Chapter 355 Trading
Chapter 355 Transaction
If the price difference between the two parties is not big, Ah San doesn't care that the price must be limited to the range of how much! After all, this is a transaction on antiques, not buying vegetables in the vegetable market! If any antique product that has a good quality, even if it is of better quality, its market price will fluctuate significantly. It not only has a lot to do with the quality of the thing itself, but also has the timing of sale and pre-hype!
Therefore, A San would not care too much about the small amount involved in a transaction with a man named Hu! The reason why the price could not be negotiated before was entirely because of the man named Hu's stubborn personality. He insisted on the price at once, and there was no room for maneuver. A San naturally would not agree simply.
Speaking of this, A San and Jia Sidao looked at each other, and they naturally understood each other's thoughts.
This batch of goods is a good thing. As long as the price is right, they will definitely not let it go. The little horse next to them is also ready to move! As long as Ah San takes down the jade pot spring bottle, it will be the time for him to negotiate with a man named Hu about the pottery pot and white jade pendant!
"I think this proposal is also very good." The man surnamed Hu thought about it for a moment. After Asan nodded, he finally nodded. Only Zhang San on the side looked at Asan and the man surnamed Hu and others, and the smile on the corners of his mouth became a little stronger. Compared to the unsuccessful transaction, he, as an intermediary, naturally hoped that the transaction would be successful.
"I also agree with such a proposal. At least, it will not let one party suffer any losses." Li Gou nodded, "However, I think there are still some details."
"Oh? Let's hear it?" As the proposer of this suggestion, Jia Sidao naturally asked without hesitation.
"The things here include jade pot spring bottles, white jade pendants, ceramic pots, porcelain jars, and an iron lump that no one knows what it is." Li Gou said, "There are five things in total. If you bid first, one side will definitely be three times and the other side will be twice. Then, there will undoubtedly be one side that will suffer losses. Moreover, the value of these five things is very different. I think that those iron lumps, porcelain jars, etc. must be less than the jade pot spring bottles. White jade pendants are valuable, right? If you bid first, they are all worthless things, but when we bid first, they are all valuable things, then we are also very at a disadvantage."
"Okay." Jia Sidao had to look at Li Gou differently. In such a short time, he could think of the current problem so clearly. Could it be that he was really a confused young man staying in the mountain village? Thinking of this, Jia Sidao looked at Zhang San with some angrily. He didn't know that he would greet him in advance.
At least, it cannot change the situation where Li Gou is not present, and it can also make Jia Sidao, A San and others have a clear idea!
"Since you also know the value of some of these things, whether they are right or not. In short, first, according to your opinion, list these things in an order, and then we will choose whether we will bid first or you will bid first. What do you think?" Jia Sidao said as he spread his hands, which was a relatively compromise.
A San and Xiao Ma gathered together with Jia Sidao for a while, and nodded in agreement.
The man surnamed Hu on the other side looked at Li Gou with Li Gou. Obviously, the man surnamed Hu still believed in Li Gou more. Especially within such a short time, the opinions raised by Li Gou were all directed to the man surnamed Hu, and the man surnamed Hu couldn't help but distrust Li Gou.
"Okay." Li Gou didn't refuse, pulled the man surnamed Hu, walked to a corner, muttering something in a low voice.
On the side, Xiaoma glared at Zhang San fiercely, complaining that Zhang San had found such a difficult-to-treat person like Li Gou. Zhang San was also quite bachelor and smiled without refuting. What else could he say? Could it be that he did not mean it? Then someone should believe it!
Moreover, as long as the transaction is successful, Zhang San couldn't even think that the higher the transaction amount, the better.
Only when the transaction amount is high can the value of the thing this time be so great that the intermediary can get more commission.
Li Gou and the man surnamed Hu walked to the edge of the table and began to play with the five items in an orderly manner. First, they placed the first jade pot and spring bottle that Ah San had liked! Jia Sidao couldn't help but frown when he looked at it!
This move is really amazing!
It happened that at this time, Ah San also looked at Jia Sidao, and the three of them discussed Li Gou's actions. Since he was confident that he would place the jade pot spring bottle in the first place, he must have the idea of wanting Ah San to bid first. Then, without Jia Sidao guessing, he could understand that Li Gou's plan was to ask Ah San to offer the price three times, so that they would take a considerable advantage. Because the man surnamed Hu only needed to offer the price twice.
In addition, Li Gou would not let good things besides Yuhuchun Bottle be ranked second and fourth.
As long as the man surnamed Hu offered first, it was a relatively low-value thing. Then, no matter what, it was a reduction in losses for the man surnamed Hu!
