Chapter 4: Buy and Sell

"Young man, you have to see clearly." Qian Zhengtai reminded again. Although doing this is a bit unruly, he does not want customers to be fooled by others in his store.

"Boss Qian, beauties, don't worry, I have my own ideas." Qin Xuebing knew very well the mystery of this inner-domestic plum vase. It is probably difficult to convince the public. It is not entirely true that it is a fake. To be precise, it is a residual product.

After exploration of the vital energy, the plum bottle in the inner palace was divided into two parts: the bottle mouth was thin and the bottle body was rich. After exhausting the vital energy, the jade pen also made a judgment. The bottle mouth was only 94 years old and was in the Republic of China. The bottle body had a history of 590 years, which was during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.

In other words, the body of this inner-domestic plum vase is real, and the mouth of the bottle was made during the Republic of China period. The inner-domestic plum vase is a residual product, and its value is greatly reduced. However, Qin Xuebing believes that no matter how much it is discounted, its value is far more than 100,000, and it will not be less than one million.

"Young man, why don't you give 50,000?" Grandma Liu didn't know the mystery in the plum bottle. Many experts said that it was only worth a few thousand yuan after reading it, so Qin Xuebing offered 100,000 yuan, and she felt embarrassed to take it, but she really needed 50,000 yuan to buy medicine for her husband.

Qin Xuebing suddenly felt that compared to the simplicity of the old lady, he seemed very despicable. But then again, there was a mystery in the plum bottle. How many people could know before the mystery was revealed?

If Grandma Liu sells it for a few thousand yuan in despair, it would be a big loss: "Grandma Liu, antiques are worthless in the eyes of people you don't like, but in the eyes of people you like, it is worth a thousand yuan, and 100,000 yuan is not expensive. Do you want cash or bank transfer?"

"Young man, you are a good person, please transfer money." Grandma Liu's tears fell down. With this money, she could buy good medicine for her husband, so her husband would not have to be so painful.

"Okay, let's go to the bank." Qin Xuebing put the plum bottle back into the carton and asked Grandma Liu to hold it. Although he was embarrassed to let the old man take the things, the transaction was not completed and it was not appropriate for him to hold it.

"I thought this guy was very smart, but I didn't expect that he was as stupid as a pig. I was cheated by him." Qian Beibei was in a bit complicated. On the one hand, he thought Qin Xuebing was very stupid, and on the other hand, he thought Qin Xuebing was very good. As Grandma Liu said, he was a good person, a stupid person.

"This young man is very good." Qian Zhengtai admired Qin Xuebing very much. He believed that Qin Xuebing must have seen the tricks of Mei Ping and was willing to spend 100,000 yuan to help Grandma Liu. This kindness is quite rare.

"Grandma Liu, my three sons don't care about you. What are your plans in the future?" Qin Xuebing helped Grandma Liu and said gossip.

"What else can you plan? One day after another, it's all fate." Grandma Liu sighed, raising a child to prevent old age, but in the end, it's better to have no son.

"Isn't your daughter very filial? You can live with your daughter."

"My daughter is married to someone else's family. It makes sense to live with her daughter, and it's not easy for me..." Grandma Liu opened up again. Her daughter married an honest husband. Although she has a good character, she has no ability. She can often come to see the elderly and is already very considerate with her.

Although my daughter didn't give much money, the old couple picked up some garbage and sold it, so they didn't worry about starving to death. But recently, Grandma Liu's wife fell ill and heard the doctor say that she would have to pay about 50,000 yuan for treatment, so she thought about selling the plum vase in the inner palace.

"This plum vase is the hope for the old couple to treat diseases and retire in their old age." Qin Xuebing sighed secretly. Although picking up bargains in the antique market is a skill, he always feels heavy when picking up the hope of two old people's life in their later years.

"Grandma Liu, do you have any old items in your house?" Qin Xuebing quickly made up his mind and sold the plum vases in the inner palace. He took the opportunity of collecting antiques at home to give a sum of money, so that the two old people could have a support and earn a sum of money himself, striving to create a win-win situation.

Grandma Liu thought for a while and said, "There are really old objects, which are a small bag of copper coins left by my father-in-law, but they are all rusted and are not worth much."

"Grandma Liu, this is hard to say. Some copper coins are thrown away but no one picks up them, but some copper coins can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan. Why don't you give me the address and I'll go to your house tomorrow?"

After getting the account at the bank, Qin Xuebing brought Grandma Liu into the car again, and then returned to Sifang Pavilion with the plum bottle in the inner palace: "Boss Qian, beauties Beibei, we're meeting again."

"Oh, why is the great man back?" Qian Beibei was angry when she saw Qin Xuebing. She had already advised him, but she was foolishly foolishly.

"Of course I have to come back, otherwise who would I sell this inner-domestic plum vase to?" Qin Xuebing smiled and put the carton on the counter.

