Jianbao life

Chapter 680 Onlookers
Qiao Qingtai laughed when he heard the words: "Old Zhu, your things are really good, but after all, the old man's [-]th birthday, it is hard to guarantee that some people will want to use this platform to fight for treasures. I think if you see something more suitable, you should change it." Bar!"

Zhu Dafu smiled and said, "What treasure are you fighting for? Last time when the old man was on his [-]th birthday, someone was fighting for treasures. As a result, a piece of Tang Bohu's work was given as a fake. He was ashamed in front of his colleagues. He almost lost his face when he returned. Then I would be ashamed to see people. Later, the old gentleman said that from now on, giving gifts is fine, but fighting treasures is not."

"There is such a thing?" Qiao Qingtai was a little surprised when he heard the words, and then asked quickly: "Old Zhu, who hit the eyes at that time?"

Zhu Dafu glanced at him with a smile and said, "Do you think I will talk about this?"

Qiao Qingtai smiled sheepishly. He also knew that asking such a question was a bit taboo, so he didn't ask any more.

"Anyway, no matter what, I have to find a special congratulatory gift, otherwise it will be too ordinary, even if I don't fight treasures, I will lose my share!"

Zhu Dafu said: "I said, old Qiao, don't be so deliberate, we are all very old, why are we still fighting to win, just buy something that can represent your own heart and give it to the old man. "

Qiao Qingtai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't get into a dead end..."

Next, the three of them went to the stalls one by one, picking out the things they liked.

To be precise, the Chaotian Palace market can only be regarded as mainly miscellaneous items, so Qiao Qingtai is the happiest among the three people shopping here.

Qiao Qingtai seemed a little impatient when talking and doing things, but he was very patient and careful when dealing with antiques. In fact, this was normal. If he was as impatient when dealing with antiques as usual, then he would not have the current status.

The three of them picked and picked and visited more than a dozen stalls, but found that they were all ordinary things, which made Qiao Qingtai somewhat disappointed.

Zhu Dafu put down a bamboo-carved pen holder, stood up and said, "Why don't we go to my friend's shop first?"

"Row……"

Qiao Qingtai nodded and agreed. It is cheap to buy things at the stalls, but the probability of finding good things is much lower than that in stores. Now is not the time for him to save money.

So Zhu Dafu led the two of them to his friend's shop.

Zhu Dafu's friend is called Meng Yixian. He is not young, and he is over 50 years old. He mainly likes to collect purple clay pots. However, the objects in his shop are also mainly for sale.

Among the many shops in Chaotian Palace, the location of Meng Yixian's shop is relatively poor, but there are not many shops here, only about [-] in total. Therefore, even if the location of the shop is not good, you can rent a shop here. The next store is also not easy.

As soon as the three of them walked to the middle of the market, they looked at a group of people in front of them from a distance, and they became curious and wanted to go to see what happened.

There was a booth surrounded by people, and the three looked up. To Zhu Dafu's surprise, the one standing in the middle was exactly the friend Meng Yixian he was looking for.

At this time, Meng Yixian was holding a handful of purple sand pots, and was entangled in bargaining with the stall owner. The main price of the stall was 4000 yuan, but he refused to let go.

Because the three of them were far away, they didn't know what the value of the pot was, but the onlookers were chattering and laughing, and the formation looked as if the purple clay pot was a good thing.

Seeing this scene, Chu Chen secretly thought it was going to be bad. He didn't know that the person inside was Zhu Dafu's friend, but he knew that, like the current situation, if the person inside really liked the purple clay pot in his hand , [-]% will agree to the price of the stall owner.

In other words, Meng Yixian is also an old man in the antique business, and he knows that he can't be impatient now, but just like Chu Chen thinks, sometimes people are affected by the surrounding environment.

Just like now, because of the influence of the environment, he became less calm, and he couldn't figure out whether the pot was worth buying. In addition, he saw a bunch of people booing around, thinking that he had picked up a bargain, and was afraid of being snatched away. , so grabbing the pot is even more reluctant to let go.

However, the more this is the case, the more people are interested, and no one walks away, wanting to see what the ending will be like. Some players are also affected by this atmosphere, thinking that the purple clay pot is a good thing, and want to wait. If Meng Yi doesn't buy it first, they will take advantage of it.

Obviously, the atmosphere at the scene put more pressure on Meng Yixian. In addition, the stall owner was also an experienced man who knew the market of his stuff, so it became more difficult to bargain.

At this time, Meng Yixian wanted to ask a friend very much. He looked around and happened to find Zhu Dafu and others standing outside, and hurriedly asked Zhu Dafu for help.

In other words, it is very difficult to deal with this kind of thing in the antique market, because the most taboo in the antique business is to sabotage other people's business openly, even if it is a fake product, pointing it out clearly can easily cause disputes.

