Chapter 11 Underground Black Market ()

After waiting on the side of the road for less than ten minutes, Lao Zhu's white BMW 5 appeared. As soon as he stopped at the intersection, Lao Zhu stretched out his fat hand from the car window and waved to Zhang Can: "Get on the car!"

Zhang Can quickly opened the rear door and got into the car. After getting in the car, he found that Lao Su was also in the car, greeting him with a smile on his face: "Xiao Zhang!"

However, Zhang Can could feel that Lao Su's smile was hypocritical, and even had the meaning of forcing a smile. Of course, Zhang Can felt that there was more of a smile hidden in his smile, and Lao Su's smile was hidden!

"Where are you going?"

The direction of Lao Zhu driving was not his Old Shizhai, Zhang Can asked strangely.

"Xiao Zhang, don't say so much, go with me first. I, Lao Zhu, won't sell you. It's a good thing in any case!" Lao Zhu replied with a smile, forming a strong contrast with Lao Su's expression. One is true, one is false, one is showing kindness, and the other is malicious!

Zhang Can pretended to be the same as before, and was not prepared for Lao Su. He smiled and talked to him about antiques. Lao Su also answered in detail. No one could see that there was a conflict between the two of them.

Zhang Can is quite familiar with Jincheng, but Lao Zhu drove a few times and turned around. The place he went to was a strange area that he had never been to. Then he left the big highway on the small highway. When he got on the small highway, it was already a suburb. The place where the car was walking behind became more and more remote. Later, it was completely wasteland, and the road was covered with wild grass with deep people.

At the end of the small highway is a Jigen Road up the mountain. It is only more than four meters wide. The road is rotten and bumpy. Fortunately, Lao Su's car is OK and the chassis is high, otherwise it would not be able to hold on.

He circled around the mountain road, reached to the top of the mountain, and then climbed over another mountain. Lao Zhu turned the car to the right, got off Jigen Road, and turned into a large square meter.

Zhang Can saw from the window that there were several large tents in the large ping, and seven or eight cars were parked around, all of which were powerful off-road vehicles, Hummer H3, Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, and look at Lao Zhu's BMW 5. It was a bit inferior to the mountain roads like this.

Lao Zhu stopped the car, got off the car first, and then said, "Xiao Zhang, Lao Su, we're here!"

Old Su's face was a little gloomy. He thought everything Zhu Senlin said was a thorn. Why did he say "Xiao Zhang" first and then mention his name? Does it mean that in Zhu Senlin's heart, Zhang Can's position is higher than him?

If it doesn't matter normally, but yesterday Zhang Can made him a fool. The most feared thing in the antique industry is that others have compared their technical appraisal skills. In this industry, they rely on their eyesight to make a living. Lao Su fell in front of Zhang Can, but he was in front of his boss Zhu Senlin. Zhu Senlin seemed to treat Zhang Can differently, so Lao Su was very sensitive.

There were five or six men in the wild floor barbecue. The skewers were very fragrant and they wanted to eat them when they smelled them.

Old Zhu waved and took Zhang Can and Lao Su into the big tent.

There were seven or eight people in the tent, a large round table, but it was just a folding shape. Four people sat next to the round table, and one person stood behind each of the four people.

Zhu Senlin bowed to the four people sitting with a smile on his face and said one by one: "Old Ma, Lao Chen, Sun Lao San..." Finally, he said to the fat man with the most aura: "Mr. Wang, have you arrived?"

Mr. Wang is actually not very fat, but he looks very rich. Of course, women are called rich, and men are usually called lucky.

Mr. Wang nodded, glanced at Zhang Can, and said in surprise: "Boss Zhu, you brought Master Su before, right? Why did you bring more people today?"

When he said this, the other people's eyes were also on Zhang Can. Zhang Can was very unfamiliar to them, so he had doubts in his eyes, but he was very familiar with Zhu Senlin. I thought he wouldn't dare to bring plainclothes, right?

Zhu Senlin quickly laughed and said, "Mr. Wang, everyone, haha, don't worry, this little brother is Zhang Can, I am my friend, don't worry, I have been in Jincheng for several years. Don't be afraid of being young, my eyesight is this..." As he said that, he gave a thumbs up.

Zhu Senlin sat down by the round table, and Lao Su stood behind him. Judging from the pose, Zhang Can knew that the other people standing behind were probably the same as Lao Su, the appraisal masters of the four sitting people. Except for Mr. Wang, who may have the highest status, the other three people knew each other.

Old Ma is called Ma Dong, Old Chen is called Chen Xingguo, and Sun Lao San is called Sun Tianzhi. They are both owners of Jincheng Antique Store. They are stronger than Zhu Senlin. Zhang Can knows these people, but he is not famous. He earns some living expenses by picking up business and attracting customers in the antique market. Naturally, these bosses will not know them and have no impression.

