Shishi City is the capital of Hebei Province. It is the political, economic, cultural, transportation, science and technology, finance and information center of the province. It is an area with early development of human civilization and a profound cultural heritage.

Baifokou culture, Zhongshan culture, and Western Shang culture all originated in Shishi City, creating a civilization that attracted the attention of the world. Due to its convenient transportation and abundant natural resources, it quickly became a pearl in the North China Plain.

In ancient cities with historical and cultural heritage, relatively speaking, the business of the antique market has always been very good, especially in recent years, Chinese art has been very popular in the international investment market, and the domestic antique market has also flourished.

Several antique markets have been established in Baifo Street, Hongqi Street and other places in Shi City. Every weekend, you can always see some people coming here with magnifying glasses and small flashlights.

"Brother Feng, this place is all from those old men. Why are we here for?"

Walking in the antique market on Baifo Street, Li Tianyuan was a little impatient. He just saw a jade carved Pixiu that was good and wanted to hold it in his hand, but he was stared at by the stall owner like a thief, which made Li Tianyuan feel uncomfortable all over.

However, Li Tianyuan was not wrong. At this time, CCTV's treasure appraisal program has not yet appeared, and it has not yet formed the trend of Taobao in the future. At this time, the prosperity of the antique market is only in those specific circles.

Most of the people who collect collections are middle-aged or retired elderly people with some economic foundation. Qin Feng and the three young men wandering around here are indeed a bit eye-catching.

"Boss Li, you don't understand it now. What you are playing with here is eye ability. If you can find a vacancy, you might be able to earn 8,000 yuan with just one thing."

When people have money, they have to pursue taste. Before Xie Xuan went bankrupt, he also wanted to play some elegant art, but he spent a lot of money on antiques. Although most of the things he bought were fakes, Xie Xuan understood some of the tricks.

"Just tell me, the boss bought a lot of things at that time, and weren't they all identified as fake?"

Li Tianyuan said this and said, and when Xie Xuan mentioned this, he remembered it. Once Xie Dazhi asked him to pick up an appraisal master at home, and had some good tea and wine to entertain him.

But when the master left, Xie Dazhi's face turned dark. After buying all the things in the room, none of them were real. Xie Dazhi was so angry that he smashed all the things in the room.

"Yuanzi, Xiaopang is right. This thing is exquisite in eyesight..."

Seeing the tall and strong Li Tianyuan standing beside him, it was indeed a little eye-catching. Qin Feng said, "Yuanzi, if you don't like to stroll, just go to the door and wait for us!"

"Okay, Brother Feng, I'm waiting for you at the exit!"

Hearing Qin Feng's words, Li Tianyuan was happy, turned around and ran to the door of the antique city market, lit a cigarette and squatted there and started smoking. It was more comfortable to watch the beauties on the road here than accompanying Qin Feng to go shopping.

After Li Tianyuan left, Qin Feng walked around more and more meticulously, and he would stay at almost every street stall, from jade to bronze coins, and had a long time with the bosses.

Although he seemed to be not old last year, Qin Feng could speak very well when he picked up everything. Those old men were often dumbfounded by Qin Feng. Without much effort, Qin Feng wore various antique gadgets on his hands and neck.

"Brother Feng, do you still like to wear these things? But...but these things are all fake!"

Looking at Qin Feng's ivory carved bead chains on his neck and the small-leaves bracelet on his wrist, Xie Xuan's face became very strange. He didn't understand why Qin Feng would spend money to buy them after he said that these were fake things?

Although these things are not expensive, and they only cost 30 or 50 yuan in total, Xie Xuan knew that after giving them 500 yuan, Qin Feng only had six or seven hundred yuan left in his pocket.

"It's fake, but the workmanship is OK. If you don't hold it in your hand and look carefully, you can't tell it at a glance."

Qin Feng smiled and said casually: "Xiao Pang, what kind of antique business does the Nie family mainly do? Is it calligraphy, painting, jade, or ceramic bronze ware?"

