Chapter 166 Brother, don't joke
It seems that this guy is really doing his homework and talking freely is not something that ordinary people can do.
Hu Yang did not break his promise, glanced at the stall, picked about ten of them, and distributed them to Andy Lau and others, leaving only one of them himself.
"I'll give the money." As he said that, Luo Bufan immediately took out three hundred yuan.
In the past two or three days, I greeted Brother Hu. He had not paid a penny yet, but he got a lot of treasures and was dissatisfied with it. He would pay immediately when he had the chance.
Hu Yang didn’t argue with him, it would be the same for anyone to give him three or two hundred yuan!
The black guy smiled so hard that he only showed his white teeth, which was a bit scary. He sold ten people in one go and made more than two hundred. Of course he was happy. These small gourds were actually very cheap to purchase.
He went directly to the production site to get the goods. He picked some, which cost about two or three yuan each, which was very cheap. After all, these were all left over from others. Those with high value such as the best and relatively high-quality ones have long been picked out.
"Brother Hu, isn't that even smaller?" Andy Lau asked, pointing to the small gourd on the stall.
Hu Yang shook his head: "Although he was right just now, the smaller the gourd, the better. But it is not absolute, and there are other factors that affect it.
For example, the one you mentioned is a bit crooked and not straight enough.
The gourd should be dry, has a good shape, and has a straight core. It should be very symmetrical. The kind that cannot stand up and down is the best. In the future, if you like to play with this kind of thing, you should pay attention when choosing."
In addition, the gourd should feel like it is falling when you start with the hand. The heavier the gourd, the higher the density, so the growth period of the gourd should be longer.
The skin color should be clean, without any flaws, and should be as clean as water. The jargon: a pool of water.
etc.
The cultural gourd is not as simple as imagined. Like the cultural walnut, there are many requirements. If you buy a new product, you have to learn how to play it so that you can make a cultural gourd well and its value will come out.
After long-term play with the gourd itself, its color will gradually turn from yellow to red, from red to purple, and be bright and moist. The value of this color gourd must be far higher than that of ordinary gourds.
Some businesses have arisen in order to pursue profits.
Then, if you are choosing an old gourd, you have to pay attention. You must not want a gourd with a pale skin color, because the gourd must have been soaked in medicine.
Moreover, you can also smell the inner and outer skin. Gourds that have not been touched should emit a strong and natural gourd fragrance. For example, the inner and outer skin of the gourds have a pungent smell or no taste at all, which indicates that the gourd itself has done hands and feet and is determined not to do so.
After Hu Yang finished speaking, it was the black guy's turn this time. He never expected that this guy was so powerful and he was very knowledgeable, even more research than him.
At least, among the points he mentioned just now, there are some things he didn't pay attention to.
"You are all new gourds, so when you go back, you can play when you have time. When you plate the patina, it will be worth hundreds of times, and thousands of times," Huyang and Zhufu said.
When it comes to playing with gourds on the plate, there are also skills. Poplar euphratica picks some important things to tell you.
"It can be seen that these gourds have been sunburned for a while, so it is a little more convenient. Otherwise, they will usually be left to dry for a few months. If you want to plate them with red and purple effects, you will need to dry them for more than one year. If you don't pursue the red and purple effects of the background, you can get started with it."
When you start a hand-trading, you don’t have to start with your hands naked at the beginning. It’s best to wear gloves and do it for about an hour every day for a month.
"Wearing gloves mainly prevents oil stains and excessive moisture from penetrateing into the gourd and prevents the skin of the flower. Of course, if you don't think of gloves, it's best to start playing for an hour after taking a shower, which is also good."
After a month, you can be more casual. If you play with it for a year or two, you can almost plate the beautiful patina. By then, it is normal for a well-plated cultural gourd to cost several thousand yuan, and a little more than tens of thousands, and a few hundred thousand yuan. If you add it to the carving, hundreds of thousands is not impossible.
"A few years ago, cultural relics gourds were still known as the cheapest cultural relics. Everyone could afford them. Some fine works can be purchased for hundreds of dollars. Now, there are no fine works for more than 10,000 yuan, and people don't want to pay attention to you." Hu Yang said with a smile.
Some gourds are naturally of different shapes, some are like birds and some are like mice... No one is willing to take action for such high-quality products for less than a thousand yuan.
There are also extremely small gourds, high-quality products with a height of only 2-2.5 cm, and the prices are several thousand or tens of thousands of yuan.
When everyone heard how to play the game, Zhu Fu almost gave up the idea of playing the game. It was really troublesome. There were so many things to pay for, and it took so long. Even if you could sell it for 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, it would feel a bit unworthy of the money!
"Have you had more than just money before?" Andy Lau asked, playing with the one in his hand.
Poplar thought about it and corrected it: "It's not right to say this. In fact, cultural gourds became popular hundreds of years ago. During the Ming Dynasty, two gourds the size of pea could be worth twenty or thirty taels of silver. Do you know what this concept is?"
