Li Xin is a very nimble person, but it took him about ten minutes to get down. He saw a large men's black short-sleeved T-shirt on his body, and a pair of black slacks with a white shiny men's belt underneath. It doesn't take much time to equip, just look at the flat chest to know what's going on.

"Remember little brother, you have to call me brother from now on, or I will beat you up!" Li Xin raised his eyebrows and raised his fist to threaten, Chen Shihao naturally nodded hurriedly: "Understood, brother Xin."

Upon hearing Chen Shihao's address, Li Xin patted Chen Shihao's head with a smile on his face: "Hey, good boy, let's go, brother will take you to the street stalls." Then he dragged Chen Shihao out the door.

The two of them took a taxi to a huge gatehouse on Nayimin Street and got off the car. They looked at the sign at the gate. It was a pedestrian street and cars were not allowed to enter.Li Xindi introduced like a snake: "This is Shengtianmen. It is an old street that has been in Longguo for hundreds of years. Because there are antique shops on both sides of this old street, it is also called Antique Street. It can be said that the southeast region This is where the most concentrated antiques are.”

"Oh." Chen Shihao who didn't know anything could only nod.

"It's past five o'clock now, let's make a quick decision and find the most popular street stall to purchase." Li Xin took Chen Shihao's hand and squeezed into the crowd. Chen Shihao, who was being held by hand, smiled helplessly. Although my sister always thinks that she is a man, she still shows a woman's habits at this moment, because where are two men going shopping hand in hand?Look at the surrounding crowd without any weird eyes, you can know the gender of the new sister is a human being.

However, Li Xin obviously didn't have the habit of shopping. According to what she said, she went straight to the one with the largest stall, but she squeezed through the dense crowd for a while before stopping. Naturally, Chen Shihao, who had lost all his blood, was a little out of breath.

"Little brother, this is the biggest street stall on this street. You can see for yourself what you like." Li Xin squatted down regardless of the introduction and began to pick out the antiques on the street stall.

It was only then that Chen Shihao discovered that the stall was two meters wide and six meters long. A smiling middle-aged man looked at the passing tourists, while his two nimble buddies were introducing antiques to interested guests in a lavish manner.Looking up and down, this stall is really the biggest, because the other stall owners are all alone, and the stalls are only one meter long and wide. Can he be so big?

While thinking wildly in his mind, Chen Shihao also imitated Li Xin and squatted down to check.When the middle-aged stall owner saw that the two had a desire to purchase, he said happily, "Two guests, my old Wang has the most complete variety on this street, and it is often missed by others. This street is famous, so just look at it."

"Frequently being picked up by others? Just blow it up. If someone picks up a leak once, you will definitely go back and check it carefully. How can someone pick it up a second time!" Li Xin said bluntly: "You don't have to say that nonsense. , I’m here to buy fakes and use them as decorations, so you don’t need to show off any real antiques!”

The Old Wang stall owner was stunned for a moment, apparently he didn't expect that there would be such a blunt customer who came to buy fake goods, but naturally he couldn't talk to him, otherwise wouldn't he say that the antiques on his stall were fake?Then there is no need to do this business!It’s just that fake antiques are also a business. The old stall owner Wang who had prepared earlier immediately took out a picture album and handed it over with a smile: “This is the auction item at the Heyuan International Auction last time. We specially made a batch of fakes. Say what you like."

"Wow! Your information is really timely. The auction has only been over for less than a month, and the fakes have already been laid out? Where are they from? Beijiang or Nanhua?" Li Xin took the album while Turned aside and said.

Old Wang's stall owner's eyes flashed, and he clasped his hands together: "This... is an expert, this batch of goods are all from Beijiang."

"Brother's ancestors depend on this to make a living." Li Xinyang raised his eyebrows and said, flipped through the album and nodded, "The ones from Beijiang, although crudely made, are cheap, and they are just right for you." Speaking of this, he handed the album to Chen Shihao: "Little brother, pick and choose. All of them are imitations of those tens of millions of auction items. Putting them in the room can completely bluff those who don't know how to do it."

"That's right, little brother, those antiques that cost billions of dollars to bring home, you only need to pay [-] yuan to pack them all up and take them home! It's super cheap!" Old Wang stall owner hurriedly took advantage of the heat. strike iron.

"Ten thousand?!" Chen Shihao clicked his tongue, and said awkwardly: "I don't need so much, can I just buy one or two?"

Old Wang squinted his eyes: "Of course it's okay. A business worth a dollar is also a business. Little brother, feel free to choose." Although his tone was quite enthusiastic, it could be seen that his attention had already turned to other customers.

"Little brother, the furniture environment in your room is not suitable for placing porcelain and the like. It is best to choose some metal utensils, which have a very precipitated and simple taste. Believe me, I was admitted to the Nanjing University Design Institute back then. It’s just that I didn’t read it.” Li Xin pointed his head and suggested.

