gifted collector

Chapter 219 Discovery
Fang Ming walked slowly along the street, his brows were furrowed tightly, and he seemed to have a problem.

"Grandma, if I knew this earlier, I wouldn't have swept the goods so hard before."

Looking up at the stalls full of antiques not far away, Fang Ming did feel a little regretful at this time, if he hadn’t been so ruthless in picking up the leaks before, then he would definitely be able to mix in with these people at this time, happy It's better now that there is no way to pick up leaks, but it puts me in a predicament—how should I deal with live broadcast programs?
No matter how powerful his abilities are, there must be someone who is willing to sell the antiques to him!

It's just that now it seems that no one is willing to sell things to themselves!
Ke Liu has already gone back, and the films he shot before must be cut to become wonderful films.

Fang Ming was kicked out by Zhou Yafang, saying that he didn't have to take care of the store's affairs, as long as he could concentrate on figuring out how to solve the problem of picking up leaks.

It's just that he has been thinking about this problem for a long time and has not come up with a solution. How could he figure it out now?

Therefore, Fang Ming was not so much thinking of a solution at this time as he was in a daze and wandering around.However, how can there be regret medicine in this world?
"Huh? What is this?"

Walking to the end of Little Antique Street, Fang Ming found a new stall.In Sikong Zhe's original plan, during the Treasure Appreciation Conference, the Small Antique Street would become a gathering place for antique collectors from all over the country and all over the world to set up stalls and practice their hands, but unexpectedly, more and more people came here. It was small antiques that could no longer meet the needs, so Si Kongzhe urgently discussed with the relevant departments, and included the nearby Dongcheng Street and Huaxi Street into the scope, Fang Ming was naturally very clear about this.

At this time, he had reached the end of the Small Antique Street and entered Dongcheng Street. What surprised him was that there was a shop on the street of Dongcheng Street that was being renovated, and it was basically completed. Decoration is just a kind of hastily decorated and rushed to open.

"Isn't this a small restaurant?"

Fang Ming had been to this place before, and it was only two days ago. He remembered that the small restaurant still existed at that time, but it is gone now, but there is no signboard yet, so it is impossible to tell what it is for.

Extremely curious, Fang Ming shook his head, and simply walked in, he wanted to see what was going on, anyway, there was nothing to do right now, right?

Stones, stones everywhere!
Walking into the store, Fang Ming found that this simply decorated store was full of stones!
There are ten or eight shelves in the center of the store, and stones are placed on the shelves, but there are even a lot of stones piled up in the southeast corner.

If it is said that these stones are beautifully polished stones that reveal natural patterns, he can understand, but the stones in front of him are either black, gray or yellow, and their shapes can be round, square or pointed. If these stones have anything in common, then only from now on: ugly and ugly!

"Are these stones for sale? The question is, who would spend money to buy such stones? It would be ugly to put them in your own home, and you don't even need to pay for them."

Fang Ming shook his head, unable to understand what was going on.

"Hi, may I help you?"

Li Yifeng walked up behind Fang Ming and said hello. Someone had entered his shop before, but they left as soon as they saw the stones in front of them. The young man in front of him was the one who had been looking at them the longest.Although the store has just opened, he came over to say hello as soon as he was eager to make his first business.

"Oh, to be honest, I really don't understand what your shop is for. What's the matter with these stones? Is there really someone willing to pay for these stones?"

Li Yifeng nodded with a smile, and said, "Of course there are people who are willing to buy it. In fact, many people are addicted to it."

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

Fang Ming was even more puzzled. The appearance of these stones in front of him was really bad. He couldn't understand how anyone would be willing to pay for them.

"Have you heard of gambling stones? These are the rough stones used for gambling stones. Although these stones look inconspicuous now, there may be emeralds in them..."

Fang Ming's head seemed to be knocked suddenly, and there was a "buzz".

"Stone gambling? So it was stone gambling? How did I forget about this?"

In fact, stone gambling was not called stone gambling in the past, but a gambling shop. This name was popular in the jewelry industry from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. It means that people who play jewelry go to jewelry shops and other places to find good jadeite. It is carried out through the identification of rough jadeite. In addition to eyesight, it also depends on luck. The risk is extremely high, just like gambling-even in today's extremely advanced technology, there is no instrument that can guess the rough jadeite. Later, after the raw material of jade was dug out, it was often covered with a layer of rock skin. As for what was inside, no one could tell clearly before cutting it open, so the person who bought it It can only be that there are emeralds in the gambling, and slowly, the original gambling shop has become a gambling stone.

"I have good things here from the border of Yunnan, how about it, do you want to try your luck?"

The store has just opened and has not yet done a business, so Li Yifeng naturally tried to lobby Fang Ming as much as possible.

Fang Ming calmed down quickly. From some materials he had read, he knew that betting on stones was a real high-risk job of "one sword in heaven and one sword in hell". How could he just try it so easily?Besides, he had other plans.

"By the way, why do you open a store here? You are betting that you are in the business of collecting antiques. Why don't you open a store in Little Antique Street? That place is better, right?"

