Luo Chen wasn't from Guangzhou. He had moved from his hometown in Jiang Province to Panyu because of his parents 'business.
When their family moved to Panyu, it was not developed yet, and the average price of a house was only two to three thousand yuan per square meter…
Of course, Luo Chen didn't go home. After sending Xiang Zhen to school, he took a bus to Xiguan Antique City.
The West Pass was a very historical place in Guangzhou. The buildings inside retained the style of the West Pass. Of course, it was one of the top ten antique markets in China and the largest antique market in South China. The most important thing was that there was a one-kilometer-long antique street!
Billionaires had been created here, and there were also major events that attracted the attention of the rich…
A businessman from Xiangdao bought a half-cut stone here for 50 million RMB, but in the end, he only got a jade worth less than 10 million RMB…
It was a true hell!
Xiguan Antique City was similar to Panjiayuan in Golden Pupils. There were vendors setting up stalls and shops.
Of course, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to pick up a treasure from a stall.
However, this was also true for others.
At least, Luo Chen was confident when he came over…
As soon as he got out of the car, Luo Chen couldn't wait to enter the antique market. As expected, there were countless " antiques " here!
Most of the neatly placed porcelain looked a little old.
There were also some yellowed paintings that seemed to have a long history.
Of course, there were jade and copper coins. In addition, there were bamboo, wood, teeth, horns, the four treasures of the study, lacquer ware, embroidery, bronze ware, Buddha statues, gilded objects, and some items that could not be accurately categorized such as ornaments, bracelets, walnuts, etc. The biggest feature was that they were easy to handle. Play.
"Handsome, come over and take a look. They're all good stuff!”
"Handsome, come this way!"
It was early in the morning, and there weren't many customers in the Antique City, so Luo Chen's appearance immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Most importantly, Luo Chen looked young and tender, so everyone wanted to have a bite.
Luo Chen stopped in front of the nearest stall. He glanced around and said," Is there anything suitable for Mom and Dad?"”
"Yes, men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha. Look at my place. It's all high-quality jade.”The boss immediately perked up.
Luo Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at the data.
"Dyed jade, produced in Jieyang, quality C, worth 30 yuan.”
"Dyed jade, produced in Jieyang, quality C, worth 50 yuan.”
After all, Luo Chen studied history. He knew that jade was actually divided into jadeite and nephrite. Jadeite referred to jade, which was considered high-grade in modern times. Jieyang was the best place to manufacture jade. It was called the Jade Capital of China!
However, that didn't mean that everything produced in Jieyang was good. There were some processed B, C, and D goods.
Everyone knew that it was good to wear jade on one's body. It could cultivate one's body and prolong one's life.
However, B, C, and D were made by black-hearted businessmen who soaked them in sulfuric acid, sulfuric acid, and sulfuric acid to imitate the ancient color of jade. The surface was then coated with a layer of floor paint, crystal paint, or epoxy…Such jade belts might not be good, but they might cause contact irritation, redness, tingling, itching, peeling, and other symptoms. The chemicals might even enter the body through the skin, which was equivalent to chronic suicide!
"This piece of jade is beautiful. How much is it?”Luo Chen pretended not to understand and pointed at the 30-yuan jade.
"Little…Brother, you know what's good. This is an A-grade live jade from Jieyang. These raw materials are all imported from Myanmar…Of course, we don't sell it at a high price here. One piece is only 3000 yuan!”
Three thousand yuan?
As expected, black-hearted businessmen!
Moreover, he was selling C-grade goods as A-grade goods…
"Forget it, it's too expensive!" Luo Chen immediately shook his head." I'll ask another shop!"”
"Don't go. Didn't I say I'll give you a discount? How about 2500?”The boss immediately shouted.
"500?" Luo Chen slashed.
"Who would bargain like this? Brother, take a closer look. It's crystal clear and cold…This is real living jade.”The boss quickly said, his expression extremely vivid." If this was a shop, it would start at least 5,000!”
It would really be a waste of talent if she didn't go into acting!
Luo Chen's eyes also fell on the crappy jade.
In fact, as his eyes mutated, he could see things more carefully. It was also because of this that he could easily see the patterns and fillings on the jade. He could even see the dye.
Although the craftsmanship was good, a fake was a fake.
However, the boss had a bitter look on his face…He probably saw that he was young and wanted to fool him.
The real A-grade goods were flawed, like the occasional black spot. There were even secondary oxidises in the cracks. These were all natural phenomena!
Therefore, when people bought jade, they must not be fooled, especially those who bought jade at a 10% or 20% discount. The vast majority of them were scammers.
Luo Chen shook his head again." Forget it. I'll look at something else.”
He wasn't in a hurry to leave. Instead, he looked to the side...
"A crude Tang Sancai is worthless.”
"Jingdezhen blue and white porcelain, produced in 2015, worth 200 yuan.”
They were all fake and old.
"How about this, brother? Do you want this jade? 800!" The boss held the jade in his hand." It's not that I want to say this, but it's very difficult for you to find a pendant of my quality here. Moreover, it's definitely authentic. If you don't believe me, there's a jade jewelry shop nearby. You can go and appraise it!”
Luo Chen rolled his eyes. This guy really thought he was a child who didn't know anything.
The antique market emphasized on the balance of money and goods.
As long as you gave the money, even if you bought a fake one, you had to bear with it.
Of course, if you found something good, the stall owner couldn't say anything.
Luo Chen continued to shake his head." No, it's too expensive. I'll change it…I only brought 200 yuan with me today!”
"Didn't you say 500 just now? Why is it 200?”
"I was just trying to make a counter-offer just now. I didn't really want to buy it!”Luo Chen said with a smile.
"So you're here to make fun of me?" The boss was instantly furious." Go, go, go. If you're not buying, then don't stay here and delay my business!”
"Don't worry, I think this red Ting looks good. Although it's a C grade product, it should be able to fool us if we give it away!”Luo Chen picked up a red pendant from the pile of jade and said to the owner," Are you selling it for 100 yuan?”
However, the owner snatched the jade away." I'm not selling it. This is the highlight piece of our shop. You want to buy it for 100 dollars? No way!"
This boss was definitely the best actor!
However, Luo Chen really wanted to buy this piece of jade…
"Alright, then I'll go to other places to take a look.”Luo Chen turned to leave.
"Little…Brother, don't go!" The boss shouted," If you really want it, give me a good price. 200 yuan. How about that?”
This profiteer actually wanted to squeeze him dry?
"It's expensive. It's 150 yuan at most. I still have to save some money for a taxi home!”Luo Chen frowned.
The boss looked like he was about to cry." I've never seen you haggle like this…150 it is. I'm unlucky!"”
Then, he threw the jade to Luo Chen, who scanned the code and paid for it.
However, Luo Chen didn't know that the boss was overjoyed.
These jades of his were sold wholesale. The average price of a piece of jade was 15 yuan, but now it was sold for 150 yuan…He could even add a chicken drumstick for lunch!
However, if the boss was happy, Luo Chen was even happier!
This was the first time in his life that he had succeeded in picking up a treasure…
