The surprise in Li Yang's eyes flashed away, and he quickly regained his composure.
A happy smile slowly appeared at the corner of Li Yang's mouth. It was an unexpected surprise to meet this treasure here. At least this trip to Canada was not in vain.
Two more customers came in just now, which made the store seem a lot more lively. The feeling of more than ten customers was completely different from just two or three customers.
Li Yang looked back and saw a service staff standing not far in front of them. This service staff was introducing new customers and occasionally glanced at Li Yang and the others.
Lin Bowen came forward, stood on the other side of Li Yang, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Li, do you have any treasures you like?"
Li Yang turned around, raised the corner of his mouth even higher, and said: "It's not bad, I should be able to gain something!"
While talking, Li Yang looked at the lower left corner of the counter in front of him. There was a pile of inkstones there, all piled together, and they were not very conspicuous in the corner.
A large part of this pile of inkstones are modern imitations, but there are also a small number of genuine ancient inkstones from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
These inkstones, both modern and ancient, have a common characteristic. Each inkstone is incomplete, either incomplete or damaged. Ancient inkstones emphasize completeness, and the value of incomplete ancient inkstones will naturally not be too high.
"Brother Li, it's cloudy!"
Liu Gang suddenly walked over and whispered. Li Yang, Wang Jiajia and Lin Bowen all looked outside the store. The sky outside was indeed getting darker.
Looking at the gloomy weather, you can tell that it is very likely to rain today.
Fortunately, it is not summer now, and the rain will not fall at any time. It will probably take a while before it falls. After Li Yang saw the sky outside, he no longer hesitated and immediately waved the waiter over.
"Sir, do I need something?"
This service staff was about thirty years old and looked relatively young, but he looked a bit older than Li Yang and others.
Li Yang pointed to the things in the corner and said, "Can you take out these inkstones for me to take a look at?" The location of these inkstones was very inconspicuous. When the service staff saw what Li Yang pointed to, his face turned slightly.
Somewhat disappointed.
Although Li Yang and the others are young, they have an extraordinary bearing and are well dressed. They look like wealthy key customers, but I didn't expect them to take a fancy to these defective products.
The service staff was not very interested, but he still took out everything. It could be seen from his unconcealed expression that his service was completely inferior to that of the older man who had just entered the store.
The inkstone was put out, and Li Yang's eyes flashed again. He stopped thinking about the waiter and immediately started rummaging around inside.
After a while, Li Yang turned out the ancient inkstone, which had an inconspicuous piece at the bottom and two missing pieces. The ancient inkstone was covered in dust. He didn’t know how long it had been there.
Looking at Fang Gu Yan, Li Yang's face showed excitement again, and there was also a deep sense of regret, a very contradictory look.
"How much does this square inkstone cost?" Li Yang asked softly, holding up the ancient inkstone in his hand.
This ancient inkstone is not only damaged, but also incomplete. Although it has a certain age, unfortunately it is too damaged and its value is not high. Foreign collectors pursue the perfection of items even more seriously than domestic ones.
"Three hundred!" the waiter said softly, and then added: "This is an ancient inkstone from the Ming Dynasty, so although it is seriously damaged, it still has a certain value. If you are traveling, you can buy this ancient inkstone back."
You will definitely not suffer any loss!”
Three hundred Canadian dollars, less than two thousand yuan, this price is indeed not high. Inkstones like this in China also cost this price. After all, this is a genuine ancient inkstone from the Ming Dynasty, and the workmanship is still very sophisticated.
"Okay, I want it!"
Li Yang took out his wallet. There were a few Canadian dollars in the wallet that he had exchanged before, just for pocket money.
Before Li Yang took out the Canadian dollars he had exchanged before, Lin Bowen on the side had already taken out the banknotes.
"Mr. Li, just let me do this little thing!"
Lin Bowen directly handed over the money and grinned at Li Yang. The value of this thing was really not high. In his opinion, Li Yang should not be allowed to pay for this small amount of money.
But then again, Lin Bowen would rush to pay for something worth 30,000 Canadian dollars, let alone 300. Making good friends with Li Yang was his top priority.
"Mr. Lin, I appreciate your kindness. I'd better pay for it myself!"
Li Yang smiled, pulled Lin Bowen's hand back, took out another three hundred yuan from his wallet and handed it over. The service staff looked at them curiously, and then took Li Yang's money to issue the invoice.
.
"Oh well!"
Lin Bowen was stunned for a moment, and then he put away a few bills. He didn't understand Li Yang's character, and this was another three hundred Canadian dollars worth of cheap stuff, so he stopped rushing to pay the bill.
The invoicing went very quickly. After a while, the service staff came over with an invoice typed out by a computer and a delicate box. The ancient inkstone was very worn, but he still carefully packaged it and put it in the box. This kind of
The attitude is still commendable.
"Boss, what did you just buy?"
As soon as Li Yang put away the box, Li Can and Liu Jun came back. Liu Jun was holding a rectangular box in his hand. At first glance, he knew it was for paintings. At this moment, Liu Jun also bought something.
"Nothing, just an inconspicuous ancient inkstone!"
