149 I want them all
ps: Where is the monthly pass, friends support it.
Baby?
Liu Shenghao smiled, are these handicrafts good, and when you sell them, you removed the label of 'MIDEINCHINA', how can you be more professional.
"Hehe, Mark, your Chinese language is good." Liu Sheng didn't take his words at all, but complimented him in Chinese.
"Is this true, sir? As you know, my neighbor is an international student from China, and he has a very good heart, he taught me Chinese, and he also said that I am very talented in languages, and of course I am also the object of his daily practice of French, and I take what I need. Listening to Liu Sheng's compliment on his Chinese, Mark immediately introduced him as a well-hearted Chinese.
Nowadays, the pockets of Chinese are becoming more and more bulging, and more figures appear in various parts of the world, not only limited to surrounding countries, but also so that businessmen in Europe and the United States and other places see business opportunities and begin to take the initiative to learn Chinese.
"You're in luck." Liu Sheng shook his head, there was nothing to do here, there were a lot of treasures waiting for him to discover, he didn't want to waste it on this stall.
"Sir, sir, don't go, I'm all your Chinese antiques, if you pay ten, you won't have this shop in this village." Mark was anxious, and said incoherently, he had not sold these goods for a long time, and it took up a lot of his capital, if there were no more buyers. But I'm going to be hungry.
I can be sure that my somewhat generous neighbor will not let himself eat white food all the time. He's got to deal with the damn officials. Get your unemployment benefits in hand.
"However, these things are not to my liking, and it's a pity that you have discounted them." Liu Sheng looked at Mark's anxious appearance, and said with some amusement, I really don't know what his neighbor taught him, but the slogans of those street vendors in China were all said.
"No, sir, look at how beautiful this bronze is. You see how natural these red spots and green rust are, they are definitely handed down from the very ancient times of your China. Seeing Liu Sheng standing down again, Mark began to spare no effort to peddle.
"Mark, let me interrupt, did our ancient ancestors also understand modern English at that time?" Liu Sheng looked at Mark with a strange face and couldn't help but say.
In all fairness, his bronze imitation is really good, if it weren't for the markings on it, I'm afraid it would have hurt a lot of new rookies, it should be from the handwriting near Luoshi, which is not only a protection site for ancient intangible cultural heritage, but also a base for counterfeiting early. It seems that this Mark's goods come from a wide range of sources.
"Uh, what English?" Mark looked at Liu Sheng a little strangely. I don't know what he's talking about.
Liu Sheng couldn't help but look at it, and pointed to a line of small characters carved on the prominent place of the bronze tripod body, with an obvious line of English letters.
"Ahh Mark that hate, he finally knew what others would shake their heads and leave when they saw him, this bronze tripod has always been placed in a prominent position by him to attract customers, and now it seems that it is simply driving customers away, stupid Mark deserves you to go hungry.
"That gentleman, you see that this candlestick is good, the enamel is definitely used by the nobles of your country." Mark put away his painful expression and began to sell to Liu Sheng again.
Yes, Liu Sheng is really a little crying and laughing, why is this Mark a dog skin plaster? Just entangled with himself, he is not up to grade handicrafts, can he buy back the things that create foreign exchange, is he really such a person with a lack of roots?
"Yes, yes, your candlestick is very beautiful, but I don't like it." Liu Sheng spread his hands and said helplessly.
"But, sir, don't you think it's a great thing to let this antique candlestick fall back to its roots?" Mark continued to lobby that many Chinese now like to go abroad to find treasures, just thinking that foreigners don't know much about their treasures and hope to pick up a leak, but they don't know that they have become fish hooked by others, and only a few people can retire.
"No, no, Mr. Mark, I don't think it's a great thing, if I bring it back, my teacher probably won't let me in, you know it's a terrible thing." Liu Sheng hurriedly shook his head and said matter-of-factly.
"What are you doing?" Mark asked with some curiosity, and at the same time he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Do you know what our ancient candles were?" Liu Sheng asked rhetorically.
Mark shook his head sincerely, he was just a halfway monk craftsman, and he didn't know anything about antiques. In order to make a living, otherwise he would not have appeared in the flea market, and if he hadn't offended his boss, as an elite professional manager, he would not have struggled in Europe and even the United States when he was fired.
