Appreciation of treasures

Chapter 909 30 Seconds

"I don't know what this Guawazi is doing now..."

Thinking of Zhao Gang, a smile appeared on the corner of Wang Na's mouth involuntarily.

In the evening, it was getting bright now and the sun had not set yet.

The taxi driver sized up Zhao Gang and Situ Yan from the rearview mirror, "You two guys, are you going to the ghost market to pick up leaks?"

"Yes, master." Zhao Gang chuckled.

"Jie Nian, why does everyone want to go to the ghost market to pick up leaks, young man, let me advise you, the water in this ghost market is deeper than the Jiuhe River in Tianjin Wei, you two are so young, if you go, you will be slaughtered lamb."

The taxi driver smiled and tried to persuade him.He has met many people who come to the ghost market to pick up leaks, most of them are elderly, and the youngest are in their thirties. How capable are these two boys in their early twenties in the back seat?
"Master, this brother of mine is extraordinary. You may not know that with his abilities, I'm afraid you won't be able to find anyone as powerful as him in Tianjin Weigui City." Situ Yan was indignant.

"Brothers, antiques are not something you can talk about. Anyway, I have already said this, so you should do it." The taxi driver smiled and shook his head, feeling that the two guys behind are not only incompetent , but also bragging.

The taxi driver stopped talking and sent the two of them directly to the gate of the ghost market.

This ghost city is located at the intersection of NK District and Hexi, which is quite remote compared to the city center.Before coming here, Zhao Gang had already learned about the basic situation of this ghost market from the Internet. It is said that this ghost market is still a few years old, and it can be traced back to the middle of the Ming Dynasty at the earliest.

Because there was a curfew on this land at that time, but because it was located at the lower tip of the Jiuhe River and the business was busy, the imperial court finally designated a piece of land to open the door at night, which was called a ghost market at that time.

At the beginning, it was used to trade various commodities, but later, this place did not have any traffic advantages, and finally it was called the antique and flea market.

But the rules of the ghost market have been preserved, which is considered the first in the whole country.

Anyone who collects knows that antiques require great eyesight, and the environment is also very important. Many porcelains can't be seen from the outside, but with a light, you can see them carefully, and you can see the material at a glance. no more.

And if the lighting is not good, or even very dim, this requires the collector to have a very high appreciation ability.

As for antiques, there is a saying in the industry, which is called "one fake, one hundred fakes, one true, one thousand true."

To put it simply, an imitation is an imitation, no matter how sophisticated the imitation technology is, it will still leak its flaws, but if the thing is real, even if it looks like an imitation, there will be no way to criticize it.

No matter how superb the counterfeiting skills are, the traces of time and history cannot be faked. Even through some professional antiquity techniques, it cannot be [-]% the same.

"Go in and have a look?" Situ Yan looked at a concrete wall in front of him, which said NK District Second-hand Trade Market. Inside was a school of antique small houses, all of which were buildings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with each room and each stall .

This scale is far from that of Panjiayuan. It is already 06:30, and there are not many people inside.

"Go in and have a look." Zhao Gang nodded, and then walked in.

At the beginning, there were not many people inside, just in twos and threes, and it seemed that the popularity was less than one-tenth of Panjiayuan's.

"Boss, how did you sell this piece of jade?"

Zhao Gang saw a piece of jade on a stall, and immediately stopped and asked.

The boss is a fat man in his 50s with a big belly. He squinted his eyes at Zhao Gang in the smoky cigarette, "Brother Jie, your vision is not bad. This jade is from the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. It’s not about the price of things, just look at Jieshui…”

Zhao Gang held it in his hand and glanced at it, and found that the jade was at most from the Xianfeng period, and it was quite different from what the boss said. He didn't expose it immediately, but started chatting with the boss.

"Boss, there are not many people in your ghost city!" Zhao Gang said.

The boss waved his hand, "Is this your first time coming to the ghost market? I'm telling you, there are only a lot of people around eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and you two have come at the right time today. Tonight There was a fantastic 30-second trading session."

"What does the 30-second trading meeting mean?" Situ Yan scratched his head, this was really the first time he heard this term.

The boss took the last puff of his cigarette, "You can only watch one thing for 30 seconds. There are many good things in it, but the entrance fee is 1 yuan."

"30 seconds? Are you kidding me?" Situ Yan shook his head. A thing can only be seen for 30 seconds. Isn't this nonsense? There is an old saying in the collection circle, "Look up and down for a minute and a half, and feel left and right for a quarter of an hour." . '

That is to say, antiques need to be looked at and touched carefully, so that they are not easy to be punched.

Moreover, generally old antiques are expensive, once the eyesight is not in place, it is not as simple as a heartache.

Looking at an antique in 30 seconds, to use a popular saying at the moment, what you play is your heartbeat!
"Where is that place?" Zhao Gang immediately became interested. The entrance fee of 1 yuan is not cheap, but if you can find one or two mistakes, what is the entrance fee of 1 yuan?
"In the middle of the field, you can see it if you walk a few tens of meters." The boss pointed out, and then said, "Little brother, do you want this jade?"

"Thirty-five thousand, if you are willing to sell at this price, I will take it." Zhao Gang smiled slightly.

When the boss heard this, he immediately snorted, "You're just kidding, I can't sell this, it's a blood loss!"

He said so, but the boss was secretly surprised. This jade was collected from the countryside a few months ago, and it cost over [-] yuan at that time.

He didn't expect that this kid's eyesight was so vicious that he could see so accurately.

"The admission fee is too expensive, 30 per person, and this [-]-second trading session is too much of a scam. If you run into someone above you, you will be bankrupt." Situ Yan smiled wryly.

"I'm not here to pick up missing pieces. I think Brother Zhou will definitely not miss such a good opportunity and will definitely be there." Zhao Gang chuckled.

"He will really come?" Situ Yan was a little bit disbelieving.

"It will definitely come, this is a good opportunity for us, but there is one thing you must pay attention to."

Then Zhao Gang whispered a word in Situ Yan's ear, and Situ Yan was surprised when he heard it, "Isn't that going to work? If you do what you do, wouldn't all previous efforts be for naught?"
