As soon as the genius dawned, Jin Muchen had already arrived at Pan@jiayuan. From a distance, he saw the gray wall at the entrance. Looking at the Pan@jiayuan flea market written on it, a few gilded characters made his heart feel warm for a while. (Baidu search network updates the fastest and most stable)
For any Chinese who are engaged in the antique industry, or collectors who love Chinese antiques, Pan@jiayuan is definitely an uncompromising holy place in the hearts of big guys!
Over the years, with the increasing popularity of antique collections in China, many big cities in China have established their own antique markets, but there is absolutely no one that can achieve the fame of Pan@jiayuan.
This area, which covers an area of less than 50,000 square meters, gathers 4,000 large and small businesses, as well as countless small shacks. There are tens of thousands of people who seek a living here every day.
And the number of people who visit here every day is more than one million people. It is no wonder that this place is rated as the antique trading center in Asia by the American Antique Collection Magazine.
Jin Muchen let out a long sigh, and then slowly walked into the market with the flow of people.
Although it was only after six in the morning, the market had already begun to come alive. Tourists from all over the country, and even from all over the world, began to walk slowly into this treasure sanctuary.
Entering the market, there was a lot of people everywhere, and the scene that Jin Muchen saw was much more standardized than he imagined.
He had been to this capital many times before, but he was not an antique player at that time, so he had never visited Panjiayuan, but he had heard of the fame here, and even saw it on TV a few times.
But that was all a few years ago. At that time, the Panjiayuan I saw on TV was very messy. There were so many streets, where more formal antique shops gathered, and the rest was the street. roadside stall.
Those roadside stalls looked dirty and messy.
But now that the situation here has been rectified, it has to be regulated a lot, and the whole area has been divided into many multi-functional areas.
It is clearly divided into six operating areas, including the stall area, the ancient building area, the classical furniture area, the modern collection area, the stone carving and stone carving area, and the catering service area.
When entering Pan@jiayuan, the first thing you can see is the street stall area. The street stall area is actually the greenhouse area and some temporary merchants have arrived in the joint operation area.
In the middle of the spacious street is a row of tall open-plan sheds with some fixed booths, and on the edge of the extended sheds, there are some temporary ground-level booths.
There are all kinds of things to buy in it, such as antique furniture, four treasures of the study, ancient books and paintings, old books and periodicals, agate jade, ceramics, Chinese and foreign coins, bamboo and wood bone carvings, shadow puppet masks, Buddhist tokens, national costumes and clothing, cultural relics, etc.
As long as you can think of it, you can find everything here, but most of the things bought at these stalls are modern imitations, even if there are some old ones, they are also post-liberation. Counted as play and collectibles.
Jin Muchen looked around for a while and was a little dazzled. After reading a lot of things, he felt that he liked them very much, and he bought one or two of them.
It’s not quite the same as the antique market in the original imagination. The things here are not as expensive as imagined, and the stall owners are not as treacherous as the antique novels they have read before. They obviously know what they are buying. So not too foolish.
Therefore, Jin Muchen chose to buy two pieces of handicrafts that he could see, and soon there were countless bags of different sizes in his hands.
He plans to bring all these things back to the United States. He plans to open an antique store, but the store can't sell all antiques, right?
Even if he wanted to, it would be impossible to fill his store with 100% genuine products, right? After all, he is an antique store, not a museum, so there are so many genuine items, and by the way, there must be some handicrafts to support the scene.
After all, for those foreigners, they can't tell whether all the antiques in your store are real, and as long as they like these small objects, they will never be willing to pay.
So things like Heng@shui's snuff bottle, Yangliuqing's New Year pictures, Jiang@su's embroidery, Dong@yang's woodcarving, Qu@yang's stone carving, Shan@dong's shadow play, Jiang@xi's porcelain and crystal ornaments, Yi@ Xing's purple sand, Shaan@xi bronze ware, Yun@nan clothing, Xi@Tibetan Buddhist supplies, Xin@Xinjiang white jade, Taiwan@Taiwan's Jiaozhi pottery, etc.
As long as the workmanship is exquisite enough, Jin Muchen can like it. He buys a few of each, and then asks the store to pack them and send them to his hotel.
When he buys things, he rarely bargains. Basically, he is optimistic about the price. The store also likes to deal with buyers like him, so he basically responds to his delivery requirements.
