As early as in the hotel, Bai Ming had prepared some euro change in advance. He himself had tens of thousands of euros with him, and Xiao Yan had hundreds of euros with him.
At this time, Xiao Yan directly took out fifty euros and handed it to the seller. This white-glazed bottle from the Republic of China period became his property.
After paying the money and taking the bottle, Xiao Yan immediately held the bottle in his arms and looked at it fondly.
There was also strong joy and excitement on his face.
This is the first time he has picked up a small leak with his own eyesight. However, such small leaks are actually very common abroad. Some foreign businessmen do not understand the prices of domestic items, so they lower their prices when bidding.
Also, the price of food sold abroad is not higher, so it is lower than at home.
However, this bottle should be in the former situation. Xiao Yan really picked up a small leak. No wonder he was so happy and excited.
This is the second time he missed something, the first time was the dragon pendant, but that was purely luck, unlike this time, it was a harvest he really relied on his own eyesight.
Although the harvest is only a few thousand dollars, the feeling is completely different.
Xiao Yan bought a bottle, which immediately stirred up everyone's atmosphere. Even Li Yang became interested in this lively small market. There are not only Chinese antiques here, but also many foreign works of art.
It’s just that most of these artworks are currently handicrafts.
Several people walked forward together. Xiao Yan took the bottle and looked at the things here more carefully. He also thought about whether he could sell two more treasures at a low price and show them off when he returned.
After wandering around for a while, they found a few nice old objects.
Among them is a civilian incense burner from the Jiaqing period. It is very well-made and well-preserved. Such an incense burner costs about 50,000 to 60,000 yuan in China.
It's a pity that this shop owner was a big talker and asked for 30,000 euros. He was obviously planning to kill them as a scammer.
At this price, Bai Ming didn't even think about bargaining, he just turned around and left.
This kind of incense burner is not an important or difficult work of art. There are still many circulating in China. Unfortunately, this shop owner thought that if it was bronze, it must be a treasure. According to the price he asked, this thing would probably be in his hands.
It's been sitting there for a while.
The market is not big, and a few people transferred more than half of it in a short time.
Li Yang had an oil painting in his hands. It was the work of a painter from the Renaissance. The painter was not particularly famous, but he was a good painter and the painting also had a certain value.
The painting was bought for 5,000 euros. I guess the shop owner misjudged the age of the painting. A real ancient painting from the Renaissance, even if it was not a famous painter, would definitely not be priced at this price.
Li Yang estimated in his own mind that the real value of this painting was at least fifty thousand euros, and it might be even higher, which was a good tip for him.
After getting a small leak, Li Yang was in a good mood, and he and Bai Ming had a good time shopping in this small market.
"Fuxingzhai!"
Xiao Yan suddenly called out softly, and several people followed his gaze and looked forward.
Not far ahead, there was a small shop with a rare sign in Chinese characters. This was the first shop with a sign in Chinese characters that they had encountered.
"Let's go over and have a look!"
Bai Ming waved his hand. He remembered that there was no such shop the last time he came here. It seemed that it had been newly opened in the past few years. This also proved that Chinese antiques were indeed becoming more and more popular.
There are several customers standing at the entrance of Fuxingzhai. There are small shops here, which are really like a vegetable market. Customers can only stand outside the store to select goods and cannot go in.
Although the market is small, there are not many things, and there are also some good items. This market is similar to what Bai Ming said. It is suitable for people who like Taobao, especially small items.
As soon as Li Yang and others gathered around, the small store was immediately filled with people, making it seem a bit crowded.
Several of the guests who were there looked at Li Yang and the others unhappily, as they were looking through a piece of porcelain.
This shop mainly sells porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, all of which are Chinese. There were two people standing in the shop, a man and a woman, both in their thirties and with yellow skin. You could tell at a glance that they were Chinese.
"You are such a bad thing!"
The guest next to Li Yang and the others was holding a piece of porcelain in his hand, shaking his head vigorously and talking loudly.
What he spoke turned out to be Chinese. Unfortunately, the Chinese language was very blunt and he jumped out word by word. Once he heard it, it was clear that he was definitely not Chinese.
"***people!"
Bai Ming's expression changed slightly and he whispered.
Bai Ming didn't pay much attention to them just now. After the man spoke, Bai Ming attracted Bai Ming's attention. After taking a closer look, Bai Ming immediately discovered that these were all Japanese.
Bai Ming has had a lot of dealings with Japanese people and knows some of their habits.
Li Yang, Xiao Yan and Liu Gang couldn't help but lean aside. After returning from Canada, Li Yang was very indifferent to Japanese people, let alone Liu Gang.
