Chapter 70: The Antique Trade

The Songyuan Antique Trading Market is also in the southern district, which is one of the largest antique distribution centers in the eastern part of the country.

Because of its fame and wide area, it has become similar to the existence of tourist attractions, and many people have heard the news of buying antiques to make a fortune, and they also want to pick up the leaks, more for fun.

A total of more than 20 kilometers of road, after paying the driver's fare, Li Junhao got off the car under the scorching sun, there were not many people at noon, and it was estimated that it would not be lively until the evening.

This belongs to the edge of the city, there are not many vehicles on the road, after crossing the road to enter, you can see all kinds of strange "old goods", rows of stalls with only roofs, there are stone statues, bronze statues, jade, copper coins, weapons, wood carvings, etc., so that Li Junhao is dazzled.

I thought they were all antiques, but I found that most of them were modern handicrafts, in the era when Li Junhao lived, only good things more than a hundred years ago were considered old objects, and the things used in life were not counted, but today, hundreds of years later, it has been regarded as an antique with a long history.

This made Li Junhao feel interesting, in other words, he could be regarded as an antique, the vicissitudes of life seemed to be just a moment, and he saw a large number of Hongwu Tongbao copper coins, which were full of rusty patina, and the sense of estrangement caused by the change of time and space came to his face.

He doesn't know much about antiques, but he grew up in a wealthy environment from childhood to adulthood, his home is full of rare treasures, plus he has read many miscellaneous books, and he has been exposed to it for a long time, and he knows a little bit about rare objects in the early Ming Dynasty and previous generations.

Walking all the way, I saw many strange things, such as a pile of "Ru kiln in the Southern Tang Dynasty" porcelain on the stall, Li Junhao once used the Ru kiln big pot to raise fish, and he knew at a glance that they were all fake.

Lack of money, a simple check on the Internet decoration price, a little higher grade to seven figures, and because of the lack of money and worry, he misses the time when he did not worry about money and the price was very low.

The eyes kept looking to both sides, trying to pick a leak to make some money, but unfortunately I walked all the way over, and I didn't see a few valuable real things......

Compared with the open-air carpet, those shops are obviously more upscale, Li Junhao found a shop with "antique recycling" written on it and walked in, and saw an embroidered spring knife on the shelf.

Got closer but found that the knife root was engraved with flying fish on both sides, and he learned that it was fake, he clearly remembered that it should be the dragon pattern, but he didn't dare to conclude, after all, he had not experienced the later dynasties, maybe after he fell asleep, the pattern would change.

Eyes swept one by one, found a few real things, the value is not high, was carefully placed in the glass cabinet, trying to pick up the leak, the old shopkeeper is reading a book, with a long beard, wearing round glasses, the electric fan is whirring, it looks quite Sven.

Seeing Li Junhao, he looked up and down, stood up and said, "Young man, do you have a favorite?"?

If it was a crowded night, the old man would not pay attention to Li Junhao at all, because many tourists asked questions, but they didn't plan to buy anything at all, and it was a waste of saliva to help introduce them.

If you want to buy something, you will naturally ask, and if you don't ask, you will be too lazy to introduce, stay in the antique market for a long time, you will develop this habit, they are different from those small vendors who make money from tourists outside, they pay attention to opening and eating for three years, mainly doing slightly larger business, and now they are just idle and bored, so they asked more.

Li Junhao nodded, he didn't understand the rules of the antique business, and came up and said, "I have a few silver tickets that I want to sell during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, can you accept them here?"

Silver tickets made of paper become rarer the older they get.

The Yongle Dynasty is more than 600 years old, and it is still a few sheets, which can be regarded as a big business, but the things are relatively out of the way, and there are not too many people who like to collect this kind of thing.

The old man was a little interested, but only slightly, he was used to seeing people taking garbage as treasures, and he was not sure whether it was true or not.

opened his mouth and asked Li Junhao, "Brought something?"

Show it to me, I'm not familiar with silver tickets, and if I really want to sell them, I'll find someone to help me palm. ”

There are so many classifications, no one dares to say that they understand everything, they come to sell things by themselves, and it is normal for the other party to verify the authenticity, Li Junhao has nothing to do today, and he is not in a hurry, so he said with a smile: "I brought it, if I am interested in receiving it, I will wait." ”

After speaking, he took out the folded silver ticket from his pocket, and saw that he put the things in his pocket, the expression on the old man's face suddenly became strange, and before he could read the things, he already felt that most of them were fake, otherwise who would be willing to fold out the traces of the ancient silver tickets? Moreover, the paper was so new that his interest suddenly decreased.

Put on gloves, spread a layer of dry cloth on the counter, and wait for Li Junhao to put the things on, then open them carefully, and take the things rashly, in case they are broken, no one will take this risk except for laymen.

Spread out a few silver tickets one by one, and found that the denominations of handwritten Chinese characters were not low, and after glancing at Li Junhao, he said with a smile: "Good guy, a total of 160,000 taels?"

This 50,000 taels was considered a huge wealth back then, not a Ming treasure banknote, I haven't heard of this bank, Daming to the present, hundreds of years have passed, there are almost no traces of oxidation, and the paper is too good.

