"Brother Zhuang, please go back slowly. How much did you spend on these two items you bought?"
The monkey grabbed Zhuang Rui, looked at the stall owner, and said: "Lao Zhou, this is my boss, a well-known antique appraisal expert, who once appeared on the CCTV treasure appraisal program, you can't make arbitrary prices.
ah……"
"Hey, Monkey, what are you talking about? I, Lao Zhou, have been doing business in Panjiayuan for more than a day or two. He is definitely a childish man who buys and sells for both the public and the public. If you don't believe me, ask this teacher.
…”
After hearing what the monkey said, Lao Zhou had an expression on his face as if he had been wronged a lot, but he felt regretful in his heart. Damn, if I had known he was an expert, I would have offered at least 5,000... No, at least 5,000.
Selling his mother for 10,000 yuan.
It's just that Lao Zhou didn't know that one of these two swords, let alone 10,000 yuan, was worth 100,000 yuan. If he spent 600 yuan to only buy something worth 10,000 yuan, Zhuang Rui would feel that he was missing out.
Well? He still doesn't like those few small coins.
"What an expert, monkey, don't be blind, let's go, go back to the store..."
Zhuang Rui raised his hand and hit the monkey on the back of the head, turned around and walked away. The monkey was hit inexplicably, so he quickly followed him.
"Monkey, I said you have been hanging out in Panjiayuan for nothing during this time?"
Zhuang Rui saw the monkey following him, holding the sword wrapped in newspaper in his hand, trying to scare him.
"Brother Zhuang, what's wrong? Did I do something wrong?"
The monkey didn't know why Zhuang Rui suddenly became angry, and he felt a little uneasy. Although he knew that Zhuang Rui was easy to talk to, if the boss looked at you and felt uncomfortable one day, he would have many reasons to send you away.
Monkey's time in Beijing was very comfortable. He lived in a high-end community, drank wine all day long, and could follow Nobita who liked to exercise and go to the gym to flirt with lonely young women. Don't worry about the day.
After living so freely, Monkey is not willing to go back to Pengcheng to sell pets.
When Monkey saw Zhuang Rui shopping this time, he felt that he was already familiar with him in Panjiayuan. He wanted to give Zhuang Rui some face, but unexpectedly the flattery went to the horse's feet, and he was a little dumbfounded for a moment.
"I said, you kid, the more you fool around, the less discerning you become..."
Seeing Monkey's face turned pale with fright, Zhuang Rui knew that this kid was timid, so he softened his tone and said: "Monkey, if you want to pick up leaks in Panjiayuan, you have to pretend to be half-understanding so that the sellers don't dare to fool you too much.
, but I also want to take advantage of you so that I can pick up something good. You are an expert, but others are still asking for the price to death..."
"Oh, brother, look at my brain..."
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, the monkey woke up and patted his head. This is indeed the truth. Nowadays, according to experts, it can be used as money. An appraisal certificate can increase the value of an object.
It is a doubling product, let alone something that is favored by experts. No matter how high the price is, some stall owners will not sell it.
"Okay, if you want to get along in this industry, you should learn how to act stupid. It will definitely be better than pretending to be smart..."
Zhuang Rui patted Monkey's shoulder, and thought of Old Tang, the "Tranny" who set up the trap for the broker Xiao Fang. His skill at pretending to be stupid and dumbfounded was absolutely superb. Most people were not good enough for Old Tang.
Zhuang Rui wouldn't have been able to expose the scam unless he saw some imitation antique chairs in the back room.
Later, Lao Bai came forward and heard that he wanted some money back from Xiao Fang, maybe only 100,000. This money also bought a lesson. Don’t think that you are the only smart person in this world and treat others as fools. Often,
You fell into the hands of a fool.
Zhuang Rui has been to Panjiayuan a few times since he appeared on the CCTV program, but he was recognized by those people after chatting with the stall owner for a few words. Those who work in this industry will definitely pay attention to these treasure appraisal programs.
.
After this happened several times, Zhuang Rui became annoyed and deliberately cut his long hair into a short crew cut, just to prevent people from noticing him. Otherwise, with CCTV's terrifying ratings, he would miss it.
I'm afraid I can only go shopping abroad. Zhuang Rui also vowed that he would never appear on TV again.
"Brother Zhuang, I understand. Do you think it's okay if you see me like this?"
After the monkey thought for a while, he completely understood the powerful relationship between them. His face, which was originally shrewd, now looked like a fool. Zhuang Rui looked at it in amazement.
"Hey, Monkey, you're not in the store, why are you wandering outside?" Zhuang Rui suddenly thought that the stall where he met Monkey was two streets away from "Xuan Ruizhai".
The monkey scratched his head, and the silly look on his face became more and more fake, and he said: "Brother Zhuang, didn't you just ask me to sneak into these crowds when I have nothing to do? I'm here to listen to the story..."
