Ask for collection, ask for recommendation ~~~!

****************

As he was leaving, Capote asked him why he had chosen this table instead of those treasures that were more valuable.

Jin Muchen didn't know how to answer, so he could only say perfunctorily: "I just lack a desk now." ”

Capote, on the other hand, rolled his eyes and told him that this desk was a good desk, a desk that had been around for years, after all, it had been dug out of the warehouse of the Coen brothers' mansion by him and the dead ghost James.

As for which Coen brothers are, he didn't elaborate, but only asked, how many Coen brothers are there in the United States?

Jin Muchen seems to have really heard of the name of the Coen brothers, but he didn't bother to pay attention to what the Coen brothers did.

Anyway, in his opinion, this table is very good.

Drove back to Flushing and sent Candace home, when he got out of the car, Candace seemed to want to say something to him, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't say anything, and only told him that she wanted to calm down for two days before leaving.

Although Jin Muchen was very worried about her state, he didn't ask too much, so he could only nod and watch her get out of the car and go upstairs, and then returned to Fang Bo's antique shop sullenly.

"Yo, don't forget to put a table when you resign? I think you're just having fun right now, huh? ”

Uncle Fang helped him remove the table from the luggage rack on the roof of the car, and joked with him, Jin Muchen could only laugh, and then fooled around, he didn't dare to say anything about the origin of this table.

Just fooled Uncle Fang and said that on the way back, he happened to see a family selling in the garage, and he happened to lack a desk, so he saw that the table was good, so he bought it back.

Fang Bo didn't ask in detail, after all, this table looks ordinary, although it is a few years, but the workmanship is a little rough, and the materials are not particularly valuable, it can barely be regarded as an antique, but it is not worth much.

In foreign collecting circles, the collection of antique furniture has always been a popular project that is quite sought after, but if you want to play this, you must first understand the preferences of foreign collectors.

In the domestic antique circle, collecting antique furniture only values the material of the furniture.

In foreign collecting circles, collectors here pay more attention to the antique furniture that has been used by anyone, European royalty and former historical celebrities, the furniture used is the most popular among collectors, even if the materials of those furniture are not top-notch, it doesn't matter.

What they value more is the kind of historical accumulation and cultural inheritance, in the vernacular, it is the experience used by those royals or celebrities, which will automatically add to these furniture, and they value the story behind these antiques, such antique furniture, in their opinion, it seems to be a witness to that history.

This is the focus of the collection of foreign antique furniture, and Jin Muchen took back this table, the material can only be regarded as medium and upper-grade, maple is very good, but it is not a top-level furniture material.

Moreover, this table has no clear historical markers, and it seems that the workmanship is very rough, and it is unlikely that it was used by European royalty or celebrities.

So no matter how you look at it, it's not very valuable.

After Jin Muchen came back, he also studied the table carefully for a few days, and looked at the carved patterns on it, which should be furniture used by the British upper class hundreds of years ago.

But it is not very close to the kind used by the royal family, and the British antique furniture, the most famous in the collector's market, is still the Victorian period, and this one obviously does not have the style of that era.

So no matter how you look at this table, it's not very valuable.

But Jin Muchen didn't plan to sell this table, because he still couldn't understand why this table emitted such a soft yellow light, that kind of yellow light, in his opinion, should belong to that kind of royal luxury, it doesn't look dazzling, but it naturally has a royal majesty.

In the end, he chose to leave the table in his bedroom, he was sure that this table must have a background, but he still needed time to figure out what the origin of this table was.

Before I knew it, more than a month had passed, and it was almost Christmas.

During this time, Jin Muchen has been in Uncle Fang's shop, Helen seems to have disappeared during this time, and he didn't come to disturb him again, and he was happy to be quiet.

He hadn't seen Candace for a few weeks, which made him feel uncomfortable, and he called her a few times, but each call was not long, and she was busy with her final exams recently, and there seemed to be an inscrutable layer of estrangement between the two.

Such a state between the two made Jin Muchen a little irritable, but he didn't know how to break the current state, so he could only place his hopes on work, hoping to use work to numb himself.

But during this time, his good fortune seemed to run out, and he walked around the Hell's Kitchen Market in Manhattan, but there was nothing to see.

