Chapter 016: Taobao in progress
Antique Street.
The Empire's largest antiques market, where you can find almost all types of antique items.
Nan Ke Rui remembers very well that the first time he came here was when he was five years old, his father Nan Ke Qingyu not only has a strong understanding and root in martial arts, but also has reached the master level in this regard.
Nan Kerui has been influenced by it since he was a child, and he also has a certain talent for antiques, and he will always come here to walk around when he has nothing to do over the years, not only to cultivate his sentiments, but also to pick up leaks and get cheap, but also to mourn his deceased father.
Nan Kerui took Han Han's little hand and wandered in the bustling crowd, he didn't deliberately go to a stall or a certain shop to stay and play, he liked this feeling, this feeling of doing what he wanted.
"Hanhan, if you have something you like, tell your brother. ”
Nan Kerui caught a glimpse of Han Han looking back and forth at the stalls on both sides of the street with a pair of big eyes, as if she was very interested in something.
"Brother......
Han Han beckoned to Nan Kerui, Nan Kerui couldn't help but squat down curiously, and Han Han whispered in his ear. "Brother, Han Han thinks the gray jar and the little shovel on the old man's stall are so strange......"
"Huh?"
Nan Kerui followed Han Han's hint and happened to see a gray jar in the corner of an inconspicuous stall on the right-hand side, and the small shovel was used as a corner of the cloth pressing.
Through a series of things, Nan Kerui now completely trusts Han Han's intuition, since she feels that those two things are missing and can be picked up, it is absolutely impossible to be wrong.
Nan Kerui picked up Hanhan, seemingly inadvertently walked to the stall, and observed the gray jar and the small shovel up close, judging from the appearance, Nan Kerui felt that although the gray jar looked like an ancient thing, the workmanship was rough, and the style looked closer to the flower pot, which was extremely ugly, in a word, ugly and earthy.
Look at the small shovel again, the surface is rusty, the shovel handle is crooked, at a glance, you can know that it is a defective product, although the goods are some age, but there is no use value at all, even the collection value is not large, they really do not like it, if it is not for Hanhan to remind first, Nan Kerui may not even have the urge to look at them.
"This son, at first glance, you are the master of the goods, and the old man will not go around the bend with you, all the items will be one hundred gold coins, if there is a good look, the old man will wrap it up for you. When the stall owner saw that there was business coming to him, he immediately came to his senses and introduced him to Nan Kerui.
Nan Kerui raised his head and glanced at the old man lightly, did not speak, picked up a thing that could still be seen a little, and looked at it himself.
Nan Kerui knows that since he can be looked at by Han Han, these two things are definitely more than this price, but Nan Kerui always feels that there is still room for maneuver, and it is not small.
"The ......"
When the old man saw that Nan Kerui was not the kind of wronged leader he imagined, he couldn't help but mutter. "Okay, old man, I'll give you the bottom, these things are just unearthed, old, with high research value, if the son really wants to buy, eighty gold coins a piece, this is the lowest price, can not be lowered. ”
"Twenty Gold Coins......
Nan Kerui put down the clay pot in his hand, slowly stood up and pulled Han Han's, and lightly stretched out two fingers towards the old man, seeing that his actions were clear to anyone, he was ready to leave at any time.
Forehead......
The old man frowned slightly, thinking that he would be able to make a lot of money today, but he didn't expect that the young man in front of him seemed to be new and tender, but he was so sophisticated in doing things, he couldn't help but put away his thoughts just now.
These things on the stall, are the last time he went home to visit relatives from some ignorant villagers in exchange for a total of only one gold coin, after returning to Beijing he has been here to set up a stall, this has been ten days, but unfortunately not a single piece of it has been sold, not only did not earn a penny, but the tax was paid five gold coins, if it goes on like this, his old capital will also be lost.
The old man gritted his teeth, as if after a painful battle, he finally nodded with difficulty. "Twenty gold coins are twenty gold coins! You can pick one at random, the old man will not make you money this time, it can be regarded as making friends with you, and you will often come to take care of the little old man's business in the future." ”
"Boss, you misunderstood, I said that I will take three of the twenty gold coins. Nan Kerui interrupted the old man's chatter, and stretched out three more fingers, looking embarrassed.
"What?!" The old man jumped up suddenly, originally thought that he could make more money, but now it seems that the young man in front of him is really not a good type, and his eyes are very vicious.
"You ......"
The old man pointed at Nan Kerui and didn't say a word, if he wanted to say that Nan Kerui was shameless, he was even more shameless than Nan Kerui, after all, all the goods in front of him were obtained by him with a gold coin.
"How?" Nan Kerui asked with an angry look of anger.
"Hey...... I admit it, old man. Three pieces of 20 gold coins were sold. The old man pulled his head and sighed, it won't work if he doesn't sell it now, and if he continues like this, he will lose all his money.
Since there is a business coming to the door, how much can you make, at least you have to get back the capital.
"Happy. Nan Kerui showed a hint of a smile, squatted down and picked up the clay pot he had been figuring out just now, and seemed to inadvertently catch a glimpse of Hanhan on the side.
"Hanhan, if you like it, will you pick one too?"
