Chapter 351 Lotus Lantern

Qin Feng thought for a moment and said: "Boss Dou, you still want a bunch of brothers! Let's raise it at 20%."

Qin Feng's psychological price for this set of jade articles is three million, and Dou Jianjun's price of seven million is already nearly twice as high. This is the way to do business if everyone makes money, and Qin Feng is not a solitary person.

"Well, let me thank Boss Qin on behalf of the brothers."

Dou Jianjun thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. His expenses were indeed not small. If he only did two or three businesses a year, a 10% withdrawal would not be enough to maintain the expenses.

However, if Qin Feng's business can continue in the long term, Dou Jianjun is going to let go of some of his subordinates and open an art company on Hong Kong Island to specialize in Qin Feng's goods.

After carefully putting the jade set into the box, Dou Jianjun raised his head and said, "Boss Qin, I'll give you a receipt. What do you think?"

In this business, Dou Jianjun originally bought things at low prices from domestic cultural relic dealers or tomb robbers, and then smuggled them to Hong Kong Island or abroad, earning high profits from them.

However, the value of this set of jade articles was so high that Dou Jianjun could not afford that much money at the moment, so he could only sell the items on behalf of others and then settle with Qin Feng.

"Okay, just do as Boss Dou says."

Qin Feng nodded. He was not afraid that Dou Jianjun would have any evil intentions. Unless the other party no longer wanted to live in the country, he would definitely not sacrifice his foundation in the country for these millions.

Taking the pen and paper from Qin Feng, Dou Jianjun typed a receipt, which was written very simply. It was nothing more than receiving a set of jade articles with twelve zodiac signs from Qin Feng. There were no extra words.

In fact, it’s not that Dou Jianjun has never done anything illegal, but after seeing Qin Feng’s strength during this trip to the capital, Dou Jianjun didn’t even have the slightest intention of attacking Qin Feng. People in their line of work

, Money is certainly important, but life is even more important.

After typing up the receipt and handing it to Qin Feng, Dou Jianjun stood up and said, "Boss Qin, I am not going back to the capital. I will go directly to Jintian Airport in a while."

This was the first time for both parties to cooperate. Qin Feng was very generous and handed the jade to him directly without asking for any collateral. Dou Jianjun also wanted to show his strength and sell this set of jade as soon as possible.

Some time ago, a well-known collector from Hong Kong Island once said that he wanted to buy a piece of ancient jade with a certain age, but Dou Jianjun has never found a suitable one. Now this set of jade can just come in handy.

"Well, the future is long, Boss Dou, I won't keep you here."

Qin Feng nodded, stood up and said, "Let me take you to the airport. There are fewer flights to Tianjin than to Beijing. I don't know if there are direct flights to Shantou."

"no, I'm fine……"

Dou Jianjun waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Boss Qin, you are busy with your business. The three of us can just take a taxi there. If there is no flight from Shantou City, it will be the same if I take the bus to Yangcheng and then transfer..."

To say that Dou Jianjun was really not willing to let Qin Feng take him there, it was because the van Qin Feng drove was too old. It was a high-speed road from Beijing to Jintian. Sitting in it felt like he was being massaged, and his body was almost jolted.

opened.

"Brother Feng, are you done? There's something going on here." Just as Qin Feng was about to send Dou Jianjun out, Leng Xiongfei's voice suddenly rang out at the door.

"What's up?"

Qin Feng walked out and found Leng Xiongfei standing at the door of the store talking to a middle-aged man, while Li Tianyuan posted the announcement he had just written outside the store.

"Boss Qin, it seems that someone is coming to sell things." Expert Wu, who came out to wait for Dou Jianjun, smiled and said, "Those who are celebrating the New Year want to make some money to celebrate the New Year."

"Brother Feng, Mr. Wu is right." Leng Xiongfei turned around and said, "This elder brother has an item for sale. Do you think... should we accept it or not?"

Qin Feng once gave Leng Xiongfei authority. If someone comes to sell antiques, he can make the decision to buy anything less than three thousand yuan. If it exceeds three thousand yuan, he must tell Qin Feng.

During this period, Leng Xiongfei also collected several ancient inkstones. Qin Feng saw them when he came back some time ago. Two of the three ancient inkstones were fake and one was genuine. However, he did not lose any money and could even out.

After receiving three items, two of them were fake. Leng Xiongfei was also very embarrassed, so if Qin Feng hadn't been in the store today, he would have driven away the person who came to sell things.

"Seller?" Qin Feng glanced at the middle-aged man blocked by Leng Xiongfei outside the door, and his heart moved slightly.

This middle-aged man is not very tall, he looks a little thin, and his hair is disheveled, as if he hasn't showered in a few days. More importantly, Qin Feng can smell the smell from that person even though he is four or five meters away.

Earthy taste.

"Boss Qin, this guy is a knock-down guy..." Dou Jianjun, who was following Qin Feng, usually dealt with tomb robbers from all over the most, and he could tell the identity of the person at a glance.

"We're open for business, whether it's buying or selling, we're all customers."

Qin Feng laughed when he heard this and said, tomb robbing is a branch of the Outer Eight Sects. Qin Feng originally used the proceeds from tomb robbing to prop up this antique shop, so he and this person can be regarded as peers.

"What Boss Qin said is that all the good things are in the hands of people like them."

Dou Jianjun also laughed. Qin Feng's words were very suitable for his temper. It was much more comfortable to get along with Qin Feng than those sanctimonious old scholars.

"Brother, come in and sit down." Qin Feng gestured to Leng Xiongfei, let the man into the room, and asked, "What do you call this eldest brother?"

