Chapter 191 The Dirty Antique Shop
Seeing that Wang Haoming finally didn't say anything, but carefully picked out three magic weapons from the pile, of course the golden toad biting money that he had been eyeing for a long time was indispensable.

Seeing Wang Haoming like this, he first picked it up and put it down, then picked up the other one, shook his head and put it down again. It took nearly half an hour to finally choose the three gifts.

The mocking look on the shop owner's face was even more obvious: "Hmph, poor people are poor people, even if it's a gift, you pick it so carefully. Don't you know that even if it's in the garbage dump, no matter how carefully you pick it, you won't be able to pick out gold?"

However, for the shop owner, as long as he can sell the Buddha statues, Wang Haoming can do whatever he wants.

Ten minutes later, Wang Haoming and Lu Yuguo had already left the Buddha Hall.

"Mr. Wang, you are helping me, so you don't have to save me money, or I will feel bad." Walking out of the mall, Lu Yuguo said with a smile.

Wang Haoming shook his head and said, "I'm not saving money for you. This golden toad biting money is a good thing. You can throw away that Buddha statue."

"Ah!" Lu Yuguo couldn't help being stunned when he heard it.

Looking at the beautifully wrapped bag in his hand, Monk Erzhang couldn't help but wonder. Although Wang Haoming also said that this Buddha statue had shortcomings before, he didn't expect that Wang Haoming asked himself to take this Buddha statue as soon as he left the shop. The Buddha statue was thrown away.

"The money-biting golden toad is the most valuable. The shop owner has misjudged it. If it wasn't so, why would I go to such lengths with him?"

As Wang Haoming said, he handed the money-biting golden toad to Lu Yuguo, then "snatched" the Buddha statue in his hand, smashed it into pieces, and put it in the trash can on the side of the road.

…………

After sending Wang Haoming and Lu Yuguo away, the shop owner shook his head proudly. Today, one Buddha statue earned more than 2000 yuan, which feels quite good.Shaking and walking back to the counter, he brought the brewed tea to his mouth...

"Old Yang!"

Suddenly, there was a loud cry, and then a sweaty man rushed in. The shop owner was frightened by the loud cry, and the tea in the cup spilled out.

Looking up, it was Wang Chenggang. He put down the teacup in his hand and said angrily, "Old Wang, you have run into a ghost, are you yelling?"

"Lao Yang, have you sold the pile of magical artifacts I gave you?"

"Isn't it right there in front of the store? It's just a pile of junk, why are you so nervous?" Seeing Wang Chenggang sweating profusely, the store owner asked incomprehensibly.

As soon as Wang Cheng heard it, he didn't have the time to answer Yang Chaolai's words, so he quickly took a look, and found that there were really a bunch of magic weapons piled up on a big table at the entrance of the store.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "That's great, that's great, it's fine if you don't sell it, it's fine if you don't sell it."

The shop owner opened his mouth, and was about to say something, when he suddenly remembered the three magical artifacts that Wang Haoming and Lu Yuguo gave away as gifts when they came to buy Buddha statues, and he felt a little kick in his heart.

He quickly walked over to Wang Chenggang and said, "What's the matter? Didn't you say that there are no good things in here, and you asked me to sell them for 1 yuan?"

"It's not wrong for me to say so, but there are a few good things mixed in. My five-year-old son threw them in when he was playing in the store. I asked him when I couldn't find it, and he said it." Wang Chenggang said. Said, turned over in the pile of magic weapons on one side.

"Heh, Lao Wang, someone came to buy it just now, and I sold three of them." At this time, how dare the shop owner say that he gave away the Buddha statues as gifts when he sold them?
He also understands now that Wang Haoming's appearance just now is definitely pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but it is too late to understand now.

"Ah! When?" Wang Chenggang's face changed drastically when he heard it!

"Just now, those two people may not have gone far!" The shop owner smiled wryly in his heart. He used to laugh at others as a country bumpkin who was greedy for petty gain, so he was the one who was tricked.

"Is there a golden toad biting money inside?" Wang Chenggang asked again hastily.

