Chapter 152: Hey! You say it's a coincidence, it's overdrawn again
"Shhh
The next day, Zheng Jing was woken up by the sunlight shining on the head of the bed.
The first thing Zheng Jing did when he opened his eyes was to touch his waist.
The feeling of soreness and weakness made Zheng Jing unable to even get out of bed.
Not good, overdrawn.
Thinking of last night's madness, the corners of Zheng Jing's mouth rose, and he couldn't stop reminiscing.
"Alas! It would have been nice to have one person left yesterday, but I don't know what I thought at the time, but I actually left two people. ”
Thinking of last night's madness, Zheng Jing felt soft all over.
No, it looks like I'm going to have to drink more tiger whip wine when I go back.
After washing up, Zheng Jing took out food from the space and replenished it.
I spent so much energy last night, so I want to eat a little more today.
After eating breakfast, Zheng Jing saw that the time had come to nine o'clock.
After packing up his things, Zheng Jing took his backpack and locked the door and left.
Coming to the downstairs hall, Zheng Jing told the front desk attendant to ask her to find someone to clean up the room.
When I got to the car, I set the navigation pedal and stepped on the accelerator and drove towards Notting Hill.
Notting Hill is the name of London's West End, near the northwest corner of Hyde Park, a mixed-use area of people from all over the world known for its annual carnival.
Notting Hill is a vibrant and fashionable paradise for locals from all over the world. Error-free updates @
Portobello Road is lined with casual cafés with a bohemian vibe, as well as a bustling open-air market with a wide range of antiques and vintage items.
In addition to antiques and coffee, there is also a luxury cinema where you can enjoy a movie in a luxurious armchair after watching antiques and coffee before leaving.
The Westerburn Grove neighborhood is full of fine restaurants, brunches and high-end boutiques.
In August, the annual Notting Hill Carnival attracts a large number of visitors.
Nottinghill Carnival began in 1965 as a famous local carnival in London, attracting more than a million people at the end of August every year, even closing banks.
It's the highlight of Caribbean life in London, which takes pride in costumes, dancing and music every year. Pop music genres include Sehall and Reggaeton.
Drive on Sutherland Avenue and continue a few hundred metres until you reach the end of the road and turn left and then right onto Portobello Road Market.
Looking at the crowded market, Zheng Jing parked his car in the parking lot outside the market.
Before going down, Zheng Jing took out the vampire weapon box and the Nanmu box containing the silver statue of the Eight Ji Angels.
Zheng Jing was going to sell all these things.
In addition to these two things, Zheng Jing also thought about selling the ten ruby sapphires.
But for safety, he was only going to sell two things in this market.
The rest of the gems he was going to shoot in another place.
Portobello Market is located in the heart of Notting Hill, surrounded by Holland Park and Kensington Memorial Park.
In addition, Kensington Park and Hyde Park are located on the right side of the perimeter of these two parks.
On the left, there is a climbing gym and a multicultural community called Shepherd's Grove.
In addition to these places of recreation, there are schools and tennis courts, amusement parks, and much more in the surrounding area.
The most prosperous places in the neighborhood are Portobello Market and Kensington.
Although Kensington and Notting Hill are next to each other, the consumption levels on both sides are significantly different.
Kensington is an upscale neighborhood that brings together Victorian architecture and embassies from various countries.
Arguably the most central area of London.
The Portobello market is neatly planned, with a road in the middle of the market and open-air stalls selling various goods on both sides of the road.
Today is a day off, and there are a lot of people who come here to play or buy things.
Zheng Jing observed it and found that this place is indeed the same as what is said on the Internet, and people from many countries have it.
Seeing that there were many people in each stall, Zheng Jing couldn't help but guess how much money these stall owners could earn in a day.
Walk to the first road of Portobello Market. (This chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 152: Hey! You say it's a coincidence, it's overdrawn again
mouth, Zheng Jing walked to the left side of the road.
Here, there are several antique shops and pawn shops.
This time to sell something, Zheng Jing is going to go to the pawn shop to have a look.
As long as the price given is right, Zheng Jing is ready to sell.