"My surname is Sun, just call me Lao Sun." The middle-aged man spoke Lu provincial dialect, his eyes constantly looking behind Dou Jianjun, others and himself, with a posture that seemed ready to escape at any time.

"Old Sun, then I won't be polite."

Qin Feng laughed when he heard this and said, "What do you want to sell? Take it out and have a look. I'll give you an explanation of whether it's good or bad. What do you think?"

"Sure, this is what I'm selling, how much is it worth?" Old Sun nodded, opened a green leather school bag hanging on his waist, and took out a rusty object from it.

"Lotus lantern?" Seeing this thing, Qin Feng and Dou Jianjun called out its name at the same time.

Qin Feng and Dou Jianjun looked at each other and said, "Old Sun, this thing is incomplete, you can take it all out. It's a pity that this object..."

The bronze object that Lao Sun took out was, to be precise, the base of a lotus lamp. It was about twenty centimeters in diameter and in the shape of a lotus petal. It was stained with a lot of soil and obviously came from the pit.

The so-called raw pit is a thing that was just unearthed. However, what makes Qin Feng a little regretful is that the place where the base of this lotus lamp connects to the branch of the lamp is not movable, but was broken off by someone.

"The boss has good taste, and he also has other things." There was a hint of embarrassment in Lao Sun's eyes, and he reached into his bag and took out five more things.

"Boss Dou, what do you think of the trunk and legs of the lamp branch and the lamp plate?" Looking at the things that Old Sun took out, Qin Feng shook his head, holding back a burst of anger in his heart. He had broken such a good object into pieces.

To be completely honest, this should be a bronze lamp in the shape of a lotus branch.

The lamp is about forty centimeters high. You can see that there are four branches of different lengths on a main trunk, which hold four lotus-shaped lamp holders and a lamp plate. The four lotus lamp holders all have exquisite patterns.

It's just that this shape was put together by Qin Feng in his mind after seeing these objects. In fact, this lotus branch-shaped bronze lamp had been torn into pieces by the old Sun in front of him.

"What a pity. This thing is not big, so why did you just take it apart?"

Dou Jianjun was even angrier than Qin Feng, and he directly reprimanded him. He was engaged in the business of smuggling cultural relics, and he had very high requirements for the quality and integrity of the objects.

For a period of time, Dou Jianjun specially hired cultural relic experts to provide training to the tomb robbers who cooperated with him, just to ensure that those who took out the objects from the tombs kept the objects as intact as possible.

"This...there are too many branches, so...it's hard to take them out."

Lao Sun was startled by Dou Jianjun. He knew that his craftsmanship was relatively advanced, but he couldn't explain it. At that time, the hole made by the thieves was too small. If the branches of the lotus lantern were not broken, it would be impossible to take it out.

"Then you can't act recklessly."

Dou Jianjun looked at the fracture with hatred, shook his head and said: "Boss Qin, this thing is useless. Even if it is connected, it will leave traces and it is not worth much."

When it comes to pricing these unearthed cultural relics, Dou Jianjun can definitely be regarded as an authoritative figure in the country. This lotus lamp is very beautiful. If it were complete, it could be sold for about 200,000 yuan, but now I am afraid that it will not even cost 20,000 yuan.

Not worth it anymore.

Dou Jianjun looked down upon such objects. The sale of unearthed bronzes was expressly prohibited by the state, so the risks were high and the profits were low. Unless an overseas boss specifically wanted it, there were very few cultural relics of this type among the cultural relics he smuggled.

of objects.

"Hey, boss, just give me some money. You see, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and we have to go home."

Hearing Dou Jianjun's words, Lao Sun immediately became anxious. He was really not a professional tomb robber, but worked in Jintian. He didn't make much money during the Chinese New Year, so he called his nephew and went to work in Hebei Province.

Such a job has been done in the suburbs.

"It's not worth much." Qin Feng nodded, looked at Lao Sun, and asked: "Old Sun, besides this thing, did you take out anything else?"

Lao Sun shook his head in frustration and said, "It's gone. It's all been dug out. I dug this thing out of the soil."

The tomb that would allow a half-hearted tomb robber like Lao Sun to rob it has already been riddled with holes.

Lao Sun is lucky, but he is not very professional. Otherwise, if this lamp was more complete, even if Qin Feng lowered the price, he could still make thirty to forty thousand yuan.

Qin Fengzhong held out three fingers and said: "Three thousand yuan, Old Sun, this price is probably the highest in the antique street, right?"

"Boss, how about... you add more?" Lao Sun licked his lips, feeling a little unwilling.

Qin Feng shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, it's just three thousand. Do you want to sell it or not?"

"Sell it, I'll sell it!" Seeing that Qin Feng was a little annoyed, Lao Sun said quickly: "Just do what you say, boss. Can't I sell it?"

Lao Sun has been wandering around the antique street for a day. Others have also offered bids, but most of them are five hundred thousand. To say that the price given by Qin Feng is really the highest.

"Feizi, get him three thousand yuan." Qin Feng turned his head and shouted.

"Brother Feng, the store really has no money..."

Leng Xiongfei had a bitter look on his face when he heard this. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and most of the things in the store cannot be taken out. He deposited all the money in the safe into the bank yesterday, leaving only

Pay a few hundred dollars in change.

"Boss Qin, I don't have any cash on hand, otherwise I would have put it in advance for you."

Dou Jianjun patted his pocket and said, "Is there a bank near you? I just need to withdraw some money, let's go there."

"Okay, Feizi, close the door." Qin Feng nodded and said to Old Sun: "Old Sun, you put your things away first, sit here and drink some water and wait for a while. I will withdraw the money and come back."

"Okay, okay, I'll wait here." Lao Sun put the lotus lantern on the counter into his bag and sat down with his butt half touching the bench.
