The stall owner nicknamed Grasshopper saw Zheng Zheng asking, thought about it, and asked with some hesitation: "......What do you mean by this?"

After all, he made a living by robbing tombs, and most of the things sold in the stalls were not clean. Although it is said that the people who can come to the black market have little to do with the official face, Zheng Zheng's question still touched his sensitive nerves, making him a little confused about what the young man in front of him is.

"Let's be honest,"

Zheng Zhen glanced at Bai Peng, who was looking at the jade wrench on the side, and then smiled at the stall owner: "I run an antique shop, although your things here are all genuine, but this source is a bit problematic, so I want to ask, do you have anything clean here." ”

The antiques market is one of the most chaotic, with countless fakes and a certain amount of stolen goods. These stolen goods are all from the hands of tomb robbers into the antique market, and then after several transactions and continuous whitewashing, and finally transformed into a master and a pedigree to understand the way forward.

However, this kind of antiques that need to be bothered to launder are basically very valuable antiques, and no one bothers to launder antiques worth about three or five million. As for those with a value of less than one million, it is even more casual, and merchants dare to accept some black goods that are not particularly valuable to sell.

The reason for this situation is that there is no market regulation in the antiques market. This antique is different from everything else, it can be clearly written from that place of origin, the production date is a certain year, a certain month, a certain day, as long as it can be rounded, a sentence of "ancestral handdown" is enough to block many people's doubts.

Because of this, many antique shops that do legitimate business do not mind buying some stolen goods from unknown sources at low prices.

When Zheng Zheng was in the Western Capital City before, there were many merchants in the antique street who secretly had connections with tomb robbers and other figures, and they could get many good things at low prices. But Zheng Zheng never did this, firstly because he did not know such characters as tomb robbers and did not have this channel; secondly, because the Donglai Pavilion was not set up for profit at the beginning, but was just a product of Wang Qian's vassal elegance, and Zheng Zheng did not have to worry too much; thirdly, and most importantly, Zheng Zheng had always been cautious and unwilling to take risks.

Although many stores sell stolen and black goods, and no one has ever had a problem, Zheng Zheng has never reached out to this aspect.

However, time has changed, at this time and at that time, Zheng Zheng has just gained a foothold in Huayin City, and there is no stable source of goods, so his mind hit the sellers on the black market. However, Zheng Zheng also has his own considerations, and it is always a bit too radical to reach out to black goods now, so it is better to get some regular things from the hands of people who deal with antiques every day. As for the black goods, it's not too late to think about it when you have a firm foothold in Huayin City.

On Gu Xuan is now Zheng Zheng's life after all, it is very different from when Zheng Zheng was the head of Donglai Pavilion before, and there are some things that he couldn't do in Donglai Pavilion before, but now he has to think about it.

"It's really a coincidence, this time I came to catch the black market, I brought all the things that were taken out of the soil, and there were other things that were collected by the right way, but I am not with me now. ”

The grasshopper said as if Zheng Zheng was considerate: "But ah, the things I came from the right way are all snuff bottles, small jade pendants and other gadgets, although they are genuine, but they can't be sold for any price." If you're looking for a town store, you'll have to get a real thing or two. What do you say?"

Grasshopper's words were expected to Zheng Zheng to buy the stolen goods from his stall, but he didn't know that his words were in Zheng Zheng's arms: "What I lack in my store is these miscellaneous gadgets that are not too valuable, but I don't lack things to support the scene." See if you leave me a contact information or something, and I'll contact you when the black market is over, and then you can bring some miscellaneous gadgets and I'll give you a good price. ”

"It's a good feeling, hmm......" Grasshopper thought for a while, reported a mobile phone number, and then said: "You remember this mobile phone number first, and call this number when you have any needs when you come back, and I will ask others to bring those things to you." It's also a matter of caution, don't mind. ”

The two talked for only five or six minutes, and it was really difficult to convince Grasshopper of Zheng Zheng, so even if Zheng Zheng wanted to cooperate with Grasshopper for the next step, Grasshopper still remained cautious. Zheng Zheng also knows that people in the industry like grasshoppers who belong to the "death of the light" will not easily trust others, so they don't mind.

"Little Brother Zheng really can't forget to do business at any time......"

Bai Peng, who was pondering the jade wrench on the side, saw that the two actually talked about cooperation, and Zheng Zheng completely forgot that there was also a jade wrench here, which made Bai Peng feel a sense of loss that his plan had failed. He smiled and said a word to Zheng Zheng, then handed the jade wrench in his hand to Zheng Zheng, and said with a smile: "Doesn't Brother Zheng want to buy this jade wrench?"

"Huh this?"

