Chapter 133 The Mystery of Antiques

The price of 1000 million is neither high nor low.

The estimated price of that crystal cluster is more than 2000 million, and it can even reach 500 million.In addition to making the three sets of jewelry customized by Kuang Ji, there is almost one-third of the remaining crystals, and the cost price is about 150 million. Adding the [-] million processing fee paid by Kuang Ji and the craftsmanship of the master craftsman, the price is tens of millions. It's really not high.

But then again, if the crystal jewelry has been kept in the hands of Kuang Ji without being known and not circulated in the market, some people will think it is expensive, let alone tens of millions.

Kuang Ji actually didn't think too much about it, he just thought about Tang Quan's proposed price of tens of millions before agreeing.

And Tang Quan didn't expect Kuang Ji to agree so readily, he was even ready to raise the price again.He has heard of You Yuan's craftsmanship, and he also understands the value of that piece of crystal. The price of tens of millions is just an offer, not the real value of crystal jewelry.He can buy it for tens of millions, and he also knows that he has taken advantage of it.

"Kuang Ji, thank you very much. With that crystal jewelry as the treasure of the store, the transformation is hopeful." Tang Quan was overjoyed and excited.

Kuang Ji took a sip of tea, said with a calm smile, "Brother Tang, don't be strangers. I wish you a prosperous business in the future." After speaking, he suddenly asked: "Brother Tang, have you decided which direction to transform? "

He didn't know anything about the antique business, so he asked this casually out of concern.

Naturally, Tang Quan would not hide it, and immediately explained to Kuang Ji: "Antique furniture is still the main business, and the other two are calligraphy, painting and jade." 90.00% of the antique stores have started to develop in the direction of grocery stores. This not only keeps the main business, but also opens up another source of income. I still have a little research on calligraphy, painting and jade, so I will focus on these two areas first. Test the waters for an interview."

After listening to Tang Quan's explanation, Kuang Ji suddenly thought of the words calligraphy, painting and jade, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Tang, are the calligraphy, painting and jade you mentioned are all antiques?"

Tang Quan laughed, "Antiques can be found anywhere. Antique calligraphy, painting and jade are more expensive than antique furniture. I don't have the financial resources! What's more, in our place, antique calligraphy, painting and jade are difficult to collect and sell. Almost all of them are They can only be sold at professional auctions. On this antique street, [-]% of the calligraphy, paintings and jades are modern things, and the prices are not too high, which is suitable for most people to buy and collect.”

Kuangji suddenly realized.To a certain extent, it is not because things are rare that they are expensive, but because of small profits but quick turnover.

After talking, the three of them chatted more enthusiastically.

"Brother Tang, you are already familiar with the channels for antique furniture, how did you solve the channels for calligraphy, painting and jade?" Kuang Ji asked this because he wanted to know where Tang Quan got the jade from. He is very demanding of jade now. of.

In the future, it is impossible to use spiritual sources for the engraving of seal talismans, and jade will be the material he will use the most in the future.The last time I walked around the county, I only found five pieces of suitable jade, which shows how rare suitable jade is.

Tang Quan replied: "Most calligraphy and paintings are calligraphy and paintings of modern celebrities. Some of them are collected by the people, and the other part has to visit those famous calligraphers and painters and buy them from them. As for jade wares, most of them are jade raw materials, which are processed by others. Come."

"Oh, jade raw material?" Kuang Ji's heart moved, and joy rose to his face instantly.

"That's right, jade is the same as jadeite, it is mined from rough stones, I don't need to buy finished jade, I can get a lot of jade directly by buying raw jade!" Kuangji thought to himself.

"Where does Brother Tang get his jade raw materials? I have a stone gambling shop in Haishang, and I also want to start a jade gambling business, but unfortunately there is no channel!" Kuang Ji asked.The amount of jade raw materials he wants to buy is huge, and he can only buy it in the name of Jade Treasure Pavilion in Shizhong, and no one will doubt it.

Tang Quan didn't know that Kuang Ji opened a stone gambling shop in Haishang. Hearing this, he couldn't help but look at Kuang Ji with admiration. He was shocked and at the same time determined to make friends.

Later, Tang Quan enthusiastically introduced the source of jade raw materials to Kuang Ji, and took him and Fu Yuqing into another room to show them the jade raw materials that had been prepared long ago.

Tang Quan is a shrewd businessman. When he decided to transform, he had already prepared for the future. The other room was already full of jade raw materials.

"Kuang Ji, take a look, this is the raw material of jade, also known as rough jade. If you are in the stone gambling business, you must know what rough stone is. Jade is mined from it." Tang Quan introduced.

In this room, raw jade stones were piled on the floor, and calligraphy and paintings were placed on the walls and shelves, which showed that Tang Quan had already prepared for the transformation.

When Kuang Ji entered the room, he began to scan the rough jade stones on the ground with his spiritual sense. He really felt the spiritual energy fluctuations from a few rough stones, but it was a little thinner, which was different from what he expected.

Gambling on stones is the same as betting on jade, the key lies in the word "gambling".However, emerald and jade are different.Good-quality jadeite can be sold for sky-high prices, while poor-quality jadeite is worthless.As for jade, poor quality jade can be sold at a good price as long as the craftsmanship is good.

When Kuang Ji sighed that good jade is hard to find, Tang Quan suddenly said: "Kuang Ji, brother, I am grateful to you for giving up that crystal jewelry, and there is nothing to repay. As long as you look at the calligraphy, painting and raw jade in it I'll give it to you for free."

Tang Quan is also sincerely grateful.The first is because of the crystal jewelry, and the second is because of wanting to befriend Kuang Ji.

Kuang Ji was not short of money, so naturally he would not accept Tang Quan's gift for no reason, and he also looked down on the things in it, so he said with a smile: "Brother Tang, I am not interested in calligraphy and painting, as for jade, I am If you want to find sources for the stone gambling shop, you have too few here, so you can't give them all to me!" Kuang Ji joked.

Tang Quan persuaded again: "The quality of the raw jade materials here is not very good, so it's okay to give them all to you, but I'm afraid it will ruin your stone gambling business! Haha... As for calligraphy and painting, If you're not interested, you can give it to your elders as a gift!" Tang Quan glanced at Fu Yuqing and motioned to Kuang Ji.

Kuang Ji understood, and his heart skipped a beat.

"That's right, Yan Qiongling's gift has been selected, but Fu Hanqing's gift has not been selected yet. He is a high-ranking official, so he cannot give gifts that are too expensive, but some inexpensive celebrity calligraphy and paintings can be given!" Kuang Ji Thank you Tang Quan for your reminder.

"Brother Tang, what you said, I really want to buy a celebrity calligraphy and painting. I'm going to visit Yuqing's parents in a few days, and sending calligraphy and painting is also a good choice."

"Haha, then you can choose whatever you like, and I'll give you whichever pair you like!" Tang Quan said happily.

However, how could Kuang Ji take advantage of him, not to mention that it was a gift for his future father-in-law. If Fu Hanqing knew that the calligraphy and paintings were given to him by someone else, and he gave it to himself, Fu Hanqing would definitely have a grudge against Kuang Ji in his heart. .

In the end, Kuang Ji chose a pair of calligraphy and painting, and the money was still paid to Tang Quan.
