Chapter 279 Encountering Mr. Niu by chance, following the trend
But if school really starts, my cousin will have to go back to Lijiacun. There is no way, her household registration is not here.
Of course, it mainly depends on herself. It is not impossible if she wants to stay in the city to go to school.
At least it is not difficult for Li Jiayi.
There was no way before, but it is different now. Now that the eldest cousin is working in the city, the cousin can stay in the name of visiting relatives.
As for why you didn't stay in the name of visiting relatives before, that's not allowed.
You can only seek relatives, parents, brothers and sisters, not even uncles like Li Aimin, let alone cousins like Li Jiayi.
After breakfast, Li Jiayi and his eldest sister went to school.
Three days have passed in the blink of an eye, and today is just in time for Sunday.
There was nothing going on today, so Li Jiayi drove a tricycle around on the street.
Of course, it's not all a fool's errand, it's mainly because he has some money and he wants to spend it.
He came out to wander around to see which trust store had good stuff. Today he did not go to the Qianmen main store.
Because he just came here last week, and he has already bought the good things.
Unknowingly, Li Jiayi came to Zhengyangmen. There is also a trust store here, and he bought a lot of good things here before.
No, he wandered here again today, and he planned to come in and take a look.
After parking the tricycle outside and locking it, Li Jia came to the store and met an old man as soon as he entered.
Li Jiayi didn’t care and went straight to the antique shelves. Li Jiayi is young! Go faster.
I just didn't expect that when he arrived here, before he had time to say hello to the salesperson, the old man also came to the counter.
Seeing the old man, the salesperson immediately put Li Jiayi aside, walked up to the old man and shouted: "Master Niu, what kind of wind has brought you here?"
"Niu Master?" Li Jia was stunned for a moment.
I thought: Is it that Mr. Niu? It should be! Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a big audience!
"What kind of wind could it be? It's just a hungry wind."
"Uh!" The salesperson didn't know how to answer this.
"Call the shopkeeper over, I have something for him to see." said the old man known as Mr. Niu.
"Okay Mr. Niu, please wait a moment." The salesperson agreed and turned around to call someone.
"I'm sorry! The salesperson is ignorant and left you alone." Mr. Niu turned around and said to Li Jiayi.
"It's okay. Besides, this has nothing to do with you." Li Jiayi said indifferently.
But it can also be seen from here that this Mr. Niu is a very particular person.
Although this incident had nothing to do with him and was entirely the salesperson's personal behavior, he still apologized.
Master Niu shook his head and said: "People are like this nowadays, they follow the trend. I have seen it a lot."
"You're right, I've seen a lot of them." Li Jiayi nodded in agreement.
But he is not lying, he has really seen a lot.
At the beginning, people looked at him because he was young and ignored him at all. They just went to receive others.
After he had made many purchases, he realized that he was a wealthy customer, and the sales assistants all respected him as a father-in-law.
In some trust stores, as long as he comes in, they basically don’t accept others and just wait for him to pass.
So in this regard, Li Jiayi may have seen more than Mr. Niu.
Soon the shopkeeper came over, but after this shopkeeper came, he did not go to Mr. Niu first, but came to Li Jiayi first.
"Master Li, when did you come here?"
The shopkeeper knew Li Jiayi, and he was very familiar with him.
Let’s put it this way! Ninety percent of the good things he has here are bought by Li Jiayi.
Therefore, Li Jiayi is no longer an unknown person. When he goes to any trust store, whether he is the shopkeeper or the manager, he is respectfully addressed as Master Li.
"I've just arrived, so you'd better take a look at Mr. Niu's goods first! We'll talk about it later."
"Okay Mr. Li, the clerk doesn't know you, so he can't serve you. "Please forgive me, Zhou. I'll be here right away."
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry," Li Jiayi said nonchalantly.
He has seen so many shop assistants like this that he is no longer surprised.
"The shopkeeper!"
"Master Niu, your orders."
"This..." Master Niu looked at Li Jiayi.
"Oh, you are talking about Mr. Li! Let's put it this way, Mr. Niu, those things you sent over were basically bought by Mr. Li."
"Ah! It's true! ?”
"Of course!"
In the imperial capital, the title "Master" has nothing to do with your age. The main thing is that you have this reputation, and Li Jiayi definitely has it.
"In fact, not only the things you sent over, but also 90% of the good things we collected were bought by Mr. Li."
Hearing what the shopkeeper said Saying this, Mr. Niu was shocked. Although he sent a lot of things here, compared with what the shopkeeper's trust store collected, they were simply ignored.
"It turns out it was Mr. Li who was disrespectful and disrespectful." Mr. Niu hugged Li Jiayi and said.
"Master Niu, you're welcome." Li Jiayi also said with his fists clasped.
After seeing the two people saying hello, the shopkeeper said: "Master Niu, take out the things!"
"Yes!"
