The awkward dinner finally ended. False price reporting is so common in the business world. Everyone wants to get involved and get a piece of the pie. This kind of thing is normal. It's nothing more than asking for a high price and paying back the money.
.
It's just that Heima and I were scheming against each other, and at the same time we both wanted to be good guys, but there were some flaws in our methods. The piece of paper that was covering up the shame was slightly opened, which made the atmosphere awkward.
The reason why I bought this triangular ancient jade in the name of a customer is very simple. Merchants in the Antique City rarely trade hands with each other. Most of them help move bricks, or help merchants contact customers, or
It just helps customers find merchants and then collects some commission from the process.
If I buy it in my own name, Heima is not a fool, because everyone is a businessman. If you think about it from another perspective, if there is no considerable profit for an object, you will not invest a certain amount of money to get it. This kind of
Under such circumstances, Heima would definitely be suspicious.
It doesn't matter if he is suspicious, because the market price of this piece of ancient jade is very likely to be only more than 50,000 yuan, but I can't afford it here, so after he quoted a high price of 120,000 yuan, I didn't say much.
, the final transaction was made for 70,000 yuan in the name of the customer. The purpose was to get the thing as soon as possible to avoid long nights and nightmares.
The final result is quite good. The ancient jade will be mailed as quickly as possible. If there is no problem, I can get it before setting off with Shen Yuan. By then, I will have two pieces of triangular ancient jade in my hand.

In Brother Wenwan's shop, I was sitting opposite Lao Wu, drinking tea, while Shale was packing his things upstairs.
"well……"
Old Wu sighed and said, "Gao Le is a pretty good kid. He is honest and hard-working. I was also so quarreled by my wife that I had no choice but to let her brother come over."
I held the tea cup, took a sip, and said: "He can't stay with you forever, unless you marry your daughter to him, and let him be your son-in-law."
When Lao Wu heard what I said, he looked a little dissatisfied and said, "My daughter is only sixteen years old."
"Hundreds of years ago, you could get married and have children at the age of thirteen or fourteen."
I joked: "Today's kids, a lot of them fall in love at the age of sixteen. You need to change your stubborn thinking and keep pace with the times."
Old Wu rolled his eyes at me, not wanting to get entangled in this topic, and said, "Gao Le said you would take him out, but what about your store?"
"What else can I do? Let's serve it cold."
I said helplessly: "I don't know how many days I will be out this time, so I asked Sister Ping, Heima's wife, to look after my shop."
"she!"
Before I could finish speaking, Lao Wu sneered: "What does she know as a woman? The antique industry is so deep, you might as well just close the store if you ask her."
"There's nothing we can do!"
I said: "She only helps me guard the store and sells citrine jewelry. I plan to put away all the antiques in the store and reopen it when I come back."
Old Wu thought for a while and said, "In this case, it's better to let my shop sell it on consignment, and by the way, it can help my shop support the scene."
In fact, I have considered Lao Wu's idea, but the feasibility is very low. First, give him the lowest price, and the money earned can be divided into 37 or 28. But with this method, I am definitely worried about Lao Wu's false price.
, he obviously earned 10,000, but told me he only earned 5,000.
The second is that I quote my heart's price, and all the extra money goes to Lao Wu. For example, if I pay 30,000 for an object, my price is 40,000, and Lao Wu sells it for 45,000, both of us can make a profit, but this is
This method has another drawback.
Antiques are commodities, but they are different from ordinary commodities. If you want to buy a TV, but you think the one here is too expensive, you can go to other shopping malls to buy it. Most antiques are different. Take advantage of its scarcity and uniqueness to buy it in
A customer can make a lot of money from his hands. I paid 30,000 for that item, and the price in my mind is 40,000. If I meet a knowledgeable person, I might sell it for 40,000, but if
If you find someone who likes this object very much, it is difficult to buy it if you have money. In this case, I will probably ask for 80,000, or even 100,000, because it is not impossible for you to find similar objects except here.
, it will at least cost you a lot of time and energy. In this case, if I put it on consignment with others, I may miss the opportunity to make a lot of money.
