Ninety-one, the black market of cultural relics (1)
Because they didn't find the magic weapon in the collection of the head of the Sun family, their mood was a little dull, they went back to the living room to continue drinking tea, the tea had been replaced, it was still Wuyi Mountain rock tea, but everyone was not in the mood to taste tea.
"Come, Brother Sun, drink tea. The plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky. Don't take it to heart. It was the head of the Sun family who spoke, and when he saw that everyone was silent, he enlightened everyone. He is now the Sun family's Dinghai Divine Needle, and he can't mess with himself.
"Yes, the Sun family can mobilize everyone to look for it, the magic weapon is a fateful word, maybe everyone will find it thousands of times, and it will take all the effort." Ye Zifeng comforted everyone.
"Brother Ye, I know that there is a black market for cultural relics in the Shenzhen Market, and they will organize cultural relics sales and trading from time to time, and I have participated in this kind of transaction twice, and there are indeed many cultural relics in this kind of transaction, and I heard that there are even bronzes from the Warring States Period, because I am not interested in these, and I have not been there since then."
Sun Wu remembered a private antiquities trading party he had attended.
"You can go and see this, some cultural relics come from temples and altars, and they have been worshiped by incense for a long time, and after a long time, they will naturally become magic weapons. Maybe we can find what we need. ”
Ye Zifeng heard Sun Wu say that there was a private cultural relics trading party, so he suggested going over to have a look.
"Then I'll get in touch." Sun Wu went out and made a phone call.
After Sun Wu finished the call, he told everyone with a happy face that there would be a private cultural relics trading party tonight. Ye Zifeng saw Sun Wu looking at him, waiting for himself to say: "Okay, I'll go with you tonight." ”
When the head of the Sun family saw Ye Zifeng's statement, he went to this private cultural relics gathering with Sun Wu, so he specially told Sun Wu to make preparations, as long as Ye Zifeng fancied something, he would take it no matter how much it cost.
"If there are good things, maybe you can add some collections to Uncle Sun's collection room." Ye Zifeng quipped in order to liven up the atmosphere.
"Brother Sun doesn't say it, I know that I have a lot of treasures in my collection, Ah Wu, whether it is a magic weapon or not, as long as it is something that Brother Ye likes, take it down."
The head of the Sun family waved his hand and explained to Sun Wu again.
In the evening, Ye Zifeng got into Sun Wu's car to trade on the black market, and Sun Wu told him that he would pick up a contact person temporarily, and that person would take them with him.
In the car, Ye Zifeng called Luo Qingxue, saying that he had something to do, so he wouldn't pick her up from work, and let her go home by herself, and be careful all the way.
The car stopped at the mouth of an alley, Sun Wu gently honked the horn three times, and a person came out of the darkness of the alley, wearing a peaked cap to cover his face, looking left and right for a while, and then got into the back seat of the car.
"Sun Shao, the car keeps moving forward." Cap said to Sun Wu.
Ye Zifeng heard the voice very familiarly, but he glanced back, just as the cap also raised his head, Ye Zifeng saw a familiar face.
It turned out to be the monkey he had seen at He Aiguo some time ago, and the monkey was also stunned, but he quickly calmed down, pretending not to know Ye Zifeng, Ye Zifeng retracted his gaze and glanced at Sun Wu.
"Monkey, this is my friend, let's go see it today." Sun Wu said that it seems that Sun Wu and the monkey are quite familiar.
"Okay." The monkey replied simply, and then directed Sun Wu's car to drive into a small alley.
The alley has no street lights and is very dark.
There are several houses next to the alley that have been demolished, and a piece of flat land has been sorted out, and many cars have been parked on the flat ground, and the monkey instructed Sun Wu to park the cars on the flat ground, and then take them to the alley.
There will be a few people along the way, and the monkeys will casually nod to them. It turns out that these people are the people they put out to warn, if there is an abnormal situation, these people will immediately notify the people who are trading, let them leave quickly, it seems that this group of people is very cautious, if there is no monkey to lead the way, the two of them will definitely not be able to enter the black market trading place.
