"Five hundred yuan? My dear, you haven't woken up yet? Even if these porcelains are not imitations of Xuande from Yongzheng, they are imitations of Xuande from the late Qing Dynasty." The fat boss's face is still ugly, but he is not the same as before.
It's about to turn against him.
Seeing what the fat boss said, Zhang Junping immediately calmed down.
If you don't understand, then it's easy.
When collecting things in China, he seemed to be very generous, but in fact it was because the market price in China was already low at that time, so there was no need for him to lower the price.
Another meaning is that one thousand gold buys horse bones.
What he wants is to spread the word through the mouths of Jin Yongshun and others that Zhang Junping is generous in collecting things. As long as the items are right, the price will be one or two cents higher than the market price.
In this way, he doesn't have to go out and wander around, and someone will deliver good things to his door.
It's different when we arrive in Xiangjiang. It's like restaurant owners. Some specialize in repeat customers, while others specialize in passers-by, and they kill each one one by one.
Here in Xiangjiang, they are just passers-by, and Zhang Junping naturally suppresses them as much as he can. If you look for a treasure, it means you have poor eyesight, and you can't blame others for picking it up.
The so-called treasure hunting is a jargon in the antique industry, which means selling good things as imitations at low prices.
"Boss, what you said is true. These yellow-glazed porcelains with dragon patterns look like items from the Tongzhi or Guangxu years.
Moreover, these things are all factory official glazes.
Does the boss know about the official glaze of the factory?" Zhang Junping asked with a smile.
"Factory official glaze? Do you think these porcelains are factory official glaze?" the fat boss actually asked with a hint of surprise.
"Hmm! These should be factory official glazes from the Xianfeng or Tongzhi period.
As we all know, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty liked to make official imitations of utensils. During the Xianfeng period, due to the decline in national power, they preferred to imitate the utensils of the previous dynasty. As a result, Xianfeng style porcelain is rarely seen in the market now."
"Beautiful boy... Zhang Sheng's advice really taught me a lot!"
In this way, I don't want 20,000 yuan for these yellow-glazed porcelain with dragon patterns. Each piece costs 5,000 yuan. You can take them all." The fat boss thanked Zhang Junping, but the knife in his hand was not slow at all.
"Boss, don't worry.
This factory's official glaze is authentically from an official kiln, and it specializes in producing porcelain for the royal family.
However, factory official glaze is the cheapest among all official kiln porcelain.
Because, the so-called official glaze refers to porcelain produced on ancient assembly lines." Zhang Junping was not in a hurry and continued to fool around with a smile.
"How much is Mr. Zhang willing to charge?"
"A thousand yuan a piece, including this big Yuan blue and white jar, I want it too." Zhang Junping stretched out a finger and said.
The fat boss looked at Zhang Junping and felt a toothache.
The price given by Zhang Junping is a bit stiff.
He packed up this batch of porcelain from a bankrupt British man and spent a total of 10,000 yuan.
Zhang Junping paid 1,000 yuan for each piece, which was equivalent to more than 20,000 yuan, more than double the profit.
If this was more than double the profit in other industries, the boss would be flushed with excitement and nod his head in agreement.
But this is an antique shop. It has not been open for three years, but it has been open for three years. The profit is more than double, which obviously cannot satisfy the fat boss.
However, I was a little reluctant to refuse, because after all, I had already made more than double the profit.
"Zhang Sheng, the price you gave me is really uncomfortable. If I give it to you, my work will be in vain. You can add more and take it away." The fat boss simply told the truth.
"Haha! Boss, you probably only paid about 10,000 yuan for these things. I can give you more than 20,000 yuan."
Come on! Since you said it, let’s add some more and pack 30,000 yuan.” Zhang Junping shook his head with a bright smile on his face.
Zhang Junping did not know whether these yellow-glazed porcelain dishes with dragon patterns were genuine Yongzheng imitations of Xuande.
He is not a real expert in appraising porcelain, but he just feels that this batch of yellow-glazed dragon-patterned porcelain is well-shaped, rounded and natural, and the dragon pattern depicted on the porcelain is also full of ancient charm and charm, which cannot be achieved by ordinary imitations.
The reason why he dared to take these porcelain directly was because he accidentally heard a piece of news at an art gathering later in life.
At that time, others were telling it as a legend, and he just listened casually.
Unexpectedly, after rebirth, I would actually get involved in the legendary storyline.
In the story from a previous life, the owner of an antique shop received a batch of yellow-glazed porcelain with a dragon pattern made in the Xuande year of the Ming Dynasty.
As a result, the porcelain that appeared in batches were often imitations. This potential knowledge in the industry made the shop owner realize that the treasure was stolen. It was bought by a collector from Beijing at a low price.
Now, Zhang Junping just repeated the process of finding treasures in his previous life, and became the hero of the treasure hunt.
It doesn't matter whether it's just a coincidence that these yellow-glazed dragon-patterned porcelains are official imitations from the late Qing Dynasty.
A total of 30,000 yuan, even if it is just a replica from the Republic of China period, it is not a loss.
"Okay! Just follow the price mentioned by Zhang Sheng!" The fat boss gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
"Boss, find a better box and pack it for me." Zhang Junping readily counted out 30,000 Hong Kong dollars and handed it to the fat boss.
"Zhang Sheng, when I collected this batch of porcelain, I brought several boxes with me. They were all made of the finest Hainan huanghuali. If you add some money, I can give you the boxes as well?" the fat boss said quickly.
He took the money and said to Zhang Junping with a smile.
"I said boss, you are too good at doing business, aren't you?
Those boxes of yours were originally just for collecting porcelain, but now you are asking me for money." Zhang Junping shook his head with a smile, glanced at the boxes the fat boss mentioned, and handed the fat boss two thousand Hong Kong dollars.
, "Wrap it up for me."
"This..." The fat boss didn't take the money and smiled awkwardly at Zhang Junping.
"Why do you think it's too little?" Zhang Junping asked with a smile.
"This is a box of Hainan huanghuali. If you look at the decorations, I will definitely be short of 5,000 yuan if I sell one box alone. You can add some more!"
The fat boss is definitely not just raising the price. This is the rule in the antique business. Even if someone can get it without spending a penny, even if it sells you 10 million, as long as the item is worth that price, you can't say that the person is not particular about it.
In an antique shop, prices are based on the items, not the cost.
"Okay!" Zhang Junping counted out five more one thousand Hong Kong dollars and handed them to the fat boss, "That's it, right?"
These wooden boxes are indeed beautiful. They cost five thousand yuan each, which is definitely not high, so Zhang Junping readily paid for them.
"Zhang Junping, are these porcelains good things?" Huang Xue didn't ask until she left the fat boss's antique shop.
In the antique shop just now, Huang Xue didn't say anything more except that she first said that the yellow-glazed plum vase with dragon pattern was beautiful.
It wasn't until Zhang Junping bought the things and left that he asked about his doubts.
