Chapter 57 The Vanves Flea Market
There are dozens of flea markets, large and small, in the Greater Paris area. If you want to talk about the largest scale, it is naturally the Saint-Ouen flea market that Yang Jing visited the day before yesterday; The Aligue market is located in the west of the center of Paris; but if you want to say which market is the most exquisite and most popular with tourists, it is undoubtedly the Vanves flea market that Yang Jing will go to today.
The Wanvere Flea Market is located in the 14th arrondissement in the south of Paris. Geographically speaking, it happens to be across the center of Paris from the south to the north of the Saint-Ouen Flea Market.
Yang Jing learned from the proprietress of the restaurant yesterday that this market is very small, with only two streets, and it is only open on Saturday and Sunday. The market mainly deals in antique furniture from the 18th and 19th centuries, daily hardware products from the 1950s and 1960s, as well as jewelry, antique cameras, phonographs, books, old documents, coins, second-hand watches, etc. Of course, there are also many modern second-hand items here. thing.
Yang Jing came to the market at eight o'clock in the morning, and at eight o'clock in October in Paris, the sky was already bright.
Sure enough, this market is very small, at least compared to the few flea markets that Yang Jing has been to, the Wangfer flea market is really small. Two L-shaped streets more than 100 meters long have become the main body of this market.
However, although the market is not big, there are quite a lot of people. The most important thing is that this market does not have any shops, it is a complete open-air market. Those stall owners only set up a shed at most, and more stall owners didn't even support a shed, just operating in the open air.
In fact, this model is the real flea market. Like the flea markets that Yang Jing has been to before, whether it is the Saint-Ouen market or the Alfie market, the taste has changed.
A real flea market is this open-air market!
What pleased Yang Jing the most was that he had stood outside the market for more than ten minutes, but he didn't see a sneaky guy. There may be thieves here, but there are definitely not as many as in the Saint-Ouen market. No wonder the Vanves flea market is known as the safest flea market in the entire Greater Paris area.
Without those annoying guys, this kind of market is interesting to visit, and customers dare to buy things without any scruples.
No one wants to take out their wallets under the watchful eyes of thieves!
In fact, there really isn't much room for thieves at the Wanvere flea market. It's not how many policemen there are here, but that all the people here are policemen.
The Wanfer Flea Market also has a long history. It appeared at the end of the 19th century and has a history of more than 130 years. In the 1980s and 1990s, there were many thieves here, which seriously affected tourists here.
Without tourists, those stall owners would naturally have no income. Therefore, one day in the 1990s, a local stall owner who had been operating in the market for a long time spontaneously organized more than ten stall owners to form an anti-theft alliance , whose main duty is to expel those thieves who disturb the order of the market from the market.
Later, more and more stall owners took the initiative to join this alliance. In the new century, almost all stall owners in the entire market have joined this alliance.
Once a thief is found in the market, all stall owners will take the initiative to expel the thief. If the thieves continue their rampage, they will soon find their disaster has arrived.
No matter how rampant the thieves are, they have to get out obediently when faced with a crowd of two hundred stall owners. If they dare not to get out, then they will immediately understand what is called the vast ocean of people's war!
Over time, the thieves in Paris all knew that the Wanvere flea market was not easy to mess with, at least it was not a place for them to hang out, so basically the thieves in Paris would not come here to commit crimes.
Of course, there might occasionally be one or two thieves from other places wandering over, but that's not a big deal after all. If these unknown thieves are lucky enough, they may be able to make a little money after working hard for a long time. But if they are unlucky, their end will be nothing but hehe
In contrast, the stall owners in this kind of open-air market have become more united because there are no walls to separate them. The conditions in the Saint-Ouen flea market may be better, but there really lacks the harmony and mutual assistance between neighbors. .
Yang Jing walked into the market with more and more people, and suddenly, familiar noises filled his ears.
Yang Jing can even hear many voices from the motherland. Without him, the main source of tourists for the Wanfer flea market is East Asia and Southeast Asia. In recent years, with the rapid growth of China's economic strength, tourists from China have become the main source of tourists from European and American countries.
Because of its good law and order, the Wangfer flea market has long had an excellent reputation among Chinese tourists. Almost 50% of the Chinese tourists who come to Paris will choose to choose a day to visit the Wanfer flea market.
Because of the cognitive relationship, the development of flea markets in China is not very prosperous. Even if there are, most of them are flea markets for children formed spontaneously by adults with their children, plus some college flea markets. The main mode of operation in that market is also barter, and most of them are children's toys, books, second-hand books, computers and other things that cannot be taken away by college students after graduation.
But the flea markets in Europe and the United States are different. The flea markets here are real flea markets. There are almost no such markets in China, so domestic tourists are very rare of this kind of flea market.
Although the Vanves flea market may not look like a big one, there are quite a few people, and it is definitely not an exaggeration to describe it as a crowd of people.
Yang Jing walked slowly with the flow of people, and when he saw something good, he stopped to take a look or touch it.
Along the way, Yang Jing has seen furniture with a history of more than 200 years. Of course, those furniture are not furniture from nobles or royal families. Most of these furniture are furniture accumulated by ordinary people, so the price is not considered. Very tall and friendly.
Yang Jing also saw decades-old gramophones, vinyl records, second-hand books, cameras and other old objects. Most of these old things came from ordinary people, and they were not high-quality goods, so they were not expensive.
Yang Jing saw with his own eyes a young man who seemed to be an overseas student bought six second-hand books for only five euros
Of course, if you want to achieve this, you must at least practice the big bargaining method to the point where you can enter the room. Only when you stun the stall owner, you will have the opportunity to win the price you want at a low price. something you want.
This kind of market is full of vitality, and this kind of market is what Yang Jing likes.
Slowly, Yang Jing walked to the middle of the market, where a stall selling second-hand books caught his attention.