As for Xiao Yan, he was from Nanjing and hated the Japanese even more.
"Mr. Matsumoto, you are also a regular customer. Although this plum vase is an imitation from the late Qing Dynasty, it is a very good imitation. It is definitely a fine product!"
The male shopkeeper glanced at Bai Ming and the others first, and asked the female shopkeeper next to him to greet them first, while he stood there and talked to the person outside with a smile.
His words also proved Bai Ming's guess that these people were really Japanese, and their names were the best evidence.
"It's fake, not the real thing!"
The *** man named Matsumoto didn't care and shook his head vigorously.
Li Yang turned around and took a closer look at the bottle in his hand, with a little surprise in his eyes. It was a small green-glazed pastel plum vase, and it was painted with a kind of chilong, with three upright claws.
dragon.
This kind of upright dragon is rare in China. Li Yang did not expect to encounter one here.
"Mr. Matsumoto, don't say anything casually. This is a treasure that came from formal channels!"
The male shopkeeper's face changed slightly, but his tone did not change, but his attitude was obviously different from before.
Anyone would be like this. In the antique business, it is very taboo for others to directly tell lies. If this *** person was not a regular customer, his attitude would be even worse.
"Formal channels, this is obviously fake, Long, how can it be like this?"
The Japanese man named Matsumoto raised his head and glanced at the shopkeeper, with a kind of contempt in his eyes. He took the bottle, pointed at the dragon standing on it, and said loudly.
This dragon is a bit weird. Generally, dragons in ancient times are flying or hovering. They are not upright like this. Standing there with four claws stretched out, it really looks strange.
The male shopkeeper's face turned even uglier. He looked at the dragon on the bottle but said nothing.
Bai Ming, who was communicating with the female shopkeeper on the side, also noticed the situation here. When he saw the plum vase, Bai Ming, like Li Yang, was a little surprised.
"You can't tell. There is no such thing. How dare you say it's not a fake?"
Seeing that the shop owner didn't respond, Matsumoto seemed even more proud. This time he spoke louder and in English. Many customers who were wandering around were attracted to him.
Foreigners, like Chinese, have a tendency to gossip and like to join in the fun.
"Matsumoto, I think you are a regular customer, that's why I let you do this. If there is no evidence, please don't talk nonsense!"
The shop owner was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of anger appeared on his face. He yelled like this, which was no different than smashing his sign.
For an antique store, being publicly accused of selling fake items as genuine items is the same as being found out for selling fake cigarettes and wine in some cigarette shops, which will cause great damage to the reputation.
This is a foreign country, where credibility is more important.
"My evidence is this dragon, something that doesn't exist at all. What do you have to say?"
Matsumoto, who was questioned by the shop owner, didn't pay attention at all and kept talking loudly.
As he spoke, there was a hint of revengeful pleasure in his eyes.
He is indeed a regular customer here. Last time he bought some calligraphy and paintings by Chinese celebrities worth 20,000 euros here, but when he bought them, he thought that these famous artists were dead and the things would increase in value.
Who knew that when he went back to check, he found out that these people were living well and that the value of these calligraphy and paintings had not increased much. However, relatively speaking, what he bought was not expensive and was at the normal market price.
It's a pity that he didn't want to. He had the intention of picking up the leaks, but when he found that he didn't pick up the leaks, his psychology was naturally unbalanced.
He wanted to return the things, but he was reluctant to do so. He also knew that the value of these calligraphy and paintings would increase in the future, so he deliberately came here today to cause a little trouble for the shop owner, just to vent his anger.
Fortunately, Li Yang and the others didn't know what this *** person was thinking. If they knew, they might not be able to help but beat them up here.
What kind of psychology is this? It's a typical way of hurting others at your own expense, taking revenge on others just because they didn't let you pick up the slack?
"This is not fake!"
The shopkeeper retorted loudly, his face slightly red because of his anger.
The thing he sold was not cheap, it was sold at the price of the real thing. If someone recognized it as fake right here, it would definitely have a great impact on him.
The shop owner himself doesn't know much. He is just the operator. There is another owner of this shop. He is the knowledgeable person, but he is responsible for harvesting outside and is not here today.
"It's not false. Can you explain my problem?"
Matsumoto said loudly again, and a lot of people gathered around, at least a dozen. Seeing so many people gathered here, some people were walking towards here.
The shop owner looked a little anxious, but he didn't know what to say. Asked him to explain, he really couldn't explain it.
"Friend, do you want to buy this thing or not?"
A voice suddenly rang out, and almost everyone looked at the owner of the voice. Li Yang was looking at the *** man with a smile. He was the one who spoke just now.
