Chapter Seventy-Six: A Street of Antiques
The next day, in the morning, a very melodic sound woke up Li Zhiwen who was lying on the recliner, and an old man was standing in front of the bench with a radio and listening, and the songs in it were already very old.
Li Zhiwen slowly opened his eyes and sat up directly, and the old man did not hesitate at all, and sat directly beside Li Zhiwen.
The old man didn't care about Li Zhiwen, and everyone fiddled with their own radios, and Li Zhiwen didn't pay attention to the old man, and stood up and left directly.
Li Zhiwen casually found a breakfast shop, and after a simple breakfast, he found a staff compound, there was a faucet in the yard, and after a simple wash, Li Zhiwen went to the city.
Li Zhiwen's sense of direction is very good, just after simply looking at the map a few times, he knows the approximate places of all the places in Black Sea City.
He only took 300 yuan and came to Black Sea City, and his 10,000 deposit certificate was left at home, which could not be moved, and was left for his younger brothers and sisters to need.
Now my top priority is to do some small business and earn some start-up capital, otherwise I will not have the money to buy goods in Guanghai and Guanghai by then.
Li Zhiwen had already thought about it on the first day he came to Black Sea City, and the best way to make money now was to make extra money on foreigners.
Li Zhiwen knows very well that the mentality of foreign friends in this era to come to Yanxia is undoubtedly that after the implementation of reform and opening up, the door wants to be opened to the whole world, and for this mysterious country, it is also a great temptation for foreign friends.
And I am also very curious about some strange things here, and I have a great interest in them.
So, Li Zhiwen had the psychology of an old yin goods, and directly took the bus and went to the antique street in Black Sea City.
In the decade from the 80s to the 90s, antiques and other imitations were very worthless, and there was no market, except for foreign friends who would buy them, almost no one went in China.
Therefore, in this era, an antique street was set up in the city, which was definitely a big city, and most of the people in it were "mane" to earn foreign friends.
But foreigners are not all so stupid, once they were fooled, twice they were fooled, but he will definitely not be fooled for the third time.
Therefore, if foreigners come to the antique street, they will bring a very knowledgeable Chinese friend to help them pick up the bag.
The antique street in Heihai City is much smaller than that of Panjiayuan in Shangjing, that is, on both sides of an aisle, small traders sit there directly with a small horse, and put a carpet directly on the ground, on which are all kinds of old objects.
However, these vendors came out of their stalls quite early, although it was still early in the morning, but now both sides of the aisle were already full, probably to grab the stalls.
At this time, there are only scattered old men walking in the bends, walking in it, although there are many to see, but most of them will not be sold.
Most of the people who can be in the antique street early in the morning are nearby residents, and they are just to see the excitement when they go here.
These vendors are also used to this, and they don't bother to greet them.
Li Zhiwen walked around the street, and none of the vendors paid attention to them.
Li Zhiwen casually found an honest man who looked kind.
This stall is not small, Li Zhiwen squatted down directly, and carefully looked at the old objects in the stall.
Li Zhiwen casually picked up the jade gourd with soil on it and observed it carefully.
Before I could finish reading, I heard the vendor say directly in disgust: "Be careful not to fall, this is an object from the Ming Dynasty." ”
"Huh."
Li Zhiwen smiled, he also had some understanding of jade in his previous life, and through his friend's explanation, he also collected some jade.
But at the moment, this gourd, Li Zhiwen just touched it, and he probably already knew the material, and it was considered jade, and it could only be regarded as a stone such as agate, which was the lowest cost.
"Okay."
Li Zhiwen agreed, raised the jade gourd and shook it against the sun, and took a look, this is a flawed thing.
"Boss, how much is this?"
Li Zhiwen shook the gourd in his hand and asked.
"Tap, tap, this is a Ming Dynasty thing." The boss looked at Li Zhiwen, shook his head and said, "You can't afford to sell this thing, you can get it, you better go." ”
The boss pretended to be mysterious, and his eyes were still looking down, meaning that Li Zhiwen could put down his things and leave.
Regardless of whether the other party wants to buy it or not, as long as it is a price, the profiteer habits cultivated over the years will be revealed, and this trick is not less useful for foreign friends, and it has not been tried and tried.
"Okay, boss, you can afford it, how much is this broken stone?"
Li Zhiwen directly threw the gourd into the air, and then picked it up casually, very casually.
Hearing what the other party said, and he didn't care, the vendor grinned, this is an expert, so since it has been broken, there is no need to pretend to be it.
"I can pay for a handwork, two dollars."
Li Zhiwen frowned and bargained: "Boss, you are not affordable, this kind of mass-produced thing, where is it so expensive, look at the traces of machine cutting, how obvious." ”
Li Zhiwen directly handed over the gourd boss.
The boss shook his head helplessly: "The lowest piece of five, it really can't be low, and no matter how low it is, it can't be hooked." ”
"One piece."
"Okay, then a piece."
The boss didn't hesitate at all, and nodded directly.
Grass, a little impulsive, give it high!
Li Zhiwen suddenly regretted it.
But there was no way to do it, they had already said it, and immediately took out two five cents from their pockets and handed them to the boss.
"Haha, good boy, come back often in the future."
The boss smiled and took the money.
Li Zhiwen looked at this little gourd, he was still very satisfied, this thing is still relatively thorough, if he really doesn't understand jade, he really can't see the quality of this thing.
Soon it was noon, and after Li Zhiwen casually ate a bowl of noodles at the intersection, he immediately turned back to the antique street.
Li Zhiwen has been squatting at the mouth of the alley with little traffic, where he can just see the situation in the antique street.
It was about after noon, and the number of customers in the antique street increased.
But there are no foreigners, and the people here, that is, some businessmen from other places, have a hobby of collecting antiques, and come here to have a look, but there are really not many people who really buy.
