Chapter 303: A Chance Encounter in the Antique Street
"I said Xiao Jia, you came here earlier than usual today, that's right. Take advantage of the now, hurry up and go to other stalls. Especially on the new stalls, let's see what the old stuff is. Maybe you'll find a chance to pick up the slack. As he spoke, Pony pointed to the people in the antique street and said, "That's what they all have in mind." If you don't take the opportunity, you won't have such a good opportunity. ”
"Go to a new stall?" Jia Rudao's heart moved, looking at the fact that it was already bustling with people on the antique street so early now. I couldn't help but smile, patted my head, and said to the pony, "Look at me, I forgot that there is an antique appraisal conference in Ming'er." ”
Needless to say, since there is the participation of the TV station, looking at Ji Yanran's statement, the TV station hopes that such an event can drive some ratings, plus such an activity is also being held by people on the side of the antique street, and the publicity activities in the early stage are naturally very in place.
Before the treasure appreciation activity, the antique market in the last week, whether you are in the industry or not, are ready to take this opportunity to come to the antique street to buy a good thing, and wait until tomorrow to participate in the antique treasure appreciation activity, right?
Thinking of this, Jia Rudao glanced at the pony. He asked, "Brother Pony, I don't know, do you have anything to prepare for tomorrow to participate?" If so, don't hide it, let me take a look at it first......
"Me?" Jia seems to have finished speaking. Pony smiled wryly and pointed to herself. "Don't look at me selling antiques here, but because of that, I know better what things can be eliminated at a glance at the event. Besides, if I really have something I can get my hands on, I guess I'll have already gone to a few experts to help me take a look, so why wait until this time tomorrow. ”
"That's right. Jia Rudao nodded. With the relationship between Pony and Ah San, don't say anything else. It's the things on the porcelain, and if there is really any piece that Xiaoma himself can't see accurately, he is not sure, so he has already gone to find Ah Sanshun and went to Wei Erye's side to let Old Man Wei help with his palm.
Only those who have no way to go on their own need to look for opportunities such as antique treasure appreciation.
After listening to Xiaoma's words, Jia Rudao was looking for it, and among the few customers who were originally in front of the stall, someone glanced at Jia Nidao and Xiaoma, and turned to ask the price of a piece of porcelain on the pony's stall. Xiao Ma naturally went to his business in a hurry, and left a sentence for Jia Rudao, saying: "Xiao Jia, I don't think I have much time to talk to you today, wait a while, I have time to talk about it...... By the way, there are a few vendors from other places just coming to the east side, you can go there and have a look. ”
"Alright, you're busy. Jia Rudao smiled and looked at the few people in front of the stall. In fact, at this time, even if Jia Yidao and Xiaoma are open to say the evaluation of some antiques on the stalls, these people in front of them will not believe it most of the time. Who makes the antique market rely on their own eyesight?
If you have to listen to other people's opinions when buying or selling, unless you are an acquaintance, otherwise, you will wait to be deceived by others. Even if Jia Nidao said that the person in front of him who was a little uncertain about the porcelain he was holding in his hand, the thing in his hand was a fake, and the other party would feel in his heart that this was just Jia Nidao fooling his words and deliberately hindering him from picking up the leaks.
Jia Rudao has seen a lot of such things on the side of the antique street, and there is nothing to say.
The so-called, watching chess without saying a true gentleman, in this way, in the antique line, also exists. Therefore, even at this moment, Xiaoma made it clear to Jia Yidao that he had nothing to do to participate in tomorrow's activities, and there were stalls set up by a few foreign novices on the stall on the east side of the antique street, which did not have much impact on the business in front of Xiaoma's stall.
After leaving the stall on the pony's side, Jia Rudao was not in a hurry and rushed to the east end of the antique street.
Every time he came out of the villa and came to the antique street, Jia Rudao was the first to step into the middle of the entire antique street. To the south, of course, there are most antique shops, and to the west, there are more antique stalls like ponies. There are also a lot of restaurants, teahouses, etc., or there are a few vendors in front of the door who are familiar with the boss, and pay some money and set up a stall whenever the market is in the market, which is also quite lively!
As for the east side mentioned by the pony, it is the alley that branches out from the main road of the antique market. For vendors from other places, choosing such a place to sell things is not surprising at all. In any market, there are always rules in the market.
Is a person from out of town still planning to encroach on the shops on the main road on this side of the antique street soon?
However, as Jia Yidao walked, he saw a very fresh scene.
