    Jiang Mingbao said with emotion: "So the antique business is really hard to do. Fortunately, I only focus on calligraphy and painting. I will only accept paintings and calligraphy works if they come over. Even so, I have suffered losses several times."

    Meng Zitao nodded, convinced that despite looking at the antique industry, there seemed to be many people who often picked up the missing pieces and became rich overnight, but in fact, there were many conspiracies and tricks, and some people with evil intentions often took advantage of others' desire to make a fortune.  It¡¯s a scam, so you must be more careful when appraising antiques.

    Half an hour later, Jiang Mingbao¡¯s friend Lu Shanyun arrived. He was very happy after seeing the plum bottle and quickly expressed his gratitude to Meng Zitao.

    "Lao Lu, why do you still make such mistakes?" Jiang Mingbao said with a smile: "If it hadn't been a coincidence today, you would have suffered a big loss."

    Lu Shanyun smiled and said, "Don't mention it. My father-in-law put the wrong box after looking at it. I was drinking with you that day and was so happy that I gave the box to you without checking it."

    Having said this, he thanked Meng Zitao again and said, "Little friend Shi, I heard that you came to Shangluo this time for the Flower God Cup?"

    Meng Zitao nodded and said: "Yes, I came here for the hibiscus flower cup collected by Song Mingyan, but I don't know if he will sell it."

    Lu Shanyun said: "As long as you have enough money or something that can make him excited, he will definitely sell the Flower God Cup."

    Meng Zitao asked: "You mean, it's better to exchange things for things?"

    Lu Shanyun said: "Yes, if you buy it with money, it will whet your appetite. The final cost will definitely be indispensable, it will be at least 50 to 60% more expensive."

    Meng Zitao asked again: "Then what type of antiques does he like?"

    Jiang Mingbao said with a smile: "He collects antiques just to show off and improve his reputation. The rarer things are, the more he likes them. Or if they are utensils used by the royal family, their status in his heart is inherently higher than other things."

    Lu Shanyun took the call and asked, "Do you have any preparations?"

    "No, I originally planned to spend money to buy it."

    Meng Zitao originally had the intention to exchange things for things, but he didn't know what Song Mingyan liked, and it was a bit troublesome to carry items worth millions with him. Since Song Mingyan was greedy for money, he thought he could solve it with money. If it was one or two more expensive  It doesn't matter if he succeeds. Now it seems that Song Mingyan's appetite is greater than he thought, so it must be better to exchange things for things.

    As for Song Mingyan¡¯s appetite, he might as well not change it. This hibiscus cup is not as rare as the osmanthus cup, so he can still find it if he wants to.

    Lu Shanyun said: "Well, let me take you to a place first. If you can't find the right one there, how about I give you one?"

    Meng Zitao said: "That would be too troublesome for you."

    "It's nothing. If it weren't for you, I would have lost a lot."

    Lu Shanyun said: "However, the place I took you to is a little secret, and the origin of the things may be a little shady. If you mind, just go to my house directly."

    Meng Zitao was very interested in these and said quickly: "As long as the things are not stolen or robbed, I won't mind."

    Lu Shanyun said with a smile: "That's not enough. At most, there will only be some 'live pits'. Selling thieves' goods is asking for death. If it's convenient, let's go now?"

    "Okay." Meng Zitao nodded and agreed.

    Jiang Mingbao did not go together because he had other matters.

    While chatting along the way, Lu Shanyun took Meng Zitao to the place he was talking about. This place is relatively remote and the buildings are relatively old. When you walk into the street, you will feel a sense of historical vicissitudes.

    Lu Shanyun introduced to Meng Zitao while walking: "This place is called the 'dark market' in our industry. Although the place is relatively small, the ratio of good things is much more than that on the antique street. It's just that it's not visible here, and there are no acquaintances to bring it."  You can¡¯t find good stuff here, so ordinary people rarely know about this place.¡±

    Meng Zitao listened to Lu Shanyun's introduction and looked around. Along the way, he saw two or three stalls. He glanced at it and found that the things on the stalls were relatively ordinary, most of which were fakes. The stall owners were sitting in front of the stalls doing nothing.  They were doing what they were doing without even looking up even if someone walked by. Meng Zitao was a little skeptical about how many businesses they could make in a year like this.

    Lu Shanyun reminded Meng Zitao to talk as little as possible here, and then took Meng Zitao to a stall.

