Chapter 456(2/2)
There were indeed a lot of good things in the market in the afternoon, such as some rare antiques from the Song Dynasty, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Zhou Jianguo saw a lot of them. He even saw some antiques from the Han Dynasty. However, these antiques were all
It's miscellaneous items. Zhou Jianguo has no love for miscellaneous items.
Although there are many rare antiques here, the stall owners here are more sophisticated and have a strong eye for them. But the prices for better antiques are always high. Don't talk about the market price, it is just the market.
Several times the price.
Even if you negotiate the price hard in the end, the deal will be settled at the market price in the end. Not only is it unprofitable, but it also consumes a lot of talk and energy. It can be said that the gain outweighs the loss.
In fact, these stall owners do this on purpose. In the antique industry, the most attractive thing is the bargaining with stall owners. Many people like to watch this kind of excitement. Therefore, as soon as the bargaining starts, people will be attracted immediately.
Others came to watch.
This brings popularity to the stall owner. Maybe people on the ninth floor will not buy his stuff, but as long as two or three people buy it, it is a big income for the stall owner.
Don’t forget, this is an antique street, and all antiques are bought and sold. Even if you make a transaction, the amount will not be low.
Zhou Jianguo learned this once. It was a piece of Xuande porcelain from the Ming Dynasty, and it was also a large-door porcelain. Zhou Jianguo wanted to buy it, so he negotiated the price with the stall owner.
Later, Zhou Jianguo experienced these things. The stall owner kept fighting with him over the price. Moreover, the sound was very loud and loud, attracting many people to watch.
In the end, Zhou Jianguo won the piece of Xuande porcelain, but the stall owner made more money. Among the onlookers, three people also bought several antiques.
Seeing this, Zhou Jianguo couldn't help but shake his head. All walks of life have their own business methods, and the business methods of these stall owners are quite good.
However, this matter was a bit too complicated, and Zhou Jianguo never tried it again.
Maybe others like this kind of bargaining atmosphere, but for Zhou Jianguo, this is a waste of time. With this time, Zhou Jianguo might have missed something three or five times.
Although Zhou Jianguo has not picked up a major leak so far, he is not disappointed in his heart.
After all, I own the Cave Heaven Orb. As long as I have the Cave Heaven Orb in my hand, as long as there is a big leak, and as long as this big leak is not snatched by other antiques, then this big leak will definitely escape from my palm.
Zhou Jianguo never thought that he would be invincible in the antique industry after having the Cave Heaven Orb in his hand. He knew very well that having the Cave Heaven Orb in his hand could only make him invincible, but if he wanted to defeat those antiques, everyone
, basically impossible.
Zhou Jianguo's ability to pick up leaks relies on the power of the Cave Heaven Orb, not his own knowledge of antiques. Those antique masters rely on the knowledge of antiques they have mastered. In this regard, they beat Zhou Jianguo.
To put it bluntly, if Zhou Jianguo were to explain the relevant knowledge of these antiques, hehe, he would lose face.
Although no major leaks were encountered, several small leaks were encountered. Zhou Jianguo captured these small leaks without spending much money.
In this way, while constantly picking up leaks, nearly an hour passed without realizing it.
In this hour, Zhou Jianguo took down a total of twenty-six small leaks, and by the way, he also took down more than a dozen collection-level antiques. It was a lot of gains, but there was no real big leak so far, so
, Zhou Jianguo’s great cause of picking up leaks must continue.
At this time, Zhou Jianguo had almost finished sweeping two-thirds of the stalls, and now only one-third was left. He was full of expectations for the remaining stalls.
However, the start was not smooth either. Zhou Jianguo looked at more than a dozen stalls in a row, but none of them caught his eye.
However, when he continued to walk forward for seven or eight stalls, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the Cave Heaven Orb began to signal to him that there was a big leak here.
Zhou Jianguo quickly hid the smile at the corner of his mouth, looked in the direction of the big leakage, and thought to himself: "It's true that hard work pays off! It's been so long, and I finally waited for this opportunity to reap the rewards!"
This stall is also a parcel stall. There are not many things on it, only twenty or thirty antiques.
