Antique Dealer

Chapter 213 See also the Hook
The proprietress waited for Fang Hao to put down the Guo inkstone in her hand, and she couldn't wait to ask: "Brother, is this Fang Hao's inkstone worth repairing?"

Fang Hao said bluntly: "This square inkstone is called Guo inkstone, and the production time should not exceed a hundred years. Its value is not high. If it is a complete product, it will be worth a few hundred yuan."

"That's it!" The couple had disappointed expressions on their faces.

Fang Hao went on to say: "Actually, the damage to this inkstone is not serious. You can also use epoxy glue to glue it together. You may not be able to achieve the finished product repaired by professionals in the end, but there is no problem in normal use. "

"Can we really repair it ourselves?" The couple became happy again. If they can repair it themselves, they don't need to spend money on repairs, and they don't need to bother others.The symbolic meaning of this inkstone is greater than its practical value, as long as it can be repaired, it doesn't have to be too pretty.

"Of course, you can record it with your mobile phone, and I'll tell you how to fix it."

"thank you so much!"

After the proprietress finished recording Fang Hao's explanation, the two of them thanked again and again.

Fang Hao smiled and waved his hands, expressing that you are welcome, and turned his gaze to the remaining Fang Chengni inkstone: "As for this Fang Chengni inkstone, it is Chengni inkstone, one of the four famous inkstones, and judging from the above model, it is It is a self-use inkstone for the home festival of calligraphy and painting in the Ming Dynasty.

After hearing this introduction, the couple were pleasantly surprised and couldn't wait to ask about the price.

Fang Hao said: "The price I can give is around 45."

"What, it can be worth 45!" The proprietress yelled with her eyes widened when she heard the price. Obviously, the price exceeded her expectations.

Although the boss's expression was not that exaggerated, he was shocked, and at the same time, there was a trace of anger flashing across his face.

The couple's performance can be seen at a glance. Someone has seen this inkstone before and gave it a very low value. This kind of situation is very common in the antique industry, and Fang Hao is not surprised.

"Of course, what I'm talking about is the market price. If you take it to auction, the transaction price may be higher, but if you count all kinds of expenses, it may not be much higher than the market price. I don't know if the two of you have transferred this inkstone. thoughts?"

"You want to buy?"

"That's right." Seeing the boss's expression, Fang Hao knew that he was worried that the price he gave was low, so he took out his business card and put it on the table, and said with a smile, "If you two are worried, you can go to consult Other experts, if you want to transfer at that time, you can call me."

Just as the boss was about to speak, the proprietress said, "If you can pay 50 yuan, we will sell this inkstone to you."

The boss opened his mouth, but when the words came to his lips, he was frightened back by his wife's stare.

"50..."

It's not that Fang Hao can't agree to this price, but it's just too happy, and the other party may go back on his word, pretending to hesitate for a moment, and then said: "48."

"We definitely won't sell it for less than 50 yuan." The proprietress shook her head repeatedly.

Fang Hao sighed lightly: "Then 50, please give me the bank card number, and I will transfer the money to you."

"Can the mobile phone transfer 50 yuan at a time?" The owner's own mobile phone can transfer up to [-] yuan a day, so she is worried that Fang Hao will lie to him.

"You have to go to the bank to activate the service." Fang Hao took out a universal USB shield from his bag.

The subsequent transfer process went smoothly, and the proprietress received the transfer information with a smile on her face.

Watching Fang Hao leave, the boss frowned and said, "Why did you sell the inkstone?"

The proprietress said with a cold face, "Don't sell it, and when your younger brother knows the value of the inkstone, will he come to make trouble?"

"Probably not." The boss said this without any confidence.

"Probably not!" The proprietress's voice became sharp: "You have the nerve to say that, what Boss Li he brought before, how did he price the inkstone? Not even [-]! You can guarantee that he didn't accept that person Good point!"

The boss touched his nose and said in a low voice: "Okay, the matter is over, let's not talk about it."

"Hey!" The lady boss wanted to curse a few more words with a cold face, but she rolled her eyes when she saw her husband being cowardly.

At this moment, a young man in his thirties rushed in excitedly: "Brother, sister-in-law, I'm sending it off now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a glass on his own, poured a glass of water, drank it gulply, and was about to pour another glass, when he saw some familiar boxes on the table not far away, his heart skipped a beat , walked over quickly, and saw that there was only one broken inkstone in the box.

"Brother, have you sold the other inkstone?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?" The boss replied coldly.

"Why did you sell it? The boss Li told me yesterday that he could raise the price."

"Oh, by how much?"

"One hundred thousand."

"I sold it for 15."

This sentence immediately blocked what Zhong Ren wanted to say, and he was very annoyed. If he had known this, he might as well have asked Boss Li to bid 15 yuan, and he could still get 2 yuan as a reward.

"You just said you were going to get rich, what's going on?"