"Our ancient candles are wrapped around a reed rod in the center of the tail, so the center is hollow, and there is usually a sharp nail on the candlestick to fix the candle, do you have one?" Liu Sheng pointed to Mark's candlestick and said.
Mark shook his head in frustration, he had bought the candlestick for a large price, and had sent it to Christie's, but unfortunately it was quickly returned, and the reason for this is still unknown.
"There is also the ancient production of enamel color, the material needs to be purified, but the process at that time was not advanced, the enamel color will leave a lot of sand hole on the surface, you look at your piece is too smooth, at a glance is the current handicraft." Liu Sheng bluntly criticized his candlestick to the fullest.
Liu Sheng looked at Mark who was still in a daze, and left quietly, now is not the time for him to sympathize with others, otherwise those vicious-eyed antique dealers will not show mercy to your subordinates, that Mark is just a frustrated person in the antique business, and there are countless people in the whole world.
Maybe his luck today was squandered by the unlucky Mark, Liu Sheng almost went all over the saint. Tu'an flea market but did not find a single item of their favorite, not that there are no good things here, but foreigners have actually learned the tricks of the guys in Panjiayuan, and they have also begun to arouse people's appetite, not to ask for a sky-high price, otherwise people are just fishing directly.
"Sir, sir, wait a minute, wait a minute." Liu Sheng suddenly listened to the familiar lame Chinese again.
Damn, Liu Sheng was depressed for a while, and actually turned around and returned to the original point, and met the Mark who took the initiative to solicit business, and pressed the unhappiness, Liu Sheng came up again.
"What's the matter, I'm not interested in these handicrafts of yours, and you don't need to pay customs duties to buy them in China." Liu Sheng frowned, and said bluntly about the objects on the stall.
"Sir, thank you for your guidance to me just now, I stopped Mr. because I wanted Mr. to see how my jade is, I still have a lot of jade from China here." Mark smiled awkwardly, he was now desperately in need of a sum of money, from a top professional manager to an unemployed, the contrast made him a little unacceptable.
Jade? Although Liu Sheng does not have any hope for the jade mentioned by Mark, the Chinese are the people who know the most about jade in the world, and their attachment to jade for thousands of years has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, integrated into their own splendid civilization history, and exudes an unparalleled love for jade, so Liu Sheng decided to stay and take a look at his goods.
"Take it out and have a look." Liu Sheng nodded and said to Mark.
Mark Yixi stood up directly from the wooden box he was sitting on, almost blocking most of the sun around Liu Sheng, and then opened the lid of the box neatly.
"Sir is here, see for yourself." Mark happily pointed to the contents of the box.
Good guy, this mark is really not deceiving, it is indeed filled with jade, although most of them are carved from ordinary jade, and the carving is rough, but it is definitely a genuine jade, but in an inconspicuous place a yellow statue of Shakyamuni attracted his attention.
"Well, it's indeed a jade work." Liu Sheng nodded expressionlessly and commented decently.
"Which one do you like sir, I'll give you a discount." Marc was pleasantly surprised that the food was finally out again in the coming days, and he could even enjoy the bounty of Bordeaux wines.
"Mark, don't get excited, although your jade artifacts are real, they are not very valuable." Liu Sheng directly poured cold water on Mark's longing.
"But, but jade is very precious in your country." Mark retorted excitedly. Although Westerners prefer sparkling diamonds, rubies and the like, and do not have much interest in lustrous jade, it does not prevent them from knowing the Chinese love for jade.
"Mark, you are right, but in our country jade is still divided into many kinds, only and only Hetian jade in Xinjiang, Dushan jade in Yuhe Province, Xiuyan jade in Liaoning Province, and turquoise in Hubei Province are precious varieties, you are some Russian white jade, Korean jade or Afghan jade, which are not worth much in our country at all, and belong to the goods that no one cares about." Liu Sheng patiently explained to Mark.
"But this gorgeous carver" Mark hesitated, he was hit by Liu Sheng's questioning, and he lost his self-confidence.
"The carving is crude, but it's the work of the apprentices." Liu Sheng struck mercilessly.
"Ugh." Mark's face was full of despair, and the last hope was shattered by Liu Sheng, and he squatted on the ground in pain.
"How much do you have these jades, I want them all." Liu Sheng said suddenly. (To be continued......)