"Lynx Pawnshop"
Seeing the name of this pawn shop, Zheng Jing looked to the side, it was a shop selling African-style fabrics.
Let's go to this pawnshop first.
When you walk into the store, there is a lot of things inside.
Zheng Jing thought that the store was very small, but who knew that it was actually very big inside.
Looking at the space, it should look like 200 square meters.
The pawn shop is different from the ancient one in China, and here it is a waist-high wooden cabinet in a circle.
There is an entrance and exit at the four corners of the south, east, west, and north.
Behind the cabinet, is a custom-made storage cabinet that is more than two meters high.
There are a lot of items on it, the most conspicuous being a row of weapon racks with five beautiful swords on it.
There aren't a lot of people in the shop, but there are queues at all four counters.
Zheng Jing took a look and chose the counter on the opposite door.
After waiting in line for more than half an hour, it was his turn.
"Good morning sir, my name is Bobbi Leo, the owner of this shop, what do you call him?"
Although Zheng Jing looks young, Bobby Leo does not look down on him in the slightest.
That's why his business is so good.
Seeing the bald head in front of him, Zheng Jing guessed that he should not be British.
Because although the British are bald, the vast majority of them will never shave their heads.
Of course, there are a small number of people who do, but very few.
After all, their own pride does not allow it.
"You can call me Zheng, I'm here to sell these two things."
Zheng Jing put the Nanmu box and the vampire weapon box on the counter.
Bobbi Leo looked at the two boxes on the counter, and instead of opening them in a hurry, he asked about the origin of the items.
"Sir, can you tell us about the origin of these two items?"
As long as the origin of the item is not clear, Bobbi Leo will never accept it.
Seeing Bobbi Leo asking about the origin of the item, Zheng Jing understood why there were so many customers in one pawn shop.
Zheng Jing organized the language and said, "You should see, I am not English, I came here for a few days to travel, and two days ago I went to Plymouth, where I bought these two items at a market. Error-free updates @"
After speaking, Zheng Jing opened the Nanmu box and took out the silver angel statue.
"The boss said that this silver statue of the Angel of the Eight Ji was an ancestral item of his family, and he took it out and sold it because of the compulsion of life, and I saw that it was good, so I bought it.
Since I was staying at a nearby Holiday Inn and knew the name of Portobello Market, I knew that there were many antique shops and pawn shops here, so I came and took my things to see. ”
Hearing Zheng Jing's words, Bobbi Laiao didn't know whether it was true or not, but seeing Zheng Jing's skin color and appearance, there should be a great possibility that what he said was true, and he really came here to travel.
Since the origin of things can be said "clearly", Bobbi Leo decided to take a look at things first.
Poopy Leo put on his white gloves and said to Zheng Jing, "Okay sir, I'll take a look at things first." ”
Holding it in his hand, Bobbi Leo was amazed.
It's heavy.
He thought that the statue was hollow, but judging by the weight of the statue, it was solid.
Bobby took the statue in his hand and carefully looked at every part of the statue.
When he looked at the bottom of the statue, he saw that there were several letters "green" underneath, which together meant green.
Green?
Is this a personal name or a surname?
Bobbi Leo didn't know if the word Green was a first or last name, but, judging from the items, it was definitely of high value.
He's already decided, take the things away.
Carefully placing the angel statue on the counter, Bobby Leo was glad that he had just replaced the glass case with one the other day. (This chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 152: Hey! You say it's a coincidence, it's overdrawn again
solid wood cabinets.
"It's a good thing, I don't know how much you want, sir?"
Bobbi looked into Jeong's eyes, guessing that he shouldn't know the value of the item.
But Zheng Jing's next words let Bobby know that he was thinking too much.
"Half a million pounds!"
"Ahem!"
Hearing Zheng Jing's price, Bobbi Leo almost choked on the water.
Putting down the water glass, Bobbi Leo blushed and said, "This is impossible, this price is too high." ”
Of course, Zheng Jing also knew that the price was very high, but he couldn't help it.
Because this statue is only made of silver, the price of this statue will not be higher than the price given by the system in terms of material.