At that time, there were regulations on the price: one ingot of banknotes, one stone of rice; one liang of gold, ten stones; one liang of silver, two stones.
Twenty or thirty taels of silver, even if it is fifty stones of rice.
Let’s take officials as the salary level at that time! In the 29th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, stipulated the salary level of officials: first-rate rank, with a monthly salary of 87 shi.
The first-class! Going further up, it is the emperor's family, with such a small salary. It is conceivable that good cultural gourds were already quite valuable in ancient times, and ordinary people could not afford to play them.
"Not to mention the more precious and unique gourd, worth more than 100 taels of silver. At that time, the first-rank official could not buy the gourd in my hands for two months' salary." Hu Guang lit his own one out.
If everyone in the live broadcast room might start talking, it might be a burst of coughing.
Damn! The first-rank official has a two-month salary, but he still can't buy the gourd in Brother Hu's hand? What kind of gourd is that? It sounds like a fucking look.
The black guy widened his eyes, and everyone finally saw a circle of white in his eyes.
There is a real treasure hidden in his gourds? Has it been picked up?
When I heard the tone of Poplar, I knew that the gourd was only the size of a finger, which was a very rare cultural gourd, which was very valuable. Although he just told some of his knowledge, in fact, he did not have a deep study of cultural gourds.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have squatted here to set up a stall and earned three or five hundred yuan a day for dinner.
Regardless of the already stunned black buddy, Hu Yang said to Luo Bufan again: "Brother Luo, your piece is not bad, just buy it for a year or two, and maybe the value will exceed 100,000."
He said that the shape of the gourd is very pleasing. In the gourd, it looks like a handsome guy. As long as it is well plated, it can be sold at a good price.
Moreover, the starting point of cultural relics gourds is relatively low and there is still a lot of room for appreciation. Maybe two or three years later, the value will soar again. Who can say it correctly?
When Luo Bufan heard this, he nodded quickly and was very happy.
Everyone can see that it was the payment paid by Luo Bufan just now, so this time, Brother Hu took special care of him. Why didn’t such a good thing fall on them? Not to mention three hundred yuan, I will pay one thousand!
The black guy is very eye-catching, as if he was shot, covering his chest. If Brother Hu is more irritating now, this guy will be about to have a heart attack.
"Brother, can you help me see if there are any more valuable ones in this group?" The black buddy saw Hu Yang and was about to take everyone away and quickly sought help.
It is rare to meet someone who is very knowledgeable and doesn’t take the opportunity to ask for advice. Are you stupid?
Since those who have been sold can no longer be collected, there is no way to get them back. However, if there are still valuable things in the market, he will keep them away by himself. How to sell them? Hu Yang said just now, and he also remembered them in his heart, knowing what to do and what to pay attention to.
I will take ten or eight out of them myself. In two or three years, I may become a millionaire.
Poplar turned his head and thought about it, it’s fine!
He looked at the stall for a while and asked, "Are they all here?"
If this is the case, I'm sorry, it's really not very valuable. It's worth 30 yuan per piece, so how much can it be sold!
The black guy turned the bag he had put on the gourds to set up the stall, shook a few times before a small gourd fell off. He picked it up and felt a little embarrassed: "There is another one."
Huyang took it, glanced at it a few times, and suggested: "Give me one thousand yuan, will I sell it?"
The black guy took it away and hid it carefully: "Brother, don't joke."
Hu Yang was just teasing him and smiled indifferently: "That one is pretty good. Although it is a little worse than mine, if you sell it now, you can offer a price of about 20,000 yuan. If you sell it well and put the patina out, 120,000 yuan is the lowest.
Just now, I said, "How about you? Do you remember?"
The black guy nodded quickly: "Remember, thank you, this big brother!"
The audience in the live broadcast room laughed. They obviously sold several gourds at a low price, but they still have to thank Brother Hu as much as they are. This scene is really funny and funny, like a comedy movie.
Cheng Jia felt that her worldview had been subverted. She only had a few dozen yuan in small gourds, and after playing with them, her value increased so much.
"Brother, have you eaten? I'll treat you later." The black guy felt that he should give back to Huyang.
As soon as he finished speaking, two sharp eyes stabbed over. The black buddy stood up and glanced at the two beautiful girls with a little bad face. I wonder how he offended these two people just now.
"Haha! No, thank you! We have already treated you." Hu Yang politely refused.
"Okay then! I'll invite you next time I have a chance."
After Hu Yang and the others walked away, someone really fell in love with his gourd, and the price was 200 yuan, and it rose to 20,000 yuan. The black buddy began to believe in Brother Hu's words and decided to keep them in their hands and play with them.
Isn’t it just to spend more time? If you can sell it at 120,000 yuan, who would want to sell it at a low price at 20,000 yuan?
Chapter completed!
