Chapter 6 Yuan Hanyun's Seal of the Second Son
"Yuan Hanyun used many seals, but his favorites were two. The calligraphy and painting he liked used this seal of the second son of the emperor, and the book collection of Bao Ai used the other seal of "live and die with the body."
"Speaking of this, similar to the seal of the second son of the emperor, the second master of the Yuan family, there is Pu Yi's cousin, the second master of the Pu family, Puru. The second master of the Pu family often uses the seal "Old Prince and Grandson" on his proud works. ", the two second masters are comparable. The two seals have different backgrounds, but the seal words fit the identity of the seal owner and reflect the aura of a famous person. After one seal, the price of this thing will be 10% higher."
"What a coincidence today, the second master of the Li family, the second master of the Yuan family, the second master of the Pu family, and Brother Mou are all talking about the second master..."
Mou Duanming was also delighted: "Our business has not been open for three years, and what we eat is information and channels, so the poor must come in and the rich come out. In old age, antiques and pawnshops are indistinguishable, and many rules and routines are the same. Pawnshops generally receive goods. 20% is definitely higher, and generally it will not exceed 40%. The same goes for antique shops.
Last year, the price charged for this item in Shenyang Road was only more than one thousand, which could not exceed one thousand five thousand. Now the market is promising, there may be shopkeepers who are willing to pay up to two thousand five thousand, but it is impossible to go up to three thousand. .You are Nanshi’s favorite student. This is the first time we have met. Because of this friendship, I will pay you five thousand yuan."
After Mou Duanming finished speaking, he took the kettle and refilled the water for Chang Xian and himself one after another.
"Brother Mou says as much as he wants, as long as you don't break the rules." Chang Xian didn't hesitate.
Mou Duanming looked at Chang Xian's unhesitating behavior, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. He walked behind the counter and took out a knife that seemed to be a banknote that had just been taken out of the bank. He broke the seal, pulled it open, separated half of it, and put it on the right side of the counter. After passing it through the banknote counter on the side, there were fifty banknotes.
"Then the surname of this painting is Mou. Xiao Chang, if you pay me some money, we can settle the money and goods."
Mou Duanming put the scroll away and handed over the money.
"Haha, I have paid for tomorrow's meal." Chang Xian did not put the money away, but put the money on the coffee table and put his phone on it. Instead, he picked up his backpack and opened it.
"I still have a few objects here that I collected while walking around the streets. I would like to borrow your insight, Brother Mou, to take a look at them, and also tell me some tips in the industry."
"Oh, I even know the jargon, it kind of means that..."
Chang Xian smiled brightly. Taking advantage of others was Chang Xian's biggest purpose today. He was planning to go out to the stall tomorrow and he didn't even know the status of his stuff. Isn't that a joke?
Things in the antique market are mixed with genuine and fake things, and people who often go shopping in the market often say who has "eye" or not. This "eye" refers to the ability to appreciate antiques.
There are many collectors who have developed their "eyes" at street stalls. However, before they can develop their "eyes", they have to pay a lot of "tuition".
The "eyes" are all one's own, so there is a saying of "borrowing eyes".
It is also common to hear people say at street stalls, "Brother so-and-so, let me take a look at this snuff bottle with your "eyes"". If you can pick up a "leaf" or get a treasure you like, you will have to put the wine on the table. Make tea and give thanks.
This chatter lasted for more than an hour, until the sun set slightly in the west, and the sunlight slanted into the store through the store door, casting long or short, thick or thin shadows.
Chang Xian stopped Mou Duanming from refilling the water, wrapped up several items and put them away one by one, stood up and walked to Mou Duanming, bowed respectfully, and said sincerely: "Today I have to learn from my senior brother and solve my doubts, no matter how small or small it is." , I will answer all your questions, I would be very grateful."
He stood up and put on his backpack, picked up his mobile phone, pressed down the five thousand yuan and said: "This is the first time I come to ask for advice, and I am empty-handed. It is really rude. I am going to practice stall tonight and I have to make some preparations, so I won't treat you to a drink." , this is considered as the money for two bottles of wine as a tribute to you."
Without waiting for Mou Duanming to refuse, Chang Xian turned around and left, his body upright and his handsome figure seemed to have more energy under the sunlight.
Mou Duanming calmly raised his cup to drink tea, gently picked up the stack of banknotes, knocked it on the coffee table a few times, and shook it in the air.
"This Shenyang Road is a bit old. Even if the business is not very good, no one comes to the door for two or three hours..."
When Chang Xian came out, his heart was full of gratitude and joy, and he felt that today's trip was worth it.
Want to know what is the most valuable thing in the world?
It's knowledge.
For most of the afternoon, Mou Duanming answered all the questions he asked and talked about everything he knew. Many of the things he learned at home were accumulated over many years. In the old society, they were just secrets for housekeeping. He did not reserve anything. It gave Chang Xian an intuitive understanding of the antiques industry, which played a significant role in guiding him on this path.
What is the difference between having a teacher and not having a teacher, and being a famous teacher and being a non-famous teacher?
Nothing else but it can reduce the cost of trial and error.
A famous teacher may not know how to teach you to succeed, but he will teach you to avoid failure with a high probability.
When playing Go, winning a game is not about having one or two good moves, but about not making mistakes and not making mistakes.
Life is like chess. The so-called success often means stepping on fewer pitfalls, making fewer mistakes, and living the longest.
If you live without making mistakes and make fewer mistakes, your opponent will be beaten to death, and you can step on the corpse, absorb the nutrients from the corpse, and grow stronger.
Whether it is an individual, a company, or a country, the so-called development is actually a process of making money.
Zeng Guofan, the British East India Company, and the beautiful country all came here this way.
As for the sale of the calligraphy, Mou Duanming followed the rules and Chang Xian didn't think there was any problem. They met by chance and it was impossible to ask others to break the rules and pay according to the market price. The most important thing in dealing with favors is to clarify each other's boundaries so as to adjust There is a sense of propriety in doing things. After all, no one is the center of the earth, and no one will spoil anyone.
You must cherish the goodwill towards yourself and remember the benefits you give yourself. Friendships are built up from scratch, from shallow to deep. It is like saving money in a bankbook. As long as you keep on keeping on, you will eventually be able to make it. To deposit a large amount, the main thing is to judge whether the other party can deposit it at the beginning and whether it is necessary to open this account.
as big as World, nothing is nonexistent.
There is a kind of market, which is different from the market we often talk about. It usually opens at two o'clock in the morning and disappears without a trace after dawn. As the saying goes, "it closes in the middle of the night and disperses when the cock crows", this kind of mysterious market It is known as the "ghost market".
Ghost markets are extremely rare in China, and Jinmen is the most prosperous, even surpassing the capital city for a long time.
It sounds mysterious, but in fact the so-called "ghost market" is a special morning market. There are six places in Jinmen including Xiguan Street, Shenyang Road, Sangong, Dafeng Bridge, Ancient Culture Street and Baoji Road. The other five are old ones. There are mostly goods and daily necessities, ranging from children's toys, furniture accessories, to large appliances.
