Chapter 180 Zhong Haoqing's Arrangement
Hearing that a customer was coming, Wang Na quickly got up and cleaned up the reception room. Fang Ting had already brought the customer up there. 1?
The client is an old man with a silver head that is not messy and his body is dressed very carefully. He is just a little listless. But he can understand it by thinking about it. It is not that there is something difficult to encounter, who will be a thing?
This old man wanted to be a turquoise powdered powdered Wuzi Dengkezou. This is also a rare thing and has a very unique shape.
Bottles were popular in the Shang and Zhou dynasties and were a large and medium-sized wine container in ancient China. It had a long neck and an open mouth. It was mostly ring feet with round or square belly, and its diameter was relatively large. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, it was an important ritual instrument, because it was used different occasions and rituals, so it had a variety of shapes.
During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, most of the bottles were made of pottery and copper, and when it came to the descendants, they became porcelain-quality products.
This Wuzi Dengke bottle is a turquoise square bottle. The overall look is like two square bottles with a belly-closing bottoms opposite to the bottom. The bottle is painted with white lace patterns drawn with powdered powder technology. The most peculiar thing is that there are five knitted children under the bottle.
These five children were all wearing purple clothes, with vivid expressions and different postures, and were very realistic. At first glance, they were made by master craftsmen.
The bottom of the bottle is a six-character design with blue and white double rows, made in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
The entire square bottle has a regular and rigorous shape, the turquoise glaze color is thick and steady, and the pulverization process is skillfully used. It is obvious that it is a treasure with a wide open door.
After reading the things, Li Yi greeted Wang Na and asked her to call Wang Dachuan as soon as possible. Because judging from the appearance of this thing, the starting price for the auction is probably 2 million yuan. Whether such a valuable thing can be collected or not, how much it can be collected is not something that he, an appraiser who has only been working for a few days, can decide.
After the arrangement was made, Li Yi started chatting with the old man, and he wanted to learn about the inheritance of this thing.
After talking, I realized that not only the things, but also the origin of this old man is quite extraordinary.
The old man's father once participated in the Northern Expedition launched by the National Revolutionary Army. He served as a battalion-level and regiment-level officer of a certain department of the National Party Army in the late War of Resistance Against Japan. In the late period of the Liberation War, he was even held on Baodao as a major general. This thing was a gift from the old man he gave to the old man when he visited his relatives by his son Da6, who was born on Baodao.
"They were defeated too quickly at that time. We entered the city before we evacuated the People's Liberation Army in the county. Unexpectedly, this farewell turned out to be a farewell! Ten years ago, the government found us and said that relatives from Youbaodao had been looking for us. After meeting, they found out that the old man was getting married and had a child. This thing was given to me by my half-brother."
Speaking of the past, the old man looked emotional.
"Now my grandson is going to start a business. He lacks funds. I'll find it and find it at home. I can't do it, so I'll be a good deal."
The old man gently stroked the porcelain jar, looking reluctant. Although this thing was given by his brother with water, he now doesn't care about anything for his precious grandson.
Li Yi accompanied the old man to sigh for a while and tried to ask,
"Old man, can I ask? How much money is missing from your grandson?"
The old man shook his head and stretched out his two fingers.
“2oo thousand!”
When Li Yi heard that the old man had no more or less than 20,000 yuan, he smiled. He was really prepared! If he thought about it well, he was afraid that he would suffer losses. He had found someone to see it first. If he thought about it sideways, he would be in vain. This is not the family affection bottle of the treasure island. This is clearly a story of fooling people!
Whether he wants to believe it or not, 90% of the things may be the result he thinks about it.
Li Yi has heard others tell many stories he encountered during the process of collecting treasures, but this is the first time he has told him stories in person. He couldn't help but savor it carefully in his heart. Hey, it's really interesting.
However, no matter whether the story is true or not, you must be regarded as a guest of honor. This is the golden rule of receiving goods in the antiques. As for the price, it depends on your own level.
Not long after, Wang Dachuan rushed to the store. He called Li Yi out to find out the situation, and then pushed open the door of the reception room with a smile on his face.
After a few greetings, after seeing the things, Wang Dachuan thought about it for a while and said:
"Mr. Wang, things are indeed good things, but the price you mentioned is a bit high. According to our evaluation, the amount of money that can be pawned by this bottle is only 1.5 million yuan."
When Mr. Wang heard this, he frowned.
"I'm not hiding this, brother, I have also asked my friend to see this thing. The estimated price is about 20,000 yuan, your price is now."
