Originally, if he had been staying like this, he should have been promoted to a small leader now. But I know that I can't stay like this forever, and if I stay like this, I'm afraid I'll never see Qu Zhen again. In the summer of 2014, I submitted my resignation report, which was approved by the leader in charge and submitted to the Organization Department. Leaving behind the iron rice bowl, he returned to Lhasa and began to take a new path.

When I returned to Lhasa, my friend introduced an antique dealer and wanted me to learn antiques from him, but I was at a loss at the time. That afternoon, I met with an antique dealer in the tea garden on the top floor of Langsai Antique City.

When I arrived, he was already sitting there drinking tea, he didn't look much older than me, I heard friends say that he was very accomplished in antiques, and he didn't know much about other aspects, his surname was Wu, his name was Wu Jian, few people called him by his real name, and his friends in the industry generally called him Lao Wu, who was a master's student at the China Academy of Art.

I approached him, he looked up and smiled, and for a moment, I saw the light in his eyes and smelled the faint fragrance on him.

He gave me the feeling that he was very similar to Qu Zhen at the beginning, the same golden osmanthus will have a faint fragrance and glowing eyes.

I was stunned for a long time before I spoke: "Qu Zhen? ”

He put down the antique in his hand, walked over, knocked it on my head, and said, "You are okay, my name is Lao Wu, and the fat man has not introduced you to it?" ”

He knocked me on the head, and it was exactly the same as Qu Zhen knocked on my head at that time, I looked at him blankly and didn't speak.

But he smiled at me and said, "With the one-vehicle path, we can purify sentient beings, get rid of sorrows, and be true to the Dharma." Sun Xiaoshuai, right, follow me, if you have a high level of understanding, it won't take long to find the answer. ”

I didn't tell the fat brother who introduced me and Lao Wu about Qu Zhen, but when Lao Wu met for the first time, he actually mentioned the word "answer", I was very sensitive to this word, and I clearly remembered what Qu Zhen said that night, "Only when you find the answer can you find me".

Lao Wu said again: "Do our business, talk about fate, talk about inheritance, in this way, you worship me as a teacher." ”

I didn't think much about it, Lao Wu gave me a very strange feeling, I guess maybe he and Qu Zhen have some kind of connection, not maybe, yes, this Lao Wu must have a very unusual connection with Qu Zhen.

I subconsciously prepared to kneel down for him, watching TV and kneeling for tea and the like. He smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Don't use those red tape, you can call me Master in the future, in terms of antiques, I will try to teach you, as for the other ......" Master stretched his voice and said, "It depends on your understanding." ”

Since then, I have set foot on the road of antiques, and my intuition tells me that if I follow the master, I may really be able to find the answer and Qu Zhen.

However, since the first meeting, I have never smelled the faint fragrance on Master, but I can often smell the smell of sweat, and I have never seen the light in his eyes again.

Next, let's talk about the Tibetan antique business.

The antiques in Lhasa are mainly Tibetan Buddhist old artworks, but also include others, such as India, Nepal and even Thailand and Myanmar, as well as some Bon artworks, mainly Tibetan Buddhism, to say that it is called Pan-Himalayan art.

The more common ones include statues (gold and bronze statues, clay Buddha statues, stone carvings, wood carvings, etc.), thangkas (hand-painted, brocade, etc.), ritual utensils (practical practice vessels, offerings, etc.), miscellaneous items (this range is wider, including all kinds of beads, objects to wear, daily necessities, etc.), this is only a general range, and there are many others that have not been involved. At that time, the business was easy to do, basically the process was to receive, take pictures, publish, promote, and then wait for the money, when the business was good, it was normal to earn tens of thousands of yuan a day.

Of course, there is still an obvious gap compared to the industry leaders.

Those who play Tibetan know that there is a saying that the four sons of the capital lead the entire Tibetan industry. Explain, the so-called four sons of the capital, talking about Yang Zi (Huang Shengyi's husband, but Baidu), Jiazi (industry celebrity, not too famous in other aspects, it is estimated that Baidu can also be found, the founder of the now popular "Lu Zang" APP), Gangzi (the male god who plays Tibetan, handsome and handsome), Atom (this is not introduced, there is nothing to say, people say that it is to make up enough four people), the names of these people are more distinctive, and the end is "Zi", so people who do good things say this.

At the beginning, of course, I didn't understand anything, so I followed the errands, went to the antique city, rushed to Saikang, visited the forum, read the catalogue, and asked if I didn't understand, a long learning and accumulation process. Slowly, I have some understanding of the antique business, and people say that this line is deep, but it is actually fine, or that the Tibetan aspect I have come into contact with is simpler and less complicated.

Some people also say, "I won't open for three years, and I will eat for three years", this sentence has long been unsuitable for the current market. If you expect to open a store for three years, the daily expenses are not enough, you have to eat, you have to pay rent, etc., and now it is an information society, the degree of information sharing is very high, who has good goods in hand, what is the approximate price, which player can be shot, are relatively fixed, and there is also an auction book, the reference range is still there, don't think that you spend 3500 to pick up a leak, and sell it for tens of thousands.

There is a saying in this line that if you feel that you have missed something, it is often to take medicine.

The so-called leakage refers to the fact that you buy the object at a price lower than the actual price of an object, and taking medicine means that you buy the object at a price higher than the actual price of an object.

Each antique has its approximate value, which is unanimously recognized by the market, so if the price offered by the other party is far lower than the market price, then be careful, don't listen to what people say about the urgent need for money at home. Also, the rules of this industry, one hand of money and one hand of goods, don't recognize it when you go out, don't say that you feel inappropriate to return it after buying it, this is not buying clothes.
