Meng Zitao sighed, since he didn't have anything to gain, he was going to visit his father in the hospital. Wanting to think about his future, he didn't go back from the road he came from, but prepared to go around the alleyway on the right and go back to get his bike.

Although he didn't pick up any leaks today, Meng Zitao still found some opportunities that could make him buy low and sell high with the help of his ability, but because he had too little money now, he didn't buy it.

If he has a lot of money, he can buy things and resell them to others, become a second-hand dealer, and of course it is better to open an antique shop, so as to maximize the profits.

"It seems that we should open an antique shop, but it is not easy to open an antique shop. Meng Zitao thought with a frown.

The antiques market is a very exclusive market, and it usually takes a long time to enter the industry, and it needs to be recognized by everyone. Once the other party knows that you don't know the goods, they will either treat you as a mallet, or they won't have to do business.

Therefore, this antique shop is not something that can be opened casually, and if you want to open an antique shop, you must also be recognized by people in the industry. Only when the circle is recognized, everyone will accept you, and then the next time there is business, it is possible to think of you.

After all, the most important reason why antiques are expensive is scarcity, no matter how big the antique shop is, it is impossible to cover everything, there is everything.

In this way, there will be a possibility for friends to recommend things to each other. For example, shopkeeper A has a guest who needs a pastel nine-peach celestial ball bottle from the Qing Dynasty, he doesn't have it, but shopkeeper B has, they are friends, then shopkeeper A will recommend this guest to go to shopkeeper B.

In addition, if shopkeeper B encounters a good product, but shopkeeper B is not interested, or has not enough money in hand, and it happens that shopkeeper A collects this category, shopkeeper B will notify shopkeeper A of the news.

From these two examples, you can see how important the circle of antiques is to make connections.

Of course, if you want to say that I am going to open an antique shop, is it possible that this society can still let people open shops?

Of course, that's no problem, but there are a lot of dirty antiques in the industry, in case you have a conflict with other stores or customers, and you don't get everyone's approval, even if the other party loses, how many people in the industry will come to help you speak?

It is precisely this reason that before Meng Zitao opens a store, he must integrate into this industry, otherwise, Xue Wenguang, who has a small belly and chicken intestines, will come to trouble him, and who will he, an ordinary person, find to help him judge?

After thinking for a while, Meng Zitao made up his mind, during this time, he wanted to accumulate more contacts and prepare for opening an antique shop in the future.

However, the most important task now is to make money by picking up the leaks and solving the father's treatment expenses first. Besides, to open an antique shop, it will cost hundreds of thousands, and if the store is larger, plus decoration, supply and so on, it will be at least a million.

These millions are certainly nothing to some rich people, but Meng Zitao's family can't even take out 100,000 yuan, and millions of funds are completely astronomical for him.

"Forget it, take your time, even if you have the ability, you can't eat a fat person in one bite. ”

"Brother, do you want anything?"

Just as Meng Zitao was thinking of this, a middle-aged man came out of the alley next to him and blocked him.

Meng Zitao was taken aback by him, coupled with the mixed antique industry, and he still had nearly two thousand yuan on him, he was really afraid that the other party would plot against him, so he hurriedly took a few steps back.

Meng Zitao looked intently and found that this person looked obscene, with yellow teeth, was not very well dressed, and was carrying a snakeskin bag in his hand, his eyes kept flashing, and he knew at a glance that he was not a serious businessman, either shoveling the ground or planting landmines.

Before Meng Zitao could react, the other party took out a blue and white bowl from the snakeskin bag, handed it to Meng Zitao, and said with a smile: "Brother, how about looking at this thing?"

Meng Zitao didn't study porcelain deeply, but he still knew at a glance that the blue and white bowl in front of him should be a genuine product, but the real thing is genuine, but the corresponding age should be in the Qing Dynasty, and it was produced in a private kiln, and this kind of thing is not worth much money at all.

"No need!" Meng Zitao shook his head, the vigilance in his heart did not relax at all, there are too many pits in this antique market, and if one accidentally falls into it, he can only break the fortune and eliminate the disaster.

Seeing that Meng Zitao turned around to leave, the middle-aged man hurriedly stopped him again and said, "Brother, since you don't like this blue and white bowl, I'll get you another treasure, this is a real treasure." ”

As he spoke, he put the blue and white bowl in his pocket, took a pen holder from it and handed it over.

Meng Zitao then looked at it, and suddenly his eyes lit up, only to see that the cylinder was cylindrical, flat mouth, square edge, the whole device light element, up and down the line, the mouth along the line round and the bottom slightly undulating, the surface texture of the instrument is unique, the light element is not working, and the unique natural texture wins, simple and elegant.

Moreover, if Meng Zitao is not mistaken, the material used in this pen holder should be Huanghuali.

