National Tide 1980

Seeing Kang Shude holding a flashlight, he looked through the things on the stall so carefully for the first time.

Ning Weimin knew something was wrong.

He almost didn't dare to make a sound, and waited attentively.

The vendor at this street stall is a middle-aged man holding a cigarette in his mouth.

It's just that kind of novice who has no foundation. As soon as he sees a buyer, he works even harder to attract him.

"Old man, I see that you are always an expert. What do you want to find? Don't look at me as a little guy. I want porcelain, jade, jade, and scrolls. It's not my fault. , these things about me..."

I have to say that his "business experience" is really inappropriate for showing off.

When he saw someone coming, he kept an eye on his money bag, as if he was afraid he wouldn't be able to kill him.

Ning Weimin laughed secretly in his heart, knowing that this master was going to be in trouble.

Because this kid has the same problem as he did in the past.

He thinks he is smart, has a frivolous temper, and has a poor tongue.

This is exactly what the old man said, "Those who show off their cleverness have poor virtues, and those who have too many eloquent words have less blessings."

It's a pity that the master himself still doesn't know it.

Think about it, with such a big stick, since I met a real expert today, it would be strange to have a good one.

Ning Weimin really wanted to laugh at him at this time.

"What is my master looking for? Of course he is looking for your son."

"Old man, look at this. This is the official kiln fighting color from the Qianlong period. Isn't it good?"

What's interesting is that the man is a little ignorant and can't tell what his facial features are.

Because Kang Shude just couldn't speak, he still begged for recommendation.

As a result, as soon as Kang Shude opened his mouth, Beng'er went back with just one sentence.

"Return to the official kiln? Gui kiln?"

The seller felt that he had lost face and immediately became angry.

"Hey, old man, do you understand me? You dare not know the truth..."

Unexpectedly, Kang Shude was as straightforward as a fortune teller.

"I don't know the goods? I can tell at a glance that you just arrived today. Right?"

When it comes to art, the seller is like a cat with its tail grabbed, it’s really a bit crazy.

"You...you...are..."

Kang Shude took his time, half-truth and half-falsehood, and set up his position.

"I've been here almost every day for the past ten days or so. I haven't bought ten or eight items every time, and I've never met you."

The seller's eyes lit up. Not only was he relieved, but he also looked like he had seen "great unity."

"Oh, why are you here every day? Then you...you are such an elegant person."

It's a pity that the flattery was not right, Kang Shude shook his head.

"Hey, what's Fengya? To tell you the truth, just like you, I also want to make a living from this."

"But you are here to sell, and I am here to buy first. I will catch the goods from you and sell them in another place. I will earn the difference in hard-earned money. Do you understand?"

"If I were not in a hurry to open my business, why would I have to get up so early and come here every day at my age?"

Of course this is not true.

But now not only the sellers, but also Ning Weimin became energetic.

If for no other reason than the old man telling such a lie, it would not be without purpose.

This further proves that there is something interesting at this stall.

"Oh, I understand. Senior, I'm sorry that we are traveling together, and you are here to grab the goods. Then you can buy two items from me. We are mutually beneficial, and I will definitely give you a good price."

The seller happily said, "I don't want to," and this sentence made Kang Shude laugh again.

The old man looked at the thirty or so things on the stall, chewing his teeth deliberately, as if he was teasing them in a bit of embarrassment.

"I have money, and I want to spend it. But... you... look at it, you don't have anything good here?"

"What are you talking about?" The seller took the initiative to introduce again.

"You keep looking here, how about this blue and white plum vase from Chenghua Official Kiln. Can you afford it?"

But this provoking method was useless, and Kang Shude responded with complete contempt.

He was holding something in one hand and holding a flashlight in the other hand to show the seller, and he immediately criticized it.

"Pull me down, you can't fool me. Are you still in Chenghua? You just opened your mouth to do it."

"If nothing else, look at the birds on the dead branches, they look like they are rolling their eyes at people. How can the official kiln paint them like this? Such sparse painting methods are obviously from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. If I were you , just make it up from the late Qing Dynasty, the risk of bluffing people is greater."

"I might as well tell you one more thing. It's true that the family you're buying and selling things for used to be a wealthy family. It's a pity that it's such a long time ago. They should have been defeated long ago."

"The really good things in their house were either copied by people in the 'Sports', or they were all sold off long ago. The rest of them are no longer serious things..."

To be honest, Ning Weimin couldn't tell which of Kang Shude's words was true and which was false.

But after all, he has been doing business in the entertainment industry for a long time, so at least he knows something.

Praise and criticism are buyers!

This is an old saying in the collecting world.

To put it bluntly, it actually only has one meaning.

People who say something is not good are the ones who are tempted to buy it.

Anyone who says, "This stuff is really good, don't sell it for less" will definitely not buy it.

The reason why I said yes is because I don’t want it.

If you want it, you have to find faults, so that you can lower the price.

Of course, the most important point is that you have to belittle the place.

Only when you speak to the point can the other party not be annoyed and be truly convinced.

And Kang Shude is obviously a man with good intentions.

These few words he said had a big effect.

Just look at the seller who suddenly looked surprised and confused.

No one could hold it back, and the truth came out of his mouth.

"Oh, it seems that you are a wise man. What if you can pinch it? You really have to say. These things really come from the families of officials. As for our neighbors, their ancestors were ministers of etiquette. A second-grade officer."

"But their family has indeed failed. Even the old house in Shichahai has been sold. These are the last few old things they found under the old man's bed. No one in their family understands. They asked me to take them and turn them into cash. .”

"I also looked at this bird and rolled my eyes and muttered. It is indeed a Xibei product. That's right. Seeing as their family is so poor, the goodies will have been sold out long ago. This is still the most decent one, then These two pieces of porcelain are even more unsightly."

"Okay, I've learned a lot now. Next time I encounter someone like this, I'll say it's from the Guangxu year. Then...then you don't like any of the things I have here? What's more? The two scrolls are from their family, would you like to take a look?"

The last sentence sounded like the seller was somewhat guilty and disappointed.

But to his surprise, Kang Shude smacked his lips. Although he refused to look at the scroll, he didn't say anything.
