Chapter 3, a clamor ensued

Although it is not oneself who is becoming wealthy, observing this process is quite thrilling

He could not help but remind the old man: "He bought it from me for three hundred yuan"

The Populus euphratica had not gone far, and the stall owner naturally heard it, his face showing even more regret.

The recent scene has caught the attention of many in the second-hand market. Many vendors have gained a preliminary understanding of the young man's abilities; they should possess some discernment, but their lack of experience has led them to be taken advantage of by the elder.

It can be seen that this seal was carved during the Qing Dynasty and belongs to the objects of that period

This stamp was picked up by him, and there is no concept of cost associated with it. However, since the business has not yet opened today, he thinks he must earn at least one thousand or a few hundred.

As soon as the host shouted "twenty," the vendor's expression immediately fell.

Not very good, over one thousand, I have no need to come to such a place to seek treasure

He popularizes knowledge among everyone, and the chicken blood stone, Tianhuang stone, and Qingtian light frozen stone are known as the three treasures of seal stones

Such a piece!

As soon as the audience in the live broadcast room heard this, they immediately became alert, but they were also puzzled. Since there are flaws, should they still make a purchase? Knowing it is a trap, should they still jump in?

The old man listened to Hu Yang's words, his expression filled with bitterness, still contemplating turning back to seize an opportunity! However, the young person is also an expert in this field

Upon hearing the inquiry about the price, the vendor was overjoyed. They are not afraid that you will find it expensive; rather, they fear that you won't even ask about the price. As long as someone inquires about the price, it generally indicates an intention to make a purchase

Looking at the elderly man's cheerful expression, everyone knows that the value of that seal is above 50,000.

What everyone sees as 'chicken blood' is actually composed of cinnabar. Based on the place of origin, it can be divided into three main categories: Changhua chicken blood stone, Balin chicken blood stone, and chicken blood stones from other regions. This piece should be from Changhua.

Then you can keep it; for five hundred, I can get a piece of genuine bloodstone of not very good quality

Hu Yang couldn't help but roll his eyes, which elicited a burst of laughter from the viewers in the live stream. Seeing the host earn so much in such a short time left everyone with mixed feelings, and at that moment, witnessing his misfortune brought a sense of secret delight to many.

In addition, he successfully received the task reward, which is a pair of beginner's treasure-seeking eyes that can determine the age of items

... ...

Is it Zhu Yongtai? No wonder, " Hu Yang said

The art of carving in our country is particularly remarkable in the regions of Suzhou and Yangzhou, where many renowned jade carving masters originate. Without further ado, let us continue

Hu Yang did not hesitate, immediately set down the seal, and reached for other items

It is reasonable to think that antiques are luxury items in themselves; nowadays, a designer handbag for women can cost tens of thousands.

No, I will be going out shortly

The quality is primarily assessed based on the amount of chicken blood. Less than 10% is considered average, between 10% and 30% is classified as mid-range, more than 30% is regarded as high-end, and over 70% is very rare

Huyang spoke while showcasing the piece of bloodstone he had in his hand

Three hundred, I will keep it if it is below three hundred

In this case, it is indeed a high-end item, and it was obtained for only 300 yuan. The host must have made quite a profit, right? Someone in the live broadcast room asked on the public screen how much it is worth.

There will always be nitpickers, Hu Yang said: "Everyone should not underestimate these elderly men and uncles who set up stalls; their income can easily surpass that of white-collar workers sitting in offices. In the future, everyone should pay attention when coming to such places to hunt for treasures; you must bargain and directly ignore any prices quoted in the tens of thousands."

Hu Yang was still contemplating how to assess the value, as besides the material itself, there was also the artistic component of the carving, making it difficult to provide an accurate price at that moment

The elderly man said: "If I am not mistaken, this should be a work by the renowned Qing Dynasty sculptor Zhu Yongtai. Just based on this, the value of the seal is no less than 50,000."

