Listening to the old man vividly describing the "self" he saw, Xue Chen couldn't help laughing, and he also understood that the old man might have been at the exchange meeting in Pingyuan City, but he was definitely not there, otherwise he would have
How could you say these words in front of him?
But when he heard others praising himself so much, Xue Chen felt quite happy and said with a smile: "I will pay you 20,000 yuan for this fan. If you agree, I will take it. If you don't agree, you can just keep it and make a fortune for yourself. How about it?"
?”
"Twenty thousand?" The old man didn't think much and just took the box and packed it.
This replica fan from the Republic of China only costs a few thousand yuan. Twenty thousand yuan is already a lot of money. Of course, I won't ask for a hundred thousand yuan again. The money I make is my own.
As for Xue Chen, he was also mature and happy, and he didn't mind if the old man made some money from himself. The compliment just now made it worth it.
It just so happens that summer is coming soon, so I will go back and get some bones to work together.
Xue Chen gave the old gentleman 20,000 yuan and stood up with the box containing the fan. He had just taken two steps when he heard someone shouting: "Who is that, little brother, that little brother on the train..."
Hearing that the voice sounded familiar, Xue Chen turned around and saw someone calling him. It was the three college students, two women and one man, whom he met on the train.
"What a coincidence, we met again." After the three people caught up, the round-faced girl said with a smile.
"It's quite a coincidence." Xue Chen smiled and nodded.
In addition to these three people, there were two other men, one in his thirties and the other in his fifties.
The round-faced girl added: "We are quite destined. We were in the same room on the train. Now we have met. Let's get to know each other. My name is Du Xue. My college classmates Wang Hongmei and Cong Qiangqiang. This is me.
Dad, this is my dad’s apprentice, Brother Zhou Yu.”
The girl named Du Xue was very outgoing and introduced everyone around her to Xue Chen.
Xue Chen shook hands with Du Xue's father and the man named Zhou Yu: "Excuse me, Xue."
"Are you from Yunzhou?" Du Xue's father, Du Guihai, said.
"Mr. Du is right, I am from Yunzhou Province."
Du Xue smiled and said: "My father has been to all over the country. He can hear the dialects everywhere and he can also speak them. Isn't that awesome?"
Du Guihai said kindly: "In the past, I traveled all over the country and participated in antique exchange meetings. For five or six years, Xiaoyu suffered a lot with me."
"Dad, don't talk about those things. It's all over. Now I've opened my own store. It's all the joy of suffering." Du Xue said with a pout.
"Yeah, what are you talking about to Mr. Xue? It's rude."
"nothing."
The male student Cong Qiangqiang glanced at the long paper box in Xue Chen's hand and asked, "We just saw that you gave money to the stall owner. Did you buy something?"
"Well, I just bought a fan."
As soon as he heard that Xue Chen had bought something, Du Xue said to take it out and take a look: "Let my dad help you take a look. If you lose money, go back and return it quickly. There are many of us, so we will definitely agree."
.”
"No need to go to so much trouble." Xue Chen shook his head.
"Oh, you're welcome. It's okay. My dad is very helpful." Perhaps due to his personality, Du Xue was very enthusiastic.
Du Guihai smiled and shook his head with a happy face.
Du Xue took the paper box from Xue Chen's hand on her own initiative and took out the fan. Du Guihai's apprentice Zhou Yu took it, looked at it carefully, and rubbed the paper with his fingers.
He questioned and asked at the same time: "How much did it cost?"
"Twenty thousand." Xue Chen said.
After about ten minutes, Zhou Yu shook his head, chuckled, glanced at Xue Chen casually, and said: "Since you don't have the vision, don't take action casually. This is just a replica from the Republic of China period. You can't
Do you really think it’s Tang Yin’s original work? You can buy it for 20,000 to 5,000 yuan, and you’ll have to pay for it.”
"Dad, is Brother Xiaoyu right?" Du Xue asked.
Du Guihai snorted lightly and looked at Xue Chen: "Mr. Xue, this is indeed a replica of the Republic of China. It can't be wrong. It can't reach 20,000 yuan, so the value is only about 5,000 yuan."
Another female student, Wang Hongmei, murmured in a low voice: "Looking at you reading all the way, I thought you were quite capable."
At the same time, Cong Qiangqiang also became careless when looking at Xue Chen.
"That's right." Du Xue carefully put the fan back into the box and said, "What are you going to do? Either go back and return it, or we can help you. Even if you don't return it, just refund some money."
Zhou Yu looked disgusted with the trouble, glanced at Xue Chen, and said to Du Xue: "You can't just return the things you bought in the antique market. This is the rule. Even if you get an eyelash and spend money unnecessarily, you have to do it yourself."
Damn it, who let me take the wrong look?" I'm not very familiar with it, so I wasted time and energy to help, and I was full.
Du Guihai said nothing.
Du Xue looked at Xue Chen with some embarrassment.
