After a long time, the ancient reluctantly raised his head, looked at the seller and asked:

"Where did you come from?"

The seller was stunned when he heard this, this ghost market has been bought and sold for many years, and he has never asked about the source and origin of things, but the ancient one asked like this, which made the audience a little confused.

Lotte was also puzzled, and looked at the object in the ancient hand, which was a bronze ornament, a bit like a pendant, and a bit like something cut out of the utensil.

This thing, the shape is similar to the pattern of sitting on the tiger and watching the sky, the patina is stained, but the texture is clear, but only one side is a pattern, and the other side is a plane, so Le Tian subconsciously thinks that this thing is an object that is divided from something.

But after looking at this thing carefully, I felt that something was wrong, and in the audience, Lotte said:

"Ancient, can you show me this object?"

Ancient handed the object to Lotte, "You can show it, long eyes." ”

Lotte took it and looked at it carefully, and Gu turned his head to look at the seller, and said apologetically:

"Young man, I know it's a bad rule to ask about the origin of this thing, but you don't have all the things, and if you sell them alone, the price will be greatly discounted."

"Sir, I only have this thing, I really don't know it's not complete, sir, can you tell me what it is?"

The ancient twisted his beard and said: "The origin of your thing is not simple, it seems to be a decoration, a pendant and an ornament, but it is not, Lotte, do you see it?" ”

After the Lotte appreciation, he handed the object back to the ancient and said:

"If you see it correctly, this thing should be the Liaojin Tiger Fu."

"That's right." Then the ancient said regretfully: "This thing is the Tiger Talisman of the Liaojin Period, but it's a pity, it's a pity!" ”

As soon as the onlookers heard that it was a troop transfer tiger talisman, they were all interested, and they came forward to watch and appreciate it.

Lotte didn't care, sat down and chatted with the ancient, "In all dynasties, the tiger talisman is divided into two, the general who holds the military power is the right tiger talisman, and the emperor holds the left tiger talisman. But on a single one, I really can't estimate the price. ”

The ancient said thoughtfully: "That's right, don't talk about you, I can't estimate it, in the eyes of the people you love, this tiger talisman can be worth a fortune, if in the eyes of people you don't like, he is worthless, if the two are combined, the collection value is sky-high, but if it is a single one, the value is really not very high." ”

A group of people next to him also put down the tiger talisman with regret when they heard this, and whispered one by one, and the buyer looked at this posture and asked tentatively:

"Ancient, I really only have one of these things, you see, you can't let me come for nothing today, you give me an estimate!"

The ancient thought thoughtfully, "In the past auction history, there are two kinds of tiger talismans such as jade carving and bronze, and the objects before the Ming Dynasty, the transaction price of a single tiger talisman ranges from 1 million to 200,000 yuan, your tiger talisman belongs to the rare tiger talisman of the Liaojin period, and there is no similar Liaojin tiger talisman in the world, but according to my estimate, the price of the combined tiger talisman should not be less than 1 million, but if it is only one side, the price of the regular channel should be about 100,000." ”

"So much?" The seller frowned and muttered.

That's when the onlookers began to discuss.

"No, the tiger talisman itself belongs to the miscellaneous category, and there are few people who collect it, and it is normal that the price is not high."

"Besides, his tiger talisman is not complete, if it is just one, even fewer people will collect it."

Just when everyone was whispering, Zhang Yunfang picked up the tiger talisman and looked at it carefully for a while, then took Lotte's hand and whispered:

"Lotte, I want this tiger talisman."

Seeing that Zhang Yunfang didn't seem to be joking, Lotte frowned and said, "It's useless, this thing doesn't make up a pair, it's not worth anything at all." ”

"It's not." Zhang Yunfang whispered in Lotte's ear: "In my house, my father seems to have another piece, as if it is exactly the same as this one, I want to see if this can be made into a pair with my father's tiger talisman." ”

Lotte suddenly became interested, pulled Zhang Yunfang out of the onlookers, and whispered:

"Are you sure, if it weren't for the same, this tiger talisman would be basically useless and worthless!"

"I guess so, it's the same as I remember."

Lotte nodded, "Okay, leave it to me." ”

Back to the onlooker center, everyone was still discussing for this tiger talisman, and the seller also knew that the price of this tiger talisman could not be too high, so he wrapped it in silk in disappointment and withdrew from the crowd, and the next seller also took out his own items, which were appreciated by the ancient.

The Tiger Talisman seller retreated to his seat, bowed his head in contemplation and was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Lotte leaned over, sat down and asked:

"What is the reserve price of this thing in your heart?"

The seller smiled, "Hey, what else can there be, I didn't know what it was before, so I took it in a daze, thinking that I could make a windfall, but I don't know, alas!" ”

"How much did you lose?" Lotte asked again.

"I didn't pay either, if 100,000 is sold, let's keep it!"