The seal in my hand is made of bloodstone.

Huyang looked carefully at the stall owner and, seeing his expression, understood that this was his bottom line, so he smiled and said, "Alright, then let's make it three hundred!"

Having finished speaking, he took out three hundred and handed it over

Many people in the live broadcast room were astonished, all saying that antique trading is highly profitable. Today, I have witnessed it firsthand. In the blink of an eye, it tripled in value. No wonder the host dares to claim a daily income exceeding 10,000; it is simply too easy

This time, it is the vendor who is anxious: "Young man, how about negotiating the price? Twenty is definitely not acceptable, how about I give you a 50% discount, making it 1,000?"

Hu Yang did not hesitate and immediately claimed the reward

Seeing the audience in the live broadcast room inquiring about the situation of that seal, Hu Yang provided a brief explanation. It was not appropriate to clarify in front of the stall owner just now, otherwise it would be difficult to seize the opportunity.

One hundred! No more than that. As for whether this bloodstone is genuine or not, there is a significant issue with this seal. The bloodstone was mined in the early Ming Dynasty, but this seal is engraved with the name Mi Fu, who was a person from the Song Dynasty. Hu Yang pointed out the flaw.

Upon hearing this, the vendor understood that the young man had some knowledge and at least was aware of the market conditions. He gritted his teeth and lowered the price by another 100.

Oh? How do you say that the sculptor has a significant background?

Huyang speaks the truth; in this second-hand market, the vast majority are traps, and everyone is well aware of it. If the prices are too high, why bother coming to such a place to take chances

Not much, this number! The vendor held up two fingers.

One hundred is definitely not enough, let's go with five hundred! It cannot be any less.

Who knows Hu Yang shook his head: "Just for this piece of material, it cannot be obtained for less than 10,000 yuan."

The elderly man smiled and nodded in gratitude, then turned to Hu Yang and said: "I will give one thousand! Let's make it a round number."

His confidence, after all, stems from the fact that the old man just now looked at it for a long time, giving the impression that this seal must have its merits. Even if it is a counterfeit, it should be a very skillful imitation, right

The audience in the live broadcast room was slightly taken aback, perked up, and realized that the intimate scene was about to begin

Upon hearing these words, the vendor turned pale with fear

Oh my! The earnings are just too outrageous

There is also an antique street not far from my home, and I will go out shortly to try my luck

He slightly closed his eyes, feeling a cool sensation emanating from his eyes. After opening them, he once again focused on the seal in his hand, and data from three hundred years flooded into his mind

The elderly man is still someone who keeps up with the trends, directly using his mobile phone to pay Hu Yang fifty thousand yuan, successfully obtaining that seal. He then explained to Hu Yang: "Little brother, you value the material of this seal, while I value its carving. I wasn't very certain before; otherwise, I wouldn't have spent this unnecessary money"

The audience in the live broadcast room was equally astonished, as this would mean a more than one hundredfold increase! Who would want fifty thousand? Even if it is worth that price, others would have no profit margin left, right

Initially, Hu Yang was not too certain about the authenticity of the seal, as he was an amateur with limited skills and had a mindset of taking a chance at first. However, after the transaction was completed and the system indicated that the task was accomplished, he became certain that the seal was genuine; how could it possibly be sold at a low price

666, the world of the wealthy

"Fifty thousand it is! However, could the elder tell me about this seal?" Hu Yang said.

Huyang is not very skilled at pricing yet. After pondering for a moment, he finally spoke: "Can 50,000 be accepted?"

Goodness! The streamer is about to earn over 10,000 yuan!

My goodness! I can't stand it, how can this be a daily income of over 10,000?

The audience in the live broadcast room burst into laughter instantly, whether it is the vendor or the host, they are all quite clever! One person merely extends two fingers, which is nothing more than testing the buyer's bottom line. After all, it could be 20, 200, or even 2000, depending on how you respond

"Little brother, I have had my eye on this seal for some time. Would you be willing to part with it? How much did you buy it for? I can offer you double that amount, so you won't suffer any loss." He spoke.