"No!" Qian Beibei snorted heavily. Although this inner-domestic plum vase had the best counterfeiting ability, it was too classic to take action if it was collected.

This is like collecting a "Yuan Blue and White Guiguzi Down the Mountain". No matter how real the imitation is, shoppers will not think it is true. They can only be traded as handicrafts, and they can't even sell it.

"Beibe beauty, look at it again, maybe you will like it."

Qin Xuebing knew that the beauty had already preconceived her idea of ​​this, and that she had to change her impression of the plum bottle in the inner palace to reach a deal, so she brought a cup from Sifang Pavilion and covered the plum bottle in the inner palace: "Don't look at the bottle mouth."

"Yes, if you don't look at the bottle mouth, even first-class ceramic appraisal experts will think this is a genuine product."

Qian Zhengtai said: "But it can't be true or fake, and the fake can't be true. As long as the bottle mouth is still there, it can't be a genuine product."

"What if I remove the bottle mouth?" Qin Xuebing asked.

"Remove the bottle mouth, remove the bottle mouth..." Qian Zhengtai was stunned. If the bottle mouth was removed, it would undoubtedly be a genuine product.

"What do you mean is this a residue product that lacks the bottle mouth. Now the bottle mouth was made during the Republic of China?"

Qian Beibei also reacted, but shook her head and denied: "Who is so bored? Even if the plum vase in the inner palace of Yongle Ming Dynasty is a residual product, it is a treasure. If you make a fake bottle mouth, it will actually damage the value of the plum vase."

"Then I have to ask the person who made the bottle mouth."

"It's the same as it is." Qian Beibei snorted again, not believing in Qin Xuebing's imaginary words.

"You'll know if it's done or not."

Qian Zhengtai also wanted to verify it, so he quickly prepared the ingredients and quickly brought a pot of hot thick tea, poured some unknown liquid into the thick tea: "Young man, turn the plum bottle upside down and insert the bottle mouth into the water."

Qin Xuebing did as he did. Qian Zhengtai and Qian Beibei were both staring at the plum vase in the inner palace with great nervousness. If it was fake, it would be okay, but if it was true, it would mean that they missed this big leak and then had to buy it for a high price. Is there anything more miserable in the world than this?

It cannot be true or fake. Under the influence of hot air and special tea, the mouth of the plum bottle will fall off automatically with a click.

"It's true, I'll be shocked." Qian Zhengtai was extremely depressed. After playing with antiques for decades, his eyesight was not as good as a young man. It was really depressing.

"Once upon a time, there was a real plum vase in the inner palace in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. I regretted it until I lost it. This is the most painful thing in the world."

Qian Beibei said Stephen Chow's line depressedly: "If God can give me a chance to do it again, I will say three words to the inner-domestic plum vase, I love you."

Qin Xuebing said with a hilarious look: "God has given you a chance, let me send the plum vase back to the inner palace."

Qian Beibei shouted: "How can it be the same? Can you sell it for 100,000 yuan?"

Qin Xuebing gave her a roll of eyes and added two words: "Dream."

Qian Zhengtai patted Qin Xuebing on the shoulder and sighed: "Young man, you are really good. You can recognize the plum vase that is disguised like this."

"Boss Qian, you don't have to mind. I'm just lucky." Qin Xuebing knew that Qian Zhengtai felt bad. If it were him, he wouldn't feel bad. He let go of such a big leak in vain.

"It is your ability to see that this kind of disguise is your ability, and there are only five plum vases left in the world in the inner palace, and it is also a merit to let you discover one."

Qian Zhengtai also figured it out and could find out the mystery. It was Qin Xuebing's ability and could not envy it. Moreover, Qin Xuebing sent the plum vase back again. As long as it was suitable for hype, he could make a return: "Young man, if you want to sell this plum vase in the inner palace, just offer a price."

"Boss Qian, you should offer the price. I don't know much about the price of porcelain." Qin Xuebing said.

Qian Zhengtai stretched out two fingers: "Two million, what do you think?"

"Boss Qian, four of the five inner-domestic plum vases were collected by the museum, and only one left was left outside. They were photographed last year. If I remember correctly, the transaction price was 8.2 million, right?" Qin Xuebing shook his head and said, the price of two million was really too low.

"You should know that the antique industry should pay attention to integrity. The difference is one cent, and the price difference is a thousand miles. Besides, your inner-domestic plum vase has a total of less than the entire bottle mouth, and two million is no less."

"Boss Qian, if it is a whole appliance, the transaction price of the plum bottle in the inner palace will not be less than 15 million yuan. There is also a missing mouthful of the bottle on the shot, which is a residual product."

"That piece only lacks one hole, but your piece lacks the entire bottle hole." Qian Zhengtai refused to let him go.