But then again, since his friend asked for it, of course Zhu Dafu had to help, so he asked Meng Yixian for a purple clay pot and took a closer look.

This is a Jinglan purple clay teapot, which is one of eighteen kinds of teapots designed by the famous purple clay teapot master Chen Mansheng in the Qing Dynasty. Of course, this purple clay teapot was not made by Chen Mansheng himself, otherwise Meng Yixian would be like this Tangled.

However, this pot is also remarkable, with a calm and majestic shape. The body of the pot is engraved with the inscription "The well is deep, the bottle is small, and the style of drinking is small, and it will always be good." , stylus and silver hooks, scattered and orderly, with the potential of penetrating into wood.From the perspective of shape and craftsmanship, it should be made in the late Qing Dynasty.

But such a purple clay pot, with the current market price, four thousand is definitely not worth it. Zhu Dafu estimates that it is only worth about three thousand at most.

"How are things?" Meng Yi asked first.

"There is no problem with the items, but the price is a bit more expensive." Although Zhu Dafu does not make a living here, he still has to abide by the rules of the antique shop. Speaking of this, he has done his best.

But Meng Yixian didn't know whether he only heard the first half of the sentence, or was confused for a while, so he bought the things at the price offered by the stall owner.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Dafu had no choice but to smile wryly to himself.Besides, Meng Yixian only spent an extra thousand. Antiques, as long as you buy the right ones, can make up for the increase in value after a while.However, there is a limit to spending too much money. If you spend a lot of money to buy it, it is a bit inappropriate.

Meng Yixian who bought something was very happy, and quickly brought the three of them to his shop, opened the door with a key, and then invited the three of them to sit down inside, and quickly made everyone a cup of tea.

Everyone sat down, Zhu Dafu first introduced to both parties.

Qiao Qingtai is well-known in the antique business, and Meng Yixian has also heard of it. As for Chu Chen, Meng Yixian, like Qiao Qingtai, has already seen it on TV, so after Zhu Dafu introduced him, Meng Yixian immediately showed his respect to the two of them. Quite enthusiastic.

Zhu Dafu took a sip of tea, and then asked a little: "I said Xiaomeng, why did you ask me to help you look at the goods just now? It doesn't mean that you only know me among those people just now, right?"

Logically speaking, Meng Yi opened a store in the market first, and he should know a lot of friends, but just now he went to him directly, which is what made Zhu Dafu curious.

Meng Yi smiled wryly and said: "There are indeed people I know there just now, but they are just ordinary friends, but the most important thing is that I had some entanglements with that stall owner before. Will go buy his things."

Hearing this, everyone understood what was going on. You must know that those friends of Meng Yixian must have been hanging out in this antique market too. If you don’t see them, look up and see them. Maybe they will do business with that stall owner in the future. In this kind of matter, the stall owner might also have objections to Meng Yixian's friends.

Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "Xiao Meng, you are a bit unkind. Our antique business is not a big one. What if I need him to help me with something in the future?"

Although one is in the capital and the other is in Jinling, there are only a limited number of high-end antiques, so what Zhu Dafu said is also possible.

Meng Yixian quickly said with a smile on his face: "Old Zhu, I'm really sorry about this matter today. If you have any requests, just ask, and I will help if I can."

Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "I'll talk about this later, I'm a little curious now, how did you settle your grievances with a street vendor? Could it be that someone stole the other party's business back then?"

Meng Yixian sighed and said, "Hey, speaking of it, I have to be blamed for this..."

Meng Yixian was originally a teacher. Because he loves history more, he usually likes to collect some ancient things, which can be regarded as a hobby. In the early 80s, his relatives who lived in Xiangjiang came back to visit relatives. When they saw the gadgets in his collection, they immediately became interested and bought them with money.

Although the relatives only gave three hundred, but at that time, this amount of money was already a huge sum of money.Meng Yi first saw that antiques were so profitable, and relying on his professional knowledge, he stepped into this business.

Later, with the understanding of antiques, he realized that the things he sold to relatives were worth at least one hundred thousand, and they were still in rice yuan.This made him heartbroken, and he made up his mind to make a name for himself in this industry.

If you want to make achievements in the antique industry, one of the most important conditions is that you have the goods. Where does the goods come from?At that time, besides going to the countryside to receive goods by himself, Meng Yixian only thought of buying goods from those shovels.

When Meng Yixian was in business, he was more generous. Generally, as long as the things were right, the price was also right. Sometimes he would buy things directly without haggling. Therefore, he was usually loved by those shovels.

Like the stall owner just now, he was a senior shovel. Of course, the stall owner had just entered the industry not long ago, so he was still a newcomer. He was also one of the vast shovels who liked to do business with Meng Yixian.
