Eight hundred and seventieth chapters say we will do it
The fact that Hao Feifei said the wrong thing was just a small episode. Everyone was still interested and continued to appreciate the remaining antiques.
Gradually, someone picked the one they liked, and the one Hao Jun chose was intriguing. It was the Kangxi Heavenly Ball Vase that was the entrustment, and he said something that almost made Hao Feifei collapse.
"Feifei, Xue Chen and I bought this Heavenly Sphere Vase. We will give it to you later and put it in your room. Seeing this Heavenly Sphere Vase every day will remind you that you must consider everything comprehensively before doing anything and not act rashly.
, let alone casually get involved in areas you don’t understand to avoid falling into it." Hao Jun said loudly.
Really, if the person who said these words was not his father, Hao Feifei would have jumped up and cursed me long ago. He didn't think I was embarrassed enough? He bought it back and put it in front of me to remind me of today's events. Is he against me? Let me live.
Isn't it possible in today's shadow?
But my father always said what he said. What else could he say? He could only bite the bullet and say: "Dad, there's no need for this. I already understand what you're saying, so there's no need to buy this bottle."
Hao Jun waved his hand: "Even if it wasn't for what happened just now, I still like this bottle very much. I really don't have a collection of porcelain from the sustenance money, and it's also bodiless porcelain, which is rare and worth buying."
Hao Feifei had a dark face and said nothing.
Xue Chen and Wang Dong said a few words, and then Wang Dong went over and shouted loudly: "Hey, which one does everyone like, just use a pen to write your name on the label of the suitcase. Who will be the first?"
Whoever writes it will own the thing, and you can take it away after dinner."
As soon as they heard this, everyone immediately started looking for pens, and they were all a bit embarrassed to make a choice. Which one should I choose?
The more than fifty pieces of antiques are gradually becoming high-quality goods. If you throw them on the market, they will be bought in minutes. Everyone has taken a fancy to at least seven or eight pieces, or even a dozen pieces, but they can only buy one.
It's really hard to be a human being. I can only keep eliminating one after another, and only the one I like the most is left.
Soon, someone wrote their name on the label of the suitcase, and others were worried that their favorites would be signed first, and then it would be too late to regret it, so they no longer thought about it and picked up a pen to sign.
Demonstrate sovereignty.
Fortunately, the number is large enough. Even if this one is taken by someone else, there is another similar choice, so there will be no two people fighting for one. What's more, the people present are basically friends, even if they are not
Friends also look up but don't look down, there is no need to argue, that would be too disrespectful.
It took an hour, and basically everyone picked an item on the box and wrote their name.
Wang Fudude chose nothing else but the Xi Tzu teapot. After writing his name on the label, he turned around and walked a few steps over. He said with a smile: "Brother Xue, I remember you said we can give you whatever price you want?"
"
"That's it. If you look at it and think it's worth, just give it as much as you think it's worth." Xue Chen said.
"I think this Xi Tzu pot is worth at most one yuan." Wang Fude rubbed his fair chin.
"Ha, Brother Wang, yours is pretty good. It's worth a dollar, only a big dollar." Xue Chen returned.
"One big dollar?" Wang Fudou didn't understand clearly for a while.
"It's not much, it's only worth a big dollar, one Qin and a half liang. I like Brother Wang's Qin and a half liang very much. Why don't you use your 'One Yuan' to buy it?" Xue Chen said.
"Uh..." Wang Fudude scratched his head and realized that he had been tricked. It turned out that the big money he mentioned was copper coins, which is also big money, and it was not a secret that he had another piece of fine Qin Banliang, and there were a lot of them.
Everyone has played with it.
Qin Banliang, which was in very good condition, had been bought for two million five years ago. Now its value has at least quadrupled. If it were to be exchanged for this Xi Shi pot, he would really be at a loss.
Seeing that Wang Fude and Xue Chen were not joking, but Xue Chen made fun of them, everyone around them couldn't help but laugh.
At this time, the meat on the two barbecue grills was already fragrant. Everyone moved over and started eating directly in the warm spring breeze. The scene was joyful and full of laughter.
After tasting the tender and juicy barbecue, everyone said goodbye and returned to the venue with their black suitcases in contented hands. As for the price, neither party said much as they both knew what was going on.
After seeing off the waves of guests, the grass became deserted after a while.
"Xue Chen, I'm going back first. I took this Ruyi with me. It's just right to give it to my grandpa. I will call you the money later. As for the market price, I don't know very well, so I just gave it to you casually.
Don't mind if it's burned." Ning Xuanxuan stuffed a black suitcase into the car, turned around and said coquettishly.
