Chapter 017 Bid Three Million
Later, Gu Qing asked an acquaintance to help take care of the antique stall, and she had to take He Qing to "Jianbaozhai" to see things.
After a while, Gu Qing took He Qing to the largest antique shop in the local area - "Jianbaozhai".
When the two of them hurriedly walked in, they saw that there was one more person in the store besides Lin Haitao and Uncle Long.
It was an old man, who was about sixty years old, with gray hair, but in good spirits, and was sitting there discussing something with Uncle Long.
"That's Mr. Deng." Gu Qing pointed to the old man and whispered, "He is the shopkeeper of our store, a very low-key appraiser, but he is better than ordinary experts. Uncle Long can find the correct answers in him if he has anything to eat. Usually he doesn't come to the antique shop very much, and rarely shows things to others - these are what Haitao told me."
After hearing what Gu Qing said, He Qing only felt that the old man was very mysterious. As the saying goes, "A real person does not reveal his appearance, and a real person does not reveal his appearance." A real master will not easily show his abilities.
However, He Qing didn't think much about it. He only had one purpose here, that is, to identify the seal, and then contact the buyer as soon as possible to sell it for a better price.
He followed Gu Qing to Lin Haitao, who was squatting there to pick things up. As soon as they approached, Lin Haitao noticed.
"Sister Gu Qing, Brother He, what else do you have?" Lin Haitao quickly stood up and greeted him.
"Haitao, He Qing brought another thing, a very beautiful Shoushan Stone Seal. Can you help him contact him? He is in a hurry now and wants to transfer the thing." Gu Qing explained their purpose directly.
"Yes, I will do my best." Lin Haitao nodded without hesitation and agreed.
"Brother He, don't worry, let's sit down and talk." Lin Haitao enthusiastically invited He Qing and Gu Qing to sit down. After serving tea, he asked, "Brother He, what kind of Shoushan Seal is it?"
"Brother Lin, that's all." He Qing then carefully took out the seal and handed it to Lin Haitao for appreciation.
"Oh, good thing!" After taking it, Lin Haitao couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother He, this is Tian Huang! It's still old Tian Huangshi! It's so beautiful!"
Gu Qing, who was standing beside him, smiled and said, "I have seen it a long time ago. This must be Tianhuang. Such a large piece of Tianhuang stone is rare."
"It's rare!" Lin Haitao praised, "To be honest, I haven't seen such an exquisite seal with my own eyes. Judging from the style and carving style, it should be from the Qing Dynasty, right?"
He Qing nodded subconsciously and said, "Yes, it was from the middle of the Qing Dynasty. Brother Lin, is this kind of seal easy to sell now?"
He casually mentioned the specific age of the seal, because no one except him could accurately judge when the seal came from.
Speaking of which, he found this thing from "Jianbaozhai", but it was just an extremely strange way to pick up bargains.
Lin Haitao and Uncle Long didn't know it at all, and they never expected that the old Tian Huangshi seal was related to the antique furniture called "Cao Xueqin's book box".
"It's easy to sell! Why is it not easy to sell?! I can't ask for it!" Lin Haitao said with a smile, "Brother He, the old Shoushan stone seal with good quality is already very marketable, not to mention the best one among them! Tianhuang stone is rare and precious, and it is of great value. In addition to the best material Tianhuang stone, your seal is also very carving. It has seals and exquisite patterns, which are extremely precious!"
He said as he looked over and over again, and the more he looked, the more he praised him. After receiving his affirmation, He Qing felt even more relieved. It seemed that his brother's medical expenses were not any problem and he could be raised immediately.
"Brother He, sell it to me, you can offer a price!" After admiring for a while, Lin Haitao suddenly said, "Since you want to sell it, I don't want to give it to others. Such a good thing is hard to come by, and it would be a pity to miss it!"
He said seriously, He Qing and Gu Qing looked at each other, and Gu Qing said, "Haitao, don't you really want it?"
"Sister Gu Qing, of course!" Lin Haitao nodded with a smile, "Brother He, don't worry, I won't let you suffer a loss. We are all friends now. If I take advantage of you, how can I be embarrassed to continue dating you? I have made up your friend!"
He Qing said with a straight look: "I know, but I don't know how much it costs to sell. Brother Lin, why don't you offer a price?"
Gu Qing was expected to be able to sell for millions before, which made him so excited that he couldn't help himself. He couldn't believe it, and he didn't know what price Lin Haitao would give.
Lin Haitao looked so straight and very sincere to others. If he knew the current market of Laotian Huangshi, he would definitely not be joking around. He Qing believed in the other party from the beginning and was very happy to be able to trade with the other party.
"Brother He, I can't answer you immediately." Lin Haitao said, "How about this, I'll ask Uncle Long and Mr. Deng. They must know what they say. I'll give you as much as they say. I really like this seal, not to try to get a bargain in your hands."
He Qing hurriedly said, "Well, okay. No hurry. Please help me ask."
"Then please wait a moment first." Lin Haitao said, then he handed the seal back to He Qing, and got up and walked towards Uncle Long and the others who were talking there.
"Haitao is quite generous. He is willing to pay for anything he thinks about." After Lin Haitao turned around and walked away, Gu Qing smiled and said, "He doesn't lack money, so it shouldn't be a problem to buy your seal."
He Qing nodded and said, "It's the same with anyone who does business. Since Brother Lin likes it, that's great."
This is actually something He Qing couldn't ask for, because he was in a hurry to use money. Now Lin Haitao is willing to buy the seal, so he doesn't have to go to another boss.
Lin Haitao dressed quite decently, and it seemed like a child of a rich family. It was no problem to sell things with millions.
After waiting for about four or five minutes, Lin Haitao walked back, followed by Uncle Long and Mr. Deng, the shopkeeper of "Treasure Criticism".
Seeing Mr. Deng and Uncle Long both approaching, He Qing and Gu Qing immediately stood up to greet each other. The other party was an old senior, so naturally they had to treat each other politely.
"Uncle Long--" He Qing greeted him politely.
"Brother He, this is Mr. Deng. You two, don't be polite, please sit down and talk." Uncle Long said with a smile.
"Hello, Mr. Deng." He Qing hurriedly extended greetings to the old man.
Mr. Deng said with a kind expression on his face, "Hello. Young man, I heard from Haitao that you have a piece of old Tianhuangstone. Can you show me?"
"Of course it's OK!" He Qing handed the seal in his hand to Mr. Deng without hesitation.
After a closer look, Old Deng and Uncle Long both looked surprised on their faces. Then Old Deng said: "This seal weighs about 80 grams, has a well-shaped shape and is exquisitely carved. It is a very good Qing Dynasty Fangzhang. Young man, if you want to take action, I would be willing to pay three million. I don't know what to do."