The monkey stopped in front of a house with the word "demolition" written on the wall, and instead of knocking on the door, he picked up a stone from the ground and knocked the wall three times, and in the middle of the night, the door "creaked" open, and the person who opened the door saw the monkeys and let them in.
"They're so careful, it looks like they have good goods today."
After following the monkey in, Sun Wu whispered in Ye Zifeng's ear.
Ye Zifeng found that the house had three entrances, the first one was not turned on at all, it was very narrow and dark. Through the first entry, when he arrived at the second entrance, he found that the second entrance was already full of people, Ye Zifeng actually found an acquaintance in the crowd - Liu Long, and a few familiar ones, who should have been seen at the Sun family party.
Liu Long was talking to someone and didn't notice Ye Zifeng and their arrival at all. The third entrance is separated by a curtain, so you can't see inside.
Sun Wu and Ye Zifeng found an inconspicuous corner to stand, in this crowd, Sun Wu should know some people, Ye Zifeng saw them see Sun Wu, nodded to each other, and said hello.
Standing behind the crowd, Sun Wu quietly told Ye Zifeng some rules for the black market trading of cultural relics.
Sun Wu told him that this gang specializes in the business of cultural relics and antiques, and that they are half-tomb robbers and half-collectors, and that they traffick cultural relics from all over the country to the Shenzhen Market, where they trade them on the black market, and if they cannot sell cultural relics, they smuggle them out of the market.
"Do you see that table in front of you?" Sun Wu motioned to Ye Zifeng to pay attention to the table in front of the crowd.
Ye Zifeng had already seen a desk that looked like a desk, covered with a piece of flannel, and the flannel couldn't tell the color.
Sun Wu told Ye Zifeng that they would put the cultural relics and antiques on the table, mark the low price, and then let everyone take turns to look at them, and whoever took a fancy would bid again. If a cultural relic and antique are favored by many people, they will compete to bid, and the highest bidder will win.
"It's like bidding?"
"Yes, but it's not." Sun Wu told Ye Zifeng: "The bidding will at least clearly tell you what the subject is, so that you will have a spectrum in your heart." Here, the cultural relics and antiques on the table are all up to you to identify, and they don't guarantee the authenticity of the cultural relics, as long as they get out of this door, everything is clear and irrelevant to each other. ”
"None of them tell us where things came from?"
"No, it won't. Everyone bids according to the reserve price they have marked, and their own vision. If you look away, you can only consider yourself unlucky. ”
"All these people you are involved in the trade are very professional? Aren't you afraid of buying good things? ”
Ye Zifeng was curious. Unless the people participating in the transaction are very professional and can identify the authenticity of the cultural relics, everyone will be worried about buying the goods, and the bids will naturally not be high.
"You don't know this, they still have a good reputation, anything that comes to them, they will take it first, unless they look away, they will not take the product here to trade. I heard that their boss is a good hand in this area, and after passing through his hand, the amount of food that flows out is very small. Besides, their price tag is also very low, cost-effective, and easy to pick up, and everyone is here for this feeling of leakage. I heard that some time ago, someone bought a cloisonné enamel snuff bottle with a wrapping branch lotus pattern at a reserve price of 500 yuan, and finally found that it was a model from the end of the Ming Dynasty, which was worth tens of thousands, and it could also be regarded as picking up a big leak. ”
"It turns out that everyone wants to pick up the leak before they come to trade." Ye Zifeng suddenly realized.
"It's not all, the most important thing is that they always have good things flowing here, so they attract a lot of people to come. You see, the white-haired man standing in front didn't? He is a professor of the Department of History of Shenzhen University, surnamed Cao, and everyone calls him Cao Ye in private. Sun Wu secretly gave a thumbs up.
"He's breaking the law."
"These cultural relics are all scattered among the people, and if they don't collect them, maybe they will be gone. If we don't buy it, they will smuggle it abroad, which means that the cultural relics will be lost. We came together to prevent the loss of cultural relics. Ye Zifeng didn't expect Sun Wu to have a vigorous defense, which was incompatible with his usual serious appearance.
Ye Zifeng listened to it and thought about it, after all, cultural relics are things left by their ancestors, and foreigners are cheaper, so it is better to stay in China and cheapen themselves.
