Chapter 11
Please give me some collections and recommendations!
***************
The middle-aged man who took the lead gave an introduction to Fang Bo and the young man. Sure enough, Jin Muchen read it correctly. The young man here should be the backbone of their group.
Fang Bo smiled and shook hands with the other party, while the other party casually reached out to Fang Bo and a natural noble spirit came to his face.
The middle-aged man who took the lead was Zhang, and he was an old family member of Fang Bo. He came to the United States so unintentionally. He visited Fang Bo's store and bought a few good things from Fang Bo and went back. From then on, he became a good friend of Fang Bo and came to Fang Bo's store several times a year.
"By the way, have you collected any good things from Lao Fang during this period? Take them out for everyone to see?"
Everyone exchanged greetings for a while, then went straight to the main point. Fang Bo didn't say nonsense, went to the door and flipped over the sign with OPEN, then returned to the counter behind, and took out a few small boxes.
Several people surrounded and opened the boxes. The boxes contained several jade carvings and jade plaques. It was obvious that they were fine carvings of Hetian jade.
Jin Muchen didn't know much about these, but he thought these ancient jade carvings were pretty, and Boss Zhang and others over there had already tasted them.
"Good thing! Look at this Pisces Announcement, the carvings are so beautiful, and the Hetian jade is not bad either. It can be called a flawless white jade. The old jade in Hetian. Look at the color and then look at the patina. Hey, that's amazing."
"Well, this carving is really good. I should look like something from the Qing Dynasty."
"What does it mean to be like? He was from the Qing Dynasty..."
Boss Zhang and the other two fat bosses were chattering and evaluating the jade plaques and carvings of the Hetian jade. It seemed that they were very satisfied with the jade pieces.
In the United States, especially those who open shops like Fang Bo, the rules are different from those in China. All kinds of items are marked with clear prices. Unlike in China, sellers like to speak out loud, quote the price of lions very high, and then ask consumers to bargain. Those who know the goods are fine, but those who don’t understand are likely to be fooled.
However, if you do that in the United States, it is illegal, so the antique shops here usually have clear prices, and even the price quoted is nearly one-quarter lower than the price of the same type of antique in China.
Before coming, Boss Zhang had already explained the rules here to several other bosses, so they were not worried. Boss Fang would raise the price. Seeing what he liked, it would be fine even if he spoke casually. Anyway, the price was clearly written, and this price was not a big deal for big bosses like them.
However, the boss named Wang didn't seem to be very fond of these jade wares. After taking out these jade wares, he didn't even touch his eyelids, so he obviously didn't care much.
At this time, Boss Zhang quickly tasted the taste. When he saw that the young master surnamed Wang was not interested, he hurriedly said to Uncle Fang.
"Lao Fang, do you have any other good items here? Don't hide them. We rushed over from afar. Can't we just use these jade pieces to send us away?"
Fang Bo was waiting for this sentence. He turned around and went back, and soon brought out an antique mahogany box. The carvings outside the box were very exquisite, which made the objects inside look like ordinary items.
The box was opened in front of several people. The golden silk immediately made the items in the box look worth doubled.
Jin Muchen, who had always appeared next to everyone as a servant who served tea and water, almost fell to the ground when he saw the open bowl of yellow-bottomed, pastel, five-clawed cloud dragon pattern in the box.
This Uncle Fang is really good. He doesn't tell himself that he is cooking and selling. This bowl is the one he took out for Bo Fang half an hour ago.
He had just put it in a paper box before. Now, after Fang Bo's packaging, the B-grid of this bowl immediately seemed several grades higher, and the spirit of the people on the other side was suddenly attracted by it.
Even the boss Wang, who had always had a faint expression before, couldn't help but turn his eyes and focus his attention on this bowl.
"Hehe, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wang, you guys look slowly. This is just the Yongzheng yellow-bottomed, pastel five-clawed cloud dragon pattern open bowl that I just collected recently."
Fang Bo seemed to be talking to Mr. Zhang, but in fact, his eyes were mainly focused on Mr. Wang. He had long seen that Mr. Wang was actually the protagonist of this group of people.
"Hey! It's really a good thing! I said, Lao Fang, you're not kind. Why didn't we take out this good thing before?"
Mr. Zhang was very excited and picked up the bowl and placed it in front of him to observe it carefully. Several other bosses also surrounded Lao Zhang, watching while waiting for Lao Zhang to explain to them.