The store owner thought about it for a while, and said after a few minutes: "It seems that there is one!"

"Hurry up, let's go chase after him." As he said that, Wang Chenggang didn't care about 21, he dragged Yang Chaolai and ran towards the entrance of the mall.

When Wang Chenggang and the store owner rushed to the gate of the mall panting, they saw only people coming and going.

"Old Yang...have...didn't you see those two people?" Wang Chenggang gasped and said, after all, he is a few dozen years old, how can he survive this round of running?

"No..." The shop owner and his hands were also on his knees, panting likewise: "We have already gone far, even if we haven't gone far, we have already sold that thing, can we still want it back? what is this?"

Wang Chenggang knew that what the store owner said was correct, the things had already gone, so what's the use of catching up?Could it be snatched back?

When the shop owner bent down just now, he was about the same height as the mouth of the trash can at the door, and accidentally saw a very familiar bag.

Pull it hard, and with a "boom", pull out a bag from the trash can. When I saw it, I almost fainted. It was the bag I used to hold the Buddha statue for Lu Yuguo just now. When I opened it again, it was the bag I had just sold. of a Buddha statue.

"This one……"

The shop owner was like a defeated little rooster, looking at the broken Buddha statue in the bag, speechless for a long time.

It was already obvious that Wang Haoming and Lu Yuguo, especially Wang Haoming, had never aimed for this Buddha statue from the very beginning. They asked for a gift when they bought the Buddha statue, but it was because they didn't want to drink.

…………

"Mr. Wang, do you think this is a leak?" Lu Yuguo asked excitedly while driving.

"Well, that's right." Wang Haoming couldn't help laughing when he saw Lu Yuguo excited like a child.

But it's understandable when you think about it. Picking up leaks is like gambling. You can't experience this kind of stimulation without participating in it.

"Then how much is this money-biting golden toad worth?" Lu Yuguo asked quickly.

"Not much, about a hundred thousand." Wang Haoming said with a smile.

"Hahaha! That's great!" Lu Yuguo was not happy because of the little money he earned, but because it was indeed a leak, which gave him a sense of accomplishment.

Seeing Lu Yuguo like this, Wang Haoming smiled and said, "Ha, Boss Lu, you are very excited."

"Hey, that's right, that's right, mine is just a small leak, and it's only about a hundred thousand. It's so exciting. Now I can imagine the mood you felt when you picked up the big leak, Mr. Wang. "

Although I was present when I prayed for the copper coin and the copper bell, but the former paid for it myself, the latter copper bell belonged to Wang Haoming, and today's golden toad biting money is not worth much, but it is my own. This feeling is completely different.

She smiled knowingly, turned her head to look out the window, and thought to herself: "It seems that picking up leaks is really charming."

Outside the car window, people come and go, showing its prosperity to the world.Wang Haoming couldn't help feeling emotional in his heart. Not long ago, he was a poor boy, but now his life has undergone tremendous changes in the blink of an eye.

"Everything will be better."

Lu Yuguo didn't go back to his real estate with Wang Haoming immediately, but pulled Wang Haoming to sit down in a coffee shop, and asked Wang Haoming impatiently:
"Mr. Wang, is this money-biting golden toad really worth a hundred thousand?"

Wang Haoming thought it was a bit funny, one hundred thousand was not considered a lot of money to Lu Yuguo, but he was very excited to see him like this now.

Wang Haoming took over his brother Qian Jinchan from Lu Yuguo.

After looking at it, he said: "Lv Dongbin among the Eight Immortals has a disciple named Liu Hai, who has profound magical powers. His favorite thing to do is to travel around, subdue demons and demons, and benefit the world. One day he subdued a golden toad that has been endangering the people for many years. Goblin, in order to atone for his sins, the submissive Golden Toad used its supernatural powers to bite into gold and silver treasures to help Liu Hai spread money to benefit the poor. This is the origin of "Liu Hai plays with Jin Chan, fishing for money every step of the way."

Lu Yuguo carefully looked at the golden toad biting money in his hand, and found that it was made of brass, and the workmanship was quite exquisite.

