Chapter 23: Pink Glow
The antique market is different from the regular antique market.
There are all kinds of goods sold in it, such as old household appliances, old furniture, old books, old office supplies, old equipment, cultural toys, antiques, and the habit of the old market is still maintained here.
Shen Qiang came here once before, when a classmate watched the news, someone spent more than 200,000 yuan to buy a pair of walnuts, so that buddy wanted to make money, so he came here to bet on green walnuts.
I think I will definitely be able to make a lot of money and make a fortune.
As a result, two hundred yuan a pair of green walnuts bought ten pairs, and after opening them, one was more ugly than the other, and no one asked for ten yuan, and later Shen Qiang helped him break it open and eat it.
Therefore, Shen Qiang's impression of this old goods market is quite profound.
People who don't know how to do it, here, it's really a waste of money and you can't hear it.
But for those with the eye, it's a paradise.
The antique market is full of merchants who are really engaged in antiques, and the so-called buyers are not sellers, if they can't determine the value of the items, they would rather rot in their hands than sell the items at will.
So it's harder to pick up the leak in their hands than to climb to the sky.
But the second-hand market is different.
In addition to some fixed merchants, there are people who walk the streets and alleys to collect old goods, and there are also people from surrounding towns and towns, and even people from all over the province who come here to sell their treasures.
As long as you have enough eyesight and start fast enough, it is not a whimsical to find good treasures here.
Therefore, whether it is a player who likes antique cultural toys or a merchant in the antique market, starting at four or five o'clock in the morning and ending before eleven o'clock at noon, basically as long as there is time, they will go here.
It's not even five o'clock in the morning, and the market is already full of people.
Shen Qiang, who bought a hand-held cake, ate it while eating, and watched the excitement at the same time.
Almost as soon as I arrived at the stall, I saw two people dressed as migrant workers, selling a bronze tripod, saying that they found it when they were working on the construction site, and there were two "experts" next to it, analyzing how good this tripod is and how high the collection value is.
The two migrant workers offered 30,000 yuan, and the two "experts" said that they wanted it, but they did not have enough cash on hand, so they asked the two migrant workers to go with him, and they bought it, and the migrant workers said that they were afraid of being robbed and refused to go.
At this time, a man with a big gold chain looked proud, with a young woman, very awesome squeezed through the crowd, directly auctioned 20,000 cash, after bargaining to no avail, two people dressed as migrant workers sold the "Warring States Period" bronze tripod to the heroic man.
The man was triumphant, feeling quite proud that he had picked up a big leak.
Shen Qiang almost died of laughter.
What is this place?
The antique market behind the antique market, countless sophisticated antique dealers wander here, it is really a bronze tripod of high value, and there is such a high-profile analysis of "experts", those professional antique dealers are so stupid that they don't know how to buy?
So don't think about it, the big bronze tripod must be a fake, and the two migrant workers and the two "experts" must also be in a group, and they are now laughing and dividing the money.
Keep walking.
In front of a small stall, there were about 20 people around, all dressed in ordinary clothes, and they didn't talk much, only occasionally whispering a few words to each other.
Shen Qiang leaned over and took a look.
The stall owner then sold an old crimson weighing rod.
A fat man, is taking the alcohol cotton ball on the scale rod to wipe, just wiped twice, the alcohol cotton ball is dyed red, seems to be a little uneasy, the fat man with a knife on the scale rod gently scraped a little sawdust, and then put it in a water cup.
As soon as the sawdust enters the water, it immediately brings up a red ribbon.
The fat man was happy, and he didn't let go of the scale rod: "Give money." Eight thousand is eight thousand. ”
Shen Qiang sighed helplessly.
The alcohol ball changes color, the sawdust changes color when it enters the water, and it can basically be determined that the old scale rod is made of small leaf red sandalwood, which is in good condition and has a large branch, even if the car beads are stringed bracelets, this old scale rod can be sold for at least tens of thousands of yuan.
