Ask for collections, ask for recommendations!

"How much?"

Jin Muchen almost didn't hesitate, and the British aunt smiled slyly at this time.

"Young man, you really have a vision, you see how happy your girlfriend is, I am happy for you to see you like this pair, so be it! I don't ask for much, fifteen hundred dollars. ”

This old lady is really thick-hearted, but the antique business is probably this virtue.

This jadeite necklace, to be honest, the quality is really average, although the jadeite is a real jadeite, but after all, this is a coarse bean jadeite, the color is very average, and the workmanship can only be said to be reluctant.

And although it is a few years old, it can definitely not be regarded as an antique, and can only be regarded as jewelry.

But as a jewelry, the quality of this jadeite necklace is a little too general, as far as the current jadeite market is concerned, such a quality of jadeite necklace in the country is about 5,000 yuan.

However, this old lady asked for 1,500 US dollars per mouth, and the quotation of more than 9,000 yuan and nearly 10,000 yuan was indeed a bit high.

But Jin Muchen didn't even blink: "Okay, deal!" ”

How can he bargain when he buys something for his beloved woman, not to mention that this amount of money is nothing to him now.

With that, he pulled out his wallet and counted fifteen hundred dollars from it, and Candace's eyes widened.

Before the accident in her family, fifteen hundred dollars was really nothing to her, but now that she is a student who can barely raise enough tuition, fifteen hundred dollars is really too much.

She grabbed Jin Muchen's wrist: "Muchen, this price is too expensive......

"No, where is it expensive? As long as it is something that can match you, no matter how high the price is, I am not too expensive, baby, in my eyes, you are a priceless treasure, and what can such mundane things as money be? ”

Candace couldn't help but be moved, since her family went bankrupt, no one had treated her so sincerely.

The friends who used to call her father brothers and sisters seemed to be hiding from the plague when they saw her.

Some of them are even more suspicious to come to her, it can be said that from the life of hell on the paradise island, although it has only been a few months, she has seen through a lot of things.

And now the man next to her has only known her for a few months, but he is willing to treat her like this, how can she not be moved?

couldn't hold back the hot love in her heart anymore, she put her arms around Jin Muchen's neck and offered a hot kiss.

Just when Jin Muchen was about to be suffocated by Candace's sudden outburst of enthusiasm, he saw the British aunt who had been standing aside give him a thumbs up......

After such a small episode, Candace's love was obviously much better, and he also became much more lively, holding Jin Muchen's hand, bouncing all the way under the warm winter sun.

Seeing that Candace beside him was so happy, Jin Muchen's mood suddenly improved, originally he was just here to step on the field today, and he would probably take a look at the situation, and the key collection would be involved in the next few days.

But this time I was also interested, and before I knew it, I had been strolling around the Paske market for a morning.

By eleven o'clock, both of them were a little hungry and planned to find a place to eat.

After asking someone, there was a small Victory Square coming out of Pasque Street, and there were many restaurants in this Victory Square, so the two walked out of Pasque Street quickly.

But as soon as they came to this Victory Square, the two couldn't help but be stunned, they originally thought that Paske Street was the main area of the antique market, but they didn't expect the real good things to be here.

Some merchants from around Washington used to crowd into this small square to set up stalls, and hundreds of small stalls were scattered in the square of thousands of square meters, and next to the fountain in the square, there was a canvas greenhouse.

Jin Muchen felt a little curious, so he asked a stall owner, only to know that the greenhouse turned out to be an auction center, which is the core of the entire Pasque antique market.

Because it was about to be noon, where was the last auction before the lunch break, I really couldn't help but be curious, Jin Muchen discussed it with Candace, and planned to come to this greenhouse to have a look first, and then go to lunch.

As a result, when they arrived at the gate, the two were stopped, it turned out that there was a silent auction going on here, and if they wanted to enter, they had to pay a deposit of 200 yuan each.

paid the money and entered the greenhouse, but the situation inside opened Jin Muchen's eyes.

