"Everyone in this business has been deceived. Since you are interested in these things, it is only a matter of time before you are deceived. Now that you have been defrauded for hundreds of dollars, it would be nice to learn a lesson!" the stall owner said calmly.
Chen Wenzhe stopped and nodded. Antique collecting is not much different from gambling.
Aren't you talking about gambling and cheating? The situation is similar in this antique shop, even worse than gambling.
Gambling may also give you a chance, or at least give you some sweetness to seduce you.
And the antique shop sometimes won't give you any chance. For example, the live broadcaster, none of the things he sold were good.
I didn't want to talk too much with this stall owner, after all, the previous Mr. Qi's impression on him changed too quickly.
He may appear to be passionate, but actually he is treacherous.
The owners of these antique shops in this antique city have no hospitality at all. They talk to you just for business, or to trick you.
This was so different from the hospitable Qi Lu that Chen Wenzhe felt uncomfortable with it.
However, seeing that there were still a few old things in this stall, Chen Wenzhe reluctantly walked closer.
After a few conversations, Chen Wenzhe knew that this stall owner was a frequent visitor to Chang'an Antique City.
He always comes here early every Saturday morning, alone and on a bicycle.
In an inconspicuous corner inside, there are several pieces of porcelain guarded.
He has been in this business for 10 years. He mainly buys things that are easy to sell in the market at low prices and sells them at high prices.
What troubles him is that good products are getting harder and harder to find, and counterfeit products are too common.
According to the stall owner, in antique markets like Antique City, there are still very few genuine items.
He revealed that he occasionally finds a few pieces to collect or resell.
A dull and gray porcelain bowl like the one he brought today cost only a dozen yuan when purchased.
Chen Wenzhe looked at the stall owner in surprise. He even told him the lowest price? How did he plan to sell it to him after this?
"Actually, you need to have skills to do this business. A good antique dealer must not only have in-depth knowledge of history, craftsmanship, artistic modeling, etc., but also be observant of customers and be good at discovering customers' psychological price points."
Looking at the smiling stall owner, Chen Wenzhe felt a little helpless.
When he goes out from now on, he will definitely need to change his clothes and his mobile phone. Well, his watch will definitely need to be hidden.
Before he knew it, Chen Wenzhe's clothes had changed too much, and he was completely different from the ordinary student before.
When he was in Dahai City before, he was not so conspicuous, but when he arrived in Chang'an City, he became a bright light.
It seems like a boss, you can tell he has money!
So, even if someone says that the piece of porcelain was bought for more than ten yuan, can it still be sold to you for twenty yuan?
The stall owner said with a smile: "The seller will not be tempted by ordinary haggling."
During the chat, people often brought other porcelain to discuss with him, and some wanted to bring other antiques in exchange for his porcelain bowl.
After several failed transactions, an old gentleman with gray hair bought the porcelain bowl for 1,200 yuan.
Although the profit was almost ten times, the stall owner still said: "You can't make much money from this business."
As soon as he finished speaking, the stall owner took out the same porcelain from the small wooden box under his buttocks.
Chen Wenzhe stared at the piece of porcelain, which seemed to be the same as the one just now.
Chen Wenzhe couldn't help but wipe his eyes. He saw it right. It was really the same, and it was not a fake.
This is truly an antique. Even if it is not very old, it is still hundreds of years old, right?
Otherwise, it wouldn’t sell for more than 1,200 yuan. Although this product is from a private kiln, it’s not Chinese cabbage, right?
Perhaps seeing Chen Wenzhe's stunned look, the stall owner admitted that his motivation for doing this business at first was very simple, just because he liked it, and he also saw some people getting rich from it.
But people in this industry have basically been deceived, so now he has become extra cautious.
Be cautious and you will receive less, but less but more.
This was the pride of the stall owner, so after selling the porcelain bowl, the stall owner naturally took out another one.
After running an antique stall for more than ten years, he still has some discernment, otherwise how could he be able to point out this bastard?
With this amount today, he can earn more than a thousand yuan. Even if there is no business for more than ten days, he will not be too anxious.
Seeing the stall owner like this, Chen Wenzhe was a little anxious.
Glancing at a tea bowl on the stall, Chen Wenzhe was now sure that this small white porcelain bowl was a tea bowl. Although it was plain and unpainted, the porcelain was delicate and should be a good thing.
At first glance, I feel that it is not an official kiln, but at least it is a fine piece of folk kiln.
However, if you take a closer look, you will find that this piece of porcelain is not simple.
Even if it is damaged, even if there is a layer of oil stains on the outside, Chen Wenzhe can still tell that it is a fine piece of porcelain.
He couldn't help but want to pick it up and take a look, but thinking of the boss's actions just now, Chen Wenzhe hesitated a little and asked: "There aren't many tea bowls like this, are there?"
"Haha, as soon as I saw my brother, you are a sensible person, so I didn't want to lie to you. When doing business, you have to be cautious. Look at these, they are all defective products. There are only six in total."
As he said that, the stall owner took out five identical tea bowls from the small wooden box under his butt.
There are six tea bowls in total. They are slightly larger and open, and they look a bit like tea cups.
This thing should have been a tureen before, with a saucer underneath and a tea lid above.
Rubbing the gap in a small bowl, Chen Wenzhe could see that these porcelain bowls were finely made, dense in texture, and as crystal clear as jade!
If it weren't for the layer of oil stains on the outside, the crystal-clear white color would definitely attract the stall owner's attention.
But now, he definitely doesn't pay too much attention to these tea bowls.
Playing with the teacup and looking at the unusual white color, Chen Wenzhe could easily imagine what kind of porcelain it was.
He had only heard of Dehua white porcelain, but had never seen it before.
He did not expect that the Dehua white porcelain produced in the south would come to the northwest.
I looked through all the tea bowls on the stall. If I didn’t see any patterns, let’s not call them words.
If there is no money left, it does not necessarily mean that it is not an official kiln!
At first, he thought it was ordinary porcelain, but when he saw the white color hidden under the oil stain, Chen Wenzhe discovered that it was a set of fine tea sets.
It's a pity that there is no teapot, and six tea bowls obviously don't make a set. In the north, at least eight tea bowls are needed to make a set.
There is no teapot, and even the original saucer and tea lid have disappeared. Now there are only lonely tea bowls. Fortunately, there are six here.
These tea bowls are not well preserved. Four of them are broken. They are either chipped or cracked.
