Rebirth Picking Leaks Started in 1992

"Don't disgust me."

Jiang Yuan rolled his eyes at Tan Song and said, "You are a genuine rich second generation, the kind who takes advantage of several coal mines in your family."

Tan Song smiled "hehe" and said, "I'll take it as your promise."

Jiang Yuan said 'hmm' and said no more.

It was slowly approaching two o'clock in the morning, and a dense crowd had gathered around the entrance. They were wearing various masks, and their true faces could not be seen at all.

As soon as two o'clock arrived, I saw several big men in red masks at the entrance taking out a gong and banging it three times.

This is a signal for the market to open.

As soon as the gong sounds, there is a thousand taels of gold!

Everyone rushed towards the entrance.

Jiang Yuan and Zhu Dashan also quickened their pace and squeezed into the entrance among the crowd.

In order not to be separated, Jiang Yuan even held Zhu Dashan's hand...

A full five minutes passed before everyone dispersed on Magnolia Street, which no longer seemed so crowded.

What Jiang Yuan didn't expect was that Tan Song was following closely behind him and Zhu Dashan.

Standing on the street and taking a deep breath, Jiang Yuan slowly closed his eyes, gently rubbed his temples, and did a set of eye exercises on the spot.

Next, it’s time to test your eyesight!

When I opened my eyes again, the entire Magnolia Street seemed to have turned into a Milky Way, filled with countless stars.

The shiny ones are naturally antiques.

I looked around, but there was no sign of Mr. Ma and his group of men.

Tan Song rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "Jiang Yuan, let's start from the first stall?"

Jiang Yuan gave Zhu Dashan a "pay attention to your surroundings" look, and then walked quickly deeper into Magnolia Street.

Jiang Yuan walked past more than a dozen stalls without stopping.

In fact, there are a lot of real things in these stalls, but... they are not worth buying for Jiang Yuan. After all, there is only so much money, and it must be spent on really good things.

After walking nearly a hundred meters, Jiang Yuan suddenly stopped, then walked quickly towards a stall next to him, and squatted down.

Zhu Dashan stood behind Jiang Yuan, scanning the surroundings with vigilance.

Tan Song squatted next to Jiang Yuan, obviously not planning to 'pick up the leak' on his own.

Seeing someone squatting in front of the stall, the stall owner wearing a white mask was not too excited. He just nodded lightly and said, "You have a look first."

This is the characteristic of the ghost market. Buyers are confident in their own strength, and sellers are also confident in their own goods.

Of course, this does not mean that there are no fakes in the ghost market. On the contrary, there are many high-quality imitations and even fake ones.

Jiang Yuan's eyes fell on a short knife.

This short knife is about twenty centimeters including the handle. The handle is made of mutton-fat white jade and is carved into the shape of a horse's head.

The blade is long and narrow, but extremely sharp and sharp, showing a breathtaking cold light. There are also layers of wavy texture on it, which looks extremely beautiful.

There is also a scabbard next to it, which is silver-gray and has the same wavy pattern.

Tan Song's eyesight is not weak, but he is not sure whether this thing is old or new.

After all, the mutton-fat white jade coating on the handle is not very thick, and the blade is brand new.

Jiang Yuan slowly stood up and extended his right hand to the stall owner.

The stall owner also stretched out his right hand and shook Jiang Yuan's hand, then took out a black cloth from his arms with his left hand and covered their hands.

Seeing the black cloth change its shape, Jiang Yuan shook his head gently, "This is indeed a Damascus horse-head sword from the Qianlong period."

"But this is imported from abroad, and to collectors in the circle, its value is far less than our own."

"I also thought about buying it for self-defense. After all, this thing is resistant to manufacturing and it's not easy to sell, otherwise you wouldn't be able to show it off."

The stall owner still shook his head, "This knife has some meaning. It was a tribute from foreigners to the eighth prince of Emperor Qianlong."

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but chuckle, "Can you prove it?"

Seeing that the stall owner didn't speak, Jiang Yuan stretched out his hand and shook it with the stall owner, covered it with a black cloth and changed his gesture.

"The most I've seen is this price. It's really for self-defense. Believe it or not, if you can't bear to part with it, just keep it for yourself."

Seeing that the stall owner didn't speak, Jiang Yuan let go and motioned for Tan Song and Zhu Dashan to leave together.

"Okay, deal."

Jiang Yuan said "hmm" and quickly took out a five hundred bill and handed it to the stall owner.

The first big leak was picked up successfully.

Tan Song's face was full of doubts. He waited until he was far away before asking, "This thing is not easy to sell, Jiang Yuan. How can you buy such an off-the-beaten-path item for such a high price?"