Lotte smiled, "Having said that, but you also know the ghost market, everyone knows that the objects traded here must not be like a regular auction house, if your tiger talisman is sold for 100,000 yuan, it is estimated that it will not be sold in the ghost market." ”

"So I thought, wait a few days, and go to the auction house to see if it's okay?" The seller asked tentatively.

"It's not impossible, but if you want to sell this thing, it is estimated that you will not be able to sell it in a few years."

"Why?" The seller questioned.

"Everyone in the antique circle knows that the value of a thing, in terms of the number of collectors, the value of your tiger talisman itself is not high, if you meet someone who has the other half, maybe you can give you a high price to take away, but if you can't meet this kind of person, who is willing to spend 100,000 yuan to collect half of the thing?"

"Hey, what then?" The seller sighed and muttered.

Lotte smiled, "If you can receive the real thing, don't hide it, everyone knows the origin of your tiger talisman, how much did you receive?" ”

"Uh......" the seller was a little embarrassed, "10,000." ”

Lotte smiled confidently, that's right, he already knew that this tiger talisman was definitely not about 100,000 yuan, why is it so sure, first of all, the tiger talisman has been passed down to this day, none of them have been handed down from ancestors, and they are basically all unearthed from the inverted bucket.

The implication is that this thing is dug out by the inverted bucket, and then sold to some people on the black market, and the seller in front of him looks like a newcomer who has not been in the industry for a long time, and it is estimated that he also found a way to receive this thing, but how to receive one is unknown.

Now that he took it out and sold it, the price was unsatisfactory, and he didn't pretend anymore, so he quoted the purchase price.

Lotte smiled: "In this way, I won't let you lose money, this tiger talisman, I received 20,000 yuan, what do you think?" ”

"20,000?" The seller looked embarrassed, "You can't go up any more?" ”

Lotte smiled and stood up and said: "After accepting your thing, I still have to spend a lot of time looking for another piece, if I find this thing, it can still appreciate in value, but I can't find it, do you know, in the history of the auction, the transaction price of a single tiger talisman has not exceeded 10,000 yuan." ”

"This ......"

"If you don't believe it, you can check, I'll give you 20,000, it's already very high." Lotte turned around and was about to leave.

"Okay, I'll sell this thing!"

Lotte smiled evilly, the treacherous plan succeeded, turned around and nodded to the seller, and whispered in Zhang Yunfang's ear, "20,000, go get the money!" ”

"Okay!" Zhang Yunfang walked away, Lotte looked at the seller and said, "The money will be sent to you later, you can take the things first, and then complete the transaction." ”

The two shook hands and the deal was completed.

Lotte left this position satisfied, but just as he was talking, people kept coming up on the second floor, and there was an endless stream of lively atmosphere.

Most of the people who watched the theater knew each other, everyone greeted each other, and the sellers also increased, and gradually half of the 100 seats were occupied.

Lotte returned to his place and sat down, and at this moment, a chattering voice came from the staircase, "Pull me out of the bed in the middle of the night and drink tea, Dad, what are you going to do?" ”

This person yawned and chattered, and his voice was not loud, but after Lotte heard it, he subconsciously looked at the staircase, that's right, this person who chattered Lotte knew, and his classmate Qian Hengze was right.

Qian Hengze walked upstairs and glanced at it nonchalantly, "Hey, there are so many night owls here!" ”

"You don't have to say a few words, let's go!"

Boss Qian walked upstairs from behind, and after pushing Qian Hengze upstairs, he saw that the people were basically complete, and greeted them one by one, "I'm sorry, I'm late!" ”

Several people who were more familiar with each other greeted each other with compliments, and Boss Qian talked to them by himself, Qian Hengze yawned sleepily, and stood in a daze and was about to fall asleep.

Lotte stood up and shouted, "Qian Hengze! ”

Hearing someone shouting at him, Qian Hengze subconsciously looked around, the people in his eyes were either old men or businessmen, and he didn't see any young people, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and continued to scan, and finally saw a person waving to him.

"Yo, Lotte, why are you here?"

Qian Hengze walked over, patted it on Lotte's outstretched palm, and sat down as a greeting, "You haven't slept in the middle of the night, and you came here to drink tea?" ”

Lotte Wan'er poured Qian Hengze a cup of tea and handed it over and said, "Do you know what kind of place this is?" ”

"Teahouse, can it still be a ghost building?" Qian Hengze picked up the teacup and said.

"That's right, this is the ghost building."

"Poof!" Qian Hengze took a sip of tea and sprayed it all on Lotte's face.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, what was that, what did you just say?"

Lotte wiped his face and said with a stiff expression: "Here, it is indeed a ghost building, I don't believe you look at these people carefully." ”

After Lotte finished speaking, Qian Hengze felt a chill down his spine, and slowly turned his head sideways to look around, the lights in the teahouse were very dim, everyone's faces were very gloomy, although everyone was talking, the atmosphere was definitely not ordinary, and it seemed that someone was looking at him with strange eyes, this smile was so eerie and terrifying.
