Antique jewelry store.
After returning from Jinsheng Auction House, Wang Xiao couldn't help complaining: "Dad, why did you buy this Longwei Inkstone?
Even if it belonged to the Qing royal family, it would only cost a few hundred thousand.
It is difficult to make money with 1.12 million, not to mention the occupied funds.
If we can’t sell it in a year or two, we’ll be at a huge loss.”
Wang Fugui was obviously very happy. He glanced at his son cheerfully and asked, "So how much do you think we should sell this Longwei inkstone for so that we don't lose money?"
"At least 1.5 million. It's impossible to make a profit without 2 million."
"What if I said it was worth 5 million?"
"Five million? How could that be? Except for the Shenlongwei inkstone of Emperor Li Houzhu, no other inkstone is worth that much."
Wang Fugui smiled faintly: "Touch the lower left side of this inkstone."
"The lower left side?" Wang Xiao was stunned at first, then put his finger there.
Huh?
Ten minutes later.
Listening to Wang Fugui's explanation of the origin of Kangxi's posthumous title, Wang Xiao stammered, "So, this is really the imperial inkstone of Emperor Kangxi?"
The next moment.
"Dad, we're rich, really rich.
The Shenlongwei inkstone of Emperor Li Houzhu is worth tens of millions. Although the imperial inkstone of Emperor Kangxi is not as famous as Li Houzhu's, it is no problem to sell it for 8 million.
Eight times the profit!"
Wang Fugui: "Do you think my money is worth it now?"
"It's worth it, so worth it! Dad, you are this: yyds.jpg!"
However, Wang Fugui sighed: "It's a pity, although we made money, Fu Song also made a lot of money!"
Wang Xiao was also stunned.
That’s right, I made 7 million.
But this Longwei inkstone was sold by my father to Fu Song and then bought back from Fu Song.
Sold for 220,000 and bought back for 1.12 million, the other party made a full profit of 900,000.
Even after deducting the auction house's commission and taxes, it is still more than 800,000.
"No!" Wang Fugui suddenly slammed the table, "We finally managed to cripple Yupanzhai.
As a result, in a blink of an eye, he made nearly 3 million, almost half of my level.
We have to tone him down, otherwise if something unexpected happens, it will be hard to deal with.”
Wang Xiao asked, "What are you going to do?"
Wang Fugui looked at his son with a serious expression: "From now on, we will take turns to pick up passengers at the intersection for half a day...
Also, when soliciting customers, he carried a red flag with a message on it..."
After hearing what his father said, Wang Xiao's face turned pale: "Dad, let's not do it. It's so embarrassing!"
"What do you mean by 'don't want'? I'm telling you, if you're not ruthless, you can't stand firm. If you want to be ruthless to others, you must first be ruthless to yourself."
"this……"
"Are you going or not? If not, I'll pass the antique jewelry store on to your sister."
"Go, can't I go?"
Of course, although he proposed to take turns with his son, Wang Fugui decided to take the first shift himself because he was worried about his son's thick skin.
Wang Xiao will guard the store first.
Although he was sitting in the store, he felt extremely nervous.
This feeling of uneasiness became even more intense when I saw my father being looked down upon at the intersection.
Because it's his turn in the afternoon.
Just as he was at a loss, a voice suddenly said, "Boss, boss?"
"Ah? Hello!" Wang Xiao was stunned and asked subconsciously, "What do you want to buy?"
The person who spoke was a young man, Jin Xiaobei.
Because Wang Xiao had never been to Shangri-La, the two did not know each other.
Jin Xiaobei smiled and said, "I don't buy things, I sell things."
"Selling things? What?"
"An inkstone!" Jin Xiaobei put a wooden box on the counter and said, "Boss, please take a look and give me an estimate of its price."
Wang Xiao opened it with doubt, and the next moment, his eyes widened instantly: "How is this possible?"
Because the inkstone in front of him was exactly the same as the dragon-tail inkstone used by Emperor Kangxi that Wang Fugui photographed.
Did I see it wrong?
He quickly picked up a magnifying glass to observe, but found that both the texture and the patina looked like they were photocopied.
Finally, Wang Xiao found the words "Emperor Hetian Hongyun Wenwu Ruizhe Gongjian Kuanyu Xiaojing Chengxinzhonghe Gongde Dachengren" at the lower left.
He looked up, not knowing what to do, when he heard Jin Xiaobei say, "Boss, how is it?"
Taking a deep breath, Wang Xiao tried his best to calm himself down: "Little brother, do you know the origin of this Dragon Tail Inkstone?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't asked this question, but as soon as he did, Jin Xiaobei couldn't help but sigh, "This is Emperor Kangxi's imperial inkstone."
"Ah? This..." Wang Xiao didn't expect Jin Xiaobei to say that, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Jin Xiaobei explained: "To be honest, my ancestors were eunuchs who served Emperor Yongzheng.
When Emperor Yongzheng passed away, because the cause of death was somewhat suspicious, he was afraid of being implicated, so he left the capital at night and found a place to live in hiding until his death.
In order to make a living, our ancestors took a lot of gold, silver and jewelry when they left the capital, including this Longwei inkstone.
According to our ancestors, this Longwei inkstone was the favorite of Emperor Kangxi, and he could not do without it when reviewing official documents every day.
Before his death, Emperor Kangxi passed it to Emperor Yongzheng, hoping that he could use the ink ground from this inkstone to benefit the people of the world, just like he did.
Emperor Yongzheng was deeply moved, and to commemorate this event, he summoned the best craftsmen to inscribe on the left side of the inkstone: "The Emperor of Hetian, Hongyun, Wenwu, Ruizhe, Gongjian, Kuanyu, Xiaojing, Chengxin, Zhonghe, Gongde, Dachengren, and Benevolent."
"What?" Wang Xiao was shocked. "The posthumous title of Emperor Kangxi was carved by Emperor Yongzheng?"
