Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 567 Rules
"Actually, you are not very interested in antiques, so there is no big taboo. As long as you don't make a move, you won't be fooled." Zhou Zhi laughed.

"Well, if we like something, I'll pull you over to help me." Xu Hui nodded.

"There are other rules involved here." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "There are several rules for looking at things, the first one is 'Don't look at or ask about things in other people's hands', let alone give random opinions."

"What do you mean?"

"That is to say, if you are interested in something, but someone else is looking at it, don't join in the fun at this time, just say 'brother, let me take a look at this', it is easy to get scolded .”

"The correct way to do it is to say nothing, and wait for others to read it and return the item to the seller before picking it up from the seller's booth."

"Some people have unclean hands and feet, so they are easy to steal. If he takes something and hands over the rest to you, and you return it after reading it, and the seller finds that something is missing, you will not be able to tell. This is one of them. .”

"When your previous buyer has selected a few items and is negotiating with the boss, please keep quiet if you are on the scene."

"If you see someone bargaining, go over and ask 'what did you buy, let me see' or directly ask 'boss, how much do you sell this thing for?' This is not advisable, because when the two parties negotiate the price, it is actually a In the process of psychological contest, if you meddle in it like this, it will make both of them nervous."

"Buyers will think, what is this kid doing, don't try to steal. Sellers will think, what is the meaning of this person, trying to make trouble, if the buyer is run away, who am I going to sell?! That's the second."

"Another point is that you must abide by the rules when you go to the market with experts. No matter how you ask me, such as whether this item is right, how much is the price, whether I should buy it or not, I will not know. Take care of you."

"Because the antique business is most taboo to comment on the bad things of others in front of the seller, or say that the thing is a fake. Even if you have already seen it, you can at most give a hint. You can ask the seller for a 'hush fee'. It cannot be broken."

"Because the business in this business is never guaranteed to be authentic, and the authenticity depends on the eyesight."

"Yes, yes, yes, what Elbow said does exist. Antique shops have never publicly cracked down on counterfeiting, because in the past there were industry rules in the antique industry. If something went wrong, the guild could only judge right from wrong, and the guild did not protect the behavior of 'punching'. .” Old Chai nodded to express any thoughtful words.

"For example, in 72, Liu Dongxuan, an old antique dealer in BJ, was furious because he regarded a real Huangtian stone as a fake and couldn't lose face; I spent [-] yuan to buy several pieces of fake Qianlong official kiln porcelain, which damaged the reputation of the store and eventually led to bankruptcy; " Lao Wang added

"Traditional antique trading is not just a competition of price, but more importantly, a competition of knowledge and eyesight." Lao Chai said: "Therefore, no matter whether it is a loss in the purchase or a sale, you cannot return the goods or find a later account. Because antiques Trading is based on eyesight and strength. A layman does not dare to buy without knowing it. If he dares to buy, he must understand. Buyers may buy fakes and buy expensive, and sellers may sell them at low prices. Both buyers and sellers bear certain risks. If the trend of accounting is long, it will definitely affect its reputation in the industry."

"Then there is no way to punish those who sell fake goods?" Fu Xia asked angrily.

"Selling fakes depends on the situation. One is that the seller didn't understand it, and the other is that the seller deliberately did it." Lao Chai said: "In the old days, if there is a problem with the collection that the store puts out, a knowledgeable collector only needs to Gently place the utensils with their mouths down on the counter to show that the shopkeeper can handle it. A shopkeeper who understands the rules, as long as he listens to the buyer's words, the shopkeeper must treat the guests and pay the hush money. In the jargon, it is called " hang red'."

"Because if it gets out, the reputation will be bad, and it will greatly affect the business of the store, and in severe cases, it will lead to closure. In the old season, this is punishment." Lao Chai said.

Fu Xia shook her head: "Sometimes you Orientals really can't figure out how you think."

"Don't think about it if you don't understand it. And now the antique business has long since lost this rule, let alone the shame. They all know and sell fakes, and one cheats the other." Fei Guan said with a smile: "So if you are a layman, buy The best places for cultural relics are the cultural relics stores in various places. Especially you foreigners, I am not saying that you foreigners have no masters, but the vast majority of people who visit antique stores are all mallets."

"After seeing the goods, it's the transaction. There are two rules here."

"The first rule is that when the owner wants to sell, he must first ask the price. If the seller does not ask the price, the buyer will never give the price."

"This is to prevent the buyer from selling antiques that are fake, and the estimated price is true. In addition, if the seller's asking price is too high, the buyer has the right not to counter-offer. At this time, all you need to say is 'sorry, I don't see it well', and then refuse Buy."

"The second rule is another big taboo in the world, that is, once you make a counter-offer and the seller agrees, the buyer can't go back on his word, otherwise it's breaking the rules."

"Yes, at this time, even if you know that you are at a disadvantage, you can only buy it. Otherwise, even if the lawsuit comes to the guild, the guild will think that you do not abide by the rules. At least it will damage your reputation, and at worst it will directly lose your qualifications in the industry."

"Also, when there are already buyers who have chosen a good item to negotiate with the boss, suppose the boss asks for one thousand and the buyer pays back eight hundred. If I want it, it is also a big mistake."

"So if you want me to help you see something, you have to trust me completely. I can help you see things and bargain for you, but you can't talk at this time. Generally, familiar companions will have a set of code words to communicate , but as newcomers, it’s too late for you to learn, so it’s best not to say anything and let us do it.”

"Also, there are only experts in the antique industry, and there is no plenary session. I'm just doing some research on porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and I'm still learning the rest, so I dare not understand everything."

"The water in this industry is too deep, the only way is to 'abstain from greed', that is, within the framework of one's own knowledge, do not look at everything, no matter how good the story is told by others, never make a move, only in this way can we put an end to it." Possibility of being deceived."

When Lao Chai heard this, he slapped his thigh: "That's the reason! The problem is that every time he enters the arena, his hand is cheap, and he can't control it!"

"Hahahaha..." Several players knew the meaning of these words. It seemed that Lao Chai had taught a lot of tuition fees in this ghost market.

"It seems that Elbow is really familiar with this business." Old Wang said: "You are so young, how can you be so experienced?"
