Chapter 153 [Ghost Market Taobao (Part I)]
Seeing this fake Ru kiln fake here from Lei Ye, the faces of the appraisal masters and the boss of the auction company present were a little not good-looking, and they were not in the mood to eat at the moment, even if it was dragon liver and phoenix pith in their mouths, it tasted like chewing wax. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After the dinner. Chen Hengde drove directly to Park Changhao's villa in the magic capital, and told him in detail what happened at the dinner and the fake Ru kiln porcelain.
"Is there really such a fake porcelain that can't even be detected by high-tech instruments?" After listening to Chen Hengde's narration, a trace of surprise flashed on Park Changhao's face, and his eyes rolled in his heart.
"Mr. Pu, I asked some professionals on the way here just now, and it's true. The porcelain produced in the overseas laboratory was so realistic that it was almost identical to the real thing, and it was impossible to distinguish it. ”
Chen Hengde frothed at the mouth, talking about the fake Ru kiln porcelain, and tried to express himself in front of Park Chang Ho.
"Manager Chen, what do you mean?"
"Hehe, Pu Gongzi, haven't you always wanted to bring down Su Yanran and Shengtang Company, I have a way. Su Yanran didn't want to hold an auction of shipwreck treasures after a while, we could hold a Chinese famous porcelain exhibition in front of them and rob her business. ”
Before Chen Hengde's Hengtong Auction Company was acquired by the Park consortium, he had a holiday with Su Yanran, and the two companies had been fighting openly and secretly before. And now, Hengtong Auction Company has the behemoth of the Park Consortium as a backer behind it, and naturally will not let go of this good opportunity to bring down Su Yanran.
It's just that if you want to steal the limelight of Shengtang Company, Hengtong must come up with fine porcelain that is enough to attract everyone's attention. However, these priceless fine porcelain are not cabbage, which is so easy to receive.
So, Chen Hengde hit the idea on those high-imitation porcelains.
Chen Hengde and Park Changhao have the same smell, and the two hit it off and decided to buy this kind of high-quality porcelain that can't even be detected by high-tech instruments to serve as fine porcelain, and take the opportunity to suppress Su Yanran and Sheng Tang.
It's not that they haven't thought that this practice is tantamount to killing chickens and eggs, and if they are discovered, they may cause irreparable consequences and be boycotted by the industry.
But at this time, Park Chang-ho and Chen Heng-deok were both carried away by greed, and they couldn't care about the risks of doing so, and planned to give it a go.
"Hmph, Su Yanran, a stinky girl, is shameless, it is her honor to be looked at by men of the Korean nation, and she even rejected me again and again. This time, this son must let this woman kneel in front of me and beg for mercy! ”
Thinking of Su Yanran's stunning beauty, Park Changhao only felt that there was an evil fire burning in his heart, and the more Su Yanran resisted him, the more he could arouse his desire to conquer.
"And Qin Fan, that bastard, dares to provoke my Korean nation, and he must not be let go easily!"
Outside the airport today, Qin Fan smashed his Audi car in public, making him lose face, and this revenge will come back with revenge no matter what. If this matter is reported back to South Korea, I am afraid that some people in the Park consortium will jump out to question his ability and shake his position as the heir.
"Don't worry, Master Pu, leave this matter to me, and I will definitely do it for you. trample that Su Yanran and Qin Fan, so that they will never be able to turn over. ”
Chen Hengtong looked like he was in his chest, patting his chest and assuring Park Changhao.
"No matter what, I must get Su Yanran and her Tang Dynasty, no matter what method is used."
This is the first battle for their Park consortium to enter the mainland market, if Park Changhao can't even win a mere Tang Dynasty company, how can the old people in the consortium believe that he can sit in the position of chairman of the consortium.
"Having said that, Su Yanran, a woman, is a talent, and she can seize the opportunity to turn the tables against the trend when the Tang Dynasty is on the verge of bankruptcy, and her ability cannot be underestimated. I heard that Su Yanran has been promoting the auction of the shipwreck treasure recently, and she will hold a publicity meeting at Lotte Mall in two days. ”
"Lotte Mall?"
Park Changhao sneered, and said to himself with a sinister expression, "Su Yanran wants to hold a publicity meeting, so I will give her a big gift." ”
……
Since the preparations for the auction of the shipwreck treasure have been almost prepared, Su Yanran has also been idle in the past few days, accompanying Qin Fan to visit this international metropolis.
"Sister Su, I heard that there is still a ghost market here?"
Qin Fan suddenly remembered that during the dinner yesterday, Lei Ye mentioned the ghost market in the Demon Capital to him, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Ghost market? I've heard from friends about ghost markets around the Temple at 4 a.m. every weekend, but I've never been there. Su Yanran thought for a moment and said to Qin Fan, "It just so happens that tomorrow is the weekend, if you are interested in the ghost market, I can take you to see it." ”
"But you have to be careful when you go to the ghost market, I heard that the things in the ghost market are uneven, full of fake and shoddy antiques, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the pit."
