Siheyuan: a hole in the sky

Chapter 456 Baishou Character Map (Second update, please subscribe!)
"The fifteen yuan?" Zhou Jianguo asked tentatively.

"No, no, I can't sell it." Although the stall owner still refused, his tone became much better. Zhou Jianguo knew that the price had almost reached his psychological bottom line.

"Boss, eighteen yuan!" Zhou Jianguo called out a new price again, seeing that the stall owner wanted to refuse, he added another sentence: "Boss, as long as you sell me for eighteen yuan, I will sell the 'Kissy Stone' here." 'It's all accepted."

This sentence made the stall owner stunned. He looked at Zhou Jianguo and asked with some uncertainty: "Eighteen yuan, all of them?"

"Well, eighteen yuan a piece, I'll take all of it." Zhou Jianguo said with great certainty.

"Okay, deal!" The stall owner yelled out the deal, with a smile on his face for the first time.

Zhou Jianguo was very surprised why the stall owner made the deal so readily. He used to get around [-] yuan for this price, but the stall owner did the deal directly, which made him a little puzzled.

However, after the stall owner yelled a few times to a small alley behind, Zhou Jianguo showed a wry smile on his face, and thought, no wonder the stall owner made the deal so readily.

I saw that after the stall owner yelled a few times, five-two tricycles appeared in the alley, and each tricycle was filled with fossils. There were so many fossils that even Zhou Jianguo's face was full of bitterness. .

"Hehe, I fell into the trap of this stall owner today!"

Zhou Jianguo was extremely speechless. Judging from his previous behavior, the stall owner seemed to be harmless to humans and animals and easy to talk, but he was also a smart person. Even Zhou Jianguo was fooled by his cunning.

He shook his head helplessly. Although there was a look of being fooled on his face, he was actually smiling in his heart, because for him, the more such fossils the better, how could he think there were too many of them.

The more fossils there are, the more aura his Heavenly Orb World can absorb. Correspondingly, the expansion of the World of Heavenly Orbs will be greater. Therefore, Zhou Jianguo is actually wishing that the stall owner could come up with more fossils.

The stall owner also saw the "bitterness" on Zhou Jianguo's face, and was afraid that Zhou Jianguo would refuse, so he quickly emphasized: "Sir, you just said that you can buy all of my products for only [-] yuan. 'Kistler,' sir, you must keep your word."

"In the antique market, you can't take back what you say." In the end, the stall owner also emphasized the unspoken rules of the antique market.

The number of fossils he took out this time is really too much. The fossils on the five tricycles add up to thousands of fossils. If calculated, Zhou Jianguo needs to pay nearly [-] yuan for this.

[-] yuan is nothing after [-] to [-] years, most families can afford it, but in the [-]s, when the general monthly salary was [-] to [-] yuan, [-] yuan was really It's an enormous amount of money.

For families in this era, let alone [-] yuan, even if it is [-] yuan, many families have never saved so much money in their entire lives.

That's why the stall owner was worried that Zhou Jiangui would go back on his word. The amount of money was really huge.

"Don't worry, since I've said it, I'll definitely admit it!" When Zhou Jianguo said this, he pretended to be heartbroken, while the stall owner heaved a sigh of relief.

"Sir, do you want to pay in cash, or?" The stall owner began to urge. This time, he did use some tricks in the transaction, so the stall owner thought that the sooner he could get the money, the better, so as not to have more dreams at night.

"Here you are!" Zhou Jianguo didn't make things difficult for the stall owner, and took out a small yellow croaker and handed it to the stall owner.

This is the case in the business world. Since Zhou Jianguo didn't plot against the stall owner this time, he has to admit defeat.

He's not Yuan Jie, and he can't afford to lose at all. Since Zhou Jianguo lost, he won't make things difficult for the stall owner.

"Huh!" The stall owner let out a breath. After seeing this little yellow croaker, the big stone in his heart finally fell.

"Thank you, thank you!!" The stall owner took the small yellow croaker and thanked Zhou Jianguo with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"Sir, where are you going to put these strange stones?" the stall owner asked again.

Zhou Jianguo gave the money so readily, the stall owner wondered if it would be a compensation for Zhou Jianguo to carry these fossils.

"No need, I have someone who will carry these fossils, and I will leave it to you to carry them. What if they are broken by then?"

The transaction was completed, and Zhou Jianguo stopped pretending.

"Hehe, you've been fooled!" The stall owner said bitterly.

Just listening to Zhou Jianguo's words, he knows that Zhou Jianguo actually knows about fossils, that is to say, he knows the price of fossils, just to keep the price down, so at the beginning, he was pretending to be with him.

