Tricky
After understanding Gao Fei's plan, Yu Bo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Because Yu Bo had visited Panjiayuan frequently in recent years, so after he had a clear goal, he headed straight ahead to lead the way.
As he walked inside, he told Gao Fei about his tragic past.
“I knew my eyesight was not good, so I thought it would be expensive as long as it was the real thing, so I participated in several auctions.
But I didn’t expect that after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on an item, I checked it with a machine and found that it was still a high imitation.”
Having said this, Yu Bo couldn't help but shook his head helplessly.
He only found out after asking around afterwards.
Because the methods of counterfeiting antiques are becoming more and more sophisticated nowadays, many antiques are even made more realistic than a large door, making it difficult for people to distinguish the authenticity from the fake.
If instruments are not used for identification, even some master identification experts will be fooled.
According to common sense, those antique stores and pawn shops, after discovering these fake items, should seal them up to prevent these fakes from entering the market again.
But business rules are business rules, and those antique dealers are not willing to lose money in vain.
Therefore, these antique dealers who are not willing to lose everything with bamboo baskets often contact auction houses secretly to auction these fake antiques.
If the auction house's appraiser can't identify the authenticity, then of course it would be best.
It doesn't matter if the auction house sees it, because the price is negotiable.
So after obtaining the appraisal certificate from the auction house, these high imitations can be passed off as genuine and flow into the market.
Although you may not be able to deceive industry veterans, you can still deceive newbies.
Unfortunately, Yu Bo is that fool.
After listening to Yu Bo's "brilliant achievements", Gao Fei burst into laughter.
When Yu Bo saw this, he didn't care. Anyway, he thought about it.
From then on, he would visit Panjiayuan with the mentality of buying fakes.
He doesn't believe it anymore, and he will be tricked again!
…
So the two of them walked like this among the bustling crowd.
While listening to Yu Bo's experience, Gao Fei casually looked at the surrounding scenery.
I have to say that Panjiayuan is really lively.
Along the way, Gao Fei discovered that there were quite a few foreign devils here.
There were a few girls in cool clothes who couldn't help but feel excited when they saw Gao Fei.
If it weren't for the wrong timing, he would have brought glory to the country no matter what.
Just as Gao Fei looked at the backs of the two tall and hot foreign girls with regret, Yu Bo suddenly stopped.
"arrive!"
Looking at Gao Fei's confused eyes, Yu Bo immediately chuckled.
Gao Fei looked up and saw the three characters "Yafengzhai" written on the plaque above.
After the two of them entered, before Yu Bo could take off his sunglasses and hat, a middle-aged aunt with a round figure came to greet them.
Obviously the two are old acquaintances, otherwise they wouldn't have recognized Yu Bo at a glance.
After a few words of greeting, Yu Bo introduced Gao Fei with a smile:
"Sister Meng's reputation is absolutely impeccable. Most of the inside stories I know were told to me by her, otherwise I would still be in the dark."
Seeing what he said, Ms. Meng also noticed and immediately laughed and teased Yu Bo:
"If I weren't your fan, I wouldn't bother to tell you this.
After all, there are not many rich people like you who can allow small businesses like us to survive for three years!"
When Yu Bo heard this, he immediately cried and laughed:
"If you are from a small family, then I will be begging for food."
After Yu Bo's brief introduction, Gao Fei realized that "Ya Feng Zhai" was just one of Ms. Meng's businesses.
Although "Ya Feng Zhai" sells all kinds of porcelain and antiques, it does a wholesale business of "handicrafts" privately.
There are many items on the vendors' stalls in the greenhouse stall area, but they all come from her.
Even sometimes when some stall owners have trouble at home and are in a hurry to dish out their belongings, she is usually the one who takes over.
After all, she is in the wholesale business and is not afraid of buying goods.
So she may not be the richest person in Panjiayuan, but in terms of connections, she is definitely one of the best.
This is also the reason why Yubo took Gao Fei directly to find her.
…
By the way, Gao Fei thought to himself that he should be quite handsome.
But since he met Yu Bo, he discovered a strange phenomenon.
As long as the two of them are together, those older sisters and younger aunts who still have charm will almost immediately pay attention to the aftermath.
Only when he meets those young and lively little sisters will his attraction exceed the aftermath.
And that's the case right now.
Although Gao Fei is currently as famous as Yu Bo, Ms. Meng treats him like an ordinary person and has no fan mentality at all.
Seeing this situation, Gao Fei could only admire Yu Bo again.
But just because of the aftermath, Sister Meng and Gao Fei didn't have anything to do with each other.
Seeing that Gao Fei was a little curious about the porcelain in the display cabinet, she immediately explained with a slightly raised corner of her mouth:
"This set of pastel tableware is from the late Qing Dynasty. Although it is a little recent, it is quite rare to have all the bowls, chopsticks and cups.
If you like it, I’ll give you a purchase price and take it away!”
After that, she opened her mouth and said a number.
When Gao Fei heard this, he immediately shook his head and said with a helpless smile:
"Forget it, I can't afford such expensive tableware."
Seeing him say this, Yu Bo couldn't help but laugh and said:
"No one comes to Panjiayuan to buy tableware. As you can imagine, you should go to the supermarket!"
Gao Fei heard this and said confidently:
“There are no high imitations of Song porcelain in supermarkets!”
Seeing that he spoke so truthfully, Sister Meng was also happy.
She has seen many customers, but she has never met someone like Gao Fei who buys antique tableware for household use.
Of course, she specializes in this wholesale business and doesn't shy away from saying this.
If it were another store, I'm afraid Gao Fei would be kicked out by the boss as soon as he opened his mouth.
So for Yu Bo's sake, she immediately pointed to the two foam boxes at the door and said:
"It's a coincidence that you came here. These two boxes of Song porcelain came from me, and the stall owner is still a regular customer of mine.
It's just that he had a family emergency recently, so I took these items."
After saying that, Sister Meng smiled and said:
"There are so many things, I don't even know how to count them. If you want them, just take them!"
After all, with the amount Gao Fei purchased, it was really not worth it for her to get the goods from the factory.
Chapter completed!
