"The security guards are here!"

I don't know who shouted, but I saw two obese guys, with hats on their heads wearing crookedly, running over, scolding in English without dry mouth: "Yellow pig, you have to cry out and cry, don't cry here and dirty our floor!"

As he spoke, one of them tried to hit the old man with a rubber stick in his hand, but was stopped by the old man's son.

Although the old man's son didn't want the old man to cry here, but someone beat his father, of course it wouldn't work, but the fat security guard was quite strong, and he threw his arm and smashed the thin man against the wall, although it didn't seem like a big deal, but he couldn't stop the fat man.

"Snake team, just don't kill it, this is someone else's territory after all. Zhang Tianyuan saw that Snake Lin was going over to help, he didn't intend to stop it, if he didn't even have this blood, Snake Lin would not be a soldier.

Not to mention the snake, even if he Zhang Tianyuan saw the old man in his motherland being beaten by others, he would definitely want to help, but he didn't need to make a move today.

"Don't worry, you can't die!" "Snake Lin is a special soldier, but not a killer, he has performed many tasks, and some tasks are as long as the gangsters are subdued, and they must not be killed without authorization, so it is most appropriate for him to deal with this matter.

"What are you doing?" The rubber stick in the fat security guard's hand was grabbed by the snake lin, obviously timid, after all, the snake lin was taller than him.

"Don't do it, he's so old, you can persuade him well. How is it that after so many years, the British are still so savage. It's a virtue to invade China back then!" said Snake Lin coldly as he looked at the fat security guard.

"Be careful!"

At this time, another security guard actually took a stun gun and quietly approached the snake from the side. Trying to join forces to restrain the snake lin, Liu Mengxun couldn't help but scream.

However, the fat security guard felt a pain in his wrist, and secretly screamed in his heart, and then the stun gun in his hand fell to the ground, and then he was kicked in the chest, and fell to the ground, lying there on all fours, like a turtle that had fallen to the ground.

Another fat security guard was also not happy, and was kicked in the heel position by the snake. Then he stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Let's go, boss, it's not good if this thing gets big. Lancelot said worriedly.

Zhang Tianyuan saw that it was almost over, and asked the snake to help the old man up, and then went out of the museum with the old man's family and left outside.

Although the British Museum was not finished, Zhang Tianyuan felt that there was no need to continue visiting, and he felt a kind of helplessness and grief from the bottom of his heart. Watching those things on display in someone else's museum is like seeing your wife lying in another man's arms, and that feeling is really uncomfortable.

"Husband. If you're tired, go home. Let's stop shopping. Liu Meng saw that Zhang Tianyuan was not in a good mood, and felt that it was not interesting to go on like this, so he said.

"Not tired. Pick a place to take it easy, Lancelot. I've heard that there are quite a few antique shops in London, so tell me about them. In this museum, you can only see it, you can't buy it, it's too embarrassing. Zhang Tianyuan looked at Lancelot and said.

He finally came to London once, but he didn't want to end the trip like this, besides, with his ability to pick up leaks, he couldn't buy a treasure to go home.

"Are there antique shops in the UK?" Liu Mengxun was surprised.

"Don't underestimate the British, the British also play antiques, and playing antiques in Britain has never been a hot spot for a while, but for many years, because the number of such enthusiasts in the UK is hundreds of thousands. London's large and small antique streets and antique shops are constantly visited every day, and many British people take shopping here as the greatest pleasure of their lives, from broken bowls and pots to large oil paintings, each piece is the goal of their personal collection. Lancelot smiled and said, "Madam, if you are interested, you can also go shopping, there are many interesting things in many places, you can buy some and relax." ”

Lancelot seems to think that women should buy things when they are angry, so they will build such a thing for Liu Mengxun.

"Well, I've heard that in order to cater to this group of consumers, many TV stations in the UK have one or more programs dedicated to art collecting. Like the BBC's 'Antique Road' weekly show, which airs in prime time every time. The ratings have been good. Many antique shops have also become partners of the show, introducing art collecting experiences on the spot, taking the opportunity to promote their own stores and advertise them for free. It's a bit similar to the treasure appreciation programs of many TV stations in our country. Zhang Tianyuan nodded and said.

"Sounds strangely interesting, Lancelot, where would you like to show me to?" Liu Mengxun asked, looking at Lancelot.

Everyone spoke in English, so there was no language barrier.

Lancelot's English proficiency goes without saying, a native Londoner, and Liu Mengxun often travels to Europe and the United States on business, and his English proficiency is not bad.

As for Zhang Tianyuan, if he uses imitation words, then he will have no problem speaking fluently in London.

So this conversation, naturally, is not a problem.