I can't see anything for sure, and even if I do, I can't take it away, it's a national treasure, why don't you go to another place to see it?"

The face value of the ancient official banknotes is very small, can only be called "money tickets", the Ming Dynasty has only issued one kind of banknotes, the name is the Ming treasure banknote, the face of the coin is only printed with the Hongwu year number, the maximum denomination is consistent, even if the later inflation, there has been no big banknote.

Li Junhao understood that he was telling himself very tactfully that the thing was fake, and sighed softly, he had been worried that something like this would happen before, but now it really happened.

Thinking about it from another perspective, if these silver tickets were not his own, he thought that he would probably not believe them, these silver tickets came from hundreds of years ago, and when he put them away, he explained:

As early as the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Wang family, the largest cloth merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, felt that it was inconvenient for merchants to trade, so they joined forces with other merchants to open Hengtong Money Village.

Until the Hongxi period, it is not that there are no large amount of silver tickets, but they will only be used for business, in addition to Baotai Money Zhuang and Dahua Money Village, but Hengtong Money Village is the most reputable, have these not been handed down?"

The old man was afraid that Li Junhao would be messing around, so he continued: "I just don't understand, I didn't say it's fake, you go to other places to take a look, maybe someone knows." ”

After saying that, he lay down in his chair and closed his eyes and turned on the radio, not planning to continue talking.

When he went out, Li Junhao looked at the silver tickets and began to worry about whether they could be sold, but things were not as expected, and then went to a few stores, but no one was optimistic about this thing.

After going to the six stores, he didn't plan to continue asking, looking at what those people meant, these silver tickets were "too fake", so fake that he didn't even want to look at them twice.

When he came out of the antique shop, he sighed deeply, thinking about how to get money in a short period of time, and was already thinking about whether to go back to Yangdong and carve a few more pieces of wood for some money......

******************************

Yangdong.

After Old Man Tang sent several policemen out of the door, he didn't have the heart to continue carving.

The "Qingming Riverside Picture" in the Forbidden City was suspected to be a fake, and after the news of its quiet withdrawal came out, he was already more convinced that "Li Liuxian" was erudite and talented, but the police's inquiry just now made the old man can't help but start to worry more.

At this time, he knew that Li Liuxian's real name was Li Junhao, and it was not a big deal to change his name when he went out, Old Man Tang believed in his own vision and thought that Xiao Li was by no means a bad person, but after all, he was young, and it was not impossible to cause trouble.

At this moment, I made a phone call and told Song Qian about it, Song Qian also wondered, and heard the old man tell him that he had told the police Li Junhao's phone number, and felt that this was not good, so after thinking about it, he made a phone call and asked what happened.

The person who investigated Li Junhao's whereabouts was naturally Secretary Ge, with the influence of the Donghuang Group, it was nothing to do this, and after getting the mobile phone number, it was not easy to check the person with modern technology.

Li Junhao learned from Song Qian's mouth that when the police came to investigate his whereabouts, he couldn't help but think about it more, thinking that the incident at the zoo was exposed, or the matter of buying an ID card was exposed, and he was a little apprehensive.

Song Qian replied to him anxiously: "How do I know! This is for you, my father-in-law didn't ask about the specific case."

Just now I asked about the relationship, and there was a small hair in it, telling me that it was the top that let the investigation, and you didn't do anything, right?"?

"No, I just came out, nothing happened. Li Junhao replied to him suspiciously, and wondered if it was the two onmyoji who made the ghost, the little guy named An Yan Ryoma knew that he had been to Old Man Tang's house.

"Oh, I'll ask you again, maybe it's because of that painting, I'm still young, don't get dizzy, be careful......"

Not long after they met, Song Qianneng called to tell Li Junhao about this matter, which was already considered benevolent and righteous.

After saying a few words and hanging up the phone, Li Junhao thought for a while, but couldn't find a clue at all, so he had to think that the soldiers would block and the water would cover up.

Continuing to bargain with small traders, he set his sights on a brick inkstone of a bit of age, not because he wanted to make money, but because he liked it.

Dozens of kilometers away in the Donghuang Building, Secretary Ge just asked the communication operator to help find out the approximate location of Li Junhao, and then hurriedly came to Li Qingtian's office and told him about it.

As expected, after Li Qingtian heard the news, he thought it was very interesting, and told Secretary Ge to continue to investigate, and it was best to find out where he lived.

The boss is in a good mood, and he can breathe a sigh of relief when he is a secretary, and he plans to go to the Songyuan antique trading market in person, and after going out, he applied for a helicopter and went to the top floor to set off.

Li Junhao bought a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and when he was leaving, he accidentally heard the sound of firecrackers exploding behind him, and there was a joke from the vendors in his ears: "Yo, someone over there in Baoyu Pavilion has cut up again?"

Someone next to him replied: "It should be, last time someone spent 1.6 million yuan to buy a piece of half-gambling wool weighing more than 20 kilograms, and it rose by 4 million in one fell swoop!"

"Let's not be envious, there is no diamond diamond, no porcelain work, there are many doorways, less cutting, and more losses. ”

Li Junhao, who is now particularly sensitive to the word "money", stopped and asked, "May I ask what you are cutting?"

"I don't know, gambling stones!"

A fat uncle told him with a smile......