Seeing that Meng Zitao was interested in the things in his hand, the middle-aged man's eyes showed joy, and he said: "Brother, what do you think of this thing, if you like it, let's discuss the price." ”

Then, he handed it over: "Do you want to do it?"

Meng Zitao really wanted to get started and take a look, but he was a little worried about what tricks the other party was playing, and he hesitated a little in his heart.

He said lightly: "This boss, are you a little unruly like this?"

The middle-aged man was slightly stunned, and immediately reacted, and laughed dryly: "Hehe, brother, I'm really sorry, I forgot the rules in a hurry just now." ”

As he spoke, he put the pen holder on the stone steps next to him and asked Meng Zitao to observe.

In the antique industry, the buyer and seller of the expert will not hand over the easily damaged porcelain, jade, glassware, jewelry and other antiques, but wait for the other party to place the item on the fixed object before taking it for viewing, in case the item is damaged and the responsibility is self-evident.

Moreover, different utensils have different ways to hold them, if they find that the other party's method of getting started is not in accordance with the rules, they will be regarded as laymen, and stricter connoisseurs will not take out other antiques for their appreciation, nor will they communicate or trade.

Meng Zitao stepped forward, took the thing in his hand and observed it carefully, and was a little disappointed in his heart, because there were some flaws at the bottom of this pen holder, which made the quality look worse, and the value must be discounted. Eventually, he used his ability and found out that it was indeed an early green yellow pear pen holder.

Meng Zitao put the pen holder back, thought about it, and felt that if it was cheap, it would be good to take down this pen holder, so he asked, "Boss, I don't know how much this pen holder is?"

The middle-aged man grinned, stretched out his hand and gestured: "At first glance, my brother is a clear-eyed person, I am usually reluctant to take out such a good thing, since we are destined, I will give you a discount, even if it is five thousand?"

Meng Zitao sneered in his heart, and said lightly: "Since you are so insincere, boss, then forget it." ”

Even if this tube is in perfect condition, the market price will not exceed two thousand, let alone have a flaw at the bottom. Not to mention five thousand, he is too expensive to sell for five hundred.

Seeing that Meng Zitao was about to leave, the middle-aged man hurriedly said: "Hey, brother, don't be in a hurry to leave, how much do you want, if it is suitable, it is not negotiable." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "You agree that I will pay two hundred?"

The middle-aged man laughed dryly: "Two hundred is too little, my purchase price is more than this, if you sincerely want it, how about one thousand eight?"

"It's strange to believe you!" Meng Zitao sneered in his heart, and said: "I'm really sorry, I definitely can't do anything about this price!"

After saying that, he was ready to leave, he didn't have much interest in this thing after seeing it, if he bought it for two or three hundred, it would not be necessary, and at this price, he was not a mallet.

However, the middle-aged man was full of energy, and when he saw that Meng Zitao was leaving, he came up again: "Brother, since you still think it's expensive, then I'll give you another jumping price, just 1,000!"

Of course, Meng Zitao was not interested, and insisted on leaving, but saw the middle-aged man take out another thing from his pocket:

"Eight hundred, how about adding this thing?"

Meng Zitao casually prepared to refuse, but when he saw the things in the middle-aged man's hand, he was stunned.

I saw that the thing was a little gray and looked dirty, but I could still see that the whole body was covered with white glaze, only the feet were unglazed and exposed, and the mouth was trumpet-shaped, more like a bowl on its back. The neck is adducted, the abdomen is gourd-shaped, flat-bottomed, and the foot is shallow circled. This is clearly a white porcelain slag bucket.

It is likely that some friends will find it unfamiliar to say that the slag bucket is different, but if you change the modern name to the spittoon, it must be a household name.

The spittoon is slangy, a bit barbaric, and its effect, so hearing these two words, some people may feel sick in their hearts.

However, in ancient times, there were many civilizations, that is, the name of the scum bucket, also known as the bucket, the spit pot, and the role is also used to hold food residues and other things, and the small ones are also used to hold tea residues, so some are also listed in the tea set. The Yuan people's pen recorded that "the Song Ji clan set up a seat, and the tendon bottle and slag bucket must be used between several cases", which refers to this thing.

The slag bucket began to be used in the Jin Dynasty, the porcelain is more common, and then has been used, there are many kinds in the Ming and Qing dynasties, blue and white, five-colored, monochrome glaze and other color glazes and painted decorations. These Mencius Tao are also often encountered, but white porcelain slag buckets like this are relatively rare for him.

When the middle-aged man saw Meng Zitao staring at the thing in his hand, he smiled and said, "Why don't you take a look?"

Meng Zitao nodded, and then started to observe, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this thing was a little extraordinary, and finally couldn't help but use his ability, but it almost made him scream.