"Oh." Chen Shihao, who knew nothing about this, naturally followed Li Xin's suggestion and began to choose the metal objects in the album.Although it was said that it was something to decorate his own room, Chen Shihao also picked three pieces at random, one was a metal incense burner, the other was a bronze sword, and the other was a metal wine cup.

When Li Xin saw what Chen Shihao chose, he couldn't help laughing: "I think you should choose a copper plate that looks better. Bronze swords and incense burners are not suitable for sleeping places. The wine glasses are okay, but they are Western styles. It's not an oriental style, it doesn't look so quaint."

Chen Shihao naturally obeyed his orders and exchanged a copper plate, and pointed the two pictures to the old stall owner Wang, who smiled and said: "Look at you, little brother, you are pleasing to the eye, and I'll give you a super discounted price, one hundred for each. "

Chen Shihao was dumbfounded, one hundred for one piece?Didn't you say a few dollars a piece?Why buy it so expensive?If you don't have decorations, you won't die, but if you don't have money, you will starve to death!Thinking about it made me want to quit.

But Li Xin stared: "Damn! One hundred for one piece? Please, just make a mold, get some scrap copper and rotten iron, melt it and pour it out, and the cost is less than five yuan! You want a hundred? Why not grab it!"

"I'm begging you! I don't know if prices have risen this year, is everything expensive? And you said it's the cost price, so you don't need to increase the price when they leave the factory? You don't need to increase the price when you go to the distributor? Come to me I really don't have a lot of money to earn!" Old Wang said with a worried face.

"You don't have to complain, brother is also an expert! Oh, forget it, you can't lose everything, the cost price has doubled! One piece is ten yuan! Get the goods if you can, or pull them down if you can't!" Li Xinyi waved his hand very boldly Said.

Lao Wang gritted his teeth and said, "Twenty! The minimum is 20 yuan a piece! It can't be lower! Our whole family has to eat!"

"Kill you!" Li Xin waved his hand neatly, then shook his head at Chen Shihao who was already stunned: "Give me the money."

The 100 yuan was first cut to five yuan. Although the final transaction was 20 yuan, Chen Shihao really admired Li Xin for daring to speak. Who would dare to charge such a low price for these imitation antiques.And because Chen Shihao only chose two items in the end, the total price was only 40 yuan, which was still below Chen Shihao's bottom line, so he happily paid the bill.

Lao Wang, the owner of the stall who quickly collected the money, shook his head and muttered that the business was difficult, while turning around, he dug out two things wrapped in newspapers from a large box behind him and handed them over.

Chen Shihao and the two took it apart separately, and Li Xin was holding the copper plate, playing with it up and down, left and right, and nodded: "Now Beijiang's craftsmanship has improved a lot, and the corners and corners have been polished. It was not so meticulous before. of."

"Well, the market is economical and the competition is fierce. If you don't do a good job, you really can't compete with others." Seeing that the other party is really an expert, Lao Wang also sighed with emotion.

"How about the wine glass, little brother?" Li Xin turned his head and asked.

For some reason, Chen Shihao, who was a little nervous while holding the bronze round mouth metal goblet, reacted a bit slower before nodding: "Very good."

Li Xin took the wine glass to play with, and gave it to Chen Shihao without hesitation, and asked Lao Wang for a bag, wrapped the two metal utensils with newspapers, threw them into the bag casually, and dragged Chen Shihao away.

For this extremely ordinary transaction, Old Wang completely forgot about it after a while, and at most he remembered that he sold two imitation antiques at a price of 20 yuan each.

Li Xin dragged Chen Shihao out and squeezed out, but suddenly found a commotion in front of him, the crowd was divided into two halves like a tide, and then he saw two proud young men swearing and pushing away tourists one by one, Behind them, a burly man wearing sunglasses and casual short clothes walked in carelessly with four or five young men who looked like ruffians.

Before Chen Shihao could react, Li Xin pulled Chen Shihao to protect him behind him, and the two of them naturally stepped aside like other tourists.The originally bustling street fell silent just because of the appearance of this group of people. Everyone looked at this group of people a little timidly, but this group of people felt good about themselves, and swarmed around laughing and cursing. And pass.

Seeing them pass by, the tourists returned to normal. Although some people were pointing at the backs of the dozen or so crab-like youths, they didn't discuss too much.Chen Shihao couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Brother Xin, are they a gangster?"

Li Xin smiled: "How can the underworld be so rampant? They are all gangsters, but the most troublesome thing is these gangsters. They are completely looking for trouble. If you see them in the future, you will hide away. It's not because you are afraid of them, but Save yourself the trouble."

For Li Xin's teaching, Chen Shihao naturally obediently nodded his approval.
