"Brother Lin, most of the items on the shelves of Bailong Jade Store are fakes. Generally speaking, 80% to 90% of the items have been picked up by others. The remaining items are either easily seen as fakes or are ambiguous. Brother Lin
, if you really want to buy it, just pick a few similar ones, just to be happy, don’t buy too expensive ones.”
Seeing that Lin Ming really wanted to buy it, Li Yifeng couldn't help but remind him that if he was a master of appraisal, he could help Lin Ming gain insight, but he himself was only half-assed, so he had no confidence in appraising ambiguous things.
"Brother Li, don't worry, I know it well, and I just want to have fun when I buy things."
"Haha, that's well said. I'm so happy that money can't buy it. Although this jade carving industry requires you to see more and buy less, but it's pointless to be timid all the time!" Li Yifeng said and walked straight to the street where Lin Ming had asked about the price before.
Li Yifeng has come here to see this carved dragon several times before. He really likes it, but he can't get it right and has never dared to buy it. Today, he plans to buy it directly.
Lin Ming felt helpless when he saw Li Yifeng picking up the carved dragon. He had seen this carved dragon before and said it was made by a master thousands of years ago.
Lin Ming couldn't tell the master's handiwork, but he could tell the age. It was an imitation that was no more than a hundred years old.
He reminded him deliberately: "Brother Li, I feel like this dragon carving..."
"Feeling bad?"
"Kind of."
"It's okay, buddy, I've been wanting to buy this carved dragon for a long time, but I haven't been sure yet so I didn't dare to make the move. As you said. Buying things is just for fun. If I come back empty-handed today, I won't be able to figure it out. I'll buy this carved dragon.
, even if I buy a fake, I will admit it."
Li Yifeng had already talked about this, so naturally Lin Ming wouldn't say any more.
He glanced at the scar-faced man, who smiled like Maitreya Buddha. He had made a lot of money from these few deals today, so of course he was happy.
Lin Ming smiled slightly. He walked to the shelves calmly and began to select jade carvings.
He had Xuan Wuji's 6,000 top quality True Essence Stones in his hand, plus all the wealth left behind by the other life-killing powerful men he had killed, there were a total of 14,000 to 5,000 top quality True Essence Stones, and Lin Ming planned to spend more than half of it.
Come and buy jade carvings.
In this case, he would naturally choose the expensive one.
"Seventh grade wood spirit jade. Three hundred thousand years old. Good material." Lin Ming looked at a two-foot-tall jade Buddha in front of him. In Tianyan Continent, this kind of wood spirit jade is pretty good. According to his estimation, this kind of wood spirit jade is quite good.
The price of gadgets will never be lower.
The scar-faced man saw Lin Ming looking at the Jade Buddha and came up to him with a smile. He originally thought that Lin Ming was Li Yifeng's follower, but now it seemed that Lin Ming was Li Yifeng's friend, so he would naturally treat him with courtesy.
However, from the way Lin Ming looked at the jade carvings, he was obviously an outsider who could not even be considered a newcomer. It would take an average appraiser several quarters of an hour to appraise a jade carving, and he had to look, touch and smell it.
Lin Ming would only use one stick of incense to look at a jade carving. He would only occasionally reach out and touch it, and most of the time he would just look at it. What could he tell from this?
Therefore, the scar-faced man believed that Lin Ming was an outsider.
Unless they are taken advantage of by such ignorant laymen, it is impossible to expect them to buy a jade carving of wood spirit that costs thousands of yuan and does not know whether it is a genuine or fake wood spirit jade carving.
Therefore, the scar-faced man did not regard Lin Ming as a customer at all. He just looked at Li Yifeng's face and greeted him with a smile, "This Jade Buddha is numbered 45 and costs 5,000 yuan in spirit stones..."
The scar-faced man said as he shook the price slip in his hand. He quoted the price directly to make Lin Ming retreat and avoid wasting his time. Normally a layman with a normal mind would have given up long ago upon hearing this price. After all,
They couldn't understand it at all, they just watched it for fun.
So even if the Wood Spirit Jade Buddha in front of Lin Ming was genuine and could be sold for at least eight or nine thousand yuan in spirit stones at the auction house, the scar-faced man was not nervous at all. He could predict with his toes that Lin Ming would not
Interested in this stuff.
Not to mention Lin Ming, even those warriors who claim to be experts, in the past two years, not one thousand but eight hundred people have seen this jade Buddha, and no one dares to buy it.
The main reason is that its price is high, and it lacks a hint of cold green light compared to the average jade Buddha that is older, which makes people hesitate. In fact, this kind of light is not found in every authentic product.
But what the scar-faced man never expected was that Lin Ming seemed to be very interested in the Wooden Spirit Jade Buddha. He fumbled around for a while and said, "It looks quite good. My mother likes to worship Buddha, so I will buy it."
Give it to her old man."
The scar-faced man almost thought he had heard wrong. Didn't this kid have a fever? Just because his mother liked to worship Buddha, he bought a five-thousand-yuan spiritual stone as a gift to his mother, regardless of whether it was true or not?
