Chapter Twenty-Three: Finding an Organization (Asking for Recommendations, Favorites, and Clicks)
In the exclamation, Ye Tian smiled and put the basswood box on the table, stretched out his hand to open it and said:
"Gentlemen, please admire! High-end sterling silver custom-made cutlery from 19th century France"
With that, he took two steps back and left the table. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There is no way not to leave, Benny is too large, and one person occupies two-thirds of the area in front of the table! Ye Tian didn't want to experience the feeling of being squeezed together with a pile of meat again!
The other three gathered around the table with their eyes shining and began to admire the set of antique cutlery.
In the next second, Gary's voice of surprise came out.
"Wow! This is a complete set of knives, forks and spoons haute couture, one piece is a lot! perfect!"
Entering the appraisal process, Gary and Benny begin to carefully examine and authenticate each piece of cutlery, all the details.
Jason withdrew, stood beside Ye Tian with bright eyes, and rubbed his hands together excitedly, as if he was moving his wrists, ready to count the money for a while!
Metal cutlery identification is easy and fast, all the evidence is on the surface, and there is no need to do any more testing.
Five minutes later, the appraisal is over and it's time to trade.
"Steven, this set of antique cutlery is excellent, very complete, definitely from 'Jean.B. Foss', I like it very much, I want to buy it, talk about the price, how much do you want to sell it for?"
Gary began to inquire, his eyes lit up with excitement.
Negotiations begin!
Ye Tian suddenly became excited, he was about to harvest dollars, can he not be excited?
"Gary, are you a connoisseur of antique tableware, or you should make a price, I believe it will be a reasonable price, which can reflect the true value of this set of tableware"
Ye Tian smiled and gave up the initiative, ready to defend and counterattack.
"Well, in that case, I'll make an offer, $10,000, that's a good price, right? If I could, I'll pay now, in cash or by check."
Looking at the gentle and elegant and personable Gary, it was only at this time that he really showed his fangs and offered a super low price that made Ye Tian dumbfounded!
Then he looked at Ye Tian with a smile, and waited for Ye Tian to respond, acting like a gentleman!
Why don't you grab it? It's dark!
Ye Tian began to complain frantically in his heart, but his expression did not change in any way, he just looked at Gary with a smile, shook his head very firmly, and rejected the offer!
Hearing the price, Benny's face shook a little, and it was obvious that he was also frightened by Gary's ruthlessness.
Jason was stunned, and then looked at Gary with hatred in his eyes, like looking at a thug who had snatched money from his own pocket.
Seeing that Ye Tian rejected his ultra-low offer, Gary didn't feel embarrassed at all, and continued to quote with a smile on his face.
"It seems that you are not satisfied with the price, the 15,000 dollars, although this is an antique, but after all, it is tableware, this price is already very fair"
Can't make him quote, this is definitely a super profiteer!
Ye Tian's mind turned, and he immediately decided to take the initiative.
"It's too low! I can't accept it! Open the skylight and say something bright, I've done my homework and know the value of this set of utensils, $120,000, which is a reasonable price!"
Gary's muscles twitched violently, a little frightened!
Benny did the same, and then he had a look of amusement in his eyes, the old fox met the little fox!
Dumbfounded, Jason showed this expression again, but the difference was that this time he was frightened by Ye Tian!
After the shock, Gary immediately offered a new price, and a look of pain appeared on his face.
"Okay! Looks like you're very well prepared, $50,000, that's the highest price I can give!
That antique Patek Philippe watch on your wrist is worth $50,000!
Dude is not a Brooklyn street gangster who has never seen the world, buddy used to be a gangster on Wall Street, although he is not interested in luxury, but he has also seen and known, and wants to lie to me!
Although your offer this time is already a little sincere, it is still a lot short of my expected price!
While complaining frantically in his heart, Ye Tian smiled and gave a new offer.
"100,000, this is already a big step, I understand the value of this set of utensils"
"60,000, I'm an antique dealer and need to make a profit, this is a very sincere price"
For his sudden extra $10,000, Gary didn't show any embarrassment or surprise!
"I'm willing to share the profits, $80,000, if I can't accept this price, then the deal has to fall through, and I'll find another buyer, or send it directly to the auction house!"
Ye Tian made the final offer, and his expression and tone were extremely firm and unquestionable, which was 10,000 higher than his psychological price.
Now that he has food in his hand, he is not panicking, and he has 270,000 bank deposits to make a foundation, and it doesn't matter whether this set of utensils can be sold in time, and it has no impact on himself.
If the price can't be negotiated, you can go straight to the auction house and fetch a higher price!
