ps: In the past few days, my mother has been hospitalized for high blood pressure! So I haven’t had time to write! I originally wanted to tell everyone, but Dongren’s mobile phone card is terrible, and I rarely use the mobile phone to access the Internet.
Can't get to the starting point!
I can only tell everyone from the computer when I come back, I'm sorry these days! The update will be restored to two updates! There will be three updates in time!
Chapter 1101 Yuzhen Pavilion
…
The group of three people walked through the streets and alleys, and soon they arrived in front of a two-story antique building. The house was dark and there was no light. Then the dim lights on the ghost market stalls next to it, and you could vaguely see the name 'Yuzhen Pavilion' on the plaque above.
'Three large gilded characters in regular script!
The font is straight and green, with a certain grace between the horizontal and vertical lines. It is obviously not made by ordinary people!
"Squeak!"
With a hoarse rubbing sound, Liu Dong retracted his eyes from looking at the fonts and turned to look inside the room!
"You two, please come in!"
After the first one went in and turned on the light in the room, Yang Baoyun said quickly.
After nodding, Liu Dong took Chen Bao and walked in.
Then Yang Baoyun quickly closed the door. Because there were thick curtains hanging around the windows, although the lights in the house were bright, they could not shine outside and would not affect the people setting up stalls in the ghost market, so there was no dispute.
!
After looking around, Liu Dong said: "Boss Yang, there are a lot of things here!"
"Haha, Mr. Liu has given you the award. If you want to say there are many good things, then my place is far inferior to the Chenxiang Pavilion in your name!" Although he was speaking modestly, Yang Baoyun still had a trace of complacency on his face.
.
Liu Dong saw this but didn't say anything.
Yang Baoyun is indeed proud. The first floor of his Yuzhen Pavilion alone is close to 200 square meters. I think the area on the second floor will not be much smaller than the first floor.
Let’s not talk about anything else. But being able to buy a house of this size in Panjiayuan Center, where land is extremely expensive, is not something that can be achieved with only one or two million.
Moreover, in addition to the valuable shop floor, the neatly arranged shelves on the first floor are filled with a variety of works of art. Ceramics, calligraphy and painting, ivory and rhinoceros horns, bronze lacquerware, jade treasures, and even newspapers and magazines, as well as foreign oil paintings
Sculptures, etc., really everything!
No wonder Chen Bao would be deceived here. With such a large store and thousands of works of art, anyone who is new to Panjiayuan and has a little money in his pocket will not miss it!
However, Liu Dong, who is now an insider, knows that it is not something ordinary people can do to find leaks in such an antique store, especially Panjiayuan!
Being able to survive in the country's largest antique market, which is a mixed bag of good and bad, and also be able to support such a large antique store, as the owner, Yang Baoyun does not have extraordinary appraisal skills and survival means, it is simply impossible.
"Mr. Liu, it's too late now and no one in the store is here. You stay here for a moment. I'll make you some tea!"
"Boss Yang, don't be busy now, let's take out the things and take a look first. Otherwise, I'll waste my time in the ghost market!" Liu Dong said after stopping the other party.
"Okay, I'm going to get something right now. Could you please go to the second floor and wait a moment? There are too many things on this floor, so it's not a place to entertain guests!" Yang Baoyun said.
"You don't have to go to the second floor, this floor is just fine. It just so happens that I can see Boss Yang's full collection!"
"Okay, you two, please take care of me. I'll come as soon as I go!" After a slight hesitation, Yang Baoyun finished speaking and turned around and went up to the second floor!
As the owner of Yuzhen Pavilion, there is nothing in this store that has not passed through his hands, and all the good things have been picked out long ago!
The rest are almost all fakes!
Of course, even if they are fakes, many of them are worth thousands or eight hundred dollars, and they are still valuable works of art in the eyes of ordinary people. But based on his understanding of Liu Dong, these things are difficult to detect by the other party. Therefore, he can rest assured.
Liu Dong and Liu Dong were alone in his shop.
