The Queen Mother Buddha?
Isn’t that Cixi?
The bracelet worn by Cixi can be considered a cultural relic!
Even if it is sold to a museum with a lower price, it is estimated that a lot of money can be made!
Qin Xuan was shocked when he heard the bracelet's voice.
He checked carefully yesterday and found that in this world, there is no such thing as antiques that are not allowed to be traded.
In other words, even if this bracelet was worn by Cixi and is a cultural relic, the owner can sell it normally.
Even if the official museum of Longguo wants to collect it, it still needs to pay the corresponding price to buy it back.
"Uncle, how much do you want to sell this bracelet for?" Qin Xuan asked tentatively.
"I don't know either. This is an heirloom in my family. If my wife hadn't been injured and had no medical expenses, I wouldn't have sold it!"
Shaking his head, the old man looked helpless.
He and his lover have been living independently. Although their life is poor, it is still comfortable.
As a result, yesterday his wife's legs suddenly went weak, she fell to the ground and broke her tailbone.
In order to raise money, he had no choice but to sell his ancestral bracelet.
After looking at the friendly-looking Qin Xuan and thinking about the old woman lying on the sick bed, the old man also stated a price in a tentative tone.
"How about you give me 20,000 yuan?"
Twenty thousand?
This bracelet is a cultural relic after all. Isn’t 20,000 a bit too cheap?
The old man saw Qin Xuan was stunned for a moment, and thought that his price was too high, so he quickly changed his words, "If you think it's too expensive, then 15,000, or 10,000 is fine!"
Qin Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Uncle, how can you sell things like this?"
"Can I ask you how much more money will it cost for Auntie to be hospitalized?"
"We still need about 50,000 dragon coins." The old man calculated.
"How about this, I'll give you 70,000 for this bracelet, and use the extra 20,000 to buy some nutritional supplements for Auntie."
Qin Xuan thought for a moment and quoted his price.
He didn't know how much the bracelet was worth, but it had cultural value after all.
Not to mention more, exceeding 70,000 should not be a problem.
"How many?"
"Seventy thousand?!"
When the old man heard this, his eyes widened almost as big as bells.
Seventy thousand dragon coins are enough to cover their family’s living expenses for five or six years!
"No, no, young man, you're giving too much!"
"I can't cheat you."
The old man shook his head frantically, and Qin Xuan was also very moved.
Nowadays, how many people have a problem with money?
Just because of this old man's character, I can't let him suffer any loss.
"Uncle, to tell you the truth, your bracelet is indeed an antique. Even if you sell it to a museum, it shouldn't be less than 70,000."
"But……"
The old man was also somewhat moved by what Qin Xuan said.
"Don't worry. Seventy thousand dollars, if you think it's a good deal, we'll make the deal. If you think you've lost money, you can find someone else to sell it yourself."
"The decision is yours."
Qin Xuan's tone was very firm, and the old man no longer refused when he saw this.
"Oh, all right!"
"You're a good man, young man."
"I will sell this bracelet to you."
"whispering sound!"
Just as the two were preparing to make a deal, a sneer came from the side.
The voice with disdain came from the jade stall owner who was selling jade.
"It's true that there are scammers every year, but this year there are especially many."
"You didn't think that by acting out this drama together, you could trick me into paying a high price for this bracelet, did you?"
"This is just a B-grade jade bracelet, dyed, it's garbage!"
"Return 70,000 Dragon Coins?"
"I think you two are crazy about money!"
The jade stall owner's barrage of criticism made Qin Xuan frown.
"Just because you are short-sighted and can't appreciate good things, do you think everyone else has no vision?"
"You're still setting up a stall like this?"
"Go home and rest as soon as possible!"
Not bothering to pay attention to the jade stall owner, Qin Xuan supported the old man and went to a nearby ATM to withdraw money.
But at this moment, a middle-aged man in elegant clothes blocked their way.
"Hey, young man, your bracelet looks great. How about it? Are you ready to buy it?"
When the stall owner heard this, he exhaled sharply, "Okay, another one."
"And you still say you're not a group here to deceive people?"
The middle-aged man also frowned and ignored the self-satisfied jade stall owner.
He just stood there quietly, waiting for Qin Xuan's reply.
Qin Xuan remained silent for a long time.
The middle-aged man saw Qin Xuan's alert face and suddenly reacted.
He quickly explained: "Oh, young man, don't misunderstand me, I am the boss of the Treasure Pavilion, my name is Chen Zhongping."
"We are going to hold an exhibition in our store soon, and we just happen to be short of an antique jade like this, so I wanted to ask about the price."
Chen Zhongping?
Treasure House?
The one in the center of Antique City?
Qin Xuan was stunned when he heard Chen Zhongping's self-introduction.
He had indeed seen this name on the Internet.
It is said that Chen Zhongping is the most reputable collector in the antique city.
The treasure house he opened is also the most reputable antique trading center in Jiangcheng.
Qin Xuan originally thought that after he found the bargains, he would sell all the items to the Treasure Pavilion. Unexpectedly, he would actually meet the boss behind the Treasure Pavilion.
"Uncle, what do you think?"
Qin Xuan thought about it and decided to give the choice to the old man in plain clothes.
After all, the two people have not yet successfully completed the transaction, and the ownership of the bracelet still belongs to the other party.
However, the old man in plain clothes was much more open-minded than him. He said directly that the item had already been sold to him, and whether to sell it or keep it was no longer his business.
"Okay, then Mr. Chen, take a look at the items and make an offer."
Moved, Qin Xuan stepped forward and handed the bracelet over directly.
Seeing this, Chen Zhongping smiled and shook his head.
"Oh, you see, I forgot."
Qin Xuan slapped his forehead slightly exaggeratedly, then smiled, put the bracelet on the table and slowly stepped back.
In the antique world, especially in the jade world, hand-to-hand contact is a big taboo.
Because everyone has different ideas, it is easy for accidents to happen when passing the product from hand to hand, causing it to break.
Since the other party claims to be the boss of the Treasure Pavilion, he must understand such a simple rule.
That's why Qin Xuan took this opportunity to conduct a simple test.
After all, the identity was just what the other party said, and he didn't know whether it was true or not.
"A green jadeite bracelet with rust, dating from the late Qing Dynasty."
“It is well preserved and in excellent condition. Yes, it is indeed a good collection.”
Chen Zhongping carefully picked up the bracelet from the table and looked at it carefully.
Both the techniques and analysis were very accurate, which made Qin Xuan gradually believe in the other party's identity.
"Young man, I want this bracelet. The specific price needs to be carefully appraised in the Treasure Pavilion, but no matter what, my price will definitely be slightly higher than the market price. What do you think?"
"Okay." Qin Xuan nodded.
Anyway, this bracelet was originally intended to be sold to the Treasure Pavilion.
Now that it was taken away personally by the owner of the Treasure Pavilion, he naturally had no objection.
After taking back the bracelet, Qin Xuan helped the old man and left with Chen Zhongping.
The jade stall owner still looked like he was watching a show.
It was not until more than ten minutes later, when he found that the "scammers" had not returned yet, that he suddenly realized something.
After entrusting the stall to a friend, the jade stall owner ran all the way to the center of the antique city.