Let’s not talk about whether Li Gou’s valuation of these five things is accurate or not. Just relying on Li Gou’s strategy, it may be enough for A San, Jia Sidao, Xiao Ma and the other two to have a headache for a while!
"I think we don't seem to have any other choice." Asan said with a wry smile. He should be determined to win the Yuhu Chun Bottle. Moreover, among the three, there is nothing between them, A San. The money needed to buy things must be paid from Asan. If Xiaoma wants to buy his own things, she has to wait until Asan finishes the transaction before she can take action. After all, with his own financial strength, it is impossible to win these things, and he will not persuade Zhang San to bring him here alone. He came here as a helping Asan.
If Ah San did not succeed in the transaction and he would rob it, all of them would comply with the rules!
What is the most important thing in the antique industry?
Funding? It is of course important; eyesight? It is also very important; interpersonal relationships? Well, this is also very important. Without interpersonal relationships, you can't get along at all; other factors will be more or less. However, these are not the most important.
The most important thing is undoubtedly that those who enter the industry must understand the rules of this industry.
People who don’t understand the rules can only be eliminated by the market!
Just say it is funds. Although you have sufficient funds at the beginning, it is easier for you to enter the industry and more easily let you get in contact with good collectibles. However, the funds needed to start with antique collections do not require a lot of funds. On the contrary, many collectors do not have much money when they first enter the collection industry. They start from the antique street stall, "take medicine", "picking up the bargains", and "picking up the bargains". They are all taken step by step. Don't be afraid of "picking up the bargains", and don't be afraid of losing. As long as you have a chance to find a big leak, then all the "losses" can basically be made back. After all, when you have a lot of money, even if you are suffering from losses, how much money can you spend? A good antique product is worth millions or tens of millions.
As for your eyesight, it is not enough to just talk. You need to continue to experience in the antique market.
And interpersonal relationships? As long as you spend a long time and have a certain foundation, you will always have some. Not to mention that compared with those collector families, it is still very easy to be familiar with the antique market. As long as you don’t commit crimes or something, there will definitely be no one who wants to go against you in any particular way!
But if you break the rules of this antique industry, it is not a problem of money, eyesight, or interpersonal relationships, but you are against the entire antique industry! Even if you do not harm the vital interests of some experts, they will not help you with anything.
Especially for antique vendors like Xiaoma who make a living by setting up street stalls on antique streets. If the rules are broken and they will not be in the antique industry, they will not be able to live in them! No wonder Xiaoma at this time, after hearing A San's words, he nodded quickly and said, "Why don't we just follow their thoughts. Let us start bidding first. I want to see if Li Gou's eyesight is really so reliable!"
"Okay!" Jia Sidao heard from Xiaoma's words that he wanted to compete with Li Gou. Until now, Jia Sidao has been smooth sailing all the way. Even when he looked at what he liked, he could "picking up bargains", it was purely luck. The only active attack was to go to Henan, but he returned empty-handed! Mu Zaocang just came back with the "picking up bargains", which had nothing to do with his original purpose of going there to collect porcelain. Recently, in the antique market in Linhai, Jia Sidao also acted with his own temperament. If he liked it, he would take action. If he didn't like it, standing by the side to watch other people's transactions was considered a great pleasure!
However, some battles in collections are rarely seen.
As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. In terms of collection, many collectors also like to compete with each other. At this moment, Li Gou’s “scheme” arranged by the man surnamed Hu is obviously the most beneficial to the performance of the man surnamed Hu.
Jia Sidao looked at the table, just as the three of them expected. In addition to the first thing that was the jade pot spring bottle, the third and fifth ones were the more valuable white jade pendants and ceramic basins that Li Gou once said! As for the second and fourth positions, they were iron lumps and porcelain jars!
As a result, A San and Xiao Ma could only look at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and were a little helpless. However, A San still had some leisure time, patted Jia Sidao on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Jia, did you know this situation in advance, so you came here to make this suggestion?"
"What does it mean?" Jia Sidao was stunned.
"You think, everything A San and I want is required to offer first, and the remaining things that Brother Hu has offered first will naturally be left for you to buy." Xiao Ma said at Jia Si, laughed at Jia Sidao, and blinked his eyes, which was considered to be teasing Jia Sidao.
"It's really like this." Jia Sidao said with a wry smile, "It seems that I have a chance to pick up a bargain again. I just don't know if picking up something that will be valuable." Seeing Xiaoma, the smile on her face seemed to be a little stronger. Jia Sidao couldn't help but say angrily, "Other, Brother Ma, let's discuss, will I change the deal with you, will I make a deal?"
