Chapter 7, Drawing Fiber
Please take care! Hu Yang smiled and said
Then, could you please give me a quote! Hu Yang requested
Therefore, regardless of the strength of Hu Yang's abilities, he still maintains a certain level of respect towards this young man
The Chen Lao he spoke of actually does not appear old; his hair is still jet black, and there are no wrinkles on his face, only a few age spots, making him look around fifty years old
After Elder Chen finished speaking, Wang Kuan looked at Hu Yang and said, "Brother Hu, what do you think?"
The audience in the live broadcast room is envious, as they have benefited from the host's popularity, earning over 10,000, which is equivalent to many people's three months' salary
Hongxuan porcelain primarily features famille rose and overglaze enamel colors, with the latter being a Western enamel material introduced by the Qing Palace Workshop. It is painted on white porcelain and then fired in a kiln, with an appropriate amount of pigment added later. This particular piece is a relatively exquisite example of famille rose porcelain, with clear markings. However, due to long-term storage of rouge, the inner wall will undoubtedly be stained with the pigment from the rouge, and cleaning it will require some effort
While Mr. Chen was undergoing a professional appraisal, Wang Kuan and others began to converse with one another. In particular, Wang Kuan's friend and Hu Yang, as they are all in the same industry, might indeed be able to support each other in the future
Thank you, elder! Hu Yang and Hua Zai said in unison, but their postures were clearly different. Hu Yang appeared relaxed and natural, while Hua Zai seemed somewhat constrained and not very at ease
In a moment, more people were impulsively rushing to the antique markets nearby
He is also troubled by the valuation, as it was previously just a hobby and he did not delve deeply into the market trends of various antiques
Upon learning that Hu Yang was still live streaming, teaching everyone how to treasure hunt, Wang Kuan's friend Sun Zhidong felt a bit impressed. After all, searching for treasures under the gaze of so many people is no small pressure; one fears making a mistake in front of such a crowd, which would be utterly embarrassing.
He was about to say goodbye and head home when Hu Yang called out to him
Wang Kuan quickly led everyone inside while introducing Hu Yang
Boss Wang sat down, and the two young men also took a sip of tea. Old Chen smiled in a friendly manner and personally brewed tea for everyone
"Please enjoy your tea first, I will excuse myself for a moment," said Old Chen to everyone as he took the porcelain box. It was evident that he was also a person of great energy, not one to procrastinate in his work
Wang Kuan said it is not far, but it still takes about half an hour by his car to reach an antique street in YX District. This street does not have any stalls; both sides are lined with antique shops.
He did not disclose the specific location, which left many people feeling regretful
Let's go out for a meal together! There is something I would like to discuss with you
After all, we are all in the same line of work, just with different specifics. From Wang Kuan's introduction during the previous phone call, I learned that this young man also understands appraisal. The Hongxian porcelain was something he picked up at a bargain, far surpassing someone like me who works as an intermediary.
Huyang said to the friends in the live broadcast room: "Don't be fooled by the small size of these stores; it takes at least ten million to purchase one."
Wah Chai is originally from Yangcheng, but he lives in the suburbs, which have not been developed much, and he has not enjoyed the wealth brought by the land
I heard that you found a good treasure, take it out and let me have a look, old man Chen said
And Hu Yang also began to say goodbye to the friends in the live broadcast room, indicating that today's live stream has come to an end. If the weather is good tomorrow, he should continue to take everyone on the treasure hunt.
Huyang did not argue with him about treating, and smiled, saying: "Alright, I just saw a boat congee shop around the corner, let's go there!"
He truly never considered using this item to appreciate in value for profit, and he is not lacking in a few tens of thousands. He feels it is unnecessary to quibble over a few thousand, so he might as well be more generous.
Without a doubt, the happiest person is Huazai. Today, he has achieved quite a lot and has thanked Hu Yang several times. Having troubled him once, he feels embarrassed to ask to continue following Hu Yang in the future
Hello! Hello! The balding middle-aged man greeted Hu Yang while walking inside
He was still asking someone to help find Hong Xian porcelain, but unexpectedly, Wang Kuan found it himself. Although he missed out on a fee for the pulling service, he did not mind it too much
Please take your time to attend to your matters first
I will buy it for fifteen thousand
"Old Wang, please come in quickly. Old Chen is waiting; they will be going out shortly."
Upon seeing Wang Kuan's Mercedes-Benz, everyone exclaimed that he is wealthy. Someone checked online and found that this model costs over 2 million!
But he is very aware of the land prices in this city; which of these urban areas and city centers is not extremely wealthy
"Little brother, are you looking to part with that lychee jelly white agate peace pendant of yours?" Sun Zhidong looked at Huazai.
They found an antique shop named Treasure Pavilion, which had a limited selection of items. On one side were a few sets of old furniture, while on the other side were some porcelain pieces, and the glass display case at the front contained some jade artifacts
Why don't you give a price! Hu Yang kicked the ball back, asking him to make the first offer
I will consider it
Wang Kuan nodded in agreement: "Indeed, this location is also in a prime area, and a plot of land of about 100 square meters could easily be worth over ten million. In the past, I lacked the capability; otherwise, I would have made a fortune in land speculation long ago"
People of his age spend their days drinking tea, whether they have something to do or not
The land in this location is extremely valuable, not to mention a single storefront, along with the antiques inside the store
Troublesome for Old Chen
In less than twenty minutes, Old Chen returned to the tea area with the porcelain box, gently placing the rouge box on the table and nodding affirmatively at Wang Kuan: "Indeed! This is a piece of Hongxian porcelain, and it is in excellent condition."
For Wang Kuan, the sum of 200,000 was not a significant concern; he directly quoted a high price: "Since Old Chen said it is well-preserved, then let's settle on 150,000! I won't take advantage of you, brother."
Adding the previous fifty thousand, the total income has reached two hundred thousand, stirring the emotions of the viewers in the live broadcast room, as they realize that wealth is so easily attainable
"Alright! It's my treat!" Hua Zai was taken aback for a moment and did not inquire further. Since Hu Ge had helped him make a little money, it was only right for him to treat him to a meal
Thank you very much, Boss Wang. The 150,000 exceeded Hu Yang's expectations, and naturally, he had no intention of opposing it
What are you talking about! What are you talking about! Let's take care of each other in the future
In reality, this Mr. Chen is already in his sixties, but he has taken good care of himself
Unfortunately, it is not marked with the seal script of "Juren Hall". As for this item, it is estimated to be between 100,000 and 150,000. Of course, if a collector who truly appreciates it comes along, it could potentially exceed 200,000. This is merely a reference price for your consideration and should not be taken as a definitive standard.
After a moment of hesitation, Hua Zai still asked, "How much does it cost?"
As Mr. Chen had other matters to attend to outside, everyone felt it inappropriate to continue disturbing him, and after exchanging pleasantries for a while, they took their leave
"La Qian" is a term used in the antique trade, similar in meaning to an intermediary, referring to a middleman or introducer. The intermediary charges a commission, typically 3% from the seller and 2% from the buyer, commonly referred to as 'Cheng San Po Er'.
Huyang took out the rouge box and placed it on the table
It has caused trouble
"No problem, call me when you have made up your mind." Just now, he has already given business cards to Hua Zai and Hu Yang, which include contact information
