Chapter 026 Ancient Books in the Miscellaneous Area
The air conditioning in the private room in Zuixian Building is very cold.
At this time, Gu Qingqing was in a very good mood.
She felt that it would be such a happy thing if the man opposite her could have breakfast, lunch, and dinner with her every day until the time gets older and the years end.
After continuing to happily eat two crab roe buns, Gu Qingqing took out a golden card from her handbag.
This is a VIP savings card of Dongjiang Commercial Bank, with a minimum deposit amount of 5 million yuan.
After Gu Qingqing flipped the card over to confirm that the card number was correct, under Shen Yu's curious gaze, he solemnly placed the card in front of him.
Shen Yu blinked first, and then asked vaguely: "For me?"
Gu Qingqing shook his head slightly: "It's not a gift, it's a loan. There are five million in this card, which is considered as the start-up capital I lent you to start your business.
"A man will be confident only when he has money. He will not have the regret of encountering a good thing first but missing it because he has no money to buy it. The password is my birthday, not the previous 19.
"By the way, brother Yu, don't say you forgot my birthday. If so, you won't be able to withdraw a penny."
Shen Yu swallowed the food in his mouth and sighed softly: "Qingqing, thank you, thank you for trusting me so much.
"I won't say it if I'm too grateful. I will always remember your kindness to me, but I can't ask for this card no matter what."
Gu Qingqing asked strangely: "Why can't you take it? I didn't give it to you for free. You have to pay me back after you earn it.
"No matter how rich my family is, the money does not come from strong winds. Do you want to pay back the money? There is no way."
Shen Yu first helped Gu Qingqing fill up the Coke, and then explained bit by bit, "Qingqing, have you ever thought about what my uncle and aunt would think of me if I took your money?
What do your three brothers think of me?
What would Mr. Gu even think of me?
How will I greet them when we meet in the future?
They will only think that I am a pretty boy who deceives girls, look down on me, ridicule me, and even hold a grudge against me..."
Gu Qingqing smiled: "What did I think it was? It turned out that you were worried about my family's feelings?
"Brother Yu, don't worry. I didn't get this money from my parents or brothers. It's all my own money. It's my annual dividend from Donggu Department Store.
"I own 6.5% of the shares of Donggu Department Store. Although I cannot transfer them at will, I can receive nearly 9 million in dividends every year. This money is completely at my own disposal.
"Whether I invest, buy luxury goods, or buy luxury cars and villas, no one else has anything to do with it.
"Because this was specially transferred to me by my grandfather. As long as Donggu Department Store is here, no one can take it away, including my father.
"Similarly, if they use the dividend money to help others or do various expenses, I have no control over it."
Shen Yu's heart warmed after hearing this.
He thought for a moment and reorganized the words in his mind before continuing to speak very calmly, "Qingqing, what I just said is just one point. The most important thing is that I am not short of money now.
"My "Lanting Ju" already has some repeat customers. I firmly believe that as long as I keep my mind on the business, I can definitely make this business bigger and stronger."
"But..."
Gu Qingqing was about to speak but was immediately interrupted by Shen Yu, "Don't you even have confidence in me? By the way, didn't you say that the elder still likes ancient jade books?
"Let's eat quickly. After we're full, I'll take you to the miscellaneous area of the flea market. Sometimes, there are more good items in the miscellaneous area than in the calligraphy and painting area and the Jade Street."
Shen Yu didn't want to get too entangled with Gu Qingqing on money issues, so he immediately changed the subject and stuffed his bank card back into Gu Qingqing's handbag.
"Brother Yu said that after asking for my money, he would lose face in front of my family. Doesn't this mean that he cares about his image in front of my family?
"What does this mean? It means that he cares about me. He did this for me. Otherwise, other money-loving pretty boys would have deceived me with some sweet words and vows of loyalty, and then turned around and took my money. We've been having a lot of fun." Gu Qingqing kept thinking about it.
