    "Brother Qin, it's not that I am so beautiful. As you know, I am in the jade business. I am naturally fond of this stuff. I can't get it out of my eyes."

    Nie Tianbao half-seriously joked with Qin Feng, but he really fell in love with this set of jades. Although zodiac jade is common, there are not many exquisite ones spread in the world.

    The set of jade in front of you is not only a jade with the zodiac head and human body that has never appeared before, but also has superb knife skills and elegant shape. Judging from the luster and patina of the jade, it can be said that it is an ancient jade handed down from generation to generation. It can be said that  It's a set of treasures.

    Qin Feng smiled when he heard this and said: "Boss Nie, I also plan to deal in jade. This set of stuff is what I keep for the store, so don't think about it."

    "You also want to run a jade shop?" Nie Tianbao was stunned when he heard this. Before, he had only heard that Zhou Lihong became Qin Feng as Qin's boss. He never knew what projects Qin Feng was running.

    "I have this idea."

    Qin Feng nodded and said: "But the things I dabble in are quite complicated. In addition to jade, I also have a few items like celebrity calligraphy and painting and ceramics. Is it a grocery store?"

    "Hey, my brother is really awesome. Isn't he an all-rounder?"

    Qin Feng said it in an understatement, but Nie Tianbao didn't dare to really think that he opened a grocery store. Apart from anything else, his status as Mr. Qi's disciple alone was enough for Qin Feng to gain a foothold in the antique world.

    "No, Brother Nie is famous in the jade shop in the north."

    Qin Feng said politely, but with a proud look on his face, he said: "Although ancient jade is rare and precious, its international recognition is  Too low. In the future, my store will still be in line with international standards"

    "In line with international standards? Boy, don't you know that the sky is high and the earth is high?"

    After hearing Qin Feng¡¯s words, Nie Tianbao lowered his head, but a sneer appeared on his face. He had been in the jade business for so many years.  He naturally knew that the birthplace of jade was in China, and Hetian jade was unique to China.

    As a category of jewelry, jade jewelry is still far behind compared with diamonds, rubies and sapphires, which have won many awards at international jewelry exhibitions.

    Especially Europeans, basically do not recognize the status of jade in the jewelry industry. Even the popularity of jade in the West is much higher than that of Hetian jade.

    There were also people who wanted to expand the jade business to the West.  But compared to the crystal clear diamonds, the restrained and moist nature of jade cannot be recognized by Westerners.

    On the contrary, Chinese porcelain, calligraphy and painting have been sold at high prices in many foreign auction houses in recent years, attracting the pursuit of many Western collectors. That's why Qin Feng said those words.

    However, due to various domestic restrictions on cultural relics, smuggling is the only way to do business in the West.  It's almost a fantasy.

    You should know that antiques are popular in domestic collection circles.  It is also necessary to follow the cultural relics grading system.

    Even if there are masterpieces that have been passed down from generation to generation, foreigners cannot take them out of customs if they buy them. This not only protects the cultural relics from being lost, but also restricts the exchange of domestic artworks with the world.

    Therefore, Qin Feng¡¯s words that are in line with international standards sound like a joke to Nie Tianbao. You can¡¯t sell domestic products.  How to talk about conformity?  It's just Qin Feng's wishful thinking.

    "Brother Qin, you have a big business, it's just a set of jade articles, just transfer it to me."

    After thinking about it, Qin Feng has such a "grand goal".  Isn't there a chance to win this jade set?  Nie Tianbao's face was suddenly filled with a smile and he said: "Brother, as long as you are willing, I will definitely give you a satisfactory price!"

    "Oh? Brother Nie, do you really want it?"

    Qin Feng showed a look of hesitation on his face and said, "I want to open a store in Panjiayuan recently, but I only have a few hundred thousand in cash on hand, so I really can't afford it."

    "That's right, brother Qin, if you want to open an antique store, it won't work without a million-dollar store"

    Seeing that Qin Feng¡¯s mouth was loose, Nie Tianbao quickly encouraged: ¡°Especially for people like you who make celebrity calligraphy, paintings and ceramics. Those items are very expensive.¡±

    This man sometimes forgets the pain when his scars are removed. I think Nie Tianbao was also rushing to buy the jade from "Ma Zibian", but at this moment, he completely forgot about that matter and was focused on getting rid of the jade in front of him.  The jade set is in the bag.

    "Forget it, Boss Nie, I wonder if you are interested in calligraphy and painting? How abouthow about I give you a painting by Qi Baishi?"

      Qin Feng thought for a long time, shook his head and said: "I still have a few calligraphy and paintings by modern masters, but this is the only set of jade items. If I sell these things, I won't even have the stuff I used in the shop"

    "Brother Qin, I am in the jade business and I don't know how to calligraphy and painting."

    Nie Tianbao became a little anxious and said: "You have also heard of Qi Baishi's calligraphy and paintings. They are sold by the foot, but the size of his paintings are not large. One painting only costs one or two hundred thousand, right? This can't be explained little brother.  It¡¯s your urgent need.¡±

    With the improvement of people's living standards, antiques have gradually become popular in society in recent years. Unlike in the 1980s, you can find good things everywhere. Now it is even more difficult to get your favorite items.

