Chapter 624: Tokyo Metropolitan Antique Market

readx;??? The next day, Wu Di didn't get up lazily until the third pole of the sun, the matter of the jade seal was solved, the matter of the Blue Dragon Club was also resolved, and the rest ...... Nothing seems to be the rest of the matter? Then make money quickly and work hard in the direction of emptying the video store!

As soon as he arrived at Ueno's Gambling Stone Street, he received a call from his master, and the things had been safely handed over to him, and he was trying to find a way to take out the Tiancong Cloud Sword inside. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wu Di smiled and stepped into the door of the Ma Tian Company, and instructed them to send the wool they had purchased yesterday to the calcite factory, and then start sweeping from house to house.

It took him most of the day to set up eleven shops in total, and in the end, the wool piled up in the calcite factory was like a small mountain.

The bosses of Gambling Stone Street are happy to bloom one by one, a person from Huaxia is stupid and has a lot of money, buying wool is like buying fruit, or not picking or choosing! This kind of opportunity is not so easy to come across!

So, at their warm invitation, Wu Di patronized at least five so-called secret warehouses, three so-called treasure rooms, and finally, more and more wool made him have to consider whether he really wanted to solve the stone in public here.

Forget it, he has always been a good person, and his biggest ambition is to be kind to others, if all these wool materials are untied in public here, then these bosses will not vomit blood one by one and die?

It's convenient for you to be with people, just spend some freight, and ship it back to China first!

"That's it, fifth brother, if you come back in this case, they will still treat you as the God of Wealth, otherwise, ......"

Wu Di glanced at the big bag in Zhang Fei's hand, and laughed like a toad that had climbed onto the swan.

"Actually, it's mainly because they're so enthusiastic, and all the treasures they've treasured for many years have been taken out and given to me, so how can I be embarrassed to do things absolutely nothing? Strategist, have you counted, how many plates did they give us? How many are VCDs and how many DVDs? Shuffle. Now I even save money to go to the video store......"

As soon as I returned to the hotel, the call from Matsushita Zhushi arrived,

"Master Wu, I'm sorry, I've been too busy for a while, you're still in Tokyo, right? I've made a trip to squeeze in half an hour for you tomorrow morning, and you can come over. ”

"Oh, that's right, tomorrow I've made an appointment with a friend to go to the antique market, and Master Zhushi will be busy first if he has something to do. I'm not in a hurry, we'll make an appointment another day. ”

"Huh?"

Wu Di hung up the phone, his mind filled with Panasonic Zhushi's stunned foolish look, and he smiled almost from ear to ear.

Panasonic Zhushi was indeed confused by Wu Di, shouldn't he be in a hurry? Could it be that something has happened in the past day or so that he does not know?

I have to say that he is indeed very sensitive, but even if he let his imagination fly, he could not have thought that Wu Di actually got the Tiancong Cloud Sword in their country, and it had already been shipped back to China in the first place!

I found someone to investigate Wu Di's whereabouts. As a result, he laughed for a while. It's normal for this guy to sweep the wool of Ueno Gambling Stone Street, but his translator actually swept away almost all the love art films that those bosses treasured, what is the reason?

Tokyo is Japan's largest antique distribution center. There are 352 antique shops in Tokyo. More than in any other city, there are more than 1,000 thrift stores that also sell antiques. However, the most attractive thing for antique lovers in Tokyo is not the antique shops. It's an antique market. The difference between a "shop" and a "market" is that the former is a fixed storefront, while the latter is a temporary market.

There are 28 antique markets in Tokyo. The market is open on a regular basis. The antique market varies in size, with the largest having nearly 500 antique dealers and tens of thousands of customers, and the smallest with only twenty or thirty stalls. The Tokyo Antiques Market was founded in 1977 and has a relatively recent history.

There are two types of antique markets: open-air and indoor. Open-air antique markets are often located at shrines and temples such as Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine, Togo Shrine, Gokokuji Temple, Arai Yakushiji Temple, etc. Some of them are located in busy areas with convenient transportation, such as the station square of the tram Yurakucho.

The goods in the antique market can be "copied" at will and speculatively figured out without the permission of the stall owner. Therefore, antique dealers who are afraid of the sun, moisture, touch, easy to fall, and fragile boutiques do not take them in the open market as much as possible.

For this reason, Wu Di set his main targets on those antique shops. Of course, if there is a large indoor antique market, you can't let it go.

Translator Xiao Wang has been in Japan for nearly 10 years and has been engaged in tourism reception. Because the Chinese collecting craze has continued to heat up in recent years, many people have gone to Japan to shop for antiques, so they are very familiar with some large antique markets and antique shops.