Li Yang chuckled. He got this Fang Ancient Inkstone, which made him feel extremely happy. If Li Yang read it correctly, this Fang Ancient Inkstone has a great background and is worth a lot of money. He picked it up again and missed it this time.
"Xiaojun bought ancient paintings, you bought ancient inkstones, and I have nothing!" Li Can spread his hands and said with complaint.
Liu Jun immediately knocked Li Can on the head and said loudly: "You didn't buy Liu Du's painting just now because you thought it was expensive, and now you have the nerve to complain here?"
"The price they charge is too high. I have to pay tax when I take it back. If you want such a painting, why not buy it from us? You might be able to buy it at Zhengzhou Antique City, and the price is much cheaper!"
Li Can chuckled. Li Can also has a good talent in antique appraisal, otherwise his uncle would not trust him to hand over an antique shop to him. Unfortunately, Li Can knows a lot, and he does not really like collecting. There are many
He only looks at the economic value of things.
Just like the things here, he would never buy them just for collection, he would only take them back if they can make money.
Li Yang also chuckled and shook his head. On the other side, Mr. Mao and Bai Ming also walked towards this side.
Both of them were holding something in their hands. Bai Ming was holding a box as big as a cake, with a satisfied smile on his face. It seemed that he had gained a good harvest.
Mao Lao's box is smaller and can be held with one hand. It looks more like a boutique box.
"Brother Li, how was the harvest?"
Before they even got close, Bai Ming shouted at the top of his lungs, and the staff member in his forties or fifties who had brought them in the first place also came over and looked at them with a smile.
"Not bad, big harvest!"
Li Yang raised the box and said with a smile, this time it was indeed a big harvest for Li Yang, and he did not hide his happiness at all.
"Is it really a big gain?"
Bai Ming was stunned for a moment, but his eyes lit up. He walked quickly to Li Yang and wanted to take the box from Li Yang's hand.
Li Yang suddenly took the box aside and handed it to Liu Gang. He chuckled and said, "Don't worry, what did you buy?"
Bai Ming was holding a big box in his hand. He looked at Li Yang blankly, and then at the box in Liu Gang's hand. He was an impatient man, and the more Li Yang refused to let him see it, the more anxious he became.
"Brother Li, when did you learn how to tell the truth? Don't look at the many things I bought. They are all worthless items. The small piece from Mr. Mao is much more expensive than mine. Please tell me quickly. This box of yours
What’s inside?”
Bai Ming shouted, but did not grab anything from Liu Gang's hand. He had known Li Yang for a long time and knew that Liu Gang seemed to be a gentle and gentle man, but he had extraordinary skills.
Moreover, Bai Ming also vaguely knew something about Liu Gang's identity.
When Mr. Mao heard Bai Ming talking about himself, he smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said softly: "What you bought are just pieces of porcelain. This is real folk kiln porcelain from the Hongzhi period. It is a whole piece. Can this be compared?"
Li Yang looked at Bai Ming, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
The museum opened by Bai Ming is the Porcelain Museum, which exhibits porcelain shards from various periods, so whenever Bai Ming travels on business, he will collect these things wherever he goes.
Porcelain tiles are cheap, but they can't be bought in large quantities. Bai Ming has spent a lot of money collecting these porcelain tiles over the years. From the whole country, no one has more porcelain tiles than Bai Ming.
As for Mao Lao, he really loves porcelain and is not very interested in porcelain pieces. The value of porcelain in the Hongzhi Dynasty is not low. Even if it is from a private kiln, as long as the whole vessel has a certain value, naturally it cannot be achieved by porcelain pieces.
Comparable.
In fact, this is also true. Mao Lao's porcelain cost 20,000 Canadian dollars, and the RMB is more than 100,000 yuan. The total of Bai Ming's porcelain pieces is less than 2,000 Canadian dollars. There is a difference of more than ten dollars between the two.
times.
"Hehe, you all know that this is all I want to say. Brother Li, we have already said it. It's time for you to let us know what your big gain is, right?"
Bai Ming shouted, with a very anxious look on his face, which made Li Yang and Mr. Mao laugh again.
Bai Ming's impatience probably won't change in his lifetime.
"My big harvest this time is Fang Gu Inkstone. This Fang Gu Inkstone is very good. I will show it to you when I get back!"
Li Yang pointed to the box in Liu Gang's hand, and there was some pride on his face when he spoke.
Recalling the three-dimensional picture, the unyielding unicorn carvings and the dazzling Venus patterns that appeared under the dust of this ancient inkstone, the smile at the corner of Li Yang's mouth became thicker and thicker.
Hearing Li Yang's words, Bai Ming's eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted anxiously: "Ancient inkstone, what kind of ancient inkstone is it? Can you let us take a look first?"
Li Yang smiled and waved his hand, then pointed outside the door. At this time, the sky outside was getting darker and darker, and it was estimated that it would not take long for the rain to fall.
As soon as Li Yang's hand pointed outside, Bai Ming and Mao Lao also followed Li Yang's hand and looked outside. They were immediately stunned.
Someone hurriedly walked outside the door. After seeing them, his face immediately showed joy, and he quickly walked into Shufangzhai's store.
