Chapter 263: Zhan Tai Lingyue
Paris is a city of culture and a shopping paradise, with its most famous Champs-Elysées, picturesque banks of the Seine, and beautiful women. Rich and full of cultural tourist souvenirs, there are painters on the street who can paint for you at any time, and the sound of elegant violin or organ playing in your ears from time to time, even Fang Qi is full of interest.
And here excursions can be divided into two types. The first is the cultural enrichment, and the architecture of Paris is a cultural heritage left over from history. The businesses that reside in it are all covered with a strong cultural atmosphere, as if they are part of business and life. And the most in Paris are historical sites and museums.
There are hundreds of museums in Paris, a typical 'Gothic' church, and Notre Dame Cathedral with a height of 106 meters. The 22.83-meter-high obelisk weighs 230 tons
There is also a real play, a real relaxation, you can eat here, play here, and the beautiful environment here can make people forget all their troubles. But that's on the premise of having money.
Walking down the street where Fang Qi didn't know his name, Fang Qi wandered around without anything, because the day after tomorrow was when the auction began. There was nothing grand about this auction, and Fang Qi was just looking for an excuse to get out of the way. The gunshot wounds on his body, not only Wang Xiaoya, but also the police did not find them.
Therefore, Fang Qi came to Paris the next day, because once the injuries on his body were exposed, although Fang Qi had no trouble, he would definitely not be able to explain it clearly, and it would also make Wang Xiaoya worried. Fang Qi came here just to recuperate his injuries and distract his mind. There is something that can be shot, and he will definitely not be soft.
"Hi, hello, friend of Huaguo, do you need to leave a portrait of you in Paris?" Looking at a foreigner's fluent Chinese, Fang Qi shook his head. Compared to these oil paintings. Fang Qi prefers to take photos.
Coming to a two-windmill café that looks like it's in a movie setting, with a mustard-colored ceiling, it's like hearing the nervous accordion sound in the movie. But there is an accordion here. The kind of voice that was neurotic, not sensational, but revealing a hint of sweetness, Fang Qi couldn't help but sound Wang Xiaoya, who was far away in City B.
Ordering a pastry from Country F, Fang Qi looked at the pedestrians who were constantly playing outside, and then a violinist's "Jasmine" in the square came leisurely, causing everyone to stop chopsticks. Listen intently.
Looking at that person, Fang Qi couldn't help but be stunned. This is a teenage Asian boy accompanied by a young girl playing an electronic piano, and the two say that they are playing in the square, rather enjoying a wonderful moment. Their faces were filled with intoxication and joy. And Fang Qi even saw a foreigner painting on the spot, as if he wanted to leave their figures
The antique market in Paris can be divided into several categories, high-end antique shops, regular antique salons and auctions, antique streets in the thrift market.
In Paris, Taobao is commonly known as "planer", which means that as long as you have patience in the thrift market. You can "plan" good things in it. But Fang Qi was dismissive of this. Because good things also need eyesight, and those foreign devils may not have worse eyesight than them.
At least Fang Qi felt it deeply. Everywhere he went, he saw Chinese antiques, bronzes, porcelain, lacquerware, furniture, and miscellaneous pieces, none of which were genuine, but he also saw a lot of things that could be faked and authentic.
And there are all kinds of things here, such as Mei Lanfang's commemorative stamps, bonds borrowed overseas by the late Qing government to build railways, and tea bricks exported from China. There are even all kinds of pots, pots, civil figurines, warrior figurines, king figurines, horses, camels and other styles of Tang Sancai.
Just think about how you can find any good things in such an environment, of course, there is a sentence above that is not wrong. As long as you have patience, you can 'plan' something good in it. ’
High-end antique stores are mostly concentrated in Paris-St. Avenue Honoré and the nearby Avenue Montaigne. It is an aristocratic quarter, home to many luxury stores and the world's most important fashion launch. The antiques in these shops take the high-end route and are staggeringly expensive. Most of the Chinese antiques sold are also boutiques.
Of course, this is also one of Fang Qi's purposes. You can't see it at the stalls, so it's natural to buy one or two pieces there that are eye-catching and the price is right.
Moreover, Paris holds antique salons every spring and autumn, and the venue is generally selected in the wealthy area of Paris, and the ticket price is determined according to the scale, generally between 30-50 francs. The salon first appeared in the 18th century, when the host and subject had a literary background, hence the name literary salon. Today, Parisians call the Spring and Autumn antiques trade a salon, which is nothing more than an attempt to improve the quality of the antique business with the help of the elegance of the salon.
As for the antique auctions in Paris, there are auctions every weekend and vary in size. Most of the people who participated in the transaction were antique dealers, who sold and sold to earn a little difference. Ordinary people go to see the excitement more, which is a pastime on weekends. And the day after tomorrow, there will be a large-scale auction, which is also the reason why Fang Qi came here, and it can be regarded as his main purpose.
Where Fang Qi is now is the largest flea market in Paris, and it is also the largest antiques market in Paris. The flea market here sells everything from antiques to clothes, furniture, used books, carpets and more.
