In fact, to put it bluntly, He Yushan was afraid that the Japanese would discover that he was selling fake goods and have them beaten to death.

Even if you die in someone else's shop, the Japanese are capable of settling the matter. So, it's not that He Yushan doesn't want to go, but that he doesn't dare to go.

Where's Wang Wenwu? He's not in the antique business at all. Besides, how could anyone die on the road in Beiping City? Even in Liulichang, it's not unusual for someone to go crazy and die because of this antique, so I don't know.

This matter.

Wang Wenwu played with the Jade Dragon Double Hook in his hand and thought to himself. Although this thing is fake, it will make at least two hundred yuan from this one. This is not a small bait.

Wang Wenwu was still hesitating.

As for He Yushan! He saw Wang Wenwu's hesitation. This is such a simple thing, and he can earn at least two hundred yuan just by doing it. Is there anything better than this in the world? He, a monthly salary of Qianshi, earns at least two hundred yuan every day.

It’s only two hundred per month, so it’s not available every month.

He Yushan wanted to add fuel to the fire and said: "Even if you don't sell Japanese, other foreign shops like Yulongshuanggou will still sell them. They don't know much about jade. Maybe they can be sold somewhere better than in Japan."

He’s still tall!”

Wang Wenwu knew more about this aspect than He Yushan. In the fifty-eighth year of Qianlong's reign, the eighty-year-old Qianlong met with the British envoy Macartney and gave him a jade Ruyi and another one to the British.

king.

Everyone knows that jade is a kind of ornament that is loved by princes and nobles. It is decorated with various auspicious patterns such as dragons and phoenixes, which represents everything goes well. Because the nobles like it, they are mostly made of fine materials and are very beautiful.

And valuable. In addition to being a gift, it is also an excellent gift given by the emperor to foreign envoys and courtiers.

But the British envoy didn't understand this. Not only did he not recognize Ruyi, he didn't even recognize the rare jade material of Ruyi itself.

Macartney recorded in his diary that Jade Ruyi is "a white agate-like stone, about one and a half feet long, with strange carvings. The Chinese regard it as a treasure, but the object itself does not seem to be of much value."

This is the attitude of the British envoy to the national gift given by the Chinese emperor. This is because foreigners do not understand China's jade culture. In order to explain Ruyi, the British just translated it as "scepter", which is a symbol of power, but Ruyi

It has no meaning at all.

If you don’t understand China’s jewelry and jade, why did the Eight-Power Allied Forces snatch it with such joy when they invaded China? This is because no matter how much you don’t understand, the whole world still has a common understanding of beauty, at least.

You can still tell whether it looks good or not. Who doesn’t like beautiful things?

In addition to recognizing "beauty", there is also recognition of China's jade carving craftsmanship. For example, they may not be able to understand the hollow carved stove bottles, crystal-clear thin cups, and three-dimensional and vivid jade mountains.

Whatever the pattern is, it all has its own meaning, but when you hear that such a marvelous work was polished by hand over several years, you are enough to be amazed.

Therefore, this imitation ancient jade from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is worth a thousand oceans in the Han cultural circle. In Western culture, it is probably not as valuable as amber. If it can be sold for a hundred oceans, it depends on how old it is.

….

Wang Wenwu said: "When have you ever seen those foreigners collect jade? They know that jade symbolizes the beauty of things, the beauty of people, the nobility of character, faith, talent, good luck, etc. What jade represents

Meaning?

They don't understand, they don't understand anything. What's my arsenic is his honey."

How could He Yushan not think about those foreigners who knew nothing, but he had no idea what antiques those foreigners liked. In the end, he found that distressed bronze was good, and there were many people in Beiping who had the same idea as He Yushan.

It didn't take long for the foreigner to hire a veteran to take over. The days of making money out of the foreigners' pockets were over.

It seems that this Wang Qianshi also knows that foreigners' money is not easy to cheat, so he can only say: "Wang Qianshi, you see, this thing is really good, as long as you can find the right person. I will tell you that you will never be less than one person."

Qian Dayang sells it. If it’s less than this price, I’ll make up for the remaining money.”

Wang Wenwu's situation is different from that of He Yushan. He Yushan is like a small trader, cheating one family after another. Wang Wenwu

It is about making money through connections, so even if you are giving antiques, they should be given to people who like them. No, you can’t use fakes. As long as they are used together, who will know?

Wang Wenwu struggled in his heart for a while. Finally he said: "Six hundred yuan, just keep the things!"

Six hundred oceans, this money is really too little, and it is not enough to split between myself and Lao Jia. He said: "Wang Qianshi, six hundred oceans! This money is really too little! You have to stop the increase."

Wang Wenwu said: "Just six hundred!"

He Yushan picked up the Jade Dragon Shuanggou on the table and said goodbye to Wang Wenwu. This Wang Wenwu thing is completely unscrupulous. Even if you have all kinds of tricks behind you, it will be useless.

Watching He Yushan go out, Preston said: "What he threw out just now was obviously a bait. Didn't you say you wanted to eat the bait at the beginning? Why didn't you buy that thing?"

Wang Wenwu said: "It will take a lot of effort to realize that thing now. There are antiques all over the street now, where can I find this mallet? Anyway, if he doesn't find me, he will always find someone else. Then we will see what can be done

You can't get in the way."

Preston was noncommittal. After all, robbing money is addictive. Officials with a little power did a lot of things behind their backs, including Preston and others.

Especially when Dashuai Zhang left BJ City. At that time, he was really busy as if rushing to a party.

Although it was Wang Wenwu himself who rejected He Yushan, when he thought that as long as he could find the right person, he could immediately earn more than two hundred yuan. Wang Wenwu couldn't even read the newspaper in his hand. He was wondering if he could cooperate.

Fake ones are online!

But on weekdays, Wang Wenwu always deals with rough people. Wang Wenwu has never been exposed to this kind of business of educated people. Where can he get to know people who make fakes?

Shu Jinxi looked at Wang Wenwu who was stunned there and said, "What bad idea are you thinking of there, so lost in thought?"

"Do you think all my thoughts are bad ideas?"

"I've never seen you do anything good. Selling arms, prostitutes, harboring criminals, and framing others. Do you need me to say a few more things?"

"You also said that I framed others. I think you are framing me. When have you ever seen me selling arms and weapons? And harboring criminals. This is even more nonsense. I am not from the police department.

How can people be able to protect criminals?

Although I am not a completely good person, I am definitely not a bad person. Look at what you said, none of it is true."

It turned out to be the Qingman Courtyard.