This is still a good preservation of the item, there is no oxidation and blackening, if this angel statue is oxidized and blackened, the price will definitely not exceed 100,000 yuan.
He thought about it when he came, and first gave a price higher than the system.
Then bargain with them, as long as it is lower than the lowest price given by the system, Zheng Jing will sell it.
Bobbi Laiao glanced at Zheng Jing seriously, not knowing if he was serious or casual about the price he said.
As a pawnshop owner, Bobby Leo decides to think differently.
He looked at another item on the counter.
I saw him point to the vampire weapon box and say, "By the way, what's in this mahogany box?" Is it also going to be sold? ”
Zheng Jing is waiting for Bobby Laiao to bargain, who knows that he will not play according to the routine.
Seeing that Bobbi suddenly turned the conversation to another item, Zheng Jing instantly understood his thoughts.
If he hadn't known Wu Shixun and the five of them, Zheng Jing would definitely have been cheated by his trick.
But since he met Wu Shixun and Zhang Zhiyuan, the five of them told Zheng Jing a lot about the rules and traps in the circle.
At that time, Zheng Jing bought a lot of books about antiques, and thought that he would have time to go to the antique market to pick up leaks.
Therefore, Zheng Jing remembered their words very clearly.
Therefore, Poopy Leo's trick to change the topic and make him let his guard down is absolutely low-level.
Holding back a smile, Zheng Jing pulled the vampire weapon box to his side and said, "Of course, but I will wait until I sell this angel statue to talk about this thing." ”
Bobbi Leo touched his bald head and said with a smile: "Okay, but 500,000 pounds is absolutely not okay." ”
"And how much do you give?" Zheng Jing asked.
"I think 100,000 pounds is good."
Hearing this price, Zheng Jing almost laughed. Error-free updates @
Good guy, this knife is cut, those grandmothers who buy vegetables are not as ruthless as him.
"Your price is too low, 450,000."
"No, your price is too high, I'll give you 110,000 at most."
Next, the two began a fierce bargain.
In the end, after a confrontation, the silver statue of the Eight Angels was sold to him for two hundred and fifty thousand pounds.
250,000 pounds sterling is equivalent to more than 2 million yuan.
After receiving the money and the transaction was completed, Zheng Jing and Poopy Laiao shook hands and were very happy.
Bobbi Leo looked at the mahogany box and said, "It's time to get the contents out, right?" ”
"Of course, this is called a rare item, I don't know if you have seen it."
Zheng Jing said as he opened the box.
Hearing Zheng Jing's words, Poopy Laiao looked at it curiously.
He wanted to see what was inside the box.
"What is this?"
As the box opened and saw its contents, Bobbi Leo was dumbfounded.
He had been a pawnshop owner for twenty years, and this was indeed the first time he had seen this item.
Seeing the five dark red glass bottles in the top compartment of the box and the twenty or so silver weapons below, Bobbi Leo decided to call someone.
Before calling the people, Bobbi Laiao asked Zheng Jing again: "This box is also in Puli." (This chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 152: Hey! You say it's a coincidence, it's overdrawn again
Did you buy it at the bazaar in Maymouth? ”
Zheng Jing did not answer him, but pointed to the upper and lower connections under the box, which together means "Green".
"Of course, you should have seen that this box has the same origin as the angel statue."
Since there was nothing wrong with the things, Bobbi Leo decided to call someone.
"Okay, I'll make a call first and find someone to come over and have a look, this is indeed the first time I've seen this thing."
Seeing Bobbi Leo take out his mobile phone and start calling, Zheng Jing knew that he was serious.
Bobby Leo also had a teacher, and his knowledge of antiques was learned from him.
Since becoming a pawn shop owner, Bobbi Leo will ask his teacher whenever he encounters something he doesn't know and ask him to help him take a look.
Before making a call, Bobby Leo also deliberately checked the time and made sure that there was no problem with the time before calling.
His teacher was a professor at the University of Oxford, where he taught history.
After talking to the teacher about the information and appearance of the item, his teacher guessed what the item was.
After hearing the name and function of the item, it dawned on Bobby Leo.
