In the early 1980s, in the Panjiayuan Flea Market at No. 18 Warwick Lane, Xiangyang District, the capital of China, Suning looked at the crowds of people coming and going, but Suning had a look of despair. Gou Ri's system had thrown him into the trap again.
new world.
[Ding! The host is now in the world of "Ghost Blowing Lamp"]
"Fuck!"
Suning had long been accustomed to the willfulness and uncertainty of the system, and with the mentality of taking things as they come, she started shopping in this flea market.
Looking at the familiar architectural style and crowd style in front of him, Suning is actually very familiar with it. This famous Panjiayuan flea market is actually a gathering place for fakes. It is almost difficult to make a fortune by picking up items here.
Paying attention to the street stalls on both sides of the street, almost all of them were distressed handicrafts. With Suning's current vision and experience, he really couldn't be bothered to stop. The old-fashioned methods were really too rough.
Walking to a fork in the flea market, Suning clearly saw that there was a greater flow of people here. There was a notice posted on an antique store in the southwest corner. Seeing what was written on the notice, Suning walked directly to the antique store.
Got in.
"Sir, let's see if there is anyone you like?" The boss greeted Suning feebly.
"Well, I'll just take a look."
"Haha, sir, please do whatever you want." The boss said casually and returned to the counter to sort out something.
After walking around for a while, Suning saw that the antiques in the antique shop were all old handicrafts. There were no decent items at all. They must have been put away by the boss.
"Boss, how big is your store?"
"Oh? Sir, do you have an idea?" The boss looked up at Suning in surprise.
"Well, boss, please tell me first."
"Sir, the two floors upstairs and downstairs are 360 square meters in total, and there is a 200 square meters yard and five houses in the back."
"Boss, how much are you going to charge?"
"Two hundred thousand for vacant rooms and two hundred and eighty thousand for goods."
"Boss, your price is too high, isn't it?" Suning looked at the boss in surprise, trying to negotiate a bargain, "An ordinary courtyard house only costs more than 10,000 yuan, but your price is twenty times higher."
"Sir, that's not how you calculate the bill. This is a store in Panjiayuan Market. If our family hadn't immigrated, we wouldn't be willing to sell it." Of course the boss saw that Suning wanted to bargain, and then shook his head disapprovingly.
"I don't want any of these goods, just take them all away." Suning really didn't know what to say when he heard that this person was another idiot who thought the moon in foreign countries was round, "I'll give you 180,000, if you can."
, we can trade immediately.”
"180,000?"
The boss lowered his head and thought about it carefully. He had posted this notice for a long time, but the transaction was not successful because the price was too high. Today he finally met a "good guy", and of course the boss didn't want to let it go easily.
"Hey, sir, what's your surname?"
"My surname is Su."
"Mr. Su, do you think you can give me some more?"
"Boss, I am not a person who likes to argue. If you agree to this price, we will go to the street and police station to handle the transfer of ownership now."
"This..." The boss saw that Suning was unwilling to increase the price, and then said with gritted teeth, "Okay! It's only 180,000."
The Beijing Housing Management Office would not be established until 1989, so now you still have to go to the streets and police stations to trade real estate. When Suning and the boss came out of the streets and police stations, the boss was surprised and held 180,000 old-style RMB, and Suning officially became a
The owner of this shop.
"Mr. Su, if you come to take over the house at noon tomorrow, I will definitely hand over the house to you." The boss looked at Suning in front of him in surprise.
"Okay! See you tomorrow at noon."
...
Suning stayed one night in a hotel near Panjiayuan, and then came to the store again at noon the next day. By this time, the original owner had vacated the store.
Many of Panjiayuan's peers stopped curiously, wondering which "Kaizi" bought this store. You must know that the asking price of this store is not something that ordinary people can afford.
"Boss Yuan, how big a Kaizi have you met?" A middle-aged man with gold teeth looked at Boss Yuan with a sly expression.
"Big gold tooth! Don't talk nonsense, the price I offer is fair and square."
"Boss Yuan, we are all old people from Panjiayuan. Stop fooling people. Who doesn't know who is who?" Da Jinya retorted nonchalantly.
"Big Jinya, I know you've been eyeing my store for a long time, but you're just too eager to make a bid. Why aren't you interested in having another sponsor buy it?"