It's a pity that Shen Qiang was a step late.
Moreover, even if Shen Qiang didn't take this step at night, Shen Qiang couldn't pick up such a leak now.
After all, he is still only an intern, and the living expenses given by his family this month are now only a few hundred yuan.
Therefore, the top priority is to find the right cheap and able to sell something, even if it makes a little less, it is better than watching others pick up the leaks.
Continue to wander around the stalls.
Shen Qiang, who walked all the way, didn't look at the goods on the stalls.
It's about looking at people.
After all, Shen Qiang doesn't know anything about cultural antiques, but there are many people who understand it in this market, so just look at it, where are there people around, and the people around are very low-key, generally speaking, they are all businessmen who want to receive goods, and more professional players.
So Shen Qiang walked all the way and took a look.
Antique clocks, calligraphy and paintings, coins, cultural ornaments, all the way down, Shen Qiang felt more and more that it was really difficult to move an inch without money.
Because those stalls that may be valuable and worthy of opening the art of microscopic viewing, any thing will cost thousands.
This made Shen Qiang, who only had a few hundred yuan in his pocket, more and more disappointed.
And at this time, with the strolling along the way, the sun has risen high, and the time has reached seven o'clock in the morning, if there is no harvest, Shen Qiang can only go back to work empty-handed.
At this moment, Shen Qiang, who had almost reached the end of the stall, suddenly saw about two dozen people in front of him, very quietly surrounding a stall, and everyone looked extraordinary.
Shen Qiang, who instantly realized that there must be something good in the stall, hurriedly approached him, but he didn't get close yet.
Shen Qiang immediately noticed that those around the stall looked at him with extremely unkind eyes.
Pretend not to see their hostility.
Shen Qiang saw it as soon as he looked out, and it was just a small stall with a white cloth spread on the ground, on which were six antiques, and a jade ring the size of a rice bowl, which was in the hands of a middle-aged man with a rich face.
At this time, he just said: "I bid 600,000 yuan for this jade ring, which is already very fair." ”
The stall owner's voice was very cold: "If you don't sell them separately, these few pieces are packed, 800,000 yuan, and you can't take a dime less." ”
As soon as he heard this, Shen Qiang, who had completely lost his patience, directly used the technique of microscopic observation.
"Anyway, I don't have enough money to buy anything, so today I should understand the market by myself and open my eyes. ”
Using the technique of microscopic observation, the six items on the stall and the jade ring in the hands of the middle-aged man flashed in Shen Qiang's mind like a movie.
The jade ring in the hands of the rich middle-aged man, the composition, the green mountain jade. Exists in 1856.
Snuff bottle, composition ceramic, exists for 3 years.
The comb, the composition of the horn, exists for 3 years.
Copper mirror, composition cast copper, exists for four months.
The seal, the composition of agate stone, exists for 6 years.
Bronze sword, component cast copper, existed for three months.
Such a discovery made Shen Qiang almost vomit blood, it turned out that the things on this stall, except for the jade ring in the hands of the rich middle-aged man, were all fakes, no wonder this stall owner would ask for packaging and sale.
And almost at this moment, the last item of the stall was enlarged in Shen Qiang's eyes. In the faint gray mist, a faint pink glow suddenly appeared.
Clay pot, clay composition, 118 years old, unknown memory items, pale pink glow, 2000 to 3000 years old.
Shen Qiang was stunned.
At this moment, the rich middle-aged man said: "On your stall, except for this jade ring, everything else is garbage that you don't want for nothing, I'll add another 50,000 yuan to you, as long as the jade ring." ”
The stall man smiled: "I don't care if the garbage is garbage or not, if you want Yuhuan, you can only buy all of this." Because this jade ring is an item that I will only sell after everything else has been sold. ”
The rich middle-aged man frowned.
At this time, Shen Qiang, who suddenly moved in his heart, hurriedly said, "That, boss, can I buy that clay pot?"
