang Sancai, no other Chinese art ceramics could fetch such a high price abroad. At that time, this pair of olive bottles attracted a lot of attention.
After some bidding, the olive bottle was finally bought by an antique dealer from Hong Kong Island for a sky-high price of three million pounds. After the payment, the reporter interviewed him and asked him if it was because it was a unique pair of porcelain that he paid such a high price.
?
But what everyone didn't expect was that the antique dealer actually picked up one of the olive bottles and threw it to the ground so hard that it was so broken that it was beyond repair.
Just when everyone was stunned, the antique dealer said proudly that he bought this pair of porcelains with the purpose of making them orphans. The price of such porcelains was far higher than a pair.
Facts have proved that the antique dealer was right. At an auction on Hong Kong Island a year later, the only olive bottle left in the world was sold for a high price of 8 million pounds, which once set a new record.
Auction records of Qing Dynasty porcelain.
This antique dealer's behavior of raising prices by damaging cultural relics is not worth advocating, but this incident also illustrates the importance of orphan products and the market value that exceeds the same category of objects.
In the same way, each piece of this set of twelve zodiac jades is a unique piece, because the shapes are different and none of them are repeated. The twelve unique pieces are combined into a set, so they are favored by Chairman Liu.
so highly regarded.
"Teacher Liu, you haven't told me how much this... this thing is worth?" Qin Feng and Nie Tianbao both understand the truth since they are both in the industry, but they are also more concerned about the market price of this jade.
"If I were to sell them individually, I would bid around 300,000 for the dragon, tiger, monkey, and ox, and the rest would be between 100,000 and 200,000..."
Looking at the jades in the brocade box, President Liu said: "But as a set, the price of this set of jades is at least three million. I can't afford it, old man, so I can only give this estimate!"
"More than three million?"
After hearing this, Qin Feng looked at Nie Tianbao, who looked nervous, and laughed secretly in his heart. Hearing President Liu's words, he probably was afraid that he would not sell it.
"Brother Qin, we...we agreed before."
Nie Tianbao grimaced. He did not expect that President Liu would estimate such a price, so the high price he originally gave was only the same as the market price. This suddenly made Nie Tianbao feel a little bit paralyzed.
"This set of jade is not yours?"
President Liu heard the meaning of Nie Tianbao's words and couldn't help but look at Qin Feng in surprise. Such a precious jade actually belonged to this young man.
Nie Tianbao was afraid that Qin Feng would change his mind again, so he quickly said: "It's not mine yet, but Brother Qin and I have reached an agreement. He will transfer it to me for three million."
"The price of three million is not low, but if it is kept for a few years, the price of this jade set will increase significantly."
President Liu looked at Qin Feng as he spoke and asked casually: "I don't know where you got this set of jade articles? Is it inherited from the family?"
President Liu didn't mean anything else when he asked this, he was just curious. After all, this set of jade articles is an ancient jade handed down from ancient times, and it has gone through at least 180 years of hard work. It will definitely not be obtained by Qin Feng's generation.
.
"Haha, Mr. Liu, it's just inherited from the family." Qin Feng smiled and answered lightly. He couldn't tell President Liu that this set of objects was made by himself, right?
"President Liu, Xiao Qin is great. He is Mr. Qi's disciple."
In order to prevent Qin Feng from changing his words, Nie Tianbao flattered him from the sidelines. These words also have another meaning, that is, Mr. Qi's disciples will never fail to keep their words, right?
"Oh, teacher's disciple?"
President Liu laughed when he heard this and said, "Your name is Qin Feng, right? Then we are really not outsiders anymore. When I went to see the teacher some time ago, he always talked about you."
"I haven't started following the teacher yet. I need to take care of Senior Brother Liu in the future." Qin Feng saluted President Liu, which was regarded as recognizing this Senior Brother.
"The teacher is very optimistic about you."
President Liu smiled, reached out and picked up the envelope on the table, threw it to Qin Feng and said: "Xiao Qin. I can't accept this money, you should take it back."
President Liu and Nie Tianbao had no friendship or contact, so it was only natural for him to receive money to appraise the items. However, with Qin Feng's relationship, he immediately returned the money.
Qin Feng now understands what it means to rest against a big tree to enjoy the shade. Qi Gong is indeed a figure like Mount Tai and Beidou in the antique shop. When he goes out for appraisals, he can actually meet his fellow apprentices, and it is also very affordable. Even the appraisal fee is
Omitted.
Of course, Qin Feng couldn't let President Liu suffer. He immediately put the money on the table and said, "Senior brother, if I bring the item for appraisal, you don't have to accept the money, but this is Boss Nie's business.
, you won’t feel at ease if you don’t accept Boss Nie.”
Face is given by people, even if he is a fellow disciple, Qin Feng cannot block people's way of making money.