In the alleys, the stalls on both sides of the street offer everything from antique furniture to handicrafts, from comic books to calligraphy. Although it is full of worthless old goods, there are real "treasures", and it takes patience and vision to find them.
"Hey, this little brother, I have your Huaguo stuff here, come in and have a look?" Looking at Fang Qi, an Asian who seemed to be Chinese couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at Fang Qi.
Fang Qi looked at his shop, there was everything in it, porcelain, jade, and all kinds of bronzes. But Fang Qi shook his head and said:
"Forget it, I don't see a real thing, although these porcelains are good, but at first glance they are new imitations, and there are bronze objects, the color, rust color are not right, as for these paintings, they are also tangible and godless, not even high imitations, boss, you don't have anything here that interests me." Hearing Fang Qi's words, the people who were originally shopping inside were all surprised. He even hurriedly put down what he was doing.
"The little brother is an expert, but the little brother seems to have broken the rules." Fang Qi was completely looking for fault, which made the shopkeeper very angry, but who told him to wear a kimono, plus the sentence 'you Huaguo things' just now, so Fang Qi naturally didn't have the slightest guilt at all. Instead, he chuckled and left.
"Hey, hey, big brother, don't go." With a call, Fang Qi couldn't help but stop, this was a pretty beautiful girl. is also an Asian girl, fluent in Mandarin, Fang Qi believes that she is Chinese.
His eyes were as deep as the stars, and his black hair was scattered over his shoulders. and that slender figure, which already has proud capital. Combined with her beautiful appearance and youth, she is even more invincible. Her appearance is stunning, her face is warm, her skin is as fair as warm jade, her beauty is a little surprising to Fang Qi, she didn't expect to meet such a beautiful oriental girl here.
Standing there quietly, at least one meter seventy-five tall. And also don't wear high heels. The delicate body is slender and slender, and the other positions are also a little sexy and precocious. With a towering chest and a slender waist, it looks even more seductive against the backdrop of a skinny denim and casual wear. And the sexy red lips, the rose-like lip petals, are mouth-watering!
"Huh. This young lady, are you calling me? "This woman looks like she is seventeen or eighteen years old, but her sexy body has matured to the point of a heartthrob.
"Of course it's called you, big brother, I'm Chinese. Just now I just saw that the eldest brother is very powerful, so I have a request, my grandfather is going to celebrate his birthday tomorrow, can the eldest brother help me pick a thing, not too expensive, it is about 10,000 francs. Hearing the girl's words, Fang Qi looked at the pitiful expression, and Fang Qi couldn't help frowning.
"Boss, how much does this stuff cost?" Fang Qi didn't want to refuse this girl, but he didn't want to take this oil bottle with him. So I glanced around the stall I went to nearby and looked at the things on the stall. Fang Qi picked up a small yellow bowl from a foreigner's stall next to him.
"Boss, good eyesight, this is an authentic Xuantong yellow glaze scratched double dragon pattern bowl, 100,000 francs?" Speaking fluent Chinese, Fang Qi looked at the man, but shook his head.
This is an authentic official kiln yellow glaze dragon pattern bowl, 7.5 cm high, 16 cm in diameter, 7 cm in diameter, the bowl is shaped as a round lip, deep abdomen and mouth below the slow collection, slightly hanging abdomen, circle feet, the outer wall is engraved with double dragon patterns, the yellow glaze glaze is pure, the glaze is uniform, it is a fine product in the porcelain of the Xuantong official kiln. And because the time of the unification of the dynasty is very short, there are not many official kiln porcelain heirlooms.
So this kind of porcelain, 100,000 francs of country F, that is, 120,000 yuan, although it is a bit expensive, but Fang Qi is still acceptable. But this is not Fang Qi to buy again, but that girl, so it is impossible to buy it for 100,000 yuan.
After some bargaining with the boss, Fang Qi wanted to reduce it to the minimum, and even wanted to say that it was a fake, but foreigners were not easy to fool, and in the end, Fang Qi only lowered the price to 30,000 francs, which was definitely a very low price. If Fang Qi absolutely buys it.
"If you want, pay for it, thirty thousand francs, very suitable?" Hearing Fang Qi's words, the girl was stunned for a moment, she thought that Fang Qi would take her to buy good things. But she didn't want Fang Qi to deal with it casually, she had just finished asking, but she didn't expect Fang Qi to casually find her a broken bowl at her feet, and pay 30,000 francs.
"You just found a broken bowl of 30,000? This big brother, I am looking for your help, but I am not looking for you to be fooled, this big brother, if you help me find a good thing, how about a thousand francs as a reward? Looking at this girl's temptation, Fang Qi couldn't help but say:
"Do you want to buy it? This 30,000 francs is already very cheap, this is the fine porcelain of the Xuantong period, but it took me a lot of saliva to talk from 100,000 to 30,000, little girl, don't know what to do. Otherwise, I'd have bought it. Hearing Fang Qi's words, the foreigner's stall owner couldn't help but look at Fang Qi with a look of approval.
"Really?" Hearing Fang Qi's words, the girl was a little shaken, but Fang Qi shook her head. (To be continued......)
