Rebirth: I am a first-line antique dealer

When I arrived at the old man's house, I discovered that it was one of the old houses that Ding Mao had seen from a distance before. It had blue bricks and gray tiles, and there were auspicious animals carved on the roof.

Although Ding Mao has bottom lines and principles, for example, he will not give low prices to goods from relatives, friends and neighbors in his hometown, and he will not accept even some bad words. Some people such as classmates, teammates, disabled people, orphans and widows will not give low prices, and may even charge high prices. Yes, after all, he still needs to accumulate some virtue for himself in his new life, and he doesn't want to play until he has no friends at all, so he still tries his best to maintain some friends he can have deep friendship with.

As for the old man in front of him, he is naturally not within the scope of his bottom line and principles. After all, he learned through chatting that Xue Qiang is his grandson. He can educate such a person. Even though the old man may not be bad in nature, he still has faults!

The porcelain the old man mentioned is a pair of unparalleled hat tubes. The shape of the vessel is regular, the craftsmanship is exquisite, the coating is naturally old, the texture and soles are in line with the characteristics of the time, and they are well preserved!

Unparalleled Pu is a collection of 1400 widely recognized figures with unparalleled deeds drawn from the Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty over 40 years, and inscribed with imperial poems and essays.

Also known as "Nanling Wushuangpu", it is a Zhejiang school print in the early Qing Dynasty. It was published in the 33rd year of Kangxi (AD 1694). Since its completion, it has been circulated and reprinted many times, and folk porcelain craftsmanship has also been often copied. It has been popular in the Daoguang and Tongzhi periods.

The 40 celebrities are: Zhang Liang, Xiang Yu, Fu Sheng, Dongfang Shuo, Zhang Qian, Su Wu, Sima Qian, Dong Xian, Yan Ziling, Cao E, Ban Chao, Ban Zhao, Zhao E, Sun Ce, Zhuge Liang, Yang Hu, Zhou Chu, Lu Zhu, Tao Yuanming, Wang Meng, Xie An, Su Ruolan, Hua Mulan, Mrs. Xian, Wu Zetian, Di Renjie, An Jinzang, Guo Ziyi, Li Bai, Li Mi, Zhang Chengye, Feng Dao, Chen Tuan, Qian Liu, Anmin Chen Dong, Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang .

Portraits of these people are often painted on porcelain in the Qing Dynasty. Because of their exquisite craftsmanship and often rich pictures and texts, they are very popular among porcelain collectors!

There are also related ones, "Chu Bei Wushuang Pu" has a total of 26 people, and "Wu Shuang Pu Supplement" has a total of 30 people.

While chatting with the old man, I learned that his ancestor was a businessman and often traveled to various places. He later moved back to this old house due to the turmoil in the current situation.

Ding Mao will not be as soft-hearted as when he meets a "fool". Such a family must give lowly and receive steadily, and they can pick up as many omissions as they can!

However, what surprised him was that such a pair of six-sided, window-opening, Daoguang period pastel unparalleled spectrum cap tubes was bought after just one price quote.

He probably guessed what the old man was thinking, so he picked up the leak calmly.

When I returned to my father's place, my father also collected some small items, but they were basically tobacco bags, copper plates and the like!

But my father learned from these villagers that another old house and compound belonged to the Zhao family. Their ancestors originally had a cooperative relationship with the Xue family, but later generations had a falling out. The two families were very unhappy, especially those who were close to each other. In the past two years, Xue Chao has often caused trouble for the Zhao family!

After hearing the news, Ding Mao smiled knowingly. How could an old house with such a heritage not have good things? As for why he only received one hat tube from the Xue family, it was because he knew that after all, the conflict came first. If you ask the old man, you won't be able to get it for him.

"Dad, let's drive slowly and collect it. Because of the conflict just now, some people may want to sell it, but they won't take it over because of the reputation of the villagers!"

Ding Xian agreed very much and drove slowly on the village road.

Sure enough, as Ding Mao had guessed, after the car started moving, when passing by the door of some people's houses, someone would shout to sell goods.

But at this time Ding Mao got a call, so the goods could only be sent to his father to see.

"Hey, Brother Yan, what's the matter with calling me?"

Ma Yan's voice came from the other end of the phone: "I went to your home to find you today. I heard from your mother that you went to other places to receive goods? When will you come back?"

"Well, I've been out for two days. I guess it will take a few days before I can go back. It mainly depends on how many things I receive!"

Although Ding Mao’s plan is to go back to Shanxi Province, if he can collect this car in advance, he can only move it forward!

"Well, be safe out there. I don't have anything serious to do. Didn't you mention the high-priced cashier's yuan before? I contacted you and was wondering if you would like it?"

"Of course, let's do this. You keep it for me first. I'll give you more for every dollar I get when I go back. You don't have to ask anyone else. If you don't have enough money, I can send you some money first. , in short, just keep it for me, I also believe in your vision, as long as there is no problem with the items, I will accept them all!"

At this time, due to the inconvenience of information, there is actually no standard market price. There are actually some small differences between the receiving and shipping prices in each region.

