How can I go back to the past?

Chapter 100 Bargaining (4)

This thing is different from other antiques. Other antiques need to be verified for authenticity and age.

But it is not necessary for yellow croaker, because this thing is only from the Republic of China, and it can be confirmed with a simple identification.

But even so, Mr. Hu spent about twenty minutes on the appraisal, both measuring and measuring.

"Mr. Li, how much do you want to pay for this?" asked Teacher Hu.

"I should ask you this! How much do you plan to charge?" Li Le asked in return.

Although Li Le didn't understand all this, he had a price in mind and he would not sell it below this price.

Teacher Hu looked at Li Le, then at the big yellow croaker on the table, and finally held up five fingers and said, "This is the highest price we can offer."

Of course, these five fingers cannot be worth 50,000. After all, they would not sell for more than that much if sold by gram.

It is impossible that it is worth five million. Although the yellow croaker is precious, it is not a real antique. It can only be considered a semi-antique, so it is impossible for it to be worth five million.

So it is five hundred thousand. Five hundred thousand seems very high, two hundred thousand higher than the three hundred thousand that was sold for more than ten years ago. But in fact, this price is too low.

What was the market like a dozen years ago? What is the market like now? Let’s not talk about the value of gold, even the appreciation of antiques cannot be so much.

So when he heard and saw the offer from Teacher Hu, Li Le shook his head, picked up the yellow croaker, stood up and walked outside.

"Sir, please wait a moment, can we discuss this further?" Teacher Hu shouted.

Li Le turned around, looked at Mr. Hu and said, "The price you offered is not sincere at all. I think there is no need to negotiate."

"No! In business, you have to bargain until one is willing to buy and the other is willing to sell."

After hearing this, Li Le walked back, sat down and said, "Give me a fair price!"

"To tell you the truth! The current market price of yellow croaker is about 750,000 yuan. You have to let us make some money."

"Yes! That's true. How about this! Seven hundred and forty-five thousand." Li Le said seriously.

"puff!"

Li Le's words almost made Teacher Hu spit out blood.

Let me make a little money, just give up 5,000! With such a big investment, just to make 5,000 yuan, no one would do it.

"Mr. Li, you are too much. Let me tell you the truth! Our highest offer is seventy."

"Teacher Hu, don't make a decision yet. I didn't say there's only one. I just wanted you to take a look at it first."

"Oh!"

"Mr. Li still has some at home? I wonder how many there are?"

For other antiques, the fewer there are, the more valuable they are, but it is different for yellow croaker.

If the quantity reaches a certain level, it is likely to be sold at a high price, especially to collectors.

Other antiques may depreciate or even become worthless during special periods, but gold antiques are different!

This thing will only appreciate and never depreciate at any time.

Many collectors are particularly fond of semi-antiques such as yellow croaker, but the number is too small to be worth collecting.

Li Le held up two fingers and said, "So many."

"Twenty?"

Li Le shook his head and said, "Two hundred."

"Hiss!" Teacher Hu took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Li, if it's 200, I can give you 745,000."

In fact, Li Le had 236 large yellow croakers in his hand, and he wanted to keep some for himself, so he reported 200.

"By the way, do you want some small yellow croaker?"

"Of course, we want both big and small yellow croaker, but the price of small yellow croaker is only one tenth of that of big yellow croaker." "Yeah!" Li Le nodded.

The weight of small yellow croaker is only one tenth of that of large yellow croaker, so of course the price is the same.

"Okay, prepare the money! I'll send it over tomorrow." Li Le said and stood up.

"Wait a moment." Seeing Li Le was about to leave, Teacher Hu hurriedly called him.

"What else?"

"Sir, can I ask how many small yellow croakers there are? Don't get me wrong, I just want to know how much money I need to prepare."

"About eight hundred!"

"okay, I get it."

Li Le left Zhenbaozhai, went outside the market, and took a taxi home.

"Master, just drive, I'm going to go around."

Li Le's words made the driver confused. What does "going around" mean? Even if you are going around, at least give a rough idea of ​​the place!
Seeing the driver looking at him, Li Le quickly said, "Let's go to Xidan first."

"Okay, sit down."

After arriving at Xidan, Li Le asked the driver to go to Xizhimen, and then drove around the West Fourth Ring Road. After making sure that no one was following him, Li Le got off the car.

After walking for a while, I called a taxi and asked the driver to go to Dongzhimen.

When they arrived at Dongzhimen, Li Le got off the bus and had a meal before taking a taxi home.

Although he felt it was unnecessary, it never hurts to be cautious. If Li Le was alone, he wouldn't be worried, but he has a family!
After returning home, Li Le took a shower and went to sleep.

The next morning, Li Le found a particularly sturdy leather suitcase and put the big yellow croaker and small yellow croaker into it.

Although this thing doesn't take up much space, it is really heavy. If someone else were to lift it, it would be impossible. You have to know that it weighs nearly 200 kilograms!
Only Li Le is strong, and he doesn't take the 200 pounds seriously at all.

After taking a bus to Panjiayuan, when Li Le came to Zhenbaozhai with his suitcase, he saw Teacher Hu and the clerk standing in the store.

Needless to say, this was waiting for him.

Sure enough, when they saw Li Le coming in, two people hurriedly came up to him and took Li Le inside.

This time he was not in the reception room, but in the reception room inside, where there was a middle-aged man in his forties.

Seeing Li Le and the others coming in, the middle-aged man stood up, stretched out his hand to Li Le and said, "Hello, Mr. Li, I am the owner of Zhenbaozhai, my last name is Qi."

"Hello, Boss Qi!"

Li Le stretched out his hand and shook hands with Boss Qi.

"Please take a seat."

Li Le put the box down first, then sat down and said, "I brought all the things here, you can take a look first."

Hearing what Li Le said, the clerk hurried over and prepared to pick up the box and put it on the table.

Li Le tried to stop him quickly, but he was a step too slow. As soon as the clerk exerted force, the box did not move and the man fell down. Fortunately, Li Le tried to stop him and just happened to help him up.

Otherwise, he would have definitely fallen hard. Are you kidding me? It's over 200 pounds! How could he lift it?

"Are you okay?" Li Le asked.

"No...it's okay."

Then he saw Li Le lightly picked up the box and put it on the table.

In fact, Li Le's action was deliberate. He just wanted to let the other party know that he was not someone to be trifled with.
