Chapter 21
Antique Street is a well-known local street.

There are antique shops and small vendors on both sides of the street.

It is always rumored that one day a certain master found a valuable antique at such a low price on this street!

Whether the matter is true or not, there is no way of knowing!

……

"Sir, welcome to our Xingchen Antique Store."

Just as Lin Ming entered a shop, a young guy immediately came up to him and asked questions.

When he was introducing, Lin Ming's eyes turned around in the shop, and he asked without hesitation:

"Do you collect antiques?!"

"Accept. Of course I accept..."

The young guy led Lin Ming towards the old man sitting by the counter and said:

"This way, please, this is our professional appraiser. If you have any antiques, you can show them to him. I can guarantee that the price you can get is the highest on our side!"

"can!"

Lin Ming took out the inkstone from his bosom, handed it to the other party and said:

"Zhu Zhishan's inkstone, please quote me a price!"

"Sir, don't worry, let me take a look. If it's genuine, the price will never be worth your while..."

The old man put on a one-eyed magnifying glass, picked up the inkstone, and examined it in detail for four to five minutes before putting it down, shaking his head and saying:
"This inkstone of yours is an antique!"

"Ok!"

Before Lin Ming bought it, he had already checked with a bunch of people. If it wasn't true, how dare he accept it? !
The old man continued:

"However, this inkstone is not like a collection from the Ming Dynasty, but from the Qing Dynasty. It should be from the end of the Qing Dynasty, during the Puyi period. It can be regarded as a little bit of collection value, but it is not worth much, 3000 yuan! If you think it is okay, let him get it. You open a ticket, we accept this!"

Three thousand? !
Lin Ming's face was filled with black lines. This is the real thing!

This old man is still here fooling him for what Puyi years? !

Isn't that a joke? !

Without further ado, he took the inkstone back, turned around and left, seeing that Lin Ming was about to leave, the old man added a sentence later.

"If you think it's too little, I can add another 1000 yuan!"

Lin Ming didn't intend to stay at all. After leaving this antique shop, he entered three or four nearby antique shops one after another.

The people in these families are somewhat different from the previous one, and most of them will admit that this is an inkstone from the Ming Dynasty.

But no one at all admitted that it belonged to Zhu Zhishan, and the prices offered were all similar.

The most expensive one was priced at 10 yuan, and the others were all under [-] yuan. None of them met Lin Ming's psychological expectations.

Before he came, he also checked the price of Zhu Zhishan's inkstone.

Basically around 100 million!
The selling price in his heart cannot be lower than 100 million!

"It seems these antique shops are still not very reliable!"

Lin Ming complained in his heart, and decided to be cruel and spend some money to go to a high-end place for an appraisal!
"It seems that we can only go to some auctions to see!"

Lin Ming didn't plan to go to these auctions at first. The cycle of the auctions is relatively long, and it also needs a certificate issued by a professional organization, which requires a fee.

Now it seems that there is no good choice.

He was holding the inkstone and was about to leave this antique street when an old man walking towards him stopped him.

"Young man, wait a minute, can you show me the inkstone in your hand?!"

"show you?!"

Lin Ming was stunned and looked the other person up and down. This old man looked to be between six and seventy years old. He was full of energy, dressed relatively smartly, and his eyes were bright and clear. He looked like a successful person. However, the other party's request did not satisfy Lin Ming. A little bit reluctant to agree.

There are too many troubles these days.

Maybe when your inkstone is in the hands of the other party, it will be touched by the other party? !
"Young man, don't get me wrong. I'm an antique lover. My favorite thing is the inkstone. I have collected quite a few at home. I think your inkstone should be from the Ming Dynasty. At a glance, it looks real. It’s inevitable that I’m a little itchy, so I want to borrow it for a look…”

The old man's explanation was quite sincere.

Lin Ming didn't refuse anymore, he handed over the inkstone, and said in his mouth:

"Uncle, my inkstone was used by Zhu Zhishan in the Ming Dynasty, please be careful..."

"Okay, don't worry..."

The old man took it with both hands, looked at it carefully, and muttered while reading:

"Judging from the workmanship, this inkstone is undoubtedly from the Ming Dynasty, but judging from the rust, it is a little different from the general Ming Dynasty items. It always feels a little less old-fashioned, and it seems to be from the Qing Dynasty. Although it says Zhu Zhishan’s name, but it is also possible that it was imitated by people in the late Ming or early Qing..."

Lin Ming listened to his statement, and a thought flashed through his mind.

This thing was brought directly from the Qing Dynasty, that is to say, normally speaking, the oxidation time of this item has been reduced by more than 100 years!

Rust and other aspects will naturally make it look a bit worse.

It was because of this...

Those antique appraisers before all thought that this was a forgery by later generations, and it was not Zhu Zhishan's genuine product? !
I rub!

Lin Ming complained in his mind. It was for this reason that he was afraid that his square inkstone would not be sold at the ideal price!
The old man studied for a long time, then returned the inkstone in his hand to Lin Ming, and said at the same time:

"Young man, I wonder if I can invite you to my house as a guest, so that I can observe this inkstone in detail?! Zhu Zhishan's inkstone, I also have two at home, and I am also very interested in this inkstone..."

After a short pause, he continued:

"If you are young and you plan to sell, I wonder if I can be the buyer?!"

"Of course! As long as the price you offer meets my psychological expectations, then there is no problem at all!"

Lin Ming said without hesitation.

"Young man, please come with me. My car is parked over there. Come to my home and let me use other instruments to explore it in detail. After confirming its age and other details, I will give you my purchase price. , can you see it?!"

"can!"

……

I took the car with the old man and came to the local high-end community.

This community is full of single-family villas, Lin Ming followed the old man into the villa with envious eyes.

Seeing this villa, Lin Ming was relieved. At least this old man was not a liar.

He also has enough financial resources to accept his own inkstone!
The only difference now is his appraisal result and quotation!

"I hope the quotation can be higher..."
