Antique Street is still bustling and crowded every weekend. Qin Yichen puts all the used jade in a suitcase and goes straight to the jade shops where he bought jade.
Qin Yichen knows that it's easy for him to sell this batch of jade, but it's very difficult to sell it at a good price, because he bought it at the market price at the beginning, and if he wanted to take it out, if he didn't have a store and enough regular customers, it would be very difficult for him to sell it. Even if he could, it would take a long time, I'm afraid it's hard to sell one by one in ten days and a half months, so for Qin Yichen, he would rather sacrifice a little money to sell jade back to his shop at a low price.
However, when Qin Yichen came to the shop where he bought five pieces of jade at one time last time and explained his intention to the boss, the price offered by the boss surprised Qin Yichen.
"600000. I'll buy all the five jade carvings."
Qin Yichen was annoyed by the price offered by his boss. He blurted out: "I bought it from you for 1.2 million yuan at the beginning, but you are only willing to spend 600000 yuan to recycle it. Is it too dark?"
The boss laughed and said calmly: "little brother, we are in business. When we sell them to you, we need to make a profit, which is for sure. Now you want to sell them to me, which is a very different business. If the purchase price of these five jades is 900000 yuan, then I must leave some profit space for myself, so, Prices need to be lower. "
Qin Yichen some displeasure of say: "so say, I this buy a sell, you want to repeatedly earn my money twice?"
The boss scratched his head and said with a smile: "everyone is doing business like this. Now you suddenly want to change hands with jade. It seems that you also need money for something. Well, I'll give you another 100000, 700000, and I'll take back the five jade carvings. What do you think?"
Qin Yichen suddenly realized that the boss was determined that he was short of money, so he was anxious to sell the five jade carvings, so he deliberately lowered the price and wanted to take the opportunity to knock his own money. If these people do business like this, it would be good if he could recover half of the money. This makes Qin Yichen feel angry and think that since the jade was collected from Jinling, If they are sold in Jinling, they will lose a lot in price. In this case, it's better to sell them in another place.
Thinking of this, Qin Yichen thought of a person, sun Qian.
The old man who runs a study shop in Zheng antique market has a company specializing in jewelry and jade. He might as well go to Zheng city again and meet sun Qian. Qin Yichen still has a good impression on Sun Qian. In other words, he should not pit himself too much. What's more, he is engaged in jade business and seems to be doing a lot of work, In this case, I can also consult with him about the way to deal in jade business. Anyway, I will have to do this business in the future. If I have his advice, I will save myself a lot of detours.
Immediately, Qin Yichen stuffed all the five jade carvings into his suitcase, turned and left. Seeing that Qin Yichen was going to leave, the boss said in a hurry: "little brother, how about I add another 20000 to you? That's the highest price I can offer. "
"Play with the eggs!" Qin Yichen did not turn back and left a word. After going out, he immediately left Antique Street and took a taxi to the railway station.
There is a high-speed railway to Zheng City in ten minutes. After Qin Yichen arrived at the station, he bought a ticket 20 minutes later and entered the station with his suitcase. 20 minutes later, he got on the high-speed train to Zheng city.
It was nearly three o'clock in the afternoon when the train started. Qin Yichen thought that it was almost seven o'clock when he got off the train. It would take him half an hour to take a taxi to the antique street. At seven thirty, the antique street was closed. In this case, he was running for nothing tonight. He turned out the business card sun Qian had left him and gave him a call.
Since Sun Qian let his son take care of his jewelry and jade trading company, he has nothing to do every day. During the day, he sits in his own study shop, doing small business when he has business, and writing calligraphy when he has no business. He prefers quietness, and sometimes he wants no guests to come all day, He had just developed ink and was preparing to practice calligraphy on the unfolded rice paper when his mobile phone rang. After he got through, he calmly asked, "Hello, who?"
"Master Sun?" Qin Yichen said with a smile: "I don't know if you remember me. I'm Qin Yichen. A few days ago, when I went to Zheng City, I bought a pen holder from your shop."
Sun Qian almost immediately thought of Qin Yichen and said with a smile, "it's you, young man. What's the matter? What can I do for you, old man
Then, without waiting for Qin Yichen's reply, he said, "I have to say in advance that I will not return or exchange things, old man."
Qin Yichen also laughed and said, "look what you said, how can I do something that breaks the rules? I'm calling you to ask if you have time tonight?"
"Why?" Sun Qian asked with a smile, "are you in Zheng city now?"
"No Qin Yichen said with a smile: "I'm on the train to Zheng city now. During this time, I've been panning for some jade. I want to see if you have a way to sell jade. Besides, I have some jade problems to ask you."
Sun Qian said with a smile, "what time can I get there? I'll wait for you in the store. "
Qin Yichen said: "it's estimated that it's about 7:30. Are you OK at night?"