However, what surprised Zhou Jianguo was that these antiques were all real and none of them were fake. However, they were all of different ages and were all antiques that were one or two hundred years old.
There was one fine item among them, and Zhou Jianguo fell in love with two of them, including pastel porcelain.
Pastel porcelain is a very famous type of porcelain in the Qing Dynasty. It can be regarded as a representative work of porcelain of that period. It is very popular among collectors and its current price on the market is not low.
As for the other antiques, one thing Zhou Jianguo didn't like, and the other was that they were not as stunning as the pastel ones, so Zhou Jianguo didn't even bother to ask the price.
Such antiques were not qualified to be collected by Zhou Jianguo, so what was the use of them if he asked.
However, compared to these two pastel vessels, Zhou Jianguo's real attention was actually on one of the characters.
This calligraphy is a very common picture of the Chinese character Baishou. The author who wrote this picture of the Chinese character Baishou is also quite famous. He is Zheng Banqiao’s picture of the Chinese character Baishou. Although Zheng Banqiao is famous for his paintings, his calligraphy is also famous.
Excellent product.
Although this is not a painting by Zheng Banqiao, such a picture with the Chinese character "hundred years of life" is actually quite rare. Not only will you not lose money if you buy it, but it will not be difficult to sell it for one million yuan after forty or fifty years.
Maybe the stall owner thought that Zheng Banqiao's real masterpieces were his paintings, and as for the calligraphy, they were not worth much. Therefore, this painting of Zheng Banqiao's "Hundred Years of Life" calligraphy was casually thrown aside by the stall owner, which was not much different from the previous ones.
ancient books put together.
I believe that if this calligraphy was not written by Zheng Banqiao, the stall owner might have thrown it away long ago.
The stall owner may look down on Zheng Banqiao's painting of "hundreds of years old", but in Zhou Jianguo's view, this painting of "hundreds of years old" is of great value.
Others only saw this picture of the Chinese character Baishou, but what Zhou Jianguo saw was completely different from others. With his mental power, Zhou Jianguo's eyes turned to the axis of the Chinese character.
It seems that this character axis is quite inconspicuous, but the middle position of this character axis is hollow, and there are some things hidden inside, and these things are the big leak this time.
Zhou Jianguo had also used his mental power to see what these things were. They were eight rubies and sapphires the size of a thumb.
If it were ordinary rubies and sapphires, Zhou Jianguo wouldn't be too surprised, but inside these two scrolls are eight thumb-sized rubies and sapphires. Even Zhou Jianguo was overjoyed after seeing these gems.
Ruby and sapphire, whether in ancient times, now, or decades later, are one of the top jewelry, and their value is top-notch.
Zhou Jianguo had previously thought about getting some rubies and sapphires, making them into rings or necklaces with his own hands, and giving them to Yuyu and Weiwei as tokens of love or something. Now that these rubies and sapphires have appeared just right, Zhou Jianguo does not need to go there for this.
I have a headache.
Whether it was the value of these red sapphires or the sake of the rain, Zhou Jianguo had made up his mind to win this painting with the Chinese character "Hundred Years of Life" no matter what.
If someone like Yuan Jie appears again this time, Zhou Jianguo will no longer be prepared to abide by the rules. He will simply take down the picture with the word "hundred years of life".
"Yu Yu and Wei Wei will definitely like it!" Zhou Jianguo thought with a smile on his face.
He quickly suppressed the smile on his face and began to negotiate the price with the stall owner.
"Boss, how do you sell these two pastel porcelains?" Zhou Jianguo planned to take the two pastel porcelains first. This was not only an early preparation, but also to eliminate the final trouble.
There is no way, the pastel porcelain is too dazzling. Anyone who walks by will notice these two pastel porcelains if they take a quick look. If someone happens to take a fancy to it and come here to see it, Zhou Jianguo doesn't know if he will
Found the problem with that word.
Zhou Jianguo has said before that he will never look down upon those antique collectors. Everyone has a strong hobby of collecting these antiques. Therefore, if he sees Zheng Banqiao's picture of the Chinese character Baishou, he will feel the same as Zhou Jianguo.
My collection thoughts are, what should I do when Zhou Jianguo arrives?
