Rebirth: I am a first-line antique dealer

Chapter 30: Entering Beijing and earning another 180 W

Ding Maozai called Cui Hao and explained his intention to enter Beijing in advance and change transportation.

Cui Hao didn't have any objections. As for the car, he could get it, so Ding Mao neither rented nor bought it.

On this day, Cui Hao's family of three, Ding Mao, his father, and Yu Zejun drove to Beijing.

Cui Hao was driving, and his wife was sitting in the passenger seat. Ding Xian and Yu Zejun had a good relationship in the countryside, so they sat in the back seat and talked. Ding Mao and Cui Miao sat in the two middle seats, talking and laughing all the way. , all this was seen by Cui's mother.

It's not that she doesn't like Ding Mao, on the contrary, she likes it very much, but after all, Cui Miao and Ding Mao are not suitable for dating at the age now, and they are more afraid of delaying her daughter's studies, so she always winks at Cui Hao, but Didn't get much response.

After driving for more than five hours, they finally arrived in Beijing, and Li Mingliang was already waiting for them at the place they had reserved in advance.

"Hello third uncle, hello all uncles and aunts!"

After Li Mingliang greeted everyone, he asked Ding Mao: "Xiao Mao, should we go to the boss first or go to the hotel first?"

"Go to that boss first!"

Ding Mao thought for a while and decided to deal with the matter first. After all, it's not right to always have such a chair in the car, and he didn't feel at ease!

"Okay, then let's go to his place first, and when we get to the price, shout it out loud. Try to shout it for more than 100!"

Since you have decided to sell the goods first, you must have something to tell you in advance!

"I understand, brother, don't worry!"

"Well, let's go then!"

Under the leadership of Li Mingliang, several people came to the boss who wanted to buy the top spot!

This boss didn't have any airs. Because Li Mingliang called in advance, he led people outside to greet him early.

Ding Mao opened the trunk and took down the chair. He hesitated and took the pen holder with him!

The boss saw the chair in Ding Mao's hand at a glance and was very satisfied.

Several people came to the spacious living room, and as soon as they sat down, someone brought tea.

Li Mingliang winked at Ding Mao and told him to wait a moment, then he went to discuss with the boss first.

"Mr. Liu, did you see something? How is it?"

Li Mingliang asked first as soon as he entered the room.

"It's very good. You've got a good handle on it. It's natural. It looks like an old item at first glance, and the pattern is beautiful. All the parts are still in working order. I'm very satisfied!"

Mr. Liu was very satisfied and even looked slightly excited.

"Of course, I didn't even dare to let my uncle know about such a good item, so I brought it directly to you!"

Li Mingliang said this deliberately, which meant that while selling well, it also reminded her uncle that if he knew about this thing, he would definitely not let it go.

"Reliable, if the purchase is completed later, your boy's benefits will be indispensable!"

This is the rule of the old antique shop. There is no reason for middlemen to run errands in vain. Normally, they will get the benefits of both sides.

Li Mingliang was very satisfied when he heard this and asked tentatively: "Okay, then I will call him in?"

Mr. Liu quickly waved to stop him: "Don't worry, have you ever inquired about how much he wants to sell for, so I can be mentally prepared!"

Li Mingliang nodded knowingly and said, "I really tested it, and I guess the price in his mind is more than 100 million!"

Mr. Liu was silent for a moment thoughtfully, and then said, "Isn't the price low?"

Li Mingliang said quickly: "The key thing is that his stuff is indeed good stuff, and he's not a novice, so it's not easy to fool him."

Seeing that Mr. Liu was still hesitant, he also knew that the richer people like this were, the more careful they were in spending their money. He would have to be convinced if he asked them to spend money.

Then he said: "Mr. Liu also saw the brochure of that auction company at my uncle's place. You see that the Ming Dynasty huanghuali furniture is not valued at tens of millions, even if it is valued at hundreds of thousands, it is still US dollars. !”

When Mr. Liu heard this, he nodded. Li Mingliang hurriedly took advantage of the situation and said: "What's more, the thing I brought is a top one. This thing is very complex in workmanship and its value is high. There used to be people who said it was the top one. This is The utensils of the emperors and nobles are a symbol of status, so buying this is not much better than buying others!"

Mr. Liu listened more and more, and finally made a decision.

"You are the only one who can talk. Let's go and talk outside. Otherwise, it will be disrespectful to leave others alone!"

Li Mingliang naturally had no other objections. Since Ding Mao brought them here together, it proved that they were all relatively reliable people.

The two came to the living room together, and Mr. Liu came directly to Ding Mao and showed a kind smile.

"Little brother, can you open this chair and let me take a look first?"

Ding Mao nodded after hearing this and opened the folded chair for Mr. Liu to observe.

