"Qin Fen, actually I have been here in Guyang County many years ago!" He Wanfeng said seriously to Qin Fen after getting in the car.
"Oh..." Qin Fen was confused and asked hurriedly: "Then why did Mr. He come to Guyang in the first place?!"
"Well, it's a long story. It's almost twenty years ago. I was still a young boy at that time. At that time, the craze for antiques was gradually rising. I heard that a tomb was discovered in Guyang, and there were many rare items in it.
Honey, but I found out after I arrived that I didn’t find anything at all, and no locals mentioned it.”
"Then this is a rumor?!" Qin Fen said with a slight smile.
"That's not necessarily true. As the saying goes, there's no smoke without fire. Maybe only the person who spread the news knows what's going on."
He Wanfeng hesitated and said.
Qin Fen nodded slightly. He was not born yet more than 20 years ago. He didn't know whether it was true or false. However, Gu Yang's Wenwan has been around for as long as he can remember, and it has developed rapidly in recent years.
Many outsiders come here to shop for treasures.
"Mr. He, that's right. After all, Guyang County is where I grew up, so I know it well. Especially in the past few years, there are indeed a lot of antique dealers. I bought a lot of treasures here some time ago. Listen,
It is said that many outsiders come to Guyang to search for treasures."
Qin Fen thought for a while and said.
"Then let's go over and take a look and see how big the antique street in Guyang is?!"
He Wanfeng also nodded.
While talking, Qin Fen had already parked the car, and the antique street was in front of him. After the three of them got out of the car, they walked directly towards the antique street.
It was just afternoon, and although there were not as many people in the Antique Street as there were in the morning, there was still an endless stream of people in the whole street. At a glance, there were three or five customers in each shop.
Of course, the most common ones are the street stalls. Generally, those who are new to the industry start from the street stalls. Once they have practiced their eyesight, they dare to go to the shops.
However, in this antique business, if you don’t get fooled a few times, you will never know the true nature of this business.
"Qin Fen, look, why are there so many people surrounding that stall?!"
At this moment, Gu Ruoling, who looked curious, suddenly pointed to a stall fifty meters away.
Qin Fen raised his eyes and saw that there were more than ten people gathered in front of the stall.
"Let's go over and have a look too!"
A smile appeared on Qin Fen's face, then he said something to He Wanfeng and Gu Ruoling, and walked straight towards the crowd.
"Everyone, although these things of mine are just gadgets, it goes without saying how precious they are! Everyone who is involved in the antique business knows whether these things are genuine or not. Now I don't want hundreds of thousands of them.
, as long as 10,000 yuan, you can neither suffer a loss nor be cheated!"
When Qin Fen and others approached the stall, they heard the stall owner shouting at the top of his lungs. This way of selling antiques really surprised Qin Fen.
Isn’t this the advertising slogan of TV shopping?!
Qin Fen really admired the stall owner's brains and couldn't help but glance at him. He saw that this man was thin, his eyes were not big, but his voice was not small, and he looked very happy.
"Take it down. If it is a snuff bottle from the Qing Dynasty, no matter what material it is made of, it can range from hundreds of thousands to millions. If you pay 10,000 yuan a piece, it is obviously a modern imitation?!"
By this time, some people had already begun to refute.
"Haha, this brother seems to be really knowledgeable. To be honest, I collected this from the village. The price was not high. I planned to make a lot of money, but many people said that this is a fake.
, so the price was not high, so when I got angry, I sold them as a set here. There were six of them in total, and I was given 60,000 yuan to take them all!"
"I think I'll give you ten thousand yuan at most. This thing is just a gadget. If you buy it back, it's just a toy. How can it have any collection value?!"
"Brother, you are an outsider. You don't collect antiques based on their size." The stall owner was not angry and continued to say with a smile.
While speaking, Qin Fen had already squeezed through the crowd, looked down at the six snuff bottles placed on the stall, and a look of shock appeared on his face.
Because he found that there was a trace of strong soul energy on one of them. It was very simple. At least one of them was indeed a cultural relic, and judging from the soul energy, it was quite old!
"How is it?! Are you interested, brother?!"
The stall owner asked Qin Fen with a smile.
Qin Fen's heart was moved and he didn't say anything. He just smiled and shook his head.
"Ahem... I said, do you really think there are no good things on the stalls?!"
The stall owner looked slightly disappointed when he saw Qin Fen's expression.
"It's not that there are no good things, but I'm too worried about you as a stall owner. Originally, selling antiques is a very serious matter, but you just turned it into a TV shopping, who still believes you?!"
Qin Fen chuckled and said.
"Hehe!" The stall owner smiled and scratched his head and said, "Brother, I don't know. This is my personality. Life is hard, so why should I be so serious?!"
