Chapter 1044: First Arrival on Hong Kong Island
When Tang Yi heard it, this is really too much! It seems that this trip to Hong Kong Island is inevitable, "Okay, then let's go!" ”
After hanging up the phone, Tang Yi smiled at Lao Tan and said, "Yes, this watch can't be returned." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"How much is this watch worth?"
"More than 300,000 yuan, which is not expensive in a famous watch, but it can be given away. Presumably they are also very accurate, too cheap to be embarrassed to sell, too expensive, I will definitely return it. This price is neither high nor low. When the time comes, if I resolutely refuse the appearance fee, this table will be included. ”
After deciding, Tang Yi called Zheng Qilin. However, he told Zheng Qilin that he had a friend who went with him, so he wouldn't be with them.
"Then you book a ticket and tell me the flight time, and then we want to book a hotel for you, so we can book an extra room for your friends." As soon as Zheng Qilin heard that Tang Yi had agreed, his voice was full of joy.
"No, just book one. It's my girlfriend. After Tang Yi finished speaking, he pondered that it was not quite right, as if he was deliberately taking his girlfriend to take advantage of Zheng Qilin, so he added, "She is just going to Hong Kong Island to participate in a jewelry design exhibition." ”
"Okay, Mr. Tang. Then I won't come to the door to resign, let's see you on Hong Kong Island. ”
On Friday morning, Tang Yi and Lin Huanting arrived on Hong Kong Island. Zheng Qilin went to pick it up in person.
Tang Yi introduced Lin Huanting, and Zheng Qilin said with a smile, "Mr. Tang's eyesight seems to be strong in every aspect, Miss Lin is more beautiful than Sister Hong Kong!" ”
Zheng Qilin's impression on Tang Yiliu is not bad, who needs to be understood slowly in his bones, but on this side, it is quite decent, and it is thoughtful, and it does not leak.
Cheng took them to a five-star hotel in Central.
"That's Mr. Tang, our auction is in another hotel across the sea. But this hotel, close to the antique market, after all, the auction is only one day, if you are in Hong Kong Island for a few days, if you are interested, it is convenient for you to visit. Zheng Qilin handed the room card to Tang Yi and said with a smile.
The hotel is indeed a market for Hong Kong Island antique dealers, mainly on Hollywood Road, Lore Road and Morro Street. Zheng Qilin also took this into account.
The antiques and art market on Hong Kong Island naturally developed earlier than that on the mainland. The antiques market on the mainland had not yet emerged in the 80s, but many antique dealers on Hong Kong Island entered the mainland market and took delivery of goods at low prices and without being taken seriously.
At that time, many antique dealers on Hong Kong Island started early, with high vision and wide knowledge. The mainland received goods, Hong Kong Island opened stores, and some people opened branches abroad, and the situation abroad was better than that in China at that time, and they also made a lot of money.
But, what about these years, it's the other way around. The antique art market in mainland China is booming, and a large number of wealthy people have gone to Hong Kong, Macao and abroad to buy antique artworks. These antique dealers on Hong Kong Island, who opened branches abroad in those years, were familiar with foreign markets, and also laid the foundation for the supply of goods, and began to sell antiques from abroad to China again!
As a result, many antique dealers on Hong Kong Island have opened branches in the mainland, but they are mainly concentrated in Yanjing, Huhai, Yangcheng and other big cities.
Zheng Qilin left, Tang Yi and Lin Huanting entered the room, "This Hollywood Road, known as Antique Street, many antique lovers travel to Hong Kong Island, this is a must-come." Tang Yi said with a smile.
"Okay, I don't know you yet? Let's have lunch and go for a stroll! Lin Huanting glanced at Tang Yi.
The two took a break and went out, Lin Huanting had been to Hong Kong Island before, but it was also a play, and she was not so familiar. The two walked casually, planning to find a specialty snack bar.
After passing by a roast goose shop, Tang Yi looked at the signboard, "I have heard of this roast goose shop, I heard that the year is not short, and the taste is good!" ”
"No, it's too fat, summer is almost over, and weight loss is more efficient." Lin Huanting gave it no.
As a result, after a stall, Tang Yi took a look, and a delicate waitress came up to greet her, cordial and enthusiastic, Lin Huanting saw that the signature dish had "tomato and egg noodles", so she pulled Tang Yi to sit down.
Tang Yi looked at Lin Huanting, "Okay, I'll buy half a roast goose and bring it back to the hotel when I go back, and I'll eat it as a supper when you fall asleep." ”
"You can't eat such fatty things for supper!" The waitress giggled.
"Leave him alone." Lin Huanting smiled at the waiter, "Pretty girl, a tomato egg is powdered, and a lemon honey is crispy!" ”
Tang Yi smiled bitterly, ordered a toast with eggplant cow doll noodles, a toast with milk sauce, and added a pork chop egg crispy. Both of them asked for a cup of salted lemon seven.
The two finished eating, pulled up the map on their phones, and walked to Hollywood Road.
Hollywood, in fact, is the transliteration of holly, this street is the earliest street built since the opening of Hong Kong Island. The whole street is densely packed with shops, and the old style is strong, and the architecture is very distinctive. Among them, the antique shops are scattered large and small, and they are very different from each other. The big one has several floors, like a small antique city; The small one, which is one or two square meters, looks like a newsstand.
Tang Yi and Lin Huanting entered from the east exit of Hollywood Road, where there is an old shop selling sugar cane juice. The two of them took a glass and walked in as they drank it.
"An old store is an old store, and the taste is really good!" Tang Yi praised while walking into a small store.
After a general look, this store is also dominated by modern things and high imitations. It seems that this good thing is getting harder and harder to find these days.
Just around the corner of the store, there is a straight-edged piece of rosewood nearly two meters high, typical of the Ming Dynasty style.
The term frame sounds relatively unfamiliar to ordinary people, but in fact, it is a simple and vivid image, which is a cabinet with a "window lattice". This thing is more common in the south, and this cupboard is covered with "window lattices", what is the benefit? It is generally for food, which is breathable, so that the food is not easy to spoil.
Southerners commonly call this kind of cabinet "chicken cage cupboard", which is very vivid. There are also in the north, but there are relatively few of them, and the northerners have also given it a name, called "angry cat". This one is even more vivid, the cat can see the food inside, but it can't eat it!
Tang Yi glanced at it twice and stroked it twice, and at this time, a fat old man with glasses stepped forward, looking like a shopkeeper, "Hou Shengzi, do you like it?" ”
"The wood is good." Tang Yi smiled.
"New!" The old man originally spoke Cantonese, but after listening to Tang Yi speak Mandarin, he reacted after saying "Xinyu", "This thing is good wood and workmanship, but it looks like a Ming Dynasty style, but it is actually new and imitated." ”
Of course, Tang Yi had already seen it, but when he heard the old man say this, he was still taken aback, this antique shop, is there anyone who does this kind of business? Tell the customer directly if it's a new imitation?
