Shishi is the capital of Hebei Province, the political, economic, cultural, transportation, science and technology, financial and information center of the province, and is an area with an early development of human civilization and a very profound cultural heritage.

The Baifokou culture, Zhongshan culture, and Western merchant culture all originated in Shishi, creating a civilization that attracted the attention of Shijie, and because of its convenient transportation and rich natural resources, it quickly became a pearl of the North China Plain.

The ancient city with historical and cultural heritage, relatively speaking, the business of the antique market has always been very haode, especially in recent years, Chinese art has become popular in the international investment market, and even the domestic antique market has also flourished.

In the White Buddha Street, Hongqi Street and other places in the stone market, several antique markets have been established one after another, and every weekend, you can always see some people who come here with a magnifying glass and a small flashlight to Taobao.

"Brother Feng, these old men are here from all these places, what are we doing here?"

Walking in the antique market on White Buddha Street, Li Tianyuan was a little impatient, just now he saw a jade carved Pixiu is good, and wanted to take a look in his hand, but he was targeted by the stall owner like a thief, which made Li Tianyuan feel uncomfortable.

However, Li Tianyuan is not wrong, CCTV's treasure appreciation program has not yet come out, and it has not yet formed the craze of national Taobao in later generations, and the prosperity of the antique market at this time is only in those specific circles.

And most of the people who are engaged in collecting now are middle-aged or retired elderly people who have a bit of economic foundation, and Qin Feng's three young people are hanging here, which is indeed a bit eye-catching.

"Boss Li, you don't understand, it's about eyesight here, if you can pick up the leak, maybe you can earn eight thousand dollars with one thing."

When Xie Xuan Laozi was not bankrupt, he also wanted to play some elegant art, but he spent a lot of money on antiques, although most of the money he bought was fake, but Xie Xuan knew a little about the doorway.

"You just, then the boss didn't buy less things, and then they were all identified as fake?"

Li Tianyuan skimmed it when he heard this, Xie Xuan mentioned this stubble, he remembered it, once Xie Dazhi asked him to pick up an appraisal master to his home, and he was entertained with good tea and wine.

But when the master left, Xie Dazhi's face was dark, and he bought a house full of things, but none of them were real, so angry that Xie Dazhi smashed everything in that room.

"Yuanzi, what Xiaopang said is right, this thing is exquisite eyesight......"

Seeing the tall and strong Li Tianyuan standing beside him, it was indeed a little dazzling, Qin Feng opened his mouth and said, "Yuanzi, if you don't like to go shopping, just go to the door and wait for us!" ”

"Okay, Brother Feng, I'll wait for you at the exit!"

Hearing Qin Feng's words, Li Tianyuan was happy, turned around and ran to the gate of the antique city market, lit a cigarette and squatted there to smoke, looking at the beauties on the road here is more comfortable than accompanying Qin Feng to go shopping.

After Li Tianyuan left, Qin Feng became more and more meticulous, stopping at almost every stall, from jade to bronze coins, and talking with those bosses for a long time.

Although he didn't look very old, Qin Feng could talk about everything he picked up, and those old oilmen were often speechless by Qin Feng's words, and without much effort, Qin Feng's hands and neck were full of all kinds of antique gadgets.

"Brother Feng, do you still like to wear these things? Can...... But these things are fake! ”

Looking at the ivory carved bead chain around Qin Feng's neck and the small leaf sandalwood bracelet on his wrist, Xie Xuan's face became very strange, he didn't understand a little, why did Qin Feng spend money to buy them after saying that these were fake things?

Although these things were not expensive, adding up to thirty or fifty yuan, Xie Xuan knew that after giving them five hundred yuan, Qin Feng had a total of six or seven hundred yuan left in his pocket.

"It's fake, yes, but the workmanship is okay, if you don't hold it in your hand and look at it carefully, you can't tell it at a glance."

