Start with an antique shop and become rich overnight

Chapter 23 Receive the Dragonfly Hairpin
Got it.

The other party had known about this shop for a long time, but found it after seeing the collections on display in the museum.

This person is indeed not an ordinary person, he is similar to a time and space administrator.

The most crucial point is that he cannot restrict the shop. For example, customers from Da Qi cannot enter her shop without her consent.

This way Shen You felt relieved.

"So, you were also looking for the kid from Da Qi that day?" Shen You pondered.

"I'm looking for him?" Wen Zhi smiled lazily, "It's his wish that he prayed to me. Depending on my mood, I sometimes make deals with people and leave a useful person there."

Unexpectedly, someone entered her shop first that day.

Are they trying to steal the business? Shen You thought as she walked back with a box of lemon chicken feet in her hand.

"Come on, you buy me something to eat and I'll give you a ride."

Shen You looked at him with an indescribable look in her eyes, "You said that as if you wanted to take my life."

She didn't refuse, nor did she let down her guard. The two of them walked in silence and parted in front of the store.

Looking at the figure turning away, Shen You quickly entered the password to open the door, and then closed the bolt lock inside the door.

She had someone install this specially. Once it is locked inside, no one from outside can open it.

Shen You first checked the surveillance and her own things. She left the lights in the living room on tonight.

I stayed up until about four in the morning. It was the first time I experienced being followed by someone with a knife, so I couldn't sleep because of the lingering fear.

The next morning at around ten o'clock, I was woken up by the noise outside again.

The community arranged people to come and repair the street lights and set up surveillance.

The surveillance in this alley has never been good before, it's just there in its original state.

After what happened last night, the police wanted to check the surveillance footage, but found nothing. This led to the current scene.

The neighbors gathered around and talked about what happened yesterday. Boss Huo came over specially to express his condolences to Shen You.

"Fortunately nothing happened. Did you miss anything?"

Shen You made a pot of tea and poured it for him, "Not less."

"That's good." Boss Huo was about to continue speaking when his eyes caught sight of the teapot that Shen You had casually placed beside him.

This. This. Sweet white glaze!
Is Mr. Shen serious? Using sweet white glaze to make tea?

"You're in this pot..." Boss Huo's eyes widened.

The teapot in his garden is a unique piece made in the famous porcelain capital. It was bought at a friendly price of 88,000 yuan, and most guests are reluctant to use it.

Boss Shen's pot looks better than his.

"It's made using the traditional firing method and was given to me by a friend." Shen You said calmly.

This teapot was newly fired in the Da Qi official kiln. The technique was fine, but its condition did not look like an antique, so she took it out and used it.

Boss Huo looked at the teapot with envy.

You have to know that good porcelain, even those fired in modern times, are more expensive than gold. It is not certain that a single furnace will produce a treasure; a single mistake will ruin it all.

Whether you can get a good product depends on luck, not the buyer.

"If your friend wants a pot of this quality next time, let me know and I'll take it."

Shen You made a gesture that it was okay.

After Boss Huo left, Shen You started looking for merchants to stock up, as the demand for purified water this time was not small.

The customer paid five hundred taels of gold, and she couldn't just deal with it casually.

The specification of a bottle is one hundred tablets. The two boxes I bought last time were already a lot for ordinary people.

So this time she was not looking for a merchant, but a local manufacturer, and there happened to be one in the industrial park.

It’s not the big brand I bought last time, but it’s also a qualified and compliant factory.

Shen You first called the other party and added him on WeChat to discuss inventory and time.

The reason used is still classic: I have a friend who wants to set up an outdoor camping club.

"We have the quantity you want now, but if you want a lower price, you have to get more." The person on the other end sounded very happy.

Yes, the economic benefits are bad these days and business is difficult.

There are too many goods in the warehouse, but the sales are not good, and the money tree at the door is about to collapse. Suddenly, a big order comes, and I will fight for it no matter what.

"The shelf life of this water purification tablet is two years. It's worthwhile to take more. Outdoor activities can sometimes last for ten days or half a month, so the tablets will be used up quickly."

Shen You pretended to consider it, and after more than ten seconds, she replied, "Okay, as you said, 2000 boxes."

She originally wanted to buy more, so she negotiated the price for so long and let the other party propose it first, so that there would be a discount only if the purchase was large.

Shen You took out a calculator and started typing.

There are 6 bottles in a box, and 2000 boxes contain a total of 12000 bottles.

This kind of professional outdoor products are not cheap. The wholesale price is 28 yuan per bottle, totaling more than 33 yuan. Because they promised to pay immediately after inspection, they also waived the shipping fee.

500 taels of gold minus the handling fee is 600 million.

This profit is much higher than that of the high-profit health care products industry.

After finishing another task, Shen You stretched lazily at the counter.

As it was getting evening, she ordered herself a bowl of barbecued pork rice and took out the remaining chicken feet from the refrigerator to have them together for dinner.

At the same time, the [Da Qi] antique shop is opened.

The weather has been changing rapidly recently, sometimes cold and sometimes hot. When I went out to feed the fish, I felt a slight chill.

Not long after, someone came into the store.

She was a young woman, about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a simple but clean dress.

She timidly grasped the things in her arms and looked at this strange shop with caution and suspicion.

His gaze finally fell on Shen You.

The girl was dressed very strangely, with half of her arms exposed, her skirt only reaching her calves, and her hair loose.

Wouldn't I be criticized if I went out dressed like this?

[Welcome to my shop, feel free to look around]
She had never heard such a strange tone of voice before. Luo Ziya's shoulders trembled and her expression became even more uneasy.

"Do you collect anything here?"

Hearing the weak voice, Shen You nodded.

"Of course the antique shop will accept it, but you have to see what it is."

I have seen many people buying things, but this is the first time someone came to my door to ask to collect something.

Shen You took out a wooden tray padded with soft cloth and motioned for her to put it up.

Luo Ziya hesitated and took out a hairpin from her arms, looking at Shen You's focused expression nervously.

This is a silver hairpin in the shape of a dragonfly. It looks quite delicate overall, but the workmanship is actually a bit rough.

The quality of the gemstones inlaid on it is also average, with impurities and not transparent enough, and the hairpin also shows signs of being slightly loose in two places.

Simply put, it is not worth much money. In the modern antique market, it is considered good if it can be sold for five thousand.

The mining level in ancient times was not good, and this kind of gem was a rare item among the common people, but in modern times it is a defective product.

"How is it?" Luo Ziya said unconfidently, "I went to the pawn shop, and I didn't agree with the price they offered."

That's why she wanted to look for other shops. She asked two shops in a row, and the prices offered by them were even lower than the first pawnshop.

Just when I was feeling desperate, I suddenly saw a store with a brighter door than any other store, so I walked in.

Shen You: "I see you seem to treasure this hairpin very much."

Luo Ziya nodded. "This is the dowry my mother secretly left for me. My father lost everything else in gambling. He and my grandmother wanted to sell me so that they could remarry. I need the money to go back to my grandparents' house."

Her eyes were red and she looked at Shen You expectantly.

"10 taels at most, will you sell it?"

This amount is definitely a loss for Shen You, but she just needs something to practice repairing, so she goes to the modern market to look for old items. It takes time and she might even come across fakes.

If there is a ready-made one, just buy it. It doesn’t matter if it is a bit expensive. You can also increase your business value.

She can't help with anything else, so she can only help here.

"Really? 10 taels?!" Luo Ziya was surprised and happy.

10 taels of silver is not a small sum of money. For a family working in the county government, it may take more than half a year to save that much!
