Jiang Qi found that the "Confucius Temple Worm Fish and Flower Market" is located in the southeast of Shengqian City, and is a famous antique market in southern China second only to "Panjiayuan". This is open around the clock, holidays are not a place, more than 3,000 large and small stalls fill the size of the space, all kinds of jewelry and jade, antiques, four treasures of the study, calligraphy and painting, pottery, porcelain and wood furniture, etc., attracting hundreds of thousands of tourists every day, just like a folk fighting hall, usually, even some foreigners often come to visit.

"Confucius Temple" is not only a paradise for ordinary collectors and tourists to shop on Taobao, but also a large position in the antique industry.

Of course, the reason why the antique market has become more and more crowded in recent years is that the most charming charm lies in "picking up leaks".

Just like obsessed with buying lottery tickets and winning the jackpot, many people have this dream of making a fortune and wandering here all day long, speculating and tasting in front of new stalls around the country, hoping that one day they can hit the big luck and pick up a "baby" worth thousands of gold at a low price.

Of course, being in the industry does not mean getting something for nothing......

In this place of dragons and snakes, there are some vivid examples that are enough to lift the nerves of some fanatics every day:

In April 1997, the famous photographer Li Zhensheng picked up 10,000 original photographs from "Pan Jiayuan" at the price of weighing two pounds, and this batch of huge hardcover hardcover hardcover original works of masters including Wu Yinxian, Chen Fuli, Shi Shaohua and other masters were unexpectedly disposed of as garbage, and Mr. Li only spent 630 yuan to take away the "treasure" worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, which caused a sensation for a while and was passed on as a good story.

Bibliophile Liu Jianye spent only 2,000 yuan to recognize the 19 volumes and 65 volumes of the Ming Wanli edition of the "Commentary on the Thirteen Classics" that had been treasured by the Ministry of Rites of the Qing Dynasty.

Of course. Not only the discerning literati, but also the rookies, in front of such a completely inconspicuous stall, someone once spent less than 100 yuan to find the rare and valuable Yuan Jingdezhen glaze color goblet, rare Tang Sancai......

Jiang Qi has always had a question: Obviously, in a place like an antique market, many things are priceless, and its wealth value will even be greater than that of a certain bank fulcrum. It is said that even if it is not in a high-end place, it should be in a shopping mall, however, in his impression, these places like rural Daji are always dilapidated, and there is not even a police around, which is really worrying about the safety of this area.

"Let's go. These stalls aren't popular at all, so let's go upstairs......"

It was already approaching dusk, and most of the open-air stalls had begun to retreat, leaving only scattered cargo owners.

Carefully passing through the narrow gaps between these small stalls, Wang Yuyan pouted at the bottles and cans all over the floor.

"This teapot is also called an antique? It's everywhere in the countryside......"

"Why is a broken fan here? Five cents a handful? Who wants this......"

"A few broken pebbles are also put out for sale, is this an antique market......

After only a long sweep of her eyes, Wang Yuyan showed great resentment.

In her opinion, the so-called antique market is the worst, and it can't be much worse than brand stores such as "Stone Story" and "Zhou Shengzheng". But now, the ground is full of dilapidated things that every household had in the last century.

It's not like a solemn trading floor. It's more like going to a garbage dump.

"Poof, don't complain if you don't understand, the charm of the antique market is here, you have to know how to find the treasure, if it is all finished products with a clear price, who will come to this place." It's still verified with a certificate, and only stupid people who don't know how to do it make ......"

Following behind the eldest lady, Jiang Qi didn't bother to pay attention to her, looking at her disgusted expression, she couldn't help but laugh secretly in her heart: It's a shame that these words are all slandered by this little girl's stomach. If those uncles and uncles hear that they despise their treasures so much, they will pick up Ma Za and smash her with a peach blossom face, regardless of whether you are a beautiful woman or not.

Although he is not interested in Taobao today, since Jiang Qi is here, he also has a purpose: since the treasure appreciation skills have been absorbed, he is obviously not satisfied with staying at the low-level stage, and always pays attention to some masters waiting for opportunities to absorb them, which obviously becomes the one thing he is most interested in every day for all kinds of people.

