Chapter 93: Quick Taobao
There are two places in the capital that are crowded, one is Tiananmen Square, where everyone raises their heads to see the national flag raised, and the other is the Panjiayuan thrift market, where everyone bows their heads to look for national treasures.
Someone joked so. Regardless of how many real collectors are among the people who enter and leave Panjiayuan, just look at the crowds of people in the market and the lively trading scenes, you will find that how many people are performing wonderful stories in the same place and at different times. Even if you don't buy it, you still feel interested. What's more, there are so many surprises waiting to be discovered!
At half past eight in the morning, Zhang Yi arrived at Panjiayuan on time, probably because of the weekend or morning, there were twice as many people in Panjiayuan today as there were yesterday afternoons, and the real shoulders rubbed shoulders.
When Zhang Yi arrived at Mingyuzhai, Zheng Chuchu was already waiting outside, and today she wore a sportswear, a white cap, and a backpack of white travel shoes, and the whole person looked refreshing and full of vitality.
"Today's weekend, the stall area is very lively, and now that the morning market has just passed, how about going shopping first while there are not many people?" Zheng Chuchu took the initiative to hold Zhang Yi's arm and said as he walked.
"What is the morning market?" Zhang Yi wondered.
"The morning deal. Zheng Chuchu said: "The stall area opened at half past four in the morning, and the main source of customers is those antique dealers, who take flashlights to Taobao to buy, so if you really want to do this business, you have to get up early Taobao, and now at this time period, tourists are pouring in, and it will be difficult for you to find any good treasures." ”
"So that's the case!" Zhang Yi suddenly realized that those who really do the antique business all get up early to come to Taobao, and only tourists and some collectors will come after dawn.
"You have to learn a lot. Zheng Chuchu said with a smile.
"When are you leaving on your period? Zhang Yi suddenly whispered in her ear.
"Oh, why do you ask everything......" Zheng Chuchu's face turned red all of a sudden, this Zhang Yi is too bold.
"Ask what you're afraid of, and you're not an outsider. Zhang Yi said with a smile.
"I won't sue you. Zheng Chuchu let go of Zhang Yi and ran forward.
Zhang Yi naturally strode to follow, the two walked and strolled, and at the same time Zheng Chuchu also began to popularize some antique common sense to him, since Zhang Yi wants to do this business, then he must be familiar with the rules of this line and the common sense of collection, otherwise a rookie will not be able to play antique trading.
Soon, the two talked and laughed to the stall area, and there were more people in the stall area. There are a variety of old things on the stalls.
The reason why Panjiayuan is called the thrift market is because all the things sold here are old, and as far as the eye can see, they are all some nostalgic things hidden in the depths of our memory.
In addition to the common old items such as jade jewelry, there are also wood carvings, bamboo carvings, enamel candlesticks, powder boxes, Buddha statues, incense burners, tableware, cloisonné, old photos, old mirror frames, old musical instruments, old clocks, old radios, old cameras, old month cards...... On the breed style and so on, etc., it is dazzling.
Even Zhang Yi saw some foreigners carrying old record players like they had found a treasure, and their faces were excited.
These things have long since become a thing of the past with time, and they are not buying antiques, but memories.
"Who are these stall holders?" Zhang Yi said as he walked around.
"A large part of them are traders, of course, the traders are also collectors, and a small number of them are from all over the country to sell treasures, such as the neighboring Hebei and Henan places, there are many local farmers who take their family heirlooms to sell. ”
"Then what kind of antiques are the most valuable now?" Zhang Yi continued to ask.
"It's hard to define. Zheng Chuchu shook his head and said: "Among every variety, there are treasures, and the treasures are undoubtedly high-priced, such as the porcelain of some official kilns in the Qing Dynasty, if you can get it, you will make money, but now there are very few, and there are too many fakes." ”
"There's jade here, let's take a look first. Zhang Yi is still more enthusiastic about jade, because jade made him rich.
