Antique Dealer

Chapter 112 Help
Zhu Junda was very happy to see Fang Hao. After inviting him to a seat, he made him some tea: "Fang Hao, I have heard about everything that happened in the salon that day. Mr. Zuo and the others praised you very much. Things can’t go, they’re missed.”

Fang Hao smiled modestly: "It's nothing, it just happens to be the meeting."

"You are good in everything, but you are too humble." Zhu Junda smiled and shook his head slightly, saying so, but Fang Hao is still as humble as ever, which is what he appreciates.

As the saying goes, capable people are humble, and incompetent people show off.Powerful people keep a low profile, while useless people show off.Those with connotation are humble, and those who are useless are boastful.

The two chatted for a while, and Fang Hao mentioned the reason for coming: "To tell you the truth, I came here today to ask for your help. My elders have already helped me run the antique shop, and gave me a test, asking me to rely on I can operate normally for one year with my own ability, so I can rest assured that I will take care of it, otherwise the store will be taken back."

He mentioned before that the elders had goods there, and now he came to ask Zhu Junda for help, he had to find a better reason.

Zhu Junda nodded, thinking that this is the normal way of education. Fang Hao's ability to appraise antiques is indeed top-notch, but it doesn't mean that if he is good at appraising antiques, he will be able to run a good antique shop, and Fang Hao is still young after all. , have not even graduated from university, lack social experience, and still need to beat and beat.

Fang Hao went on to say: "My elders told me that my store must be officially opened in one month. The time is relatively tight. I am still a newcomer in the circle. I have no choice but to ask you for help. If you are presumptuous, please help me." You forgive me!"

As the saying goes, if you teach your apprentices and starve your master to death, and you are all in the same industry, if you tell others about your own channels, your own interests will definitely be damaged. Even if Zhu Junda disagrees, Fang Hao can understand.Of course, if Zhu Junda can help, he will be rewarded in the future.

Speaking of which, there are two ways to purchase a large number of antiques sold in antique shops. One is to go to the countryside to shovel land, or to buy from shovel land. Such objects are generally small and not expensive. The ones worth tens or hundreds of yuan are sold. Although the price is not expensive, the accumulation of a small amount makes a lot of money. Over the years, it is a very considerable income.

But if you want to make the antique shop bigger and stronger, the second method is very important, that is to buy from regular acquaintances, the seller finds a good thing, lacks a shipping channel, and just sells it to the owner of the antique shop that he knows well , all happy.

Moreover, fakes are everywhere these days, and this kind of reliable network is getting stronger and stronger. Some antique shop owners don't even accept any things from strangers, but only accept antiques from acquaintances, so that the authenticity rate can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

This is why in the antique business, it is necessary to make friends and accumulate contacts. If the contacts are wide enough, there is no need to worry about the supply of goods.

Fang Hao's current weakness is that he is too young, has entered the industry for too short a time, and has not accumulated many contacts. At this time, he can only ask the old people in the circle to help.

Zhu Junda said with a smile: "It's normal. Like me, my master led me in, and then he handed over all his channels to me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so smooth for so many years. As a result, I was inexperienced at the beginning and suffered a lot, so I can give you two choices now."

Fang Hao straightened his expression: "Say it."

Zhu Junda said: "The first plan, I can contact you with a year's source of goods. After you sell these goods, we can discuss the profit; the second plan, I will introduce you to a friend who has The quality of the goods is high and the price is cheap, you can go to him to get the goods, but I will only greet him, everything else is up to you. Which of these two options do you choose?"

Without even thinking about it, Fang Hao directly made a choice: "I choose the second option."

Zhu Junda's previous words were too obvious, telling him that the rainbow will not be seen without going through the wind and rain, and if he still chooses the first plan, he will look down on himself.

"Okay!" Zhu Junda nodded with a smile. Although Fang Hao's choice was not what he expected, he is still very happy now and treats Fang Hao as one of his own.

After getting the information from Zhu Junda, Fang Hao breathed a sigh of relief. He wants to successfully open a store without relying on the system, and he has taken a crucial step. The next step depends on his own efforts.

As mentioned above, there are two ways for antique shops to purchase antiques. Now that we are in the information society and the Internet is so developed, it is not a waste of resources not to take advantage of the convenience of technology.

According to the information that Fang Hao learned, there are now a group of fixed receiving bosses in various antique exchange groups, antique websites, forums and other places on the Internet.If the value is low, direct express delivery inspection, cash on delivery, if the value is high, simply drive to the door to pick up the goods.

This method has greatly improved the circulation and convenience of antiques, and it is also a very popular method now.However, there are a lot of people selling counterfeit goods online based on fake pictures, and all parties involved in the game, and only those who are engaged in collections can understand the bitterness inside.

Fang Hao has an advantage over others. He has the knowledge and skills of identifying all types of antiques. As long as he is careful, it is difficult to be deceived by others, so he feels that buying antiques in this way can make up for his current disadvantage.

Ever since he thought of using this method to buy antiques, Fang Hao also found some related content on the Internet, but he is still waiting and watching.

In addition, the benefits of his video shooting have begun to appear. Some people have contacted him and sent him photos of the collection, asking him to help identify them. Some people have asked him whether he accepts antiques, and he has replied one by one, but he has not yet met. Reliable, but he believes that as time goes by, the effect will become more and more obvious.

"By the way, a few days ago, Qian Min came to look for me and left some photos." After speaking, Zhu Junda got up and went to the drawer of the counter, took four photos and put them in front of Fang Hao.

Fang Hao picked it up and took a look, and found that the four photos captured various angles of a golden bowl.

The golden bowl in the photo has a protruding mouth, a curved belly, and a round bottom. It is made by hammering.

Hammering is a traditional metal processing process, which refers to a metal processing method that applies pressure to a metal blank to deform it to obtain the desired shape.Beat, knock, and repeat until the shape and decoration of the vessel are formed.Different from the complicated and gorgeous beauty, the simple utensils themselves are full of texture changes on the surface, which makes the metal break away from the cold texture and add more humanistic temperature.

The wall of the device is hammered to make two layers of lotus petals protruding outwards, the foot is rolled along the large opening, and the edge of the sole is decorated with bead patterns for a week.The shape is full and solemn, and the base is Datang Zhenguan, that is to say, this is a gold vessel from the Tang Dynasty, and judging from the various features on the surface of the gold bowl, this gold bowl should be an unearthed cultural relic.
