When I came yesterday, Junichi Watanabe introduced to Jin Muchen that this antique exhibition was not only for Japanese stall owners, but also for many foreign stall owners.

It is important to know that because of the early opening of Japan and the problems of established national policies, the acceptance of foreign antiques is far higher than that of other Asian countries.

Therefore, the Japanese have long had the habit of collecting Western antiques, starting from the Meiji Restoration, and later, especially after the end of World War II, when Japan's economy took off in the seventies and eighties, the Japanese habit of collecting Western antiques reached a peak.

At that time, Mrs. Watanabe's group once swept the European and American antique markets, and almost every time those large auction companies in Europe and the United States had major auctions and sales, the Japanese were indispensable in the venue.

Moreover, the tentacles of the Japanese are not only reflected in those large-scale auctions, but also in the folk antique markets in Europe and the United States.

In the antique stores in Europe and the United States, especially in the United States, the most common group of Japanese wives who went to sweep the goods at that time were not only buying all kinds of antiques from the East and the West, but also the works of some unknown European and American modern artists.

It can be seen that the Japanese accepted foreign antiques, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, and within a few years, the Americans and the Europeans set up a paper square agreement, which tossed the Japanese for nearly 20 years, and has not been able to completely ease up until now.

Since then, the Japanese have disappeared from the international antiques market.

But even so, it is not wrong that Japanese people are fond of foreign antiques. So whenever this Tokyo Bay International Antiques Fair opens. This antique fair is indispensable for these antique dealers from overseas.

Yesterday, Jin Muchen probably took a stroll around the antique area. But he was exhausted by the Japanese porcelain and Korean porcelain in the antique area, and this time he didn't plan to go there again, but planned to go directly to foreign antiques.

Just because there's nothing good in the antique area doesn't mean there's nothing good about it either.

Maybe here, I can pick up a big leak, and Belinda's decision on Jin Muchen is also full of nature, as for the few followers sent by Junichi Watanabe. They don't have any attitude at all.

When they came today, they received instructions that they would go wherever Jim-san went, and they must serve Jim-san comfortably, and they couldn't let any cats and dogs disturb Jim-san's Yaxing.

There is also the fact that no matter what Jim San fancies, they must be ready to pay the bill immediately, anyway, people are guests from afar, and they are still valuable guests, as long as the things they fancy are not outrageously expensive. Then we'll pay for it.

Anyway, Watanabe's central idea is only one, and that is to do whatever it takes. Let Jim-san leave a good impression on their Jichun Society, so that everyone can cooperate in the future.

Junichi Watanabe's thoughts, Jin Muchen didn't know much, and he didn't like to pay much attention, at this time he had already paid more attention to the stalls in this antique area.

The antique area and the antique area are completely in two different buildings, and the area here is much larger than the one he visited yesterday, which shows that the Japanese still attach great importance to these antique dealers from across the ocean.

The exhibition area is very large, and there are not a few people who set up stalls, and these guys can be said to have everything.

There are antique dealers from Britain, France, Germany and other regions in Europe, and the things they sell are also good, such as European porcelain, antique watches, table clocks, silverware, etc.

There are also some antique furniture sellers, all of which are decent, and the quality of the things is obviously more than a grade higher than what I saw in the antique area yesterday.

And the people who came to visit the antique area were not the same as the housewives who walked around the antique area yesterday.

Jin Muchen deliberately paid attention to it, and many of the people walking around in this antique area were middle-aged and elderly people with gray hair, glasses, and obvious scholarly temperament.

These people are either Japanese antique dealers, private collectors, or scholars who specialize in Western antiques.

There is another group of people, that is, a group of women who are extraordinarily dressed, these women are very well-dressed, most of them wear the kind of famous brands that are not revealed, and their temperament is more than a step higher than that of the housewives who seemed to visit the vegetable market yesterday, and it seems that they should all be some upper-class women.

These women should be the main members of those Watanabe Mrs. group!

With his eyes off the members who had come to visit the market, Jin Muchen once again focused his attention on the exhibits on the stalls in the market.

