Jianbao life

Chapter 321 Treasure Building "Ghost City"

"If I fall into such a trick next time, then I deserve it." The middle-aged man said with a smile: "By the way, Lao Yi, the jadeite pendant just now is quite good, can you take it back for me to study?"

"Sure, as long as you have this." Yi Hongguo smiled and twirled his fingers.

"It's money, I mean, tell me the amount, and I'll transfer it to you right away." The middle-aged man said cheerfully.

"What are you going to do, it's not like I can't swipe my card."

"Hey, I forgot about this." The middle-aged man slapped his forehead and said, "But I'm not busy in advance, how about you help me look at my Tianhuang printed embryo?" Get a small box.

Yi Hongguo said dumbfoundedly: "I said, Lao Song, why did you go to buy Tianhuang again? You have already bought three pieces of fake Tianhuang, and they are all fake at first glance. I said you should not buy it." no?"

"The last time, it must be the last time. If it's still a fake this time, then I won't mess around anymore." The middle-aged man said with a smile.

Yi Hongguo shook his head and said: "I've convinced you, you'd better ask my junior brother to show you, he is much more proficient in this aspect than me."

Hearing this, Chu Chen chuckled and said, "Senior Brother, you are truly over-rewarded."

"Don't be modest, by the way, let me introduce you first."

Next, Yi Hongguo introduced the two parties. It turned out that this middle-aged man was the boss of a well-known real estate company in Shanghai. His name was Song Yide. Chu Chen guessed that the person who gave him this name was probably a Three Kingdoms fans.

After everyone exchanged pleasantries, Chu Chen took out the printed embryos in the box and began to look at them.

When Yi Hongguo saw the seal, he let out a sigh, and said, "Lao Song, your Tianhuang seal embryo looks quite delicious."

Song Yide said triumphantly: "It's not bad. I thought it was good at the time, so I took it down. I also took a closer look at the printed embryo, but it has radish silk patterns. This time, it probably won't be wrong."

When Chu Chen put the seal back, he couldn't wait to ask: "How is this Fangtian Huang seal embryo not bad?"

"This is indeed a pretty good Shoushan Stone." Chu Chen replied.

"Really?" Song Yide was surprised when he heard Chu Chen say that.

Yi Hongguo was speechless: "I'm talking about Lao Song, you can hear it clearly before you're happy, okay? My junior brother said it's a good Shoushan stone, but he didn't say it was Shoushan Tian Huangshi."

"What?" Song Yide asked Chu Chen with his eyes wide open, "Xiao Chu, you said that the material of my embryo is not Tianhuang? Then why does it have radish silk patterns?"

"This is indeed not Tianhuang, but a kind of Shoushan stone, called the digging pit head stone." Chu Chen explained: "The characteristics of this kind of stone are that it sometimes has silk patterns, the texture is thicker, the skin is pink and opaque, and the middle is thicker. It is slightly transparent, mostly with red veins, cracks, and white halos from time to time."

As he said that, he took out the stamp embryo and explained to him: "Look at your seal, although the color looks pretty good, but the texture is relatively thick, and besides not being too transparent, there are also spots of whiteness. , as for the silk pattern of radish, it is more messy, not oval, and has more grid patterns, which are different from the real Tianhuang. Although this kind of stone has a certain value, compared with Tianhuang, it must be Not far."

"Hey!" Song Yide sighed and said, "Okay, hundreds of thousands have been wasted!"

"Anyway, how much money you have is stupid, and this little money is just a drizzle." Yi Hongguo sneered.

"You are so rich and stupid!" Song Yide said with a jump.

"If you're not a fool with a lot of money, why don't you always have a long memory? I've said it all. I don't know why you're so anxious to get a good Tianhuang for you next time."

"Isn't this my father-in-law's [-]th birthday soon? I'm in a hurry! You don't have the energy to help me buy it."

Yi Hongguo said dumbfounded when he heard the words: "It's so easy to get a good Tianhuang printed embryo, you have to give me time, it's only five days since you told me, how can it be so fast, of course , if you are willing to spend a lot of money, or use the name of your father-in-law, many people will definitely come to your door."

"Forget it then." Song Yide waved his hand and said, "If the relatives of my wife's natal family know that I spend money on it, then they can't laugh at me, let alone the name of the old man."

Yi Hongguo spread his hands and said: "That's it, but don't worry, an old friend of mine has already responded to me today, I will take a look tomorrow, and if it is suitable, I will buy it for you."

"Haha, Lao Yi, thank you so much..."

