Chapter 62 [62] This Is the Charm of Antiques

Qin Yanan could not help but be secretly shocked. He rarely saw Master Zhang lose his composure like this.

From this, it can be seen how much Master Zhang values ​​this precious apprentice he just accepted.

This also made her feel more at ease.

It seems that the appraiser she found was not wrong.

Zhang Jicheng looked at Tang Feng, not hiding the admiration in his eyes, "Today, I will teach you the six rules of the antique business, which can be regarded as a kind of unspoken rule. If no one guides you, you are likely to violate these rules."

Tang Feng immediately made a listening gesture, "Please teach me, Master."

Just as the two were talking, a customer suddenly walked into the store.

Zhang Jicheng immediately stood up to greet him.

And Tang Feng followed him, silently learning his words and deeds.

The customer took a fancy to a snuff bottle on the shelf and asked the price.

"30,000." Zhang Jicheng decisively gave a quote.

"20,000." The man directly cut off one third.

Zhang Jicheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, and continued to haggle with the man for a while.

Finally, the price of 28,000 was finalized.

Just when Zhang Jicheng packed the snuff bottle and handed it to the customer.

The other party suddenly regretted, "I suddenly remembered that I didn't bring enough money, only 26,000 yuan, you might as well give me a discount of 2,000 yuan."

Zhang Jicheng's face sank, "We have already agreed on 28,000 yuan, not a penny less."

The customer was a little angry when he heard this, "I am also an old customer of yours, and I often come to take care of your business. Now I only let you discount it by 2,000 yuan, don't you even give me this little face?"

Zhang Jicheng put the snuff bottle back on the shelf, "Rules are rules, the agreed price is the price. If you regret it, you break the rules, you should go to another store to have a look."

Although the customer was angry, he really liked the snuff bottle in his heart, so he had to compromise, "Okay, okay, 28,000 is 20,000, hurry up and pack it for me."

But Zhang Jicheng's attitude was very firm, "Sorry, I won't sell it."

"Why don't you sell it again? Can't I offer 28,000 yuan?" The customer was immediately anxious.

"You only have one chance, which can only prove that you have no chance with this snuff bottle. You should go somewhere else to have a look." Zhang Jicheng's attitude was very firm.

"I just like this snuff bottle. Isn't it just about money? I have plenty of it. Will you sell it for 30,000?" The customer was immediately aroused by his competitive spirit and directly raised the price by 2,000 yuan.

Zhang Jicheng didn't even say a word this time, as if he was too lazy to waste his saliva with him.

"35,000?"

"40,000?"

The customer kept raising the price, but Zhang Jicheng didn't give in.

"Damn, you don't make money even if you have money, you are sick!"

The customer had no choice but to leave cursing.

Tang Feng saw this scene and was immediately confused.

Because he had seen it through the scanning system, the real value of this snuff bottle was 25,000.

Even if he sold it to the man for 26,000, he would still make a profit of 1,000 yuan.

If it were him, he would sell it on the spot.

No wonder the business of this Yayuan is not very good. It turns out that customers are driven away like this?

But strangely, Qin Yanan, as the boss, has been watching coldly.

Watching Zhang Jicheng drive the guests away, he did not stop him.

Zhang Jicheng saw his doubts and laughed immediately, "Do you think your master is too old-fashioned? Don't know how to adapt?"

"I dare not."

Although Tang Feng said he dared not, the expression on his face clearly meant this.

Zhang Jicheng patted his shoulder, "This is the first rule that Master wants to warn you. Once the two parties have agreed on the price, you can't regret it."

Tang Feng was a little confused, "Why? Anyway, we have something to earn."

Zhang Jicheng shook his head and smiled, "Young man, don't just covet the petty profits in front of you. Every rule is summarized by the predecessors with countless lessons. If we let such people who are untrustworthy and profit-seeking run rampant, our antique business will not go far."

Tang Feng heard his explanation and felt that it made sense.

If everyone in this industry is untrustworthy, I really don't know how chaotic it will be.

"From the first rule, the second rule is triggered, that is, no matter the seller or the buyer, you cannot ask for or return the goods after the transaction."

Zhang Jicheng paused and continued, "Sometimes the seller makes a mistake and sells the precious things at a low price. Or the buyer makes a mistake and spends a high price to buy a fake, and they will ask for an account later. We must also resolutely resist this behavior."

Tang Feng has heard of this rule, but he doesn't know the reason.

Zhang Jicheng saw his doubts and continued to answer, "The reason is very simple, because the antique business is not a normal commodity transaction, it is more like a kind of gambling. After you lose in the casino, can you get the money back?"

Tang Feng smiled and shook his head, "Then you probably will be beaten by the casino, right?"

Zhang Jicheng slowly sat back in the chair, picked up the tea and took a sip, "Antiques test your eyesight. You may become rich overnight with your extraordinary eyesight, or you may become poor overnight because of your poor eyesight. This is the charm of antiques. We must resolutely resist people with bad intentions."

Tang Feng nodded as if he understood.

This is the difference between having a master and not having one.

He used to know the rules but not the reasons.

After the master's guidance today, he finally understood the meaning behind these rules.

"Come on, the master will take you to visit some friends."

Zhang Jicheng put down his teacup, stood up, patted his shoulder, and walked out first.

Tang Feng didn't know what he was going to do, but he followed him.

Qin Yanan also wanted to join in the fun.

Fortunately, there were other employees in the store, so there was no need to worry about no one watching the store.

Opposite to Yayuan, there was an antique shop called "Shengdingxuan", which was much larger than Yayuan, and its business was more prosperous than Yayuan.

When the three of them walked to the door of Shengdingxuan, they saw a very festive-looking fat man coming out.

"Hey, what wind blew Boss Qin and Master Zhang here? Rare guests, rare guests."
