Chapter 259: First Taobao

There are several antique markets in Los Angeles, but the largest one is the antique world in the eastern section of Tiandu Road, which is adjacent to the Los Angeles Ceramic City and belongs to the antique market that developed in the later period. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info business projects are very complete, old ceramics, jade, bronzes, coins, stamps, calligraphy and painting, Buddha statues, miscellaneous, Yan Tao came here for the first time, I feel like I have entered another time and space, there is almost no modern thing around me, all old, old. However, Yan Tao later discovered that most of these objects that looked old and old were actually modern products.

Antiques also have high imitations!!

And absolutely realistic!!

Fortunately, Yan Tao has made up for a period of antique knowledge before, although there is more theory than practice, but from several antique appreciation books to get a very practical experience, that is, to see more and buy less.

In the antique industry, the water is not ordinarily deep.

Yan Tao had only been in this antique world for more than an hour, and several groups of people had pulled him to show him his objects, and almost all of them had a story.

Similar to the ancestors of the family who were officials, and then the family fell into the middle of the road, and the old objects left behind have been hidden at home, and now they have caught up with the family's economic problems, and they have to go to the market to find buyers......

The twists and turns of a story are moving, and those who write novels professionally can live in vain, and the designation of the soft ears is believed.

Then he took out the object and let you see it very preciously, but he wouldn't let you touch it unless you agreed to buy it.

Yan Tao was also curious at first, listened to their stories, looked at their objects, but in the end he didn't buy any of them.

Why?

It's all fakes!! Some are high imitations, ordinary people's eyesight can't distinguish the real from the fake, and some are shoddy defective products at all, so they dare to take it out to deceive people, and Yan Tao is really drunk.

Fortunately, he has divine sense, and can use his divine sense to detect the breath on these objects, last time in Zhou Tong's treasure room, Yan Tao tried to use his divine sense to explore the antiques he collected, he didn't think about using this to identify the authenticity of the antiques, at that time, it was just because after copying the inscription gold text on the ancient ding, he accidentally found that there was a special breath in the ancient ding, so he casually scanned other antiques with his divine sense, but found such a rule, The older the antiques, the stronger this breath is, and later Yan Tao made up for the knowledge of antiques, and the combination of the two, Yan Tao found a way to judge the approximate age of these objects.

However, this time, he walked around the antique world for a long time, but he didn't see a single real thing.

The water of this antique business is also a little deeper!! Yan Tao couldn't help but sigh, if it weren't for his divine sense, he would have been killed by those liars.

"Little brother, come and see these objects of mine, I have all old things here, look at this plate, the absolute official kiln of the Qianlong period." A dark, thin, short-looking man greeted Yan Tao when he saw him passing by his stall. The man looked like a little imp crawling out of the ground, and he was thin, and he looked obscene.

Yan Tao had already walked out of the center of the antique world at this time, and now came to the periphery, where there were mostly small stalls, throwing a rag on the ground, and dozens or hundreds of objects were placed on it, which looked like that.

At this time, the black thin little ghost man was holding a blue and white porcelain plate and signaling to Yan Tao.

Yan Tao casually swept his divine sense towards this blue and white porcelain plate, damn it, it's still Qianlong, it was about the same the year before last, this is simply an ordinary modern product.

However, Yan Tao didn't break it for this person, and said with a smile: "That's a good thing, you better keep it yourself, there is nothing to serve when you go back, this can still come in handy." ”

Yan Tao's words are very euphemistic, but the stall owner who has a ghost in his heart listened, his face was red, and he didn't say more, his own things were true or false, he naturally cleared the door, this plate was wholesaled by him for ten yuan from the ceramic market, and after buying it, he specially processed it, at this time he still has fifty or sixty at home, and he just wants to fool some guys who don't know how to do it, and the price is generally two hundred to three hundred, so there are still people who are fooled, and three or four have been sold this month, don't look at only three or four, that is also profitable. However, he didn't expect Yan Tao to just glance at it, and then said the above words, which made the stall owner a little weak-hearted. As soon as people heard this, they saw the face of this, and this was an expert.

I can't see that the person in front of me is young, but his eyesight is amazing.

Yan Tao didn't walk away immediately, he turned around for a long time, and he had already developed a habit of passing through a stall, he had to use his divine sense to sweep the things of this stall, although now he no longer had hope in this antique world, but he always came back, and he was still a little unwilling.

