Start with an antique shop and become rich overnight

Chapter 68 Buying a Jade Bracelet

Master Jiang's apprentice Fu Xicheng is in the imperial capital's antique circle. He still has a lot of face. The boss can see that they are all experts, so he opened his mouth.
"Did you guys bring anything with you?"

Shen You took out the jade pendant, the token of trust that the Prince of Da Qi had given her in exchange.

"What a good thing!" The boss's eyes lit up. "It's in perfect condition. If you sell it, I'll take it for 160."

Shen You politely shook her head, she would lose money at this price.

"I just brought this thing here today to look at it. I haven't decided to sell it yet."

Hearing this, the boss hinted that the price could be negotiated. This jade pendant looked like a royal item, and even if it was sold for 200 million, it would still be a good profit.

If you come across something good, you must accept it. Seeing that Shen You was really unwilling to give in, I left my contact information and said that I could contact you if I came up with something in the future.

In fact, Shen You came to the antique street today, not only to have a look around, but also to bring some valuable little items to look around.

Her name gradually became known in this industry, and people in the circle knew that her shop had good things, so it made sense for her to ship more goods in the future.

Next to the Antique Street is the Jade and Jewelry Market. Shen You took her parents there after they met up with them in the teahouse.

This is a store opened by Gu Shaoyu's family. When he heard that Shen You and the others were coming here, Gu Shaoyu made a special call.

Shen You looked at two jade bracelets and said she wanted to pick one as a gift for her mother.

Mother Shen's birthday is in two days, so she specially arranged the trip. The old couple has never been to the capital in their lives, and they always wanted to have a chance to visit. If something hadn't happened at home, they should have come a long time ago.

In the past, my cousin's wife loved to take some rags that she didn't like and give them to her and her mother, with an expression of almsgiving.

She didn't want the jewelry that cost more than fifty dollars and the old coat that was so old that the leather was peeling off, but she insisted on giving it to me.

It's a nice name. I have too many things to wear, so it's a token of my thoughtfulness and I want them to thank me.

In the end she had to pack it up and throw it away.

Those people thought their home only deserved old things, so she bought them for her family herself.

The other one was the one she chose for herself. It had very good water quality and was transparent, with a hint of purple in the light green.

Shen You didn’t want to buy it at first, but that’s only because the ring size is small and most people can’t wear it, so the price is relatively cheap, just over 10,000 yuan.

Xu Jiayan originally said that it was Shen's mother's birthday and he would pay, but Shen You disagreed, so she paid the total price of 5 yuan herself.

Although she knew Gu Shaoyu, she didn't take advantage of him. The price was reasonable and the goods she chose were not high-end products worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It just means that it doesn’t matter who you buy from, so it’s better to go to a store you know so that you don’t have to start from an inflated price and negotiate down.

The store employees were also stunned by Shen You's insistence on buying the goods himself.

In the past, when you saw someone paying for you in a store, everyone would be very happy and few would refuse.

"My daughter, this is too expensive at more than 30,000 yuan. What if it gets broken?" Shen's mother said worriedly.

"Broken jade is a way to ward off disaster."

Shen You gave a reason that the elders could accept, so that her mother could wear it with confidence.

She didn't do something stupid like lying to her parents and saying it was only two hundred yuan. She had to let her parents know how expensive it was so that they wouldn't be taken advantage of by fake relatives.

I also told Shen's mother that if anyone asked me how much it cost, I would say I didn't know.

That evening, while I was eating authentic copper hotpot, news about the Fire-Huan Cloth came to me on my cell phone.

It is said to be a stunning discovery that shocked the traditional craft circle, the fire-resistant cloth was made using a lost weaving technique.

This news has been forwarded by many self-media. Although there is only one picture, it has become a small hit on various platforms.

In addition, it was mentioned that someone from abroad had come to buy it, but the owner refused and directly donated part of it, which caused a lot of comments.

When I came out after dinner, I heard guests from another table talking.

"I heard that this is the only piece of fireproof cloth in the world, and the piece that was donated is worth a fortune."

"The donor has donated porcelain worth several small goals before. You see, he said he made his fortune by inheriting a relative's inheritance. He is still very young." "When will my long-lost wealthy relative find me!"

"This thing is really beautiful. In ancient times, only the royal family and nobles could wear it. I still can't catch up with their living standards."

As Shen You passed by, he silently added: All of them were collected by the emperor alone, as a symbol of imperial power, and even princes and nobles could not wear them.

The living standards were still far ahead of modern times.

On the third day in the capital, Shen You sent his parents to the tour group gathering place in the morning and transferred another 20,000 yuan to them.

This is a customized high-end pure play group, with excellent food, accommodation and transportation.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen happily joined the group, got on the comfortable minibus, and went to the first stop.

When they are with the young, they are also reserved, and have more to say with their peers.

Shen You and the other two, together with Master Jiang's other female disciple Hua Jun, went to the ancient imperial palace and various museums to check in.

Hua Jun was very interested in the cloth bag that Shen You was carrying. She figured out that it was a traditional method, but slightly different.

Many people think that bags in ancient times were just a piece of cloth carried on the shoulders. In fact, there were all kinds of bags, and some even had adjustable straps. Our ancestors had already used today's shoulder bags.

There is a similar studio to the one Shen You used. Hua Jun looked at it carefully and found that the details are different.

"Can I take some photos? I want to take them back and try to replicate them."

During the break, Hua Jun blinked and looked at Shen You expectantly.

"No problem." Shen You handed the bag to her.

"It's all handmade. It's surprising that only our studio can find such good workmanship." Hua Jun asked Fu Xicheng to look at it together as if he had discovered a treasure.

"Shen You, where did you buy it?" she asked curiously.

"It's still the friend who traded Fire-Wearing Cloth with me." Shen You smiled and was able to answer this question calmly.

It seems that the craftsmanship of the best fabric shop in the capital of Da Qi cannot compare with the styles in the palace in modern replicas, but it is still presentable.

Otherwise, it would not have attracted Hua Jun's attention.

Shen You looked at the high vermilion walls and glazed tiles of the palace. On the table was the afternoon tea they ordered. The ambience was nice, but the taste was average.

In the Collectors Association group, people she met in the circle were also sending messages.

All of a sudden, the phone was overwhelmed with messages.

Fortunately, she is not in Jiangcheng, otherwise the door of her store would have been broken down.

Boss Huo: "Boss Shen, you kept it a secret too well. You didn't even let me take a look at such a good thing."

This is someone who introduced a big client to her, so she can't just treat him casually.

Shen You replied quickly,

"I wasn't sure before, but when the results came out, I hurriedly sent it to the capital. After a while, when the remaining part is sent back, you can come to my place for tea again."

Boss Huo was happy now, knowing that Shen You would definitely not produce this thing again, but it was still an eye-opener after seeing it.

Zheng Mingbo and Mr. Zhou who bought golden nanmu were also asking if they were willing to sell.

These two wealthy men both wanted enough meters to make a piece of clothing, and they asked for a very high price.

Shen You helplessly replied, "I really can't sell it this time. There aren't enough left."

She also has to collect it herself.