    ¡°You take your pick, what¡¯s here to catch your eye?¡±

    Meng Zitao glanced at the utensils on the stall and saw that they were the same as those in the stalls just now.; Lu Shanyun nodded: "Is it okay?"

    "Of course it's okay for you, Old Lu, to speak up, but you have to have the money ready." Lao Ba looked at Meng Zitao.

    "Don't worry about that." Lu Shanyun said, "It's best if it's something made by the emperor."

    ???????????????? Lao Ba thought for a while: ¡°It¡¯s made by the imperial family It¡¯s no problem, but the price is really a bit expensive.¡±

    Meng Zitao smiled: "I can still get a few million."

    "Okay, you guys sit here and wait while I go get the things"

    After a while, Lao Ba brought a purple clay pot.

    The pot is square in shape, with the mouth and foot decorated with palindrome prints, making it elegant and luxurious.  The mud color is pure purple, as fine as silk and satin, and the whole body is decorated with gold and silver colors depicting landscapes on one side of the belly, while the other three sides are gold-colored seal scripts with a seven-character poem inscribed by Emperor Qianlong, which complement each other.  Seal script with four characters "Qianlong Year System" in Zuneiyang script.

    Meng Zitao picked up the purple clay pot to examine it. When he saw that there was no problem, he put it back and said, "Please give me a price."

    ¡°Little brother, don¡¯t you need to look at it any more?¡±

    "I believe Boss Eight will not fool me here."

    Lao Ba laughed, and the price given was just what Meng Zitao wanted, and the two parties concluded the deal happily.

    Meng Zitao doesn¡¯t like the atmosphere here very much, and he already got an imperial purple clay teapot when they met for the first time, so don¡¯t think about asking for anything else, otherwise he will look a little greedy.

    So, after Lao Ba and Lu Shanyun chatted for a while, Meng Zitao wanted to propose leaving. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden noise from outside, and then the boss just walked in with seven or eight strong men.  .

    Lao Ba¡¯s face also darkened: ¡°Boss, what¡¯s the matter with you?¡±

    "Are you the old man?"

    The boss must have been reminded, and he didn't look surprised at all. He said, "I took the thing back just now and asked someone to look at it, but it turned out that there was something wrong with it. You are also an old man in the dark market, and you actually want to take it from me."  As a mallet?!"

    Seeing the aggressive attitude of the other party, Lao Ba was not afraid at all, and said calmly: "Boss, where are the things? If you think there is a problem, you can take it back. I won't give you any money back, and I will give it to you again."  Some compensation.¡±

    "I smashed things!" The boss waved his hand: "Smash this place for me!"

    "Wait a minute!" Lu Shanyun stepped forward and asked, "Did everything get smashed?"

    The boss looked at Lu Shanyun and said angrily: "Old man, you were the one who took care of me just now. If you hadn't lived a long time, believe it or not, I would have broken all your bones."

    "Go and find out if I, Lu, will be someone else's trust!"

    Lu Shanyun said: "And I can guarantee with my own life that that big can is definitely genuine and there can be no problem. If you smash it, you will not lose even a little bit."

    Seeing that there was no look of fear on Lao Ba¡¯s face, the boss felt something was wrong in his heart, so he took advantage of these words and said, ¡°Oh, then I want to hear more about how I lost money.¡±

    Lu Shanyun said: "According to the fact that malachite green glaze has been successfully fired in the porcelain capital since the Yuan Dynasty and reached its highest level in Chenghua, the malachite green glaze in the auction is partially yellowed. There is a similar phenomenon in the collection of the British Museum. Lapis gold blue is also known as snowflake blue.  It was created during the Xuande period, and the combination of two glaze colors was an original creation of the imperial kiln factory in the Chenghua period. Due to the difficulty of the process, the high failure rate, and the scarcity of finished products, there are even fewer that have been handed down to this day."

    "Although the condition of your piece is not very good, at least there is not much problem overall. So far, I have not seen any similar collections in China, whether in the auction market, museums, or among the private sector, which shows that it is very good.  It may be an orphan. I don¡¯t need to say more about the value of an orphan."

    The boss said coldly: "After talking for a long time, you still haven't explained how to prove it is true."

    Lu Shanyun said: "This matter is very easy. Since you have smashed the thing, you only need to see how the porcelain pieces are doing. The authenticity will be clear at a glance."

    The boss thought about it and thought that this was the truth. Why didn¡¯t he look at the porcelain tiles just now?  Of course, he would not say this. He waved his hand and said: "You guys come with me." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