As for Chen Bao, based on Yang Baoyun's experience, it was natural to tell from his dress and conversation that he was either rich or noble and would not covet the gadgets in his store, so he didn't say much before leaving.
"Brother Dong, this guy is glib and talks in one way. We have to look carefully later and don't let him lie to him again!" After Yang Baoyun left, Chen Bao was still upset.
said immediately.
"Don't worry, with his ability he can't deceive me!"
After saying that, after looking at Chen Bao who was angry, Liu Dong smiled and said: "Xiaobao, do you want to make back the money he deceived you?"
"Earn it back? What do you mean?" Chen Bao said in shock.
"What do you mean? Of course I mean to pick something up from him!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"Picking up leaks!!"
"Keep your voice down!" Liu Dongyi frowned.
After hearing this and reacting, Chen Bao, who immediately lowered his voice, hurriedly approached Liu Dong with a rather cunning look.
"Brother Dong, is it really possible to pick up leaks here?" Chen Bao asked in a low voice.
Although he had already seen Liu Dong's miraculous ability to pick up missing treasures when he was in the UK, he had only been in this store for a few minutes and hadn't looked at anything on the shelf yet. How could it be like this?
Is it easy to pick up big leaks?
Seeing the confusion on his face, Liu Dong didn't explain much, "Follow me!"
Seeing Liu Dong turn around and walk towards the shelf next to him, Chen Bao quickly followed him despite his doubts.
Then, Liu Dong walked along the aisle between the shelves to the southeast corner of the room, and came to an iron shelf placed against the wall.
Then Chen Bao saw that Liu Dong did not touch the dazzling array of jades placed on the iron shelf, but squatted down and took out a plastic bucket from the corner of the bottom shelf.
Out of curiosity, Chen Bao checked his head and took a look, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face!
I saw that in this plastic bucket, which was no more than a foot high, there were jade articles of various sizes, covered with dirt and dust, piled up in a messy manner.
There are common jade rings, jade pendants, and jade pendants, as well as slightly more complicated jade dragons, jade tigers, etc.!
But compared to the gleaming or antique jade on the shelf, the jade in these barrels is much different in appearance. Many are even obviously broken.
"Brother Dong. Are there any valuable things in here?" Chen Bao asked in surprise.
"Of course! Antiques. Antiques, things that can be called antiques, although they are not necessarily broken, they must be some years old. And when things exist for a long time, they will inevitably get a little dust, so there is nothing to make a fuss about!"
After saying this, Liu Dong pulled his right hand twice in the bucket, and soon he looked happy. When he took his hand out of the bucket, a curved jade article appeared in his palm.
Chen Bao was curious and couldn't help but take a closer look!
I saw that the jade was no more than ** centimeters long and no more than two centimeters wide. However, there were shallow rhombus patterns on the body of the jade, extending to both ends of the jade. The patterns looked more subtle. Under the undulating lines, it looked like an animal head.
!It’s just that there was a lot of mud attached to it, and it was also stained with a clear color. In addition, Chen Bao’s own identification skills were limited, so he didn’t recognize what it was.
Just when Chen Bao was about to ask, Liu Dong had already handed the jade object into his hands.
"Brother Dong, this...!"
"Listen to me, you will be like this for a while...!" Liu Dong lowered his voice and explained carefully in Chen Bao's ear.
"Remember?".
"Remember!" He nodded, and then Chen Bao asked, "Brother Dong, it's not like we can't afford it? Why don't we just buy it generously?"
"If I buy it generously, I'm afraid this thing won't be in our hands. And even if it is in our hands, we won't be able to make any profit!" Liu Dong said with a wry smile.
Now he is feeling more and more tired of his reputation.
In the past, he was always successful when searching for treasures on Taobao. But since he has more and more good things in his hands, especially after he helped the Collecting Association to win over his colleagues in Hong Kong last year, when he returned to China and went to antique shops to find treasures and found missing items, he would always be successful.
Got into trouble.
