As soon as the genius was bright, Jin Muchen had already arrived at Pan @ Home, and he saw the gray wall at the entrance from afar, looking at the Pan @ Home Thrift Market written on it, a few gilded characters, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little cordial.

For any Chinese engaged in the antique industry, or a collector who loves Chinese antiques, Pan @ Home is definitely a true holy place in the hearts of big guys!

Over the years, as antique collection has become increasingly popular in China, many big cities in China have established their own antique markets, but there is absolutely no one that can achieve such a big reputation as Pan @ Home.

This area, which covers an area of less than 50,000 square meters, gathers 4,000 merchants of all sizes, as well as countless retail households in greenhouses, and tens of thousands of people beg for a living here every day.

With a staggering number of millions of people visiting here every day, it's no wonder that it has been named Asia's antiques trading center by an American antique collecting magazine.

Jin Muchen let out a long breath, and then began to walk slowly towards the market with the flow of people.

Although it was only six o'clock in the morning, the market had already begun to come alive, and tourists from all over the country and even from all over the world began to slowly walk into this treasure spot.

When he entered the market, there was a lot of people everywhere, and the scene Jin Muchen saw was much more standardized than he imagined.

He had been to this capital many times before. He wasn't an antique player back then, though. So he hasn't visited Panjiayuan. But he had also heard of the fame here, and even seen it on TV a few times.

But that was a few years ago, when I saw Panjiayuan on TV, the situation was very messy, there were a few streets, which were more formal antique shops, and the rest were street stalls.

Those roadside stalls look. But it's dirty and messy.

But now the situation here has been rectified, and it has to be standardized a lot, and a whole area has been divided into a good multi-functional area.

It is clearly divided into six business areas, including the stall area, the ancient building area, the classical furniture area, the modern collection area, the stone carving area, and the catering service area.

And when you enter Pan @ Home, the first thing you can see is the stall area, which is actually the greenhouse area and some temporary merchants to the joint operation area.

In the middle of the wide street is a row of tall open greenhouses with some fixed stalls, and on the edge of the extended greenhouses are some temporary stalls.

There are everything to buy inside, antique furniture. The Four Treasures of the Study, Ancient Books and Paintings, Old Books and Periodicals, Agate and Jade Cui, Ceramics, Chinese and Foreign Coins, Bamboo and Wood Bone Carvings, Shadow Puppet Masks, Buddhist Tokens, National Costumes and Costumes, Cultural @ Revolution Relics, etc.

Anything you can imagine, it's got you covered. However, most of the things bought at these stalls are modern imitations, even if there are some from the previous year, they are also after liberation, and if they are defined by chronology, they cannot be counted as antiques, but can only be counted as cultural toys and collectibles.

Jin Muchen probably turned around, looking a little dazzled, after reading many things, he felt very fond of them, and he also bought one or two pieces.

It's not the same as the original imagined antique market, the things here are not as expensive as imagined, and the stall owners are not as treacherous as in the antique novels they have read before, they obviously know what they are buying, so they are not too foolish.

Therefore, Jin Muchen chose to buy two pieces of handicrafts that were eye-catching, and soon there were countless large and small bags in his hands.

He plans to bring all these things back to the United States, and he plans to open an antique store, but the store can't sell all antiques?

Even if he wanted to, he couldn't fill his store with all 100% genuine products, right? After all, he opened an antique shop, not a museum, so there are so many genuine items, and by the way, there must be some crafts to support the field.

After all, for those foreigners, they can't tell whether all the antiques in your store are real, and these small objects, as long as they look at them, they never hesitate to pay for them.

Therefore, like the snuff bottles of Heng @ Shui, the New Year paintings of Yang Liuqing, the embroidery of Jiang @ Su, the wood carvings of Dong @ Yang, the stone carvings of Qu @ Yang, the shadow puppets of Shan @ Dong, the porcelain and crystal ornaments of Jiang @ Xi, the purple sand of Yi @ Xing, the bronzes of Shaanxi @ Xi, the costumes of Yun @ Nan, the Buddhist supplies of Xi @ Tibet, the white jade of Xin@ Xinjiang, the Jiaozhi pottery of Taiwan @ Bay, etc.

As long as the workmanship is exquisite enough and Jin Muchen can see it, he buys a few of everything, and then asks the store to pack it and send it to his hotel.

He buys things, rarely bargains, and is basically optimistic that it is a fixed price, and the store also likes to deal with buyers like him, so he basically responds to his delivery requirements.

