Rebirth: I am a first-line antique dealer

Weng Zhong originally refers to the statue of the Xiongnu god worshiping the gods. It was introduced into the pass around the Qin and Han Dynasties and used as a palace decoration.

At the beginning, it was made of copper and was called "Golden Man", "Bronze Man", "Golden Di", "Chang Di" and "Xia Di".

But later it specifically refers to the stone statues of cultural relics officials in front of the mausoleum and on both sides of the shrine, also called stone statues. They have become representative objects in upper-class tombs and sacrificial activities over the past 2000 years.

At the same time, it is also the epitome of the imperial guard.

Jade Wengzhong is an accessory used to ward off evil spirits. Jade Wengzhong, Si Nanpei and Gangmao were extremely popular in the Han Dynasty and were all called the Three Treasures to ward off evil spirits.

The styles of Yu Wengzhong in each generation are slightly different, but they are basically the same. Most of them are dressed with hands folded, robes, and straight faces.

The two pieces Ding Mao encountered are closer to the style of the Ming Dynasty based on their style and materials.

It's just that the light in this man's house is too dark, and because the man's house is not far from the restaurant, they haven't driven yet, and they forgot to bring a flashlight when they got out of the car, so Ding Mao had a hard time distinguishing the old from the new!

"Brother, please turn on the light, we can't see the goods under this light!"

The man didn't say much and just turned on the light in the room.

However, the power of this lamp is too low. Although it has some effect, it is not very effective!

"Hey, in order to save some electricity, the brightness of the light bulb is a bit small. Do you think this brightness can be used?"

Ding Mao also shook his head helplessly and said: "Absolutely!"

Hearing this, the man immediately bared his teeth and smiled: "That's good, that's good!"

Still suffering from a headache at this time, Ding Mao looked at it for a while and handed it to Yang Xue.

"I don't see any problem, please take another look!"

And Yang Xue didn't get much rest all night, and her condition at this time was not much better than Ding Mao!

What's more, Ding Mao's ability to identify jade is very limited, and Yang Xue learned from Ding Mao, so his level is naturally not that high!

She looked back and forth for a long time, but couldn't see any problems.

"I see that the craftsmanship is very consistent, so there should be no problem!"

Ding Mao nodded when he heard this, and then asked the man: "Brother, how much do you want to sell these two pieces for?"

The man thought for a moment and said, "This is jade after all. I think it's worth 1000 yuan, right?"

The price the man mentioned is also an itchy price. It is really a leak. If it is fake, it is far from worth the price!

Ding Mao also hesitated for a moment. After all, he was in a bad state. If he misjudged it, he would really lose it!

Although the money is not much to him, it is still earned through hard work!

So to be on the safe side, Ding Mao still had to bargain.

"Brother, the price you want is too high. I can't accept it. Even if I sell it, I may not be able to get it at this price!"

The man didn't react much and just asked: "Then what price can you give me?"

Ding Mao thought for a moment and said, "Together, I can give you 800 yuan!"

But the man stopped and said immediately: "This is not possible. I was wondering if you from other places could give me a higher price, but it is not as high as our local dealers!"

It turns out that after a quotation, the price I gave you was really a bit excessive!

So Ding Mao quickly explained: "Brother, don't be unhappy. We have to make money when collecting things, and we have to be as safe as possible, so the quotation may be too high. Since someone has overpriced them, can you tell them? How much money was given, I will use it as a reference to see if I can add more to you based on theirs!"

Hearing this, the man's expression softened slightly and he said, "They already gave me one thousand, two and three for these two. Do you think you can give me more?"

It was still an uncomfortable price, neither high nor low, so Ding Mao said: "The price they gave is really not low. No matter how high it is, we can't make money. So, you name the lowest price and I'll see if I can Research!"

The man frowned, and although his tone was not impatient, he was a little unhappy.

"You just said we'd like to see how much we can add, but now I have to negotiate the price myself. I'm already asking for 2000 yuan, and you can't give it to me! Then I'll give you another 200 yuan cheaper, or 1800 yuan!"

It was because of the man's attitude that Ding Mao completely let down his guard!

Then the real price negotiation began.

"Brother, 1800 is still a bit high. Let's take 1500 yuan out of it!"

The man immediately showed an expression of understanding.

"I know that you still can't agree to the price I want. Let's not ask for 1500 or 1800 yuan. If it's 1600 yuan, take it if it works. If it doesn't work, take it down!"

Seeing that the man was very determined this time, Ding Mao couldn't talk anymore, so he agreed: "Okay, then it's 1600 yuan!"

In fact, if Ding Mao was in a normal state, he would still be able to see some flaws here, but in his current state, his mind was so confused that he didn't even think of these!

Poor lighting affects your vision and judgment, asking for a price that is neither high nor low makes you itchy and unbearable, someone offering a price makes you mistakenly believe that others are serious about it, and a tough attitude puts you off guard in your heart!

And these and that are all loopholes, especially when someone submits a price. If the door is definitely opened, both of these are considered big leaks, so why didn't they pay for it!

Ding Mao, who was always cautious, really didn't expect this at this time, so he left after paying the money and successfully delivering the transaction!

I went to the drugstore and bought a lot of cold and fever-reducing medicines. Then I got to the car. After taking the medicine, I took out the two jade wengzhongs and prepared to take another look under sufficient light!

However, just this look made Ding Mao sigh helplessly. He had been guarding against hungry wolves for a long time, but he still got bitten!

Noticing that Ding Mao looked wrong, Yang Xue asked quickly.

"What's wrong? Isn't this wrong?"

Ding Mao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I often walk by the river, and my shoes will eventually get wet! This Qin was burned by acid, and the light was not good at the time, so neither of us could see it. You will know it when you see it under sufficient light!" "

With that said, he handed the two Yu Wengzhong to Yang Xue.

Not long after, Yang Xue also frowned deeply.

"It's really sour, so let's go back to him?"

Ding Mao still shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "Why are you refunding me? I'm a person who specializes in this and I can still refund you, so don't even think about it!

Besides, if this thing is true, we can’t get a dime from others when we make money. If we lose money, we should accept it as bad luck and treat it as spending money to teach us a lesson! "

Just by looking at the craftsmanship, you can tell that this is a professional fake mine, and it is purely imitated according to the old craftsmanship!

Yang Xue was still unwilling: "But..."

Ding Mao knew what she wanted to say, so he immediately interrupted: "Nothing, we are both in bad condition today, so we won't accept the goods. Let's go find a place to rest!"
