Chapter 15: Don't Fool Me

The antique shop owner came to the spirit.

For those who are engaged in antique trading, there are actually two kinds of favorite customers:

One is naturally the kind of high-roller who doesn't care about spending a lot of money and doesn't spend money as money.

And the other is a turtle like Zhou Xun who comes to deliver treasures by himself.

But if you compare the two types of guests, they may prefer the latter.

After all, what they are doing is still antique trading, even if a high roller comes to the door, they must first have a treasure to be able to pull people in, which is the premise of everything.

Of course, it's not that you can't be fooled.

But those who can casually spend a lot of money are naturally unlikely to be ordinary people, and fooling such people, even if they can make temporary profits, they are likely to leave trouble.

This is not the case with the latter type of turtle.

Although this kind of person does not have the financial resources and courage to spend a lot of money, he can let these people collect priceless treasures at the smallest price, and there is no future trouble.

Overall, the benefits are likely to be higher than the former.

After all, in this day and age, antique collecting is hot, and as long as they have real things in their hands, they don't have to worry about buyers who are willing to spend money.

The opposite may not be true.

"Young man, it hasn't been long since it was fished out of the sea, has it? ”

When he took a look at the porcelain brought by Zhou Xun, the boss's eyes suddenly lit up, but on the surface, he was silent, as if he was gossiping casually.

Casting nets and fishing inadvertently caught ancient treasures is not uncommon in coastal areas.

Even if you haven't actually encountered it, at least you've heard of it.

And those like them, who are themselves in this business, have more or less received this kind of thing.

However, there are so many of them, but the condition is kept so intact, and it is rare that there is not even a trace of scratches.

He had a hunch that he was probably going to make a big deal this time!

Zhou Xun just smiled, but didn't answer.

The boss glanced up at Zhou Xun, but he didn't expect this kid to be so stable.

However, he continued to say to himself: "Young man, you must know that porcelain like this, which has been soaked in the sea for hundreds of years, even if it still looks neat and new, has in fact already seeped a lot of salt into it.

Once it is out of the original environment surrounded by seawater, the salt that was previously immersed in the air will continue to precipitate from it, causing the glaze layer to crack and cause the carcass to peel off, causing the value to plummet............"

"Simple desalination shouldn't be difficult, especially for an expert like you. ”

A voice suddenly interrupted the boss.

He couldn't help but raise his head in astonishment, and saw Zhou Xun looking at him with a smile, his eyes full of playfulness: "Boss, you don't want to lower the price, do you?"

The boss suddenly realized that he might have lost his eyes this time.

............

When he came out of Haishi Street, Zhou Xun had already had an extra 3 million in his account.

According to the careful appraisal of the boss of Baoyue Pavilion, the few pieces of porcelain he brought back this time were all antiques from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, although they were not the hottest ones on the market at the moment, they were all worth a lot.

It's easy to sell millions when you meet a connoisseur.

If you meet a collector who likes this bite and is not bad for money, it is not impossible to slaughter an eight-figure figure.

It's just that antiques are not cabbage potatoes in the vegetable market after all,

Not just anyone can afford it, antiques are hard to find, but the right buyers also have to take their time.

It is a typical business that has not been opened for three years and has been open for three years.

Normally, it is normal for an antique to sell for months or even years before finding a suitable buyer.

Therefore, the price offered by the boss of Baoyue Pavilion is already very kind,

You have to leave some profit margins for others.

Of course, to be able to run such a large antique shop, the owner of Baoyue Pavilion is naturally not a philanthropist.

At the beginning, the price he offered to Zhou Xun was actually 300,000, or the price of five pieces of porcelain combined.

It's only one-tenth of the final sale price.

After all, businessmen pursue profits, and if they can make more, no one will choose to earn less.

It's a pity that he chose the wrong target.

Although Zhou Xun is an out-and-out layman in the antique business, he can't stand his extraordinary power!

As I said before, dragons are born with the ability to sense and read mental fluctuations,

It is possible to directly read the brain waves emitted by other living beings to communicate directly on the spiritual level.

For beings who also possess extraordinary power and can control their own spiritual power, this may only be a means of communication across languages.

But for ordinary people who don't know how to control their mental power at all, it's even more terrifying.

Because as long as the mental fluctuations are a little more intense, the thoughts in the mind can be perceived, what is the difference between this ability and the legendary mind reading technique?

At most, the readability is not 100%.

Usually Zhou Xun doesn't use this ability casually, especially in daily life.

It's not like it's time for him to be principled.

Even if he has extraordinary abilities, he will never snoop on other people's privacy without permission.

The key is that human brains are well developed, and even thinking activities are much more active than other living creatures.

However, most of these thinking activities are meaningless and worthless.

For example, seeing a scene triggers many reliable and unreliable associations, reveries that are free when the brain is empty, and divergent thinking when you are in a daze............

Correspondingly, the transmission efficiency of brain waves to information is not generally high.

The same picture, if expressed in words, may take a few sentences or even dozens of sentences to describe it clearly.

But with brain waves, a change of thought is enough.

If you use this ability casually in your daily life, you will ingest a huge amount of information from the brainwaves of the people around you all the time.

However, most of this information is invalid spam.

Once this kind of information is ingested too much, it will crowd out the brain's computing resources and affect the brain's processing of those effective information, thus constituting substantial information pollution and affecting normal life.

Knowing the drawbacks of this, Zhou Xun naturally will not be idle and ask for his own hardships.

However, when necessary, he naturally will not abandon his ready-made abilities.

Therefore, the little caution played by the boss of Baoyue Pavilion was doomed to be in vain from the beginning.

It's like negotiating between the two sides.

Zhou Xun knows all about the negotiation strategy and the bottom line of the boss of Baoyue Pavilion, and he has already ridden the face, how can he lose?

So he was a layman who was blind to the antique business,

It was a bargain to kill the owner of Baoyue Pavilion, an expert, who was frightened and exhausted.

After he left, he went straight and walked away, treating the connoisseur as a turtle and getting an axe.

As a result, I didn't take advantage of the cheap, and it made people laugh.
