Once, when the collector Ma Weidu went to Switzerland to pick up leaks, he saw a coat in a shop that cost 100,000 euros. According to the tailor, the coat, which costs one million yuan, was made of yak hair.
After being worth more than 10 billion, Ma Weidu bought 400,000 knives and chicken bowl cups worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but he did not expect a coat that made him bite his teeth with hatred.
At that time, Ma Weidu had just finished visiting a museum in Switzerland, and at this time, a friend told him that he must buy a luxury item when coming to Switzerland, so as to highlight his identity.
Friends also stressed with Ma Weidu: "The luxury brands you have seen, as long as you know the brand, it is not a luxury product in Switzerland, that is called mass luxury, real cattle people do not buy these, they all buy luxury goods without brands." ”
Ma Weidu is also a good-looking person, and when he heard his friend's words, he was also instantly interested: "That's not okay, can you find a place for us to buy some too?"
So, the friend led him to a small curtain, the shop did not look at the inconspicuous, the friend said: don't look at the place is not good, make coats for 200 years, many people who know the quality of life come here to make clothes.
The boss saw that he was also enthusiastic about the introduction service, and when he learned that Ma Weidu also wanted to buy clothes, he happily measured the size of Ma Weidu and prepared to negotiate the price. Ma Weidu thought to himself: How expensive can such a small shop be?
Then he asked the boss, "How much does it cost to customize this coat?" ”
The boss said lightly: "This coat needs 100,000 euros, which is converted into about 1 million yuan!" ”
Ma Weidu listened, his heart trembled, he didn't expect it to be so expensive. But think about it, if you really bought this coat, it is equivalent to wearing a Mercedes-Benz on your body, is it not a wrongdoing?
Thinking of this, Ma Weidu no longer hesitated, hurriedly found an excuse, and pulled his friend away together.
Afterwards, Ma Weidu said in the program that I also love face, but I am more distressed about money, and the power of money is greater than face.
Perhaps, everyone's values are different.
Like the things, how much money are worth it, and don't like it, maybe a dollar is too expensive.
Ma Weidu loves to collect, if it is a favorite collection, it is estimated that Ma Ye did not blink an eye, and bought it.
Once upon a time, Ma Weidu went to Japan, spent 30 million yuan, and bought back a pair of rice paste, which was called Kenshan Ming. After being identified as authentic, Ma Weidu was ecstatic, because once it was identified as authentic, the value would be at least tenfold.
In fact, Ma Weidu rarely collects calligraphy and paintings, after all, the most forgeries of calligraphy and painting, the reason why he fell in love with this character is also that he is knowledgeable, and the paper used to recognize this character is produced by the famous Chengxintang in the Southern Tang Dynasty, so he did not hesitate to throw thousands of dollars.
In addition to buying at regular prices, Ma Weidu is most talked about is that he often picks up leaks, uses information differences, and buys genuine products at prices below the market price.
Once, a friend invited Ma Weidu to take a bath, and just after entering the hall, Ma Weidu saw a very old yellow rosewood bed.
Ma Weidu took a closer look, only to see the carved dragon and phoenix on the side of the bed, the texture is delicate, the workmanship is very exquisite, although the color is dull, but the carving process is lifelike.
The point is that the material of this bed is huanghuali, coupled with the age, it is worth a lot.
However, although he knew that this was a good thing, Ma Weidu did not dare to speak up at this time.
He began to calculate in his heart, how much price should be paid?
Such a good bed owner actually put it in the bathhouse, presumably he also did not know the goods.
So, he found the boss through the waiter: "I want to buy this bed, 800,000 sell or not?" ”
Ma Weidu believes that the market price should be around 1 million, but people who do this line have a leak-picking mentality, and will quote a slightly lower price at the beginning.
But after the boss listened, he laughed and told Ma Weidu that this was the real thing and he would not sell it.
Seeing that the boss was so cherished, Ma Weidu increased the price by 200,000 yuan, and he did not expect that the boss did not waver at all. Because it is rare in the market, Ma Wei felt that he would definitely appreciate in value, so he gritted his teeth and bid 1.2 million.
And the boss repeatedly stressed: "Absolutely will not shoot, I am not bad money, keep it as a treasure." ”
Seeing that the boss is not a person with bad money, he left his contact information and called him if the other party changed his mind.
Unexpectedly, two years later, the reversal came. The boss found Ma Weidu and asked him: "Do you still want this bed?" ”
Ma Weidu was surprised: "Doesn't it mean that you will not sell for life?" ”
The boss was slightly embarrassed and said: "There is something urgent at home, and I need to use the money to turn it around." ”
Ma Weidu thought about it and said, "I gave you 1.2 million before and you didn't sell me, now I can only give you 600,000, but in order to make you remember this matter, I will subtract another 10,000 and give you 590,000, if you agree, the money will arrive immediately." ”
The boss over there estimated that he was really short of money, did not pay back a penny, and said "ok!" ”
Listening to this ok, Ma Weidu was still quite unbearable in his heart.
He originally thought that the other party could beg himself and get back the face he had lost before.
The two bargained, and he could raise the price for him.
But the boss agreed without saying a word, and did not give him the slightest chance to find face.
Ma Weidu was afraid that the boss would regret it, so he immediately transferred the money.
This "leak picking" made Ma Weidu feel incredible, and when the show talked about this matter, he called out luck.
Because he could not get down the soft grinding hard bubble 1.2 million, and now he only spent 590,000 to buy it, you must know that the price of the rosewood bed is one a year, and now his price is many times higher than two years ago.
It can only be said that this boss is not a real collector, he does not understand the real price of this yellow rosewood bed, and when he is in a hurry to use the money, he will sell him cheaply.
Many people say that Ma Weidu's leak picking is somewhat unauthentic, but in my opinion, the reason why Ma Weidu can pick up leaks successfully lies more in his accurate grasp of human feelings and sophistication, so that he can always find good goods at a very low price.
The essence of doing business is to deal with people, the understanding and judgment of human nature, many times can determine the direction and success or failure of a business, everyone says is not it?