"At this time, there is a large antique market at the Tokyo Big Sight in Koto Ward, and there are more than 500 exhibitors. But it's best not to get your hopes up, the domestic antique investment boom in recent years has been too violent, affecting Japan, so it is difficult to see the fine Chinese antiques in the antique market. ”

Wu Di nodded, he didn't plan to buy those so-called boutiques. Of course, if it is really a high-quality product, even if it costs a lot of money, you have to get it back, but the probability of this situation should be infinitely close to zero.

Tokyo Big Sight was once the largest and most technologically advanced exhibition center in Japan, and even today, more than a decade later, the shape of two square torches is not far behind.

The large antique market in Xiao Wang's mouth actually only occupies one of the venues in the exhibition center, but it is the largest one. There are about 500 booths in total, ranging from small to large, and the antiques on display are very similar to those of China, such as ceramics, woodware, lacquerware, bronzeware, ivory carvings, clocks, calligraphy and paintings, etc., but most of them have a strong Japanese "flavor".

Most of the stalls have some Chinese antiques on them, but the quality is a matter of opinion.

After spending an hour and browsing through hundreds of stalls, Wu Di didn't find a single thing worth selling. But he is not in a hurry, Taobao is like this, if it is everywhere, it will not be his turn to Taobao.

Sure enough, after looking at a few more stalls, Wu Di finally found a good thing.

This stall mainly deals in some ancient jade, large and small jade carvings, jade pendants are placed very neatly, but because most of them are not in good condition, there are very few people who come to visit, and even if there are, most of them are in a hurry to browse and shake their heads.

What caught Wu Di's attention was a jade head less than 4 centimeters tall carved from triangular prism jade pieces in the upper left corner of the stall.

The head wears a small flat crown with angled wing-like embosses above the ears and large rings on the lobes. Diamond-shaped eyes, a wide garlic-like nose, four front teeth exposed in the mouth, and a pair of fangs at the corners of the mouth that are reversed up and down. It is very different from the general jade statue, it should be a combination of the dual characteristics of gods and beasts, to be precise, it should be called the jade god statue.

Wu Di seemed to play with it for a while, and was sure that this should be a rare Shijiahe cultural jade god avatar!

The two lakes in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, with Hunan and Hubei provinces as the main body, are the activity areas of the prehistoric "three Miao" tribes. The history of its production and use of jade can be traced back to the middle and late Daxi culture about 6,000 to 5,500 years ago. By the time of the Shijiahe culture about 4,500 to 4,000 years ago, the development of prehistoric jade in the Lianghu area reached its peak, forming a jade culture with distinctive characteristics.

At present, there are more than 20 kinds of Shijiahe cultural jade, such as human heads, cicadas, tiger heads, animal face ornaments, pendants, cong, bi, yazhang, etc., among which the human and animal-shaped jade carvings with rich shapes constitute the most distinctive main characteristics of Shijiahe cultural jade.

Among them, there are only more than 10 pieces of jade heads unearthed in Shijiahe, and later generations subdivide them into two kinds of ordinary heads and gods according to the characteristics of their ornaments.

Most of the portraits of ordinary people are realistic frontal portraits, and some are profile portraits. The head is generally divided into three parts: upper, middle and lower, and the upper crown and lower neck are often represented by wide horizontal grooves.

At present, there is only one god head found in China, and the shape and carving techniques are very similar to this one. In other words, if this piece is not a fake, it should be the second discovered Shijiahe culture jade god head!

Wu Di glanced at the stall owner, who was a boy dressed in a fashionable fashion, who didn't seem to have much confidence in what he was selling, and didn't care about his actions at all, just playing games with his phablet single-mindedly.

"Boss, how do you sell this?"

After receiving Wu Di's signal, Xiao Wang began to inquire.

"That's it, the head of the jade god of Shijiahe culture, 60 million yen!"

As soon as the boy spoke, Wu Di and Xiao Wang were taken aback at the same time, this was actually a little girl with a boy's head!

"Ahem, ahem!"

Xiao Wang's surprise didn't stop there, he silently repeated the girl's offer, so that he couldn't choke to death by this number! In his mind, even if this thing is thrown on the ground, it is likely that no one will pick it up because it is dirty, this girl actually opened her mouth for five million yuan, and there is no such way to rob money!

Wu Di's surprise was not only because this was a girl, he was surprised that this little girl actually knew this thing! It seems that her carelessness is not due to lack of confidence, but to confidence!

"Ahem! For this little thing, it costs 60 million yen? I'm stuck, I finally know why she's got no one here......"

Xiao Wang glanced at the jade statue of the god and complained in a low voice. But then he found out that something was wrong, because Wu Di not only did not leave because of this price, but squatted down, while playing with the jade carving, while looking the girl up and down with interest.

"Help me pay back...... Million. ”

Xiao Wang was stunned, is this thing so valuable? Could Wu Di be confused by this novel marketing method, or simply fall in love with others?

"If you are asked to bargain, you will bargain, where is it that there are so many good things? I'll tell you, even if you buy this thing for 60 million yen, it's a big bargain! (To be continued.) )