The corners of the old man's eyes shrank for a while, the corners of his mouth twitched, people were more popular than people, obviously the young man in front of him didn't put the twenty gold coins in his eyes, but he was still bargaining with himself like this.
"I want that gray jar, the dog's food is getting bigger and bigger, it's time to change it to a bigger one. Han Han pointed to the gray jar that had been favored before.
As soon as Han Han's words came out, the old man was suddenly speechless, and Nan Kerui couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Han Han to understand the truth of his guilt.
Seeing Nan Kerui's expression, Han Han stuck out his tongue at him mischievously.
The old man painfully handed the gray jar to Nan Kerui, Nan Kerui picked two more at random, Nan Kerui saw that it was getting late, he didn't want to waste time here, and he didn't bother to continue to play with him, so he picked up the small shovel and the clay pot that pressed the cloth.
Nan Kerui handed the twenty gold coins to the old man, left with the three antiques he had selected, and when he reached the corner, Nan Kerui casually threw the clay pot into a pile of garbage.
For Nan Kerui, the clay pot was a piece of garbage, with no value at all, and the reason why he bought it together was to hide it.
Han Han took the small shovel and studied it repeatedly, and Nan Kerui also looked at the gray jar, but neither of them found anything different.
didn't continue to worry about this issue, Nan Kerui led Han Han straight to the 'Baibao Store', pushed the door in, and saw a thin boy with mouse eyes and sharp beak monkey cheeks sitting in the corner of the counter carving something, looking at his appearance should be fourteen or fifteen years old.
", what are you scumbag imitating?" Nan Kerui dragged a chair and sat down across from him with a big grin.
"Hey, Young Master Nan Ke is here, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome......" Lao Luo raised his head, put down the work at hand, and deliberately pretended to be flattered, but he said so, in fact, he sat there and didn't move at all.
"Huh, who is she?" Lao Luo happened to catch a glimpse of Han Han who was touching this and looking at that, and couldn't help but curiously come to Nan Ke Rui, looking at Han Han with a strange expression.
"Grandma's newly recognized granddaughter, my sister Hanhan. Nan Kerui knocked Lao Roll hard and whispered in his ear.
"Wouldn't it?!!When did I hear about it?"
Lao Roll had a shocked expression, of course he knew how honored it was to be recognized as a granddaughter by Old Taijun Shen, if there was such a thing, the entire imperial capital would have exploded long ago, how could it be as calm as it is now.
"Grandma, she doesn't want to make a big deal about it, and only a few people know about it. Nan Kerui casually picked up an old rolling imitation and responded lightly.
"I see. Lao Roll touched his pointed chin, his small eyes were shining, and he nodded after a while, and didn't ask any more questions.
Nan Kerui didn't explain anything more, he knew him quite well, and knew that he had guessed some inside information, so he couldn't help but bang on the counter and change the topic seemingly inadvertently.
"Don't talk so much nonsense, is there anything new?"
Nan Ke Rui played a small and 'hob meat' Li Cai acquaintance, a lot of antique common sense, Nan Ke Rui learned from Li Cai, Li Cai is talented, especially good at high imitation, all fakes in his hands, even if it is a well-informed connoisseur, it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity.
The most famous is a sculpture that Li Cai bored to imitate a year ago, and at that time even the makers of the real thing could not be recognized, and it was rumored to be a good story for a while.
Five years ago, Li Cai's father died of a sudden illness, and the 'Baibao Store' was almost taken away by the guys in the store at that time.
Afterwards, Nan Kerui wanted to arrange some guards to secretly protect Li Cai through Shen Lao Taijun, but Shen Lao Taijun came up with a better idea, with Li Cai's consent in advance, Nan Kerui successfully became the second owner of the 'Baibao Shop', but this is only a nominal act of rights and interests, in fact, Li Cai is the only owner of the 'Baibao Shop'.
With the secret support of the Nanke family, coupled with Li Cai's natural business materials, as well as his unique skills, there is an endless stream of repeat customers and distinguished customers, and the 'Baibao Shop', which was originally only enough to maintain daily expenses, is now a daily profit.
Because Li Cai's asking price was ruthless enough, he was named 'hob meat' over time.
However, everyone knows the relationship between Li Cai and Nan Ke Rui, the young master of the Nan Ke family, and Nan Ke Rui is also the second owner of the 'Baibao Shop', although some people are greedy for the huge profits on weekdays, but they don't dare to attack the 'Baibao Shop', in case they get into trouble with the Nan Ke family.
"No,......," Li Cai shook his head.
"Wouldn't it? How can you say that you are also a celebrity now, the reputation of the 'Baibao Store' is not bad, it's been almost a month, how can you not receive new gadgets?" Nan Kerui didn't believe it at all.
"Yes, yes, but I can't even look down on those things, so how can they get into your eyes. Li Cai's work in his hands did not stop, and he continued to be busy forging fakes.
Nan Kerui was not disappointed, he came here to open his eyes and gain a long insight, and by the way, he came to see his old friend Li Cai, whom he hadn't seen for almost a month.
"By the way, there's one thing that might interest you. Li Cai suddenly stopped what he was doing, stood up and rushed into the room, and after a while, he jumped out again, and casually threw an old old book with sallow skin to Nan Kerui.