"Well, from the antique streets of Notting Hill in London to the major international art auction houses in the city, the art collecting market in the UK is divided into different categories, but it does business in different price points. ”

"There are three levels of collector's markets in the UK, the lowest of which is the flea market, which only sells second-hand goods, whether real or fake, for between £3 and £5, and is available in almost every town. Due to the low price, the goods are mixed in authenticity, but this is also agreed before the sale, and it is also fair. ”

"It's similar to the Pan family in our imperial capital. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"It's probably not as good as Pan Jiayuan, but there are serious antique shops in Pan Jiayuan. Liu Mengxun shook his head and said.

"Well, it's actually better to be at the antique thrift market in Notting Hill, where most of the goods are genuine. The price is also relatively high, but the price here is inflated. You need to have enough good vision to be able to keep the price down to a reasonable level with the stall owner. Despite the rounds of bargaining. However, the authenticity of the goods is still written on the receipt. If a buyer discovers a fraud, he or she can come to the store with the receipts, and under English law, the seller is subject to heavy penalties for commercial fraud and is often disqualified. ”

"This is good, this is really much better than buying fake antiques in China and only admitting bad luck, let's go to this place for a walk, Snake Team." Let's go get the car over. Zhang Tianyuan said.

"Boss, in fact, if you really plan to buy antiques, there is a place. Lancelot saw that the snake was going to drive, so he quickly added.

"Where else?"

"Yes, the highest level is the antique shops, which are mostly owned by big antique dealers or well-known collectors, located in Kensington in west London and Campton in the east. Most of these stores are more than 100 years old and can be regarded as famous brand stores. Many of the things sold inside are royal supplies. Some stores also have a crown logo in front of the store. There may be less than 20 pieces of the collection on display, but each piece is a fine product, and the price may be higher than that of the auction house. It is unlikely that you will buy a fake here. The clerk or the store manager will explain it to you personally, either as a scholar or as a collector himself. So. In the UK, some collectors don't go to the auction house at all, and entrust the collection of a qiē to an antique store. ”

"Hmm. Let's go to the flea market first, then to Notting Hill Antique Street! Zhang Tianyuan actually didn't have much interest in such an antique shop. He prefers the thrill of picking up leaks, like the kind of antique shop Lancelot said, the things in the store are more expensive than the auction house, which basically means that there is not much appreciation value, so the flea market and Notting Hill Antique Street, that's the place he dreamed of.

I have a six-character formula, the word is specialized in identifying antiques, speaking of leaks, that has an innate advantage over many people, if you don't use it, it's a pity.

You know, a lot of things that the British got back from China, Egypt, Greece and other countries were scattered to the people, and it really would be dusty.

Many of his things used to be found in the antique market, such as the three swords of Yin Tianzi, the Guiguzi downhill jar, and the Yongzheng pastel olive bottle and so on.

This foreign antique is also an antique, Zhang Tianyuan doesn't care about Chinese and foreign antiques anyway, since the British can get Chinese things, then why can't he get British things to his own country.

Besides, I'm not here to steal and rob, or to take advantage of others, but I'm here to buy it seriously.

Like the treasure of the novel "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", the Alpheus Antique Market is like a mystery hidden in the hearts of tourists, and few people have set foot in it. You can take the metro to Marylebone Street and walk past Middle Eastern stalls and vegetable stalls to find this antique market.

The market has three floors and is filled with dazzling antiques, so you'll need to sift through them. A casual glance at these chandeliers, treasure pendants, antique shirts, yellowed posters and mottled jars is like stepping back in time to the last century. Open Tuesday to Saturday.

According to Lancelot, if you are an antique connoisseur in this place, you will definitely find something you like and you will definitely be able to make money.

However, this guy is obviously exaggerating, Zhang Tianyuan watched it for a long time, and he didn't find anything worth his nostalgia here.

However, Liu Mengxun was very happy, and walked around the market and bought many novel gadgets.

In fact, the things here are not expensive, but there are many tricks, and even Zhang Tianyuan saw King Arthur's stone sword hanging on the wall, but the price is only a hundred pounds to buy.

After he read it with a word appreciation formula, he scolded in his heart that this place is dark enough, this so-called sword in the stone is not only rough in workmanship, but also not very good in materials, not to mention a hundred pounds, it is a hundred RMB, and Zhang Tianyuan will not buy it.

There are still some fairy tale things in the market, as well as a lot of rag dolls, such as Barbie dolls that Liu Mengxun likes very much, as well as cartoon dolls such as Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White, these qualities are really good, but when Zhang Tianyuan carefully observed, he had to smile bitterly, because the bottom of that thing was printed in English "Made in China".

After doing it for a long time, he came to the UK to buy Chinese things, but since Liu Mengxun likes it, he is not short of money.

One word, buy!(To be continued......)