Hanging up the phone, Poppy Kulaio said, "Do you know the name and purpose of this item?" ”
Zheng Jing nodded: "When I bought it, I heard the boss say that this is a vampire weapon box, and the silver weapon in it is specially used to hunt vampires. ”
Hearing that Zheng Jing knew what the item was, Bobby Laiao scratched his head and said straightly: "This thing is rare, and it is well preserved." Let's talk about the price. ”
Bobby Leo knew from the angel statue just now that Zheng Jing was a person who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger.
"Sixty thousand pounds."
Hearing this price, Bobbi Leo shook his head and said, "This price is too high, this item is not worth that much money." ”
"Thirty thousand, the highest price I gave."
Poopy Leo said.
"I won't sell it for 30,000 pounds, at least 50,000 pounds."
30,000 pounds is already lower than the system's minimum price, and Zheng Jing is unlikely to agree.
Poopy Leo saw that Zheng Jing disagreed, and said another price.
"Fifty thousand is still too high, I'm adding a little, forty thousand."
Hearing that Bobby 슷 came to Ao for 10,000, Zheng Jing was a little moved.
The price he was most satisfied with was forty thousand to forty-five thousand pounds.
Since Bobby Leo had added so much money at once, he must have wanted to buy the item.
Since this is the case, Zheng Jing decided to talk about a price.
"Forty-five thousand pounds, that's the lowest price, and if you don't agree with it, I won't sell it."
Hearing the price, Bobbi Leo looked at the vampire's weapon case and finally agreed.
"Deal."
Both items were sold at a price he was satisfied with, and Zheng Jing was delighted.
After receiving the money, Zheng Jing asked if he knew someone with the surname Green.
Bobby Leo shook his head, he didn't know anyone with the surname Green.
Coming outside, watching the people coming and going on the road, Zheng Jing decided to go to other shops to have a look.
This street is full of large shops.
For example, the Bobcat pawn shop just now, the area inside is very large.
Looking at the antique shops on this street, Zheng Jing didn't see what he wanted to buy.
Coming out of an antique shop, Zheng Jing was still thinking about the Dalong stamp he had just seen.
It's a pity that the owner of that shop actually knows the value of the Dalong stamps.
He was still thinking about picking up the leak.
After visiting these shops, Zheng Jing decided to go to the antique stall to have a look.
Coming to the nearby antique stalls, Zheng Jing looked at them one by one.
There are not many antique stalls, and it takes a long time to see them.
From these stalls, Zheng Jing found that the most furthest item was a 16th-century coffee pot.
Most of the objects are from the XVIII-XIX centuries.
Because they were all very common items at that time, Zheng Jing didn't like these things, so he didn't buy any of them.
。 (This chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 152: Hey! You say it's a coincidence, it's overdrawn again
After visiting these stalls, Zheng Jing was not ready to go any further.
It was already noon, and he decided to go to the market for a bite to eat and then go to Kensington Church Street.
After lunch at the market, Zheng Jing came out of the Portobello market.
Back in the car, Zheng Jing drove out and headed towards the nearby Kensington neighborhood.
In addition to Victorian architecture and embassies, the Kensington neighborhood also has a Museum of Natural History and a Science Museum.
In addition to animal specimens, the most famous thing in the museum is the fossils of dinosaurs.
Zheng Jing has never seen what dinosaur fossils look like since he was a child.
On leaving, he decided to check it out.
When Zheng Jing was eating at Portobello Market, he heard that a family of five was eating with their children, and from their mouths, he knew that there were many exhibits in the Science Museum that visitors could do with their hands.
Judging from the exhibits they were talking about, Zheng Jing did not have the slightest interest.
In addition to museums, Kensington is home to Kensington Palace, the Royal Albert Hall, Kensington Street for its fashion boutiques, and the antique shops on Kensington Church Street.
And Zheng Jing went to Kensington Church Street first.
He's going to look at the antique shops on this street to see if he can pick up any leaks.
After all, in the Qing Dynasty, the Thirteen-Power Coalition took a lot of things.
After so many years, there must be some people who can't survive to sell the looted items.
That's why, whenever he goes to Europe and the United States, he has to go to the local antique shops and flea markets to have a look.
