Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Lao Gao's home is near the Xinhua Bookstore, about two or three miles away from Fengqing Street Antique City.

After lunch, the four of them went there together.

It was Wu Yuansheng’s first time there, but the others had been there before, especially Wang Liang, who had been there many times.

The house is an old house built in the 3s, on the third floor, with an area of ​​about 90 square meters.

When they arrived, Lao Gao's wife, son, and daughter-in-law were at home.

After saying hello, they pointed out the things they needed to deal with to the few people.

There were quite a lot of things, all placed in a bedroom cabinet, box, table, bed and on the floor.

There are some wooden and stone objects on the ground.

Most of the items placed on the cabinets and beds are porcelain and enamel products, as well as some old modern electrical appliances (telephones, radios, cameras, etc.).

Wu Yuansheng took a quick look at the porcelain and found that most of them were new.

Hanging on the table and some walls are calligraphy and paintings.

The box contains metal items, old books, collectibles, stamps, etc.

"These things were taken back from the store two years ago after the old man closed it. If any of you want them, we'll give you a price without bargaining: 10 yuan, take them all away!"

While watching, Lao Gao’s wife said.

It seemed that she didn't want to talk about the prices of each item one by one. Bargaining would waste time and be very troublesome.

I guess she has already discussed it with her son and daughter-in-law.

This is because she is a little knowledgeable. If she is not knowledgeable or has money, she could just ask the waste recycler to take it away.

There are enough things here to open a small antique shop.

If business had been good in the past decade and people were willing to buy fake goods, you would have made a lot of money if you bought it for 10 yuan.

However, business is not good nowadays and everyone is selling off their things. There are many people like Lao Gao who have passed away and opened antique shops, and their families are also selling their things at low prices.

It is precisely because there are more and more people like this, coupled with the fact that fewer and fewer young people are collecting antiques, that the business of the antique industry is getting worse day by day.

As for Wu Yuansheng himself, when he buys things now, he does not expect to sell them, nor does he expect them to appreciate in value or make money. He just buys them for fun, with the mindset of being a true collector.

Of course, he himself will not spend a lot of money on antique collections in the future. If a single item costs more than ten thousand yuan, he will definitely not buy it easily.

Besides, items that cost over ten thousand yuan are hard to sell at street stalls unless they are sold at auction houses.

Everyone is holding on to their money tightly.

In this industry, those who could make money before have already made money, and those who didn’t make money will find it difficult to make money again.

Unless the routine is very sophisticated and you happen to meet a fool or a rookie who doesn't know anything about the business and takes over the job.

The situation of "not opening for three years, but making enough money for three years after opening" has become a thing of the past.

In the future, it will be great if antique shops can survive.

Of course, if they can survive, maybe they are not short of money, they are just playing around and making friends through hiding!

These things in Lao Gao's house are definitely worth 10 yuan. After all, there are quite a lot of things, and some of them are very valuable.

"Lao Chen, Boss Wang, Xiao Wu, let's buy them together first, and then we can discuss how to deal with or distribute these things later!"

After hearing the price from Lao Gao’s wife, Zhou Anming said to the three of them.

No one has any objection to this.

After discussing it, they paid the money.

Then I called a moving company and asked them to send all these things to "Tai'an Antique City".

Speaking of "Tai'an Antique City", it is a new antique city opened in recent years and is also the most popular second-hand collectibles trading market in the city.

The people who used to work in the dog market, as well as many people who opened shops in other antique cities, all moved here.

There are many people who have opened shops, nearly twenty in total, and there are also many "iron counter box stalls".

The so-called "iron counter box stalls" are a row of connected shanty houses with two rows of professionally custom-made "iron counters" placed underneath. These counters look like big boxes.

The rent for this kind of stall is very cheap. You pay for the materials yourself, and the remaining rent is 600 yuan a year.

It is not afraid of wind, sun or rain, and is very suitable for amateur collectors who don’t have many things at home and just want to play around.

The stalls were very popular, and all of the forty or so "iron counters" were rented out and sold out.

"Tai'an Antique City" is also located in the city center, not far from Fengqing Street Antique City, only about four or five miles away.

After arriving at the place and unloading all the things, the four began to contact "buyers" to come and see the goods.

They had agreed on this batch of things before leaving Lao Gao's house: to sell them all and divide the profits equally among themselves.

When they went to buy things before, they didn’t expect that the seller would sell them at a fixed price.

But it’s better this way, it’s simple and convenient.

When I was unloading the things, many shop owners gathered around.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Chen, Mr. Wang, Mr. Wu, what? Are you guys starting to sell off your stuff?"

After knowing that the things belonged to them, Mr. Liu who opened a shop here said.

He previously opened a shop in the Fengqing Street Antique City and moved here two years ago, along with Boss Su and others.

"This is not from our family. To be honest, we bought it from the old Gao family who has passed away!"

Zhou Anming told everyone that there was nothing to hide about such things.

Ordinary people may think that buying and selling things related to the dead is not a good idea, but people in the antique industry do not have so many concerns.

"Is that Lao Gao who used to run a shop in the antique city on Fengqing Street? I was wondering why I haven't seen him for a while. It turns out he passed away!"

A man named Wang who runs a shop here was a little surprised when he heard this information.

"That's him. Today, a few of us went together to look at the things. You can buy whatever you need. We are the sellers and we will sell until they are sold out."

Chen Guangxing listened to what they said and said with a smile.

"When you buy these things later, you'd better hurry up. There are people on the way. It's better to act first! We are all in the same business. If you buy these things, we guarantee that you will get some profit!"

Wang Liang looked at the people around him and followed suit.

Wu Yuansheng smiled at everyone and said something similar to Wang Liang.

While they were chatting, the moving company unloaded their belongings, paid them a "hardship fee", and then left.

After hearing what Wang Liang had said before, asking them to hurry up and make their purchases, the people who ran the shops here became "busy".

Start selecting porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, miscellaneous items in boxes, and items made of stone and wood.

Put all the selected ones next to you.

Fortunately, there were four people watching, otherwise one person wouldn’t be able to keep up.

After about half an hour, most of the items placed on the ground were "divided up" by the people who opened shops here.

Some people who come from other places can only choose from items that have been selected by others. There is nothing they can do about it.

After everyone had finished looking, they began to discuss the price one by one, and they also made a pile of estimates.

For each transaction, Wu Yuansheng would take a photo with his mobile phone and write down the price directly on his phone.

There were quite a few people coming here to shop in the afternoon, about 20 people in total. In addition to the people in the store, there were also people visiting the antique market.

Finally, the total income was calculated, which was more than 18.

(Some people also want those modern imitation porcelains, and the prices range from a few dozen yuan to one or two hundred yuan.

After all, even if you ask someone else to make one, the cost will be that much, or even more expensive. This can be seen from the various modern porcelains sold at porcelain exhibitions outside.

They didn't keep anything, and what was left, the things that no one else wanted, were all packed up and sold at the most favorable and cheapest price.

By the time those who had bought things had transferred their money and divided the money among everyone, it was almost half past five and it was getting dark.

The four of them still had dinner at Quanzi Restaurant in the evening.

After a round of trading in the afternoon, each of us made 2 yuan, which was a pretty good profit.

With the money he earned, Wu Yuansheng would go to the antique market and buy a lot of items without having to pay back his original capital, which would last him a long time.

Of course, those who purchase items and open shops can certainly make money, and everyone benefits.
