Antique Dealer

Chapter 230 The First Mission

Qian Run was very surprised when he heard his mother's words: "I heard that her nephew is only in his twenties. Even if he is in the antique business, how powerful can he be?"

Seeing what her son said, Aunt Zhang waved her hand: "Why do you care so much? Anyway, it doesn't cost money to let him look at it. If it's an obvious fake, we don't need to find someone else to identify it. We can return it directly, so we don't have to buy it again." Waste of money."

Qian Run was very speechless to his mother. After all, he didn't want to spend money on the appraisal: "Then when will you go?"

Aunt Zhang said that the person should have not arrived yet, so wait at home for a while.

The mother and son were waiting in the living room. Aunt Zhang went to the balcony to look at it from time to time. Qian Run sat on the sofa and watched his mobile phone, laughing at funny jokes from time to time.

Seeing her son like this, Aunt Zhang muttered from time to time, stop looking at her phone all the time, exercise more, socialize more, and then she started to complain about her wife, who knew how to play chess with others in the park all day long, even at home.

After that, he started to talk about his grandson's study problems again, muttering a lot, and Qian Run got used to it, and it went in one ear and out the other, and after so many years, it didn't affect him anymore.

Aunt Zhang went to the balcony again, and saw Han Liyun walking in with a young man who looked like Zhao Lei, talking and laughing, and said to her son, "I'm back, let's get ready."

Qian Run put down his phone, saw a bag of freshly bought oranges on the coffee table, got up and picked it up.

Aunt Zhang looked a little unhappy: "Why, you still bring something?"

Qian Run said: "You can't go empty-handed, it's impolite to spread the word."

Aunt Zhang hesitated to speak, muttered a few words in her mouth, walked to the door and eavesdropped for a while, until the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs, she opened the door and signaled her son to follow.

Fang Hao followed his aunt into the door, greeted his uncle, and felt that someone was coming from behind. Looking back, it was a pair of mother and son.

Aunt Zhang took the initiative to say hello: "Li Yun, this is your nephew, he looks really energetic!"

Han Liyun was a little surprised. Why did the mother and son come to the door suddenly? She said a few words politely, and then introduced each other: "Sister Zhang, what's the matter with you?"

Aunt Zhang sighed: "Hey, for some reason, my daughter-in-law bought a bracelet for [-] yuan after watching the live broadcast. I was worried. Didn’t you say before that Xiao Fang was in the antique business, so we came here and asked Xiao Fang to take a look.”

Now people are more and more familiar with online live streaming, and selling jade and jade live is even more dazzling.

As for whether it is reliable to sell jade through webcasting, everyone has their own opinions, and there are endless debates on this issue.

Some people believe that selling jadeite live is trustworthy, because they don’t think they will make fun of their reputation, especially some famous Internet celebrities, and it is more intuitive to watch jadeite through live broadcasting.

Others believe that selling jadeite live is very unreliable. The so-called wool comes from the sheep, and the seller can't make a loss-making business.For some Internet celebrities, they may also disregard the feelings of fans for their own interests, such as shoddy jadeite products.

The most important point is, how to ensure that the jadeite in the video is the same as the jadeite product you received?
Fang Hao feels that there are too many ghosts and monsters on the Internet these days, and he would not buy expensive things online unless he has a strong endorsement.At the same time, the precious antiques in his hands will only be displayed on the Internet. If they want to trade, they should do so in person to avoid trouble as much as possible.

Having been a neighbor for many years, Han Liyun has a good understanding of Aunt Zhang's behavior. She knows that Aunt Zhang likes to take advantage of things, but also likes to be troublesome.

Therefore, she was actually not very happy to ask Fang Hao to help with this.It's just that Aunt Zhang has come to the door, and it's not easy to refuse, otherwise, in a short time, there will probably be bad words in the community.

Fang Hao noticed that there was a trace of entanglement in his aunt's expression, and he immediately understood that this Aunt Zhang should not be easy to get along with. This was not beyond his expectation, because the moment Aunt Zhang spoke, the system immediately Remind him that the target of the mission is the mother and child.

Speaking of which, he didn't react until he accepted the task. The system didn't even tell him who the client was, how did he know whether he had completed the task?
Now it seems that the system is quite normal, and listening to the conversation, this Aunt Zhang learned that he was in the antique business from her aunt, so she thought of asking for an appraisal. It seems to be quite normal, and I don’t know if it is true affected by the system.

Perhaps, the system just affected him, and someone will come to him for identification today?

These distracting thoughts disappeared in a flash, and Zhao Shuo said: "Come in and talk about it."

Han Liyun also reacted and warmly invited everyone into the house.

A group of people came to the living room and sat down one after another. Qian Run put the oranges on the coffee table, and Zhao Shuo greeted them again politely.

"Where is the bracelet?" Fang Hao asked.

Qian Run took out the box containing the bracelet, put it on the coffee table and opened it: "That's it."

Fang Hao took the bracelet in his hand and began to observe carefully.In fact, he could tell at a glance what quality this bracelet was, but he still had to make a serious gesture, otherwise he would just show the appraisal result casually, even if the result was correct, the client would probably feel that, He didn't take it seriously, and he felt dissatisfied.

After a while, Fang Hao raised his head and asked Qian Run: "Did sister-in-law tell me what kind of jade it is?"

"She said that it seems to be ice waxy seeds." Qian Run was a little nervous, for fear that Fang Hao would say it was fake.

Aunt Zhang immediately took over the conversation and said, "Is there a problem?"

Fang Hao looked at Aunt Zhang's eagerness to try, and combined with what he said just now, it seemed that he wished that the bracelet was wrong.