…………

Back at the antique shop where he was working, Wang Haoming found Uncle Rong and said, "Uncle Rong, please explain to me what I am going to do now."

"Hehe, your main purpose is to contact the outside world and establish a long-term and good cooperative relationship with those collectors and auction houses."

Uncle Rong's words gave Wang Haoming a general idea about his future work.

The reason why Uncle Rong opened an antique shop was not to make money. His net worth is quite a lot, mainly because opening an antique shop gives him the opportunity to get in touch with more antiques. For Uncle Rong who has been obsessed with antiques all his life, this is the most important.

Wang Haoming thought about it for a while, and told Uncle Rong about the manuscripts he found and Tang Bohu's original works.

"Hey, I said you boy, it turns out that you are worth a lot of money, brat, the leaks you picked up on Taobao in the past two months are much more than the number of leaks my old man has picked up in his life, I dare you to still be with me Lay an ambush. It's a pity, you sold all those items, otherwise I can open my eyes, old man, no, if you want to treat me, I have to kill you."

After listening to Wang Haoming's words, Uncle Rong's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh hard.

Wang Haoming's experience during this period is indeed as Uncle Rong said, even a person who has been playing with antiques for a lifetime may not be able to pick up a big leak.

And Wang Haoming's mistakes these few times are enough to make him have nothing to worry about in his life.

"No problem, Uncle Rong, let's go wherever you say to eat at noon. I'm lucky. It's not what you usually taught me. If you didn't explain the knowledge of antiques to me, I wouldn't even know what an antique is." I know."

Wang Haoming patted Uncle Rong's ass flatteringly, but Uncle Rong was very useful. As the saying goes, a thousand-mile horse is easy to find, but a bole is hard to find.

Uncle Rong has always hoped that Wang Haoming can develop in the antique world, and now that the elm lump has opened up, Uncle Rong can't help feeling very relieved.

Wang Haoming felt that the old man in front of him was indeed sincere to him, and he had no intention of utilitarianism mixed in it. Wang Haoming felt that he could no longer hide it.

So he said: "Uncle Rong, my friend and I invested in some businesses. In fact, I originally wanted to quit my job at the antique shop, but I wanted to learn more about antiques from you, so I came back. As for whether I will still be here in the future?" Work, I can't say for sure."

Uncle Rong was stunned when he heard the words. He didn't expect that Wang Haoming would change so much after not seeing him for a long time.

Since he was a young man who was very happy with a salary of several thousand yuan a month, he has now started his own business. However, he still agrees with Wang Haoming's idea. Young people should go out and make a living. rush.

"Okay, that's fine, old man, I will try my best to teach you everything I know, including the tricks in this antique business, so I have to tell you." Uncle Rong also agreed happily.

Uncle Rong looked at Wang Haoming's bewildered expression, and said with a smile, "What's the matter? I don't understand? You'll know it after you've dealt with antique dealers a lot."

Because he was really curious, Wang Haoming asked Uncle Rong what dirty things could happen in the antique shop, and he didn't see any unacceptable things happened. aroused his curiosity.

After Wang Haoming pressed him closely, Uncle Rong also spoke out.

It turns out that in various antique stores, there are also cases of misleading. After all, the means of counterfeiting cultural relics are becoming more and more sophisticated. Many cultural relics are even made more authentic than the big open door, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

This really can't be blamed on the poor level of these appraisers. If they don't use equipment to appraise, I am afraid that some master appraisers will be fooled.

It stands to reason that antique shops usually spend a lot of money when they receive these fake items, and the losses are not small.

However, some antique houses, together with the auction house, auction these fake antiques, and the auction house hypes them up, pretending to be real, and defrauding some antique lovers or ordinary collectors who are not very high-level.

Because most people have a psychology of taking advantage.There is a lot of boasting on the color pages of the auction house's promotional posters, coupled with the relatively low starting price, which makes many people stalk it.

Often this kind of auction is the easiest to sell, but those buyers who think they are looking for treasures are actually fake.