Gary began to think that he didn't want to miss this cutlery set!
Ye Tian was not in a hurry, he just sat with a smile and waited for Gary to make a decision.
And Jason was already in the anxiety of gaining and losing at this time, for fear that the fat in his mouth would fly away, thousands of dollars! Who doesn't feel distressed?
After a few moments, Gary made up his mind, stood up and smiled and held out his hand.
"Steven, you're such a price devil, $80,000, deal!"
"Thank you for your generosity, Gary, you are an elegant gentleman"
Ye Tian stood up and shook hands with the other party to make a deal, and complimented him by the way.
"Yay! that's great!"
Jason began to celebrate wildly.
Can $4,000 fall from the sky and smash it on the head, can it not make people crazy?
The rest was easy, Gary wrote a check for $80,000 and took the antique cutlery.
After the transaction was completed, he didn't wait for even a second, and couldn't wait to take the dishes to a professional to clean them and restore them to their original appearance.
Waiting for Gary to leave, Ye Tian took out the checkbook he had just received at the bank and wrote two checks.
Seeing him do this, Benny and Jason were a little surprised.
This kid is rich! Not a poor man, it seems that he must have gained something other than an antique pistol, and it is a lot of money!
"Benny, here's your commission, $8,000, check ready to cash"
Ye Tian smiled and handed over the written check.
"Thank you, Steven, and may God always be on your side!"
Benny reached out and took the check, and his smiling eyes were gone!
Then Ye Tian wrote another one and handed it to Jason, who was already crazy with excitement.
"Jason, it's $4,000 commission, thank you for your help"
"Wow! Awesome! I love dollars! I love you even more, Steven, you're such a generous guy!"
After taking the check, Jason immediately came up and gave Ye Tian a warm hug.
Ye Tian made an exaggerated expression of fright, and reached out to push Jason away.
"Dude, I only love beautiful women, I have no interest in men!
Jason was stunned for a moment, and then scolded with a red face and a smile:
"I love beautiful women, and I'm the hottest one, and I'm not interested in men!"
"Hahaha"
A burst of hearty laughter immediately erupted in the reception room.
......
After collecting the check, everyone went back to the front storefront.
Jason impatiently ran to the bank to cash the check, while Ye Tian chatted with Benny.
"Steven, I heard you're interested in getting into warehouse auctions?"
Hearing Benny ask, Ye Tian didn't hide it and nodded.
"That's right, my change started with warehouse auctions, and I realized that I still have some talent for vintage goods, so I wanted to try it out in this field"
"Your vision is very sharp and accurate, several things in a row have proved this, I am very optimistic about you, you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself in this industry!"
"Thank you for your encouragement, I'm completely new to this line, I have a lot of knowledge to learn, I may come to you for advice in the future, and I hope you will give me advice!"
Benny nodded approvingly.
"Yes, you have a lot to learn, and if you have any questions, you can ask, and I will tell you what I know."
"Thank you, Benny, I will"
"Since you are going to enter this industry, then I suggest that you better register as a member of the Warehouse Auction Association, so that you can share the information of the association.
Not only do you have information about warehousing and auctions, but you can also exchange experiences with other treasure diggers, and it is also very helpful for selling second-hand goods, and many second-hand stores and antique stores are members."
Hearing Benny's suggestion, Ye Tian suddenly became interested and hurriedly asked:
"What are the requirements for registering as a member? or do I need a referral? Where is the address of the association?
Benny smiled and continued:
If you want to enjoy VIP treatment and get more valuable information, it depends on your results and the money you pay.
This VIP treatment is still very value-for-money, it is worth paying those membership fees, and there are warehousing association offices in each district, which are generally in warehousing companies.
The Manhattan office is located in the Smithsonian warehouse company, not far from here, and you can let Jason take you there later, and you can apply for VIP directly with your treasure digging results."
"That's great, I'll sign up later"
Ye Tian was excited, and he felt a little like he had found an organization!
"Steven, you are a lucky person, if there is a good second-hand disposal in the future, bring it to me, and I will give you the most reasonable price.
If I can't take it, I will also find you a suitable channel, of course, this is a commission, the same as this time, 10%, do you think it's okay?"
Finally, the poor dagger saw it, this dead fat man is a typical unprofitable and unprofitable early!
Of course, Ye Tian would not refuse this kind of good thing, which could save him a lot of trouble.
"Great!
"Then it's decided, let me make some dollars with you lucky boy!"
Benny stretched out his fat hand and shook it with Ye Tian to finalize the matter.
With a joke, Jason returned to the second-hand store.
At this time, his face was already smiling!