After shopping in the morning, Jin Muchen can be said to have gained a lot, but he spent a lot of money. He spent more than 100,000 yuan in the morning. Basically, all the stall owners in the area he visited know that this is a powerful man. the gold lord.
At noon, I went to the dining area, and I found a shop to have a meal, and continued to visit in the afternoon.
The capital in May is just in the early summer season. The temperature is neither too high nor too low. It is most suitable for outdoor activities. Today's weather is exceptionally good. It is rare to see no smog.
But in the afternoon, his goal changed. Instead of concentrating on the stall area in front, he went to the collection area in the back.
The buildings here are all antique-style buildings with blue bricks and gray tiles. There is no clutter in front. On both sides of the street, there are antique shops that are open to each other. The things sold in this shop are different from those in the front.
Those in the front are all handicrafts, and most of the items sold here are genuine collections. Of course, there will inevitably be some fakes mixed in with fish and dragons. At this time, it is necessary to examine the buyer's eyesight.
If you have real skills, it is possible to get good things here, but if your eyesight is not enough, then you will be fooled, which is inevitable.
Anyway, the rule here is to buy and leave, but there is no reason why you can return fake products like in the United States.
The shops in the front near the stall area are generally two-story buildings, while in the back streets, they are basically bungalows, but these bungalows are also in the style of antique buildings, basically with gray walls and blue tiles. Full of antique charm.
Basically, every street-facing store is a store, and some of these stores will put some collections in cabinets and place them at the door to attract customers, while others directly open the door so that people passing by outside can see the inside at a glance. Case.
Jin Muchen didn't go into every store either. Usually, he chose to wait and see at the door. Only when he saw something with jewels would he enter the store to take a serious look.
If you don’t find it, you won’t go in. There are so many shops here. After all, it’s impossible for every shop to have a treasure that can be counted. Look at the horses and flowers.
He didn't stop until he came to the door of a store called Yuezhixiang. The name of this store is very interesting. Just by looking at the name, you should be able to guess that the owner came from the Lingnan area.
This is not unusual, you must know that more than 60% of the operators of this Pan@jiayuan are from 28 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions outside the capital, involving Han, Hui, Manchu, Miao, Dong, Uyghur, Mongolian, North Korea and more than a dozen ethnic groups.
Therefore, Jin Muchen was not surprised by the origin of the boss, what he was surprised by was the things sold in this store.
You must know that Panjiayuan has everything you can buy. It can almost be said to cover 100% of the range of Chinese cultural relics, such as beautiful porcelain, jade, magic tools, and ethnic tokens. You can find everything here, but it is sold alone. There are not many shops for overseas antiques.
The things bought in this hometown of Guangdong in front of him are very unique. Jin Muchenguang glanced at the store from the door and found several things that interest him.
For example, the lighters on the Bogu shelf, although they look a bit nondescript, the light that flashes on the lighters really tells Jin Muchen that these are all good things.
"Welcome, the boss can look at it casually, just say hello to me if you see it."
The owner is a young man in his thirties, with a medium build and a distinct Lingnan accent in Mandarin. Jin Muchen smiled at him, and then came directly to the Bogu shelf where the lighter was placed.
"Boss, take that lighter down and take a look."
Jin Muchen pointed to a porcelain lighter on Bogu's shelf and said to the boss, the boss's eyes lit up when he saw that he was so straightforward, he should be someone who knows everything.
"Boss, you are really insightful! This is a baby~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This is just an American famous brand Evans copper tire enamel lighter. It has a history of hundreds of years. Now there are not many in the world, and it is well maintained. Very good, Hezhibao uses kerosene and flint, and now it's just a little bit, it's definitely a good thing worth collecting!"
As the boss introduced it with a smile, he took down the copper enamel lighter from the Bogu shelf.
This lighter is not small in size, the height is similar to that of an ordinary cigarette case, and the width is slightly narrower. It is just a good object to play with in the hand.
The ignition device at the top and the base at the bottom are all made of gilt bronze, and in the middle is an olive-shaped round pot with its head and tail removed. .
It's very smooth and smooth, and it feels very good. It seems that the previous owner should often play with it in his hand. It is definitely a very good boutique item!
Jin Muchen held it in his hand and played with it for a while. It felt heavy in his hand and seemed to use very solid materials. The more he played, the more he liked it! R1152
