The bustling cityscape is also the same, and it is no different. High-rise buildings, busy traffic, and noisy sounds come and go, like high-pitched and passionate string music, endlessly. Fang Yuan was also accustomed to it, turning a deaf ear, strolling through the streets, looking left and right, thinking about what gift to buy?

There are so many things to choose from for birthday gifts. It seems difficult to send out new ideas. It seems too vulgar to buy only the expensive ones. But cheap things, and some can't get their hands on......

When Fang Yuan hesitated, he suddenly saw a familiar figure passing by at the end of the street. Suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, and then instinctively pulled out his legs and hurried after him.

But when he got to the corner of the street, the man was gone.

"Where did you run, you were still there?" Fang Yuan frowned and looked at it, only to see that there were many people and cars at the entrance of the street, and the river was endless, and when a person walked here, it was like dripping water into the sea, completely melting, no wonder there was no trace.

"Maybe it's a mistake?" Fang Yuan doubted himself.

After some consideration, Fang Yuan's eyes lit up, but he had another gain. On the side of the street, there is a very spacious antique shop.

The antique shop is divided into two floors, the hall on the first floor is composed of three doors, the interior decoration is very gorgeous and retro, and the bright lights are on in the daytime, revealing the beauty of antique and antique.

Fang Yuan glanced at it, feeling that there might be something he needed in the store, and immediately walked over lightly. When he reached the door, he stopped and took a look.

The shop is wide, and the decoration should be more elegant, otherwise it will look empty. The owner of this antique shop. Undoubtedly, I understand this truth, so I am not stingy with money in the decoration of the store. The paintings are beautiful. Various red, yellow, and white palace lights. It hung in the air, and between the flashes of light, it was like a dream.

Fang Yuan looked at it for a moment, and finally walked in. As soon as he entered the door, the moment his footsteps stepped on the floor of the store, his face suddenly became a little more surprised, and he couldn't help but look down.

The floor of the shop is very clean and spotless. But this floor. But it's not ordinary tiles, or wooden floors, but stones, floors cut into stone.

Fang Yuan's eyesight was not bad, and he was naturally able to tell the difference between a tile and a stone. The most important thing is that he also knows that these paving stones are probably not so simple......

At this moment, a beautiful one was wearing a plain white cheongsam. The swaying girl walked over, with a smile on her face, and greeted warmly: "Hello sir, welcome." ”

"Hmm......" Fang Yuan nodded slightly. directly explained the intention: "In two days, I want to celebrate the birthday of an old man, and I plan to buy a gift for the occasion." ”

Hear this. The girl was even more happy, and hurriedly said, "Sir." Here, please, let's sit down and talk slowly. ”

The service of this store is more user-friendly. In the spacious space, sofa chairs are reserved for hospitality. Fang Yuan walked over and sat down, and the girl came over directly with a cup of tea.

"Thank you......" Fang Yuan looked at the antiques and antiques in the store while drinking tea, and asked casually: "Do you have any introduction about the birthday gift?" ”

"I don't know what the psychological price of Mr. is?" The girl asked a very practical question.

"Well...... Fang Yuan groaned and smiled slightly: "As long as the thing is really good, the price is not a problem." ”

Of course, Fang Yuan is qualified to say this, after all, with his current net worth, he can also be called a local tyrant who is not bad for money. I guess the things in the antique shop won't be so expensive that even he can't afford them.

At the same time, the girl's eyes were bright, and she couldn't help but secretly observe Fang Yuan. Even though she's not a person who judges people by their appearance, she can't believe what her guests say, can she?

At least after observing, the girl also felt that Fang Yuan was not the kind of person who was open-mouthed, and she was somewhat confident. When you open your door to do business, the most welcome person must be this kind of rich and willful customer.

Suddenly, the girl's smile became more and more keen, and she hurriedly said, "Sir, why don't we go up to the second floor and have a look?" There are more things upstairs and the quality is good. ”

"Yes." Fang Yuan didn't care, and followed the girl to the second floor.

The space on the second floor is similar to the first floor, but it is a little narrower. The main thing is that there are a few more VIP rooms on the second floor, which are used to receive large customers. If you are in the VIP room, close the door again, and the transaction information will not be leaked out easily, which has a good confidentiality effect......

Now Fang Yuan enjoyed such treatment, and under the invitation of his sister, he walked into the VIP room.

The VIP room is elegantly furnished, similar to a bedroom study, with not only hot water and fragrant tea, but also a variety of sweets and pastries, deliberately creating a comfortable atmosphere and making people feel at home.

Fang Yuancai sat down, and the girl came over with a book similar to a picture album, and said with a smile: "Sir, the fine antiques in our store are basically here, you can browse first." If there's anything you like, I'll show you it. ”

"Good ......" Fang Yuan nodded happily, feeling that this process was good. Just like buying a house, looking at the samples first and then going to the site can save a lot of time.