"Tricked? I was fooled by you!" Zhou Jianguo said angrily.

"I know the price of fossils, but tell me, is the price of [-] yuan a fossil really low?" Zhou Jianguo asked rhetorically.

"This." The stall owner was speechless, he shook his head, the meaning was obvious.

The one hundred yuan he offered was just the price he offered, the price he wanted to sell, not the real price of the fossil, and the price of fossils in the market is indeed not very high now, the price of a fossil at [-] yuan , In fact, it's really not bad.

"Those five tricycles are considered mine, and that one small yellow croaker costs more than [-] yuan. The extra money is considered the money for these five tricycles." Zhou Jianguo said directly.

"Okay, these five tricycles are yours." The stall owner agreed without hesitation.

Five tricycles cost more than [-] yuan, and for this small yellow croaker, he had to give Zhou Jianguo at least [-] to [-] yuan in change. Therefore, it is very worthwhile to use five tricycles to pay the [-] to [-] yuan. .

The transaction ended soon, and the stall owner left with the little yellow croaker full of excitement, while Zhou Jianguo asked Zhang Ming and others to ride the five tricycles.

Someone here will ask, Zhang Ming and Ye Qing have appeared too many times, wouldn't they be suspected?

The answer is very simple. Every time Zhang Ming and the others show up, they use the Disguise Technique to disguise themselves into different faces and body shapes, so there is no need to worry about being seen through by others.

"It's a pity, if you are more honest, your harvest will not only be this little yellow croaker!" Zhou Jianguo shook his head at the back of the stall owner who was going away.

This stall is mainly because he didn't come to the trick just now, Zhou Jianguo will give him a big business, let him continue to buy fossils, Zhou Jianguo will buy a lot of fossils in the future.

This stall owner was able to obtain so many fossils, obviously he was in this industry, or had a deep relationship with this industry, and without bothering the two owners, Zhou Jianguo entrusted him with the acquisition of fossils.

It's a pity that this stall owner was clever but was misunderstood by his cleverness. Although he made a lot of money with a trick, he also lost Zhou Jianguo's trust and a huge opportunity to soar into the sky.

Since this stall owner was able to tamper with this transaction, he will definitely have a second or third time. Such a person is not suitable to be a partner.

At least, Zhou Jianguo would not want such a partner.

It can be said that this stall owner picked up sesame seeds and lost an entire watermelon field.

"It seems that I have to find someone who understands the fossil industry to do this job. Is there such a person among the people I know?" Zhou Jianguo thought about it, and wanted to find out if there were any people he knew. This kind of people.

"Yes!" Zhou Jianguo's eyes lit up, and he thought of a person, Qian Bojun, Wei Wei's father.

Qian Bojun's profession is archaeology, he must know some people in the fossil industry, so just talk to him, and the problem will be solved.

"Ask Wei Wei first, if Wei Wei knows, then there is no need to bother her father." Zhou Jianguo thought.

Qian Bojun is an expert in archaeology. It is better not to let him know about buying and selling fossils, so as to avoid any accidents at that time.

After finishing the matter of fossils, Zhou Jianguo continued his journey of picking up leaks.

I don't know if Zhou Jianguo's luck was spent by picking up the leak just now. In the next ten minutes, Zhou Jianguo didn't come across any good things. Even if there were one or two good things, the price directly persuaded Zhou Jianguo to leave.

"Boss, may I ask, how much is this jade screen?" Zhou Jianguo took a fancy to a jade screen that was as tall as a person and three to five meters long.

He has seen a lot of screens, but it is the first time he has seen one made of jade like this.

"15000 yuan, no second price, do you want to buy it?" The boss directly said a sky-high price.

Hearing the price, Zhou Jianguo immediately shook his head.

He just had some interest and wanted to buy it back as an ornament, but the price of 15000 yuan directly dissuaded him.

Zhou Jianguo actually knew that if he bought this jade screen, it would be at least a small goal after [-] years, but Zhou Jianguo just didn't want to buy it.

At a price of 15000 yuan, he can buy seven or eight yuan blue and white flowers. Moreover, the jade screen is beautiful, but practically, it is really poor.

This kind of jade screen can only be regarded as an ornamental object when you buy it back. You have to take it out and use it, hehe, it will be broken if you are not careful.

For example, there are guests at home with a few children. Everyone knows that children are very naughty. When they see such a beautiful jade screen, what do you think they will do?
If a child breaks the jade screen, will Zhou Jianguo ask for compensation, or...
Even if Zhou Jianguo doesn't want people to pay, but after this time, there will definitely be very few people who will come to Zhou Jianguo as guests in the future.

