Antique Dealer

Chapter 61 ask for advice
Su Qihu is really proud of himself recently, the number of followers on his account and the number of videos played are rising steadily, and the interaction is not so unbearable.Of course, there must be credit for the control and review, but everything is developing for the better, and it is indeed real.

For example, the old viewers who supported him in the past have given praise and support, and the fan base has become active again, offering some suggestions for improvement, etc., which made him feel more face.

And all of this is due to Fang Hao's proposal. Although it is only a few words, some things in the world are often like this. If no one advises, it may not be changed in a lifetime.According to the original plan, it is very likely that he persisted for a while before giving up.

Therefore, he is now full of gratitude and enthusiasm to Fang Hao.

Fang Hao said with a smile: "Brother Hu, no matter how polite you are, you will scare me away."

Su Qihu laughed: "It's because I'm too alienated, brother, if there is anything I can help in the future, just say it!"

Fang Hao thought of one thing: "Speaking of which, I really want to ask you for your help. I'm also planning to make a short video. The theme is about popular science on antique appraisal. I wonder if you have any opinions?"

Su Qihu scratched his forehead: "I'm not good at this... antiques or something, buddy, why do you want to make videos of this kind of subject?"

Fang Hao said with a smile: "I am in the antique collection business. Firstly, making videos is a hobby. Second, it can spread some antique culture and improve my reputation by the way. But I didn't expect to make short videos to make money. I just shoot play."

"I didn't expect you to be in the antique business." Su Qihu was somewhat surprised. In his impression, people who collect antiques are generally older, just like his father had several friends who were collectors, and none of them were under the age of 40.

"It's just a small fight, but if you need anything in this area in the future, you can also come to me."

In the antique industry, if you want to talk about business, there are indeed many young people, but those with experience and good eyesight are basically not young.

"Okay!"

Su Qihu nodded and said: "For the shooting of the video, let me help you ask the planner I asked for."

Fang Hao smiled and said: "Okay, I will transfer the fee to you then."

Su Qihu was a little displeased when he heard this: "What is the fee? If you bring this up again, I'll be in a hurry with you!"

"I'll substitute soup for wine, and punish myself!" Fang Hao picked up the bowl and drank the rest of the soup.

While joking, Su Qihu's stewed food also arrived, but after a few strokes, he finished a bowl, wiped his mouth, and said it was ready.

Fang Hao looked at the big guy: "Brother Hu, are you planning to lose weight?"

Su Qihu smiled naively: "Where, I have eaten at Century Forest Park before, and suddenly I really want to eat braised stew here, so I made a special trip to eat a bowl to satisfy my hunger."

"you are awesome!"

Fang Hao has heard a saying before, "Never ask a foodie if he has eaten. This is not a problem for a foodie at all. If you want to ask, just ask if you are full." Now he understands the meaning of this sentence.

Su Qihu said with a smile: "Hey, who made me a foodie! No distance can stop a foodie's yearning for delicious food!"

While the two were talking, Shang Xiaoxuan also finished eating, a total of four bowls.

After eating and drinking enough, everyone checked out and went out. They were a couple. Su Qihu didn't want to be the light, so he bid farewell, and said that he would let the planner come up with a plan as soon as possible, and then contact him at that time.

As soon as he turned around, Su Qihu suddenly thought of something, and quickly turned around and said to Fang Hao: "I almost forgot, I have a custom-made pendant on my car, and I am going to give it to a friend. It costs a total of 160 million. Can't you help me see if it's worth it?"

Shang Xiaoxuan couldn't stop talking in her heart, after all, she is a rich person, and the pendants she gave her friends are so expensive, it's too extravagant.

Fang Hao was also curious about Su Qihu's customized pendant, so he followed Su Qihu to his car.

Su Qihu drove a big G, which matched his figure quite well. He took out a brocade box from the storage box, which contained a dazzling 18k gold inlaid aquamarine pendant.

When Shang Xiaoxuan saw the pendant inside the brocade box, her gaze was attracted and she was very shocked: "Is this an aquamarine? It's so big!"

Aquamarine is a kind of beryl gemstone, among which the light blue one is called aquamarine, and the dark green one is the very famous emerald.

The common aquamarines in the market are almost all light-colored or low-clarity varieties, and the price is not high, and the dark-colored ones only cost tens of yuan per gram.Aquamarines with bright colors and high clarity and transparency are the favorites in the top market, and the price is thousands of yuan per carat.

The aquamarine used in Su Qihu's pendant is not only bright and uniform in color, but also quite large. Fang Hao estimates that it should be more than a hundred carats. Such a large top-level aquamarine pendant is worth only 150 million yuan. It's over.

Sure enough, Su Qihu confirmed that the aquamarine used on the pendant was 149 carats.

"You know how to appraise aquamarine, right?" Fang Hao had an idea when he saw this pendant, so he asked Shang Xiaoxuan to appraise it first, and then explained to Su Qihu that Shang Xiaoxuan was a jewelry designer .

"I know, I know, but I dare not take such a precious pendant." Shang Xiaoxuan smiled shyly.

"There's nothing you dare not take. Even if it falls, it will fall on the car mat. It won't break. You can take it with confidence." Su Qihu generously lifted the box in front of Shang Xiaoxuan.

Seeing Fang Hao nodding to her, Shang Xiaoxuan picked up the pendant with excitement and apprehension. Once she began to carefully appraise it, she became serious, and she seemed to be less nervous than before.

"Generally speaking, it is mainly topaz that is pretending to be aquamarine. After treatment, it looks very similar to aquamarine, but that is only pretending to be a low-end aquamarine. Top aquamarine like this one is bright and blue. , without a brown tone, counterfeit products can’t do this.”

After explaining the authenticity, Shang Xiaoxuan asked again: "Is the designer of this pendant teacher Shi Lingyan? I think it has her own logo on it."

Su Qihu nodded and said, "Yes, I asked her to design it herself."

Shang Xiaoxuan pondered for a moment: "Ms. Shi Lingyan is the top jewelry designer in the country. Her works have sold for more than 1000 million yuan at the auction. Jewelry designed by herself is considered a luxury work of art. Added value will be added. It’s just that I don’t know the value of such a large aquamarine, and I can’t say whether it’s worth 150 million.”

Speaking of this, she looked at Fang Hao, and she had to ask Fang Hao about the price.

Fang Hao nodded: "I remember an auction five years ago, and an aquamarine pendant was also sold, but that aquamarine was 5 carats, a bit bigger than this one, and the transaction price was nearly one million."