When she and Shen Yu left the private room and walked towards the stairs, Gu Qingqing was still giggling. She leaned into Shen Yu's ear and whispered: "Brother Yu, I will keep this money for you first. When will you need it?" If you have the money, just tell me and I will transfer it to you right away.
"Also, the savings in my bank are more than ten times greater than the number on this card, which is enough for our lives."
Shen Yu looked around: "Be silent and don't reveal your wealth. Not all good people in this world are good people. If you are alone and encounter someone with evil intentions, you will be in trouble.
"If you're not afraid of thieves, you're afraid of being missed. Neither I, Mr. Gu, nor your uncle, nor your brothers, can protect you all the time.
"You are a senior this year and will graduate next year. You must know how to protect yourself."
"I know better brother."
Gu Qingqing pouted cutely, then folded her arms and held Shen Yu's arm.
Shen Yu shook his head helplessly, knowing that Gu Qingqing must not have listened to his words.
At this time, Shen Yu didn't know that he would almost lose his life in order to save Gu Qingqing. Of course, this is all a story later.
It was only when Shen Yu paid the bill that he learned from the lobby manager that all the money for his meal had been charged to Mr. Li Hanlin's account.
Shen Yu nodded to show that he knew and didn't have to pay for it himself.
However, Shen Yu also made a decision in his heart. When the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, he must send something good to his old man. Mr. Li really has nothing to say to himself. Many times, words of thanks alone cannot repay this kindness.
After leaving the gate of Zuixian Tower, the sun was still blazing outside, and even the air was scorching hot.
Shen Yu had already asked the waiter to call a taxi and wait at the door.
This is a Volkswagen Jetta taxi with an average interior and very good air conditioning. Once inside, you feel completely isolated from the heat outside.
After giving the waiter 20 yuan for his hard work, Shen Yu said politely to the driver: "Master, go to the flea market. By the way, not the archway, please drive directly to the street stall area."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
There are three time periods for entry into the flea market, namely 5 a.m. to 8 a.m., 11 a.m. to 14 p.m., and 20 p.m. to 22 p.m., but one thing is that only taxis can enter and exit.
This is to better facilitate foreign tourists, because many antique collectors are not too young, so they can easily go to any antique shop in the flea market.
The driver also spoke very politely: "Okay sir, there are a lot of cars on the road now. It will take about twelve or three minutes to get there. You can close your eyes and take a nap after you have just finished eating."
"Don't worry, just drive slowly." Shen Yu replied softly, leaning back on the seat.
"Brother Yu, drink water."
Gu Qingqing, who was sitting in the back seat of the taxi with Shen Yu, opened a bottle of mineral water for Shen Yu. Shen Yu took it and took a sip, "Qingqing, are you tired? Do you want to find someone first..., oh, yes. Don’t you want to go back to the store to rest for a while?”
In fact, what Shen Yu wanted to ask just now was whether he wanted to find a star hotel for a lunch break, but as he was about to say the words, he realized that Gu Qingqing was a girl, so he went to a store instead.
Gu Qingqing shook her head, "I've only been shopping for more than an hour, so I'm not tired at all. You know, my best friend and I spend a whole day shopping."
Shen Yu immediately gave up, smiled in admiration and continued to drink water.
Gu Qingqing was very interested in continuing to visit the flea market with Shen Yu, and even started to ask Shen Yu some things about the antique shop, "Brother Yu, buying counterfeit goods as genuine is called 'eye-catching'. You know, what should I do if I want to return the goods after drilling? Also, the seller sold the good things at a cheap price, can I get them back?"
Shen Yu smiled: "The rule in the antique shop is that buyers have to admit it no matter how much money they lose. The seller does not guarantee refunds or exchanges.
"To put it simply, you bought a counterfeit because you didn't have enough vision. I didn't force you to buy it, so you will definitely not be refunded or exchanged.
"And if the seller fails to recognize that the items in his stall or store are genuine because of his lack of knowledge, and is bought by the buyer at a very low price, the seller is called 'leaking treasure', and the buyer is called 'leaking treasure' Pick up leaks'.
