That night, the ghost market opened. At three o'clock in the morning, Yang Chen quietly came to the market outside the Peace Sect.
After strolling around, Yang Chen picked up a few ancient jade articles.
Yang Chen didn't use carbon goggles because he found that the old objects in this year were almost non-existent.
"Little brother, I have an old item that you're interested in…"
The person who came forward to talk to him was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.
After seeing the person clearly, Yang Chen's first glance was: "How did his parents give birth to this guy? He had shifty eyes and looked like an enlarged version of a mouse.”
"Where is it?"
"In the alley next door. Little brother, don't be nervous. I guarantee that they are all good things…"
"Alright, lead the way."
Two minutes later, the two of them walked into a dead end.
Yang Chen was not worried about the other party's black and white, because if it was really like that, the other party would not know how he died.
"Little brother, look, these are all good old things…This is a blue and white dragon pattern nectar vase, from the Kangxi era; This was the Five Beasts Eight Trigrams Bowl from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. And this, a bronze ware with inscriptions. Little brother, you should know its value, right?”
The other party was obviously an expert.
After taking out the carbon goggles from his pocket without leaving a trace, Yang Chen calmly said: "Can you fight?"
"Please handle it gently, little brother."
"Of course."
Ten seconds later, a message appeared on the lens of the carbon monocle."One year."
"Damn it, so this is a fake…"
After checking all the items one by one, they all had one thing in common: "The age limit is not more than one year."
"Isn't this too fake?"
"Little brother, you? That's impossible. Could it be that I've been deceived?”
"Brother, are you bullying me because I'm young? None of these things are more than a year old. You must have faked them yourself, right?”
Hearing Yang Chen's words, the old man was slightly embarrassed, but he was not angry or nervous.
This also showed that the old man had been in the counterfeit industry for a long time and had a good psychological quality.
"Little brother, I was wrong. How about this, I'll take out an authentic piece, and you can give me some as an apology. What do you think?”
"Oh? What authentic?"
"Ming, Wanli era palace yellow rosewood cabinet, dragon and phoenix auspicious, just a pair, what do you think?”
If it was really as the other party said, Yang Chen really did not come in vain tonight.
Among antique calligraphy and painting, Yang Chen liked porcelain, calligraphy and painting, as well as antique furniture.
Before crossing over, Yang Chen had seen such a report on the Internet: "A large cabinet of yellow rosewood from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty was actually auctioned for a sky-high price of 57 million.”
"Brother, I have a business here. I'll give you 50 cents to 5 yuan for each of these things. I wonder if you're interested?”
"You want me to help you mass produce fake antiques? No, I have my own principles. I won't cheat the poor.”
"What if we sell it to foreigners?"
"Are you really not joking with me?”
"Tomorrow afternoon, we'll meet in the small forest beside the local temple outside the city.”Speaking of this, Yang Chen took out a stack of money and tickets to the other party.
Not waiting for the other party to refuse, Yang Chen had already turned around and left.
Yang Chen was not afraid that the other party would take the benefits and go far away. Even if that was the case, Yang Chen would just throw it away.
Thinking of the special period in a few years, Yang Chen had to arrange in advance.
What?
As long as they planned it well, no one would notice the problem.
Yang Chen's second thought was,"Many foreigners have used cheap prices to buy antique calligraphy and paintings from Yan Huang country, and finally shipped them abroad to sell at a high price.”
Based on this, Yang Chen intended to use the fake antiques to make a profit and harm those foreigners.
The next afternoon, Yang Chen found the old thing and the little thing, and then the three of them went to the small forest near the Earth Temple outside the suburbs.
About half an hour later, a series of light footsteps sounded in the small forest.
"Elder brother, since you've come, why do you need to hide? Even if I have ill intentions towards you, I don't think I would do it so openly.”
"Hmm? Are you an old thing? You father and son and him? Hehe, I see. It seems that this little brother is not simple.”
"Wood Yang, Yang Chen, may I ask elder brother?”
"We might have been a family five hundred years ago. My name is Yang Shu, and my nickname is Old Rat.”
Since the matter was clear, Yang Chen did not want to hide it.
"Old Rat, as long as you promise to help me mass produce all kinds of antique calligraphy and paintings, I'll give you money, tickets, and meat. Of course, if you have the real thing, I'll buy it according to the market price. What do you think?”
"Are you sure you won't use the counterfeit I made to deceive the people?”
"I can guarantee that."
"Alright, let's try to cooperate for a while first.”
"In the future, the old thing and the little thing will be my contacts. If you have anything, just look for them. Old Rat, I'm very interested in the furniture you mentioned last night.”
Yang Shu did not refuse and led the three of them in a direction. About half an hour later, the four of them arrived at a small farmhouse outside the suburbs.
"I'm not bragging, but I don't think there are more than five of them in the country. Most importantly, after many years of maintenance, this thing's appearance can be said to be perfect…"
Old Rat said as he took out a key to open a door.
Walking into the room, two large cabinets on the left and right quietly attracted Yang Chen's gaze.
The emperor of the Qing Dynasty loved red sandalwood, while the royal family of the Ming Dynasty loved yellow rosewood and golden nanmu.
The old thing and the little thing held a flashlight in one hand and a magnifying glass in the other to examine the object carefully. Two minutes later, the two of them nodded to Yang Chen to confirm.
"Old rat, name your price. I'll take the item.”
"One pig per large cabinet, plus 200 catties of white flour.”
"If I give you half a cow, can you finish it all by yourself?”
"A pig and 50 pounds of beef. Why do you care how I eat? Bring the food over and move the cabinet away.”
"Wait, someone will send it over tonight.”
Yang Chen did not bargain with the old rat because these two big cabinets were too worth it.
The old rat did not say it clearly, but Yang Chen was tacitly aware: "These two large cabinets in front of me were used by the emperor during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.”
This point alone was enough to make Yang Chen's heart flutter.