In the crowd, a film crew was even followed. Originally, Jia Nidao didn't pay much attention to them, after all, walking on the antique street, Jia Nidao paid more attention to the antique stalls on both sides of the street. However, when I suddenly looked up, I saw a young woman interviewing one of them with a microphone, an elderly Tibetan friend who had just completed the transaction, and in the hand of the Tibetan friend, there was also a scroll of works. Jia Rudao guessed that it was not calligraphy, but a painting!
Looking at their questioning and answering behavior, it is almost exactly the same as what they usually see on the TV news, Jia Rudao has never seen a pig run, and he is also a person who has eaten pork, so he naturally understands what is born in front of him.
In addition, on the side of these two people, there are also a lot of onlookers, crowded and watching. It seems that these people are full of interest in being interviewed and being on TV because of it. And then looked at the female reporter who had finished interviewing, and then turned around, and said something to the camera very energetically, and turned around. began to look for the object of his interview in the crowd of onlookers, the corners of Jia Rudao's mouth couldn't help but smile slightly, turned around and walked over to the side.
It's not that Jia Yidao doesn't have the slightest excitement about the opportunity to be on TV.
If Ji Yanran hadn't invited Jia Nidao to participate in the treasure appreciation activity tomorrow, Jia Nidao would have squeezed over to see the excitement at this time. However, knowing that he would be on TV as an expert tomorrow, Jia Rudao did not have so much enthusiasm for the street interview that had not yet been skimmed by the eight characters.
Of course, Jia Nidao thinks so, but the development of things does not seem to be going according to Jia Nidao's thoughts.
Just as Jia Rudao walked from the periphery of the crowd of onlookers to the south of the antique street, and then, ready to turn back to the alley to the east. Suddenly, there were a few shouts from the periphery of the crowd! Jia Yidao turned his head in surprise and took a look, but it turned out that someone was too busy because the crowd was too lively, and he was not very tall, so he stepped on his feet, stumbled, and accidentally stepped on the things on a stall on the side.
At this time, the stall owner was pulling the cuffs of the perpetrator, and he didn't give up, and he wanted everyone to talk about it.
So, it was originally the onlookers who watched the interview. At this moment, he quickly turned his direction and began to look at the stall where something had happened. For a while, even the reporters who were interviewing there quickly seized the new opportunity and immediately ended the interview there. Then, with difficulty, crowd into the crowd.
Obviously, in Jia Yidao's view, the identity of the other party's woman and the identity of the reporter still have great preferential treatment. Holding the microphone in her hand and pulling a camera staff behind her, the female reporter arrived in front of the customer who had the accident in a relatively smooth manner, and quickly entered the working state!
And after everyone saw that the reporters were also involved, the number of onlookers increased instead of decreasing. Many people, whether they have seen the whole process of the accident in advance or not, explain their views on such a thing!
That scene is really hilarious!
However, Jia Rudao on the side, after listening to a few words briefly, his brows were furrowed! Looking at the people around him, there were no familiar people, and the worry in his heart was even more. I couldn't help but wonder if I should help when I encountered such a thing? Otherwise, I really don't know what the final result would be.
Indeed, there is no shortage of news on this side of the antique street!
Whether it is "touching porcelain" or some other "cheating" means, they are endless. A while ago, the owner of the shop that Jia Rudao took over, was "kicked out" of the circle of the antique street near the sea just because he sold an old thing.
Moreover, for the antique line, even if the reporter comes and the matter is exposed, there is nothing to worry about.
The old things on the antique stalls are different in nature from the incidents of selling fake cigarettes and medicines. A lot of old antiques, because of their age, themselves have a high collection value. Moreover, the same antique, you must think that it is only worth 100,000, perhaps, others think it is worth 200,000. Among them, including the value of the antique itself, and the value of commemoration, or some other reasons, it is almost impossible to handle.
You don't always think that two bowls are exactly the same during the Republic of China, one is your ancestral heirloom, and the other is bought back from the antique market, and the two things are of the same value to you, right?
Even if you put something up for auction, different times, different occasions, different auctions, different collectors, the final auction result is different! So, even if the same thing just sold for a million yesterday, you can't say that the thing is worth a million.
It can only be said that such a "one million" price is a reference price in the market!
Therefore, once there is an antique street here, the incident of destroying the traded goods in the transaction is the most troublesome. It is difficult for both parties to sit down calmly and come up with a reasonable price.