No way, they really couldn't afford such a jade screen, so Zhou Jianguo wasn't going to buy it.

The price is high, and it is not practical!
After leaving the stall, Zhou Jianguo found another good thing. This is a [-]-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, and it is still active. Zhou Jianguo's eyes lit up when he saw it.

He is short of Polygonum multiflorum, if he buys this [-]-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, then he will not have to look for other Polygonum multiflorum.

"Boss, how do you sell this Polygonum multiflorum?"

"Two thousand yuan!"

The price offered by the boss was not bad, but Zhou Jianguo paid it back, and the deal was finally settled at [-] yuan.

After that, Zhou Jianguo scanned more than a dozen stalls one after another, but found nothing.

However, Zhou Jianguo is very patient. He knows very well that if you want to pick up leaks and treasures, you have to be patient. If you don't even have this patience, then it's best not to enter the antique business.

In the antique business, sometimes, it is very normal to not meet a treasure for months or even years. Like Zhou Jianguo, it is too normal that there is no harvest for more than ten minutes.

Afterwards, Zhou Jianguo encountered several headaches. He fell in love with a few antiques, but these few antiques were first spotted by several antique masters, and finally sold.

Zhou Jianguo has no choice but to give up on this. He is not Yuan Jie. He grabs whatever he likes, no matter what. Zhou Jianguo abides by the unspoken rule of the antique market. He will not make a sound until the people in front of him give up. .

There are indeed many good things in the market in the afternoon, such as some rare antiques from the Song Dynasty, Ming and Qing Dynasties, Zhou Jianguo saw a lot, and he even saw some antiques from the Han Dynasty, but these antiques are all It's miscellaneous, and Zhou Jianguo has no love for miscellaneous.

Although there are a lot of treasured antiques here, the stall owners here are more sophisticated, and their eyes are very strong, but the price of any better antiques is still high, let alone the market price, it is directly the market several times the price.

Even if you negotiate the price hard in the end, you will end up with the market price, which is not only unprofitable, but also consumes a lot of words and energy. It can be said that the gain outweighs the loss.

In fact, these stall owners do this on purpose. In the antique industry, the most attractive thing is the bargaining with the stall owners. Many people like to watch such excitement. Therefore, as soon as you start bargaining here, you will immediately attract people. Others came to watch.

This brought popularity to the stall owner. Maybe the people on the ninth floor inside would not buy his stuff, but as long as there were two or three people who bought it, it would be a big income for the stall owner.

Don't forget, this is an antique street, and all the antiques are bought and sold. Even if you make a deal once, the amount will not be low.

Zhou Jianguo experienced it once. It was a piece of Xuande porcelain from the Ming Dynasty, and it was a piece of porcelain with a wide open door. Zhou Jianguo wanted to buy it very much, so he negotiated the price with this stall owner.

After that, Zhou Jianguo experienced these things. The stall owner kept fighting with him on the price. Moreover, the voice was very loud, and it attracted many people to watch.

In the end, Zhou Jianguo won the Xuande porcelain, but the stall owner made more money. Among the onlookers, three people also bought several antiques.

Seeing this, Zhou Jianguo couldn't help shaking his head. Every trade and industry has its own business methods, and the business methods of these stall owners are quite good.

It's just that this matter is a bit too ink-stained, and Zhou Jianguo never tried it again.

Maybe others like this kind of bargaining atmosphere, but for Zhou Jianguo, this is too much time wasting. With this time, maybe Zhou Jianguo missed it three or five times.

Although Zhou Jianguo has not picked up a big leak so far, he is not disappointed in his heart.

After all, I own the Celestial Orb, as long as I have the Celestial Orb, as long as there is a big leak, as long as this big leak is not taken down by other antiques, then this big leak will definitely escape from my palm.

Zhou Jianguo never thought that he would be invincible in the antique industry with the Orb of the Heaven in his hand. He knew very well that with the Orb of the Heaven in his hand, he could only make himself invincible, but he wanted to defeat those masters of antiques. , basically impossible.

Zhou Jianguo was able to pick up the loopholes because he relied on the great power of the cave, not on his own knowledge of antiques, and those masters of antiques relied on the knowledge of antiques they had mastered. In this regard, they beat Zhou Jianguo.

To put it bluntly, if Zhou Jianguo were to explain the knowledge about these antiques, hehe, he would lose all face.

Although no big leaks were encountered, some small leaks were encountered. Zhou Jianguo took down these small leaks without paying much.

In this way, nearly an hour has passed unknowingly amidst the constant leaks.

