There is definitely some profit, but there are also many disadvantages.

First of all, the antiques resold by colleagues are generally not in good condition, and most of them are tasteless and useless pieces that are a pity to throw away.

The reason is also very simple. People with good quality have already sold them themselves. How can they let you make a lot of money?

Even if something is in good condition, it often comes with a few items that are in poor condition or are extremely unpopular and expensive. If you want them all, don’t want them all? I’m sorry, please go out and turn right.

Today Shen Yu came to Lao Liu to pick up goods. What he wanted to buy was a Qingtian stone seal from the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty.

A customer of Shen Yu asked him to look for the seal on his behalf. The price is between 40,000 and 50,000 yuan, and the maximum cannot exceed 50,000 yuan. For Shen Yu, this is not much money at all.

Shen Yu is so busy that he just wants to maintain a good relationship with his customers. After all, if you don’t have what they want, they won’t take care of your business next time.

Yesterday, Shen Yu and Lao Liu agreed to come over this morning to hand over the money and get the seal.

Shen Yu was very relieved about Lao Liu, because he had bought several small items from Lao Liu before, and the price was as much as he said. The price was fair and he would never raise the price temporarily. After going back and forth, the two of them became friends.

But after Shen Yu came today, he felt like he had eaten a fly.

The quality of the seal was really average, three points worse than he expected.

The printed handwriting is blurry and there is a small bump, which is very different from what Lao Liu described.

You can't lose money if you buy it back for 40,000 yuan, but it's definitely impossible to make money. At most, you can just protect your capital.

What worried Shen Yu the most was that although his client was not short of money, he was very picky and would not even look at things of average quality.

If someone takes a seal to someone, it’s fine if the other person buys it, but if the other person doesn’t buy it, Shen Yu will lose tens of thousands of yuan in his own hands.

Guaranteeing capital on antiques actually means reducing capital, which can easily lead to poor capital turnover.

So Shen Yu frankly expressed his concerns to Lao Liu and decided not to take the seal this time, and then ordered a thousand yuan as compensation for Lao Liu.

Lao Liu also understood Shen Yu's difficulties and did not accept the money at all.

At the same time, he also explained that a friend asked him to sell this Qingtian stone seal. He only saw the condition of this Qingtian stone seal half an hour ago. This is not the fault of Shen Yu, but it is also his friend's failure to explain clearly.

Although Shen Yu was grateful, he felt a little regretful after all, so he decided to repay Lao Liu's favor by randomly selecting a thousand-dollar object from Lao Liu's stall.

But Shen Yu only glanced at Lao Liu's stall and instantly discovered this copy of "Ta Ge Tu".

As long as there is nothing wrong with the next painting, Shen Yu decides to buy it at a casual discount.

When buying antiques, you have to be bold and careful, and make the move when you see the opportunity. Often the seller will change his mind if he hesitates for a moment. You can't forcefully buy if someone doesn't want to sell it, right?

As for whether there was something wrong with picking up food at an acquaintance's stall, Shen Yu didn't have any psychological burden.

He comes from a family of antiques, and it is common for decades-old friends of his grandfather's generation to pick up treasures in each other's stores. After buying something, they would tease each other about their poor eyesight and how they miss treasures all the time.

Of course, no one will be angry, because the moment the antique is placed on the stall, it is actually a leaked treasure. Even if a friend does not buy it, others will buy it.

Of course, after Shen Yu bought it, he also decided to give Lao Liu some compensation, such as buying the Qingtian stone seal and taking it away. Even if the customer doesn't want it, it doesn't matter, just leave it in the store and sell it slowly.

Feeling that everything had been considered, Shen Yu took a deep breath and unfolded the painting...

At this moment, Lao Liu, who was chewing food, suddenly trembled slightly for some reason. In order to hide himself, he turned around and looked at the paper calendar on the stall.

It reads:
