Siheyuan: I am Liu Guangqi
Chapter 169: Changing Money at Liulichang
So Liu Guangqi could only select some less precious things from his collection and exchange them for money.
Among Liu Guangqi's many treasures, the least precious ones are probably the two large blue and white Ming Dynasty Wanli jars for pickling that he found in the kitchen.
There were a lot of these things, not even a pair, and it was from a folk kiln, so I could just keep one for fun, and I wouldn’t feel bad if I sold it, so Liu Guangqi took it to Liulichang.
"Wait a moment, have a sip of tea, and I'll take a look first."
Shopkeeper Liu made tea for Liu Guangqi, took out a magnifying glass and looked at the big blue and white jar carefully.
Liu Guangqi didn't laugh at him. He felt that his eyesight was so poor that he couldn't even see a big can. It was impossible to build a store in Liulichang and not fall down after working for so many years without some real ability.
On the contrary, it can show that the other party's vision and management level are very high.
What is important in the antique business is to be cautious and meticulous. There are too many experts who have fallen down because of being too conceited, such as Lan Yigui who was tricked by Tong Fengquan, or Shen Songshan from Yanju Pavilion. They all fell down.
Because of his carelessness, he suffered a big fall, and Shen Songshan was directly ruined and hanged himself. Lan Yigui was on the better side and had a strong foundation to carry it through.
"There's nothing wrong with the thing. It's a good thing with a big door. Dr. Liu, how much do you plan to sell it for?"
Shopkeeper Liu carefully looked at the big blue and white jar to make sure there was nothing wrong, then he looked up at Liu Guangqi and asked.
"Ten million."
The price is high and the money is paid back on the ground. In order to maximize profits, Liu Guangqi will definitely not offer a low price.
"If it's ten million, you'd better take it back and play with it yourself, or go and ask elsewhere. You also know that the world is not as good as it used to be. Ten million might be worth the money in the Republic of China, but it's not possible now.
Already."
Shopkeeper Liu smiled and pushed the things in front of Liu Guangqi.
"Don't worry, you can pay me back the price."
Liu Guangqi had no intention of closing the deal at a fixed price. He continued to ask.
“Really want to sell”
Shopkeeper Liu pondered for a moment and asked.
"That's for sure."
Liu Guangqi nodded.
"Five million, I can only give you this price. No matter how high it is, I won't pay for it for a copper coin. You are also a person who knows the market. You have an idea of how much this thing is worth."
"If it works, it'll be five million."
Liu Guangqi didn't bother to talk to the other party and agreed directly. The price was not low anyway.
"Then just wait, I'll get you the money right now."
Hearing Liu Guangqi agreeing so readily, shopkeeper Liu's expression on the opposite side didn't even change. He stood up to get money for Liu Guangqi. If he had a poor psychological quality, he would definitely feel that the price he gave was too high.
"Doctor Liu, please ask. You have a good relationship with Shopkeeper Lan of Tianhexuan. Why don't you find him?"
After handing the money to Liu Guangqi, shopkeeper Liu asked curiously.
"It's nothing. In a word, it's hard to bargain. How much do you think I should offer in the past? If it's too much, I'll hurt my feelings. If it's too little, I'll suffer a loss."
Liu Guangqi said with a smile.
"I understand, please walk slowly and come back next time."
…
After coming out of shopkeeper Liu's shop, Liu Guangqi wanted to go back to find Bai Mei and the others, but now that he was here, he couldn't go back empty-handed.
So Liu Guangqi stared around in Liulichang with his big eyes.
"nice one"
After turning around, Liu Guangqi spotted a good thing at a stall, an exquisite blue and white pen holder. Without saying anything, Liu Guangqi walked towards the stall, but just as he was about to reach out, he was snatched away by someone next to him.
.
"Man, I touched it first this time."
When Liu Guangqi heard this voice, he turned around and saw that this was not the third uncle, no, the shabby man. The third uncle claimed to be a scholar and a scholar, so he would definitely not come out wearing a shabby vest and a tattered straw hat.
"You still remember me. You have such a good memory."
"That's for sure. I was a step too late for you with the pipe last time, but I'm not too late this time."
Shapoh held the blue and white pen holder in his hand and said proudly.