In addition to being intercepted by his peers, many antique shops who knew him often offered high prices for Liu Dong's favorite items, or simply stopped selling them, for fear that they might be blind and steal the treasure!
This phenomenon is particularly evident in the antique shops in Beijing and Quancheng.
Therefore, in order to avoid the same situation happening again today, Liu Dong naturally had to plan carefully!
After Liu Dong finished speaking, Chen Bao also had some realization!
"Brother Dong, I remember! I will do as you told me later!"
"Um!"
After nodding, Liu Dong put the jade bucket back to its original place, then led Chen Bao back a few steps, and took down a cross-legged jade tree about 20 centimeters high from a shelf full of wood carvings.
The statue of Maitreya Buddha with a big belly and a big smile is sitting there!
Chen Bao couldn't see the merits of this Maitreya Buddha statue, whose black paint had peeled off, but looking at his cousin's excited expression and caring about it, he knew in his heart that this Buddha statue was probably no ordinary treasure!
Because the last time he saw Liu Dong with the same expression in the UK, he picked up the lost painting "Esmeralda" by the famous French Impressionist painter Renoir!
At a price of less than 10,000 pounds, he successfully made profits of at least tens of millions of pounds, which makes Chen Bao envious even when he thinks about it!
"Brother Dong, what kind of treasure is this?" Chen Bao asked curiously.
Liu Dong, who was about to speak, twitched his ears, and then said: "I'll give you the thing. I'll explain it to you when I get back!"
At this time, Chen Bao also heard the footsteps getting closer and closer upstairs.
"OK!"
After nodding, Chen Bao took the Buddha statue from Liu Dong's hand.
"Remember what I just told you!" Liu Dong finally confessed.
"Don't worry, I've remembered it all in my head!" Chen Bao nodded vigorously.
Seeing this, Liu Dong patted him on the shoulder, then turned around and walked along the path between the shelves to sit on the chair used for customers to rest at the back of the store.
As soon as he finished it, he saw Yang Baoyun walking down the stairs with a long cardboard box in his hand.
After looking around, Yang Baoyun couldn't see Chen Bao who came with Liu Dong. After Yang Baoyun put the box on the table next to Liu Dong, he couldn't help but said: "Mr. Liu, why didn't you see your brother?"
"Oh, my cousin is also a collector. But he has only been in the industry for a short time and his level is limited. He has not bought many good things, so it is common for him to suffer a loss. Fortunately, his family is rich and he has no shortage of money to spend.
In addition, he has a certain sense of propriety every time he buys things, so although he suffered a lot, the family did not control him very much! However, young people are always a little arrogant. Yesterday, I stumbled at Boss Yang's place. I told him when I got back.
He was stunned! This kid was not convinced, so he went to your shop to do some shopping again!"
After Liu Dong finished speaking, Yang Shangyun couldn't help but show a bit of embarrassment on his face.
Although the rules in the industry are to slap you in the face when you suffer a loss, and blame yourself for your lack of vision, you will never look for trouble afterwards! But Liu Dong is an insider in the industry, and the incident just happened yesterday. This makes Yang Baoyun feel somewhat uncomfortable!
"Mr. Liu, I was not honest last time. How about I return my brother's money to him later?"
"Don't!" Liu Dong waved his hand quickly.
"If you want to achieve something in the field of appraisal, you have to go through the mistakes. Without these hardships, how can you become an appraiser!"
"Haha, congratulations Mr. Liu!"
"Boss Yang is too complimentary!"
"Brother Dong, I will definitely be able to get something good this time!" At this time, Chen Bao's voice sounded from the shelf on the left.
Hearing this, Liu Dong couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile.
"Boss Yang, I hope you will be more generous later!"
"Mr. Liu, this is serious! With everyone with your appraisal here, my brother will not suffer any loss from me!" Yang Baoyun said quickly.
After smiling, Liu Dong's eyes shifted to the cardboard box Yang Baoyun placed on the table!
After seeing Liu Dong's expression, Yang Baoyun also opened the carton and carefully took out an old scroll inside! (To be continued.)
