Less than seven o'clock in the morning, Li Rui woke up, did not lie in bed, quickly got up from the bed, rushed into the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth.

Well.

Since using the purple soul incense, Li Rui's sleep quality is getting better and better, and after waking up, he will not be half-dead like before, and he has no energy at all.

After eating breakfast briefly, Li Rui left the hotel with his bag on his back, and his goal today was very clear, that is, to go to the cultural relics store, which should also be his last stop in Shenzhen. There's no way, seeing that the Spring Festival is approaching, if you don't go home, I'm afraid that my parents won't let me enter the house after I go back.

……

It takes about 256 minutes to drive to the heritage shop.

Looking at the magnificent store, Li Rui's heart was shocked, and at the same time, he also had a few more installments in his heart. Walking into the store, a quaint atmosphere comes to the face, there are all kinds of antiques in the counter, and there are more on the shelves in the back, which are densely packed and can't be seen.

The store was deserted, with only two young foreigners quietly watching.

"Want something?"

A young man in his early twenties came over to entertain Li Rui, smiling and soft-spoken, looking like a salesman in a cultural relics store.

"I'll take a look!"

Li Rui replied with a smile, if nothing else, the main thing he bought was still porcelain antiques, but he was not in a hurry to show his intentions.

The first time I came to the cultural relics store, I wanted to see more and broaden my horizons.

"Okay, then you can look at it casually! When I met someone who was satisfied, I told me that it doesn't matter if you don't find the items you want, you can ask directly, the space on the counter and shelves is limited, and many antiques have not been put out. ”

Well.

Li Rui smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood.

When the young man saw Li Rui's posture, he didn't speak again, antiques are not as good as other commodities, and the sales effect is not great, so the guests have to like it.

For strange guests, if you don't understand the preferences of the other party, you will naturally not sell rashly.

When the young man left, Li Rui didn't care, and watched carefully in front of a counter, which displayed all kinds of wood carvings, bamboo carvings and other small ornaments. I don't know what age it is, but if it can be sold in a cultural relics store, it shouldn't be a fake.

Observe several showcases and shelves in a row, ancient jade, coins, Buddha statues, ancient inkstones, etc., but unfortunately not to mention the authenticity of the identification, even the most basic understanding is not available.

Li Rui smiled bitterly and shook his head, without basic knowledge, he didn't feel good at all when he looked at these things...... Alas, let's honestly go and see the porcelain counter.

"Manager Feng, are you ready for what I want?"

The quiet and peaceful atmosphere of the store was suddenly ruined by a rough sound. The two young foreigners looked at the situation dissatisfied, and then buried their heads in the things and continued to look at things. Li Rui frowned slightly, wanting to see who was so unqualified, turned his head, and looked at the two middle-aged men standing side by side at the door, a little surprised, he actually saw an acquaintance.

"Ha, Boss Yang, as soon as I receive your call, the things are ready, just waiting for you to pick up the goods. Manager Feng, who was about fifty years old, hurriedly walked out of the counter and greeted him with a smile. "Mr. Zhou, are you also coming with Boss Yang to see the goods?"

"Hello, Manager Feng. ”

"Manager Feng, I know that there will be no problem with the antiques sold in the cultural relics store. But this time, the things I wanted were not my personal collection, but to be given to a very important elder as a birthday gift, and there could be no mistake, so I invited Mr. Zhou to help palm the eye. Boss Yang smiled.

"Understand, understand......" Manager Feng smiled repeatedly.

Gift-giving is a way to communicate emotions, but also the tradition of the Chinese people, the selection of celebrity calligraphy and painting gifts is very suitable, the value is higher and not very conspicuous, but also reflects the personal taste of the elegant, if the other party also loves this mouth, it is more perfect. But if there is a problem with the calligraphy and painting sent, it will not be beautiful. Therefore, how cautious it is, it is understandable.

"Boss Yang, Teacher Zhou, please sit inside, I'll go get something for you first. Manager Feng greeted and went to pick up the things in person.

……

"Li Rui?"

Forehead.

