The failure of the first attempt made Chen Jian a little frustrated, as the saying goes: people are not rich without windfall, and horses are not fertile without night grass. If you want to make 20 million in just two weeks, it is difficult to complete the method of not wanting to make a mistake.

On the way back, when passing by a pawn shop, Chen Jian had a flash of inspiration, not only the lottery ticket can be a million profits, but also the antique business has not been opened for three years, and it has been open for three years.

Of course, the pawnshop is the same as the lottery station, and the probability of winning the bid is too low, so you have to go to a place where there is a greater concentration of antiques, so that you can observe more items with data perception in a limited time. So I immediately took a taxi to Thin Waist Alley.

Thin waist alley is a famous antique street in Nanshan City, this street runs east-west, its east and west ends have two lanes wide, but the more you go to the middle, the narrower it is, and when you reach the middle of the alley, there is only a distance between one car and one car.

In the past, the thin waist alley was congested with vehicles all year round, but later the government simply changed it into a pedestrian street, so the more spacious east and west ends became a concentration of a large number of antique stalls.

When he was a child, Chen Jian liked to collect stamps, and often came to play in Slender Waist Alley, but gradually lost interest in stamps. It's been a long time. It's the same old way, starting from the intersection with one stall after another.

There are also various antique shops along the street, but the prices of the items in the shops are much higher, and those who like to collect antiques like to pick up the leaks, so there are often more people visiting the stalls than visiting the shops.

But in the antique market, it is the norm to look away. The talent of Chinese people in counterfeiting has been superb since ancient times, and the techniques are exquisite, and sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, all depending on luck. No matter how powerful the treasure connoisseur is, there are times when he is distracted.

Chen Jian also often ordered a few diners who like to play with antiques in the store to talk about the legend in the circle, who bought a broken pot for 200 yuan at the stall. As a result, someone identified it and found that it was the burial goods of the Warring States Tomb, and four million were bought on the spot. This myth of getting rich overnight attracts antique lovers to pick up the slack.

Data perception can detect and analyze the composition of the item, and then link to the antique, Chen Jian immediately thought of the carbon 14 detection method, carbon 14 is a radioactive isotope of carbon element, its half-life is about 5730±40 years, so by measuring the content of carbon 14 now contained in various carbon-containing items, and compared with its original carbon 14 level, you can estimate the year of the item, of course, this test has a certain error, and can only detect carbon-containing items such as charcoal, wood, bones, paper, leather, etc.

On the way to take a taxi, Chen Jian has downloaded relevant research materials through his mobile phone, and of course, he has added a functional plug-in of "carbon 14 age detection method" for data perception.

Because of the limitations of carbon 14 detection, although metals, jade, and porcelain without carbon are not considered, calligraphy and painting because even if it is the age of the detection paper, it does not mean that it must be genuine.

These doorways are also heard by Chen Jian when he listens to the braggings of diners, and after having the alpha system, the things he has heard and seen in the past will not be forgotten, and can be retrieved from the memory area by the alpha system when needed.

Chen Jian looked at the east house all the way, looked at the west house, and finally saw a stall where most of the wooden artworks, Buddha statues, Buddha beads, wooden combs, cigarette holders, and even relics.

The stall is a thin old man, looking at Chen Jian's young age, dressed ordinarily, and not introduced, with a posture that you like to see, don't touch it.

Because I watched the lottery before, the information of downloading carbon 14 has consumed a lot of biological energy, and my stomach really can't eat more, Chen Jian gritted his teeth and used the "faith in food" to open a 10-second digital perception.

After sweeping it, I really found some differences, although the most important thing here is an ebony wooden comb, which is more than 200 years, and the so-called relics are only five years. And it's pressed with bone meal. It is obviously mass-produced by unscrupulous profiteers, and its value is not much more expensive than glass beads.

On the contrary, there is a Buddha statue, 30 centimeters high, although it is only more than 80 years old, but Chen Jian found that its interior was not even wooden, and he could perceive that there was obviously a mezzanine inside, but because there was no comparable reference, he could not tell what was hidden inside.

Another strange thing is a stone, the test shows that this thing contains carbon elements, but it is beyond the detection range, which makes Chen Jian surprised, carbon 14 detection also has a limitation is that the validity period of the test is 60,000 years, more than 60,000 years can not be used carbon 14 to detect the year.

Chen Jian didn't expect that there was something from the middle Paleolithic period on this small stall, when the ancestors of human beings were still in the embryonic stage of civilization, and weak humans shrank in caves and hunted for a living.

Of course, it is not to say that something from the Paleolithic period can be called an antique, and the reason why antiques are valuable is because of their historical value and artistic value. If you go to the mountains and pick up a random stone, it may have existed hundreds of thousands of years ago, but it is still just a stone, just like a stone from thousands of years ago, a stone from hundreds of years ago, worthless.

But for some reason, Chen Jian felt that this stone was particularly attractive to him.

"It's a fossil." The old man saw that Chen Jian had been staring at the stone, and was finally willing to say a word to him.

"Dinosaur fossils?" Chen Jian asked in shock.

"Huh? Young man, you have a lot of imagination. The old man was amused by Chen Blade's stupid question.

"A fossil of a dinosaur egg can be sold for at least 200,000 dollars! Do I still have to stay here and set up a stall? "The old man doesn't look like a big man who can afford to buy dinosaur eggs, so he doesn't need to fool him with this.

"And how much does this thing cost?"

"You really want to take a thousand dollars."

"Can I touch it?"

The old man hesitated, but still agreed, Chen Jian picked up the stone with both hands, and found that it was unexpectedly light. No wonder the old man didn't offer a high price, and it was difficult to deceive people that it was a valuable thing.

Chen Jian put down the stone and pointed to the Buddha statue again: "How much does this cost?" ”

"Fifty thousand." The old man said impatiently.

"This thing is not in good condition, and the year is less than a hundred years old, can it be cheaper?"

"Nonsense, what do you know, this is a hand-carved Buddha statue by a monk in the Tang Dynasty, if you can't afford it, get out." The old man said angrily.

"Five thousand, plus stones." Chen Jian was unmoved, and directly discounted it in one breath. Although he didn't know much about the market prices of antique markets, when it came to bargaining, he followed his father to the farmers' market at the age of 10 to buy goods, and at the age of 12 he could kill seven in and seven out of the vegetable market. The old aunts who sell vegetables have to praise with admiration, this little bastard has grown up and paid it back!

As soon as he heard Chen Jian's offer, the old man still looked angry, but his eyes rolled.

"Five thousand eight, I have such a small amount of money on me, and I have to leave a hundred taxis to go home, if you don't sell it, I can only leave." Chen Jian took out his wallet and showed it to the old man. In fact, he went out today with 5,000, and the 900 was just won the lottery.

The old man secretly summed up in his heart, this stone was not worth much, and he didn't make a move after putting it for several years, and the Buddha statue was bought at a low price for hundreds of yuan, and more than 5,000 shots were considered ten times the profit, so he pretended to sigh, "I haven't opened it today, this deal should be regarded as a good luck, the boy is lucky, you picked up a leak." ”
