Chapter 1071 Little leak, take it down

Milan is a city that combines modern atmosphere and classical art.

It has always been a famous and important city in Europe. It suffered severe damage during World War I and World War II. Especially in World War II, Milan suffered from carpet bombing and was severely damaged.

The current city of Milan was rebuilt after World War II.

But not all the places were destroyed, some places survived by luck, and Wusulan Street in the east of the city was one of them.

Since there are still many buildings that maintain the traditional European style in the [-]th and [-]th centuries, it has gradually become a place where ancient culture and art are concentrated and exchanged.

Such a place usually has a very easy-to-understand name in China, Antique Street.

Usulan Avenue is the most famous antique market in Milan, and the things here are beyond your imagination, from ancient pharaohs' utensils to some collections of art that have only appeared in the past ten years.

Of course, the authenticity of things depends on your own eyes to judge, and there are no less fakes abroad than domestic ones.

Milan is an important city of Catholicism, second only to the capital Rome. It is called a holy place by many Catholics, and there are many famous cathedrals.

After resting in the hotel for a day, after everyone adjusted the time difference, Bai Ming excitedly took Li Yang to the "holy place" in his mind, but the place Bai Ming went to was not those cathedrals, but Usulan avenue.

For those who love collecting and Taobao, this is their 'sacred place'.

"Li Yang, let me tell you, when I first came here, I was totally amazed by this place. This place is simply a small world expo center, where you can almost find treasures from all over the world!"

Before arriving at the place, Bai Ming talked about his experience in the car.

This is not the first time he has been to Milan. To be precise, this is the third time. One time was for tourism, and the other time was when he was invited by a rich man to help him in the previous big auction, so he saw it again. .

No matter which time, Wusulan Street left a deep impression on him.

The most famous feature here is the variety and completeness. There are not as many restrictions here as in the country. As long as your things are not weapons, drugs and other things that are prohibited from being traded, treasures from any period can be sold here.

Here, there are not only Chinese bronzes, but also early European artworks of ancient Greece and ancient Rome.

Here, you can also see the culture of the American Indian period, as well as classic masterpieces of various periods in Africa. In a word, there is only one thing you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't see.

There are so many treasures that are real and fake, and it is not easy to find real treasures among these hard-to-distinguish things.

But Taobao itself is fun. If you really pick up a leak here at a low price, no matter how big the leak is, you will be extremely happy.

The last time, Bai Ming took away a set of valuable Ming Dynasty tea set here. Although it is something from a folk kiln, the workmanship is very excellent. What is even more rare is the appearance of the whole set, which made Bai Ming happy for a long time .

"This is Wusulan Street?"

As soon as he got off the car, Li Yang was taken aback for a moment, pointed to a small alley ahead, and asked a puzzled question.

In Li Yang's impression, such a famous place must be a very wide road. The road is very long, and there are many shops on both sides, all of which are some antique shops, just like Liulichang Street in China, even bigger than Liulichang Much bigger.

But in the alley in front of me, only four or five people can walk side by side, not to mention Liulichang, even the street stall area of ​​Panjiayuan.

"That's it. When I first came here, I was just like you. You'll know when you get in!"

Bai Ming chuckled, Li Yang's reaction was already in his expectation, the first person who came here was almost always surprised.

Liu Gang went to park the car, Zhao Kui and Haidong followed Li Yang closely, Xiao Yan looked around very curiously and excitedly, and several of them followed Bai Ming into this small alley.

From the outside, the alley is really small.

Moreover, it is very dilapidated. The houses here are obviously old, and there are not many people walking around with small boxes. This makes Li Yang very puzzled. How could this place be a famous antique market in the whole of Europe?
After walking a few steps, the alley suddenly forked. Bai Ming led them to turn to the right very familiarly. After a few minutes, the scene in front of them changed quickly.

The front is no longer such a tiny alley, there is an extra place like a farmers' market.

This market is not big, but it is very slender. It is the kind of small house like a domestic farmers' market, filled with various handicrafts.

There are also quite a few people here, almost every store has customers watching. If you don't look carefully, Li Yang will really regard this place as a relatively popular vegetable market.

"Why is Wusulan Street like this?"

Seeing all this, Li Yang was still a little disappointed, so he couldn't help asking.

