Chapter 15: Antique Street
"Hey, I can only find a way to make money by myself, go out and walk around first, and see if there are any part-time jobs to do" Guo Yuhao shook his head helplessly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After saying that, Guo Yuhao got up and cleaned up the room, folded the scroll and prepared to put it in the antique box.
"Box, yes, why didn't I think of it" Guo Yuhao had an idea, the scroll had to be kept by himself, but this box didn't seem to have much effect, I could take it and sell it.
Guo Yuhao picked up the wooden box and looked at it carefully, and found that the lines on the wooden box were very neat, and the tentacles were very smooth.
I don't know what kind of box it is made of wood, but it looks like it should be very valuable, Guo Yuhao muttered in his heart.
After hesitating for a while, Guo Yuhao still planned to go to the antique street first to have a look and understand the market, he had stayed in Yanyang City for so long, and he had not been to that place yet.
After lunch, Guo Yuhao put the box in a small backpack and then went out with the bag, he just checked on the Internet, to the bus route of the antique street, take the No. 3 bus about 30 minutes to arrive.
Yanyang City Antique Street, where is a collector's paradise, the number of ancient buildings and modern buildings is about the same, the endless flow of people, dense stalls, and even some tourists from other places take this place as a tourist attraction to sightsee.
Guo Yuhao, who came to the antique street, was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, with a look of shock and surprise on his face.
"Take a look, take a look, all kinds of antique treasures, buy one and get one free, buy is earn, this little brother, do you want to come and have a look, I promise to satisfy you"
Walk by, don't miss it, all kinds of blue and white porcelain, bronze utensils, ancestral old objects, the family company has closed down, waiting for these treasures to repay their debts, to ensure that they are genuine......"
“………”
The shouting, the chattering, the sound of the voice.
Although Guo Yuhao doesn't know much about this piece, he hasn't seen a pig run, hasn't he eaten pork yet? Most of the products sold on this stall are imitations, including ordinary stores, and there are only so many genuine goods.
In fact, everyone knows it, but they all buy it with the mentality of picking up leaks, and if they buy a genuine product, they will send it. So this is also one of the reasons why the antique street is bustling.
In fact,Picking up this thing is the same as buying a lottery ticket,Everyone knows that the probability of winning the lottery is too low,But lottery sales are still increasing year by year,After all, there are too many people who want to get rich overnight.
If it weren't for the fact that there was only sixty-eight dollars left in his pocket, oh no, he had just taken the two-yuan bus and there were sixty-six dollars and three cents left, Guo Yuhao would also want to buy something to try his luck.
"Hey, I don't know how much that box can be worth," Guo Yuhao said with a sigh. He can't estimate the price at all, you say go to the pawn shop, the price is too high, no one wants it, and if it is low, he suffers again. That's why it's important to know what to do.
It seems that it is enough to find a time to go to G Space to learn about the antique market. Guo Yuhao said in his heart.
He now wants to find a bigger pawn shop to explore the way, but there is a lot of traffic here, Guo Yuhao is not very familiar with the storefronts and road conditions here, he plans to find someone to ask about the situation.
Guo Yuhao walked towards the antique stall not far away, and to his surprise, the stall owner was actually a young girl who looked about the same age as her.
The girl was dressed plainly and had a faint smile on her face.
Seeing Guo Yuhao coming over, he hurriedly got up with a smile and greeted: "This gentleman, what do you want, these are my father's usual collections, but I have been a little tight recently, so I took them out and sold them cheaply."
The girl said very old-fashionedly, and at first glance, she had been in this line for a long time.
"Uh....." Guo Yuhao was a little embarrassed by the girl's enthusiasm, after all, he was just here to ask for directions, and said a little embarrassed: "That, I don't buy antiques today, I'm just here to inquire about something."
When the girl heard Guo Yuhao's words, she suddenly lost her enthusiasm, her face immediately sank, she sat on the stool, and said impatiently: "What do you want to ask?" ”
Lin Xin'er is not in a very good mood, she usually works in an antique shop, and when she is on vacation, she goes to the porcelain wholesale market to buy some gadgets or something, and then comes to the antique street to set up a stall to earn some extra money.
However, because her capital is relatively small, the appearance and quality of the goods she buys are not good, and the discerning people know that they are fake at a glance, and those who know how to do it don't even look at it. Although everyone is rushing to pick up the leaks, everyone is not stupid, and they know that they will definitely not do a loss-making transaction.
This also leads to the fact that even if Lin Xin'er squats here for a day, she will sell one or two pieces at most, but don't underestimate these two pieces, the profit margin of antiques is very large, even if the profit of one or two pieces is more than that of an ordinary worker in the factory.
Lin Xin'er stayed on the street all morning today, and none of them were sold, but there were many people who came to see it, but the people who bought it haven't met yet.
Lin Xin'er has been praying in her heart, hurry up and go to this girl's stall to buy one or two pieces and open it.