"Haha, you can think openly, but remember one thing, in the antique business, first of all, you must have a cool head. Are you taking this a little too much for granted!?"
Qin Fen laughed.
"Hehe, it seems that my brother is an expert. As I said, it is something that cannot be done due to personality. Forget about gossiping, let's take a look at my snuff bottle!" The stall owner pointed to the snuff bottle on the stall.
Qin Fen smiled, squatted down slowly, took these snuff bottles in his hands, and looked at them carefully.
The third one is a porcelain snuff bottle, but judging from the quality and materials used, it should be obvious that it is a modern imitation. In particular, the cracks on the top are too regular, and they are obviously artificially aged.
There are also two copper snuff bottles with hollow patterns carved on them and a lot of patina, but they have no sense of age and are also modern imitations.
Qin Fen's eyes fell on the last piece. It felt warm and moist when held in his palm, and the size was just right. Qin Fen calmly looked at the label on the bottom and saw the words "Gu Yuexuan".
Qin Fen's heart suddenly moved. This was not the first time he heard Gu Yuexuan's name. When talking about snuff bottles, although they were passed down from the West, in ancient times, especially Gu Yuexuan's was the best.
.
Of course, everyone who knows Gu Yuexuan knows that the explanation of this name has never been unified, so there is no way to verify the details.
But Gu Yuexuan's snuff bottles were the most exquisite and expensive in the Qing Dynasty.
The snuff bottle Qin Fen is holding in his hand is made of material. This material is actually just a kind of glass. This small, flat and round snuff bottle is made of enamel and enamel.
The glaze, a lifelike landscape painting, is perfectly presented on this small snuff bottle, without any pause, as if it was completed in one go.
Therefore, Qin Fen has concluded that this is undoubtedly the work of Gu Yuexuan.
"How about it brother?!"
The stall owner saw Qin Fen studying it for about ten minutes and asked with a smile.
"Haha, what these people said just now is good, but they are just modern imitations!" Qin Fen stood up and chuckled.
"That's right, it's really a scam for you to get some imitations and sell them for 10,000 yuan each!"
"In the antique business, there is no such thing as cheating. It's your ability to pick out leaks, but it's your lack of ability to make holes in them!"
At this time, the crowd had already begun to talk in various directions.
The stall owner looked a little helpless and hurriedly explained to everyone: "You guys are not discerning enough, I'd better wait for someone who really knows the goods!"
As soon as the stall owner finished speaking, he glanced at Qin Fen quietly.
"Then just wait until your baby sells for a sky-high price!"
While he was talking, all the people watching had dispersed. After a while, only Qin Fen and Gu Ruoling were left in front of the stall, and of course He Wanfeng, who had been silent all this time.
"Haha, brother, everyone is gone now, can you tell the truth?!"
While Qin Fen was very interested, the stall owner smiled strangely at Qin Fen.
"What's the meaning?!"
Qin Fen was stunned and said curiously.
"Haha, in the antique business, you must at least have a sharp eye. Whether you are identifying people or appraising treasures, you must keep your eyes open. If I am not wrong, there is a treasure among my six snuff bottles!"
The stall owner smiled immediately.
Now Qin Fen was quite interested. He didn't expect that his hidden thoughts would be discovered, and he became more curious about the stall owner.
"I think you've got it wrong. I just like some alternative gadgets, and I'm really interested in your snuff bottles!"
Qin Fen denied it directly.
"I, Li Erga, have been involved in antiques for many years. If I didn't have such a sharp eye, I would have hanged myself long ago. What's more, I have a snuff bottle from the Qing Dynasty here!"
Li Erga said confidently towards Qin Fen.
"Then I'm very curious. Since you think you have a snuff bottle from the Qing Dynasty, wouldn't you be losing money if you ask for 60,000 yuan?!"
This Li Erga made Qin Fen more and more curious.
"Hey, in order to attract people, to put it bluntly, it's just a routine!"
"Let me go, your strategy is really risky. With all due respect, your personality is not suitable for antiques. You may lose everything one day!"
Qin Fen said helplessly.
"Haha, since it's a routine, of course I have my own ideas. Even if someone really wants to buy it, I can still play shameless and not sell it. I'm not really stupid!"
"Then you don't care about credibility." Qin Fen said seriously.
"As long as the thing is still in my hand, these things will not exist!"
"Okay, if that's the case, then you can continue with the routine!"
After Qin Fen finished speaking, he winked at He Wanfeng and Gu Ruoling, turned around and left.
"Hey...brother, my Gu Yuexuan's snuff bottle is worth at least a million, aren't you going to take a look?!" The stall owner suddenly became anxious and shouted towards Qin Fen.
"Haha, only those who are virtuous can conquer the world. I really can't accept your routine. Even if you have tens of millions of antiques, in my eyes, they are still worthless! And one more thing, this is not a routine of yours, it is clearly