The President Wang sat next to Mr. Zhang, silent, but his eyes were all tied to this bowl. Obviously, this bowl moved him.
Mr. Zhang seemed to be very sensible, so he grabbed the bowl and started to praise everyone.
"Well, this bowl has a bright color and good quality. Although the mouth of this bowl is damaged, it is not very obvious. Moreover, it has been repaired and repaired very clever. Moreover, the carcass of this bowl is finely processed, with delicate and light texture, white and delicate, and moderately light weight. The glaze is moist and even, smooth and white, and bright and flawless. Looking at the bottom, although it is made in the Chenghua year of the Ming Dynasty, it just shows that this bowl is a genuine product from the Yongzheng period, and it is a five-clawed cloud dragon style, which should be a practical tool for the royal family that year..."
"Is that true? Lao Zhang, let me see..."
The other bosses immediately chattered around the bowl, but these people were looking at it, but they couldn't tell the reason. Obviously, they were just Xiaobai who had just started, and they didn't know much about the antiques.
On this side, Boss Zhang whispered in a low voice with Boss Wang, who had not spoken much before. While Boss Wang was listening to the introduction of President Zhang, his eyes were always on the bowl.
Soon, while the other people were watching the bowl, Boss Zhang turned his face and smiled and asked Bo Fang.
"Lao Fang, what price do you plan to sell this bowl?"
"Haha, don't ask for more, 30,000 US dollars."
Jin Muchen stood beside him and poured tea for several people. At this time, when he heard Fang Bo quote such a price, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Fang Bo had just told him that this bowl started at only 10,000 US dollars, but now he asked for 30,000 yuan at the moment of opening his mouth. I really didn't expect that Fang Bo would have such a side.
But when you think about it again, isn’t it just like this for those who do antique business? If you don’t open for three years, you will have to eat for three years!
"30,000 US dollars? There have been several items at domestic auctions in the past two years, and the prices range from tens of thousands to tens of thousands. Your bowl has a small size, and it is a practical one, and the mouth of the bowl is still damaged. I think the price of 30,000 US dollars is a bit high."
This time, Boss Wang was the one who spoke. As the saying goes, the derogatory goods were the buyer. As soon as Boss Wang spoke, Bo Fang knew that there was a business trip, and it seemed that the other party really liked this bowl.
"Mr. Wang, it seems that you are very interested in this bowl. Why don't you offer a price?"
Bo Fang looked at the President Wang with a smile and asked. At this time, the other bosses quietly stopped talking and had finished watching. Now they were all watching Mr. Wang and Bo Fang bargaining.
Judging from their meaning, it is obvious that they are all interested in this bowl, but because of the identity of Boss Wang, they dare not compete with Boss Wang, so they should hope that Boss Wang's becoming a monk would not reach Fang Bo's psychological price, and then the two sides would collapse, and then they would have the opportunity to take action.
Boss Wang turned around and looked at the bowl on the table, then looked up at the bosses beside the table. However, after his eyes swept through those people and returned to the bowl again, the bosses immediately changed their attitude. These guys are all human beings. Mr. Wang's attitude is so obvious. If they are not tactful, it would be too stupid.
"Boss Fang, your bowl of bowls is hurt. I don't think it's worth the price."
"Yes, can you see if it's cheaper?"
These guys who actually didn't want them to reach a deal actually started to help Boss Wang bargain.
For a moment, even Jin Muchen couldn't help but start to doubt the identity of Boss Wang. Seeing these people facing Boss Wang, the attitude of the stars and the crowd competing for the moon, they wanted to recognize their own father. Could it be that Boss Wang is a red noble?
Well, it looks a bit similar.
At this time, Lao Zhang also turned his face to look at Fang Bo and smiled and said, "Lao Fang, we are also old friends. Your bowl is good, but can you see if the price is cheaper? These friends are all refreshing people. This time we made friends, and you will definitely visit your store in the future."
"That's right, do you have to look at the Buddha's face if you don't look at the monk's face?"
"Yes, Boss Fang, are you going to give me some discounts? In the future, everyone will be friends. I will inevitably come to visit you!"
"That's right, harmony makes money! If you give in, just make friends!"
A group of guys immediately started to speak from the side, and Fang Bo touched his chin at this time, and shook his head with a wry smile.
"Okay, who made Lao Zhang my old customer? You are my new friend again? This price is 28,000 yuan, and I can't give up any more. If I let me do it, I will lose money!"