"Actually, Wusulan Street has not arrived yet. This is also a major feature of Wusulan Street. Because more ancient buildings are preserved, Wusulan Street has no official entrance for a long time. It is a street that is sealed inside. And the place you came in just now is just one of the small entrances, and this is just a marginal market on the main street, walking in from here is the real Usulan!"

Bai Ming explained with a smile that this market, which is famous all over Europe, naturally cannot be like this.

It's just that Bai Ming's tea set was obtained in this small marginal market last time. When he came this time, he subconsciously led everyone along this road.

Li Yang nodded, Bai Ming's explanation was reasonable, such a famous market, it is impossible for it to look like this.

Bai Ming led everyone to this small market. At this moment, his face was slightly excited.

Only he and Li Yang came out today. Teacher Cai and Mr. Mao were invited by Mr. Gao. Although they set off with them, they needed to meet Mr. Gao after they got here. After all, they paid a lot of money.

Li Yang, President Gao, also knew him and had a certain background, stronger than Chang Sheng.

Only such people can invite first-class experts like Mr. Mao and Mr. Cai.

"Although this market is small, it has a wide range of items, and many of them are Chinese antiques. At present, Chinese antiques are becoming more and more popular in the European market!"

Bai Ming said as he walked that he was just explaining to Li Yang that they were the main force visiting this market today.

"There are indeed a lot of things, but I didn't expect that our army of fakes has already gone abroad and developed abroad!"

Li Yang nodded slightly, and said with a smile, they had already entered this small market like a farmers' market, and many shops contained some Chinese porcelain and bronze wares.

It's a pity that these porcelain and bronze wares are so fake that they can't even be regarded as low imitations. Some of them are handicrafts made by ordinary factories.

"Ha ha!"

Bai Ming laughed out loud, and the others couldn't help but smile, what Li Yang said was very interesting.

But the things here are really not real, even Wang Jiajia and Liu Gang can tell that some of them are fake, which shows how fake the things here are.

"These fake things, they didn't sell them as real ones, they sold them as handicrafts, it's nothing!"

After laughing, Bai Ming said another sentence.

Fake goods at fake prices seem to have been subconsciously accepted by modern people, just like in China, many small markets sell shoes and clothing of various brands, but their prices are much cheaper than specialty stores.

When Li Yang was in school, he often bought these fake famous brands, so he could accept it.

"Master, Brother Li, this is not bad, it seems to be from the period of the Republic of China?"

Xiao Yan suddenly pointed to a white glaze bottle and called out. This bottle is not big, with white glaze all over and no decorations, but it is an old object that opened the door.

Li Yang also noticed this bottle, no matter what the value of the bottle is, it is a real old thing after all, and it is also the first real thing that Li Yang saw today.

Bai Ming walked over, exchanged a few words with the boss, and then picked up the bottle.

There are not so many rules here in China, but you still need to explain fragile things like porcelain, and be careful when picking them up.

"It's indeed from the period of the Republic of China, or something from the early days. Why, did you like it?"

Bai Ming smiled and said something to Xiao Yan, with some approval in his eyes.

It's nothing to recognize a piece of porcelain from the Republic of China period, many collectors can recognize it, but Xiao Yan has just learned it not long ago, and there are so many fakes here, he can tell at a glance that it is something from the Republic of China period Not bad.

Compared with other ordinary people, Xiao Yan's progress is definitely very fast, but compared with Li Yang, it is far behind.

But Bai Ming never thought of comparing Xiao Yan and Li Yang.

A monstrosity like Li Yang doesn't come out in a thousand years, and anyone who compares with him will have no confidence, not to mention Xiao Yan, even he, who is a master, can't compare to Li Yang now.

"If it's not expensive, I want to buy it!"

Xiao Yan scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

There was still a strong excitement on his face. Anyway, this was the first thing he picked out by himself, and it was approved by the master.

"I'll ask you!"

Bai Ming turned around and asked again in simple Italian mixed with English. Li Yang understood what he said this time.

The shop owners here speak good English, which also brings some convenience to their communication.

"Fifty euros, take it!"

Bai Ming waved his hand, and yelled at Xiao Yan with a smile.

The shop owner sells this white glaze bottle for [-] euros, which is really not expensive, which is about [-] RMB. If such a bottle is brought back to China, it will be worth [-] to [-] yuan.

Speaking of which, this can be regarded as a small leak.