"It's not too late, you choose first. There are a lot of fun things in this stall. I'll look at the others first."
Seeing the broken look on his face, Liu Guangqi smiled and moved to the side.
"Boss, how much does this Bodhisattva cost?"
"You have really good eyesight. This is a gadget from the Kangxi period. If you want it, just give me one million."
"Screw you, you think this thing is made of gold, even Kangxi, but it looks like it's from Jiaqing to me. Give me a real price. If it's suitable, I'll make an appointment for you."
"That's not the lowest..."
Listening to the bargaining with the stall owner, and looking at the determined attitude of the stall owner, Liu Guangqi knew that there was no hope for this pen holder. He had just sold a large Wanli jar, and originally wanted to buy a Jiajing pen holder for replacement.
Looking for help, there is no chance now.
However, this rag is also very dark-hearted. It is obviously a thing from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, but he was forced to say that it was from the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty. He would have eaten it for three hundred years just by talking about it.
Since there was no hope, there was no need for Liu Guangqi to focus on this pen holder anymore. He got up and went to another stall because he saw another interesting thing.
The stall owner originally wanted to use Liu Guangqi to raise the price, but after seeing Liu Guangqi leave, he could only give up the idea.
"Boss, why is there a box on your stall? Why don't you buy antiques instead of buying a box?"
Liu Guangqi often visits Liulichang and the stall owner in front of him is considered an acquaintance, so he joked.
"Hey, how can you make money by selling boxes instead of buying antiques? I just received this box yesterday. I wanted to open it to see what's inside, but it turned out that this box is a combination lock. I tinkered with it all night and couldn't open it, so I just thought
I'll put it on the stall here to see if anyone wants it. If it doesn't sell, I'll go back and smash it open to see what's inside."
"Isn't this just a blind box? You are pretty good at business."
Although he didn't understand what Liu Guangqi was talking about, the stall owner still smiled.
"This box looks good, yo, it's quite heavy."
Liu Guangqi took the box over. As soon as he took it, Liu Guangqi felt something shaking immediately. Although Liu Guangqi did not have clairvoyance and could not see what was in the box, his intuition told Liu Guangqi that there must be something good in this box.
"How much does this box cost?"
After checking the appearance of the box to make sure there was no damage and it didn't look like it had been pried open, Liu Guangqi asked about the price.
"If you want it, I won't ask you for more. How about four hundred thousand."
The stall owner smiled so much that he offered a sky-high price.
"You didn't drink too much. You asked me for 400,000 yuan for a second-hand broken box. Even a new one is not worth that much."
Liu Guangqi's face turned dark when he heard the price offered by the stall owner. This guy was treating him like a traitor and slaughtering him.
"Don't be angry. You are an imported box. Look at the foreign codes on it. I calculated that there are more than 200,000 combinations of the combination lock. This is a real good thing.
In addition, there are other things inside. If you find a few gold bars inside, you will make a lot of money. Four hundred thousand is really not expensive at all."
"You go and cool off. If you really have gold bars, you will be cheaper for me. If you want me to have 400,000 yuan, then it will definitely be cheaper when you accept it. Give me an honest price, and if it is suitable, I will accept it. It's all mine."
I took care of your business and opened it for you."
"Hey, what did you say? Let's do it this way, 380,000. Let's see how it goes."
"Since I've been so useless for so long, you can give me 20,000 yuan. Just wait until you come back to the hospital next time, and I'll pick out the painful spots and prick them for you."
Liu Guangqi saw that the stall owner was refusing to buy food and salt, so he threatened him directly.
"Don't bother me. You have cured my cold legs. How about thirty-five? It's not expensive at all to buy an imported box for three hundred thousand yuan. This box is still fine. You can go back and tinker with it slowly.
Once you open it, it can be used as a new box."
When it comes to Mr. Liu Guangqi, the stall owner is really at his wits end. All he needs to do is lower the price to 30,000 yuan again.
"Okay, it's only three hundred and fifty thousand. I'm too lazy to talk nonsense to you."
After bargaining to this point, Liu Guangqi knew that the negotiation could not go on any further, and buying a box for 350,000 yuan was indeed not expensive, so he took out the money from his pocket and handed it to the stall owner.