When Zheng Chuchu followed Zhang Yi to squat in front of a vendor, Zhang Yi also picked up a jade bracelet casually, because he felt that this jade bracelet was an antiquity.
"How much is this?" Zhang Yi asked directly.
"Eighty thousand, don't talk about it!" the vendor directly gestured to eighty thousand.
"I-grass, so expensive?" Zhang Yi handed the jade bracelet to Zheng Chuchu and whispered, "This bracelet should be an antiquity, right?" ”
"I can't tell if this bracelet is ancient jade for the time being, because it can be old, but I feel that this bracelet is not good, 80,000 is not worth it, if you can win 40,000, there is still some profit. Zheng Chuchu replied in a low voice.
"Is it sold for 20,000?" Zhang Yi asked the vendor.
"Not for sale. The vendor refused.
"Forget it. Zhang Yi glanced at all the jade artifacts and then got up to leave, among all the jade artifacts here, only this bracelet looked good, and the others were not antiquities.
Zheng Chuchu followed Zhang Yi and continued to walk forward, and Zhang Yi was also puzzled: "Why are the few pieces I bought in Shanghai so cheap, but they are expensive when I get here?"
"There are those who know the goods, and there are those who don't, the stall owner just now is obviously a connoisseur, and the few pieces you bought in Shanghai before are probably collected by some second-class or third-way dealers, and they don't know much about jade itself!"
"Then let's find a second-tier dealer. Zhang Yiti said.
"It's full of jade over there, let's go over and take a look, maybe you can really find good things with your 'eyesight'." At this time, Zheng Chuchu had already looked at Zhang Yi differently, because Zhang Yi was able to take out the best among the many jade artifacts at once, and he could also recognize them as antiquities, so Zhang Yi's eyesight was definitely not simple.
Not far away, there was a row of jade vendors, and after Zhang Yi spread fifteen meters with his mind, he soon found that four or five pieces of jade were in very good condition, and they were still some years old.
He quietly squatted in front of one of the stalls to pick this and look at that, and after a while, he picked up a jade wine glass and said, "How much is this cup?"
"Three hundred. "The stall owner looks like he is in his sixties, and he is dressed very ordinarily, but he really doesn't look like a peddler.
And when Zhang Yi heard that the cup was only three hundred, he didn't even think about it, so he directly ordered three hundred yuan and held the cup tightly in his hand.
"Let's take a look at the others, the things I have here are also collected, if you can make millions of things, I will also be famous, how about it, do you still like it?" the old man said with a smile.
"How much is this Pixiu?" Zhang Yi picked up another jade Pixiu and said.
"Nine hundred. ”
"Bought it. Zhang Yi counted the money again.
Zheng Chuchu did not see the color of the two pieces of jade that Zhang Yi bought, but carefully selected other jade objects in the stall.
She looks at it slowly, what is the color, the water head, etc., etc., etc., etc., all have to be analyzed.
Zhang Yi bought jade quickly, and almost immediately asked for the price at a glance, and then gave the money.
Taking advantage of Zheng Chuchu's time to see the jade in the old man, Zhang Yi went to other stalls, picked for a long time, and picked a jade plate, the plate was carved with pine pavilions, the jade was not good, and even some flaws, it was originally white jade, but there were some yellowing places, but Zhang Yi saw that the carving on the jade plate was particularly exquisite.
"How much does this thing cost?" Zhang Yi said excitedly.
"Two thousand...... If you ...... "This stall owner is in his forties, and when Zhang Yi was buying things at other stalls just now, he was secretly paying attention to it, and he also saw that this person didn't bargain when buying things, so he said two thousand, and then it meant that it could be cheaper."
It's just that he was interrupted by Zhang Yi, because Zhang Yi directly started counting money.
After counting the money and taking the jade plate, Zhang Yi went to the third stall and picked up a large ornament.
He belongs to pure fast Taobao, you must know that Zheng Chuchu is still carefully screening a bracelet at the first stall......