Qin Feng smiled when he heard this, and said casually: "Little fatty, what kind of antique business does the Nie family mainly do?" Is it calligraphy, painting, jade, or ceramic bronzes? ”

"I heard it's made of jade, right? I heard Boss Li say once that they seemed to have bought some kind of jade mine in Xinzhuang. ”

When Xie Xuan entered the juvenile detention center, Nie Yuanlong had already been released from prison, and he also heard some things about the Nie family from Li Tianyuan later, and he didn't know much about it.

"Playing with jade?" Qin Feng nodded, not saying anything, but then when he was wandering around the stalls, his attention was obviously focused on the various jade objects.

The sellers on the antique street are generally divided into two kinds, one is to set up a stall, take a newspaper shop is considered to open a business, this cost is very low, only need to pay a market management fee of five yuan a day.

For this kind of seller, the stalls are often filled with ancient coins or jade pendants, most of which are stained with mud and look like they are some years old.

The input cost of the second type of seller is much larger, because they are store-style and have to pay water, electricity and rent to the market every month.

These shop-style antiques are very finely classified, some specialize in selling calligraphy and paintings, and some specialize in selling jade, and the things placed in them look extremely exquisite under the projection of lights.

Of course, the price of the items in the store is also staggering, and the price of a gadget that looks no different from the outside is hundreds or even thousands of times higher than that of the stalls.

After walking around the stalls, Qin Feng began to visit those antique shops, but the attitude of the antique shop owners was much worse than that of the stall owners.

After coming out of an antique shop, Xie Xuan said with some unhappiness: "Brother Feng, can they make money by doing this business?" ”

Doing business is about opening the door to welcome customers, and the shops are open, but the bosses completely treat the two of them as air, Xie Xuan still has some young master temper in his bones, and he suddenly couldn't stand it.

"Xiaopang, in the antique industry, it is often not open for three years, but it can be eaten for three years when it opens, and those who open stores will accumulate some old customers or Tibetan friends, and they will not make money at all by retailing."

Looking at Xie Xuan's indignant appearance, Qin Feng laughed and said, "Why don't you ...... You go to Yuanzi, I'll go out after a while. ”

To Qin Feng's surprise, Xie Xuan actually shook his head and said, "No, Brother Feng, I will accompany you and follow you to increase your knowledge." ”

"It's more suitable for eating this line of food than Li Tianyuan."

Seeing that Xie Xuan actually calmed down all of a sudden, Qin Feng couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart, the six words "see more, talk less, and remember" have always been good words in the antique shop.

Before the liberation, the antique industry could also be regarded as a foreign eight doors, because no matter which antique shop or pawnshop, it was always inseparable from the word "thousand".

Antique dealers who make counterfeits always want to sell things as if they were fake, and the shops naturally don't want to receive fakes.

In this process, all kinds of bizarre stories happen from time to time, and of course, the old crooks of Qianmen are indispensable to make waves in it, and even some shops are opened by people in Qianmen.

Different from traditional business, the most important thing in opening an antique shop is not the source of capital and contact, but the eyesight, because whether it is buying or selling, once the eye is hit, the loss will be great.

Before the liberation, no matter the size of the antique shop, there would be a big shopkeeper, whose status was only higher than that of the owner, and many even owned some dry shares in the store.

There are naturally apprentices with shopkeepers, but the apprentices at that time can only look and not ask, not accepted disciples, the shopkeeper will not teach them anything, if you want to learn skills, you can only observe more.

Although Xie Xuan's temperament is out of the ordinary, his eyesight is much stronger than Li Tianyuan, at least in the bargaining just now, Xie Xuan spoke an authentic Shishi dialect, which really helped Qin Feng save some money.

Seeing Xie Xuan's performance, Qin Feng was a little moved to bring him into the industry, because according to the master, the golden and prosperous antiques in the troubled times will make a lot of difference in the future!

The current Qin Feng is no longer the Qin Feng who was satisfied with opening a scrap collection station back then, and he is too sorry for what he learned in his heart.

Qin Feng is familiar with the Three Kingdoms, but what he dislikes the most is Zhuge Liang, that buddy is tired to death, but Qin Feng is now thinking about forming his own team.

With this thought, Qin Feng's words also increased, and he instilled some of the ways of the antique shop to Xie Xuan, intentionally or unintentionally.