"The entire bottle mouth is missing, but the shape of the instrument is not affected, and the price difference cannot be as huge as six million." Qin Xuebing knew a little about the rules in the antique industry. If he wanted to raise the price, he had to explain the reasons and could not make any mistakes out of nothing.

This is also a good way of communication and can enhance both parties' understanding of antiques.

"Young man, don't forget that the plum vase in the inner palace of Yongle in Ming Dynasty is equipped with a bottle cap. The one on the photo had a bottle cap, but you didn't have this one." Qian Zhengtai looked proud. The bottle and the bottle cap were the same. The lack of the bottle cap was like another missing bottle mouth.

"Boss Qian makes sense. If the bottle mouth and bottle cap are missing, they will damage the value of the plum bottle in the inner palace. Don't forget its existence."

Qin Xuebing laughed: "Although there are six pieces in the world, four of them are collected by the museum, and only two are circulated among the people, which is almost equivalent to an isolated tool. It is hard to find. If it is given to the auction and hype it properly, what price do you think you can get?"

"Okay, I'll add another 500,000." Qian Zhengtai was speechless and could only take a step back.

"Three million and five million, less than this price, I will leave immediately."

"Boy, you're too dark."

"If you give an auction, I don't think it's lower than this price."

"The auction will require a handling fee of more than 12% and up to 3 million yuan. If you don't sell it, you can leave."

"You're so happy, wouldn't it be enough?" Qin Xuebing laughed. With these three million, he could change his residence and create a better living environment for the old man, unlike now, where the grandfather and grandson were crowded in a small single room less than 30 square meters.

"Babe, I signed the contract with this kid and transferred the money by the way." Qian Zhengtai was still a little depressed. He had the opportunity to buy it at a low price, so why did he waste a huge sum of three million yuan?

"I originally thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect it, hum." Qian Beibei took out the contract with an unhappy look. When she scolded Qin Xuebing for being stupid, she also secretly praised this guy.

"Beautiful Beautiful, I only have 120,000 yuan on my body. How much do you think I can buy it?"

Qin Xuebing corrected: "And if I don't buy it, how much do you think this plum vase can be sold? If you spend a few thousand yuan, then Grandma Liu will lose a lot."

Qian Beibei thought about it, and in the antique circle, it is a skill to be able to pick up bargains. Qin Xuebing is already very kind to buy it for 100,000 yuan. However, because of the missed incident, he still hummed unhappily: "Anyway, you are not a good person."

"Okay, I'm not a good person." Qin Xuebing didn't want to bicker with beautiful women. He was so angry that he would be too angry if he lost. He was so bad that he could not speak well. Anyway, men were always at a loss.

After clearing the money and goods, Qin Xuebing said again: "By the way, Bebe Beauty, can I buy back the black glaze rust-stained plum bottle of Jincizhou Kiln?"

"You are willing to sell the fine products like the plum vase in the Ming Yongle inner mansion. Why do you do it when you change that thing?" Qian Beibei looked at him strangely.

"That was the first time I picked up a bargain, so I wanted to take it back for collection." Qin Xuebing was a little reluctant to leave it when he sold it, but under the circumstances at that time, cash was obviously more important.

"Okay, 180,000." Qian Beibei said.

"180,000? Didn't you say the transaction price was 150,000?"

"That's right, 150,000 is the normal transaction price, but this is your first time to get a bargain, and it's very meaningful to collect it. Of course, I have to raise the price." Qian Beibei giggled, and finally found an opportunity to take revenge on this guy.

"You are cruel, you are a tyrant businessman!" Qin Xuebing transferred 180,000 yuan in depression, and finally brought back his black wheel bottle.

Before leaving, Qian Zhengtai said again: "Xiao Qin, you are also a person in the circle. At 3 o'clock the day after tomorrow, I have a small antique exchange meeting here. Are you interested in participating?"

"Of course, thank you Boss Qian." Qin Xuebing knew very well that this was an opportunity. It would be beneficial for him to get to know more people in the circle in the future.

"Then let's make up. Remember to come over on time and wait for the time being." Qian Zhengtai said.

When Qin Xuebing left, Qian Beibei asked, "Grandpa, will we have a communication meeting the day after tomorrow? Why don't I know?"

"I'm going to take action against the plum vase of the inner mansion the day after tomorrow."

Qian Zhengtai laughed: "That boy picked up a vacancy in front of us, and he deliberately ran back and angered our grandfather and grandson. When we turned around, we would sell the plum vase in the inner palace to a high price, which would make the boy so that he could know that Jiang is old."

"Grandpa, your desire for revenge is too strong." Qian Beibei couldn't help but feel funny. She felt like her grandfather was like an old naughty boy. She was angry for a while and immediately thought about getting angry.

But then again, Qin Xue is really not doing this. In the antique circle, if you pick up bargains in a certain store, you usually won’t make any noise, otherwise it would be like someone selling them to you, but you say in person that they are not good at eyesight, isn’t that slap people in the face?
