Chapter 50 Bookstalls
Today is still the third watch.,For the sake of the mad god working so hard.,The recommendations of the brothers are smashed over.,Ask for collection.。
Meng Guangtao knew that the price he asked for was too high, and all the stores did not accept it, which made his face more bitter than bitter melon.
He offered 50 million for the first time, but he was hit, he thought that his offer was too high and did not leave a profit for the store, so he quoted 45 million for the second one, but they still did not accept his small bowl.
The third one he simply quoted 30 million, but people still had no intention of buying, and when he arrived at the fourth, he directly asked what price they could offer, and the palm-eyed master directly bid 300,000 yuan.
By this time, he had no idea of putting the bowl in the bank safe, and the next day they kept wandering around the antique street, regardless of whether it was raining or not, and when they had visited all the shops on the antique street, he had to die.
By this time, he had also realized that his previous fears were completely correct.
The reason why he is reluctant to enter the auction house is not because he is afraid of trouble, nor is he afraid of high appraisal fees and commissions, but because he is afraid of being hacked.
Just like now, he said that his small bowl is Kangxi enamel, but others don't see it that way, with Meng Guangtao's life experience, he naturally knows what those palm-eyed masters think.
Rather buy fake like the real one, don't buy the real like the fake, they don't care if it's true or not, they buy it according to the fake, so that they won't make mistakes, if you buy the small bowl according to the fake, people can buy it for tens of thousands of yuan at most, at most three or five hundred thousand, after buying, no matter whether it's true or not, you won't lose money.
If they do buy it, the amount of money they use is a lot of money, and if something goes wrong, they may break their bones.
Therefore, when Meng Guangtao insisted that it was an enamel color bowl from the Kangxi official kiln, those palm-eyed masters didn't want to buy it, and there was not much profit from buying it, and if it was not genuine, it would be a big loss.
Although those palm-eyed masters all saw that Meng Guangtao's small bowl was unlikely to be a fake, it did not mean that there was no suspicion, that is, the small bowl looked too new, that is, there was a thief's light.
This is not a good thing for the appearance of thief light on antiques, although it is known that the enamel color is not easy to appear old, and it is normal to have thief light, but this point is a matter of opinion, and has not been recognized by many masters of the antique industry.
Just this point, it is possible to make this small bowl of the official kiln wear the title of true and fake, and it is an iron law not to buy real and fake.
Besides, those palm-eyed masters didn't have too long to do the appraisal, so in the face of a small enamel bowl of tens of millions, they could only offer a conservative price.
Meng Guangtao thought about these very clearly, so when he came back today, he was dead hearted, and he didn't plan to go out to find a buyer, the most important thing was that he had no connections.
Even if it is sent to the auction house, it is the same, there is no connection, and this small bowl cannot be made to become a recognized Kangxi official kiln, even if it is sent to auction, it may not be sold at a high price.
In October 2005, Sotheby's Hong Kong auctioned the imperial enamel color "Gu Yuexuan" inscription poem flower stone brocade chicken amphora, which was said to be a special toy fired by Emperor Qianlong, and was sold for 115 million Hong Kong dollars at the Hong Kong auction.
In fact, this porcelain vase was auctioned at Christie's in London in 1975 and sold for £16,000 at that time, a 515-fold increase in 30 years.
This kind of price increase is absolutely abnormal, it can only be said that in seventy-five years, this treasure is seriously underestimated, of course, this has the effect of rising prices and antiques in the past thirty years, but no matter how much it increases, it is impossible to increase the value so outrageously, there is also a recognized factor.
Now Meng Guangtao is afraid that his small bowl will not be recognized, and if it cannot be recognized by those senior appraisers in the antique shop, it is unlikely to be auctioned at a high price, which is an important reason why he is reluctant to send it to auction.
Han Peacock didn't know these factors, and when he heard Meng Guangtao ask him to find a buyer, he thought that he was preparing for more roads.
Although he told Fat Liu, he didn't take it seriously, because he wanted something so good, Meng Guangtao would soon be able to find a buyer, so even if he helped find a buyer, it was likely to be useless, but now Han Peacock didn't think so a little.
Thinking about reminding Fat Liu again and asking him to seriously look for a buyer, Han Peacock was walking towards Fat Liu's stall, and when he walked over there, he found that Fat Liu was not out of the stall at all.
At this moment, his phone rang, and Han Peacock looked at it, but it was Fat Liu: "Brother Liu, why didn't you come out of the stall today?" ”
"Huh? Didn't I tell you? I won't be out of the stall in the future, I'll be an intermediary, or do this promising, I said Xiao Han, the picture of the small bowl you sent me is real, right?
I'm serious, I contacted a few buyers today, and they're looking for someone to look at those photos, and if it's okay, they're going to make a bid, and if you fool me, I can't spare you. Fat Liu's neutral voice came from the phone.