The current appraisal is related to whether his task can be completed, he has to think about it, how to say it.

"Auntie, I want to ask you a question, how much do you know about jadeite?"

"Emerald is a kind of jade, right?" Aunt Zhang was still a little surprised, why didn't this young man tell the result, why did he ask this matter?
Fang Hao then asked: "Do you know the effect of wearing jadeite?"

Aunt Zhang thought for a while and replied, "It should be safe."

Fang Hao chuckled: "That's right, the so-called emerald body protection is safe for life, wearing gold is rich, and wearing jade is safe. From ancient times to the present, jade can exorcise evil spirits, protect the body from disasters, and make the wearer satisfied, auspicious, safe and smooth. It is said that if worn for a long time, the minerals inside the emerald can also nourish people for life, and the benefits are self-evident.

In addition, let me ask you another question, do you know that jadeite has other values? "

Aunt Zhang became a little impatient: "Oh, just say it straight, we came to you because we didn't understand."

Fang Hao said with a little exaggeration: "In addition to what I just said, natural jadeite also has a certain collection value and value preservation. Now jadeite raw materials are rising steadily. One of the reasons is that jadeite resources are getting less and less. The second is that jadeite It has become the beginning of green fashion, and more and more people like natural jadeite.

In particular, gem-grade jadeite is hard to come by, and the price of high-end jadeite products has also hit high repeatedly. Its value-added speed is incomparable with other investment types such as antiques, stamps, calligraphy and paintings.Let's take this bracelet as an example. It is made of ice-glutinous species, and its water head and other aspects are very good. But ten years ago, it could be bought for one or two thousand, but now it has increased by more than ten times. There are several investment channels , can appreciate so much? "

After hearing Fang Hao's explanation, Qian Run was very happy: "In other words, this bracelet is not expensive at [-]?"

Fang Hao nodded: "It's definitely not expensive, and I made a small profit."

Aunt Zhang frowned when she heard the word "small profit", "Then how much is it worth?"

Fang Hao said: "Generally speaking, between [-] and [-] is appropriate."

The smile on Qian Run's face was wider and happier.

Aunt Zhang put on a skeptical look: "Is it really worth so much?"

Seeing his mother like this, Qian Run immediately became a little unhappy, but he didn't explode out of consideration because of the wrong occasion.

Fang Hao has been able to determine what Aunt Zhang's idea is, and he has also thought of a countermeasure in his mind: "I can be responsible for the estimated price I gave. If it is lower than this price, you can come to me and I can buy it for you." .”

Aunt Zhang's eyes lit up, and she was about to speak, but her son stopped her.

Aunt Zhang gave her son a hard look, and then told everyone that they had something to discuss, and she dragged her son out of the house.

When the mother and son went out, Qian Run said angrily, "I don't agree!"

Aunt Zhang frowned and said, "You don't even know what I want to say, so you don't agree!"

Qian Run snorted angrily: "Needless to say, you must want to sell the bracelet!"

"Why don't you sell it!"

Aunt Zhang said angrily: "Do you think I really don't understand? The price of jadeite used to rise very fast, but it has risen more and more slowly over the years. Besides, it is too troublesome to realize jade, so let's say you Auntie, the previous Hetian jade bracelet cost more than 3 yuan in the mall, but she sold it for 1 yuan and no one wanted it. In the end, she only sold it for more than [-] yuan, which is almost the price she paid for it.”

"Our family is not short of money, so why sell it? Wouldn't it be good for Xiaojuan to wear it?"

"Tch, such an expensive thing, what if it breaks if bumped?"

"Sold it, how can I explain to Xiaojuan?" Qian Run still disagreed.

Aunt Zhang said earnestly: "Hey, you are a deadhead. I'm not saying that I won't let you buy jewelry for Xiaojuan, but don't buy such flashy ones. It's so good to buy gold jewelry. It's beautiful and keeps its value. It's no better than this emerald. Is the bracelet much better? If you don’t listen to the old man’s words, you’ll be at a disadvantage, you, you’d better listen to me, sell the jade bracelet, and go buy gold jewelry.”

Qian Run remained silent, and Aunt Zhang patted him on the shoulder: "That's the deal."

After finishing speaking, she walked back again, and Qian Run hurriedly followed.

Aunt Zhang said with a smile: "Xiao Fang, you just said that this bracelet can be worth [-] to [-] yuan, right?"

"Yes." Fang Hao nodded.

"Can you give me an exact price? For example, twenty-eight thousand or something."

Fang Hao said bluntly: "Do you want to ask, how much will I pay for it?"

Aunt Zhang smiled embarrassedly.

Fang Hao said with a smile: "Let me use an example. If I bought it for 2 yuan, I might sell it without too much trouble when I go back. It can be sold, but it takes time to find a suitable buyer.”

"I just want to make money, so hypocritical!"

Aunt Zhang murmured in her heart, with a flattering smile on her face: "I know this matter is troublesome to you, why don't you help us and buy it, just give me [-] yuan!"

Han Liyun and Zhao Shuo shook their heads inwardly as they watched. Aunt Zhang still likes to take advantage of her as always. They really don't want Fang Hao to agree.

Fang Hao was silent for a moment, then shook his head and sighed: "Well, if it were someone else, I would definitely only spend [-] yuan. After all, I have to live, but who told you that you and my aunt are old neighbors? I'll help with that."

Speaking of which, if it wasn't for completing the task, he wouldn't want to trade with Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang was elated and thanked repeatedly.

After Fang Hao paid the money, the task was completed immediately. After he received the reward, an appraisal experience book immediately appeared in the system space.
