In the market days of the 5th and 9th of Luguo Town, Anning City, Yunnan Province, under the reflection of this primitive blue sky, this is a relatively remote township market, crowded with people, surging with people, crowded with people, crowded with people, and extremely lively.

In front of a remote stall in the northwest corner, a young boy of about twenty years old with a delicate face sat quietly, and in front of him was a red non-inverted cloth surface with a few scattered items: there were several old and yellowed ancient books in thread, a palm-sized copper ding, and a pot of clay; There are several copper wires from different eras, an old sword that cannot be seen in its true colors, and a set of first- and second-generation RMB patterns.

Obviously, this is a small stall that collects and sells antiques, and the small boss does not have many goods, but it does not affect the small boss's conscientiousness and diligence.

The little boss sat there with an indifferent expression, fiddling with a ring in his hand from time to time, studying it repeatedly. Sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling, unhurried waiting for buyers who are interested in his things to come forward and talk.

Because it was a remote corner, the crowd in front of the stall was very deserted, and not many people came to watch and ask, so he continued to lower his head and fiddle with the quaint crystal ring in his hand that he had just picked up on the way here.

Speaking of this ring, the little boss also thought it was very strange.

On the way first, it was this inconspicuous ring that made the entire road shine brightly and catch people's eyes. Driven by curiosity, he searched around and found the source of the glow. Fortunately, there were not many pedestrians on the road at that time, and they were all far away from him, so he thought about it and picked it up with peace of mind and held it in his hand.

In the center of this women's ring, a bronze ring is a soybean-sized crystal that has been carved with eight hearts and eight arrows, which blooms with a brilliant light of watery purity. There are four different bronze claws fixed around it, and through the magnifying glass, you can see the four small beasts carved by the micro-carving process: the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the Xuanwu. The carving is delicate and lifelike.

The little boss shook his head with a smile, thinking: This female ring is really fun, and the carving is really good! If you want to say that this thing is valuable, it doesn't feel like it! As far as the ring is concerned, the bronze material is nondescript, and no one wants it; Crystal, although very beautiful, but such a small piece, is not worth a few dollars; If you want to talk about antiques, I really don't know what to say, I don't know where they popped up, let alone what cultural and archaeological value they have. Hey, forget it, don't sell it, it's embarrassing to put it there, just take it in your hand and play with it, if you get tired of it, just skimm, whoever loves it wants it.

Just as he was thinking, a group of five tall men came to the stall. The leader is tall and sturdy, with a figure of about 1.88 meters, wearing a straight suit, standing there tall and pine. The complexion is slightly dark, the face is delicate, wearing a pair of big gold-rimmed sunglasses, and the face is expressionless, giving people the feeling of rejection.

The others were all bodyguards, serious, cautious, and indifferent, silently following him on standby.

The man at the head had a cold face, did not speak, and silently looked at the things displayed on the red cloth.

Suddenly, a rainbow light flashed out, and the man was startled, and looked for it, but found that it was the light emitted by a simple ring in the little boss's hand.

The man let out a light "huh" in his heart, and more curious eyes were projected on the ring, which turned out to be a simple and atmospheric crystal female ring from a distance.

The little boss was also stunned at this time, hurriedly looked around, saw the man in front of him looking over, and explained: "It's strange, why is it glowing?" You haven't been moving, huh? ”

After hearing this, the man frowned lightly and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?" Show it to me. As he spoke, a superior person's momentum erupted, as if he could not refuse.

The little boss's face turned pale, his mind was blank, and he subconsciously handed over the ring in his hand.

took the ring handed over by the little boss and looked at it carefully, and when the ring was in hand, it felt cool, as if he had taken a piece of cold ice. The moment the hands touched, there were rainbow lights flashing out, and the light was uncertain, and it faintly felt as if you had met an old friend who had not been seen for a long time and was greeting you.

The man was amazed and thought: Isn't it the Crystal Ring? What's the secret?

But he likes it very much in his heart, and he can't put it down, and he can't bear to put it down.

So he shook the female ring in his hand and asked, "Boss, what's the price?" ”

The little boss came back to his senses, saw the buyer's favorite look, and thought: Anyway, it was picked up, it shouldn't be worth a few dollars, and it can be sold if there is a "big head". So he gritted his teeth and said, "One hundred yuan, no counteroffer." ”

The man looked at the little boss, didn't hesitate much, reached out and took out a hundred yuan bill and handed it over, "Okay, deal!" ”

After speaking, the man took out the silk handkerchief he was carrying, carefully wrapped the ring, and put it in his arms. Beckoning a group of subordinates to leave the stall without looking back, the flow of people who blended into the front to catch the market disappeared.

The front of the stall was once again deserted, and no one came to watch and ask.

The little boss was still stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and he thought a little in his mind: "Why did you sell it?" It hasn't opened for a few days, is it just open? Is it some luck? Or is it a loss to sell? ”

However, when he looked up again, the men were gone. It was as if it had never happened, but the red hundred yuan in his hand reminded him that it had indeed happened just now, and it would not be a dream.

……

The group of people who just left is a young and promising antique predator who has been operating in Beijing's Panjiayuan thrift market for many years, Bao Qianqian.

At the age of 24, he has his own business store, doing modern collections, antiques, calligraphy and painting, jewelry, jade and other projects.

He often personally led his subordinates to go to the township markets across the country to collect and buy treasures, and it was ten days and half a month to go out.

No, I just came back from Guizhou, Yunnan. This trip has gained a lot, invested nearly 10,000 yuan, and purchased more than 10 pieces of antique treasures that I liked, and thought that there was a lot of room for appreciation.

The first thing I did when I came back was to the storefront, and I ordered my subordinates to clean and put the items that I had just acquired on the shelves, and put them on the most conspicuous counter, waiting for the buyers to come and admire.

Bao Qianqian took out the wrapped female ring from his arms, opened the layers of silk handkerchiefs, looked at the bright ring surface, solemnly closed his eyes again and stroked it, and felt it slightly, and the expected rainbow did not flicker again. It seems to have returned to its original rustic state, a kind of understated luxury.

Bao Qianqian put it in a conspicuous position on the jewelry and jade counter, and saw that it was so brilliant that he couldn't bear to let go of it. But after all, he is a businessman, he buys things that are destined, and only sells people who are destined, this is his creed since his debut, and it has never changed, so he has to give up!

A week has passed in the blink of an eye, and the things acquired last time have been sold one after another, and the profits are still considerable. But the women's crystal ring purchased for 100 yuan is still there quietly waiting for its destined person.

Bao Qianqian went to see it from time to time, played with it, and loved it. Since bringing it back to Beijing, it has not emitted any rainbow light again, it feels ordinary, and it seems to return to the basics, as if the previous luminous phenomenon is accidentally amusing you.

Bao Qianqian shook his head, but he didn't care, he didn't spend much money, and he couldn't lose anything. Therefore, the mentality is also very leisurely and self-satisfied.
