Chapter 233
essel) was used to hold salt and seasonings. The role of this bronze bean was similar to the condiment dish that modern people use to dip dumplings in vinegar.What does it mean to pick up money with a...There's an old saying, "No matter where you go, what you buy is always more refined than what you sell." That's not entirely true. Those who come to see the goods, one by one, are all more refined.
Qin Xiping brought in two people, and called one over. These three were all wealthy antique dealers. They were named Wang Ruhui, Liu Yuanning, and a woman also surnamed Qin named Qin Juan.
All the people involved have worked together before. Otherwise, we wouldn't trust them enough to have them travel all the way to Yinchuan.
These antique dealers were seasoned professionals, and they didn't say anything about the buyer calling so many people to view their goods.
That day, everyone was present and took out a lot of things at once. The Ayutthaya Pagoda wasn't taken out; this item should be saved for last as the finale depending on the situation.
Wang Ruhai is over fifty years old and has a strong Shanxi accent.
He picked up the jade bear and glanced at it, smiling: “This is a good item. It goes well with my home courtyard. For now, I'll just keep this little thing.”
The two people nodded and said nothing.
Wang Ruhai clasped his fists and said thanks, then turned his eyes to the person beside him.
Here, he played a little trick with his head. The way he negotiated prices with Wang Ruhai was called "New Style Inside-Out Universe," or simply "Universe Sleeve."
At this time, the buyer adds two fingers. If they want to indicate that this is their highest bid, the buyer will deliberately cough.
If the seller accepts the price, they will happily extend their hand for a handshake.
On the contrary, if you think the price is too low, you'll shake your head.
Keeping your hands in your sleeves will prevent others from knowing the buying and selling prices.
The price is kept confidential, which will be helpful when reselling this item in the future. The Sky-Sealing Sleeve is also a cultural symbol of an old antique shop.
The new-style Dry Sky Sleeves are just a layer of skin, they lack the bargaining flavor of the old style.
It's a face-to-face transaction, and the price is negotiated over the phone.
The antique dealer Wang Ruhua valued the Xixia River grinding jade Yuxiong highly. He had a price of 10,000 in mind, so he typed a "1" on his phone and shook his head, meaning no way.
He crossed out one, wrote a two, but still shook his head.
Wang Ruhai gritted his teeth, bid three and then he turned over his phone, meaning the highest price.
He thought it was about time to leave, because their original price range was one to two. Now they had reached three, so he flipped his phone over again.
The two of them smiled at each other and shook hands.
Yu Xiong made his move just like that. At this time, if an outsider were to ask: "Wang Ruhai, how much money did you spend on this"
"Wang Ruhai would smile and say, 'I bought it for 80,000 yuan.'"

That middle-aged woman named Qin Juan had a big hand. He didn't look at the Jade Bear, but she took away the bronze seal and the empty-handed Mother Buddha. I haven't heard any news about that seal later on, but the gilt Empty-Handed Mother Buddha was auctioned off later. This woman made a dead profit.
Liu Yuanning took away the tortoiseshell buckle and a large pile of hat crown copper miscellaneous items. He would process and classify the miscellaneous items after returning, picking out the most expensive carriage parts, followed by clothing items, and finally daily necessities. I think that pile of miscellaneous items, just the clothing items alone could reach the price. We didn't pick beforehand because we are the manufacturer, he is a distributor, he came from far away, so it is important to let him make a profit.
These three people are also very crafty, they all know that they're hiding something big under their heads.
Knowing that he wanted a higher price, he knew first he had to train these fish's appetites so they would bite the hook with pleasure when the time came.
"Alright folks, it's getting late. Let's wrap things up and settle the bill."
You guys can go around and play tonight, the finale is until tomorrow.

Qin Juan stood up and smiled: "Give me some hints, Wang Baba, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't sleep well tonight."

"Yes, yes, Aunt Juan is right," Wang Ruhai said with a smile, rubbing his hands back and forth.
He turned his head and asked me, "Hey Yunfeng, what does that thing look like"in a cold sweat.After I came out, those things didn't come out temporarily.Seeing blood flowing from my arm, Hong Jie hurriedly asked me what was wrong and if it hurt."It must hurt... But I covered my...
