Antique Dealer

Chapter 85
Liu Yu who was next to him saw the ancient book in Fang Hao's hand, and with his old-fashioned eyes, he also knew that this was not an ordinary version, so he was somewhat surprised.

After Fang Hao read it, he took it in his hand and took a look. He saw that all the wrong writing had been dug out, and then new paper was filled in from the back of the paper.Viewed from the front, there are almost no traces of re-excavation.

Such a performance made him immediately think that this should be the extremely rare version of the Ming Dynasty Neifu on the market.

At that time, the Neifu had strict requirements on the quality of the books. In the process of compiling and transcribing, those who had flaws and omissions were fined and downgraded. are much higher than the folk version.

Even if there is only one copy of "The Analects of Analects" in the Neifu edition, it is hard to come by. Liu Tai looked at it with greedy eyes and wondered if he should buy it himself. It is very good for investment or collection.But think about it again, let's not mention Fang Hao first, I don't have that much money!

Why don't you discuss it with Fang Hao, partner with Fang Hao, buy it at a low price first, and then sell it for a profit?

Just thinking of this, Liu Jie suddenly realized that someone was watching him, raised his head, and saw that Uncle Niu was looking at him with piercing eyes, screaming in his heart that it was terrible, it seemed that he had not controlled his emotions well just now.

Fang Hao next to him didn't think so much, and he didn't think about cheating Ma Xiaohu's mother and son. This doesn't mean that he is a saint, but because he is not short of money and has confidence in his heart. Maliciousness is another matter.

Fang Hao looked carefully at the remaining ancient books. Compared with "The Analects of Confucius Collected Notes", they are all ordinary, and the combined value is only about [-] to [-].

After Fang Hao finished the appraisal, Uncle Niu pointed to the ancient book in his hand and asked, "This "The Analects of Analects" should not be an ordinary version, right?"

Fang Hao didn't pay attention to the eyes Liu Tai cast on him, and said bluntly: "This is the manuscript of the Ming Dynasty's inner court."

Ma Xiaohu cheered up: "What is the inner palace manuscript? Did the emperor read it?"

Fang Hao explained: "The inner palace is the book that was engraved or copied by the internal agencies of the government and palace in the past dynasties, so what you said is correct."

"Is that very valuable?" Ma Xiaohu asked again.

Fang Hao gave an affirmative answer: "It's really not low. You can check the relevant auction records online. The transaction price above can be used as a reference."

After hearing this, Ma Xiaohu hurriedly took out his mobile phone to check it. After a while, he exclaimed: "Can it be sold so expensive?"

Seeing her son's astonished expression, the old lady hurriedly asked, "How much is it worth?"

Ma Xiaohu showed his mother with his mobile phone: "There was a similar one on this last year, and the final transaction price was nearly 130 million!"

"Ah!" The old lady was quite shocked, she didn't expect such a book to be so expensive!Thinking that I usually let it go more casually, I feel scared for a while.

Uncle Niu was also happy for the mother and son, and said: "Although the antique industry has not been very prosperous in the past two years, the value of such high-quality antiques should have increased to some extent, right?"

Fang Hao has never had the idea of ​​defrauding others, but he still has to fight for his own interests: "Master, you can't say that. First of all, this book is not well preserved. In addition, the auction price is to deduct various expenses. Yes, we can only use the auction price as a reference for our private transaction, am I right about that?"

Uncle Niu told the mother and son that what Fang Hao said was indeed the truth.

So, Ma Xiaohu said: "Then you set a price, and I will sell it if it suits you."

Fang Hao thought about it for a while: "Well, I'll give you an integer of 100 million. If you think the price is too low, you suggest asking other people, or putting it up for auction."

"Let's discuss it."

Ma Xiaohu took his mother and Uncle Niu to the side to discuss.

"Uncle Niu, if I take it to the auction, how much will I have to pay?"

"The commission must be at least 15%, and the personal income tax is not low."

After hearing this, Ma Xiaohu took a deep breath: "Hiss, so much? Then the price he gave is quite reasonable."

Uncle Niu nodded: "This young man is indeed a kind person, and he is also very forthright. If you were replaced by some people, it would be good not to lie to you, let alone offer such a reasonable price. Of course, you are going to participate in the auction It’s okay, maybe it can fetch a better price.”

Ma Xiaohu nodded. He also noticed Liu Tai's greed just now: "Mom, do you think we should sell it directly or go to an auction?"

"It's up to you to decide," said the old lady.

Ma Xiaohu thought for a while: "Let's settle down!"

The old lady agreed very happily.

"Boss Fang, the price of this book is what you said."

"Row."

"What about the rest?"

"Do you want it?" Fang Hao looked at Liu Tai and Qian Hao, and seeing that they were not interested, he said to Ma Xiaohu: "If you want to pack these ancient books together, I am willing to pay [-]."

With the comparison, the old lady was somewhat disappointed when she heard the price. She thought about it and looked at her son: "Why don't we keep these books?"

"Okay, let's keep it in mind." Ma Xiaohu immediately agreed, he is not a particularly greedy person, and having 100 million already feels pretty good.

Fang Hao didn't care at first, and didn't force it. It happened that the bank was still closed for a while, so everyone hurried to the bank to transfer money.

Coming out of the bank, Ma Xiaohu shook hands with Fang Hao: "Boss, is it convenient to leave a phone number?"

Fang Hao agreed with a smile, and reported his mobile phone number.

Ma Xiaohu saved the number in his phone and said, "Thanks, I owe you a favor!"

Fang Hao was startled for a moment, and then understood Ma Xiaohu's meaning: "Don't say that, we each take what we need."

Ma Xiaohu said: "I know it in my heart. If you need me in the future, you can call me. I can't do other things, so it's okay to inquire about things."

"Okay." Fang Hao didn't pretend any more, and then Ma Xiaohu left.

Watching Ma Xiaohu leave, Fang Hao said to Liu Yu with a smile: "Boss Liu, I really want to thank you for today's matter. Shall I transfer the money to you directly?"

"Okay, you can transfer it to my bank card." Liu Tai actually felt that Fang Hao was a bit stupid, but he didn't make money when he could make money.

Fang Hao took out his mobile phone and transferred the account to Liu Tai: "Take a look, isn't it?"

Seeing the amount, Liu Tai was slightly taken aback: "Why so much?"

Fang Hao said with a smile: "The Analects of Confucius Collected Notes is also the same."

In the antique business, sellers need trackers, and buyers also need trackers. The so-called trackers are middlemen, guides, or brokers.

Runway people are actually informants. Without them, merchants and collectors are likely to miss some information, so it is very reasonable to give them commissions.

Just like this time today, if it weren't for Liu Tai, Fang Hao would definitely not be able to buy "Nv Fan Bian", let alone Ma Xiaohu's "The Analects of Confucius Collection".

Therefore, Fang Hao will give Liu Tai two commissions. This is not because he is willing to be taken advantage of. It is a reasonable fee. As a customer, Liu Tai will definitely think of him.

In this way, the road will become wider and wider in the future, and if you just throw away the runners for a small profit, the road will only become narrower and narrower, and you will have fewer and fewer friends.

And just like what Fang Hao thought, Liu Tai received the benefit fee, and Fang Hao's impression immediately changed. He felt that Fang Hao was a good friend who could make friends.
