Three minutes later, Lin Yi looked at Zhang Siyuan with a disgusted expression: "I thought there was something, such a trivial matter as you hurriedly called me over? Isn't it just to buy a congratulatory gift for Hanzi? Go, follow me." ”

Zhang Siyuan, who was despised, didn't say anything, this despised person really had no ability to resist, so he could only walk behind Lin Yi. It didn't take long for Zhang Siyuan to follow Lin Yi to Liulichang.

At the entrance of Liulichang, Lin Yi said to Zhang Siyuan while walking: "It's late at this time, there are not many people here." It's crowded during the day, but I can tell you, this is not a place for ordinary people. ”

When he followed Lin Yi here, Zhang Siyuan knew what kind of place this was. Regarding Lin Yi's statement that this place is not something that ordinary people can come to, Zhang Siyuan showed a puzzled expression.

Lin Yi naturally saw Zhang Siyuan's expression, and explained with a slight smugness: "I know that you must be here for the first time, so I'll tell you about the doorway today." ”

Although Zhang Siyuan probably knows what the glaze factory is, Zhang Siyuan doesn't know anything about specific things. After all, with Zhang Siyuan's original social status, he couldn't get in touch with a high level at all. A small civilian who is in the subsistence line of the Shanghai market, he will definitely not be able to have spare money to collect anything like those rich people.

Zhang Siyuan believes that Lin Yi will definitely understand something, after all, his family background is there. So Zhang Siyuan showed a deferential expression, waiting for Lin Yi to explain to him.

Seeing that Zhang Siyuan, who was omnipotent before, showed a listening expression, Lin Yi's expression became even more proud. However, Lin Yi also knew that he had to grasp the size, although he was very proud, but he was not too embarrassed, but explained more gently: "Liulichang is the largest antique trading market in Yanjing, and it can even be said that it is extremely famous in the whole country. Here, you may be worth a fortune if you buy a copper coin, or you may buy an item that is worth nothing but a fake. So here, vision and knowledge are very important. ”

Hearing Lin Yi's words, Zhang Siyuan asked puzzledly: "I can understand my eyesight, but what about knowledge?"

Zhang Siyuan knows that to see some antiques, you really need to look at them with your eyes. After all, many antiques can be distinguished from their appearance, and with a good eye, you can even determine whether they are antiques or fakes at a glance. But knowledge is something that Zhang Siyuan knows to have, but how can it have anything to do with antiques.

Lin Yi replied with a smile: "General knowledge is naturally of little use to the antique industry, but some professional knowledge is very important. Take the simplest copper coins as an example, some copper coins are rarely issued in contemporary times, and the number of surviving coins is even rarer, so the value of this copper coin is naturally very high. And some copper coins have a large circulation, and there are many that have been retained for future generations, so the value is naturally not very good. How to say it, although it is an antique, it has no collection value at all, you know. Therefore, you need to have a good understanding of some aspects of history to ensure that you will not buy an antique that is not collectible. ”

"What about jade? I've heard people say that jade is also more valuable the more time passes. Zhang Siyuan then asked.

Who knew that Lin Yi directly refuted Zhang Siyuan's words: "Jade, after a long time, will naturally be worth a little more than new jade." However, what can really determine the price of jade is not the year of the jade, but what history the jade has and who used to wear it. The price of ordinary Song Dynasty jade and the jade worn by Wang Anshi is worlds apart. Of course, the quality is indeed important, but in the eyes of many people, the historical value is much more important than the appearance. Otherwise, why is it that the things that are made now look so much more beautiful than many antiques, but are so worthless? It's nothing more than no special significance, and no historical deeds. ”

Without waiting for Zhang Siyuan to speak, Lin Yi continued: "Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times." Now that society is becoming more and more stable, the value of antiques is also doubling again and again. With your current net worth, you will definitely have to come into contact with such things in the future. Even if you're not interested, you must understand a little. Otherwise, it will be very cheap to communicate with others on some occasions in the future, so today I will take advantage of buying a congratulatory gift for Hanzi to bring you to see and understand. ”

Zhang Siyuan, who was walking next to him, showed a deeply appreciative expression, although Zhang Siyuan had seen a lot of those vassal and elegant nouveau riche with the leaders before, and he despised them in his heart, but now Zhang Siyuan feels that sometimes it is not you who you want to be, but this society needs you like that. When you don't have the ability to get rid of these constraints, you can only passively accept these things.

Today's Zhang Siyuan is not very reluctant to these things, and he is not opposed to knowing more things, so when Lin Yi said it, Zhang Siyuan did not object, but showed a very interested look.