Zheng Zheng glanced at Bai Peng with a smile, but did not take the jade wrench in his hand. He shook his head slightly and said, "I'm not very interested in this kind of thing, and I won't buy it if it wasn't necessary for business." I'm still young now, it's not as good as Brother Bai, you have the kind of bearing that has been precipitated by age, and wearing a jade wrench looks nondescript. But I think this jade wrench is very suitable for you, Brother Bai, so why don't you buy it. ”

Zheng Zheng's words are true, his current age is indeed not suitable for wearing a jade wrench, so it is understandable that he will not buy this jade wrench. But more importantly, Bai Peng's move looked a little too strange, although Zheng Zheng couldn't figure out what Bai Peng's mind was for a while, but he simply didn't speculate about his thoughts, nor did he mix with his suggestions.

"Haha, haha. ”

Bai Peng cursed a few words in his heart, he laughed dryly, and said while putting the wrench in his hand back on the stall: "I am also very interested in this kind of jade wrench, but I have already collected a lot of it at home, and there is no need to buy it back." Ha ha. ”

Bai Peng said this, but Zheng Zheng would not believe him easily. He glanced at Bai Peng twice, and secretly thought in his heart: "This jade wrench finger is absolutely genuine, and it was taken out of the ancient tomb, and the identity of its original owner should not be bad." This kind of good thing is not something that can be collected casually, it can be said that after this village, there will be no store, is it really that you have collected a lot at home, and you feel that there is no need to collect another one?"

"Not like, not like. ”

Thinking of this, Zheng Zheng looked at Bai Peng's expression again, he was explaining some common sense about jade to Sun Sheng at this time, but his eyes drifted to the stall from time to time, although he tried his best to hide it, Zheng Zheng could still see that he was a little reluctant to give up on this jade wrench.

"It seems that this old boy has a lot of ideas about this jade wrench...... But even so, he wanted me to open my mouth to buy this jade wrench first, hehe, if this old boy doesn't have any eyes in his heart, I will follow his surname. ”

Zheng Zheng's mind was lively, and after thinking about this, he deduced from this point, and he had more thoughts in his heart: "If he wants to beat me in terms of antique appraisal ability, then he shouldn't take such an attitude, I thought he was going to start competing with me when I asked him to identify the jade wrench, but this old boy didn't show too much hostility, even if he didn't even ...... sarcasm."

"Could it be ......" Zheng Zheng suddenly remembered a possibility, although this possibility seemed extremely small to him, but in the current state, it could make sense: "Could it be that the hemp rod beats the wolf, and the two ends are afraid?"

Zheng Zheng was afraid that Bai Peng was a senior in the antique shop, so although he also wanted to compete with Bai Peng, he also knew that now was not the right time. After all, the victory or defeat between Zheng Zheng and Bai Peng is not only a problem between the two, but also related to the battle between Wang Di and Sun Sheng. Zheng Zheng finally won a game from Sun Sheng, so he naturally wanted to maintain this advantage until the end.

Therefore, the decision he and Zheng Zheng made was that when they were walking with Bai Peng and Sun Sheng, unless they had antiques that they could completely see, Zheng Zheng would never identify them, so as not to be secretly cheated by Bai Peng.

I dared to identify the jade wrench before, but it was also because Zheng Zheng saw the jade wrench accurately, and he was not afraid of any big mistakes. He also wanted to use this opportunity to probe Bai Peng's mind and see if he would spare no effort to hit himself as he thought.

But the facts are quite different from what Zheng Zheng thought, Bai Peng did not hit Zheng Zheng, but wanted to persuade Zheng Zheng to buy the wrench. The jade wrench is genuine, Zheng Zheng can be sure of this, even if he buys it, he will not lose money, Bai Peng can't pit himself at this point.

Since this is the case, Bai Peng still makes such a gesture, and the meaning of this is very interesting.

"That's right, Bai Peng, this old boy wants to play 'thimble' with me......"

Thinking of this, Zheng Zheng suddenly understood, and the method that Bai Peng wanted to attack himself was also clear: once he opened his mouth and wanted to buy the jade wrench, Sun Sheng on the side would inevitably increase the price to provoke, and then stimulate Zheng Zheng or Wang Di to continue to increase the price because of this battle of will. Subsequently, Sun Sheng would stop at a price far more than the value of this jade wrench, and immediately give up after Wang Di or Zheng Zheng increased the price, let the two of them buy it, and suffered this dumb loss.

This so-called "thimble" is mostly to get the other party to take the bait through provocation, and then give up one step ahead of the other party after a series of price increases, putting the other party on the "tip of the needle", and making the other party suffer this dumb loss. However, there are still risks in the specific operation of this method, and the most important point is to grasp the opportunity to give up, not only to let the other party pay a price higher than the item itself, but also to make the other party not give up before themselves.

It can be said that if you use this method to set up a trap on the other party, you must have enough self-confidence, be able to grasp the psychological activities of the other party, and the ability to observe words and emotions is slightly worse.

But Bai Peng's use of this trick against Zheng Zheng also proves from the side that he did not have the confidence to defeat Zheng Zheng in antique identification.

Zheng Zheng looked at Bai Peng and smiled silently.
