Chapter 208 "Ghost Market" Part [-]

My name is Luqiao, and I am the owner of the ghost market.

No, no, there can be many, many bosses.

Because the ghost market is not a company, but a market.

There are many theories about the ghost market, which is generally a type of market in old Beijing.

When talking about a market, a bazaar is actually more appropriate.

There are as many as eight ghost markets in old Beijing in the four cities, and the one under the old imperial city in Xicheng is the largest.

The ghost market under the old imperial city is also where I work.

The ghost market initially focused on selling Guaiyi, which are used clothes sold in the market.

But sometimes it also refers to new clothes with inferior raw materials and rough processing.

The ghost market only had these at first, but then gradually all kinds of second-hand goods appeared in the ghost market.

These second-hand goods may be genuine or fake, and most of them are fake.

There are both shady items and rare items.

But most of them are fakes that deceive people, so people turn the ghost market into a fake market.

Old Beijingers say that you should go to the ghost market, but you cannot go to the ghost market.We can’t talk about going to the ghost market, let alone visiting the ghost market.

You have to say "pa", the word "pa" is learned.

The water is deep and shallow, and the water is fast and slow. You have to wade through it.Because wading across the river means crossing the river by feeling for the stones.

The ghost market outside Chaoyang Gate is spread out along the Chaoyang Gate city wall from north to south. When it is prosperous, it can be as long as two miles.

After you have used goods, you can sell everything in the ghost market.

Never categorize, a boss can sell a dozen or even dozens of different items.

Moreover, the ghost market not only offers buying and selling, but also allows people to exchange items for items.

The ghost market has everything. I heard that people can still buy guns in the ghost market.

And even if [-]% of the items in the ghost market are fakes, there is always [-]% that are valuable.

There have been some stories circulating in recent years. There is a man carrying a complete set of Jingdezhen porcelain. There are 64 pieces on each side of the load, and a total of 120 pieces on both sides.Taking a closer look under the moonlight, the style, seal, tire and glaze are all authentic.Everything is real, but there are signs of being used. Although it has been used, it is in perfect condition.There are no chips and no glaze loss, which means that the original owner used it very carefully, maybe a rich man, and spent more time placing it than using it.Hanzi sells them very cheaply, and they even sell them half for free.Everyone who bought it that day made a profit.Take it back and take a closer look. Everything is a good product.It is said that the man was a decoration worker in a rich man's house, and the porcelain was stolen and sold for urgent use.

There are many such stories.

And I heard that in the ghost market in the early years, you could buy official uniforms, military seals, imperial lists, and even jade seals.

Twelve bronze capitals have appeared in the ghost market.

And everything is sold, not just dead things, but living things are also common.

The ghost market sounds novel, so it is very popular among young people.

And the boss of the ghost market.You can be anyone you want.

As long as you have something to sell, you can lay out a mat in a more formal way and start selling.

You can even put the purchased items on the floor while shopping and start selling them.

There are many bosses in the ghost market, but very few people can actually make money.

And I am one of the few people who is making money, and I am one of the people who is making money in a real ghost market.

The ghost market is as the name suggests, but everyone's interpretation is different.

There are all kinds of ghost markets nowadays, and there are even many fake ghost markets.

They come out at night and use the reputation of the ghost market to sell things.

But the real ghost market is only open at [-] a.m. every Thursday, and it only lasts for an hour.

Yes, I work in a real ghost market.

Only work one hour a week.

But for this one hour, I have to prepare for a whole week.

The ghost market has its own set of rules and never shouts.No greeting, no business grabbing.It’s all up to the person who comes to see and choose.

It is this estimate that I use to make my own money.

What I was selling was different from what a lot of people were selling, and I was making little scarecrows all week long.But the scarecrow is not new, it is deliberately made old with tea leaves.

Then wrap it with a piece of red cardboard made with the same old method. Use a brush dipped in ink to write on the cardboard: "The enemy's hair and name" and stuff it in.

That’s right, I sell revenge villains.

Of course they are fake, the villains I sell are all fake.

But I didn’t shout or say hello, and that’s what I used.

Spread bright red old cloth on the ground.

He took out three little figures from the backpack behind him and placed them on top, waiting for curious people to come around and take a look.

The next thing is my ability, if only one person gathers around.

I will observe his appearance. When I look at a person, I look at his feet first.

About seven points of information about a person can be seen based on the shoes they wear.

A person's living standard can be seen from the condition of his shoes, and the brand can tell whether he is truly rich.

Then I could tell from his conversation and behavior whether this person was real or fake in my judgment. Of course, this was not a sure thing.

If there are a group of people, my price will even be higher than if I sell it to one person, waiting for this group of people to compete with each other.

Yzzye is a sub-brand of Adidas, with prices ranging from [-] to tens of thousands.

I often see young people wearing trendy brands in front of me, but fake Yzzye shoes are available online from 99 yuan to 199 yuan.

Just like most of the ghost markets are fakes, the old generation's judgment of people and their feet can only be considered now.

I usually give a price based on whether I have money or not, ranging from one thousand to thirty.

I only bought one thousand of the most expensive ones, and I didn’t need any provenance.

And once the offer is made, there is never a counter-offer, and cash and Alipay are accepted.Even UnionPay, because there is a POS machine in the bag.

When all the three villains in front of me are sold, I will take out three more from the bag and put them down.

There is only one hour a week, and at most I have sold more than 20.

But there are times when nothing is harvested, but basically there is a lot of harvest.

The ghost market is very big, and I have been setting up a stall in the south.

My ability to remember people is not bad, and I can remember some people's faces a little.

I will remember the person I sold the doll to, and if I meet him, I will cover the three little people with red cloth.The red cloth has two sides, one is bright red and the other is gray.

Cover it and wait until the person you remember has passed before opening it to avoid getting into trouble.Of course, there are times when things go wrong, but the rules of the ghost market dictate that you give up.This is why I only sell villains in the ghost market, and I also rely on villains to make myself comfortable with food and clothing.

I am 28 years old and I have known about ghost markets since I was 17 years old.

Since then I have not been absent from four o'clock every Thursday morning.

In fact, whoever comes to the stall early will occupy the space first.

It's only half right, usually whoever comes early gets the plot of land.

But there are actually about twenty stalls ready in the southeast, northwest, and northwest.

Prepared for ghost kings, there are four ghost kings in the ghost market.

Dong Zhao, Nan Qian, Xi Sun, Bei Li.

They are no longer in the ghost market, maybe not even in Beijing.

Their staff will take care of everything for them.

I am a subordinate of Nan Qian, and Nan Qian is not just because of his surname Qian.It is a money business that started in the ghost market. It is impossible to say that there are no gangs in the ghost market.

But the role of this gang is very small, just not so obvious.

The function is only to occupy land, and I own a piece of land.

Of course, there is also the cost of occupying land. I think it is well worth the money.

This is why I can guarantee sales in the ghost market. I don't like to lie to people, but I know what to do and what not to do for the sake of life.