Anyway, using his divine sense to scan these objects would not cost him too much divine sense.

Therefore, before Yan Tao left, he still subconsciously put his consciousness out, and swept it on the stall owner's stall.

Yan Tao fixed his eyes on the object that was swept out by his divine sense, but it was a small blue and white porcelain vase more than ten centimeters long, and there was a crack at the mouth of the bottle.

There are also several small porcelain pieces similar to this small porcelain vase, there are small porcelain gourds, there are small porcelain vases, in comparison, this small blue and white porcelain is not so eye-catching, but Yan Tao swept it with his divine sense, and found that this small porcelain vase contained a thick qi, which could even be comparable to several antiques he saw in Zhou Tong's treasure room.

Yan Tao stopped and returned to the stall, but he didn't immediately go to take the small porcelain vase to take a closer look, but deliberately stayed in front of several other objects for half a minute, and looked at several imitation antiques one by one, which was also done so as not to arouse the suspicion of the stall owner. The stall owner saw that Yan Tao stopped in front of his stall and did not leave, and he had not looked at a few of his high-quality imitation porcelain, but he was relieved. But now looking at Yan Tao's appearance, he is young and young, like a high school student, and the few people and things he is fiddling with are some inferior imitations. Generally, anyone who knows a little bit can see one, two, three, but he watched there for a long time.

The stall owner had already made a judgment on Yan Tao at this time, this should be a little kid who had just come into contact with antiques, and it was estimated that after reading a few books, he felt that he had become an expert in identification. This kind of young man is the easiest to self-aggrandize, but looking at Yantao's clothes, he is wearing high-end sportswear, and his family background should be good.

There is a play!! The stall owner was overjoyed and decided to use his trick on the young man in front of him.

"Little brother, this vase in your hand is not simple, I bought it at a high price from a fellow countryman, you look at the glaze on it, the texture, the absolute Jingde official kiln blue and white, and the following is also a payment, you see, the Ming Dynasty, the absolute Ming Dynasty blue and white."

"How much?" Yan Tao seemed to be moved, and asked about the price.

"This count, if you honestly want it." The stall owner held out five fingers.

"Five hundred!!" Yan Tao also learned about the market of antiques in advance, a Ming Dynasty blue and white at least five or six hundred thousand, but he could see at a glance that the fake in his hand can no longer be fake, he said five hundred, it is estimated that the cost of this boss is less than fifty.

"Five thousand!!" The stall owner said.

Yan Tao scolded his mother in his heart, he really dared to ask for it. Is bullying Lao Tzu a layman?

Yan Tao even put the blue and white vase back.

"Five thousand is too expensive. I'll take a look at something else. Hey, these gadgets are pretty chic. How much does this little gourd cost? Yan Tao moved to the side of the small porcelain utensils before, picked up a small porcelain gourd, and asked.

"This thing, if you want a hundred." The stall owner also regretted that the price was too fierce just now, the porcelain vase he bought for forty-five yuan, and it was already a huge profit to sell it for five hundred.

So at this time, he was a little more conservative. These small pieces of porcelain were given to him by his family for free when he bought them once. Buying a random piece is pure profit, and he didn't pay much attention to these small porcelains, so he didn't report two hundred or three hundred, directly one hundred, although it was dark enough.

"So, boss, I look very chic on these little porcelain, and I want to buy them back for my girlfriend." This, this, and these two, I want them, you cheaper, eighty-one, if it's okay, I'll take it, if not, I'm not wasting time. Yan Tao stood up, pointed to the three small porcelain vessels he had selected, which naturally included the small blue and white porcelain vase, and said to the stall owner, he had made a posture to leave.

The stall owner thought about it for a long time, he sat here all morning, did not open, and saw that most of the afternoon had passed, like his kind of work with the nature of the pit, sometimes it is not so easy for someone to take the bait, is it to meet a customer, he does not want to let go, besides, those small porcelain, did not cost him a penny, how much is sold is how much net profit.

"Okay, little brother, since you really want it, eighty-five one, you take it." The stall owner is also very good at acting, and the expression on his face looks very sad.

"Okay, then you can wrap it up for me." Yan Tao didn't want to argue about the five yuan anymore, so he took out four red tickets directly from his pocket.

The money and goods were settled, Yan Tao carried a small woven bag, turned around and left. The stall owner got three hundred and forty yuan, and wondered if he should go to the small restaurant in the evening to improve the food with two hard dishes. (To be continued.) )
