Chapter 485: The Black Market Officially Begins
That night, after the banquet ended, the group turned around and returned to the hotel after seeing Hu Yongwen and his family leave.
In the hotel room, Ye Feng was curious more than once and wanted to ask what Zuo Xinrui and Hu Chunyao said together, but looking at Zuo Xinrui's appearance, even if he asked this girl, he might not be able to say it, so he simply swallowed the words directly into his stomach.
Zhang Kexin, this girl, is the most depressed today, as long as she recalls the appearance of Zuo Xinrui and Hu Chunyao muttering together, she will inexplicably have an indescribable taste in her heart. In this girl's heart, there is a faint illusion, whether it is the same as her thoughts, and the same meaning as she wants to form an offensive and defensive alliance with Kong Xiaoyu, Zuo Xinrui wants to form an offensive and defensive alliance with Hu Chunyao.
After turning off the lights and falling asleep, the two daughters were thinking about their own little Jiujiu in their hearts, which made Ye Feng relieved again.
The black market officially began at 8 a.m. the next morning, and before 1 o'clock, the group got up and gathered together to go to the hotel restaurant for some breakfast.
After filling their stomachs, the group rushed all the way to the large bazaar located in the southern suburbs of the city.
At this time, the street traffic was not very crowded, and along the way, the group drove very fast, but in just over half an hour, the group arrived at the large bazaar located in the southern suburbs of the city, where the black market is held.
It is worthy of being the largest black market in Yangon every year, although it has not yet entered the inside of the bazaar, but at this time, it can be seen from the huge open-air parking lot outside, the countless cars parked, today's largest black market in Yangon, its liveliness, is definitely not comparable to the black markets they participated in before.
There is a faint tendency to catch up with the lively market of Myanmar.
After finding a few parking spaces and parking the car, the group got out of the car.
"Brother Liu, this year's largest black market in Yangon is indeed huge, you see now, we have gotten up early enough, but after arriving in this place, there are already scenes of cars and cars everywhere." Ye Feng looked around and sighed.
When the words fell, Du Yu was the first to respond: "Yes, but judging from the situation of these cars parked in the open-air parking lot outside, I am afraid that they already want to catch up with the liveliness of Myanmar's public activities." ”
"A black market can be held on such a large scale, and it is still held in a grand manner, I am afraid that it is only in Myanmar." Sun Zilong followed with emotion.
"Such a large-scale black market is really getting more and more exciting......" Zuo Yunlei said with some excitement.
Although Du Yu also likes to collect antiques, and he also has an almost fanatical paranoia about the collection of antiques, but if it is really discussed, his paranoia is still much weaker than Zuo Yunlei's obsession. After all, Zuo Yunlei's idea is to establish the world's largest private museum like Ye Feng, but his is not as ambitious as Ye Feng thought......
"In fact, such large-scale black market activities that can be held in such a grand manner are not only in Myanmar, such as Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and other countries, this kind of black market activities are similar to the situation here, and they are basically the default existence." Liu Feng said slowly.
Hearing this, the others were slightly stunned, but then came back to their senses. It is not difficult to understand that among the countries in this region, even China's economy is relatively developed, and the rest of them live far below the international poverty line.
"Brother Liu, when you say this, I am looking forward to the black market in places like Laos, what is the situation?" Ye Feng said with some expectation.
"This is easy to do, isn't it to buy mountains for characteristic scenic tourism development, when the time comes, go directly to those merchants in the antique city, when the black market will be held, where is the location, these antique dealers are very clear." Liu Feng replied.
"Yes, when it's over, you must go to those places where the black market is active."
"Let's go, let's go walk around first." Liu Feng continued, beckoning everyone to walk towards the large bazaar where the black market was held.
"It doesn't seem like it's eight o'clock yet, right?"
"It's true that the official start time is eight o'clock, but in fact, as early as a day in advance, the sellers who came to participate in the black market activities have already shipped their things, but it is less than eight o'clock to start, and any transactions are prohibited, so there are many people who will come early to look for treasures in order to grab them in advance." Liu Feng continued.