Han Peacock couldn't laugh when he heard it, just now Meng Guangtao asked him to find a buyer, and this helper is now begging him, it seems that this intermediary is really a good job.
"There's no problem with that little bowl at all, but you really won't be out of the stall in the future? Just point to being a middleman to eat? Han Peacock said.
Fat Liu said: "How much money can I make from the stall?" I don't have the skills to pick up the slack? Now leave professional things to professional people to do, like you have the ability to pick up leaks, you will give me a treasure hunt, I have no ability, I have to give full play to my strengths, help you do a good job of logistics.
Now these days, the fragrance of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, you have found the baby, I will give you a high price to operate out, so that both of us buddies can live and moisturize, isn't this bad? ”
Through Meng Guangtao's incident that he can't sell his baby this time, Han Peacock really has some ideas, and like Meng Guangtao, there are no treasures in his hands, and how many people are not recognized for various reasons?
At least it turned out that Han Peacock had heard that someone had donated antiques to the museum, but the museum didn't want them, so he dropped the antiques in a fit of anger, and after he fell, he found out that it was really genuine.
And this kind of thing, Han Peacock has not heard of it once, in addition to this, there are also some black-hearted appraisers, who talk nonsense with their eyes open, and devalue some precious antiques to worthless, so as to make black-hearted money.
If Fat Liu really wants to do this, maybe it's really a way out, and now he really wants to be a professional antique agent like Fat Liu, he really hasn't heard of it, maybe this industry is very promising.
"Well, if you want, you can rest assured, the little bowl is still in his owner's hand, and if you find a buyer, the price is right, and you can see the goods at any time.
But you have to make it clear first, although the picky is the real buyer, but we look at the goods and pay, the buyer can only look at the goods, can not speak, after reading, willing to buy the deal, not willing to shoot two scattered, we middlemen do not participate, save trouble. Han Peacock said.
Fat Liu said with a smile over there: "I didn't expect you Xiao Han to think very carefully, I understand this, there are many things in the antique shop, and those rich people will definitely bring experts over to carefully appraise."
I will tell them the rules in advance, see if you can, if you have reservations, this will be our rules in the future, buying and selling is not benevolent, you don't want to turn around and go, any questions, we are not obliged to explain to them, you think this is okay, right? ”
Any antique, if you pick the thorns carefully, it is possible to find faults, if the buyer asks their appraiser to pick the thorns, the seller may be confused, and thus the price will be lowered, and now Han Peacock wants to eliminate this possibility in advance.
"If you think about it carefully, try to minimize the trouble, this kind of large transaction, if you are not careful, it will leave trouble." Han Peacock said.
Fat Liu said: "Don't worry, if you contact the buyer, we will sign a formal transfer contract, otherwise I won't give the buyer and seller a line, if they negotiate the business, and leave us alone, then how much do we owe?" ”
Han Peacock was right to think about it, if this was the case, they really couldn't do anything to the two sides: "Since we have signed a formal contract, we have even paid the taxes, and we are not short of that money." ”
"Hehe, I thought about it a long time ago, I will register a company, sign a contract in the name of the company, and pay less taxes." Fat Liu said with a smile.
Han Peacock really didn't think so carefully, seeing that Fat Liu thought so much, it seemed that he was really serious, so he was also relieved.
"You can do this, anyway, it's easy for us to get money, but we can't put ourselves in it." Han Peacock said.
As soon as he heard this, Fat Liu was happy: "If this is better than the sale, it is really easy to get money, you just need to stabilize the buyer, and other things will depend on me." ”
Hung up the phone, Han Peacock was very happy, Meng Guangtao didn't find a buyer, if Fat Liu did it, it would be a commission of several million, and he was going to sell the blood jade Guanyin! Now it seems that there is no need, and there is no hurry to sell it, so it is natural to inquire about the price of Xueyu Guanyin.
Thinking of this, Han Peacock reacted, he didn't know that it didn't matter, Fat Liu must know it!
Why did he forget to ask him just now, thinking of this, Han Peacock wanted to call him and ask, but after thinking about it, anyway, he was not in a hurry now, so he would wait for Lao Meng's small bowl to be disposed of.
After making the call, Han Peacock saw that he walked into the second-hand book market, it turned out that he often came here, and his nameless ancient book was found here.
I didn't see a good thing that could have been picked up by him this morning, and since he was here, he might as well see if there were any ancient books here.
Han Peacock squatted down by a bookstall at random, and looked at it casually, there were no good things here, most of them were shabby novels, and there were even a lot of expired impurities, and there were all kinds of youth digests.
Han Peacock picked up a copy casually, but it was a secretary who taught qigong, this version was a product of the 80s and 90s, when qigong was in full swing, when all kinds of qigong masters were like carp crossing the river, and various versions of qigong books were also printed in large quantities.