"I heard that they made jade? I heard Boss Li say once that they seemed to have bought some jade ore."

When Xie Xuan entered the Young People's Management Office, Nie Yuanlong was released from prison. He later heard something about the Nie family from Li Tianyuan, but he didn't know much about it.

"Are you playing with jade?" Qin Feng

He nodded, and said nothing, but when he was shopping at various stalls, he focused obviously on various jade objects.

Sellers on antique streets are generally divided into two types. One is a street stall. If you take a newspaper and do business, you can start a business. This cost is very low. You only need to pay a market management fee of five yuan a day.

The stalls of such sellers are often filled with ancient coins or jade pendants, mostly covered with soil, which looks like they are a bit old.

The second type of sellers' investment cost is much higher because they operate in a store style and have to deliver water, electricity and rent to the market every month.

These store-style antiques are classified in detail, some are specially sold for calligraphy and paintings, and some are specially sold for jade. The things placed inside look extremely exquisite under the projection of lights.

Of course, the prices of items in the store are also amazing. A small thing that looks different from those outside is hundreds or even thousands of times higher than those on street stalls.

After walking around the street stalls, Qin Feng started to visit the antique shops, but the attitude of the antique shop owners was much worse than that of the street stall owners. When he looked up, he saw that there were two young men who ignored him and did his own things on his own.

After coming out of an antique shop, Xie Xuan said unhappily: "Brother Feng, can they make money by doing business like this?"

When doing business, it is important to open the door to welcome customers. Those shops are open, but the bosses completely treat them as air. Xie Xuan still has a young master's temper and can't stand it immediately.

"Xiaopang, in the antique industry, he often doesn't open for three years, but he can eat for three years. Moreover, those who open a store will accumulate some old customers or collectors, and they don't make money by retail."

Looking at Xie Xuan's angry look, Qin Feng laughed and said, "Or... you go find Yuanzi, I'll go out for a while."

What surprised Qin Feng was that Xie Xuan shook his head and said, "No, Brother Feng, I will accompany you and follow you to increase your knowledge."

"It's more suitable for Li Tianyuan to eat this business."

Seeing that Xie Xuan had calmed down suddenly, Qin Feng couldn't help but nodded in his heart, "Look more, say less, remember" these six words have always been good words in the antique industry.

Before liberation, the antique industry could be considered a foreigner, because no matter which antique shop or pawn shop, it was always impossible to escape the word "thousand".

Fake antique dealers always want to sell things in fake ways, but the store naturally doesn't want to receive fake goods.

In this process, all kinds of bizarre stories happen from time to time, and of course, the old scammers from Qianmen are inseparable from the crowd. Some shops are even opened by people from Qianmen.

Unlike traditional business, the most important thing in opening an antique shop is not the source of funds, connections, but the eye, because no matter whether it is buying or selling, once you get a slap, the loss will be huge.

Before liberation, no matter how big or small the antique shops were, there would be a big shopkeeper, whose status was only higher than that of the owner, and many even occupied some of the store's dry shares.

If there is a shopkeeper, there will naturally be apprentices, but at that time, the apprentices could only look at and not ask. If they were not accepted, the shopkeeper would not teach them anything. If they wanted to learn skills, they could only observe more in daily life.

Although Xie Xuan's temperament is abrupt, his eyesight is much stronger than Li Tianyuan. At least in the bargaining just now, Xie Xuan spoke authentic Shishi, which really helped Qin Feng save some money.

Seeing Xie Xuan's performance, Qin Feng was a little moved to bring him into the industry, because according to his master, the golden and prosperous antiques in troubled times will make great achievements in this industry in the future!

Qin Feng is no longer satisfied with opening a scrap purchase station back then. That's too sorry for what he learned.

Qin Feng is familiar with the Three Kingdoms, but his dislike is Zhuge Liang the most. That guy is exhausted to death. Qin Feng is now thinking about forming his own team.

With this thought, Qin Feng said more and more, and he deliberately instilled some tricks of antiques into Xie Xuan.