The first few rows of stalls in this market are reserved for antique vendors in developed areas of Europe and the United States, and the things placed in these stalls are also more authentic Western antiques.

The price is not cheap, but it is okay, it is not particularly expensive, it seems that these guys are also quite experienced, and they did not quote an excessively high lying price.

And after that, there are the booths of antique dealers from the third world countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Jin Muchen really didn't expect that people from these countries and regions would actually come back to Japan to participate in such an antique exhibition.

What South American Brazil, and Argentina, or intellectual, Venezuelan shareholder traffickers, what they sell, is more interesting.

Some of them are grains from the Inca civilization that was destroyed by Spain, and they are all stone carvings that look inexplicable, or wood carvings, these things look like they are some years old, and they can also be regarded as antiques, but Jin Muchen doesn't quite understand the value of these things.

There are also some things that are on the side of the Mayan civilization, and the rest of the things are produced by some characteristics of their local natives, which should be regarded as handicrafts strictly speaking, not antiques.

But they are still put out to sell, and there are many people watching these things in front of the stall, and these people, when they look at the clothes, are some very fashionable students, about ten or twenty years old.

And what surprised Jin Muchen the most was that those African black uncles were surrounded by these children in front of their booths.

The things that the African black uncles bought, Jin Muchen had seen in the antique market in the United States before, those tattered ones were not antiques at all, they were nothing more than some wood carving dolls related to African witchcraft, or necklaces carved from wolf teeth, or other carved animal teeth.

He had seen all those rags in the antique market in the United States.

But he really didn't appreciate the beauty of that thing, so although he had seen it many times, he never bought it, but there were many young people in the United States who liked it very much.

Jin Muchen also learned from his American counterparts why those young people like those rough rags, and then the answers given by those American counterparts were very straightforward.

It's just to pretend to be B, to be cool, to be able to look cooler in the group of boys and girls, those young people go back to pursue and buy those things, in fact, it's not that they're interested in any African witchcraft, or what African stories those objects represent, just to pretend to be B.

And the people who buy these things are generally those young people who have a clear literary temperament, and they have limited financial resources and cannot buy too expensive antiques.

In addition, even if they can afford it, they can't keep those expensive antiques on their bodies all day long and pretend to be B, right?

So this kind of African rag, which is not expensive, has gimmicks, and can be carried around, has become their best target.

Get an African wolf tooth necklace around your neck, and when you go out to brag about your sister in the future, or when you fish for Kaizi, it's good to chat with people and have a topic that isn't it, as soon as you say that this thing comes from the mysterious Big Africa, at least you can raise your B grid by two gears, which is the key to those young people liking these African rags.

And now it seems that these Japanese young people are indeed the generation most influenced by American culture, and their American godfathers and aunts like similar shabby.

Jin Muchen is obviously not very interested in those African rags, and the foreign antiques of Britain, America, France and Germany in front of him, he doesn't like it very much, although those things are not bad, but compared with his collection, it can only be said that it is far from enough.

However, with yesterday's experience as a foundation, he was not in a hurry, just walking slowly in this market, and when he was about to walk out of the stall in Asia, Africa and Latin America, he really found a very interesting stall.

The front of this stall is very clean, but when he is far away, he can smell the strong smell of curry emanating from this stall, and looking at the stall owner standing next to the stall with a dark complexion and a big white cloth wrapped around his head, Jin Muchen can be sure that this guy must be from India or Pakistan.

When he used to visit the antique market in the United States, he also met the stall owners there, and even the first pot of gold he fished, the first set of signed Yuan Datou that he collected, was collected from an Indian stall owner, so he had a good impression of these people, because they often have some surprising things in their hands.

But when he came to this stall owner's booth to take a closer look, he couldn't help but be surprised, this guy was different from the Indian stall owners he had met before, he didn't even have the kind of British and Indian mixed style silverware he had in his impression, his stall was actually full of all kinds of crystal clear jade, and crystal products, and these jades, and the Chinese jade he had seen before, but there was an obvious style difference, which made Jin Muchen feel very interesting!