    Therefore, Nie Tianbao¡¯s urgent mood is completely understandable. When some collectors communicate in private, if they encounter something they like, they will chase the owner for several years.

    "Brother, that's what you said"

    After hearing Nie Tianbao's words, Qin Feng showed a look of struggle on his face. He looked at the brocade box with reluctance and said hesitantly: "Actually, the pressure on money is not very great. Find some friends to raise funds.  It¡¯s enough.¡±

    "Brother Qin, it's not that I'm saying weird things. This money is not my own, and it's not easy to use it." Nie Tianbao is now obsessed with buying this set of jade articles. He doesn't even know that he looks ugly now.  .

    "Brother Nie, do you really want it?" Qin Feng touched the brocade box and looked at Nie Tianbao.

    "Of course, brother Qin, don't worry, I will definitely not lose you money on the price!"

    Nie Tianbao patted his chest. He could see how rare and precious this jade set was, even if it was sold at a high price.  In a few years, when the value of the jade increases, he will definitely not suffer a loss.

    "Thenthen what price can you offer?"

    Qin Feng gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Nie, we brothers will settle the score clearly. I'll be the one to say something ugly. If the price is too low, I won't sell it!"

    Nie Tianbao stretched out two fingers, waved them in front of his face, and said, "Brother Qin, what do you think of the price?"

    "Two hundred thousand?" Qin Feng straightened his face and said, "Brother Nie, are you trying to be a brother? I'll sell you two hundred thousand and it's almost enough!"

    The sale of ancient jade depends on the quality of the jade, the craftsmanship of the carver, and the inheritance of ancient jade.  It also depends on the skill of the jade plater. A piece of jade is all played with. If the jade plate is well plated, the value can even rise several times.

    In today¡¯s ancient jade market, you can get ordinary toy pieces for a million dollars or a few thousand dollars, and the prices vary greatly.  The market is relatively chaotic.

    Like Qin Feng¡¯s jade set, it is made of fine Hetian jade.  Moreover, every piece of jade has at least one kind of color on it. The color of the jade is oily, and it is obviously that it is often played with.

    Among them, the dragon head and human zodiac jade has four kinds of colors from the dragon head to the human body, if it is not too small in size.  If it were sold alone, it would cost at least 300,000 yuan.

    "Hey, brother Qin, don't worry, I didn't say 200,000 yuan to buy these items of yours."

    Seeing Qin Feng, he became anxious.  Instead, Nie Tianbao laughed and said, "Two million, I'll accept this deal. What do you think, brother Qin? Isn't the price you paid me generous enough?"

    "Two million? This price is still low."

    Qin Feng thought for a moment, shook his head, opened the brocade box and said, "Brother Nie, it's not that I'm greedy. If this set of jades is sold separately, the dragon, tiger and ox-monkey zodiac signs must be at least three in number."  About 100,000.

    Although the other ones are not as outstanding as the Dragon, Tiger, Ox and Monkey, this is a set. You also know the rules in the industry. The price of orphan items is high. Likewise this complete set is even more rare than the orphan items  "

    Qin Feng closed the lid of the brocade box as he spoke, and then said: "The price is 2 million, I'd better keep it for myself. I'll keep this thing in my hand for a few years, and then send it to the auction. I guess  It¡¯s worth at least 5 million!¡±

    "Five million, brother Qin, youyour price is too high, isn't it?"

    Nie Tianbao laughed bitterly when he heard this. He knew that 2 million would not be enough to buy this set of jade. However, the price offered by Qin Feng was really difficult for him to accept. After all, it was too high beyond the market price.

    Nie Tianbao thought for a moment and said seriously: "Brother Qin, three million, I can offer up to three million at most. As you know, if this set of jade is in the hands of others, it would be great if Dingtian can give you 2.5 million  ¡­¡±

    Nie Tianbao admitted that what Qin Feng said made sense, but the market in a few years will definitely be different from now. Moreover, due to inflation, the currency is also depreciating. The purchasing power of 5 million at that time may not exceed the 3 million now.  .

    "3000000?"

    Qin Feng pondered, but he burst into laughter in his heart. This Nie Tianbao is really a living Lei Feng of the modern era. Every time he encounters difficulties, he can always meet this buddy.

    "Okay, then three million!"

    Qin Feng nodded and said: "Boss Nie, I am in business. Although I guarantee that this thing is handed down from generation to generation, it is best for you to find an expert to identify it. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, I will not be responsible  ¡­¡±

    This set of jade articles was originally carved from ancient jade. Even if it is tested with instruments, it is still true, so Qin Feng is not afraid to take it out for identification. Even if it is in Qi Gong's hands, he will not be able to tell for a while.  It is true.

    "Okay, Boss Qin is really honest in doing business!"

    Nie Tianbao was thinking about talking to Qin Feng about the appraisal, but he didn't expect that the other party actually brought it up himself. The last trace of doubt in his heart disappeared. After all, he had suffered a few losses in the past few years, so he was bitten by a snake.  Ten years of fear of well ropes.