Poverty limits my perception

Seeing the large stack of cash in Qianbao's hands, the vendor felt deep regret, thinking that he should have been more resolute in his negotiations

This issue is also of great concern to many viewers. While watching your live stream, in addition to gaining some knowledge and observing your opportunities, the primary focus remains on how much you have earned

Hu Yang paid no attention to the vendor's self-promotion. In this line of work, one must never trust the seller's words, as most of it is fabricated. It is essential to be aware of this; once one becomes immersed in the seller's narrative, there is a high probability of falling into a trap.

When you can discern that the item is several hundred years old, you at least know that it is an antique; whether it holds value requires a multifaceted assessment

The audience in the live broadcast room has just realized that the "blood" in the bloodstone seal definitely accounts for more than 30 percent

He explained to the friends in the live broadcast room that Zhu Yongtai was a renowned court jade carver during the Qianlong period and was from Suzhou

The old man listened and immediately nodded with a smile: "Fifty thousand is acceptable"

The audience in the live broadcast room naturally witnessed this scene and burst into laughter. Some also questioned, thinking that the host was being generous, but setting up a stall is not easy; isn't it inappropriate to haggle like this? It seems rather satisfying to give the female host several thousand yuan for free.

Twenty? Hu Yang cast a sidelong glance at the vendor

Watching the host negotiate the price down step by step, from 2000 to 300, many viewers in the live broadcast room were enlightened. If it were them, they would at most cut it in half; would they be as ruthless as the host?

Let it be this way! Two hundred, if I incur a loss, I will just consider it a lesson learned

Prior to this, the host had not inquired about the price. It now seems that the stamp has likely caught someone's eye. Everyone is waiting to see the host seize the opportunity and make a fortune

This time, Hu Yang was somewhat taken aback, staring blankly for a moment, and it was difficult to change his words, as everyone was watching! This loss was unavoidable.

Therefore, he has not given up yet and pressed on, asking: "So how much do you need to part with it?"

Terrifying

Indeed! I have seen friends mention that there is also chicken blood stone in Guilin. It is true that Guilin chicken blood stone features a rich array of colors, predominantly red, while also incorporating the white of Hetian jade and the green of jadeite. On the other hand, chicken blood stone is valued for its red hue, with the more vivid the red, the higher its collectible value. Therefore, in recent years, Guilin chicken blood stone has become quite popular among certain high-end collectors.

However, the elderly man's reaction caused them to curse directly

The stall owner widened his eyes, feeling that this young man was truly asking for a lion's share, far too much compared to what he was offering. Three hundred in hand, and you want fifty thousand?

You must be joking, twenty yuan is not even enough to buy a pair of underwear now! Two thousand.

Whether it is the stall owner, the elderly, or the viewers in the live broadcast room, all held their breath, waiting for Hu Yang to continue.

... ...

At this moment, the previous elderly man walked back, and upon seeing the seal in Hu Yang's hand, a look of regret appeared on his face

The audience in the live broadcast room was in an uproar, having purchased it for 300 yuan! It was obtained right under their noses, yet it is worth over 10,000 yuan. This immediate shock prompted many to feel the urge to go out and shop online.

The stall owner smiled awkwardly; in fact, he did not understand much and could not discern the authenticity of the chicken blood stone at all

He remained expressionless, looked for a while, and inquired: "What is the price?"

The carving must have been added later, but this piece of bloodstone is genuine and worth this price, Hu Yang said

"Nine hundred? This is indeed a bloodstone!" The vendor lowered the price by another hundred.

The elderly person truly likes that seal; otherwise, they would not have looked at it for such a long time before.

Although this function is quite singular, for the Populus euphratica, being able to determine the age of an object is already quite impressive. The value of antiques is often closely linked to their age.