Walking into the black market, there is a lively scene everywhere, but from the position as far as the eye can see, there are all kinds of small vendors full of antiques, which is similar to the situation in the black market in southern Myanmar, and the types of antiques are similar to what they guessed, all of which belong to the five categories of antiques.
After all, this division of antiques, although it is the division of antique types in China's domestic antique streets, has basically been adopted as a common division standard in the world. With 5,000 years of history and cultural precipitation, if you pick up the qualifications of precious antiquities, there is definitely no other country that can shake the status.
Many of the small vendors were already crowded in front of their stalls, either casually looking at them or crouching down to stare at something carefully.
There are even some people who have already taken some things in their hands, and judging by the appearance, they should have planned to make a move, and they only have to wait for the time to officially trade at eight o'clock.
"I don't know if there are any treasures that have been looked for in advance, I knew that we should have come some ......time in advance," Ye Feng said a little dullly.
"It's not necessary, the black market will only open at seven o'clock, even if someone comes early, it is only an hour, and compared to such a large-scale black market event, these people who come in advance can choose very limited." Liu Feng continued.
Ye Feng didn't continue to say anything when he heard this, the truth is indeed as Liu Feng said, such a large-scale black market activity, there is still a day to go, even if he opens the special ability of treasure appreciation throughout the whole process, it will take a considerable amount of time to finish reading, and during this period, there will definitely be some treasures that will be discovered by others.
It is absolutely impossible to monopolize all the treasures that can be picked up in the entire black market activity alone!
Approaching a stall, Ye Feng did not rush to use his ability to identify, but stared at the things on the stall.
This stall occupies a place that happens to be at the entrance of the bazaar, and it also occupies a considerable area, and there are many antiques for sale, which directly cover all the categories of the five major antiques.
As he guessed, porcelain and metal utensils are mainly old objects in ancient China, and jade is nothing, after all, Myanmar is the world's largest jadeite producer, but jadeite belongs to jadeite, and there are some nephrite jade on these stalls, such as Hetian jade, the most famous in China.
Among the calligraphy and painting collections, but from the external situation, there are many local works in Myanmar, and there are some special things in those miscellaneous collections, except for some ivory products and some organ boxes Ye Feng is quite familiar, many other things that belong to miscellaneous collections, but many of them are unseen or even unheard of by Ye Feng.
"Brother Liu, these things in these miscellaneous collections should be things that are unique to Myanmar, right? I've never seen anything else. Ye Feng pointed to the miscellaneous collections in this stall, among which there were more than a dozen unique shapes.
The shape of these things is very special, a bit like a Buddha statue, and a bit like a doll, but if you look closely, you feel like it's neither.
The size of the things is not much, each is the size of a teenager's fist, but the workmanship is very exquisite, some should be made of metal, some are wood, some are wax carvings, and jade carvings.
"Haha, Brother Ye, you have a good eye, these are indeed things that can only be seen here in Myanmar, and they are characteristic of Myanmar." Liu Feng said with a smile: "These metal casting, wood carving, wax carving and jade carving things, although the materials are different, but in fact, they all belong to the same kind of things, I think you can also feel it from the shape." ”
Ye Feng nodded.
"This is the essence of Myanmar's cultural heritage, just like the meaning of the dragon in our Chinese nation, named Buddha." Liu Feng continued.
"Buddha?"
"Yes, it is the Buddha, which means that the people who believe in the Buddha are reborn in Nirvana, which has been handed down from a long time ago to the present, so in the miscellaneous collections here in Myanmar, if the most distinctive miscellaneous collections are these Buddhas, but these Buddhas are of different years, there are many years, and there are also those made now, if it is just a modern production of Buddhas, it is not too high, any pagoda, Buddha statues and temples are sold in Myanmar. However, most of the products of the factory machinery assembly line are not of high value, and some of the handmade ones are much higher than the products of these assembly line operations. But if it's some old or master-level handmade work, it's worth a lot! Liu Feng continued.
"Of course, those old Buddha dolls do not exist assembly line products, these artificially carved Buddha dolls, several monks carved Buddha dolls are the most valuable, according to the local saying, the monks will be stained with a special Buddha gas, carved out of things will be spiritual."
