Financial freedom starts with the daily intelligence system!

Chapter 63: Even if the deal fails, the righteousness remains! (Please read on!)
Zhang Bo grew up playing in the antique street.

There is another store like this at home.

He has a good understanding of antiques due to the influence of his surroundings.

Like ceramics, ancient coins, copper coins and so on.

He only needed to take a glance to estimate its approximate value in his mind.

The nickname of Panjiayuan Xiaotingquan is not for nothing.

However, the Melo Pearl that Jiang Tao brought today is a rare thing that only one in tens of thousands of coconut snails can be found.

In addition, Zhang Bo’s family’s main business is not jewelry.

This time, it touched upon his blind spot in knowledge.

"Hey buddy, wait a minute, I'll call our boss and ask."

"I'm a little unsure about you, darling."

Whenever Zhang Bo is undecided about something, he still has to ask his father who goes fishing every day for advice.

Even though the old man rarely comes to the store, any item priced over 10 yuan still requires his approval before purchase.

"Hey, Dad, can you tell me if we can accept this? How much can we accept?"

The video call was connected, and a man wearing a green military coat and a Lei Feng hat, fishing on the ice, appeared on the phone screen.

The man looked to be in his sixties and was Zhang Long, the owner of Boya Auction House.

"Wow! The Flame Orb, a rare and good thing! And it looks like it's new."

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Long recognized the Flame Pearl at a glance and was certain that the pearl was authentic.

You can even tell that this bead is new.

Even if you have worked in an auction house for decades and don't have this little bit of vision, then all your work would be in vain.

Zhang Long asked, "How much does the customer want?"

Zhang Bo answered truthfully: "12."

"It's a bit expensive. Our profit margin is very small. The most we can offer is 10. Ask him if he wants to sell it. If not, let him wait a little longer."

"Okay! Then you're busy!"

Zhang Bo emphasized the word "busy".

Obviously, he was very unhappy about his old man going out fishing every day and tying him up in the store every day.

"Hey kid, can I give you an extra 2 yuan in pocket money this month?"

"That's what you said! Okay! Take your time fishing, I'll go and greet the guests."

When Zhang Bo heard that he could get an extra 2 yuan in pocket money this month, he immediately felt relieved and happy!

After finishing the call with his father, Zhang Bo returned to Jiang Tao with the Melo Beads.

"Brother, our boss said that the maximum price you can get for this bead is 10."

"If you can accept this price, we can pay the money and receive the goods, and settle the payment in cash."

Zhang Bo's face looked sincere.

Even if the deal fails this time, there may be opportunities for cooperation next time.

When doing business, harmony is the most important thing, especially in the antique business, old customers are more important.

It is no exaggeration to say that 70% of Zhang Bo’s store’s annual profit comes from old customers.

Develop a few more old customers and you can have enough food to eat every year by relying on them.

"Sorry, I won't sell it for 10. It's too far off."

Jiang Tao was not upset or holding a grudge because of the failed transaction. He still had a gentle smile on his face.

Buying and selling is based on mutual consent. There is no such thing as forced buying or selling. Even if the deal fails, the friendship remains.

The intelligence system estimated the value of this Melo Pearl at 12 yuan, but the price Zhang Bo gave was 2 yuan less.

Jiang Tao is not in a hurry to use the money now, so he naturally won't spend it easily.

"Then buddy, you can look around again. If you meet the right owner, you might be able to sell it for more." "If no one offers a higher price than us, you are always welcome to come back."

As Zhang Bo spoke, he handed the Melo Pearl back to Jiang Tao and said with a smile:
"Let me give you a small box. The pearl goes well with the box, and it will look more classy when you take it out."

After Zhang Bo finished speaking, he turned around and took out a small box the size of a palm from a wooden cabinet and handed it to Jiang Tao.

For this kind of jewelry box, Zhang Bo and his team only need to spend three or four dollars to order one in bulk.

If we can gain Jiang Tao's favor and develop him into a regular customer, we can earn thousands or even tens of thousands of times more!

The nice banknote that Jiang Tao sold here before earned Zhang Bo's family more than 1 yuan.

"Thank you. How much is this box? I'll scan it for you."

After Jiang Tao took the jewelry box, he took out his mobile phone to pay.

"It's just a worthless little thing. I told you it's a gift, so why would I ask for money? Just use it. I'll just consider it a token of my friendship."

"If you have anything you want to sell in the future, remember to come to us first. We will definitely give you the most sincere price."

Although Zhang Bo is young, he is very experienced in the ways of the world. Just a few words from him made Jiang Tao feel quite favorable towards him.

"Okay, thanks."

Seeing that the other party insisted on not taking money, Jiang Tao stopped being polite with him, put the Melo Pearl into the jewelry box, turned around and prepared to go out.

Zhang Bo suddenly called out, "Wait a minute, buddy... Let's add each other on WeChat so we can get in touch if we need anything later."

"Okay, I'll scan you."

More friends mean more paths. Jiang Tao took out his mobile phone and scanned Zhang Bo's QR code, and the two added each other as friends.

After adding friends, Jiang Tao went out and continued strolling around the antique street.

By the way, I also found four jewelry recycling businesses to inquire about the prices.

Among these four jewelry recyclers, the lowest bid was only 6, and the highest bid was only 9.

After much deliberation, it turned out that the 10 offered by Zhang Bo's family was the highest price!
However, Jiang Tao was not in a hurry to go back to Zhang Bo to sell the goods, and decided to wait and see.

This thing doesn't have an expiration date or anything, and it won't spoil, so there's no need to rush to sell it.

I strolled around the antique street until noon.

Jiang Tao found a small restaurant nearby and ordered a plate of fried meat pancake for a simple lunch.

After eating and drinking, he had nothing else to do in the afternoon, so he continued to stroll around the antique street until around 6 o'clock in the evening.

Today he was not in a hurry to take the subway back to Xiaoshahe.

Instead, I found a Hanting Hotel near the Antique Street and stayed there.

In the days before the New Year, he planned to stick to the antique street and confront the antique market.

He wanted to try and see if he could increase the probability of triggering some information about antiques by going there more often.

If only I could find an antique worth hundreds of thousands or even millions, just like what's written in some online novels...

Wouldn’t I become rich overnight?

After checking in, Jiang Tao first ordered a large plate of chicken noodles on the takeaway platform.

While waiting for the meal, I went to the bathroom and took a comfortable hot shower.

Of course, there is no bathroom in the rental house he lives in now, so it is very inconvenient to take a shower.

In the summer, you can go to a public pool and scrub yourself shirtless, but that's not possible in the winter.

There is a public bathhouse in Xiaoshahe Village. The fee is not expensive, only 18 yuan, and there are showers and bathing pools.

But according to Liu Zhiyuan, there were many people picking up soap inside, so Jiang Tao really didn't dare to enter that dangerous place.

It has been more than ten days since he last took a shower. After rubbing himself, he felt like he had lost several pounds.

Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong——

While taking a shower, Jiang Tao's cell phone on the bed kept flashing, and he received several voice messages from Zhang Bo.