In the business industry, observing words and colors is the most basic, Lin Xin'er found that Guo Yuhao was looking around not far away, and at first glance he was a novice who didn't know anything about antiques, and she saw Guo Yuhao walking towards her shop, thinking that she could open a store today, but who knew that Guo Yuhao said that he was asking for directions as soon as he came up.
Lin Xin'er thought hatefully in her heart: You have to pretend to take a look at me here, and then ask for directions by the way, although it is also very hateful to do this, but this girl is also a little more comfortable, you will ask for directions when you come up, what do you think of this girl, Baidu map?
Guo Yuhao looked at Lin Xin'er staring at him with disgust, he felt a little embarrassed, I didn't offend her,
It is said that a woman's face changes faster than a book, and this sentence is true, it is still an e-book, and when you touch your hand, you will go to the next page.
Guo Yuhao cheekily asked: "That, is there any pawn shop nearby, that is, the kind that recycles antiques?"
"Pawn shop? Are you going to sell something? Lin Xin'er was a little puzzled, isn't this an antique street, there are all over the street, and any shop that sells antiques can recycle some antiques or something, provided that it is true. However, seeing Guo Yuhao's expression of not understanding anything, he may have thought that the word 'pawnshop' must be hung on the signboard to be his destination.
"I have an ancestral thing at home, and I want to find a place to sell it," Guo Yuhao said with a smile.
"Oh" Lin Xin'er didn't ask much, pointed to the end of the road and said: "You go here for a hundred meters, there is a junction, and then go to the left for twenty meters."
That's where Lin Xin'er usually works, and she doesn't recommend being a favor.
"It's gone, I've sent it, 500 yuan to buy a genuine product, ahahaha"
Just as Guo Yuhao was about to leave, a burst of excited shouts suddenly sounded in his ears.
Following the voice, he saw a young man not far from him shouting excitedly with a calligraphy and painting in his hand, and an old man in a Tang costume next to him pointed at the calligraphy and painting. The stall owner on the side looked pig's liver color, beating his chest as if someone else owed him money and didn't pay it back.
There were more and more onlookers on the side.
"Is this kid really lucky, a genuine "Pastoral Landscape" was actually bought by him for 500 yuan, it's really unreasonable, I come to the antique street every day, why didn't I meet one"
"Is it really Xu Taibai's calligraphy and painting "Pastoral Landscape" in the Ming Dynasty? Isn't that worth tens of thousands of dollars," a middle-aged man said with some jealousy.
I saw the old man in Tang costume smile and said to the young man who bought calligraphy and paintings: "Hehe." I didn't expect the old man to see a baby as soon as he came out, young man, if you are willing, I bought your calligraphy and painting for 50,000 yuan, what do you think, you can talk about it again if you think it is too little"
"Okay, okay, thank you master for his wisdom and telling the truth of this calligraphy and painting, if you don't say it, I thought it was just a good ornament," the young man holding the calligraphy and painting said gratefully.
"Hehe, then let's find a quiet place to talk about this calligraphy and painting."
"I can't ask for it, the younger generation wants to ask you for advice"
Guo Yuhao looked at the boiling crowd and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, why didn't this good thing happen to me.
"Hmph, a bunch of fools, I'm going to be fooled again," Lin Xin'er said on the side.
"Fooled?" Guo Yuhao looked back at Lin Xin'er and asked puzzledly, "What are you doing?" ”
I saw Lin Xin'er's cheeks rosy, her eyes staring at the crowd next to her viciously, gritting her teeth and saying, "You can keep looking."
Guo Yuhao continued to look again, the old man and the young man who bought the painting had already left, but there was still a large crowd in front of the stall.
I saw that the stall owner still had a painful look on his face. After a pause, he said to the crowd: "The stall was closed today, I didn't expect that I just collected this big pile of broken things from the countryside yesterday, and I didn't expect that there was a genuine product, what a bad luck of the real thing."
Hearing the stall owner say that he was going to close the stall, the people next to him were immediately unwilling, especially when they heard the sentence 'collected by the countryside'.
"We still have to buy things, so I want all the things you have here, and you can pay for as much as you want," said a middle-aged man.
"But I really have an urgent matter at home, another day, another day," said the stall owner with a look of embarrassment.
The people next to him were even more anxious when they heard this, thinking that the stall owner was reluctant, afraid that there would be genuine products inside, so they surrounded the small stall that was not big, and made a posture that you were not allowed to leave if you didn't sell it.
"Okay, okay, 500 pieces, if you want to take it," the stall owner hurriedly said when he saw that the posture was wrong.
And then the situation was a crazy rush.
"This bottle is mine, don't take it"
"Oh, don't squeeze it, don't break my jade"
"Grass, this thing is the first thing I looked at"
“………..”
Although there is no guarantee that the rest are treasures, there was a genuine product before, and everyone grabbed it with the idea of being able to produce the next one.
In less than a cup of tea, everything in the stall was snatched up, and even the broken porcelain piece used to press cloth in the corner of the stall was bought by one person for 50 yuan.
Guo Yuhao was stunned when he watched from the side, and couldn't help but say: "I really know how to play!! ”
