Chapter 274: Shopping spree
"We are just supporting roles. You are the one with real skills."
Qiu Jibin waved his hand and looked at Yang Haoming again: "This thing is so real, why didn't you pick it out last time you came? If you buy it, we can make a lot of money."
"Fuck, can you blame me for this?"
"Old Pu is notoriously cunning. I looked at all the antiques on the wall one by one, and my eyes were dazzled."
"If I come across this thing, even if my guess is 70% true, I wouldn't dare to do it."
Yang Haoming complained.
The antique business is a very complicated one.
Yang Haoming knew that the real and fake Pu Nongdong were mixed together and he felt a little uneasy before he even made his choice.
The most important thing is that Yang Haoming has little money.
It was a huge loss, even if he and Qiu Jibin shared it equally, it was enough to make him confused for a while.
Without money, one will be weak in courage.
Even when he came across something that he could determine was 70% good, he still didn't dare to buy it.
Unlike Chen Jianye, he has enough vision and knowledge, and he has money and a steady stream of income, so he can afford the losses.
If it was just shortsightedness, Chen Jianye would just regard it as paying tuition fees and it didn't matter.
If someone else was setting a trap for him, then Chen Jianye would have to turn into a thief and do a business with no capital investment.
He has a very good attitude and is not afraid at all.
Completely different from Yang Haoming.
Even if two people have the same vision and knowledge, the results will be completely different.
Not to mention that Yang Haoming's vision and knowledge are far inferior to Chen Jianye.
"It's true that Haoming can't be blamed. He deals in antiques for the sake of safety. Although he often misses out on big-ticket items, he won't lose too much."
Chen Jianye helped out.
"Look, Jianye still understands me."
Yang Haoming quickly agreed.
"Haha, I just said that. I'll take half of the profits and losses. How can I blame you?"
"Let's just keep doing what we are doing now, and make a little money of ten or twenty dollars a month, and we'll be happy."
Qiu Jibin changed his words.
Chen Jianye was slightly surprised.
He really didn't expect that Yang Haoming and Qiu Jibin could earn more than ten or twenty yuan a month as a partner.
For Chen Jianye, this money is just a drop in the bucket.
But for an ordinary family, an extra ten or twenty dollars a month is definitely a very important income.
It's not something that can be earned easily.
Even if Yang Haoming makes money by dealing in antiques, it is not easy to earn a few dozen dollars a month.
At least make sure to receive two small items a month and trade them out smoothly.
Thinking about it this way, Yang Haoming does have his own unique qualities.
"We are not like Jianye, we have stable jobs. If we lose money, at most we will get scolded by our wives when we get home."
"As long as I don't lose money, that's fine."
Yang Haoming said carelessly.
After chatting for a while, they went back home.
Chen Jianye returned home and entered the house.
"came back?"
Ran Qiuye stepped forward and smelled the scent on Chen Jianye's body, and only felt relieved after confirming that there was no vixen.
"What are you doing?"
Chen Jianye was puzzled.
"Just smell it, isn't it?"
Ran Qiuye pouted.
"Are you worried that I'll go find the half-open door?"
Chen Jianye thought for a moment and said with a smile.
"When a few men get together and get things done, nothing good will happen."
Ran Qiuye said vigilantly.
"What are you talking about? Jibin, Haoming and I were indeed out doing some serious business."
Chen Jianye explained with a smile.
Ran Qiuye prepared the foot-washing water and served Chen Jianye.
After washing up, Chen Jianye picked up Ran Qiuye and returned to bed.
The two had an intimate exchange.
For the next few days, Chen Jianye went out after dinner and followed Yang Haoming and Qiu Jibin to the residences of various old people.
There are many of them in Beijing.
The vast majority of people have been brought up in a pampered environment and are unwilling to participate in labor.
I feel that labor is a loss of face.
Even if you don't work, you still have to eat.
Just move out the things in your house.
Anyway, the items left by their ancestors are enough for them to live on.
Therefore, many old people and young people in the early days made a living by reselling their family belongings.
Later, they had fewer and fewer items on hand, and they learned to be smarter.
Most people are like Pu Nongdong, selling genuine products mixed with fake ones.
The profit from selling a fake product is high, enough for them to live comfortably for two months.
This may not be a big deal in the short term, but over time, everyone in the industry will know that these people are deliberately cheating others.
So their business is not very good.
The old man and Chen Jianye, who was eager to hone his skills and purchase antiques, were a perfect match.
Yang Haoming took Chen Jianye to the home of the old man and was warmly welcomed.
But soon, this group of old people and young people found something wrong.
The antiques that Chen Jianye bought with money were all fucking genuine.
There weren't many genuine goods in the old man's house, so they couldn't afford Chen Jianye's extortion.
Soon, Chen Jianye's story spread among the circles of the old and the young.
It is said that Chen Jianye learned from a certain antique master, and this time he came out to hone his skills and purchase antiques by targeting the old people.
squeak!
The sound of bicycle brakes was heard.
Yang Haoming parked his car in front of a large compound.
"Jianye, the people inside are called Fujiawan, they are descendants of the Fucha clan, and his father was also a prince in his early years."
"This guy is very cunning, you can do it yourself."
Yang Haoming reminded again before entering the door.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Chen Jianye nodded slightly.
Yang Haoming didn't say anything else.
During this half month, he took Chen Jianye to visit the houses of more than ten old people and young people in the city.
Basically every time Chen Jianye would pick out one or two items, and then make the seller beat his chest and stamp his feet.
It can be said that whenever Chen Jianye makes a move, it will definitely be a masterpiece.
It’s not that there are no sellers who want to stop trading like Punongdong did.
But there are rules to follow, and Chen Jianye has someone behind him, so no matter how reluctant these sellers are, they have to sell according to the initial offer.
In the past ten days or so, Chen Jianye has been making a fortune.
The cheapest antique costs fifty or sixty yuan, while the most expensive one costs one hundred and fifty yuan.
As long as Chen Jianye determined it to be true, he would take it down without saying anything.
Expensive reason.
For example, the enameled porcelain vase he had bought before, whose full name is the Yellow Ground Foreign Colored Eight Immortals Double Dragon Ear Vase, is an authentic royal item.
It may be that the seller's ancestors had made some contributions, and the emperor was so happy that he rewarded him directly.
It was passed down and ended up in the hands of the seller.
The seller was also very straightforward. Having heard of Chen Jianye's reputation, he did not show Chen Jianye those miscellaneous things.
He directly took out the enamel porcelain that had been kept in the bottom of the box and offered a price of 150 yuan.
The seller's original words were something like, if you have the ability, take it, if you don't, take it back.
Chen Jianye was also very straightforward.
After checking the enameled porcelain and confirming it was authentic, he paid 150 RMB on the spot.
To him, a few hundred dollars nowadays is nothing.
If he buys this thing now, he can sell it as a family heirloom at an auction decades later for more than 50 million yuan.
The appreciation rate is nearly 300,000 times, just do it.
As for those antiques purchased for fifty or sixty yuan, the situation was the same as that of Pu Nongdong.
The real and fake products were mixed together and let Chen Jianye choose.
Naturally, Chen Jianye got the advantage.