Mr. Liu looked at it carefully, and from time to time Li Mingliang deliberately lowered his voice to comment in his ear.

"Mr. Liu, look at how clear and smooth the texture of this pattern is. It's so beautiful! Look at this work again, it's so meticulous!"

Mr. Liu also nodded in agreement when he heard this.

"The carving is beautiful and the copper work is complete!"

……

The reason why Li Mingliang did this was to interfere with his judgment and to increase his confidence.

Sure enough, after a long time, Mr. Liu showed a satisfied look, straightened up and asked Ding Mao: "Little brother, this thing is good, you see how much you want to sell it, and I will study it after you set a price!"

Ding Mao said calmly without any stage fright: "Hello, Mr. Liu, this chair is of high quality in terms of material, age, craftsmanship, etc. To be honest, I thought the price was more than 200 million! But after all, I took it out all at once. There are relatively few people with so much money, so I thought about it and left some room and prepared to sell it for 180 million!"

This quotation shocked everyone present except Mr. Liu!Especially Cui’s mother, she couldn’t believe it!

After all, Mr. Liu is a businessman. He has experienced negotiations for many years and is well versed in this matter, so his smile does not diminish.

"Little brother, to be honest, the price you quoted is a bit high. I guess it's hard to sell it! See if it can be opened at 150 million. If it can be opened, I can study it!"

Hearing this, Ding Mao shook his head and said: "180 million is actually not high. Furniture has become popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the past two years. Mr. Liu, you will know just by looking at the auction records. In addition, there are still many people who like this chair." , I just showed it to Brother Li first, so I got it to you first!"

The implication is that I know you are not the only one who is looking for this kind of Ming and Qing furniture, Boss Liu. Even if you don’t buy it, there are other Bosses Li and Boss Han who are buying it!

Li Mingliang couldn't help but secretly give him a thumbs up!

Sure enough, Mr. Liu hesitated after hearing this, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, little brother, we won't open 150 million anymore, just 150 million. What do you think?"

Ding Mao still shook his head, saying that the price was still a bit different.

However, Mr. Liu patiently persuaded: "Little brother, even if you get another boss, they may not be able to give you a higher price. Why don't you give in appropriately? It's your first transaction. If you are happy, I might as well make a friend." !"

Ding Mao smiled, took out the huanghuali pen holder and said, "Mr. Liu, to tell you the truth, a good one with such a small huanghuali pen holder now costs 20 or [-] yuan, not to mention such a high-end craftsmanship, which is only used by nobles." But after all, you spoke, so be it, I’ll give you the wrong [-] yuan!”

As Ding Mao guessed, Mr. Liu's eyes immediately lit up when he saw the pen holder, showing emotion.

"Little brother, do you really have a lot of good things? Can you show me the pen holder?"

Ding Mao nodded, put it on the coffee table with a smile, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation.

"Mr. Liu, please taste it!"

In fact, this is also the rule of the antique shop. Do not hand over valuable items directly to avoid damage caused by losing hands on the way, and at the same time, it also clears the responsibilities.

Mr. Liu picked up the pen holder and looked at it carefully.

Li Mingliang was very discerning and quickly reached his ear and whispered to him.

"This is a huanghuali pen holder inlaid with hundreds of treasures. Judging from the style, it should be from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties!"

Mr. Liu also nodded in approval.

"Is it worth 20 as she said?"

Li Mingliang pretended to think about it and said: "About that, it is probably worth more than [-] yuan!"

Mr. Liu nodded, still showing his iconic smile: "Little brother, I am a businessman and I am accustomed to not bargaining when buying things. Don't be angry. Do you think this will work? The chair is 160 million, the pen holder is 10, I How about we all stay?”

Ding Mao pretended to be embarrassed and shook his head: "The price you gave is far different from what I expected. The psychological price is at least 200 million, so you are now 30 short!"

At this time, Li Mingliang also spoke appropriately.

"Brother Ding, you see that Mr. Liu really likes it. Don't go too high on the price. Do you want to do business? You have to be mutually beneficial. After all, this is your first time trading with Uncle Liu. There will be opportunities in the future. No matter how slow you are, I'll help you soon, as long as the water flows slowly!"

Mr. Liu also quickly said: "That's right, little brother, the water flows slowly, give up a sip appropriately!"

Ding Mao pretended to think, and then made a decision as if he was unwilling to do so, and said: "It's 180 million for the two of them together! This really looks at Brother Li's face, and he also wants to make friends with Mr. Liu, otherwise I can't pay this price." I really can’t bear to part with it!”

Mr. Liu seemed to realize that it would be difficult to negotiate the price if he didn't agree to it, so he thought about it and nodded readily: "Okay, since the little brothers have given in, I have to give in too, just 180 million!"
