Chapter 21: The Confused Stallholders
Li Rui took the Langyao Red Guanyin bottle, continued to walk forward, and encountered several stalls selling porcelain, most of which were modern imitations, and occasionally found one or two pieces of Qing Dynasty and Republic of China porcelain, which were very ordinary, and fine porcelain was difficult to find. Li Rui, who has the ability to identify, has an invisible elevation between vision and taste, and ordinary genuine Qing Dynasty and Republic of China porcelain is not eye-catching, and he has no interest in making a move.
Along the way, there was no shortage of stall owners who took the initiative to sell porcelain to him, all of them were modern imitations, and they all used him as a fat sheep to slaughter him.
Pity.
These unscrupulous vendors would not have thought that today's Li Rui is no longer yesterday's Li Rui. I want to fool him with a piece of garbage, and I am a fool of dreams.
In the early 90s, there were a lot of genuine porcelain in the antique street, but it was far from the level of treasures boasted by the media in the previous life. It is not difficult to understand that the vast majority of fakes still occupy the vast majority, because wealth and silk are very moving, and antique counterfeiting has existed since ancient times, so how can it be transmitted to New China and will be extinct? As a matter of fact, the state-run porcelain factories have specialized in imitating fine porcelain from the Qing Dynasty and the third dynasty, which are specially used to export and earn dollars.
Due to the large export volume of antique porcelain in state-owned factories and the high level of imitation, foreign countries directly mistook Qing Dynasty porcelain as modern handicrafts, and the price could not go up. The most obvious example is RB, the vast majority of ordinary collectors do not have a deep study of Qing Dynasty porcelain, and directly believe that Qing Dynasty porcelain is a handicraft and has no interest in collecting.
This kind of antique porcelain is specially used to export to earn dollars, and it is not allowed to be sold in the country, but there are still many flows to the domestic market.
Because.
Li Rui has found a lot of this kind of antique porcelain in the antique street.
"Hey, little brother, look, my stall is full of exquisite antique porcelain, you must be happy to buy it!" Seeing Li Rui coming over, the stall owner couldn't wait to sell.
Forehead.
Li Rui's face turned dark, and he scolded secretly, I'll smash you in the face!
Looking at yesterday's actions from the current perspective, it is too stupid to be stupid, Li Rui naturally does not want to hear others mention smashing porcelain.
Of course, Li Rui also understands in his heart that it is impossible to let the outside world forget about this, and when he becomes famous in the future, he may be picked up and spread everywhere, but I don't know how the outside world will interpret his porcelain smashing at that time.
"Come, you can look at it at will, pick and choose the best price for you!" The stall owner didn't seem to see Li Rui's face, and greeted with a smile.
Although he didn't hide the old story from the stall owner in his heart, Li Rui did not leave in a negative mood, squatted in front of the stall, and quietly observed.
The scale of the stalls is not small, dozens of large and small pieces of porcelain are placed all over the place. There are no other miscellaneous items, and it seems that the stall owner is a porcelain specialist.
"Yo, you still have a Guanyin bottle that you haven't smashed. There is no red glazed porcelain on my stall, so you can rest assured that it will not be confused. ”
Call.
Li Rui put down the Langyao Red Guanyin bottle, took a deep breath, and looked at the stall owner with a wicked smile, he really had the urge to smash his face.
"I destroyed countless precious porcelain yesterday, and I felt deeply guilty, so I decided to buy a few fine pieces to collect and ......redeem myself," Li Rui said with a serious face.
“……”
The stall owner was silent, his face was confused, he couldn't understand Li Rui's explanation, and secretly thought, is the world of local tyrants so strange.
Successfully shut up the stall owner, Li Rui began to watch carefully.
The eyes are divine eyes, even the magnifying glass is saved, every piece of porcelain can be seen clearly, and the slightest flaws cannot escape the magic eye.
At a glance of fake goods, more than a dozen pieces were found. Most of the remaining porcelain is porcelain from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and on the whole, the quality of the items in this stall is good.
But.
It's just good, Li Rui didn't find a boutique that made his heart beat. Again, ordinary goods are often available, and high-quality products are hard to find!
"Little brother, these are all fine porcelain, take a closer look at how exquisite they are......" Li Rui observed one by one, shaking his head slightly from time to time, and the stall owner couldn't help but point to a piece of porcelain and said.
Well.
Li Rui smiled and hummed lightly.