Brother's words dispelled Zhong Ren's annoyance, and with a smile on his face, he took out an exquisite gilt bronze belt hook inlaid with gemstones from his pocket: "I just bought a belt hook from the Warring States Period for 20 yuan. It can be sold for 40 in just a few hands!"

"It's so good, can you double the profit?" Although the proprietress also thinks that this colorful piece is pretty, she doesn't believe that it can sell for 40 yuan.

Zhong Ren drank another half a glass of water: "Sister-in-law, you don't understand this. This is called picking up leaks. Let alone earning 20, it is possible to earn 2000 million!"

He put down the water glass in his hand, and happened to notice the business card that Fang Hao put on the table just now, took it out and took a look, it was an antique dealer from the capital, and the antique city from the capital, needless to say, he must be very rich.

"Brother, is this the person who bought the inkstone just now?"

"Yes, you want to sell things to him?" Of course, the boss didn't want his brother to sell things to Fang Hao, lest Fang Hao tell the purchase price of the inkstone, which might cause trouble, but Zhong Ren saw Fang Hao Hao's business card, it's hard for him to open his eyes and talk nonsense.

"Then I'll call him and ask if he accepts it."

"They just left, you go outside to see if anyone is still there."

Zhong Ren walked outside the door, looked around, didn't see Fang Hao and the others, so he took out his mobile phone and dialed the mobile number on his business card.

The conversation was divided into two parts. After walking out of the small restaurant, Fang Hao proposed to go back to the hotel.

Seeing that the old man was indeed a little tired, everyone agreed except Fang Shifu.

Fang Shifu muttered something in his mouth, but did not raise any objection.

Fang Hao took out his mobile phone and prepared to call a taxi.

Fang Shifu said: "Xiao Hao, you praised Fang Yantai so much just now, didn't you let the other party raise the price?"

Fang Hao smiled and said: "It definitely depends on the occasion. If it was a normal transaction, I wouldn't be so stupid, otherwise I wouldn't miss it. But like the situation just now, it's equivalent to paying for my appraisal. I definitely want to Sticking to the work ethic, talking bullshit is making fun of my reputation."

Fang Shifu nodded in satisfaction. His grandson kept picking up leaks, and he was a little worried about whether he would be unkind to the rich. In order to pick up leaks, he even ignored morality. Today, it seems that his worries are unnecessary.

At this time, the weather was cloudy and began to rain lightly. Considering the number of passengers, Fang Hao called a commercial vehicle and it would take a while to arrive. Everyone hurriedly found a place to hide from the rain while waiting for the bus.

Before the car arrived, Fang Hao received a call from a local stranger, and he answered the call.

"Who is it please?"

"Hi, I'm the younger brother of the one who sold the inkstone just now. I have a bronze hook inlaid with gemstones from the Warring States period in my hand. Do you want it?"

"Warring States Belt Hook?" Fang Hao murmured in his heart, is it related to the Warring States Belt Hook today?
"Yes, it is inherited from my family, do you want it?"

Fang Hao sneered in his heart, this kind of bronze wares are often said to be ancestral, but how many people are telling the truth?
"Where are you now?"

"I'm in my brother's hotel right now, if you want to come as soon as possible, I'm leaving soon."

"Wait a mininute"

Fang Hao told his grandfather about this matter.

Fang Shifu said: "You go, we just wait here. Be careful."

Fang Hao saw that the commercial vehicle would not arrive in a while on the mobile phone, and he should have time, nodded and said: "Okay, I will come as soon as I go."

Fang Hao returned to the small restaurant and saw that besides the owner and his wife, there was a young man in his 30s with a greasy face. He wondered in his heart, could this be the owner's brother? The two of them didn't look alike.

The boss greeted him and introduced Fang Hao.

Fang Hao shook hands with Zhong Ren: "I'm short on time, please take out the belt hook."

"That's it." Zhong Ren put the hook on his hand.

Fang Hao took a closer look, and was speechless immediately. Isn't this the one he saw in the scenic spot before? How did it get into his hands? Could it be that he and those people are in the same group?

Zhong Ren noticed that Fang Hao was stunned, and he was a little surprised: "What's wrong?"

"Let me take a look first." Fang Hao didn't look carefully just now, so he just took this opportunity to take a look slowly.

"Give!"

Fang Hao saw Zhong Ren put the things directly in front of him, and thought, he is also a ignorant person, could he be deceived by those people?

"Please put it on the table, this is the rule in our business."

"Oh." Zhong Ren reacted, and put the belt hook on the table next to him.

Fang Hao picked up the belt hook and looked at the belt hook very carefully. After a while, he secretly let out a sigh of relief. The previous judgment should be correct. This belt hook is indeed a fake, but it can do so well. Realistic, I have to say that the craftsmanship is amazing.

If this technology is mature enough to be mass-produced, there will be a steady stream of counterfeit products flowing into the market from Du Youhao's hands in the future. By then, I don't know how many people will drill eyes, and even go bankrupt. It's scary to think about it.

Not only Qian Min, but Fang Hao wanted to bring Du Youhao to justice as soon as possible.