Lin Yi looked at Zhang Siyuan's appearance, pointed to the small vendors on both sides of the street who had not yet closed their stalls, and whispered in Zhang Siyuan's ear: "In the hands of these hawkers, basically nine out of ten are fakes. If you come here by yourself in the future, don't be fooled by them. Unless you're extremely lucky, there's no way you're going to get anything out of them. ”

"Why?" asked Zhang Siyuan, puzzled.

Lin Yi glanced at Zhang Siyuan, and then explained: "Have you ever heard of ten gambles and nine frauds, the same truth." This circle is about buying and leaving, no matter how you talked about it before, what he told you. As long as you are tempted to give money, after the people and goods are cleared, no matter whether you make or lose afterwards, you can't go to someone. This is a rule in the circle, and few people can break it. That's why I said that you come here alone and don't be fooled by them, there are many things they can do to put them on the table, just see if you can fool Xiaobai. ”

At this moment, Zhang Siyuan was even more puzzled: "But in this way, aren't they fraud?

Lin Yi patted Zhang Siyuan on the shoulder: "Brother, snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat nests." Here, you can only be deceived because you deserve it. Generally, these bosses also have a good eye and will not deceive too outrageously. The police rarely come to mind the matter, and if you call the police, you will not only be ridiculed, but also rejected by the circle. The main thing is that even if you call the police, if the amount is not particularly large, the police will not bother to take it seriously. So generally speaking, those who are really mixed in this circle will not make a noise when they look away, and they will only suffer a dumb loss. ”

Zhang Siyuan nodded: "I know, I'll pay attention to it in the future." However, having said all that, where are you going to take me, Brother Lin?"

Lin Yi was still reluctant to tell Zhang Siyuan at this time, but smiled mysteriously: "It's good for you to follow, I said to take you to see some good things, then it is impossible to lie to you." ”

Zhang Siyuan saw that Lin Yi was still pretending to be mysterious at this time, thinking that what Lin Yi wanted to take himself to see should be here in the Liuli Factory, the Liuli Factory was actually not that big, and he would soon be able to reach the place where Lin Yi wanted to take him, so he didn't ask again, but followed Lin Yi to the front wholeheartedly.

In this way, amid the shouts of the small vendors along the way, Zhang Siyuan followed Lin Yi to a store. When he walked to the door, Zhang Siyuan saw a plaque above the door, which read "Guyi Zhai".

Lin Yi walked inside with Zhang Siyuan like a familiar car, and as soon as he walked in, a clerk greeted him. Zhang Siyuan looked at Lin Yi's familiarity with the clerk, and knew that Lin Yi was a frequent customer here, so he naturally guessed that this should have something to do with Lin Yi.

After Lin Yi said a few words to the clerk, he led Zhang Siyuan and Lin Yi to walk inside. As for Ye Wudao, he waited outside when he entered the ancient art house. This was requested by Lin Yi, Zhang Siyuan did not refuse, and Ye Wudao would not doubt what Lin Yi wanted to do to Zhang Siyuan. And in this kind of place, Ye Wudao didn't believe that anything would happen to Zhang Siyuan.

After all, in Liulichang, these time-honored brands that can still be opened today are basically national brands. Some of the guards in the secret are not for fun, you must know that there may be any thing in these stores to sell, maybe it can make ordinary people eat and drink for a lifetime.

Originally, Zhang Siyuan also wanted to see some decorations in the lobby, but after Lin Yi said a few words to the clerk, the clerk took them inside, and Zhang Siyuan didn't have time to look at the decorations in the lobby, so he could only follow back and go inside. Lin Yi, who was walking next to the clerk, didn't say anything to Zhang Siyuan at this time, and Zhang Siyuan could only follow silently.

After passing through a corridor, Zhang Siyuan found that there was a courtyard behind Guyizhai. At this time, the clerk had already walked into the courtyard, and Lin Yi also walked to Zhang Siyuan's side, and said to Zhang Siyuan: "What is placed in the front hall are all non-sale items and not very good things, and the really good things are here." The clerk just told me that there is a new batch of goods here, and I will help you take a good look at it when the time comes. If there is a suitable gift for Hanzi, you can buy it. Even if you don't have a suitable one, you can see if there is something you like, and if you have one, you can buy it back and collect it. ”

At this time, Lin Yi is like a pimp in Zhang Siyuan's eyes, but Zhang Siyuan doesn't mind Lin Yi saying this. Zhang Siyuan doesn't care what the relationship between Lin Yi and Gu Yizhai is, as long as he can pick a suitable gift. As for what Lin Yi said about collecting, Zhang Siyuan can only talk about it when the time comes.

Not long after the clerk entered, he walked out and said politely to Lin Yi: "Lin Shao, the shopkeeper is waiting for you inside, you can take this guest in." ”

After finishing speaking, Lin Yi waved his hand: "Siyuan, go." ”