The area of the greenhouse is very large, it can be two or three hundred square meters, but it is crowded with antique dealers and collectors from all over the country.

A red carpet is laid around the greenhouse, and on the carpet are tables and various lots are placed on the table.

Next to each table is a small blackboard with two prices, one being the lowest estimate of the lot given by a regular appraisal company, and the other being the lowest price that the owner of the lot can accept.

The owners of the lots sat behind those tables, looking at their own things and the customers who came up to watch.

However, during this period, we will only do some simple exchanges, such as when and where these things were received, and some brief introductions about the lots.

As for bargaining, it is not allowed at all, if a customer has a crush on a lot, he can write his offer on the blackboard next to the table, as long as it exceeds the lowest price that the seller can accept, and if there are no other bidders, it will take more than a minute to close the deal.

Of course, if there is something good, it will definitely attract a lot of competitors, so the fierce process of the auction is basically no less than that of a regular auction.

The only difference is that there are no auctioneers, and there is no fixed amount for each offer.

Because it is more formal, the lots here are much better than the antiques on the stalls outside.

The antiques on the stalls outside, although each stall can have two real things, are mostly some handicrafts that may be eye-catching if you are not careful.

But it's different here, almost every seller on the table is the real thing, and the quality is good, Jin Muchen casually walked over and looked at a few, and knew that this time he had entered Baoshan.

The only thing that makes him feel uncomfortable is that although these antiques are real people, the asking price is not cheap.

It is impossible for buyers not to know the value of their treasures, so the asking price is not low, so the problem he has to face is how to find a suitable price.

After a little turn in the greenhouse, Jin Muchen finally came to a stall that auctioned snuff bottles.

The stall owner was an old man with white hair and beard, who looked to be in his seventies, but his body was very strong, and he spoke like a bell.

The reason why Jin Muchen came to his stall was mainly because there were the most people around his stall, and the old man was foaming at the mouth at this time introducing the set of snuff bottles in front of him.

"Phil, did you finally get your goodies out this time?"

Someone in the crowd said hello to the old man, apparently an old acquaintance with the gray-haired old man, and it seemed that this Phil should be a regular visitor here.

"Haha, yes! I'm old and I'm going to retire, and next year I'm going to go to Miami to buy a boat, and I'm just barely getting the money, so I'm going to cut my love! ”

"Okay, you've been saying this for several years, hurry up and introduce these snuff bottles to everyone!"

A Latino in the crowd said with a grin, and the old man was not angry, wiped his beard, and then said.

"These snuff bottles are what I have collected in China over the years. I've been traveling to China since 1978, and over the years, every time I go there, I bring back something like this. These are snuff bottles of different ages and materials that I collected from Beijing, Puhai, Yangcheng, Chang'an and other places......"

The old man began to introduce the collection of snuff bottles in front of him.

And Jin Muchen quietly squeezed through the crowd, came to the front, and looked at Phil's collection carefully.

There are more than 30 snuff bottles on the table, and the top row looks very beautiful and of very good quality, but the more you go down, the more dilapidated they are, and even some are either cracked or notched, and the quality is not complete.

Jin Muchen started to look from top to bottom, looked at the top of the several, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, although the snuff bottles on the top looked beautiful and the material was also very good, but the age was not long.

Some of them should be modern handicrafts, and a few of the middle rows look pretty good, which should be works of the late Qing Dynasty, Guangxu or Tongzhi period.

Because these snuff bottles look very large, completely different from the traditional delicate and beautiful snuff bottles, and the painting on them is also very rough.

With obvious characteristics of the times, although the material is not top-notch, but it also has a certain collection value, although it is ugly, but it is also an antique, much better than those handicrafts.

But when he turned his gaze to the bottom, his eyes lit up.

Because the bottom row of a few snuff bottles, although it looks more shabby, but in this set of snuff bottles, only these few have jewels on them, and this jewels are so strong, bright yellow, soft but domineering, these are definitely not ordinary!