"Duh, I found that the fifth-level appreciation ability is lower than the host's current ability, and it is not worth absorbing......"

"Duh, I found the fourth-level copying ability, the target calligraphy ability is very strong, but the technique is relatively rough, it is not recommended to absorb ......"

"Duh, I found the fourth-level counterfeiting ability, and I am a master of counterfeiting......"

I have to say that even if they are stall owners like farmers, the level of these people is much higher than that of ordinary players, especially some sellers who specialize in selling jade, calligraphy and paintings, etc., and they have professional skills above level five, and their theoretical knowledge even surpasses the current Jiang Qi in some details.

While scanning these sellers, Jiang Qi secretly compared with herself.

The division of labor in the antique industry is also very detailed, although he can theoretically absorb it, but he still has to achieve a clear direction.

Just like there are many categories in a science, if you don't know what it covers, you definitely won't be able to learn it well.

"Uncle, how do you sell this pile of stones?"

Near the entrance of the building, Jiang Qi finally stood in front of an old man's stall selling stones.

I have seen a lot of business like "gambling stones" in novels, but this is the first time I have encountered it in reality. In the past, in a small city like Yunhai City, people's enthusiasm for this kind of gambling game has never been high, and they have never seen such a market.

"The big one is eighty-one pounds, the small one is sixty-one pounds, don't pick or choose, do you want to see it?"

The old man was holding a comic book from the eighties of the last century by the stall owner next door and was reading it with relish, and when he saw three people, he only glanced at them, and then returned to the world of books again.

"Sixty? Eighty? Wouldn't a thousand yuan be able to buy a few hundred catties? ”

Hearing the old man's response, Jiang Qi smiled, turned around, and looked at Wang Yuyan meaningfully.

"Nerves, you, what is wrong to buy for a thousand dollars, to buy stones? You really think the money was picked up, right? ”

Seeing Jiang Qi looking at herself motionlessly, and really wanted to buy this kind of stone, Wang Yuyan was shocked, and felt that Jiang Qi's head really had a big problem.

"Hehe, look at what you think, big lottery jackpot, small lottery small prize, people like us with small eyes and thin lips, think that there is no fortune in the big luck, or play this kind of small game, buy so many stones, it is like buying a small denomination of lottery tickets, even if it is a small lottery, it will not be a gamble, so that the illusion will be shattered in one breath...... How about it, Fan Di, would you like to try it too? ”

Then he felt out two stones and rubbed them, Jiang Qi tilted his head, looking like a poor man's mind.

"Forget it, Jiang Qi, I won't have fun with you this time, a thousand yuan is not a small amount of money, or go to the building to have a look - how to say, even if you are slaughtered again, it will not be too fake to buy a calligraphy and painting, snuff bottle or something, buy such a large pile of rubble stones, in case a pile of broken stones can't even open a piece of jade the size of a grain of rice, then I will really cry to death......"

"It's not promising, I haven't heard that you have to talk about playing antiques, just like doing business, you are afraid of everything, you are afraid of losing money, even if you don't make money, you will definitely not make a lot of money."

Glancing at Fan Di contemptuously, Jiang Qi saw that Fan Di had no ideas, and he didn't force him, he smiled, stretched out his palm in front of Wang Yuyan, and made a gesture asking for money.

"Oh, take it, it's already said before, don't play tricks."

looked at Wang Yuyan senselessly, in fact, Jiang Qi's pile of stones, Jiang Qi only swept one and saw the doorway: although there are few tens of thousands of catties of stones containing jade, but a few of them are really there, as long as you buy these few, the capital of just a thousand yuan, it will naturally make a lot of money.

"No! I can't buy it yet! You have to get down to business first! ”

Seeing Jiang Qi's appearance of deliberately squandering her money, Wang Yuyan's eyes were round, her fragrant shoulders turned, and she decisively rejected Jiang Qi's request. (To be continued......)