The album is quite thick, similar to the hard paper pages of a picture textbook, and the "works" with bright colors are carefully printed. These works are naturally all kinds of antiques.

This antique shop is huge, and naturally there are a lot of things. However, the most abundant and diverse are calligraphy and painting, porcelain, and jade. Famous calligraphy and painting, Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain, and modern jade jewelry are undoubtedly the best-selling things in the market.

In the antique market, calligraphy and painting, especially the calligraphy and painting of famous artists, no matter which dynasty or generation of famous calligraphy and painting, has always been the object of everyone's pursuit. It is mainly the material of calligraphy and painting, which determines that it is easily destroyed in the process of circulation, so it must be passed on from generation to generation less and less. Things are scarce, and the price is definitely higher, which is quite normal.

As for the porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially the official kiln porcelain of the imperial court, it was the royal family that spared no expense, gathered the best craftsmen, the most powerful painters, and used the best quality materials to make porcelain that was more expensive than gold.

Therefore, the official kiln porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties can be called the peak of the great achievement in the history of porcelain, which is difficult for later generations to surpass, and naturally has repeatedly created a record-breaking transaction price.

As for jade jewelry, it is the opposite of other antiques. Generally speaking, antiques must have a certain amount of time to precipitate, and after being circulated for dozens or hundreds of years, the price will gradually increase and appreciate with the length of time.

However, jade jewelry is a little different, except for some exquisite ancient jade, or modern carved jade jewelry is more attractive. After all, modern technology has developed, and carvers can make full use of various high-end equipment to carry out the most meticulous processing of jade, so that jade exudes unparalleled beauty.

It is not that the craftsmanship of ancient craftsmen is inferior to that of modern craftsmen, but the main reason is that the tools at hand are very different, and it is not a crime of war. Moreover, in the process of ancient jade jewelry, except for very few beautiful jade, the surface is thick and crystal clear, and it is very beautiful. The big tribe things are all unearthed, and there are many spots, which are not beautiful in modern aesthetics.

After all, the ancient beauty of those spots on the unearthed ancient jade is not something that everyone can appreciate, and modern ordinary people still appreciate the fine beauty of modern jewelry.

Fang Yuan was similar, after opening a page of the album at random, his gaze froze. I saw the thing in the album, it was a finely carved longevity peach. Judging from the album, the volume of Shou peach is not small, it seems to be carved with white jade, the bottom is a green peach leaf, but the tip of the peach has a little pink, the shape is very realistic, pink and attractive, lifelike.

Looking at the list price, it is quite an auspicious number. Two sixes are headed, followed by four zeros, six hundred and sixty thousand. Dare to mark such a high price, which is enough to show that something is either a pit or a value for money.

The girl next to her was also very eye-catching, and when she saw Fang Yuan staring at something, she immediately introduced: "Sir, I just want to recommend this to you, this is a longevity peach carved by Hetian jade, it is a handwriting from a famous jade carver in Beijing, the quality is very perfect, and it is indeed the best gift for birthday." ”

"Hmm......" Fang Yuan looked at it for a moment, then nodded and said, "Things seem to be good, you go and take a look." ”

"Good!" The girl hurriedly responded, and left with a smile. Although she said that she sold something, she didn't have any commission or anything like that, but if her performance was good, she would also have a bonus at the end of the month. With this motivation, she was naturally full of enthusiasm and went out briskly to get something.

The girl went away, but she didn't come back for a long time.

At the beginning, Fang Yuan didn't have any special feelings, and continued to look through the album. After all, the things in the album are very exquisite, and he also reads them with relish. But when he finished reading the album, he found that the girl hadn't come back yet, which made him a little strange.

"What's going on?" Fang Yuan was inexplicable, you must know that he is a big customer, and he is a customer who has indicated that he wants to buy valuables, the girl is so slack, do you want to do business?

When Fang Yuan was puzzled, the door of the VIP room opened again. At this time, two people walked in, starting with a thin middle-aged man in a neat uniform, as if he was a manager or something. Behind him is the cautious, trembling salesman girl.

With a glance, Fang Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, and he was a little clear.

"I'm sorry, sir, I'm so sorry." As soon as the middle-aged man walked in, he immediately bowed down and apologized: "It's all because of our negligence and not updating the album in time, so that we made such a low-level mistake......"

Fang Yuan understood, closed the album casually, tapped his fingers on the table, and said carefully: "You mean to say that I want a longevity peach...... Out of stock? ”

Although Fang Yuan's tone was flat and there was no fierce expression, he didn't know why, at this moment, the middle-aged man felt an overwhelming pressure surging, which made him can't help but stretch out his hand to wipe his sweat, and said in fear: "Sir, this is our fault, please forgive ......"
