After the wedding.
Xiao Mubai and Cui Lu chose to go abroad for their honeymoon.
The two of them went to Los Angeles for their honeymoon.
After playing for a few days.
Cui Lu excitedly brought Xiao Mubai to the most famous market in the Los Angeles area, the Rose Bowl.
They had just arrived.
"Lulu, aren't we going to the antique market? Why are we at the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium?" Xiao Mubai asked curiously.”
The stadium in front of him was the main stadium of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.
Although this was also a famous tourist attraction.
But this had nothing to do with the antique market.
"What do you know?"
Cui Lu rolled her eyes at her husband and complained,"This is a stadium.
However, on the second Sunday of every month, it would transform into an old goods market.
There was a Panjiayuan in Yanjing, and the most famous antique market in the Los Angeles area was the Rose Bowl!”
"I see!"
Xiao Mubai nodded in realization.
He had no interest in antiques.
Who asked his wife to like him?
Next.
The two of them walked into the stadium and looked around.
At this moment, the stadium had already become a stall.
Antique cameras, antique watches, antique tennis rackets, coffee grinders, old Zippo lighters, telephone sets hanging on the wall with separated earpieces, irons with boiling water inside, advertisements from World War II movies, and so on.
Other than the antiques from America.
There were also old items from all over the world.
"There are so many antiques here. Are there any real cultural relics?" Xiao Mubai asked curiously.”
"Maybe, maybe not.”
"There are many antiques in the rose bowl, but there are very few authentic ones," Cui Lu said truthfully. If one wanted to pick up the leftovers here, one needed a pair of discerning eyes.”
Picking up scraps was a jargon in the antique world.
It meant that he could buy expensive items at a very low price.
As they strolled around.
Cui Lu's gaze was suddenly attracted by a piece of Hetian jade seed from a stall.
She stopped and asked in English,""Boss, how much is this material?”
The owner of the stall was a middle-aged man with a thick beard.
He glanced at the object and said bluntly,"100 dollars. Take it if you want.”
Cui Lu didn't buy it immediately.
Instead, he pointed at the red stone in the corner of the stall and asked,"What about this one?"
"200 dollars!"
the middle-aged man said truthfully.
Cui Lu pointed at a red jade seal on the stall and asked,"What about this one?"
"3000 dollars!"
The middle-aged man smiled and said,"This is a red agate jade seal. If you want it, you can take it for 3000 dollars."”
“NO! NO! NO! This is not the jade seal!"
Cui Lu raised her eyebrows."In professional terms, this should be a red agate seal. It's not as valuable as the jade seal." 2000 USD, I want it!"
"That won't do!"
The middle-aged man shook his head.”
Hearing this.
Cui Lu was not in a hurry.
She started bargaining with the middle-aged man with great interest.
Ten minutes later.
Both sides reached an agreement.
Cui Lu bought a red agate seal, a red stone, and a Hetian jade seed for 2800 USD.
After the money and goods were paid.
Cui Lu took the things and left with a smile.
The middle-aged man smiled as he watched the two of them leave.
He was a professional antique seller.
The cost price of the three items sold just now was only 1000 US dollars.
He sold it.
A net profit of 1800 USD!
The middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh.
It was really easy to earn money in China!
In the words of the antique industry in China.
That was to not open for business for three years, but to open for business and eat for three years!
…On
the other side.
Cui Lu was in a good mood and even hummed a pop song.
"Lulu, is it really worth it for you to spend 2800 dollars on these three things?" Xiao Mubai asked. Don't tell me it's eye-catching?"
Eye-catching was a term used in the antique world.
It meant that if the buyer used a higher price to buy an item that was not worth the price, it meant that he had made a mistake.
Using his eyes to look at the crowd
These three stones were not worth 2800 dollars.
Cui Lu said excitedly,"I run an antique shop. These three items are all good." 2800 USD for three items. I made a killing.”
"Oh? You picked up something?"
Xiao Mubai's eyes lit up.
Cui Lu nodded and said with a smile,"To be more precise, I picked up a big leak!”
She explained to Xiao Mubai,"The Hetian jade seed I bought is smooth and delicate. It's very Han style. The knife is embedded in the jade. It's worth at least a hundred thousand yuan."
The red stone I bought just now also has a very good origin.
This stone was the Chang Hua Chicken Blood Stone.
Judging from the weight, it weighed 11 pounds.
Judging from its age, it was a product of the Republic of China.
Its true value was between two to three million.
As for the red agate seal, it was even more valuable.
In professional terms.
Its name should be the Southern Red Agate Vermilion Bird Seal, and it was worth nearly four million yuan!
Tell me, if I buy an antique worth six to seven million dollars for 2800 dollars, does that count as picking up a bargain?”
"Of course!"
"Lulu, you're so capable!" Xiao Mubai said excitedly.”
He was not from the antique world.
However, he also knew how difficult it was to pick up scraps in the antique market.
His wife, Cui Lu, had such a pair of discerning eyes. She was simply amazing!
…
Next.
Xiao Mubai and Cui Lu continued to stroll around the Rose Bowl.
Most of the stalls were filled with fakes.
Cui Lu did not make a move.
They strolled through the entire old goods market.
In the end, she only bought one item.
A crystal-shaped diamond ring that cost 30 dollars.
On the way back.
"Lulu, didn't I buy you a 700,000 yuan diamond ring when we got married? Why did you buy a fake one now?" Xiao Mubai asked.”
"Who said this is a fake?"
Cui Lu said excitedly,"This is a natural diamond ring. It's worth at least 5 million!”
She looked at the pigeon-egg-sized ring and became more and more excited as she spoke.
Cui Lu said slowly,"This natural ring, the cutting process should be from the 1900s."
The cutting process at that time was not as perfect as it was now, and it covered up the brilliance of the diamond.
Secondly, this diamond was very old. Its surface was covered in dirt and looked foggy.
This caused the stall owner to think that the diamond was fake.
I really picked up a big drop!"
Hearing this.
Xiao Mubai clicked his tongue in wonder.
Once he entered the antique world, it was as deep as water.
Ordinary people would rarely encounter such a thing in their lives.
And today.
His wife, Cui Lu, was crazily picking up the leftovers. She was simply "crazy"!
Actually, what Xiao Mubai did not know was that…
The Xiao family had the support of the family's talent halo.
All family members could double their original talent.
Cui Lu married Xiao Mubai and was already a member of the Xiao family.
She was talented in the field of antiques.
Under the enhancement of the halo.
It was actually reasonable for Cui Lu to pick up the leftovers crazily.
And as time passed.
Cui Lu's talent in the field of antiques would continue to show and she would become a god-like figure in this field!
