My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 259 Opening the Blind Box
Fang Xing and the others went to more than a dozen stores in a row, but they didn't find anyone they could sell.It can be seen that it is not easy to pick up leaks abroad!

Among them, Fang Xing even pointed out that many fakes were sold by those antique shops as Treasures.

Foreign merchants have never been relentless in defrauding customers.Those who advocated that foreign businessmen do not deceive people disappeared at this time and dared not speak.

Continue to walk into a store, and there is a blind box opening here?

That's right!Those "antiques" were packed into cardboard boxes and sealed.Each carton has ten items.And each box costs [-] euros.

The discounted price is two hundred euros per piece.

At first glance, it is not expensive.

However, how much truth there is in it is unknown.Maybe, for two thousand euros, I bought a bunch of rubbish.Open the blind box!That's it.

These gringos are quick learners.

The reason why it is called a blind box is because there is no label on the box, and only when you open it will you know what you have drawn.Uncertain stimuli reinforce repetitive decision-making, so blind boxes become addictive for a while.From this point of view, this is quite similar to buying a lottery ticket, which has elements of gambling luck.

Now, is it all about antiques?It's really trendy!

"I don't play with things you can't see. If you want to play, hurry up." Fang Xing said to Liu Shijun and the others.

Liu Shijun was really interested. He ordered ten blind boxes in a row, and the [-] euros were gone.He opened the blind box, which is really expensive.The audience in the live broadcast room called out that this is a blind box that only rich people can play.

Then came the most anticipated blind box opening time.

He expected to slowly open the first carton, which contained a broken alarm clock, two graffiti paintings, three pieces of porcelain, two glassware, a stone, and a piece of broken copper.

"I'll wipe it! Put the stones in to make up the count too? Isn't that too much?"

"Laughing, more than 1 RMB, that's all?"

"Opening the blind box is a real pitfall. Anyone who has played it once knows it."

"Anyway, merchants will never lose money."

……

Liu Shijun was also a little speechless, pointing to the stone: "What is this thing?"

However, the store manager told him that it was a strange stone.

What the hell!You have no way to refute this answer.

After all, strange stones are also a kind of collectibles, not only popular in China, but also played by people abroad.

"Don't think that we Chinese are the only ones who play with stones. The earliest Chinese ornamental stones introduced to Europe were looted by colonists from Yuanmingyuan and other places, as evidenced by several collections in the British Museum.

In the 60s, the bonsai boom began to prevail in Europe. Japanese water stones and water stone culture entered together. Later, people also played with local stones. The most famous Italian Ligurian stone is known as the European Lingbi stone. "Fang Xing said to everyone.

In 1989, the earliest Stone Appreciation Association in Europe was born here.

Subsequently, the Florence Waterstone Association, the German Waterstone Association, the British Waterstone Association, the French Waterstone Lovers Association, and the European Waterstone Association were established one after another.

It's just that this damn thing in front of me is also considered a strange stone?I really can't see what's interesting about this thing.Or is it the aesthetics of foreign countries?
"An ordinary stone is a strange stone?"

Hearing Liu Shijun's complaints, the audience in the live broadcast room burst out laughing.Local tyrants!Seeing them lose money makes everyone feel refreshed.

"Little sister, you're lucky, try driving one for me." Liu Shijun said to Xu Qing.As for other things, I didn't bother to look closely, they looked like handicrafts.

In fact, Xu Qing herself also had itchy hands, so she was overjoyed when she heard this.

She also opened a blind box, which contained two heads of statues, a piece of jade, and a few books...

That piece of jade was immediately taken into Liu Shijun's hands, and he was a little bit fond of it, and he seemed to like it very much.At least, this blind box opened well.

"This is an ancient jade." Liu Shijun explained.

Fang Xing took a look and nodded, "That's right, it's an ancient jade, it should be a tiger-shaped jade pendant from the Warring States period."

The body is flat, the mouth is open, the body is bowed, and the tail is rolled up, making a lying posture.The tiger's eyes, pupils, nose, kiss, etc. are carved with single Yin lines, and the tiger spots are symbolized by rope patterns and cirrus patterns.There is a circle on the tiger's back and tiger's tail.

The jade tiger-shaped pendant has complicated lines, especially the use of curves, which fully demonstrates the aesthetic tendency of the Warring States jade carving.

"This one is worth about 50 million RMB, and I earned it back. My little sister, I'll treat you to a big meal later." Liu Shijun laughed.

In fact, foreign countries do not value ancient jade very much.

In some European auction houses, Chinese ancient jades are often auctioned regardless of the piece or the set, but the "pile". They are auctioned in piles, with five or six or seven or eight pieces in each pile, and sometimes as many as a dozen pieces are bundled together. , and the names, types and ages of these ancient jades are different.

It is said that after the British and French allied forces successfully robbed the Old Summer Palace, the soldiers invented this efficient method in order to sell the looted Chinese antiques on the spot in a hurry.

"Brother, you can open one too." Liu Shijun told Fang Xing.

Fine!Fang Xing also opened one at random, and there was a pile of sketches lying in it, which was quite fresh, and history may not be counted in years, but in months.

Seeing this, Fang Xing couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Gee!

Although the blind box suffered a crushing defeat, Liu Shijun was actually very happy, feeling that he was not the only one who was unlucky, and there was a buddy worse than him.

The audience in the live broadcast room burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at? It's not my money that I lost." Fang Xing said.

Liu Shijun patted Fang Xing on the shoulder: "It's hard to say luck sometimes, it's okay! I won't be so unlucky all the time, otherwise, I'll give you another chance, just pick one!"

"I want to drive, but I won't buy it myself?"

After finishing speaking, Fang Xing seemed to be angry and bought a few blind boxes.However, he didn't open it on the spot, but kept it until he returned to the hotel.

In fact, Fang Xing had his own plan.The system rewards Da Vinci and other works, there must be a source!The blind box undoubtedly gave a chance to cover up.

"Go back and take a bath and burn incense before opening."

These words completely made everyone laugh wildly.

Seeing these two big men, one more unlucky than the other, everyone felt happy from the bottom of their hearts.Sure enough, happiness is based on the pain of others.

"Haha! Too bad, the boss is not convinced."

"Betting on this thing is not afraid of your unconvinced, the more unconvinced, the worse the result."

"Yes! The less you believe in evil, the worse it will be in the end."

"We have a few thousand dollars a month, so don't worry about people who earn millions or tens of millions casually! The boss has the confidence to lose money casually without blinking an eye. If I have a boss, then With a rich family background, I play bigger than the boss."