After shopping in the morning, Jin Muchen can be said to have gained a lot, but he spent a lot, spending more than 100,000 yuan in the morning, basically the area he visited, all the stall owners, all know that this is a powerful gold owner.

At noon, I went to the dining area, found a random restaurant to eat, and continued to visit in the afternoon.

The capital in May, just in early summer, the temperature is not high or low, the most suitable for outdoor activities, today's weather is exceptionally good, it is rare not to see the haze, Jin Muchen is also more and more energetic.

However, in the afternoon, his goal changed, not in the stall area in front of him, but in the collection area in the back.

There are antique buildings with blue bricks and gray tiles, no clutter in front of them, and on both sides of the street, there are antique shops with wide open doors, and the things sold in this store are different from the front.

The first ones are all handicrafts, and most of the ones sold here are genuine collections, and of course there will inevitably be some fakes mixed in them, so it is time to examine the buyer's eyesight.

If you have real skills, then it is possible to find good things here, but if you don't have enough eyesight, then it is inevitable to be fooled.

Anyway, the rule here is to buy and leave, but there is no reason to return a fake like in the United States.

The shops near the stall area in front are generally two-storey, and in the back streets, they are basically bungalows, but these bungalows are also in the style of antique buildings, basically with gray walls and green tiles, which look full of antique charm.

Basically, every shop facing the street is a shop, and some of these shops will put some of their collections in cabinets and place them at the door to attract customers, while others will directly open the door so that people passing by outside can see the situation inside at a glance.

Jin Muchen doesn't go into every store, he usually chooses to wait and see at the door, and only when he sees something with jewels, he will enter the store to take a serious look.

If you don't find it, you won't go in, there are so many shops here, after all, it is impossible for every store to have a number of treasures, even if there are general, they will not put the treasure of the town store on the outside, so Jin Muchen is also a good look.

It wasn't until he came to the door of a store called Yuezhixiang that he stopped, the name of this store is very interesting, just by looking at the name, you should be able to guess that the owner is from the Lingnan area.

This is not unusual, you must know that more than 60% of the operators of this Pan @ home come from 28 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions outside the capital, involving more than a dozen ethnic groups such as Han, Hui, Manchu, Miao, Dong, Uyghur, Mongolian and Korean.

So Jin Muchen didn't feel surprised by the origin of this boss, what he felt strange was the things sold in this store.

You must know that there are all kinds of things to buy in this Pan homeland, which can almost be said to cover 100% of the range of Chinese cultural relics, what beautiful porcelain, jade, what magic vessels, national tokens, everything is here, but there are not many shops that sell overseas antiques and cultural toys alone.

And the things bought in front of him in this hometown of Guangdong are very unique, Jin Mu Chenguang glanced at the store from the door, and found several things that interested him.

For example, the lighters on the Bogu shelf, although they look a little nondescript, but the light flashing on those lighters is really telling Jin Muchen, these are all good things.

"Welcome, boss, just look at it, you can just say hello to me."

The shopkeeper was a young man in his thirties, of medium height, with a distinct Lingnan accent in Mandarin, Jin Muchen smiled at him, and then came directly to the Bogu shelf where the lighter was placed.

"Boss, take that lighter down and take it down."

Jin Muchen pointed to a porcelain lighter on the Bogu shelf and said to the boss, the boss saw that he was so simple, and his eyes lit up, this should be a knowledgeable person.

"Boss, you really have a vision! This is only a baby, this is just an American famous brand Evans copper tire enamel lighter, there are hundreds of years of history, the current survival is not much, and the maintenance is very good, and the treasure of the general kerosene and flint, now it is also a little bit, it is definitely worth collecting good things! ”

The boss introduced with a smile as he took down the lighter from the Bogu shelf, which was enamel with copper tires.

This lighter is not small in size, the height is similar to that of an ordinary cigarette case, and the width is slightly narrower, so it is just a good object to play with in your hand.

The ignition at the top and the base at the bottom are gilt copper, and in the center is a round pot in the shape of an olive, with a body in copper enamel and painted with several blooming roses and butterflies.

Hands-on pulp oily, excellent feel, it seems that the previous owner, should often hold it in the hand to play, it is definitely a very good boutique small object!

Jin Muchen held it in his hand and played with it for a while, it seemed that the materials were very real, and the more he played, the more he liked it! (To be continued......)