As soon as he said these words, President Liu's eyes suddenly showed a look of admiration. If you want to get involved in the antique business, you need someone like Qin Feng who is smart and discerning.
"Yes. Yes, President Liu. You must accept this appraisal fee!"
Nie Tianbao was eager for President Liu to accept the money at this time, because he paid for it. After President Liu accepted it, Qin Feng had to fulfill their previous agreement. Otherwise, why would Nie help Qin Feng’s appraisal in vain?
Jade? There is a connection between the two.
"Okay. Since you said that, I won't be polite."
President Liu nodded, looked at Qin Feng and said: "Xiao Qin, it's your first time here, don't leave at night. I'll ask the old lady to cook some dishes later, and we two brothers will have a drink!"
This is the benefit of Qin Fenghui's life. If Qin Feng had taken the money smoothly before, I am afraid that because of the relationship between senior brothers, President Liu would not have allowed him to eat.
"Senior Brother Liu, I really can't do it today."
Qin Feng looked at his watch and saw that it was already half past seven. There was still half an hour before the appointment time. He smiled bitterly and said, "I made an appointment with you at eight o'clock. Senior Brother Liu, I'll bring you some good wine later."
Do you think it's feasible to apologize?"
"Okay, senior brother, just drink well and remember what you said." President Liu laughed when he heard this. After Qin Feng put away the brocade box, he stood up and personally sent the two of them downstairs.
Nie Tianbao was envious of this treatment. He also increasingly realized the importance of this relationship and connections. He decided in his heart that he must make good friends with Qin Feng so as to break into the circle of antique shops in the capital.
After the car drove away from the community where President Liu lived, Nie Tianbao said, "Brother Qin, I heard what President Liu said. Brother, please tell me a charter. Do you think it's okay?"
"Oh? Brother Nie, tell me."
Qin Feng pretended to be confused and didn't mention the transaction after getting in the car. Anyway, he was stabbed on both sides, so he didn't mind if the stabbing was more severe.
Of course, Qin Feng prides himself on being a kind person, so... Boss Nie still needs to come up with it himself.
Nie Tianbao gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Qin, your brother Nie is a cheerful person. On top of the three million, I will give you an additional five hundred thousand. What do you think?"
Although his family has a lot of money, Nie Tianbao doesn't have much working capital. He originally planned to sell 5 million for the Yazhi store, but now he has lost 3.5 million at once. Nie Tianbao's money is no longer enough.
.
However, this set of jade articles is a rare item that can only be found, so Nie Tianbao planned to mortgage some real estate to the bank for a loan to pay for the store, and he had to get this set of jade articles first.
"Hey, Brother Nie, what are you talking about?"
Qin Feng seemed to be stunned by what Nie Tianbao said, and said anxiously: "Brother Nie, I didn't mean that. Didn't we agree on three million?"
"Damn, you are such a little fox, no wonder Qi Gong takes a liking to you."
Nie Tianbao, who was driving the car, took one look at Qin Feng's face and cursed in his heart. Qin Feng said he was embarrassed, clearly agreeing with what he said.
"Brother Qin, what I said is that I can't see you clearly, Brother Nie. Can I still take advantage of you, brother?"
Nie Tianbao waved his right hand pretending to be bold and said: "That's it. I'll send you the five hundred thousand tomorrow morning. What do you think, brother?"
Now that he has decided to befriend Qin Feng, Nie Tianbao really doesn't care about the 500,000 yuan. If Qin Feng can open up the antique and jade shop in the capital, it will not be exchanged for 500,000 yuan.
"Okay, brother Nie, you are so relieved. I accept your love."
Qin Feng was not polite, put the brocade box on Nie Tianbao's lap, and said: "Brother Nie, I will give this item to you first, and you can send it to me if you have time for the five hundred thousand."
"Hey, no, I'm driving the car."
Seeing Qin Feng's action, Nie Tianbao was surprised and happy. He quickly stopped the car on the side of the road and carefully placed the brocade box under the seat of the back seat of the car. Even so, he still felt it was not safe, so he took it off again.
The jacket covered the brocade box.
"Brother Qin, please take the three million first. Don't worry, the five hundred thousand will be sent to you tomorrow."
Nie Tianbao, who got this set of jade articles, was really elated.
After working in the antique business for so many years, he finally found a set of jade articles that could be regarded as the treasure of his shop. After returning to the stone market, Nie Tianbao felt that he could avoid the shame of being deceived a few years ago.
Looking at Nie Tianbao with a smile on his face, Qin Feng also had a smile on his face, because while getting the three million, Qin Feng also thought about how to drive Nie Tianbao out of the capital.
Last time, he left two pieces of fake jadeite to Boss Nie, but this time Qin Feng asked Nie Tianbao to fetch water from a bamboo basket... but it was all in vain. (To be continued...)