What makes Jia Yidao feel even more helpless is that there are too many "cheating" things on the antique street, and the market is not standardized, resulting in many people in the crowd of onlookers, many people have suffered big losses and small losses in the antique industry, especially one of them is a middle-aged man who looks a little chubby, because he has the experience of being "touched porcelain". In his eyes, the owner of this stall is simply a heinous person!
Among the onlookers on the side, there were originally people who were suspicious in the direction of "touching porcelain", and after hearing the words, they also responded one after another. The scene was almost one-sided. And the reporter with the microphone doesn't know who to listen to at this time.
However, the stall vendor was very calm at this time, and said to everyone: "My Lao Liu's name is also well-known in the area of Antique Street. I don't dare to say that the things in my stall are all open-ended, and I will never touch the 'porcelain' thing. Today, it is a fact that this gentleman accidentally stepped on my things. No matter where I go, I won't bow my head!"
Saying that, at this time, Lao Liu still has a great posture to find a place with the customers in front of him and explain the reason. It's just that the person at the scene is full of mouths, and everyone has expressed their opinions, not only Lao Liu, but also this unlucky customer, who also said his own opinions to everyone at this time.
He also admitted that he had stepped on something, but he didn't dare to agree with the price of seventy or eighty thousand yuan that Lao Liu said. That's right, if you have nothing to do, you will have to accompany seventy or eighty thousand for nothing, and no one will be happy with this matter.
For this reason, Jia Rudao was about to walk over and explain it. The police patrolling the antique street rushed over. If it were usual, these police officers would be more efficient. However, there are really a lot of people today, and there are some delays on the way here, so there is nothing to say.
Fortunately, after the police came, whether it was the reporter, the stall vendor and the hapless customer, they all left the antique street. And those onlookers, who want to wait for the results in the past, there are many people. More. But they scattered on the spot one after another, and continued to pick up antiques on this side of the antique street.
Jia Rudao hesitated again and again, but still told Uncle Zhou Fugui about the matter here, and also focused on the broken porcelain, and had a certain description. Judging from Jia Yidao's eyesight, that thing is really an old thing, at least it belongs to the late Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China. As for the value, whether there are seventy or eighty thousand, but it is not the current Jia Nidao, who can tell it at a glance.
Uncle Zhou Fugui answered on the phone, "Got it." Jia Rudao hung up the phone. Looking at the streets of the antique street again, there is no longer the kind of scene of gathering around and watching the lively scene, and there are only groups of people in groups of three or five, gathered in front of each antique stall, looking here and there.
Jia Rudao subconsciously shook his head and walked towards the alley to the east. It's just that before he took two steps, he felt that someone pulled his hand, Jia Rudao couldn't help but turn his head and look, it was a little older student, looking at it, it should be either a junior high school student or a high school student. However, at first glance, the look on the other party's face gives people a feeling of immaturity!
"This classmate, do you have something?" Jia asked curiously.
"Big brother, you said, what happened just now. Is it 'touching porcelain'?" the other party asked, while looking at Jia Nidao expectantly, which made Jia Nidao feel a little weird. Some people don't quite understand the student in front of them, why they just pulled themselves to ask?
Xu was aware of the confusion on Jia Rudao's face. The other party quickly explained and said: "This big brother, last time, I broke a boss's jade bead bracelet on this side of the antique street, and he blackmailed me to pay 5,000 yuan. In the end, it was you who helped me out of the siege, and I only paid 500 yuan. ”
"Oh, I remembered. When the other party said this, Jia Rudao still had a little impression. Immediately, the more he looked at the student in front of him, the more profound the thin memory gradually became deeper, and as for why the other party would ask him at this time, Jia Rudao also understood, and couldn't help but say, "Hehe, this time is not the same as what you encountered last time." The last time you met, the boss, was completely trying to fool people by passing off very bad things as expensive things, and he was also doing tricks and tricks on things! As for the porcelain that was trampled on just now, I didn't see what the process was like when it happened. However, that piece of porcelain is still worth a lot of money. ”
"Is that porcelain a real antique?" the other party was obviously a little surprised when he heard this explanation.
"I guess so. Jia Rudao hesitated for a moment and said, "At least, with my eyesight, it's a real thing." ”
"So, big brother, you didn't go out to help them solve their troubles just now, right?" These students in front of them obviously regarded Jia Rudao as the kind of living Lei Feng who was happy to help others. After Jia Rudao heard this, he smiled bitterly, and he didn't know how to answer.
However, thinking of the person in front of me, after suffering a loss, he can come to the antique street again. Come to think of it, I really like the antique line.