Li Rui paused, hesitated for a moment, and then moved over. Originally, I happened to meet Zhou Xuexue, and found that the other party was with a friend, and it seemed that there was something important, so I didn't rush forward. I was going to wait for the week to finish studying, and then go over to say hello, but I didn't expect to be discovered by the other party.

"Brother Zhou!"

Li Rui stepped forward and said with a smile.

"It's really you, I thought I was dazzled. Zhou Xuexue's face was full of surprise, they just had dinner together last night, and they met again today.

"Teacher Zhou, who is this little brother?"

Boss Yang was puzzled, Zhou Xuexue is nearly forty years old, is a well-known expert in Shenzhen antique shop, he usually has to politely call Mr. Zhou, a teenager actually called Brother Zhou, the relationship is very unusual, he is not puzzled, not surprised.

"Boss Yang, let me introduce you, this is Brother Li Rui, who has a very amazing talent in porcelain appreciation, far beyond what we can compare. Li Rui, this is the boss of Yang Jintong, a well-known real estate developer in Shenzhen......" Zhou Xuexue stood in the middle and introduced the two of them.

"Hello, Boss Yang. ”

"Ha, I'm friends with Teacher Zhou, if you don't mind, just call Brother Yang. Yang Jintong said with a smile.

……

"Hey, Li Rui, I didn't find anything good yesterday, I went to the cultural relics store to Taobao? Buy things in the cultural relics store, go to the inner cabinet to see, what is there to see in this outer cabinet?" Zhou Xuexue asked with a smile.

Inner cabinet, outer cabinet......

Li Rui's eyes showed doubts, the first time he heard about it, he didn't understand the difference.

"Brother Zhou, it's the first time I've visited the cultural relics store, what's the meaning of the inner cabinet and the outer cabinet?" Li Rui looked embarrassed and asked in a low voice.

No wonder.

Zhou Xuexue had such an expression, and then explained: "The antiques in the outer cabinet are ordinary goods with a large number of surviving in the world, and some of them have been restored, generally for Hong Kong, treasure islands, foreign guests, etc., there are no export restrictions on this part, and you can take them with you casually when you buy them." The antiques in the inner cabinet should be of a higher quality and are only open to the domestic public, and the antiques purchased here are not allowed to be resold or gifted, especially not to foreigners. Some cultural relics stores subdivide the inner cabinet into a first-class inner cabinet and a second-class medium cabinet, the first class inner cabinet is reserved for high-ranking domestic officials and cultural celebrities, and the second class medium cabinet is for the domestic public. ”

"I didn't expect there to be so many doorways hidden in the artifact shop. Li Rui sighed.

Li Rui reacted and asked, "Why didn't the salesman take me into the inner cabinet? I am not a foreign guest or an overseas Chinese." ”

Hear the words.

Zhou Xuexue and Yang Jintong both laughed.

Is it that funny?

Li Rui looked at the two laughing people, confused.

"Brother Li Rui, you don't know anything. The quality of antiques in the inner cabinet and the outer cabinet is a notch apart, but the price does not widen the gap. If you don't take the initiative to ask to enter the inner cabinet, the cultural relics store will not say anything, so they will treat you as a foreign guest. Yang Jintong took the initiative to explain.

"Ordinary people don't know this, but people in the industry know it, and it's an open secret. Some buyers from Hong Kong and Treasure Island, who have been active in China all the year round, also know it, but it is not easy for them to enter the inner cabinet, and even if they buy antiques, it is difficult to appear legally. Zhou Xue said.

"The people of China, Hong Kong, and Baodao are all the same, how can you distinguish between cultural relics stores? Hong Kong buyers who know the secret take the initiative to enter the inner cabinet, and they can't distinguish them, right?"

"Ha, this is simple, you have to provide your ID card, household registration book or work permit to enter the inner cabinet, and you have to register the form after shopping. Zhou Xue said.

Li Rui was surprised.

In the 90s, you can use bearer to open an account in a bank, but I didn't expect to go into the inner cabinet to buy a few antiques, but you have to provide your ID card, household registration book or work card, which is a bit strict.