Mr. Wang nodded and gently knocked his fingers on the table, "Okay, since he is Boss Zhu's person, I won't mention it. I'm here, so let's start. The rules are the same. All cash transactions will be bright!"

The person behind Mr. Wang immediately lifted a box to the table and opened it first. Inside the box was a banknote that had not even opened the bank seal. Two-thirds were RMB and one-third were US dollars. On the surface of the banknote, the avatar of the old man Franklin happened to be seen.

Mr. Wang spread his hands and said, "One million yuan, one million US dollars, according to the old rules, the minimum number of RMB 5 million is as low as 5 million yuan, and the excess amount will be transferred instantly!"

Then there were Ma Dong, Chen Xingguo and Sun Tianzhi, who were all lit up the cash, and they all had the same number. When it was Zhu Senlin's turn, Lao Zhu smiled awkwardly, lifted the box to the table and opened it and said, "I have a weak foundation, and I only brought 700,000 US dollars and one million RMB!"

Mr. Wang waved his hand and signaled to know. He turned his head to Sun Tianzhi and said, "Boss Sun, let's start, you can show off the goods."

Sun Tianzhi was not polite, and he hooked his fingers to the subordinate standing behind him. The subordinate behind him bent down to open the box, took an item, and then carefully placed it on the table.

Everyone's eyes were staring at this item. It was a small piece, grayish-white, like a puppy, with an overall length of only six or seven centimeters, three or four centimeters high, and only half a centimeter thick. There is no doubt that this is a jade piece.

Sun Tianzhi pointed to the small jade artifact and smiled and said, "Everyone, this jade dog was obtained from Henan. It is said to be something from the Western Zhou Dynasty. Let's take a look!"

What Sun Tianzhi said was not "affirm", but "it is said". This is knowledgeable. If he brings things, he will rely on his eyesight. If he makes a profit or suffer losses, he will be held in the closed door and bear it himself. Everyone who plays this industry understands that the most taboo thing in the industry is to be deceived and suffer losses and let go of wind and rain everywhere. Playing with antiques is just a sight and a heartbeat.

On the market, everyone knows that there are very few real good things. The objects in antiques are on a specific level, which is prohibited by the state. There are only a lot of people playing with jade, and there are very few real antiques. Of course, this does not mean that all jade is real, and jade is fake, but this law does not explicitly stipulate and restrict it. If you sell it in a gold store, you can put it on the shelves and sell it regularly. The methods and methods of making fake jade are becoming more and more clever. If you take one piece on a street stall, the color can be compared with the best jade color. But it is certain that 999 of a thousand pieces are fake.

Besides, the transaction they are doing now is shameful. If it is true as Sun Tianzhi said, the origin of these things will definitely be shameful. This transaction is about vision. Of course, for people like Ma Dong, Chen Xingguo, and Sun Tianzhi, millions will not be a big deal, but if you do business, who wants to pay?

Several masters walked to the front stage and each took magnifying glasses and other tools to check the jade dog.

The quality of this jade dog looks very old on the surface and is old, but these people are veterans, so it is not difficult to make such a lie.

Lao Su and Ma Dong, Chen Xingguo and Mr. Wang also knew each other, and it was not the first time they met, so when several people gathered at the table to identify the jade dog, they nodded and said hello to each other.

Zhu Senlin looked at Zhang Can, as if he was signaling him why he didn't follow him to identify.

Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on the jade dog at this time, no one paid attention to him, Zhang Can leaned into Zhu Senlin's ear and whispered: "Old Zhu, that jade dog is real, but don't want it. The jade quality is not very good, and it is probably not worth that much. If you want to buy it now, it may cost a lot of money. It's not cost-effective. Let's wait for the next one!"

Zhang Can just looked through with his black and white eyes. The jade dog is indeed a bit old and is undoubtedly an antique, but under the vicissitudes of appearance, the texture of the jade is not particularly good and cannot be considered a good one.

This jade dog is made of Nanyang jade. Nanyang jade is produced in Dushan, Nanyang, Henan. It is commonly known as Nanyang jade, and is also called "Duyu". It is one of the four famous jades in China.

The reason why Nanyang jade is called Duyu is that it is different from jadeite and soft jade, which consists of only one mineral element. The material components of Nanyang jade contain a variety of minerals and have outstanding characteristics. Its hardness is from Mohs 6 to 6.5, second only to jadeite, and is harder than other types of jade.

Jade and jade are called stone because jade grows from stone. Jade is jadeite and has the highest hardness. It is only produced in Myanmar. Nephrite is produced in many places around the world. However, China is the region with the largest output and types. The reason why nephrite is called "soft" does not mean that its texture is soft. It is classified in jade, which is softer than jade. Regardless of jadeite, its hardness is very high. Usually, the simplest way to identify jadeware, if you use a force to scratch the jade piece on the glass, the real jade will be intact and the fake jade will break.