The two of them went back and forth, and finally talked about 18o Wan and reached an agreement.
After seeing off Mr. Wang, Wang Dachuan taught Li Yi another lesson.
"We pawn things, not only do we have to look at things, but also people. The old man just now looked more particular, and from his feelings for this square jar, he should be among us. I don't know if you noticed it. He said he had asked a friend to see it, and it was almost 20,000 yuan. What does this mean?"
Li Yi smiled. This verbal word is really interesting.
"It means that this old man not only plays with collecting himself, but also has a lot of friends around him, and his level is not low."
"That's right, this is called pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud! If you think about it further, the old man is not young, right? His behavior today means that his juniors probably don't value these things very much. So, if there is one day, you may wait for a day of collecting and processing, and each one is like this, and customer resources are accumulated in this way. Boy, there are still many things to learn. Don't worry, you are still young, take your time."
Li Yi couldn't help but feel sorry for hearing this. This store manager Wang is worthy of being a store manager. Anyone who can just meet can directly push him to the other person's affairs after he meets him. But don't say it, this statement really makes sense.
After get off work, Li Yi received a call from Zhong Haoqing, asking him to go to his house for dinner and asked him how he felt after working for a week.
"There is nothing else, it's just too idle, and it doesn't seem like I thought. How can I say that I can see a lot of things, anyway."
Although hesitated, Zhong Haoqing still understood what he meant. This kid stayed in the warehouse when he thought he was fine!
"You are different from them. I'm not ready to kill you in the store. Let's do this, I'll say hello to Xiao Wang and ask him to give you a key to the warehouse. There are a few more things I want to discuss with you. You can see your time. If you don't have any conflicts, it's better to go and see the world."
See the world? So there is something good to see?
"March and April are the peak season for auctions. Most auction companies' spring auctions will be concentrated in these two months. I heard from Lao Hu that you have something to go to Sotheby's Hong Kong Spring Auction. We also have to arrange people to study here. You can go there with them after that time."
Li Yi nodded repeatedly when he heard this. He had received an invitation from Sotheby's. With the invitation, Sotheby's spring auction catalogue was also invited. It was really a gathering of treasures and the finest products were as high as the sea. He had wanted to go over and take a look, but it was still early, so he never mentioned it.
"After Sotheby's Spring Auction, it will be a Myanmar public auction. You know that we also have a jewelry company that mainly engages in jade. Although you are the major shareholder of Jingcui Liangyuan, this time I hope you can stand on our side and help me bet on two top-quality materials."
Li Yi was stunned. She knew everything about this?
"Haha, since the Yangnan Jewelry Exhibition, you have entered the sight of senior executives of major jewelry companies. However, after that, you have not made any noise. They all thought you were just a flash in the pan, so no one harassed you. Unexpectedly, when you arrived in Yanjing, you were shocked by everyone, but before they could do it, you were tied to his chariot by Wang Haoqing. This kid, this advantage is great enough! But this time, it's time to give others some soup, right?"
Li Yi scratched his head with a little embarrassed and couldn't say this. If he told his master that he could only understand the window materials and was not 100% sure, the master designated him to think that he was ruling and there was no way, so he would act according to the opportunity.
"I know this requirement makes you very embarrassed, but you also understand the current jade market. Ordinary materials don't matter, but those top-quality glass types have always been hard to find. If a jewelry company that mainly sells jade well, it must rely on a large number of top-level jewelry to consolidate and open up high-quality customer resources. Although Zhong's Jewelry has a mine in Myanmar, it has not produced any top-level materials there for two years, so it is under great pressure now."
"I won't make you too embarrassed. I think so. At that time, you will still participate in the public market as a private person, but we, Zhong, have the right to acquire the materials you have. What do you think?"
What else can you do? You keep saying everything to this level, can I still make a big mistake? Fortunately, I didn’t agree to Wang Haoqing in advance, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with this time.
When Zhong Haoqing saw Li Yi nodding, she couldn't help but laugh and shook her head. To be honest, the unified view of Li Yi's gambling stones is not top-notch. However, when it comes to this kid's luck, if he doesn't look at the jade he bet on, just look at the paintings he took to ask them to help identify, it's simply a matter of comparison and death!
"The collection of items for the spring auction in Yintong is almost done. I'll see if I can arrange it at that time and let you take a look first. Although there are not many fine products this time, the overall level is relatively average. In addition, you can also go to Hong Kong a few days in advance and take a look at the preview first."