"Haha, the market is so bad now, I don't know how long the new boss can last?" Seeing that the original boss exposed his thoughts, Da Jinya was not embarrassed, but said sarcastically.
At this time, Suning walked up slowly and looked at Boss Yuan who was arguing with Da Jinya in front of him, "Boss Yuan, is the house vacated?"
"Haha, Mr. Su, everything has been vacated." Boss Yuan smiled immediately when he saw Suning, then handed over a bunch of keys and said, "This is the key to the store."
"Well, thank you." Suning took the key and walked into the store.
"Mr. Su, if nothing happens, I will leave first."
"Well, Boss Yuan, please take away your signboard too!" Suning said, pointing to the signboard still hanging on the door.
"Ah? Hehe, I almost forgot." Boss Yuan quickly took out a ladder and took down his sign.
Seeing that the original boss left Panjiayuan with his own brand, and seeing that the new boss was just a young man, the Panjiayuan merchants who were watching the excitement turned and left. After all, their own business is the most important.
Da Jinya also looked at Suning in the crowd, and then left with everyone. He just thought that the store he was interested in was unexpectedly visited by Suning who appeared inexplicably. Da Jinya himself was very unhappy.
Thinking that Suning did not accept Boss Yuan's used goods, he knew that Suning would purchase goods from other places. At this time, Da Jinya thought of a bad idea and said hello to the suppliers here in Panjiayuan. Don't sell to this person yet.
The newcomer Suning finally raised the price of the goods, which also caused the newcomer Suning to suffer a hidden loss.
Suning spent 20 yuan to hire two people and asked them to clean the entire store. This made Suning feel much more pleasing to the eye. First, he took out clean bedding and pots and pans from the space world, and placed them there.
With the bedroom and kitchen in the backyard, it's like you have your own new home.
...
Last night, Da Jinya hosted a banquet with many suppliers from Panjiayuan. After a good meal, they reached a verbal agreement not to supply supplies to the newly arrived Suning for the time being, so that he could see how deep the water was in Panjiayuan.
After a night of hangover, he woke up the next day with a splitting headache. Da Jinya got up in a daze and washed his face with ice-cold water. Only then did he feel much more awake.
Then I went to the breakfast shop on the street and bought two coke rings and a glass of bean juice. I ate the coke rings and drank the bean juice leisurely while heading towards my shop.
However, when passing the most popular four-way intersection, I saw the store in the southwest corner had a new sign. Looking at the name "Gu Boxuan" on it and the dazzling array of antiques in the store, Da Jinya was shocked.
It's messy, and the wine I drank last night was in vain.
Da Jinya hurriedly ran into the "Gu Boxuan". Da Jinya, who was still very angry at first, was stunned when he saw the exquisite antiques, because he didn't even own these goods.
I have seen that the suppliers of Panjiayuan do not have such good products at all.
Da Jinya picked up a Xuande stove next to him in surprise and looked at it carefully. With his knowledge and eyesight since childhood, he would have thought it was a genuine one if he didn't look carefully.
"Boss Jin, how do you think of my Xuande stove?" Suning smiled and walked towards Big Jinya.
"Eh? Boss Su, do you know me?" Da Jinya looked up at Suning in surprise.
"Haha, Mr. Jin from Panjiayuan is famous far and wide. Of course I, Suning, have heard about it."
"Boss Su, where did you get these things from?" Da Jinya looked at Suning with golden eyes.
"It was handed down from our ancestors." Suning was almost angry at the big golden tooth in front of him. He really regarded himself as a "Kaizi".
"Boss Su, please stop talking secretly in front of people, right?" Da Jinya didn't believe Suning's lies, and continued to pester him, "With such good goods, let's all make a fortune together!"
"Boss Jin, this is my business secret. Do you think I will tell others casually?" Suning looked at the big gold tooth with disdain.
"this......"
"Boss Jin, if you really like the items in my store, you can choose whatever you want and I'll give you a 20% discount."
"No need! It's better for you to fool around with these things!" Da Jinya put the Xuande stove on the shelf again, then turned around and left "Gu Boxuan".
Hearing Da Jinya's unintentional "sarcasm", Suning smiled disapprovingly. All the things in his shop were made old by modern craftsmanship. People who are not professionals in antiques will never be able to tell. This is also Da Jinya's.
