Start with an antique shop and become rich overnight

Chapter 258 Who can collect this bead?

"Is there a possibility that it is an antique pearl?" Gu Shaoyu asked back.

Shen You has so many good things in her hands, and anyone who can deal with her and exchange collections with her would not be an ordinary collector.

The things collected by those aristocratic families with real background are something that ordinary people, let alone people from families like theirs, may not have ever seen.

Mrs. Gu nodded, "It is possible."

Some priceless jewels from abroad disappear for hundreds of years and suddenly appear at an auction one day.

"We still have to look at it and complete the appraisal before we can make a conclusion. We can help arrange it and ensure that the appraisal process will not be manipulated by others." Mrs. Gu added.

Gu Shaoyu agreed, "Shen You will bring the beads over today for me to have a look at, and we'll do an appraisal first."

"That's great! I'm free this afternoon, so I'll go with you to take a look."

If it is a real natural seawater pearl, it is so rare to see such a big one! It would be good to see it.

Seeing that the two of them still didn't believe that they were cultured pearls, Gu Yue only said, "I am also looking forward to the identification results."

After saying that, he took his phone and left.

I exchanged cultured pearls for real antiques worth a lot of money. I was laughed at and taken advantage of in the circle.

-

in the afternoon.

On the way to the studio, Shen You stopped by Master Zuo's tailor shop and left the fabric there for consignment.

These are all finely woven, and the embroidery on them is in no way inferior to the works of modern masters.

In the past, silkworms were thinner and produced finer silk threads, so the things they made were different.

These fabrics are in great demand, and even rich ladies from other cities come here specifically to buy them.

Master Zuo's tailor shop had just opened, and Shen You took advantage of his working period to select two pieces of cloth to make custom clothes for herself.

The quality of the fabric sent by Shen You is really good. Her spending is not as high as those old customers, but she is also a VIP of the tailor shop.

As long as Master Zuo is available, we will try to schedule her work earlier in the construction schedule.

Once you start selecting fabrics to make clothes, you can't stop unless you run out of money.

Otherwise, I would want to stock up on any nice fabrics I saw and would end up buying several pieces of fabric in the store without realizing it.

Hearing that Shen You was in the tailor shop, Mrs. Gu asked Gu Shaoyu to drive over as well.

Shen You might have brought new fabrics from the tailor shop, so I had to hurry over and buy whatever I liked first. Last time, I was a step too late and someone else bought the unique piece of embroidered fabric first.

The other party made a cheongsam shawl. She saw it when she was playing mahjong at a New Year's party. It was so beautiful, the embroidery was very lively, and the silver thread was real silver thread.

Shen You had just confirmed the style and matching of the new clothes with Master Zuo when she saw Gu Shaoyu and Madam Gu coming in and greeted them, "Madam Gu."

Mrs. Gu smiled and nodded, "Ms. Shen, long time no see."

"Have you got new materials?" Mrs. Gu's eyes lit up when she saw the rolls of materials placed next to her, and she walked forward to start choosing.

Master Zuo held up an old-fashioned ruler and said, "Mrs. Gu, you came at the right time. These are all freshly-acquired materials. I was just about to send a message to you all."

Hearing this, Mrs. Gu was glad that she arrived in time. If she had waited until those ladies received the news, they would not have been able to buy the materials they wanted.

To make cheongsams and Chinese-style designs, you still have to use these traditional materials and embroideries.

I always feel that other materials are a little less interesting.

"I've ordered this floral pattern, and this one as well." "Ms. Shen, what do you think of this Chinese-style vest that's popular recently? What color should I match the collar with?"

Shen You gave a serious suggestion: "With this pattern, why not try making a half-sleeve with a closed collar, and wear it with a stand-up collar shirt inside. This pair of embroidery pieces will just fit the edge of the collar. I rarely make vests."

She has never done it before. The main reason is that she really doesn't know when to wear it. When it's cold, she wears a vest, but her hands are still cold.

"I haven't tried the style you mentioned yet. Okay, let's wear it this way."

When Mrs. Gu saw the fabric she liked, she was happy to think about the finished garment. As for the price, since they were all old customers, they knew that Master Zuo would not raise the price excessively.

She didn't even ask any questions and just paid directly in the end.

Gu Shaoyu, who was dressed very elegantly, was sitting on a low stool holding his cell phone, waiting, looking like the stupid son of a landlord.

He didn't understand the fun of his mother's enthusiasm and hesitation in choosing the main and auxiliary ingredients.

He always has the brand's tailors design his custom clothes. He feels dazzled by having to choose from so many accessories himself. It is a waste of time to let specialized people do specialized things.

"Mom, you finally picked it out." Gu Shaoyu stood up helplessly, "Xiao Lu is here."

"I had new material, so I looked at it for a little longer. I'm sorry to have wasted your time, Miss Shen." Mrs. Gu turned to Shen You.

"It's okay, we're not in a hurry." Shen You said with a smile.

As soon as she went out, she received the money for the fabric transferred by Master Zuo. What would be wrong with Mrs. Gu picking more?
When we arrived at the studio, everyone arranged things in an orderly manner. This year's work coordination was mainly arranged by Gu Shaoyu and Xiao Lu.

Shen You soon found some free time and agreed with Yu Xiaosu and the other three to have lunch together at the studio at noon the next day.

She has something to do today and has to go get her pearls appraised later.

She didn't understand pearls, but she knew that the pearls that could dazzle everyone at the old emperor's birthday party must be the right ones.

In modern times, identification is still necessary, otherwise no one will believe that this is a natural pearl.

Whether you want to sell it in the future or use it to support formal occasions, it will require identification.

Gu Shaoyu was still busy inside. Shen You made a pot of tea for Mrs. Gu, who couldn't wait to see the pearl.

"Ms. Shen, don't worry about Shaoyu. I have more experience than him. How about we take a look first?"

Mrs. Gu looked at Shen You expectantly.

"Okay." Shen You took the box out of the storage compartment using the cover of the canvas bag.

He placed it carefully on the table and then turned to call Mrs. Gu.

It is a cloudy day today and the light is not very good, but the luster of the pearl in the box is not affected at all, it is bright and gentle, as if moonlight is flowing.

"beautiful!"

Mrs. Gu, like Shen You who had just received the bead last night, was stunned at the first sight and couldn't help but marvel at it.

She was in the jewelry business, and had never seen pearls with such a beautiful luster. The sky-high-priced pearls in previous auctions were not as good as this one.

Now, she was absolutely sure that this pearl could not be artificially cultivated.

She has artificially cultivated seawater pearls worth hundreds of thousands, but they are far inferior to this one!
What’s even more rare is that this bead has not been inlaid or punched, which makes it even more valuable.

What kind of person could collect such beads? Mrs. Gu couldn't help but wonder.

Most people can never see things of this level, let alone just wave their hands and take them out to exchange with Shen You.

This is indeed a difficult question to ask, as the other party must be someone very powerful.
