Chapter 088: First Hearing of the Black Market
Yufei's enthusiasm for Shanghai, to be precise, is that his enthusiasm for collecting is what Jia Rudao expected. /
Just when Jia Yidao was sleeping a little dazed, the ringtone of the mobile phone rang melodiously, and he subconsciously answered it. As a result, Liu Yufei rushed from Yangzhou to Shanghai overnight, and was asking where Jia Yidao lived.
Angrily reported the name of the hotel, Jia Rudao smiled a little. It seems that compared with Liu Yufei's hobby of collecting, his enthusiasm for collecting is obviously not positive enough. On the contrary, there is even a mentality of being at ease. The only time he took the initiative to acquire, if it weren't for his vested interests, Jia Rudao wouldn't have looked for Mrs. Hong again, right?
However, Jia Rudao naturally thought in his heart, if someone asked him to see the jade wool at night, would he also rush to see the goods in the middle of the night? Now I can sleep peacefully, but I feel a little idle.
Liu Yufei's arrival made the hotel room a little lively. first took out the jade pendant that he forgot to show off in his mouth, which was really similar to the jasper Guanyin that Jia Nidao wore around his neck. The size is similar, the material of jasper, and the color is more bright than that of Jia Nidao. It is obviously the result of being worn all year round.
"It's a nice thing. Jia Rudao played with it for a while and praised it. There are very few dark spots in it, and in terms of value, it should be slightly higher than Jia Yidao's own.
"Needless to say. I don't want to know who took it. Liu Yufei said, his expression was still a little proud, as if he came over in the middle of the night to show off, just to hear Jia Yidao's appreciation. However, then there was a hint of helplessness on his face.
"Okay, don't cry with a sad face, isn't it just the carving of the Moyu birthday star, when the day dawns, we will go to the City God Temple to have a look." Maybe I'll find it. Jia Rudao naturally saw the reason, and at the moment, he said a little comfortingly.
"Alas, you don't understand. Liu Yufei sighed and said, "My grandfather's ninetieth birthday is imminent, although the whole 'Liu Ji' is my father's hard work, but it has nothing to do with my grandfather's generation. Therefore, the family members are very filial to the elderly.
However, a year ago, the old man instructed us to find a birthday star, and also specified that we had to ask for black jade. But now, where can I find a black jade material with a good texture and a more suitable material size? My brother-in-law has searched Dushan, Hotan, Qinghai, and Liaoyang, and there are nearly a ton of jade material transported back to Jieyang, and I still can't find a piece of ink jade that the old man is satisfied with, let alone a good carver.
In the first half of the year. Finally the short man pulled out a long ground. I found a piece of mountain material. Please Yangzhou carvers do it for three months. The old man took a look at it and said it didn't smell like that at all. Thereupon. The whole family continues to search. To this day, there is still no hope. This time I went to Yangzhou. Speaking of which. That's just what I heard at first. to the ground. Entrusted with the relationship. When you find the seller's land. Get. It's already been shot. It really depressed me. ”
"Now that everyone has already made a move. It's not a solution for you to be depressed. Jia Rudao replied. But. I was thinking about it. How to know the local people. It's all about family backgrounds. And. The old man is still going to have a birthday?
"That's right. Since it is the old man's confession. Didn't you go to the antique market?" Jia asked. "How did you get to this point? Just remembered to go to the City God Temple to have a look?"
"Who said they didn't go to the ground. Liu Yufei's eyes widened. He said speechlessly. "As far as the Dipan homeland in Beijing. It is close to some antique markets in Guangdong. It didn't take much thought. I'm all. ……”
"How's it going?" Jia asked curiously.
"I've even been to the underground black market. Liu Yufei said this. It's a little quieter. "Still. Again, there is no gain. ”
"Underground black market?" Jia Rudao heard such a term for the first time, "This antique trade also has an underground black market?
"You don't know this, right?" Liu Yufei looked at Jia Nidao with a puzzled expression, and his mood was much better, as if he could transfer his depression to Jia Nidao's body, "In the antique industry, there are many shady things, just like some just robbed tombs, can you take them to the market and sell them?"
"It's the same way. Jia Rudao replied, "When, if you have the opportunity, take me to have a look?" Compared to the auction, there should be a big difference, right?
"Forget it. You've got someone else. Liu Yufei shirked, "Don't look at me like that, it's useless to look at me." I'm not in this business at all. Although I like to collect jasper ornaments or something, but that's just a hobby. Compared to those collectors, my network is still very narrow. Alas......"
Saying that, Liu Yufei also sighed, "The reason why I was able to go and see it last time was because I asked a friend to guarantee it." Be careful. ”
In the words, there is a great sense of persuading Jia to not participate.
Jia Yidao naturally understood the danger. However, the so-called corn from the fire can only have huge profits in danger, otherwise, there is no possibility of survival in the black market of antiques. However, since Liu Yufei said so, Jia Yidao could only temporarily suppress his curiosity.
Early the next morning, the two came to the City God Temple.
Compared with the antique market near the sea, both the scale of the area and the diversity of things here are undoubtedly much higher. The exquisiteness of the storefront and the antique style are not to be mentioned. In particular, the atmosphere here, even if it's not a weekend time, can still make you feel the fun of collecting and the thriving antique market.
That's the foundation!
Jia Rudao sighed in his heart, no matter what you say, although there is only one word difference between Linhai and Shanghai in their names, but, otherwise, there seems to be no comparison. Together with Liu Yufei, I entered a few shops and looked at them casually, revealing an ancient charm everywhere. I've forgotten what I'm here for. Fortunately, there is plenty of time, and the two of them have nothing to do, even if it is Liu Yufei himself, I am afraid that he does not have much hope in his heart, and he will definitely be able to find Moyu Shouxing, right?