The porcelain pointed out by the stall owner is an enamel and painted gold amphora with the Qianlong model, which is indeed rich and gorgeous, and exquisite.
It's just that.
It is a modern handicraft, the decorative pattern is stiff and sluggish, not even a fine imitation, and it can bluff the rookie who doesn't understand anything and is full of thoughts about picking up leaks. If he came across this enamel porcelain yesterday, Li Rui would definitely buy it, but now, he doesn't even have the desire to take a second look.
"Hey, you think this is a good thing too. Enamel porcelain is the secret collection of the Qing Dynasty Imperial Palace, the folk are difficult to see the true face, it is the nobility in the porcelain, it is suitable for you to have such an identity collection! If you really want it, give 10,000 yuan to become. Don't look at this price is not low, but a piece of enamel color from the Qianlong Dynasty is definitely worth this price. Seeing that Li Rui did not say a negative word, the stall owner enthusiastically introduced and promoted it.
"What is my identity?" asked Li Rui with a smile.
"Looking at your dress and temperament, it must be either rich or expensive! I'm not afraid to tell you that I have long kept this enamel porcelain, and I have never released it, and I am reluctant to do it, and it is difficult for ordinary bosses to eat it. This is not to see the little brother make a bold move in the antique street, so he took it out. Such a treasure can only be valued by a high roller like you. The stall owner replied vaguely, and quietly brought the topic back to the enamel porcelain.
It is obviously an imitation enamel color with ordinary craftsmanship, and it is a fake goods at a glance, but the stall owner is blowing the sky, as if he has encountered a treasure.
Li Rui is very sure that the stall owner understands the details of things in his heart, and the other party thinks that he is a newcomer and does not understand anything, so he dares to fool him with a fake unscrupulously.
"Something, you can keep it~~" Li Rui's face was calm and lacking in interest.
"Little brother, do you think the price is not appropriate? It doesn't matter, the price can be negotiated......" The stall owner took it for granted that the price was too high.
"You look like I'm a person who is short of money? Hmph, if you don't interest in something, you just give it away for free, and I won't ask for it. Li Rui said in a deep voice. Although he was secretly annoyed by the stall owner's deception, he did not tell the truth, he came to the antique street to Taobao, and he did not want to cause more trouble.
The stall owner was slightly stunned, and his heart was uncertain, thinking that this kid had seen the clue?
I was suspicious in my heart, but there was no panic on my face, this kind of deception is not the first time I have done it, even if it is exposed, it is a temporary embarrassment, it is not a big deal. As long as you can make money, face is nothing!
"It doesn't matter if the little brother is not interested, he doesn't like enamel porcelain, then look at something else!" the stall owner smiled and eased the atmosphere.
"Nope. ”
Li Rui shook his head and refused, got up and left.
There are a lot of genuine products on the stall, but there is not a piece of porcelain from the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, all of which are things from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, which are very ordinary. This kind of porcelain of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China with ordinary quality and huge stock is not said to be seen everywhere, but it is not difficult to concentrate on collecting a few large cars.
……
"Ha, Lao Zheng, didn't you sell a piece of porcelain?" When Li Rui left, the stall owner who was familiar with him approached and asked in surprise.
"At first, it was good, but when I was trying to sell an enamel porcelain, my attitude suddenly changed greatly, maybe the kid saw that there was a problem. It could also be that the price was driven too hard. The stall owner was secretly regretting, and he did not hide the questions of his fellow villagers and peers.
That kid is a big boss, throwing thousands of dollars out, and his brows are not wrinkled, how much do you offer, can you scare him......?"
"Ten thousand. ”
"You, how dare you say it. ”
"That kid made a very happy shot yesterday, I didn't want to take the opportunity to make a profit, who knows......"
……
The local tyrant appeared in the antique street again, and the stall owners were all excited to try, and they took out "treasures" to sell, but they were soon confused.
Well.
Because Li Rui doesn't smash porcelain.
Smash it or not, the stall owners don't care, as long as they can sell it for a price. But Li Rui's actions are no longer as casual as yesterday, and the money is not as generous as yesterday, and every transaction is ruthlessly lowered.
……
The stall owners who were bent on making a fortune were caught off guard, and Li Rui's huge changes made everyone dumbfounded, it was so easy to make money yesterday, why did it change.
Hum.
Stupid.
Looking at the unwilling and confused eyes of many stall owners, Li Rui felt refreshed.