Jiang Yuan smiled and shook his head, "Didn't I just say that I bought it for self-defense."

"Also, this short knife is more valuable than you think."

"If you don't believe me, come and see, in a few years, even if I offer 100,000 yuan, you will probably gladly pay for it."

In fact, what Jiang Yuan said was an understatement...

In June 2014, a Qianlong Damascus dagger of the Qing Dynasty that was very similar to this sword was auctioned for 2.8 million.

Moreover, the handle of the knife was made of red rosewood, which was not as precious as the mutton-fat white jade.

Seeing that Jiang Yuan didn't want to explain more, Tan Song rolled his sleeves angrily, "Forget it, I don't like your knife anyway. If the value doesn't increase in the future, don't even think about selling it to me Tan Gulou."

Jiang Yuan nodded noncommittally, put the short knife directly into his arms, and then continued to walk forward.

Suddenly, a figure about 1.7 meters tall flashed in front of Jiang Yuan and accidentally bumped into Jiang Yuan.

This man was wearing a gray suit, but it didn't fit him well and looked a little shaky.

He also wore a black peaked cap and a Mickey Mouse-like mask on his face.

Jiang Yuan didn't pay much attention and continued walking forward.

Something good probably appeared in front of me. There were at least dozens of people stopping in front of a stall.

Across the crowd, Jiang Yuan could still see a strong light flashing continuously.

"Come on, let's go over and take a look."

Jiang Yuan, Zhu Dashan and Tan Song squeezed into the crowd, and their eyes instantly locked on a porcelain jar on the stall.

This porcelain jar is about forty centimeters high and about three meters in diameter.

About ten centimeters, the upper half is slightly thicker than the lower half, showing a shallower arc.

The mouth of the jar is also about 20 centimeters long, and its cross-section is rough.

There are algae-green sea waves and cinnabar-red fish patterns on the body of the jar. The pattern is full but not chaotic, but somewhat freehand and abstract, not very beautiful.

Jiang Yuan's eyes lit up, he didn't expect to meet such a big treasure.

After listening for a while, Jiang Yuan finally understood why so many people gathered around this stall.

The root cause still lies in this big jar.

The scientific name of this type of porcelain is doucai, also known as "doucai". The most famous one is probably the Ming Dynasty Chenghua doucai chicken cup, which was sold for 280 million at Sotheby's auction house in Hong Kong in 2014.

However, the Doucai porcelain that has appeared in the past is not large in size, and it is generally recognized in the collecting circle that there are no large pieces of Doucai porcelain.

Therefore, when you see a large piece of Doucai porcelain, you will think it is a "fake" modern handicraft.

Even if the coating, craftsmanship, decoration and other conditions are in line with the "old objects", it cannot change the inherent thinking of people in the industry.

It is this matter that everyone is talking about now.

After all, the colorful pots on this stall are really too big!

"If you look at something fake, there's nothing to argue about."

"Yes, how can Doucai porcelain be so big?"

"Don't be fooled by the patina. This is a high imitation, and the level of distressing is relatively high."

But a man squatting in front of the stall didn't think so.

Without saying a word, he slowly stretched out his hand.

The stall owner also took out a piece of black cloth to cover his hand and shook his hand.

Then the stall owner vacated his hands and shook his head. It was obvious that the price quoted by this person was too low.

Tan Song clasped his hands on his chest and leaned lightly against Jiang Yuan, "Isn't this the person who hit you just now?"

Jiang Yuan nodded, "Don't talk, just watch."

"What's there to see?" Tan Song said angrily: "Let's not waste time if we take one look at something fake."

Zhu Dashan gently pulled Tan Song and signaled him not to disturb Jiang Yuan, and at the same time he looked at the people around him warily.

"No, this price is too low."

The stall owner was a little sulky and said, "You don't offer your price sincerely."

The man in front of the stall seemed to be hesitating and didn't speak for a while.

The people watching didn't know what to say.

Is there something wrong with the man in front of the stall? Why did he have to buy this "fake at first sight" thing?

They wanted to persuade me a little more, but it was against the rules.

So I could only call this person stupid in my heart and scold the stall owner for being greedy.

If someone is willing to buy it, you can just sell it, and it’s actually too cheap.

But everyone didn't know that the stall owner was also a little panicked. He actually wanted to say 'deal', but it was rare to find a fool, so he always wanted to try to see if he could get a better price.

In fact, in the stall owner's mind, he also believed that this colorful pot was not an old item.

But the patina, glaze color, etc. were all right, so he thought of bringing it to try his luck. After all, he had it all in his hands for several years.

Unexpectedly, there are fools who really like this thing.