Next, Song Yide swiped his card to buy the jade pendant just now. After that, the group went to a famous teahouse nearby to drink tea, chat, and finally had dinner together.

After the meal, Yi Hongguo suggested: "Junior Brother, tomorrow is Saturday, are you interested in going to the ghost market in Zangbaolou in the Shanghai Stock Exchange?"

"It goes without saying, I must be interested." Chu Chen agreed immediately without hesitation.You must know that the ghost market in Zangbaolou is no less than Panjiayuan, and there is even a saying of "South Tibet and North Pan". He has long wanted to visit the ghost market here, and of course there is no reason to refuse.

"Well, go to bed early, I will pick you up tomorrow morning, don't fall asleep."

"Okay, brother, let's go back first..."

In a blink of an eye, the clock skipped 12 o'clock, Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe got dressed, and when Yi Hongguo arrived, the three of them walked towards the Treasure Tower.

The famous "Zangbao Building" has always been the object of attention of the antique collectors, and it is the largest antique and handicraft market in East China.It is located in the famous old Shanghai Street, close to People's Square, and the transportation is very convenient. In the late 80s, it was an extension product of the Kuaiji Road market. After the government department had been rushing to the Kuaiji Road market for a long time, it led to two famous antique markets due to the situation, one of which was the Zangbaolou.

Every Saturday from 1 am to 6 am, there will be stalls set up on the road around Zangbaolou, and this is the famous Zangbaolou ghost market. After [-] o’clock, these stalls will be moved into Zangbaolou.

Although Chu Chen and the others came early, it was obvious that someone had come earlier than them. Some stall owners had already set up their own stalls, and many others were taking out boxes with Items wrapped in newspapers were placed on their own stalls.

And some customers who came early have already started to wander among the stalls where the goods have been placed.

"Junior brother, let's go shopping separately." At this time, Yi Hongguo suggested: "But you have to keep your eyes open when shopping here, especially Ah Zhe, don't be impatient when shopping, you know?"

"Uncle Yi, don't worry, it's not the first time I've come to the ghost market, and the mistakes made by beginners will never happen to me." Liu Sizhe said, patting his chest.

"You, don't be sloppy!..."

Afterwards, Yi Hongguo gave a few more instructions, and the three of them dispersed.

To say that the ghost market in Zangbaolou is indeed on par with Panjiayuan. Not only are there more things, but also more customers. Of course, it is not like before. The water in the ghost market is much deeper. If you find a lot of leaks and get a lot of treasures, then prepare to let your wallet lose weight.

Of course, in the ghost market, the probability of good things must be higher than usual. Although at first glance, most of them are fakes, and some are simply fabricated products, but judging from Baojue’s reaction, it’s okay. There are indeed many things.

However, although there are many good things, unless it is a leak, it is still difficult to get things at a lower market price. After all, these stall owners are not fools, and they still know a little bit about the market.

Of course, having said that, visiting the ghost market is quite beneficial. Based on Chu Chen's years of experience, he summed up three points.

First of all, because the ghost market is full of miscellaneous items and a large amount, it provides many opportunities to compare the types and decorations of antiques. Regularly exercise your eyesight in this way, and it is easier to identify some fakes and high-quality imitations.

In fact, although these stall owners know some market conditions, some stall owners have different understandings of utensils, so the prices are often lower than the market prices. Therefore, as long as you can identify the goods, there is still a chance to make a lot of money in the ghost market.

Finally, there are many objects in the ghost market, all kinds, so it is easy to find some things that you usually want to find but can’t find, and if you buy them over time, it is easy to form your collection into series, such as blue and white porcelain series, Vase series, stationery series and so on.

Alright, let’s get down to business, Chu Chen walked through a few stalls. Although there were ceramics and jade, antique ornaments, stone carvings, wood carvings, old and new calligraphy and paintings, four treasures of the study, etc., except for a jade wall, he didn’t like anything else. of.

However, the price of that jade wall did not satisfy Chu Chen, and the stall owner insisted on the price, so in the end he had no choice but to give up regretfully.

Chu Chen shook his head, and then continued to stroll. When he passed a booth, a bright and pleasing color suddenly caught his eyes, which made him feel a little bit of interest, so he stopped to watch.

When the stall owner saw a business coming, he immediately said with a smile on his face: "Little brother, all the things I have here are new. If you see something you like, I can sell it to you at a lower price!"

Generally speaking, new goods are liked in the antique market, and second-hand goods mean that others pick up the rest. , New products are always the main goal of customers.

"I'll take a look first." Chu Chen nodded to the stall owner with a smile, and then looked directly at the object that attracted him just now.
