As soon as he entered the house, Jia Dongsheng was stunned by the room full of furniture.
From official hat chairs, armchairs, round chairs, cross-legged chairs, to two-person benches, stools, cross-legged stools, and stools, this type of seating.
There are also other types of desks, such as long tables, multi-table tables, desks, and flat-top tables.
Bookcases, cabinets, top box cabinets, top vertical cabinets, bright grid cabinets, bookcases for storing various items.
In addition, there are screens, antique cabinets, dressing tables, etc., which can be said to be dazzling and overwhelming.
Jia Dongsheng is not some ignorant idiot, but an expert in antique appraisal who has studied with an old Chinese doctor for ten years.
At first glance, all the furniture in the house are large-doored items. They are all old furniture. Once you buy them, after a few decades, you can't buy any one of them without tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. And these are the worst ones.
A slightly better Ming and Qing furniture would cost at least one million, and it would cost tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions!
"hiss......"
Looking at the furniture in the house, Jia Dongsheng wanted to buy them all, but that would be too ostentatious.
But if you don’t buy it, it’s hard to guarantee that the things here will not be destroyed in the storm in a few years!
After all, after a few years, these things will be labeled as rotten and need to be burned and destroyed.
"Well, since we can't buy them all, let's just keep an eye on them. If someone wants to destroy these things, don't blame them for poaching from the credit store and taking them all away."
But even so, this time Jia Dongsheng was going to pick out some good furniture and buy them first, to avoid them being destroyed in case he didn't have time to save them.
"Brother Dong, you can take a look around and see which piece of furniture you like."
Wei Hong rubbed his hands and said with some trepidation.
These pieces of furniture are not cheap. If Jia Dongsheng can buy a few pieces, his salary this month will definitely be a considerable sum.
"Okay, I'll pick some out. If I like anything, I'll buy it."
As he spoke, Jia Dongsheng started looking around the house. Unexpectedly, the credit store had already sorted the furniture into categories. The furniture on the east side was all huanghuali (rosewood), while the furniture on the west side was red sandalwood. Apart from that, there were no ironwood, mahogany, or wenge. They should be placed in other rooms.
Jia Dongsheng didn't care. The most expensive woods in later generations were huanghuali and red sandalwood. As long as he could make more of these two kinds of furniture, he could sell them for hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars.
“This Luohan bed.”
"This official hat chair."
"This should be a throne, I don't know if it belongs to the prince or the emperor, I want it too."
"And this folding screen. I never thought that Bada Shanren's paintings could be made into a folding screen. This is a bit extravagant, right? I want this too."
"And this desk, they actually used such a large piece of small-leaf red sandalwood to make a table. What a waste, such a waste."
"Hey, this is actually a children's Trojan horse? Who is such a spendthrift that he would use small-leaf red sandalwood to make a children's Trojan horse?"
Jia Dongsheng selected one item after another until he saw a wooden horse made of small-leaf red sandalwood. He widened his eyes and cursed the prodigal son.
There is no way, what is a children's Trojan horse?
It's just a toy for children to ride on, but it's made of red sandalwood. How wasteful is that?
You know, even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, small-leaf red sandalwood was rare.
Jia Dongsheng quickly looked at the rosewood horse and studied it carefully. He couldn't help but gasp!
"This is a wooden horse from the Ming Dynasty. Who in the Ming Dynasty was so generous as to dare to use the small leaf to make a wooden horse? Could it be that person?"
Jia Dongsheng had some guesses in his mind, but he felt that he must have guessed right. If it wasn't the carpenter emperor Zhu Youjian, who else could be so wasteful as to make a wooden horse out of red sandalwood?
"I didn't expect that I would get a toy made by the Carpenter Emperor himself. Well, a small goal in the future would definitely not be expensive."
After all, it was made by the emperor himself. If it was sold too cheaply as a toy for the prince, it would be unworthy of the carpenter's labor.
"I want this Trojan horse too."
After saying this to Wei Hong, Jia Dongsheng continued to choose, until he saw a set of sofas and he couldn't move anymore.
This should be a nine-piece sofa set from the Qing Dynasty, consisting of two long chairs, two armchairs, four small tea tables and one coffee table.
This set of nine sofas is made entirely of huanghuali wood. Even an ordinary person could hardly afford it. It is probably only people like Li Hongzhang and Zeng Guofan who could afford it.
"This sofa set will definitely look great in the living room!"
Jia Dongsheng laughed, then gestured to Wei Hong to take down the sofa set.
And what about Wei Hong?
He was so happy that he was about to burst into laughter. In such a short period of time, Jia Dongsheng had already picked up more than a dozen pieces of furniture. Judging from Jia Dongsheng's excited look, he had not finished selecting yet. If he had, he would have picked at least thirty pieces!
Wei Hong has already started calculating in his mind how much commission he can get.
Afterwards, Jia Dongsheng spent another half an hour selecting, and picked out about fifty pieces in total. He took down all the furniture in the room that was in good condition and had not been damaged.
The rest are some furniture that have been damaged, repaired, or spliced together, and are not made of whole pieces of material. The wood of such furniture is valuable, but the craftsmanship is not, and it is not worth it for Jia Dongsheng to take them away in a high-profile manner.
"Wei Hong, I bought so much furniture, how do I transport it?"
After buying the furniture, Jia Dongsheng was a little dumbfounded. With so much furniture, how could he move it back? This was a problem!
"Brother Dong, we have cars and workers at our credit store. We can deliver it to wherever you want."
Needless to say, the credit store has a door-to-door delivery service, and Jia Dongsheng gave a thumbs up to this service.
However, it was impossible for Jia Dongsheng to send all the furniture to the Siheyuan. It had to be sent to two places, one to the Siheyuan, and the other, of course, to the house left to him by the old Chinese doctor.
After all, since we can't use the space of the homestay, we can only go through a little trouble. Fortunately, for so many Ming and Qing furniture, Jia Dongsheng thinks it is worth the trouble.
"Well, since you can deliver the goods, please help me deliver it."
Then, Jia Dongsheng calculated the accounts while Wei Hong was very excited and happy, but still had to suppress his excitement.
After paying the money, Wei Hong found a large truck belonging to a credit store, added two workers, and started loading the truck.
While loading the truck, Jia Dongsheng asked Wei Hong, "By the way, Wei Hong, besides Ming and Qing furniture, does our Credit Store also have antiques?"
"Yes, Dong brother, are you interested?"
Hearing this, Wei Hong widened his eyes again and looked at Jia Dongsheng excitedly.