The name Ghost Market sounds a little creepy, but it's actually a market that specializes in selling antique items. It's just that the ghost market is a bit special, it is generally opened before dawn and closed as soon as the morning dawns.
According to Qin Fan's knowledge, the ghost market originated in the Qing Dynasty, and the old Yanjing people said that the "ghost market" refers to the fact that there are many things in the market that come from the wrong way. The second is that the ghost market opens before dark in the early morning, and the sky just clears up and disperses, coming and going without a trace like a ghost.
So why open before dawn and close the stall as soon as dawn? That's a lot of talk here.
In that poor era, the things that were collected or not used at home were not as new as they are now, and most of them were in tatters. So what to do? Hell yes!
Some people fold the place where the torn cotton clothes leak out of the cotton so that you can't see it. Some people paint their old shoes with ink, and they look much newer. Some of them nailed the furniture that was going to be scattered, and it looked very sturdy, and they might fall apart when they were pulled home. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a lie.
Anyway, both the buyer and the seller knew it in their hearts, and they didn't say anything when they saw it, and they bargained hard. But no matter how much you bargain, it is also "the essence of buying but not selling", and in the end, whoever buys it will admit that it is unlucky.
Naturally, the person who does this kind of business cannot do it in broad daylight. Therefore, it is customary to open before dawn and close the stall as soon as dawn.
After the liberation, the ghost market has undergone great changes, and the variety of business has increased a lot. Nowadays, it has gradually developed into a market for buying and selling collectibles such as antiques and rare books.
Although there is no shortage of genuine antiques in the ghost market, the vast majority of them are shoddy fakes, and it can be said that it is commonplace for ordinary collectors to take medicine in the ghost market.
It's just that the things in the ghost market are generally much cheaper than the shopping mall, and even if you find a fake, you won't feel too distressed, so you will pay the tuition. If you are careless and find an antique boutique, you will make a lot of money.
There is also a rule in the ghost market that you don't ask about the goods, you can't ask the origin of the things, and you can pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with one hand after being optimistic. As for eyeing or leaking, it depends on the buyer's eyesight and ability.
Hearing Su Yanran say this, Qin Fan became a little interested in the ghost market of the City God Temple. On the weekend, before 4 o'clock in the morning, he and Su Yanran drove to the ghost market around the City God Temple.
When they arrived at the ghost market, because it was dark, Qin Fan and Su Yanran saw many people standing and squatting on the side of the road, and some people put a lantern in front of their feet, turning the lamp very small and dim, it really looked like the "ghost fire" they encountered when they walked by the grave at night.
Su Yanran is a well-known strong woman in the mall, who dares to fight. But in this is the gloomy atmosphere of the ghost market, his frightened face turned a little pale, and he followed closely behind Qin Fan for fear of getting lost.
Qin Fan noticed that in the ghost market in this area, the transaction was not like pinching his fingers in the sleeve and using gestures as seen on TV, but bargaining in whispers.
Collectors and antique businessmen from all over the world like to visit the ghost market. It didn't take long for the ghost market to gradually become noisy, noisy and lively, and Su Yanran was not so afraid.
In history, the ghost market on Tianbao Road in Nankai District, Tianjin is undoubtedly the most famous.
Tianjin ghost market appeared in the late Qing Dynasty, due to the decline of the country, many dignitaries and nobles are also declining. And those rich children are used to being idle, and in exchange for money from smoking big cigarettes, they secretly become antiques in the sellers.
But after all, this is a loss of identity, and they don't dare to sell it blatantly. So I only asked someone to sell it in the ghost market at two or three o'clock in the morning.
In 1860, the Old Summer Palace in Yanjing was brutally sacked by the British and French forces. Tianjin is the closest metropolis to Yanjing, and most of the stolen rare items, decorations, garden bricks and tiles in the Old Summer Palace were pulled to Tianjin by the British and French forces and auctioned on the street.
According to the French minister at the time, Gro confided: "The scene in Tianjin at this time was chaotic, and at every crossroads there were soldiers selling horses of silk, jewelry, vases, jade, and other valuable goods, all of which came from the Old Summer Palace, and were worth at least 30 million francs." ”
At that time, the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of Tianjin Wei, the old and the young, and the famous collectors were proud to own an object of the Old Summer Palace.
Now in the ghost market in Tianjin, you may be able to find treasures from the Old Summer Palace.
After walking around the ghost market near the City God Temple, Qin Fan found that there were really a lot of antiques and old goods here, but it was not so easy to find treasures.
"It's almost dawn, Qin Fan, have you found anything good?" Su Yanran saw that Qin Fan only looked at it and didn't buy it, and asked a little strangely.
Qin Fan was about to speak, but because the sky was too dark, he accidentally kicked something under his feet.
At this time, the stall owner who was squatting on the side of the road hurriedly fished back the things under Qin Fan's feet, glanced at Qin Fan fiercely and said, "Little red guy, walk carefully, don't blame me for being rude to you if you kick my things." ”
"Why are you so fierce, my friend didn't mean it."
Seeing the fierce appearance of this stall owner, Qin Fan hadn't spoken yet, but Su Yanran was a little angry and reasoned with the stall owner.