"Forget it, let me take care of the loss, brother." Xiao Ma sighed pretendingly, as if I didn't go to hell, who would go to hell, and said, "You are still young, just wait to find a bargain."
"Hahaha," A San said with a smile, "You'd better wait to find the bargain. Well, just treat it as the fare you took us here this time."
For this reason, Jia Sidao couldn't help laughing. The three of them were so relaxed that Li Gou's face became a little gloomy. At least, it would make him doubt whether his plan was a mistake, right? Therefore, Jia Sidao, A San and Xiao Ma also understood in his heart that Li Gou's eyesight in the collection of antiques is still not as confident as these three of them, right?
"It costs 20,000 yuan. This is my highest psychological price." Asan said confidently.
"Twenty thousand yuan is still a little bit short. My price is 50,000 yuan." The man surnamed Hu insisted that it would cost 50,000 yuan.
"Then it's 22,000 yuan. I can only add this little. If I have more, I can make a lot of money. Brother Hu, you have to think clearly. Although I am optimistic about this thing, I will tell the truth. I am a businessman. I guess no businessman will do anything without profits, right?" Although A San was smiling, his tone of speaking was somewhat decisive.
Only Jia Sidao, a man who is a little familiar with A San, understands that since the man surnamed Hu can still bargain for the 20,000 yuan proposed by A San, he must be able to accept this jade pot spring bottle at a relatively suitable price?
Sure enough, in the end, after a few minutes of tug-of-war, the final transaction price was 28,000 yuan. Ah San directly ordered cash to the man surnamed Hu on the spot. This was also a strategy discussed by Ah San and Jia Sidao and Xiaoma. As long as the first transaction was successful and the payment was paid immediately, the RMB in front of him would undoubtedly have a great visual impact on a rural man like the man surnamed Hu!
It is also convenient for Jia Sidao and Xiaoma to bargain in the next bargaining price!
As for A San, if this jade pot spring bottle is really the authentic product from the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, it would not be 28,000 yuan, or even if it is more than ten or twenty times, 280,000 yuan or 560,000 yuan, A San would buy it without hesitation? If it is just an "old imitation", the price of 28,000 yuan is not too expensive.
"Brother Hu, the transaction for the first jade pot spring bottle has been completed. So, how much do you plan to pay for the price of this iron lump?" Jia Sidao looked at the man surnamed Hu with some fun and said, "Don't say that the price of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan is not as rich as Ah San."
"That's natural, that's natural." The man surnamed Hu seemed quite happy about his first business. Any man who planted some fields in the village suddenly got 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, and the satisfaction in his heart was indescribable. "I will open a half price according to the psychological price, about 5,000 yuan, how about it?"
The meaning of this statement is not only reduced the price, but also has a bit of negotiation in the tone. It seems that if Jia Sidao is not satisfied with such a price, he can continue to discuss it!
Jia Sidao naturally would not let it go, so he bargained directly and said, "Five thousand yuan is still a little more expensive. This lump is nothing more than a metal, not gold and silver. If it weren't for looking at the age of age, it wouldn't be worth much at all. Then, to sell rags, it would have to be worth a few cents per pound."
"Then how much do you say?" The man surnamed Hu asked very much when he heard this. Suddenly, Li Gou, who was next to him, pulled the man surnamed Hu. The man surnamed Hu then said embarrassedly, "According to my opinion, it is an antique after all, and it costs 5,000 yuan, it should be very cheap."
"It costs three thousand yuan." Jia Sidao thought for a while and said.
"Four thousand!" The man surnamed Hu gestured four fingers, his expression very firm!
"One person retreats, three thousand five, how about it?" Jia Sidao hesitated for a moment.
"make a deal!"
The subsequent white jade pendant was because Xiaoma and the man surnamed Hu had too different views on the price of the jade pendant, and no deal was reached. The price of Xiaoma opened first was 3,000 yuan. This was a fair price for the white jade pendant in front of him. Moreover, Xiaoma's time at the antique stall was not in vain. However, the man surnamed Hu insisted on the price and needed 10,000 yuan. Isn't this a stubborn mind?
However, just as Xiaoma was about to say a few words, the man surnamed Hu said: "It is true that gold has a price, and jade has no price."
Xiao Ma immediately stopped talking.
I don’t know who told him the words of the man surnamed Hu. According to his personality, it is a bit unusual to know such words. The biggest possibility is naturally what Li Gou said. Moreover, from the surface, this sentence is also correct. Otherwise, it would not have become a common saying in the antique industry!
