    Wei Zhou has been doing business in the antique street for several years. The reason why his business has been tepid has something to do with his stingy character. He will make more money if he can.

    It¡¯s normal to have this idea when doing business, but the key is to treat people in the industry who know the goods the same way. This is just looking for trouble.

    Just like the incense box in front of him, Meng Zitao knew its value, and Wei Zhou also knew that Meng Zitao knew it. He also gave a price of 6,000, and had to bargain several times in the end. No matter who it was, he would not be happy.  .

    Wei Zhou counted the money with a smile and asked: "Shopkeeper Meng, are there any you like?"

    Meng Zitao smiled and nodded: "Then I'll take a look."

    "Here we are, I can't let you miss it this time!" Wei Zhou's heart moved and he said with a smile: "Okay, you can see."

    Meng Zitao first glanced at the things on the stall, and finally fell in love with the pile of jade articles on the right, and then looked through them.

    The first thing Meng Zitao got started with was a piece of flaky jade figure, sitting cross-legged with its legs crossed, and its hands naturally hanging down to its feet.  The face has thick eyebrows, big eyes, a Ruyi-shaped nose, high cheekbones and a wide mouth.  The facial features of the eyelids feel relatively delicate, with faintly visible lines, simple and stretched.  Wearing a robe with a right hem, it is decorated with large and small squares and triangular brocade patterns. The costume is gorgeously carved and gives people the feeling of silk and satin texture.

    Judging from the elegance and joy of the character's expression, there is no doubt that this person must be a noble.

    "However, the jade of this jade figure is very calcified, and the surface is mottled and a bit rustic, but it does not look like it was just unearthed. It looks like it has been unearthed for a while.

    In addition, judging from the characteristics of calcification, this should be an authentic product, because the degree of calcification and the chemical composition of the soil that caused calcification are very complex, and the authentic product should behave like this.

    The reason why we say this is because the organic matter contained in the soil must be diverse. During the burial process of thousands of years, the corrosion of jade articles should also be diverse.  For example, if the soil contains copper, green copper will appear; if the soil contains mercury, black mercury will appear; if the soil contains cinnabar, pink cinnabar will appear.

    ¡°And if it is modern antique jade, the color on the surface is very simple, consistent in color, with no change in shades. This kind of color looks ¡°dazey¡±, and connoisseurs will know at a glance that it is old.

    From the color, Meng Zitao can basically tell that this is a genuine product.  Moreover, his eyesight is now astonishing. Even without using it, he can see the thin yin line with the characteristics of the Warring States period, and he performs it skillfully and accurately.  The Yin line is shallow, thin and elastic, which is different from modern imitations.

    ¡°Then, Meng Zitao quickly observed it again and put the jade article back.

    Next, Meng Zitao picked out a few things from the stall, looked at them, and then selected three things, including beauties, which was his original goal.

    "Just these three, how much do they cost?" Meng Zitao asked.

    Wei Zhou looked at the things Meng Zitao picked out and seemed a little embarrassed, because he didn't fail to see that there was anything special about these three things. In his eyes, they didn't look like leaks, but he was worried that there were leaks in them.  , looking extremely confused for a moment.

    Seeing that Wei Zhou was silent, Meng Zitao knew what he was thinking and said, "Brother Wei, is there any problem?"

    Wei Zhou secretly gritted his teeth, chuckled and said, "It's nothing, just consider it three thousand."

    "Brother Wei, are you right?" Meng Zitao pretended to be a little incredulous: "Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about this square inkstone. Look at the material"

    The buying and selling in the antique market is actually a game that considers the appraisal ability and value judgment of both buyers and sellers.  For a buyer who is proficient in appraisal, the fun is reflected in the game process.

    " Otherwise, it cannot be explained why some big buyers who often spend hundreds or even thousands at auctions show up at antique stalls, or why they would throw it aside or give it to others after picking up a small leak.

    So, after Meng Zitao¡¯s fierce talk, Wei Zhou believed Meng Zitao¡¯s judgment and finally closed the deal for 800 yuan.

    After the transaction was completed, Meng Zitao took the things and walked towards his shop. When he was about to reach his shop, he was suddenly stopped by a young man in his thirties with a smile.

    This man has a light blue birthmark on his face, which looks a little awkward.

    Meng Zitao looked at the young man's somewhat mean smile and said, "Qingpi, why are you stopping me?"

    Qingpi is a second-tier dealer in the antique market. He does a good business by buying low and selling high.

    Speaking of which, Meng Zitao ate it in Qingpi¡¯s hands two years ago.?, something that could be sold for five thousand yuan was bought by Qingpi Babai, even though he also made two hundred yuan.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Qingpi said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Meng, just now I saw that you got a piece of flaky beauty, can you pass it on to me?"

    Meng Zitao was about to refuse directly, but thinking of what happened before, he asked with a smile: "How much can you offer?"

    "Thirty thousand, what do you think?" Qingpi said with a smile.

    Meng Zitao suddenly laughed: "Qingpi, what do you think I am? In 2004, there was a Warring States flaky beauty with similar performance, which was sold for 300,000 yuan. It's been 2009, and it's up to you  Thirty thousand dollars in your mouth? What a joke!"

    After saying that, he ignored the stunned Qingpi and walked directly towards his shop.

    In fact, Meng Zitao also played a trick in his words.  Antiques are often things with similar performance, but the value is very different.  Like the beauty he just bought, its value is much lower than the auction item he said, but if it is processed by him, it can be sold for at least 150,000 yuan. He would be crazy to sell it to Qingpi.

    However, Meng Zitao did not expect that this episode would reach Wei Zhou¡¯s ears and make Meng Zitao hold a grudge.

    Speaking of which, the reason why this happened is because many people in the antique industry are good at creating and spreading rumors. It is no exaggeration to say that the dead can be brought back to life.

    In fact, it is normal to make money by picking up bargains in antique shops. If you don¡¯t make money, how can you do business, and how can you let people collect and invest?  Therefore, people with experience, knowledge, and vision always benefit, and this is true in any industry.

    However, when reselling on the spot, it is very easy for the seller to be confused by misinformed rumors, resulting in a psychological imbalance and feeling that he has suffered a loss. Once a misunderstanding occurs, the knot in the soul will not be easily solved.  Therefore, if you pick something up in the antique market, never turn around and sell it. It is best to keep it in your hands for a while. You must be especially cautious and complete it in a low-key manner to avoid possible negative impacts.

    And Meng Zitao made such a mistake. He was just too happy and did not consider this, so he suffered a small loss.  Later, Wei Zhou also brought him a little trouble, which made him pay more attention in this regard.  This is something for later, let¡¯s not mention it for now.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