He eagerly asked Suning for the reason.
These antiques in the shop are all handicrafts that I selected from the space world last night. They are much better than those tattered things from Boss Yuan. They are definitely top-notch high-imitation antiques. Not to mention fooling some foreigners, they are like big gold teeth.
Mainland experts can also cheat.
...
Thinking of the plot development of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", Suning suddenly felt that it was very exciting. This was a life that she had never experienced before. It would be quite interesting to go on an adventure with Hu Bayi and the others.
The antique shop didn't open for three years, and when it opened, it only had the magic business in the third year, so Suning leisurely set up camp in Panjiayuan and started his new life.
Suning put up a sign at the door to buy antiques at high prices and quietly waited for business to come. Now the antique industry in the mainland is still facing foreigners. Coupled with Panjiayuan's high popularity, many foreigners come to China to travel.
, you will definitely come to Panjiayuan to check in.
A middle-aged white couple walked into Suning's "Gu Boxuan". Suning greeted them with a smile and said in proficient English, "You two, welcome!"
"Oh! My God! Boss, you actually know English?" The white couple looked at Suning in surprise.
"Of course! I wonder if I can help you?"
"We want to buy some antiques to take back home. Could you introduce them to us?"
"Of course there's no problem, you can take your time and choose."
"Thank you!" the white couple said thank you, and then began to go shopping on their own.
Suning then walked into the backyard, brought out two cups of freshly brewed coffee from the kitchen, walked directly to the white couple and said, "You two, this is my freshly brewed coffee. You can drink it and watch it at the same time."
"Oh! Thank you." The white couple took the coffee in surprise.
"Well, boss, your coffee is really good." The white couple took a sip and then praised it with bright eyes.
"Haha, as long as you like it." Suning agreed casually, then looked at the two of them curiously, "I wonder if you want calligraphy and painting, porcelain, or jade?"
"The porcelain and calligraphy and painting are ready." The white couple looked at each other and then said to Suning.
"Then what do you think of this plum vase?" Suning casually picked up a porcelain vase placed in the center, and then introduced it to the white couple drinking coffee, "This is a Yuan blue and white, it's six or seven hundred years old.
, is an old object from the 11th year of the Yuan Dynasty, that is, 1351."
"Oh! This piece of porcelain is so perfect. It must be the treasure of your store, right?" The white couple couldn't help but praise it.
"Haha, it's not the treasure of the store, but it can still be regarded as the best product in my store."
"Boss, how much do you want to sell it to us?"
"Well, one hundred thousand dollars."
"Oh! My God! It's so expensive." The white couple were shocked.
"Haha, why don't you consider this Qing Dynasty imitation, which is actually very good." Suning ignored the two people's shock, but pointed to a plate next to him again and said, "This plate was imitated during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
Yes, it only costs ten thousand dollars."
"Ten thousand dollars?"
"Yes!"
"Isn't the imitation one not as valuable as the Yuan Dynasty one?"
“Actually, it’s very good, and it’s also a high-quality antique.”
"Boss, if we want this plum vase from the Yuan Dynasty, can we get a discount?"
"This..." Suning lowered his head to consider with a look of embarrassment, then gritted his teeth and pointed to the plate next to him and said, "One hundred thousand dollars is already the lowest price. If you add another two thousand dollars, I will clear it."
I will also sell you imitation plates."
"One hundred and two thousand dollars?"
"Yes."
"Boss, are you sure it's authentic?" The white couple became excited.
"certainly!"
"Okay! Let's make a deal." The white couple was also very happy.
Of course, it was impossible for the white couple to agree to buy based on Suning's few words. In fact, because they were also experts in this field, they did not bring any translators with them and did not believe that anyone could deceive them.
The Yuan blue and white plum vase in front of them, whether it is the glaze color or the inscription, is almost exactly the same as the Yuan blue and white in their impression. In fact, the white couple took a fancy to this plum vase at the first sight when they entered the store.
Suning didn't just talk nonsense, but as soon as the two of them entered the store, he noticed that they were very interested in the plum vase in the center of the store, so he introduced them in detail.
Suning does not believe that foreigners can detect these imitations in its own store, and it is difficult to detect those so-called high-tech products. This is Suning's confidence in its own space world.