Xue Chen said nonchalantly: "No need to bother."
On the side, Cong Qiangqiang said thoughtfully: "Don't return it. Maybe there is something really special about this fan that has not been discovered. If it is discovered, it will be worth a lot of money. Just like Uncle Du said on the way here just now
In the exchange meeting in Pingyuan City, someone clearly sold a treasure worth hundreds of millions, but because he didn't notice it, he returned it, and another person got a huge advantage."
When talking about this matter, several people looked a bit sighing.
Zhou Yu's eyes flashed with envy, but when he looked at the cardboard box in Xue Chen's hand, he looked with disdain: "This is different. I can guarantee that this fan will definitely not exceed 10,000."
"You came from Pingyuan City, right? You must have heard about this?" Du Xue asked.
"Oh, I heard about it, I heard about it." Xue Chen nodded.
"The guy who took away the hand cup is really awesome. I envy him so much. He really got rich overnight." Cong Qiangqiang pursed his lips.
Zhou Yu hummed softly: "If I had been there at that time, I would definitely have found the hand cup. I heard that the man was not very old, less than thirty years old. He must have been lucky."
After hearing what his apprentice said, Du Guihai said maturely: "Xiaoyu, you can't say that. I have learned about it from my friends in Pingyuan City. The hand-pressed cup is somewhat special. Because of the unearthed environment, it is bright and shiny."
Like new, it is easy to be judged as an imitation that has just come out of the kiln. There were dozens of people present, all experts, but none of them saw the problem. This shows that things are not that simple.
Because that person is young, it is unacceptable to think that it is just luck."
Zhou Yu nodded in agreement.
Du Xue comforted Xue Chen: "Although you lost money this time, don't be discouraged. My father said that eyesight is accumulated through experience. In a few years, even if you can't practice my father's
Level, if Brother Xiaoyu has enough eyesight, you won’t be fooled.”
"Uh...I'll definitely work hard." Looking at the enthusiastic Du Xue, Xue Chen rubbed his nose and really didn't know how to respond.
Zhou Yu was unhappy: "Xuemei, when I was his age, I followed my master all over the country. I have already practiced it, and I will not stumble on a fan that is imitated by the Republic of China." The implication is,
It's impossible to reach my level.
Having just been educated by the master's words, Zhou Yu was a little unconvinced. His eyesight had been trained by practicing stalls all over the country and he had suffered for many years. He was unconvinced by the person who had never met and took away the hand-pressed cup.
But he couldn't see that person, so naturally he couldn't compare. Now Xue Mei compared this person who could stumble on a very ordinary imitation fan from the Republic of China to him. Naturally, she was very unwilling and felt that she had been insulted.
.
Xue Chen always had a smile on his face. After casually looking at Zhou Yu, he said to Du Guihai and the three college students: "I won't disturb you. I'll just walk around by myself."
Seeing that Xue Chen wanted to go shopping alone, Du Xue said kindly: "If you like something, you can come to us and let my dad help you take a look, so that you won't be deceived again."
"Thank you." Xue Chen took another look at the female student. There are really not many people who are so warm-hearted nowadays.
Just as Xue Chen turned around and walked away, Zhou Yu said unhappily: "Xuemei, he is not familiar with us, what can we do for him?"
Before Du Xue could speak, Du Guihai waved his hand: "Okay, okay, let's go in and have a look. He only bought some gadgets. They must be easy to identify. It's okay to just take a look."
Xue Chen continued to wander around the market alone, walking around and picking things up. In more than two hours, he made three more good transactions. Unlike the skillful person on the fan who was just buying and playing and losing money, they were all
There is quite a bit of profit margin.
It was almost noon, and he decided to go out and find a place to have a meal.
While walking towards the outside of the market, he happened to see a few people gathered in front of a stall, seemingly discussing a deal. He happened to be on his way, so he walked over.
Du Guihai was squatting in front of a stall, holding something in his hand and looking at it carefully, thinking about it. His apprentice Zhou Yu was also looking at it carefully with his eyebrows raised, and the three college students were standing aside.
"Master, I think there is something wrong with this celadon plate. There is something wrong with the pattern on it. Why is it a white goose? It must be a fabrication." Zhou Yu expressed his opinion in a solemn tone.
"Is it a fiction?" Du Guihai was a little undecided. He felt that this plate was quite real, like something from the early Song Dynasty. It looked very beautiful, but the two white geese painted on the inside of the plate made him hesitate, because
I have never seen such a pattern before, and it is true that the white goose does not have a particularly obvious symbol of beauty.
The stall owner's asking price is also a bit high, one hundred thousand yuan, and he won't sell it for a penny less.
After thinking for another two or three minutes, Du Guihai shook his head and put the plate down.
"I think this plate is pretty good."
Several people looked back and saw that it was Xue Chen who was speaking.
Zhou Yu looked unhappy: "What do you know?!" (To be continued)