Then Master Niu took it from his arms Take out a newspaper bag and put it in front of the shopkeeper.
As for the salesman next to him, he was dumbfounded at this time. He did not expect that Li Jiayi had such a big background, and seemed to be more famous than Mr. Niu. Fortunately, neither of them mentioned him, otherwise he would probably have been punished, most likely being transferred to the maintenance department at the back.
The shopkeeper opened the newspaper bag that Mr. Niu had taken out, revealing a pair of small bottles.
Yes, they are a pair of small bottles. The reason why I say small is that not only are the mouths of these bottles small, but the belly of the bottle is also not big.
The diameter of the bottle is about the same as an Arctic soda bottle, and it is not as tall as an Arctic soda bottle.
But Li Jiayi knew that this was definitely a good pair.
Didn’t the shopkeeper say it before? This Mr. Niu often delivers things here.
For people like Mr. Niu, when selling things, they must first sell the bad ones, and then they will sell better and better things.
"Master Niu, are you sure you want to sell these bottles?" the shopkeeper asked after reading them with a magnifying glass.
Hearing the shopkeeper's question, Mr. Niu smiled bitterly and said, "Sell, definitely sell."
"Okay! I'll take it in to estimate the price and let you know later."
"Yeah!" Mr. Niu nodded.
Don’t think that when you come here to buy something, the shopkeeper’s price is enough. That’s not the case at all.
Every trust store has an appraisal room with several appraisers inside.
Not only do they identify the items, they also give a reasonable result.
"Master Li, I was disrespectful just now."
"No, no, Master Niu is in trouble?"
"Oh, it's not just the food shortage. The whole family is waiting to eat, why am I still guarding this thing!"
"That's it."
Li Jiayi saw this kind of thing many times. There were not only three hundred but also two hundred people who exchanged grain from Li Jiayi.
Like Mr. Niu, they all used their family wealth to exchange. They started with large and small yellow croakers, and after the large and small yellow croakers were exchanged, they started to exchange antiques.
"At this time, you can still spend so much money to buy these things. Master Li is doing something big!"
"No, it's just a small fuss." Li Jiayi said modestly.
No matter what he said, Master Niu also heard the same thing. He didn't believe that Li Jiayi was really making a fuss.
In such a long time, it is impossible to buy more than 90% of the good things in the trust store without a hundred and eighty thousand yuan.
Even more may be needed.
The identification will take a while, but Li Jiayi is not in a hurry, because if the bottles are identified as good, they will most likely be in his hands.
He has nothing to do anyway, so he can just wait here.
It just so happened that he could take advantage of this time to look at other antiques.
When buying antiques in a trust store, Li Jiayi believed in nothing else but the price.
If the price is high, it must be a good thing. As for the low price, you don’t need to think about it at all. They are just ordinary antiques.
You must know that not all antiques are valuable. For the same antiques from the Qianlong period, some are worth hundreds of dollars, and some may not be worth even one dollar.
Antiques not only depend on their age, but also their provenance. Can official kilns be the same as private kilns? Definitely not!
Even if it is from an official kiln, there is a big difference. Li Jiayi doesn’t understand this thing, but the appraiser does!
And these things do not go through the hands of just one appraiser, but the hands of all the appraisers in the price trust store, and the price can finally be determined.
About ten minutes, the shopkeeper came back with the bottle, walked up to Master Niu and said, "The price is 600, you see..."
"Okay, sold."
"Okay, I'll invoice you right now, and then you go get the money."
"Yes!" Mr. Niu nodded.
Haokan, the shopkeeper, opened the order and handed it to Mr. Niu.
Master Niu took the order and looked at it. He nodded to the shopkeeper first, and then said to Li Jiayi: "Master Li, please do your business first. I'll go get the money."
"Okay."
After Mr. Niu left, Li Jia asked the shopkeeper: "This Mr. Niu often comes to sell things?"
"There is no way, his family's population is There are many, and they don’t have jobs, so they can only sit and eat.”
“That’s it.” Li Jia nodded.
"Master Li, what are you going to buy today?"
"Wrap everything worth more than two hundred yuan for me."
"Okay Master Li, then these pairs of bottles..."
"Wrap them together too!"
"Okay, if you charge 600 for this bottle, you have to pay 660 according to 10%. I make the decision, and you pay 650."
"Okay."< br>
If you get it here for consignment, the trust store will charge a consignment fee of 3% to 10%. If you sell it after collecting it, it will be different.
This price is set by the trust store itself. At least the price will be increased by more than 10%, and some may even increase the price by 20 to 30%.
This is entirely up to the trust store to set its own price. Of course, this is about antiques.
Other prices are not so high, such as second-hand bicycles, sewing machines, watches and radios.
If these things are sold on consignment, the handling fee will be at most 3% to 5%. After collecting it and then selling it, the maximum markup will not exceed 10%.
