Qin Changsheng felt calm and did not take the boss's praise to heart at all. He casually asked: "Boss, do you want to sell this bowl?"
The boss gave a thumbs up almost reflexively and said: "Brother, you have great taste. This bowl is a cloisonné bowl with cloisonne and cloisonné enamel on a copper body from the Qianlong period. It can be said to be a treasure..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something was wrong and closed his mouth in embarrassment.
Qin Changsheng sneered and said, "Speaking of boss, do you think of me as a deaf person or as a genius?"
After all, Qin Changsheng had seen all the transactions between the boss and the sale of scraps. The boss was now speaking out in different ways, which was a slap in the face to him.
The boss understood that it was impossible to kill Qin Changsheng ruthlessly, so he could only sigh: "Little brother, as soon as I saw that we are destined, I will not cheat you. Let's be honest with you. Although this bowl is
It’s a fake, but whether it’s old-fashioned or craftsmanship, there’s nothing to say about it. It’s still very collectible, so let’s leave it like this.”
The boss held out three fingers.
Qin Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't think that the boss was gesturing for three hundred yuan. It seemed that he wanted three thousand.
"Isn't it too kind to sell it for three thousand for one hundred and twenty?" Qin Changsheng shook his head and said, "Five hundred, maybe."
The boss of Yuxuanzhai's face darkened slightly. Five hundred was actually the lowest price in his heart. He didn't expect that this young man would cut the price so hard, and he just gave him a knife in the thigh.
"Little brother, I'm afraid you don't know how to do it. How much I charge is my business. If I receive a good item for 100 yuan and resell it for 1 million, that's also my business."
Qin Changsheng said: "Then tell me the real price."
The boss said: "Two thousand and five thousand, no more!"
Qin Changsheng is actually not short of money now. Hearing this, he didn't bother to bargain anymore and said, "Okay, I'll pay the price you said."
This bowl is undoubtedly an antique, and its shape is beautiful and its appearance is almost brand new. Although Qin Changsheng is not sure how much it is worth, it would be good to give it to his grandmother as a birthday gift.
The boss immediately beamed with joy. He made more than two thousand dollars as soon as he changed hands. I was really happy with these two transactions today!
He took off the bowl and put it on the counter. When Qin Changsheng paid, he asked with a smile: "Little brother, do you want to take it directly, or do I find a box to wrap it up for you?"
"Find a box and wrap it up." Qin Changsheng said.
After all, it is an antique, so it is not appropriate to carry it around.
"Okay, I'll find a suitable one for you. The boxes I have here are all made of high-quality huanghuali. It costs 180 yuan to buy one. But because we are destined, I will give you this box.
.If you want to buy anything in the future, you must come to my place first!"
The boss smiled from ear to ear and pretended to be generous as a favor to Qin Changsheng, taking out a beautifully shaped wooden box.
Qin Changsheng smiled and said nothing more. Just as he was about to put the bowl into the box, he heard a voice coming from behind him.
"Hey, is this a bronze-painted enamel cloisonné bowl?"
Qin Changsheng turned around and saw an old man in his sixties, wearing white casual clothes, looking at the bowl in his hand with interest.
Seeing Qin Changsheng turn to look at him, the old man smiled, nodded to Qin Changsheng, pointed to the bowl in his hand and said: "Young man, can you let me see this bowl?"
"Okay." Qin Changsheng saw that the other party had a friendly face and had no worries. He nodded with a smile and put the bowl back on the table.
In the antique world, people who are truly knowledgeable about fragile items such as porcelain and jade rarely pass them on to each other.
Because when two people hand over things, once the things are broken, there will inevitably be disputes. Some people may even deliberately use this method to extort money from others.
Although Qin Changsheng didn't know much about antiques, he still knew this bit of common sense.
The old man picked up the bowl, looked around carefully, then shook his head with regret and said, "It turns out it's just a fake."
However, he still seemed to be very interested in this bowl. He put it down and said, "Young man, although this bowl is a fake, the workmanship is enough to look like the real one, and it has certain collection value. I am quite interested in this bowl. I don't know."
Do you have any plans to transfer?"
Before Qin Changsheng could say anything, the shop owner beside him couldn't sit still. He stood up and asked, "How much do you plan to pay?"
At this time, the shop owner was already regretting it. If he had known that this bowl was so popular, he would not have sold it to Qin Changsheng so easily. If it had been a little later, when the old man came, the two of them would have bid to buy it.
Wouldn’t it be possible to make a lot of money?
The old man pondered for a moment and said, "I'll pay you eight thousand yuan. What do you think, young man?"
"Eight thousand?" The shop owner's expression changed, as if he had eaten shit.
There is an old saying in the antique industry that if you don’t open for three years, you will have to wait for three years if you open.
Yuxuanzhai is already one of the largest stores in Jing'an Square, but it can only make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. This eight thousand dollars made him heartbroken.
However, what the boss didn't expect was that when Qin Changsheng heard the price, he was not moved at all. Instead, he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I bought this bowl to celebrate the birthday of my elders in the family. I won't sell it."
Hearing that Qin Changsheng would not sell the bowl, the boss felt much relieved. If he had seen Qin Changsheng selling the bowl for 8,000 yuan, he would have been so miserable that he would not be able to eat for three days.
However, the old man frowned and said persistently: "Young man, I really like this bowl. I'll give you 20,000 yuan and give it to me. How about it?"
The boss of Yuxuanzhai suddenly felt a tight feeling in his chest, and he wanted to slap himself in the mouth!
This old man looks like a rich man at first glance, and he really likes this bowl. If he hadn't sold the bowl to Qin Changsheng, if it had been him, he would have sold it to this old man for not only 20,000 yuan, but 50,000 yuan.
!
Regret!
The boss looked at the bowl as if he were looking at red banknotes, and his teeth almost broke.
Chen Changsheng still shook his head: "Sorry, I really don't want to sell it."
Not to mention that this bowl was a birthday gift that he planned to give to his grandma. Even if he didn't bring it to his grandma to celebrate her birthday, it would be impossible for this bowl to sell for only 20,000 yuan.
After all, in the eyes of others, this bowl is just a fake, but Qin Changsheng knows that it is a genuine antique from the Qianlong period, and it is very likely that it was used by Qianlong.
The owner of the antique shop became even more jealous when he saw that Qin Changsheng didn't sell even 20,000 yuan.
He quickly walked out of it, squeezed out Qin Changsheng, stood between Qin Changsheng and the old man, and said to the old man with a smile: "Old sir, this kid doesn't know how to praise, why do you need to be like him?
?”
"There are many porcelains in my store that are of better quality than this bowl. Don't buy their bowls. Let me show you the porcelain I have! Including this style of cloisonné bowl, I also have two here!"
Qin Changsheng was pushed back a step by the boss of Yuxuanzhai, and his face sank slightly.
Not long ago, the owner of Yuxuanzhai had called him brother-in-law and said they were destined to be friends. But now that he saw the profit, he immediately changed his face and said that he was a brat who didn't know how to praise.