"Okay, if you give me too much, then think of it as a reward for me. If you give me less, then think of it as a reflection of my feelings for Grandpa Ning." Xue Chen said nonchalantly.
After tidying up the mess of cutlery and other cups and plates, several people from the splendid kitchen left. Xue Chen went back and carried the remaining black leather suitcase back to the storage room.
There are now thirty-three pieces left out of the fifty-five, which is still not a small amount. It is more than enough to open an antique branch.
In the evening of the same day, another truck came and took away the long table that Qi Hu had obtained from nowhere. At this point, everything was settled.
Similarly, in the evening, Xue Chen's cell phone started to ring non-stop, once or twice every half hour. It was a receipt text message from the bank, reminding him of changes in his balance.
All of them were sums of money transferred into his account one after another, ranging from around one to two million to as much as seven to eight million.
The money for selling the chicken blood stone aniseed at the auction has already come down. After deducting the commission, there is still almost 35 million. He and Wang Dong each have half, 18 million each, leaving a balance of 18 million in the bank.
It has risen a bit, reaching one billion to twenty million.
Until the afternoon of the next day, I finally received no more text messages for remittance, and the number of text messages was not too much, exactly twenty-two, and the total amount added up to 80 million, so the balance arrived directly.
1.1 billion.
He estimated that the total value of the fifty-five antiques was around 160 million. However, 22 pieces were taken away yesterday, but they received 80 million, which is exactly half of the estimated value. This shows that the 22 pieces that were taken away were
They are all of higher value, and what’s more, the price everyone gave him did not take advantage of him, it was a normal price.
But in fact, buying an antique from Xue Chen at a normal market price can already be said to be a profit.
Why?
There is a saying that is often said, gold in troubled times is worth antiques in prosperous times. Although it is a saying that everyone knows, it is indeed an irrefutable truth.
Today, it can be said without a doubt that it is a prosperous era of rapid economic development. There is too much hot money looking for good investment projects. These capitals speculate in real estate, garlic, and all kinds of things that can be speculated to make profits.
Antiques are one of the most popular types of speculation among capital, and they are no less profitable than real estate speculation. The prices of some popular collection types are rising by 20 to 30% every year. As long as you buy them, you will make money!
These are basically popular collectible antiques in Xue Chen's hands. After a careful selection, he picked the best ones and bought them at the market price of 2 million today and 250 next year.
One hundred thousand can be easily sold!
Many of the antiques taken away today are completely in a seller's market. It is very difficult to buy them. They usually need to be purchased at a premium, so if you can buy them at a normal price, you will make a profit!
And this incident that happened by the lotus pond naturally spread in the antique circles of Haicheng City, and even people in the antique circles of other cities heard about it.
After hearing this, more people sighed and were secretly depressed, why don't they have such powerful friends around them?
Many people in the Haicheng City antique circle know one thing. At the beginning of the year, Zhuo Zhuo Antique Store obtained a batch of very good quality soapstones and sold them at a discount to some regular customers, which really made many people envious.
But not two months later, now I have a private party. Dozens of antiques can be picked at random. Prices are given at random. After hearing this from other people's mouths, I can't help but sigh, such a person is worth getting to know.
, for a time, the name Xue Chen became more profound in the hearts of many people.
And Xue Chen is not idle either. Since he has decided to open a store, there is no need to hold back, let’s just do it!
This time, no one else has bought shares. He plans to run the branch alone. The reason is very simple. This branch is opened in Beijing, thousands of miles away from Haicheng City. He is not familiar with the place. Can the branch be opened in the capital?
It is still unknown whether the Imperial City will be able to survive. It would be fine if it succeeds, but what if it loses?
Even if this time is a test of the water, if it succeeds, there will be a fifth and sixth branch in the future. It will not be too late for everyone to work together.
When he told Wang Dong about this matter, Wang Dong had no objection.
When opening an antique store, the first thing to do is to choose a suitable store. It can be said that whether a store is suitable or not is closely related to the rise and fall of the antique store and is the top priority.
The addresses of the branches in Yang'an and Sunan are very good. One is opposite the Provincial Museum, and the other is the busiest commercial street in Sunan City.
Xue Chen bought a plane ticket for the next day to go to the capital, planning to explore the road first to see if he could find a suitable shop.
Before leaving, he called his old friend Gao Dewei and told him that he was going to the capital. On the phone, Gao Dewei expressed his welcome happily.
"Brother Xue, it has been more than a month since we parted ways in Xiangjiang. My brother is thinking about you very much."
Listening to Gao Dewei's eloquent words, Xue Chen couldn't help but smile, and threw the prepared clothes and some things that needed to be carried into the Yutong space, which was very convenient. (To be continued)
