Start with an antique shop and become rich overnight

Chapter 6 Golden Phoebe Furniture
When Shen You saw that the other party was about to jump up and chop her camera, she activated the electric shock function worth five thousand yuan.

The next second, a flash of lightning came towards him.

Zhang Hu fell down with his body twitching. When the lightning faded, his face was pitch black and his hair had turned into an afro.

The soldier next to him stood there in a daze, his hand holding the knife shaking uncontrollably.

In the blink of an eye, the door was gone, but smoke was still coming out of their heads.
Who dares to move this?
Zhang Hu was also scared this time. He picked up the knife, rushed out of the alley with his afro, mounted his horse and left the city overnight.

In the shop.

Shen You looked at the people fleeing in panic from the surveillance camera. The electric shock function was really useful and worth it!
She stood up and closed the door to the real world, then took out the incense burner and tea set she had just obtained today.

So lovely.

Being able to touch porcelain of this level would make people envious for a long time if they told others about it in the antique circle.

Shen You looked back and forth for more than ten minutes.

The heirloom treasure is real, but she has only seen photos of the authentic Ru kiln celadon glaze and has never touched the real thing, so she is not sure how big the difference is.

The specifications of later imitations are still acceptable, but the similarity is too high, so no matter how valuable they are, they cannot be sold.

Those who commit illegal transactions will end up crying behind bars.

Shen You sighed softly and carefully put the things away.

The next day, she went out at around nine o'clock and had breakfast at a nearby shop.

By the way, I sent the photos of the furniture I took yesterday to Mr. Huo from Xingmaoyuan and asked him if there were any interested buyers.

The old shops on Antique Street all have connections with collectors and bigwigs, and the owners themselves also like collecting.

Good things can be sold quickly as long as the price is right.

Shen You was planning to replace the furniture when renovating the house, but there was no need to use such good ones. It would be more practical to exchange them for money.

The reason why I asked for golden nanmu is that it is not easy to get into trouble by reselling it.

There are furniture on the market that is made of old materials from hundreds of years ago and imitates ancient specifications. Most importantly, she has no foundation in the antique street, and selling this kind of wooden furniture can avoid changing the situation.

But she didn't expect that the Crown Prince of Da Qi could get such good material in just three days, which exceeded her expectations.

Before Shen You finished eating the fried dough sticks, Huo Zhiming called her in a hurry.

"Boss Shen, I have a customer who likes golden nanmu, but he has very high requirements for quality. I can't see the details clearly in your photo. How about I go over and take a look at the real thing?"

Shen You agreed, "Okay, I'll be back at the store in about ten minutes."

She is confident about the quality of this furniture.

The table top is made of a whole piece of wood, not just several pieces of wood joined together. It has a standard mortise and tenon structure and does not have a single nail.

After breakfast, I returned to the store and not long after, Huo Zhiming arrived.

Compared with Xingmaoyuan, her store is no different from a scrap yard.

Huo Zhiming's heart trembled when he saw the set of furniture placed on the terrazzo floor in the style of the last century in the warehouse.

Isn’t that too casual?
A place that even thieves wouldn't want to steal. Such nice furniture is placed there, but there's just a piece of waste cardboard underneath?
This material and craftsmanship are both amazing! It is also a rare purple gold material that is hard to find in a thousand years.

In ancient times, only the emperor could use it. The dragon throne was carved from this kind of wood. It emits golden light, has its own fragrance, and can also repel insects.

The golden nanmu grows extremely slowly and has high requirements for the environment, so the old trees have long been protected.

Those that can be used to make entire desktops are all old materials collected by other people, and they are used up as they are used less.

Huo Zhiming looked at the golden light emanating from the wooden fibers on the table and was reluctant to blink.

Boss Shen is a good person to get along with. If you have something good, he will be the first one to be contacted!

"I was planning to renovate the house and found it when I was cleaning up the warehouse. Yesterday, when I wiped the dust, I saw that it was golden nanmu." After hearing this, Huo Zhiming felt numb at the back of his head, and the words envy and jealousy kept circling in his ears.

"I have been in this business for many years and have seen agarwood and huanghuali, but this is the first time I have dealt with golden nanmu of such high quality."

Huo Zhiming's tone became excited.
"You smell the fragrance, it's natural, and the touch is so good, the fakes on the market can't compare to it."

The previous boss probably didn't know either, otherwise how could he leave tens of millions of dollars in the warehouse to gather dust and run the shop like a scrap dealer.

Huo Zhiming sighed, took out his cell phone and went outside to make a call.

Those in this business are not afraid of having their big customers poached, as the number of genuine goods is already small, and the expensive ones are even rarer.

When there are good things, everyone shares information, and the middleman can do favors for big customers, which is a win-win situation.

After a while, Huo Zhiming returned to the store and said to Shen You,
"I've told a few people who can make bids, and someone's coming to take a look this afternoon. Is that okay with you?"

"No problem." Shen You smiled and poured Huo Zhiming a cup of tea. "We only have ordinary Longjing tea in the store, so just drink this."

The big business behind closed doors in the antique shop was all about fine tea, and she was afraid that the other party would misunderstand her, so she reached out and showed the teapots on the shelf.

Huo Zhiming was silent for two seconds, then said sincerely, "I'll bring you a can of Mingqian Longjing tea later."

If it were someone else, he might suspect that it was intentional, but for Shen You, it was too reasonable to put tens of millions of dollars worth of stuff in a shabby warehouse.

"Boss Shen, do you have any other good things when you clean up the warehouse?" Huo Zhiming inquired.

"A few small things have not been cleared out yet."

Shen You didn't say anything definite, so she might have to use this excuse again in the future.

Huo Zhiming nodded, knowing that she had no plans to release anything else at the moment, and did not continue the topic.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, a low-key black business car stopped outside.

A man in his forties got out of the back seat. He was dressed casually and didn't look like a big shot at all.

"Boss Huo, I haven't seen you for a while. I heard that there was a golden nanmu tree for sale, so I came here specially."

"I know you are busy, and I won't bother you if it's not a good thing."

Huo Zhiming patted his chest and made a promise. He brought people in and introduced Shen You to them.

After the acquaintance, the three of them walked into the warehouse together. Mr. Zhou couldn't take his eyes off the furniture when he saw it.

"It is indeed top-quality old material. The table and chairs are made of the same piece of material!"

Huo Zhiming agreed, "If it weren't for my friendship with Boss Shen, it might have been taken by someone else first."

"Forty million, can be transferred immediately, how about it?" Mr. Zhou made an offer.

Before Shen You could say anything, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Forty million? It's barely enough to buy a table."

The person who came in was a slightly plump man, and judging from his unruly hairstyle, one could tell that he was an art collector.

"Give me the fifty million. You can pay me right away."

Shen You put down the shaking teacup and tried to calm his breathing.

This is the first time I've seen such a price increase. There are still many hidden rich people in this world. They can talk about tens of millions as if it were just a few hundred dollars.

"Brother Zheng is here too. I'll pay 55 million, after tax."

Mr. Zhou hurriedly raised the price and mentally cursed Zheng Mingbo, who was also a member of the Collectors Association.

Boss Shen looked young and had just taken over the store halfway through. He didn't look like an expert, so he offered 40 million just to test the other party's bottom line.
This kid stepped on him to gain favor from the very beginning. He didn't care about his dignity at all in order to get this set of furniture!

Can't he afford 50 million?
