As he heard in Dongshi Village, the father of the Manchu descendant passed away, and he immediately planned to sell the furniture and integrate into a new life.
According to prices in the 80s, a new set of rosewood furniture would cost close to 300 yuan.
As the saying goes, rare things are valuable. Rosewood is not only a precious wood, but also a status symbol. Only wealthy businessmen will use rosewood to build furniture.
But in the antique market, rosewood furniture from the Qianlong period is the most valuable.
In a previous life, the National Museum purchased a five-piece set of rosewood furniture from the Qianlong period from a private individual, costing more than [-] yuan.
He calculated it in his mind and said to Fang Dahai: "Brother Fang, you can rest assured that this is absolutely genuine."
Fang Dahai couldn't put it down for the rosewood tables and chairs. He stood up and said with a smile: "Of course I believe in Brother Lin's vision. Brother Lin, just make a price. As long as it's suitable, I will take over."
Lin Ran stood up and walked around the rosewood furniture.
He also sat down and gently clicked the tabletop. It made a muffled sound. It was a solid wood tabletop.
He smiled and said: "Brother Fang, to tell you the truth, the market price of this set of furniture is 800 yuan. If you meet collectors, it can even be sold for a thousand yuan."
Lin Ran directly told Fang Dahai the price, which surprised him deeply.
"Brother Lin, I don't understand what you mean?" This is the first time Fang Dahai has met such a customer.
Knowing how much it can ultimately sell for means that the seller can maximize profits.
Just why did Brother Lin tell himself this?
"Brother Fang, I sold it to you for 400 yuan, what do you think?" Lin Ran said.
This can ensure that Fang Dahai has a profit margin of at least 400 yuan. His valuation has been approved by time. As long as Fang Dahai insists on this price, he will definitely be able to sell it.
Fang Dahai was moved for a moment.
When he usually does business with other people, he always tries to keep prices as low as possible.
Only by letting the other party underestimate the value of what is being sold can he earn more profits.
Lin Ran was different from everyone else. He knew the true value of the items and was willing to take the initiative to give them a profit.
What kind of friendship and pattern is this?
Fang Dahai held Lin Ran's hand excitedly: "Brother Lin, how about I give you five hundred?"
"No, I said four hundred, four hundred." Lin Ran refused Fang Dahai's request for more money.
After all, Fang Dahai opened a store and found customers, plus the payback period, which were also potential costs.
In fact, it wasn't that Lin Ran looked down upon 100 yuan.
Although he is now the boss and once earned 15 in commissions, he has positioned himself very accurately.
It's not that he has high ambitions and low power, and he doesn't look down on 100 yuan.
Instead, he hopes to establish a trusting relationship with Fang Dahai through profit sharing.
In the future, some ordinary collections can be sold through Fang Dahai's line, allowing him to make money and open up more channels to facilitate future sales.
This is a win-win business!
What's more, Fang Dahai didn't help him much in the early days. He has to accept this favor!
Without any hesitation, Fang Dahai took out a handful of money from the drawer and handed it to Lin Ran.
Lin Ran didn't even count, so he gave up and put it in his backpack.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. From the initial intrigue, they have now become mutually trusting business partners.
After making 400 yuan in one day, Lin Ran felt the joy of making money again.
He was riding a tricycle to go home and happened to pass by Liulichang.
The last time I came to Liulifang to deliver invitations, I hadn’t gone in for a walk yet.
Now that he's famous, it's not easy to pick up the slack, but it's still possible to go shopping.
As long as he keeps a low profile, he may not be recognized.
This is not the Internet era, and not many people have seen his photos and person.
After wandering around Liulichang for a while, he found that it was pretty much what he thought. The people setting up the stalls were all communicating with customers, and most of the customers were just here to pick up missing items, and no one was interested in other customers.
Liulichang still has far more imitations than genuine products. I visited several stalls, but nothing caught my eye.
Unlike other stall owners who were good at soliciting customers, Lin Ran saw a man wearing a Chinese tunic suit and a sinister look squatting on the ground at the far back of Liulichang.
There was a sack spread out in front of him, and some cultural relics were placed on the ground.
It looks ordinary, but he only sells three items.
Looking at the three items, Lin Ran felt a little familiar.
Moreover, the first time he saw the man, he thought of Huang Hao.
This man has the same temperament as Huang Hao, the temperament of someone who often deals with tomb soil.
Lin Ran walked to the stall, and the man looked alert.
"Little brother, this is not a toy, you can't afford it." He said unhappily.
Looking at the boy in front of him, he should be less than 20 years old, and he doesn't look like a kid from a rich family.
The things in his stall were all taken from tombs at a great price, so he wanted to drive away the little devil in front of him.
But Lin Ran went and squatted down and looked at the three cultural relics carefully.
Suddenly surprised.
This is clearly the big tripod of Xi Cun, with its gold and copper ruler and life melon pot!
It is a cultural relic left behind in the West Village near the capital that has existed since the Eastern Zhou Dynasty!
The Zhou Dynasty established its capital in Luoyang, Henan, and his close followers served as city lords in the capital, and were buried here after their deaths.
According to the records in "An Examination of the Ancient Tombs of the Capital City", the capital city was called Ji during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which was the product of King Wu of the Zhou Dynasty conquering Zhou and destroying Shang.
"Historical Records·Le Ji": "King Wu defeated Yin and rebelled against Shang. Before he could get off the bus, he was granted the title of Queen of the Yellow Emperor in Ji."
The most important thing is that there are tombs of Xianchen officials of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in Ji.
The location is in Xicun, ten kilometers west of Beijing.
At that time, this place was considered an ominous place because every time there was a thunderstorm, there would be roaring sounds from the ground.
There is another strange phenomenon.
Villagers in West Village dig wells underground, often six or seven meters deep, and water will flow out.
But on the next day, the well water will disappear without a trace, and water will suddenly appear in some abandoned wells. Local people call it string wells.
The villagers thought this was an ominous phenomenon and took the opportunity to move away. Therefore, there were very few people in this village.
It wasn't until the 80s that people discovered the real reason.
A heavy rain suddenly came and lasted for three days and three nights.
A villager discovered that his farmland had collapsed and a huge pothole appeared inside.
At that time, everyone was called to watch, but they could not see anything from the bottom. They could only see the rainwater flowing into the cave and disappearing without a trace.
A few bold villagers entered the cave with torches in hand to find out what was going on. As a result, there were copper bells placed in the cave.
Only then did they understand why there was a roaring sound underground when there was lightning and thunder.
It is precisely because these copper bells were vibrated that they made a sound.
This is the tomb of the Xianchen of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Due to the existence of the underground tomb, their village dug a well and could not store water.
After reporting this information, the archaeological team came here to investigate and discovered two tombs.
During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Ji was the largest geomantic treasure land outside Luoyang. The emperor of Zhou was buried in Luoyang, and other virtuous officials could only build tombs in Ji.
However, Lin Ran did not feel excited, but endless anger arose in his heart!