Li Yifeng shook his head and said: "The Little Antique Street is very hot now, and there are still shops there? And I plan to operate it for a long time, so it's not suitable to set up a small street stall, right? So just here I rented a shop here. It’s not far from the Small Antique Street, and people will gradually notice it.”

Fang Ming nodded, Li Yifeng's analysis is not wrong at all, it is indeed the case, this place is not far from the Small Antique Street, and it is already there after crossing a crossroad, otherwise Sikong Zhe would not have chosen this place as the Small Antique Street Supplement to the shop - when the temporary stalls on the Small Antique Street cannot be placed, they will be placed here.

Of course, because the small antique street is the center, even though it is across the street, there is a big difference in the degree of excitement.

"How about it? Do you want to try gambling with stones?"

Li Yifeng looked at Fang Ming eagerly, he really hoped to make his first business.

Pointing to his nose, Fang Ming said, "You don't know who I am?"

Li Yifeng was taken aback, and said, "Are you famous?"

"Hahahaha! Not famous at all!"

When Fang Ming heard that the other party didn't recognize him, he immediately felt relieved. Now he has become a rat crossing the street in Little Antique Street, and he can't get along anymore.

"Hey, when you say that, I think you look familiar...No, I should have met you somewhere..."

Li Yifeng frowned tightly, and after thinking hard for a long time, he suddenly patted his thigh and said, "I remember, you are that Fang Ming, right? You are a celebrity, no wonder I look so familiar. It turns out that I have your photo here!"

As Li Yifeng said, he walked quickly to the counter and took out a photo from the drawer. After looking at it, he said: "Yes! There is nothing wrong! It is indeed you!"

"This one……"

Fang Ming was just happy that the other party didn't know him just now, how could he have thought that such a thing would happen in the end?
Seeing Li Yifeng holding the photo, Fang Ming remembered what the stall owner said when Ke Liu was pre-shooting in Antique Street. Really.

Fang Ming walked over and said to Li Yifeng, "Can I appreciate it too?"

Seeing Fang Ming like this, Li Yifeng was also happy, handed over the photo in his hand, and said, "Okay, there is no problem. But then again, brother, you are really awesome! I have traveled far and wide, and I am not knowledgeable enough." Less, but I have never heard of such a thing as you anywhere."

"This one……"

Fang Ming touched his nose, and said helplessly, "I don't want to do this either, but the current situation is like this. It really makes people sad, regretful and helpless."

This is the truth, I really want to be famous - fame means money and status no matter what industry I am in, but I seem to have gone too far in this matter.

Judging from the photo in hand, it was definitely taken by a high-definition camera, and the place is right in front of the gate of Guxuanzhai!absolutely

"Come on, Mr. Fang Ming, if you have time, let's sit down and have a cup of tea."

Fang Ming nodded, and sat down at the tea table with Li Yifeng.

"Mr. Fang, no matter how you say it, you are a little too aggressive. Ordinary people would definitely not be able to do such a thing."

Li Yifeng boiled water to make tea.

"Oh? Really? But you're not worried that I'll come here to pick up on you? You'll definitely suffer a lot at that time."

Li Yifeng shook his head and said: "Mr. Fang, you don't understand now. I'm sure I won't suffer from this matter, and I think these people are making too much of a fuss. In fact, it's because they can't see what you did to them after you picked up the leak." benefit."

"Oh? I don't understand that. Tell me."

This is the first time Fang Ming has heard someone say that his frenzied picking is good for that stall owner.

"Think about it, what is picking up leaks? It means that there are good things. If there is a leak in a certain stall, doesn't that mean that there are good things in this stall? Which one of us who deal with antiques doesn't hear that there is a leak in a certain place? Go to see what’s going on? If more people come, there will be opportunities to do business. So, how can this be a bad thing? Of course it’s a good thing. The antique you missed is indeed a loss, but it can be sold in other places. The place earns back."

"Take my store as an example, if you come to me to gamble up, I will lose money on the stone you bet on, but I will sell a lot of stones because you gambled up, and I will make money in these places. I'm back, so I wish you could bet on me."

……

Looking at Li Yifeng who was talking endlessly, Fang Ming was dumbfounded and found that what he said was indeed reasonable. Picking up leaks or betting on a price increase is equivalent to a live advertisement. come over?The things on the stalls can be several times more expensive immediately.

"Grandma, I have to settle accounts with those stall owners, and I have to give me advertising endorsement fees."

Fang Ming said loudly.

"Ha, that's right. In fact, those stall owners really have no vision. If it were me, I would have to make a big publicity that you missed it. It's really nothing like they are now united to block you. vision."

"But having said that, Mr. Fang, how about coming to my place to try your luck?"

The three sentences were not far from the line, and Li Yifeng brought the topic back.

Taking a deep look at Li Yifeng, Fang Ming said, "Don't worry, they will definitely come, I'm afraid you won't find good things here."

Li Yifeng slapped himself hard on the chest a few times, and Li Yifeng said loudly: "Don't worry, I can't guarantee that every dollar can bet up, but I can guarantee it if there are good things!"