And there has been no news from Boss Wang's side, and he originally made an appointment with Uncle Fang to come over during Christmas, but he never called again.

He even wanted to call the guy and ask if he was still here, but Uncle Fang told him to stay calm.

In Uncle Fang's words, firstly, people may indeed be very busy, and secondly, calling him may make this Boss Wang have some other ideas, then if there is really a deal, they will be at a disadvantage, after all, it is not a business to go to the pole!

So all they can do is wait, if there is no news from that guy after this Christmas, then Uncle Fang will help him contact another person, after all, they are the ones who have good things in their hands, and they don't have to worry at all.

However, Uncle Fang also saw Jin Muchen's recent anxious feelings, and also guessed that he might be in trouble emotionally, so he simply recommended a place for him to go and relax, and by the way, to have a long experience.

"Mu Chen, you've almost turned around in a few markets here in New York, if there's really nothing good, I think you might as well go out and take a look."

After dinner that day, when Fang Bo was sitting in front of the fireplace on the second floor with him, Leng Buding suddenly mentioned it to him.

The United States does not implement central heating, except for those apartment buildings with central air conditioning, the average household, all rely on their own fireplaces for heating, conditions can be installed in the basement of the home a plumbing boiler, but some people prefer fireplaces, and now fireplaces are also divided into several kinds, some are old-fashioned wood-burning, and some are directly burning natural gas.

Fang Bo's family burns natural gas, which is very clean, and the heating effect is also very good.

"Huh? Going somewhere else? ”

"Haha, of course, silly boy, the United States is so big, you don't think that there is such an antique market only in New York, do you?"

Fang Bo smiled, looked at Jin Muchen and said.

To be honest, during this period of time, Jin Muchen's main energy was still on a place like New York, and as for looking at the whole country, he really didn't know much about it.

"In fact, there are several major antique distribution centers in the United States, on the East Coast, such as Washington, Philadelphia, Boston, Miami, etc., and the antique markets in these cities are stronger than New York except for Philadelphia and Boston. Detroit and Chicago used to be fine, but now they're all ruined......"

Fang Bo couldn't help but shake his head and sigh when he said this, Jin Muchen also knew that the current Detroit and Chicago could be said to be completely finished.

At the beginning of the last century, there were many rich people living in the famous industrial cities of the United States, but it was a pity that the greedy capitalists hired a large number of blacks from the south to work wherever they wanted to reduce labor costs.

After the end of World War II, the U.S. economy prospered for a period of time, and then encountered several economic crises, especially the oil crisis in the seventies, which allowed Japanese cars to take advantage of the situation and invade the U.S. market.

Since then, the U.S. economy has been in transition, and industrial cities like Detroit and Chicago have been in decline.

The rapid proliferation of blacks, rising unemployment and crime, and finally a large number of white broadmen began to leave the area and migrate south, which eventually led to the decline of the two cities.

"On the West Coast, Los Angeles and San Francisco are also very good, especially in San Francisco, there are a lot of good things, I think if you have the opportunity, you can go to those places, maybe you can collect a lot of good things!"

Uncle Fang quickly adjusted his feelings and said to Jin Muchen, who nodded thoughtfully.

Anyway, things haven't been going well lately, so it's better to go out and take a turn.

"Uncle Fang, where do you think it's better for me to start?"

"Haha, this still needs to be asked, of course Washington? Although the size of the city and the economic environment are not as good as New York, there is a special district, and in fact, there is the largest antique market center on the east coast of the United States. Did you know that in the Chinese antique circle in the United States, the Paske Market in Washington has the title of Panjiayuan in the United States? If you go at this time, you will definitely not be disappointed. Your kid's luck has always been good and a bit against the sky, and I think you might be able to get something out of it when you go around at this time, better than going around in New York. ”

"Really? Pan Homeland in the United States? It's kind of interesting, and it sounds like it's worth a walk! ”

As soon as Uncle Fang said this, Jin Muchen was really interested, Pan Jiayuan in the United States? If you don't go around, how can you be worthy of yourself?

That night, Jin Muchen began to pack his bags and prepare to leave for Panjiayuan in the United States to have a good look.