Not only the scar-faced man, but also Li Yifeng was shocked, "Brother Lin, are you kidding me? This jade Buddha itself is an ambiguous object. Do you really want to buy it?"
The Jade Buddha worth 5,000 yuan in spirit stones was considered an extremely expensive item in the White Dragon Jade Shop. If Li Yifeng came to buy it, he would think twice about it, fearing that he might make a mistake, but Lin Ming didn't use a stick of incense in total.
I immediately decided to buy the item. This behavior can be described in three words as being taken advantage of.
What the Jade Shop is most happy to see is a rich scapegoat who buys things casually without caring whether they are true or false. However, according to Li Yifeng's understanding of Lin Ming, Lin Ming is extremely talented and will never do stupid things, and his net worth is not
How much, what's going on?
"Hey, congratulations, Brother Scar, you met a rich man and made a fortune!" Behind Lin Ming, Zhou Kun had a playful smile on his face, and his words were obviously in a tone of watching a good show, clearly mocking Lin Ming's stupidity.
However, after Scarface heard Zhou Kun's congratulations, he complained in his heart. This jade Buddha was not collected from Mr. Chu, but was the inventory of the Bailong Jade Bank's head office. It was one of the treasures brought to the store. This thing is according to the
If you sell it for five thousand yuan, you will lose money.
"This little brother must know the rules of our jade shop. Things can be real or fake. Buying and selling depends on your own eyes. Once you buy Qiu Hou, you can't settle accounts." Scarface still hoped that Lin Ming didn't understand the rules.
, I was able to retreat after listening to my own story, but I didn't want the other party to nod lightly to show that I was very happy.
"Okay, then I'll wrap it up for you!" The scar-faced man tried his best to look cheerful, as if he had made a fortune again, which made Lin Ming feel guilty, but Lin Ming's expression did not change and he nodded again.
It made Scarface's heart tremble.
This kid, isn't he pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?
However, Li Yifeng already felt a little guilty, "Brother Lin, please think about it, this is five thousand yuan of spiritual stones!"
"I know, just wrap it up, shopping is just for fun."
Li Yifeng opened his mouth, and finally smiled helplessly, "Okay, anyway, for Brother Lin, even if he spends all the Yuanling Stone, he can make it back soon."
The man with the scar endured the bitterness in his heart and wrapped up the Jade Buddha, trying his best to maintain a happy smile on his face. However, when he looked up just after wrapping it, the man with the scar almost fell over. He saw Lin Ming picking up an emerald green Buddha.
Incense burner, looking at it over and over.
The incense burner is a genuine product. Although its value is not as good as that of the Jade Buddha, it can still be sold for seven to eight thousand yuan in spirit stones at the auction house!
This thing is also the stock of the store that was divided by the head office. This guy, isn't he going to buy this incense burner again? Then this time Bailong Jade Shop is really losing money! The price of this incense burner in the price jade slip is only 4,500 Yuanling.
Stone, if it is sold, he will pay part of the price difference to the head office.
In order to attract customers, the jade shop will mark the price relatively low. There are only so many treasures used to sell the shop. If people take them away, it will be difficult for him to continue to open the jade shop.
This kid just bought five thousand yuan of spiritual stones, he won't buy more... The scar-faced man still had such a sense of luck, but Lin Ming's next words shattered the scar-faced man's hopes.
It was shattered.
Lin Ming glanced at the price slip and said to the scarred man: "Wrap this one too."
The scar-faced man felt his vision go dark and almost fainted. His heart was twitching, but he tried his best to maintain a bright smile on his face, "You want this? This jade Buddha was carved from Furukawa jade eight thousand years ago.
It's exquisite and obviously made by a famous artist. It can be sold for 8,000 yuan in spirit stones at the auction house. Brother Lin is really discerning. I'll wrap it up for you right now!"
Although the scar-faced man spoke happily, his packaging movements were surprisingly slow. He was hoping that Lin Ming would change his mind. However, Lin Ming had already started to look at the third collection.
On the side, Zhou Kun laughed loudly, "I have seen prodigal people, but I have never seen such a prodigal one. This jade Buddha has been on the shelf for three years and no one dares to buy it. This guy is really awesome!" Zhou Kun said vigorously
He patted the scarred man on the shoulder and said, "Brother Scar, you made a lot of money today, you need to treat me!"
"A treat, a treat for sure!" The scarred man's intestines twisted together when he said this, but he still showed an extremely generous look, as if he was really making a lot of money.
"Brother Lin, if you plan to buy some fun items, there's no need to go here. I'll take you to a street stall. The prices are cheaper than here, and the appearance doesn't look much different at all." Li Yifeng suggested.
The things on the street stalls are purely deceptive. Ninety-nine percent of them are not even fakes, but fakes imitated from wood-based Yuanling Stones.
However, sometimes, one or two treasures will come out that even the stall owner doesn't know the value of. Li Yifeng has visited street stalls countless times and feels that the probability of buying such a treasure is about the same as the probability of being struck by lightning.
"Brother Li, I know it well." Lin Ming said using true voice transmission. He held a new collection in his hand and looked at the scar-faced man. At this time, the scar-faced man's face turned completely dark.