During this hour, Zhou Jianguo took down a total of twenty-six small leaks, and by the way he also took down a dozen collection-level antiques, which can be regarded as a lot of gains, but so far there is no real big leak, so However, Zhou Jianguo's great career of picking up leaks must continue.

At this time, Zhou Jianguo had almost finished sweeping two-thirds of the stalls, and now only one-third remained. He was full of expectations for the remaining stalls.

However, the start was also not very smooth. Zhou Jianguo looked at more than a dozen booths in a row, but none of them took his fancy.

However, when he continued to walk seven or eight stalls forward, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the Dongtian Orb began to signal to him that there was a big leak here.

Zhou Jianguo quickly hid the smile on the corner of his mouth, looked in the direction of Dalou, and said in his heart: "This really pays off! It's been so long, and I finally got this opportunity to reap rewards!"

This booth is also a package booth, and there are not many things on it, only twenty or thirty antiques.

However, what surprised Zhou Jianguo was that all these antiques were real, and none of them were fake. However, the age was not very good, and they were all antiques of one or two hundred years old.

Among them, there is a fine product, and Zhou Jianguo has taken a fancy to two rooms of famille rose porcelain.

Pastel porcelain is a very famous type of porcelain in the Qing Dynasty. It can be regarded as a masterpiece of porcelain in that period. It is very popular among collectors. The price on the market is not low now.

As for the other antiques, one is that Zhou Jianguo doesn't like them, and the other is that they are not as stunning as pastels, so Zhou Jianguo didn't even bother to ask the price.

Such antiques are not eligible to be collected by Zhou Jianguo, so what's the use of him asking.

However, compared to these two pastels, Zhou Jianguo's real attention was actually on one of the characters.

This character is a very common picture of Baishou characters. The author who wrote this picture of Baishou characters is also quite famous. He is Zheng Banqiao's picture of Baishou characters. Although Zheng Banqiao is famous for his paintings, his characters are also excellent product.

Although this is not a painting by Zheng Banqiao, such a picture of Baishou characters is actually quite rare. Not only will you not lose money if you buy it, but it will not be difficult to sell it for a million after [-] or [-] years.

Maybe the stall owner thinks that Zheng Banqiao's paintings are really his paintings, and as for the calligraphy, they are not worth much money. Therefore, this stall owner casually throws aside Zheng Banqiao's picture of Baishou characters, which is not very different from the previous ones. ancient books together.

I believe that if this calligraphy was not written by Zheng Banqiao, the stall owner might have thrown it away long ago.

The stall owner may not like this picture of Zheng Banqiao's Baishou characters, but in Zhou Jianguo's view, this picture of Baishou characters is of great value.

Others only saw the picture of Baishou characters, but what Zhou Jianguo saw was completely different from others. Under his spiritual power, Zhou Jianguo's eyes turned to the axis of this character.

It seems that this scroll is quite inconspicuous, but the middle of this scroll is hollow, and there are some things hidden inside, and these things are the big leak this time.

Zhou Jianguo has also used his mental power to see what these things are. These things are eight red and sapphires the size of thumbs.

If it was an ordinary red sapphire, Zhou Jianguo would not be very surprised, but inside the two scrolls are eight red sapphires the size of thumbs. Even Zhou Jianguo was overjoyed after seeing these gems.

Ruby and sapphire, no matter in ancient times, now, or decades later, are one of the top jewelry, and the value is top-notch.

Before Zhou Jianguo thought about getting some red and sapphires, making rings or necklaces with his own hands, and giving them to Yushui and Wei Wei as tokens of love. I have a headache.

Regardless of the value of these red and sapphires themselves, or for the sake of the rain, Zhou Jianguo has made up his mind, no matter what, he will take down the picture of Baishou.

If someone like Yuan Jie appeared again this time, Zhou Jianguo was not prepared to abide by the rules. He would simply and directly take down the picture of Baishou.

"Yu Shui and Wei Wei will definitely like it!" Zhou Jianguo thought with a smile on his face.

He quickly restrained the smile on his face, and then began to bargain with the stall owner.

"Boss, how do you sell these two famille roses?" Zhou Jianguo was going to take down the two famille roses first. This was not only a preliminary preparation, but also to eliminate the final trouble.

There is no way, the pastel porcelain is too dazzling. People who pass by will notice these two pastel porcelains just by looking at them. Found the problem with that adverb.

Zhou Jianguo said earlier that he would never underestimate those antique masters. Everyone has a strong collection of these antiques. Therefore, if he saw Zheng Banqiao's picture of a hundred longevity characters, he would feel the same as Zhou Jianguo in his heart. Collecting thoughts, what will happen when Jianguo arrives that week.