For example, in a certain year, the maximum price of a certain category in some places has risen to 80 yuan, but in remote counties, it still charges 50 yuan and sells for 55-60 yuan.

Even if information becomes more developed in the later period, it is actually difficult for antique shops to have specific pricing. There is only a rough standard. Most of them vary from person to person and are completely based on personal preferences.

For example, for the ordinary three-year Yuan Xiang in 2021, everyone knows that some people sell it for 20, but there are many dealers who sell it for 30.Another example is that the reference price of all previous transactions for a certain item did not exceed [-], but a boss recognized it and bought it for [-] because of personal preference!

In the antique circle, whether you are a dealer or a merchant, you face different sources of goods and customers, so the prices of the goods will naturally not be very uniform.

Even if it is an auction, if this one fails, the next one may fetch a price several times higher than the estimated price!

However, Ding Mao is reborn in this era, facing an increase of dozens of times in the next ten to twenty years, so there is no problem in spending a little money to stock a large amount of inventory based on the local market price!Both left and right will make a lot of money in the end.

The reason why Ma Yan was asked to help him contact him about receiving the goods was firstly because of Ma Yan's connections in the surrounding areas, and secondly because of Ma Yan's character and eyesight. After all, they had known each other for a long time in the previous life. Although he was also as shrewd as an antique person, he was The people Ding Mao trusted were almost as good as masters and disciples.

"Okay, as long as you say this, I will keep it all for you, and when you come back, come directly to me to get it! By the way, I heard that someone specially made old tire afterpaint and old copper recast things in the future. Let’s be more careful when collecting things here!”

Although Ma Yan didn't say it explicitly, Ding Mao knew that it was probably done to him. After all, when he accepted Chongning that day, he was a little too high-profile and offended some people just for the sake of pleasure!

"Okay, thank you Brother Yan for reminding me, I will pay more attention!"

The phone just hung up and the phone rang again. Ding Mao saw that it was the county's landline number and picked up the phone!

"Brother Ding, I'm Yu Hongliang from the sprint team. I haven't seen you for a few days, so I asked Sister Cui for your phone number!"

This Yu Hongliang is a pretty good person. In the previous life, Ding Mao once heard that something happened to a certain coach at the sports school, and he ran around and paid for someone to help solve it. Although he was a bit slippery. , but after all, I know how to be grateful!

"Oh, Hong Liang, I went out and I'm out of town now. Are you worried about asking me for anything?"

"Brother, during this period I saw a few pieces of the silver coin you wanted. I haven't seen you yet, so I bought them first. When you come back, come and take a look!"

When Ding Mao heard this, his heart skipped a beat. This kid didn't understand anything, yet we bought it ourselves!

"I'll probably have to wait a few days when I get back. Don't buy randomly for now. Don't waste your money if you don't understand. I'll find you when I get back!"

"Yeah, I understand, brother. I don't have any money now. It's impossible to buy it again. Then remember to come to me when you come back!"

After hanging up the phone, Ding Mao sighed. It seemed that he made a mistake in giving him the money last time!

At that time, he just thought that this kid was a nice person, and he was beaten for helping him collect his things. In addition, classmates and teammates with good character were considered his bottom line. He felt sorry for being given too little, and after all, the two dollars were of good quality. It's very good and has a lot of color. Even if it enters the P box later, it will definitely be awarded points.

At this time, Ding Xian also returned to the car again, put some of the things he received into the car, and said to Ding Mao: "I'll drive over, you look at the things in the car, and I'll go to that store to collect some." ?”

As he spoke, he pointed to the old courtyard of another household!

Ding Mao looked at his father with some confusion. He hadn't received it yet. Why was his father so anxious to get there?

Ding Xian smiled and said: "The house I just went to is the owner of the yard, and he promised to take me to see the goods!"

A smile immediately appeared on Ding Mao's face. At this time, a motorcycle drove out of the house where his father had just gone, heading towards the old courtyard.

He drove to follow, and when he got to the ground, Ding Mao looked at the car in the car, and Ding Xian followed him into the yard.

About half an hour later, my father walked out with a wooden box in one hand and a large flowerpot in the other, followed by two young men, each carrying a chair.

Another young woman was holding a porcelain teapot and a carved copper plate.

Ding Mao quickly got out of the car to help, reached out to take the wooden box, and found that it was not as heavy as usual, so he had a guess in his mind.

Looking at the flowerpot in my father's hand, I can tell from its style and color materials that it is a pastel consecrated Bogu flowerpot from the Tongzhi period.

After loading everything, the father and son continued to collect the goods. In the afternoon, they visited two villages before driving to the next town.

On the way, Ding Mao looked at the box of silver coins. They were all real. He also heard from his father that there was a bunch of big money in the flower pot, but he didn't look at it.

"This house originally had a lot of good stuff, but the drunkard you took care of two years ago went to his house to cause trouble and broke a lot of it! Oh! What a pity!"

"Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do, so we collect these things not only to make money, but also to protect them!"

"When you say that, it seems like you have a sense of accomplishment!"

Ding Xian chuckled, and then said: "By the way, he also has a beautiful Buddha statue in his house, but he believes in this, so he can't come!"

"Well, we don't force things on others, everything depends on fate!"
