Ten items, nine fake and one real, the price is one-third of the real market price.
This seems to be very promising. If you buy the real thing, you can earn twice as much money. It is absolutely a windfall, so it can attract many people.
However, after careful calculation, the probability of one in ten is actually very low, and many antiques have a deceptive appearance, deliberately making the real look like a fake, so the probability of choosing is not as high as one in ten.
As long as the antique shop does a good job of confidentiality, it is basically a steady profit.
For example, Zhao Xiaobao and Lin Hao are very knowledgeable, but they picked a total of seventeen or eighteen items, but only four or five of them are real. Calculating the price, they bought an item with a market price of about three million for nearly four million and directly made a profit of about one million.
However, there are not many people who spend a lot of money to buy antiques, so it is more difficult to do business.
Therefore, antique shops sometimes don't open for three years, but when they open, they eat for three years.
But Sue
The items selected, Manager Liu just glanced at them casually, and the whole person was not good. He stared at Sue.
He took a look and wondered if this young man was a hidden Master Appraiser?
"Manager Liu, can you help us calculate the price in person?"
Lin Hao said, this shop is a good business for antique shops, but it is rare to have such a big business, so the staff are trembling and their hands are shaking when calculating the accounts. It is better for Manager Liu to do it.
"Okay, no problem."
Manager Liu nodded. In fact, he didn't need Lin Hao to say it. He had planned to calculate the price and collect the money himself, but he didn't know why he was confused for a while.
He first calculated the total price for Zhao Xiaobao and Lin Hao and received the remittance from them. He calculated it again and found that he did earn a total of about one million.
However, Sue
When choosing the price of the items, he calculated it over and over again, and his face became more and more ugly.
It's just that, for the reputation of the shop, Sue
After the remittance, he packed all the items and handed them to Sue.
"You bought them all.
Why don't you announce the authenticity? "Xiao Rui asked curiously.
"Little Rui, the rule of this shop is not to announce the authenticity." Lin Hao laughed. In the antique industry.
Some appraisers didn't want to give a definite answer. They would be more subtle about whether it was real or not. Antique stores were even less likely to say that they were selling fake goods, even though the rule was that nine out of ten were fake and one was real.
Whether it was real or fake, even if it was sold.
I won't announce it either.
"Then how do you determine who wins and who loses?" Xiao Rui asked.
"This …" Only then did Lin Hao and Zhao Xiaobao realize the problem. Zhao Xiaobao suddenly tiptoed to look ahead, then trotted over and said in surprise, "Hello, Mr. Song."
"Hello, Xiao Bao."
A white-haired old man who was inspecting the antiques raised his head and smiled when he saw Xiaobao.
"Old Mister Song, we've just picked a lot of items from the nine fake and one real shelf. Can you take a look at them?
Can you appraise it for us? "Xiaobao asked politely.
"I was wondering why the nine fake and one real shelf seemed to be empty. It turned out to be picked by you. Take me to have a look. I heard that there are several new treasures that are very valuable."
Old Mister Song said, he actually didn't come here to buy things, he just came here to have a look. If he really wanted to buy, the nine fake and one real shelf would not be opened for him and he would be blacklisted. After all, he is an Appraiser Master.
Of course.
He and the owner of this shop are old friends and he won't do that.
Listening to Old Mister Song saying that the real products were all picked out, Lin Hao and Zhao Xiaobao were both happy and subconsciously felt that the real products were picked out by themselves.
The real items should have all been picked by him. This time, he had made a huge profit.
"Come here."
Zhao Xiaobao happily invited Old Mister Song over. Manager Liu didn't say anything about it. The rules of the shop are not to announce the authenticity, but they can't stop others from appraising.
"Is it okay to ask Old Mister Song to appraise it?" Zhao Xiaobao said to Lin Hao.
"Old Mister Song is highly respected.
Of course, no problem. "Lin Hao nodded.
"Hello, Old Mister Song." Sue suddenly called out and recognized this Old Mister Song.
Suddenly, he called out and recognized Old Mister Song. He was not someone else. He was Su Xianfeng, who had gone with Shen Hong.
He helped Sue to identify the Bamboo-Stone Painting and Ambergris.
He is one of the Appraisers of Myriad Treasures Auction House who has identified the Bamboo-Stone Painting and Ambergris.
"Hey, Mr. Su, Hello, long time no see." Old Mister Song smiled.
"Old Mister Song knows A??" Lin Hao was stunned. It is reasonable to say that Sue, who doesn't play antiques.
He should have no intersection with Old Mister Song.
"Oh, Mr. Su picked up a big leak some time ago and spent 10,000 yuan to buy a set of Zheng Banqiao's Bamboo-Stone Painting worth more than two million yuan, which made me envious for a long time."
Old Mister Song said, making Lin Hao, Zhao Xiaobao, and Xiao Rui all gasp. 10,000 yuan to buy something worth more than two million yuan, isn't this too exaggerated?
"What the hell, A?
Have you picked up such a big leak? "Lin Hao was shocked.
"It turns out that buying antiques is so profitable."
Xiao Rui's view on antiques suddenly took a 180-degree turn. Although he is not very interested in antiques, he is very interested in money.
Liu Yan and Zhao Xiaobao also couldn't help but look at Sue.
One glance.
"Old Mister Song, help me look at these treasures first."
Zhao Xiaobao changed the topic and put several items in front of Old Mister Song, including bronze tripod, copper coins, jade carvings …
"Well, I'm in a good mood today, I'll give you a free look."
After Old Mister Song said, he took out a magnifying glass and other tools and began to look at them, and then evaluated them one by one. For the genuine goods, he was very straightforward and even estimated the price. For the fake goods, he was relatively euphemistic. The layman may not know that it is a fake after listening to it, but Lin Hao and Zhao Xiaobao, who are knowledgeable, certainly heard it clearly.
Finally, a rough estimate is that the total value of the items selected by Lin Hao is about 1.6 million yuan, and the total value of the items selected by Zhao Xiaobao is about 1.4 million yuan.
There is no doubt that Lin Hao won the gamble.
"Haha, you lost."
Lin Hao raised his eyebrows and exhaled. Although he had won 200,000 yuan in gambling, he still lost 200,000 yuan, but to win back Zhao Xiaobao, the loss of 200,000 yuan was worth it.
In his heart, he was secretly happy.
He recommended the green porcelain jar, which was a genuine item. The purchase price was one hundred thousand, and the market price was three hundred thousand.
If not for this porcelain jar, he would have lost for sure and would have to return it to Sue.
It was a big red envelope.
"Hey, you're lucky." Zhao Xiaobao looked depressed, but his gambling behavior was good, and he immediately transferred 200,000 to Lin Hao.
"Stop arguing." At this time, Old Mister Song shouted and began to identify Sue.
He was staring at a bronze mirror, carefully examining the items he had chosen, his eyes shining.
