Chapter 14 There are more than five thousand fragments
At the gate of Panjiayuan thrift market, Ye Lingtian jumped down from a taxi, walked into the market quickly, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Panjiayuan thrift market is the most popular antique goods market in the country, divided into six business areas, including stall area, ancient building area, classical furniture area, modern collection area, jewelry and jade area, catering service area, etc., mainly engaged in ancient items, handicrafts, collectibles, decorations, with an annual turnover of hundreds of millions of yuan.
As the New Year is approaching, there are many fewer people who come to Panjiayuan Taobaobei, and only a few people are still braving the cold wind to set up stalls in the usual lively market, and many shops have closed their doors to go home for the New Year.
Walking nearly half a street in the jade market, I finally saw a jewelry and jade shop that was still open, and on the carved railing pavilion on the second floor outside the door, there was a gold plaque on a black background, and the face was written "Strange Stone Zhai".
"Strange Stone Zhai, this spirit stone can be regarded as a strange stone, right?" Thinking of this, Ye Lingtian pushed open the door and stepped in.
Perhaps because the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are only two or three customers at the counter in the huge store, except for the clerk and security guard.
"Hello sir, what kind of jade do you want to buy? When someone pushed the door open, a female clerk in professional attire came forward. However, after seeing clearly that Ye Lingtian was wearing extremely ordinary clothes all over his body, his respectful tone obviously faded.
Ye Lingtian entered this kind of jewelry store for the first time, and he didn't know how to trade, so he got straight to the point and asked directly, "Do you accept jade here?"
"Jade, I don't know what kind of jade it is? Seeing that Ye Lingtian was young and dressed ordinarily, the professionally dressed woman's eyes showed a trace of contempt, obviously not believing that Ye Lingtian could come up with any good jade.
Feeling the contemptuous gaze in the woman's eyes, Ye Lingtian raised his eyebrows lightly a few times, secretly unhappy in his heart.
However, he didn't bother to deal with such a snobbish woman, so he directly took out a high-grade spirit stone from his mountaineering bag, and said lightly: "That's it, let's see how much it can be worth." ”
The woman in professional clothes took the spirit stone in her hand and looked at it for a long time and didn't see anything famous, and was about to taunt Ye Lingtian, when a middle-aged man in his forties dressed in Tang costume and wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked out of the back room.
When the woman in professional clothes saw this person, she said respectfully: "Mr. Li, this person took an unknown broken stone and said that he wanted to sell it, and I couldn't tell what kind of jade it was after looking at it for a long time." After speaking, he handed the spirit stone in his hand to the middle-aged man.
"Oh, can't you even see it?" The middle-aged man was also a little curious, took the spirit stone and looked at it, and took out a magnifying glass to study the spirit stone carefully.
After a while, the middle-aged man raised his head, returned the spirit stone to Ye Lingtian, shook his head and said, "This little brother, I have played with jade all my life, and I have never seen this kind of jade. I'm sorry!"
In fact, the spirit stone is the top quality jade, and some high-grade jade also contains very little spiritual energy, but mortals can't see it.
Since the middle-aged man didn't know the goods, Ye Lingtian wanted to change the store and take a look. But in a blink of an eye, he saw the jade jewelry on the counter, and seemed to think of something, put the spirit stone into the mountaineering bag, and then took out a jade wine glass from it and said to the middle-aged man: "Boss, I still have a few wine glasses here, you can also take a look!"
As soon as the middle-aged man's eyes touched the jade wine glass, a fine light flashed, his face changed several times in an instant, and he hurriedly took it and looked at it carefully with a magnifying glass, and his eyes showed a trace of greed from time to time.
After a long time, the middle-aged man retracted his gaze, deliberately pretended to be calm and said to Ye Lingtian: "Little brother, this wine glass looks good, but the quality of the jade is a little worse, and it is not very long, it is estimated to be modern." I don't know how much the little brother wants to sell? If the price is moderate, I'll collect it for you. ”
The high-quality ancient jade is said to be a little worse in quality? The ancient jade wine cup of more than 5,000 years is said to be modern?
Ye Lingtian's face sank, and a nameless anger suddenly surged in his heart, but he still suppressed his anger, and his face returned to his previous appearance, and he asked quietly, "Boss, what price can you charge?"
The middle-aged man looked at Ye Lingtian, his eyes flickered a little, and his eyes kept turning around, and after a while, he stretched out two fingers: "Two thousand." ”,
Hearing this, Ye Lingtian didn't even have the heart to be angry, he glanced at the middle-aged man with disdain, picked up the wine glass and walked out.
This middle-aged man really slaughtered himself as a fat sheep, he has never eaten pork, he has always seen a pig run. Although I don't know the market of jade in this life, I also spent a lot of low-grade spirit stones to buy this set of wine glasses in my previous life, not to mention that thousands of years have passed, and it has already become an old antique.
The middle-aged man saw Ye Lingtian turn around and leave, and hurriedly chased out: "Little brother, don't worry, everything is easy to discuss, I'll give you some more, three thousand, no, five thousand......"
Ye Lingtian sneered in his heart when he heard this, his face turned cold, and he said, "Five thousand, I'm just smashing the wine glass now, I'm afraid it's more than five thousand if it's a fragment!"
After speaking, he ignored the middle-aged man and turned around and went out.
The middle-aged man still wanted to chase after him, but when he chased him out, there was still Ye Lingtian to trace, so he had to beat his chest at the door.
The woman in professional clothes came over and said charmingly: "Mr. Li, it's just a small wine glass, look at that guy's shabby image, what good things can you come up with?"
"What do you know? That wine glass is at least an ancient jade of the Han Dynasty, and it can be auctioned for at least hundreds of thousands! I thought that kid was just a hillbilly who didn't understand the market, so he wanted to pick up a big leak, alas, it's all my fault, such a good thing was missed by me, he was right, even a piece of fragment is worth a lot of money!" The middle-aged man was still there with remorse.
But after a while, the look of remorse on the middle-aged man's face was gone, replaced by a gloomy face, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, and he beckoned to a security guard not far away, whispered a few words in his ear, and the security guard pushed the door and hurried away.
Ye Lingtian naturally couldn't see this qiē, and at this time he had already entered another antique jade shop.
There is a signboard of "Gu Yu Zhai" hanging on the door of the shop, with white characters on a red background, and the writing adopts the style of official calligraphy, which is thick and calm, solid and compact, and brings a strong classical charm to people.
There were not many customers in the store, Ye Lingtian glanced at a few counters, and most of them were jade jewelry, such as earrings, bracelets, ruyi, etc.
Walking around the booth and walking to the counter inside, Ye Lingtian glanced around, and without waiting for the clerk in the store to come forward to greet him, he asked directly, "Who are you bosses?"
Realizing that this was not the Cultivation Realm, and the people here didn't know the spirit stone, Ye Lingtian didn't bother to take it out again, but directly took out the wine glass.