"Nothing." Sun Qian said with a smile, "I'll close later today. You can come directly."
"All right." Qin Yichen thanks and hangs up.
At 6:50, Qin Yichen came out of Zhengshi railway station and directly stopped the car and went straight to the antique street. After arriving at the west gate of the antique street, Qin Yichen thought that the old man thought that he would wait for him to eat, so he bought some cooked food from the deli, bought two bottles of kouzi twenty years cellar in a tobacco and wine shop, and went straight to the old man's shop with wine and vegetables.
Sun Qian is practicing calligraphy in the shop at this time. Although his calligraphy is only an amateur, it has reached the professional level. The old man has been in business all his life, but he loves calligraphy very much. Sometimes he doesn't even eat for a whole day. When Qin Yichen steps in, he sees the food and wine in his hand and says with a smile, "young man, you've come at a good time, Old man, I'm feeling something wrong in my stomach. When you come, I find that it's the wine bug that's making trouble. "
Qin Yichen said in a hurry, "hurry up, boy. I'll have two drinks with you."
When sun Qian saw that Qin Yichen was holding kouzi cellar, a famous Anhui wine, he was slightly surprised and said with a smile: "young man has a good eye. Kouzi cellar is my favorite wine for the old man. It's not as strong as Maotai liquor or as gorgeous as Sichuan liquor. It's a real good thing!"
Qin Yichen didn't know that he bought two bottles of wine, but he was the old man's favorite, so he said quickly: "come on, old man, let's finish two cups first."
"Good!" Sun Qian was also very straightforward. He took out a folding round table from the back and two round stools. Then he took out two small wine cups and sat opposite Qin Yichen. He asked with a smile, "what's up? Do you start to study jade now? "
Qin Yichen patted the suitcase beside him and said with a smile: "I have nothing to do, and I really like jade. So I invested some, but I can't hold it, so I'm looking for you."
With that, Qin Yichen said hastily, "let's drink and have dinner first. We'll talk about jade later."
Sun Qian looked at Qin Yichen admiringly and said, "it's true that the young man can calm down. It's not easy. Come on, drink first."
Qin Yichen accompanied sun Qian to drink a bottle. He wanted to persuade him to drink some more. However, sun Qian covered the glass with his hand and said with a smile, "it's just right now. Half a jin of wine is down, and the whole person is more comfortable. If you drink more, it will affect your eyesight. Come on, young man, let me see the jade you bought."
Qin Yichen nodded, quickly picked up the suitcase, opened it in front of the old man and said, "you see, it's all here."
Sun Qian's eyes brightened, and the first thing he noticed was the jade carvings of the five Chinese zodiac animals. He exclaimed, "this is Yao Zongren's twelve Chinese zodiac animals! God, I've been looking for him for more than ten years, but I didn't expect to meet him here! "
Qin Yichen asked curiously, "master, do you know this jade carving?"
The old man picked up one of the jade carvings and said, "I don't know about it. The other seven pieces are in my hands. But the jade carvings were disassembled and sold by their original owners during the cultural revolution. I collected seven pieces one after another. I always wanted to get all the twelve pieces together, but I didn't get what I wanted."
Qin Yichen was a little surprised. It seems that the owner of the jade shop didn't lie when he sold the five pieces of jade to him. Now he sees that sun Qian is very fond of them, and he has already collected seven pieces of them, so he becomes a man of beauty. He says, "master, since you like them, I will give them to you. It's also to make you complete."
Instead of responding to Qin Yichen's words, sun Qian asked, "young man, how much did you spend on these five jade carvings?"
Qin Yichen said truthfully: "1.2 million."
"Oh." Sun Qian nodded and said, "from my point of view, 1.2 million is not expensive. However, from other people's point of view, 1.2 million, some of you have been killed. These five pieces of jade carvings are the early works of Yao Zongren. The carving is not very exquisite, and the quality of the jade used is not very good. If they are broken up and sold in the market, The highest price is about 1780000. "
Qin Yichen nodded and said, "it seems that I still need to learn more."
Sun Qian laughed and said, "it doesn't matter. For me, this jade is more than 1.2 million. After all, Chinese people pay attention to a complete and perfect jade carving. The value of these 12 jade carvings of the Chinese zodiac is more than doubled. Well, I'll give you 2.4 million, and I'll take the five jade carvings."
Qin Yichen knew that sun Qian must be a magnate in jade, and he promised to double the price casually. It seemed that the business was not so big. He didn't care about the two million, but how he could develop his own jade business channel in the future. So he said firmly, "if you like, old man, These five pieces of jade will be filial piety to you. If you take them, I won't take any money. But if you want to buy them, I won't sell them! "
