Rebirth: I am a first-line antique dealer

As soon as Boss Gong entered the door, he was deeply shocked by the variety, quantity and exquisiteness of the statues in front of him. The real objects he saw were definitely more exquisite and more visually impactful than those in the videos at that time.

The statues collected by Ding Mao are basically made of various materials, including porcelain, wood, copper, silver, clay gold, gilt, pure gold, jade, etc., and they are all of high quality.

Basically all dynasties are included, including Tang, Song, Liao, Yuan, Ming, Qing, and even a few bench Buddhas from the Northern Wei Dynasty. Of course, most of them are statues of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, especially those of the Qing Dynasty.

The styles are quite comprehensive, including Tibetan, Inner and Inner Mongolia, Nepal, Dali, etc., with different forms.

Of course, some of these were obtained by Ding Mao at auctions and cultural relics shops in his early years, so their origins are very formal. He cherishes his feathers very much and will never put himself in a whirlpool just for small profits.

The main reason is because he has abundant funds. To put it bluntly, he is not short of money.

Moreover, the market conditions were there in the early years, and he knew the approximate price in the future, so there was no reason not to participate in the auction and buy it!

That is to say, the timeline is a bit longer, and the funds on hand are still sufficient, otherwise he would have bought it even if he borrowed money.

He also likes all kinds of statues. The reason why he didn't do much business in his last life was because he didn't understand much. In this life, because he entered the antique shop early, he was exposed to statues early and had friends to teach him. He was also dedicated enough to learn. , Now the level is not low, at least it is difficult to fool him in terms of authenticity, old and new.

Boss Gong is indeed a person who sincerely loves collecting and has a high level of appreciation for art.

He was unwilling to look away from each statue, which was a kind of pilgrimage.

In the end, I always kept saying: "My eyes are open! My eyes are open... and the like!"

And before looking away, he can always accurately tell the approximate year of the statue!

"It's amazing. It's really amazing. It's a masterpiece. No matter the face, shape, lines, charm, etc., it's amazing! It's simply perfect!"

What Boss Gong admired and couldn't stop praising at this time was the only Dehua kiln Guanyin statue made by He Chaozong in Ding Mao's hands.

"This statue of Vajra Haimu is also good..."

"This Yellow God of Wealth..."

"This Mahakala..."

"This happy Buddha..."

"This statue of Tara..."

"This statue of the guru..."

……

Such sounds continued, and Ding Mao also answered patiently.

Boss Gong was shocked and numb: "This sandalwood Buddha statue is rare, and it is such a large gilt statue. It seems to be from the mid-Qing Dynasty, right?"

Ding Mao smiled and nodded: "Yes, this piece is from the mid-Qing Dynasty. It is more than 80 centimeters high. I bought it at an auction two years ago."

Boss Gong said with a smile: "Boss Ding is very powerful and has a very high vision. The transaction price of this statue is not low, right?"

Ding Mao also smiled and nodded: "The transaction price at that time was over one million. The main thing is that although I play a lot of things, such as coins, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, banknotes, silver coins, bronze mirrors, etc., I basically play with other things. It's for profit, but the real intention to collect them is the statues.

I will not hide it from Boss Gong. I have been told by fortune tellers since I was a child that I have a destiny with Buddhism. In the past, I would always receive very beautiful statues when I received goods. Later, gradually, whenever I met a statue that I liked, it would appear in my shop. If it is within the acceptable range, I will find a way to invite you back.

It's just that I couldn't bear to part with it, and I didn't dare to make random donations, so I put them all in this collection room.

Ding Mao knew that Boss Gong hadn't negotiated a deal with him yet, but he probably couldn't help but ask a few people away after all.

Therefore, what he said is also a precaution. Don't wait for the quotation to say that the price is high, because I can sell it or not, and I can collect it myself!

In addition, many of the prices I get from myself are high, and not all are collected from dealers and rural areas, so it is best not to be too stingy when you quote.

After all, these statues are all about fate, and the premise of this fate is that your quotation is reasonable and you are prepared to pay a high price to buy it back!

Otherwise, it’s just for my appreciation!

Boss Gong also heard the hidden meaning and said with a smile: "Brother Ding is generous, no wonder so many good statues are associated with you!"

His title immediately changed from Boss Ding to Brother Ding. This was nothing more than building a relationship and telling Ding Mao that the sale could definitely be negotiated, but the price still had to be discussed, but it would definitely not be too low!

Ding Mao could understand the meaning of the words just from the words "brother, generosity, and connection".

If Boss Gong continues to call Boss Ding, it means that he is still hesitating and considering. After all, if the cost is too high, there will be a risk of collection.

But if he uses the word "brother" to take the initiative to close the relationship, it means that he has made up his mind to invite a few people back. In addition, he can also use the relationship to close the relationship to bargain. After all, he can't reach out to hit the smiling person.

Luo Gao is telling Ding Mao that your purchase price is indeed a bit high. If you add too much on this basis, he won't be able to take it, so he hopes that Ding Mao will make a reasonable quotation later. He will definitely not let Ding Mao lose money, and he thinks the same. Get attached to these statues.

Ding Mao smiled calmly and said: "There is no way! Since I like it, I also know that the future market will be very good, and there is definitely a lot of room for value-added, so the more expensive it is, the more expensive it will be!"

I think Boss Gong’s collection philosophy is similar to mine, right? "

The signals revealed by these words are also very clear. Firstly, I don’t necessarily want to sell them; secondly, these are high-quality products, so their collection value is very high; thirdly, you’d better be able to approve my price, otherwise I really won’t be sure. Will sell it to you.

And when he heard that Ding Mao's name for him had not changed, Boss Gong, who was admiring the statue of Yamantaka, slowly smiled and turned his head, knowing in his heart that the price was probably not easy to negotiate!

"No one may be able to predict the market accurately, so I just play around based on my preferences!"

If building relationships didn't work, then he would use the unknown market as the basis for bargaining, telling Ding Mao that although he liked it, he had to control the risks!

However, Ding Mao will certainly not give in easily, because he is not in a hurry to sell, and can even collect it himself. In addition, he also has a way, but it is more troublesome than trading with Boss Gong.

Because Boss Gong has the need now, the initiative lies with Ding Mao.

"Boss Gong is so humble. As a successful entrepreneur like you, you naturally have a unique vision. Your control over the future market cannot be said to be [-]% certain, but it is probably not much different!"

After a "simple" conversation, both parties understood each other's mentality.