"Oh, I forgot about this. Hey, I said, you kid, please stop pretending in front of me..."
When Zhuang Rui saw the monkey like this, he couldn't help but feel dumbfounded. He pretended to be fooling others. Isn't he tired from being so stupid all day long?
"Hey, you should train more. By the way, Brother Zhuang, if you like these sword-like antiques, I know that Panjiayuan has a shop that specializes in selling these things..."
Monkey felt relieved when he saw that Zhuang Rui didn't seem to be angry with him. He had been hooking up with a young woman from the gym these days, and he was about to get involved. If he was driven back to Pengcheng, Monkey would have thought of committing suicide.
"Specializes in antique swords?"
Zhuang Rui stood firm. There are good things in these things, but they are mostly found abroad. The emperor and generals in those days carried swords and knives, but they were all taken away by those foreign devils. But no matter what you look at, there are people on both sides with nothing to do.
As for the matter, he immediately said: "Let's go for a walk..."
"Hey, I'll lead the way..."
The monkey made a funny pose, which made the tourists next to him laugh. Zhuang Rui shook his head and followed.
"Toujianzhai? This name is a bit interesting..."
After crossing a street, the monkey took Zhuang Rui to the door of a shop, and then said to Zhuang Rui: "Brother Zhuang, that boss knows me. I haven't learned how to act stupid. Don't cause trouble to you. You can do it yourself."
go in……"
"Haha, okay, you kid, just keep wandering around, I'll go back to the store..."
Zhuang Rui was amused by the monkey. There is a kind of person in this world who can make people laugh even if he speaks or not. According to Zhuang Rui's idea, if the monkey can attend the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, he might become a
Comedy stars are so good at comedy.
After looking up at the plaque on the door again, Zhuang Rui walked into the store. This plaque was also written by a domestic calligrapher, but it was sharp and murderous, making people feel timid at first glance.
However, it is in line with the artistic conception of this store. Swords are witnesses of bloody wars and conflicts during the cold weapon period at home and abroad. It can be said that every antique sword is a historical record engraved on metal.
Even though the two iron bars he was holding were inconspicuous objects, they might have been blood-soaked murder weapons in the hands of a certain general hundreds of years ago or the year before last.
After walking into the store, Zhuang Rui found that there were not many customers in the store, only two or three people, who were looking at the objects placed on the sword racks, followed by a boss-like person who was making introductions.
"Sir, please take a look..."
When the boss saw the shape of the object wrapped in newspaper in Zhuang Rui's hand, his eyes lit up and he quickly came up to say hello. From the shape of the object in Zhuang Rui's hand, it could be seen that it was definitely a sword.
"Boss, my store has everything from bronze weapons from the Western Zhou Dynasty to Qin and Han dynasties, to antique swords from the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties. As long as you are interested, I can get you whatever you need, and I guarantee that it is the real thing.
…”
When the boss said this, his voice was very low, he glanced left and right, and then said: "I have channels that specialize in this, and I can guarantee that these things are absolutely true..."
"Well, let me take a look first. Boss, you are busy first..."
Zhuang Rui nodded noncommittally, his eyes focused on the swords placed in the rows of shelves.
"Okay, if you like it, just tell me. I think you are also an expert. To tell you the truth, the items on this half of the shelf are all real objects, and the ones on this side are some antique swords, regardless of the quality.
The good relationship is all fake..."
The boss looked quite down-to-earth, which made Zhuang Rui have a good impression of him. After visiting so many antique shops, this was the first person to say that there were fake things in his store. Some other stores wanted to say that there were fakes in their store.
All the gadgets were moved from the Forbidden City.
Zhuang Rui didn't know much about miscellaneous items such as swords, but he still knew the most basic knowledge. The forging methods of ancient swords were all made by hand. Although the craftsmanship was extremely exquisite, some craftsmanship could not even be imitated today.
However, due to the limitations of the material of swords, they are all made of copper and iron, and there are no anti-corrosion measures. After thousands of years, there will definitely be copper rust, even the famous swords such as Longquan, Tai'a, and Yuchang that have been passed down through the ages.
, is no exception.
Zhuang Rui first started with the imitation swords the boss mentioned. Sure enough, although those swords were simple in shape and bright enough to be discerned, if you look carefully, you can find many traces of modern craftsmanship. Although Zhuang Rui is an outsider in these things, he can still be more or less familiar with them.
I can see some clues.
"The boss of this store is a kind person..."
After identifying them with his spiritual energy, Zhuang Rui gave the boss a comment and turned to look at the shelves that the shop owner said were antique swords.
The swords on the shelves in the rows on the left are obviously not that bright, and many of the swords have heavy rust stains. At a glance, it seems that the sounds of battlefield battles thousands of years ago are ringing in your ears.