"No matter how much money the seller loses, he will eventually have to pay for it himself. He must not go to the buyer to ask for it back. Of course, he can't get it back. The other party is happy to find out the loss, so how can he return it to you?
"In the antiques circle, a soft-hearted person will not be able to earn a living. No one will give you back because they pity you. The result of this is that the antiques will not come back, and in the end they will become notorious as a deadbeat and without credibility.
"So the rules of antique shop trading can be summed up as follows: you will recognize it with your own eyes, and you will not regret it if you miss it."
Gu Qingqing held her chin and thought for a while: "So, antiques trading depends entirely on the vision of the buyer and the seller, which is very fair! But why do so many people go to court after buying fake antiques and feeling deceived?" < /p>
Shen Yu thought for a moment, "There is a premise for a buyer to be discerning, that is, the seller does not know that the antique is a fake. Of course, many people use fakes as genuine and sell them, but you can't do anything about them.
"But one thing is that at least this antique was not made by himself. If it is faked and passed off as genuine, it will still be severely punished by the law."
"Fake it to be true?" Gu Qingqing's eyes, which had been staring at Shen Yu, suddenly showed a hint of curiosity.
"Yes, suppose you open an ancient jade shop, Qingqing, and someone comes to your shop and asks for an old jade pendant from the Qing Dynasty. However, you clearly don't have this thing in your shop, but you still want to make money.
"Finally, you find a piece of aventurine or jasper water foam, carefully carve it and make it old, then treat it as real jade and sell it to someone at a high price.
"Afterwards, people find out that they have been deceived and sue you in court. Even if you use the rules that you recognize at first glance, it will not stand. The law will definitely severely punish such people who make false claims and break the law.
“Sellers who make counterfeit goods and sell them as if they are genuine are obviously fraud. Any so-called antique regulations are in vain as long as they conflict with the law.
"So the seniors who have been dealing with antiques all their lives all talk about the word 'faith', honesty and credit.
"Of course, things like game planning and routines can be big or small, and it depends on who happens to them.
"For example, small items on street stalls range from a few tens of yuan for a few dollars to a few hundred or even a thousand dollars for the more expensive ones. Generally, buyers will admit their losses when they see them, and they will be embarrassed to come back to look for them, because this is equivalent to admitting that they have lost their money. Not enough eyesight.
"But when the price reaches tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions, if the seller is still willing to sell fake products, he is walking a tightrope.
"Any buyer who can spend hundreds of thousands is not a good person. If you cheat him, it's impossible to sit back and relax. Therefore, the most important thing for me in the antique business is that I don't lie to others, but I don't allow others to lie to me." ."
……
The taxi arrived at the stall area of the flea market as Shen Yu said.
This time Shen Yu brought Gu Qingqing to the miscellaneous area.
The miscellaneous items area is the most interesting in the street stall area. What is sold here is not only miscellaneous items in the antique category, such as bamboo and wood utensils, inkstones, jades, lacquerware, bronze mirrors, gold and silverware, purple clay pots, snuff bottles, etc.
Instead, they sell everything, including calligraphy, paintings, ceramics, jade and jade, and various cultural toys and beads.
After taking a quick look at the three stalls, when he came to the fourth stall, a ball of green light suddenly appeared in Shen Yu's sight.
Shen Yu keenly discovered that the Baoguang that appeared this time had some changes. The color was much lighter than the dark cyan of the ancient inkstones of the Ming Dynasty, and was light cyan.
"Strange, I just glanced at it, why did the precious light appear? Is it possible that there are still many special abilities of my eyes that have not been discovered?"
Since the Baoguang appeared, he couldn't miss it. Shen Yu glanced at the place where the Baoguang appeared as if nothing had happened.
It was a pile of thread-bound books, probably hundreds of them.
They were not stacked neatly, but piled up in a chaotic manner like a scrap recycling bin. This caused Shen Yu to not be able to tell which ancient book emitted the precious light for a while.