Of course, there is a third method, which is to raise the base price yourself. For an item worth 30,000 yuan, I said it was 40,000 yuan, and then ask you to sell it on consignment. After the 40,000 yuan base price is removed, you will be divided into shares, but this method is not at all useful.
It’s not easy to use because everyone is working in the same place. Everyone has a rough estimate of how much your items cost, so it’s hard to fool them.
"What kind of consignment method?" I did not directly refuse Lao Wu.
"How about I pump two fingers?"
Lao Wu prefers the split method: "You also know that in the antique city over the years, I am well-known for my rules in doing business."
If you believe it, you will be a ghost. Apart from money, I sometimes don’t even believe in myself. When moving bricks, at least the buyer, the seller and the person who moves the bricks are all present, so it is more difficult to collude to do something evil. But once something is
I leave it here for consignment and I'm not here, so you can't do whatever you want with it.
"Let me think about it."
Seeing Sha Le packing his things and dragging his luggage down, I quickly stood up and said perfunctorily to Lao Wu: "I'll tell you when I think about it."
After walking out of Lao Wu's shop, I strode forward, feeling that Shale was not following me. I turned around and saw Shale staring blankly at the four signature characters of Brother Wenwan.
"If there's anything interesting to see, let's go!"
I didn't expect Shale to be so reluctant to let go
He said, "You will die if you move the tree, and you will live if you move the people. Even Old Wu doesn't want you anymore. You still want to retire here and get a lifetime achievement award."
Shale finally turned around and followed me to my shop.
"The conditions are difficult. My store is not as big as Lao Wu's."
I helped Sha Le put the luggage aside casually, and said: "So you can just make do with it for two days. You can tidy up this place in the evening, move the lounge chairs and everything to the side, and make a floor bunk by yourself, okay."
Shale nodded, "Okay."
Seeing the wretched look on Shale's face, I felt inexplicably angry and said, "Isn't it just a matter of changing jobs? Is this necessary? In this world, as long as you are willing to work, you are still afraid that you won't be able to survive! Look,
Look at yourself, you used to keep chattering for a long time, but now you don’t even fart."
After I settled down in Shale, I drove back to my rental house in the urban village. I hadn’t been here for several days.
When I was studying, I lived in my aunt's old house and lived with them. My aunt had a daughter, Wang Shasha, who is my cousin.
The old houses in the past basically had two bedrooms and one living room. My cousin and I were still young at that time, so we slept in the same room with her. Later, when I got to middle school, I became sensible and knew the difference between men and women, so I stayed in the school boarding house and went back to my aunt on weekends.
At home, I slept on the sofa in the living room. After I went to college, I simply rented a small one-bedroom apartment in a village in the city. The monthly rent was not expensive and it was convenient to live in.
After casually taking a shower, I turned on the air conditioner and fell directly on the bed.
I rested my head on my hands, looked at the ceiling, and carefully recalled and sorted out what happened during this period.
Shen Yuan and Chen Qiuhong, the relationship between them is just that they use each other and each gets what they need. In this relationship, it is obvious that Chen Qiuhong is the weaker party.
But what I don't understand is that Chen Qiuhong is so rich and has status. If Shen Yuan goes to Hubei to do something this time, through a person like Chen Qiuhong, he should get twice the result with half the effort, which is the best choice.
But Shen Yuan doesn't seem to want to see Chen Qiuhong. It doesn't matter if he doesn't want to see him. Why did Shen Yuan choose me, a person who wants nothing? I can't figure it out at all. Could it be that I am born with beauty, with thunder rolling above my head, and colorful glow on my body?
!Impossible, what use can I have to Shen Yuan!
In addition, what on earth is Shen Yuan going to do? A man always has his purpose when doing something, money! It should be impossible. It is very easy for Shen Yuan to want money. Quan! It makes no sense, he is not a national public official.
.Women! It is even more unrealistic. If you have money, you are still afraid of not having a woman.
In addition, why does Shen Yuan carry these weird and dangerous things such as Junshan Sword, Triangular Ancient Jade, Assault Rifle, and High Explosives? What use can they be used for?
The more I thought about it, the more confused my mind became. There were no clues or traces at all, and I could never let go.
