Rebirth Picking Leaks Started in 1992

Chapter 450

"Look again, this stall is quite impressive."

Jiang Yuan pointed to a stall a few meters away. At this time, several customers were wandering in front of the stall.

Jiang Yuan lowered his voice and said to Zhang Wengang:

"What do you think?"

Zhang Wengang thought for a moment and whispered:

"There are a lot of people in front of this stall, which means it's very popular. Maybe the stuff at this stall is better than other stalls, or maybe the boss is honest."

Jiang Yuan chuckled lightly, "Look carefully. Although the people in front of the stall are just looking at things, they don't look at anything for more than two or three times."

"Do you always feel a little absent-minded?"

Zhang Wenggang nodded, a little confused, "Do you have any explanation?"

Jiang Yuan nodded, "If you encounter such a situation in the future, stay away."

“These few people and the stall owners are all in the same group, they are what we often call ‘trustees’. If you show interest in something, they will compete with you to agree to it, and they will compete with you to buy it.

"

"What would you do if you didn't know?"

Zhang Wen just remembered that he almost suffered a big loss yesterday, and suddenly realized.

"It's easy to be misled, thinking that you've encountered some great treasure, and then you will definitely pay a higher price to get it."

Jiang Yuan nodded, "Such routines can be found everywhere, including in our Binhai antique circle."

"So, be more careful."

After saying that, Jiang Yuan took Zhang Wengang forward and stopped in front of this stall.

Zhang Wenggang was immediately stunned. Didn't he say that he should stay away when encountering such a situation?

Seeing Jiang Yuan standing still in front of the stall, the stall owner suddenly laughed.

Several other people also took something each and pretended to study it seriously.

Jiang Yuan's eyes fell on a small silver-gray wine bottle.

This small hip flask was hammered out of a solid piece of silver. You can still see the traces of manual hammering. Judging from the patina and oxidation marks, it is estimated that it must be from the Qing Dynasty.

It is engraved with exquisite peony patterns, which looks exquisite and elegant.

The stall owner smiled and said:

"I spent a lot of effort to get this thing."

"The original owner's ancestor was an official, and I heard he was ranked second in the rankings and a scholar."

"It's just that later on, my family fell into decline, and there weren't many good things left in the family, just one or two."

"See, little brother, you are also an elegant person. Take this silver pot back, it would be most suitable to put it in the study."

Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded, "How to say?"

The stall owner smiled and said, "You are a knowledgeable person. I won't make random bids. Eight hundred."

"Wait a minute," a middle-aged man with a big belly put down what he was holding and frowned at the silver pot in Jiang Yuan's hand, "Can you let me take a look first?"

The stall owner suddenly looked embarrassed and said, "Sorry, according to the rules, we have to wait until I finish talking with this little brother."

Jiang Yuan smiled.

"Eight hundred is too expensive, I can only see fifty?"

The stall owner suddenly frowned, shook his head and sighed:

"It seems that the fate between my little brother and this baby is still a bit different."

Hearing this, the man next to him quickly said:

"Let me see!"

As he said this, he took the silver pot, looked at it several times, and looked overjoyed.

"Things from the Ming Dynasty! What a treasure!"

When Jiang Yuan heard this, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

The acting skills of this 'shill' are also terrible.

Being a ‘sitter’ is not something you can just do if you want to, you have to at least know the ropes, right?

A kid like Zhang Wengang could probably tell that this silver hip flask was from the Qing Dynasty, but this middle-aged man said it was from the Ming Dynasty.

But think about it

, Only those who have no skills need to do these tricks to deceive people to make money. Those who are really capable and set up street vendors have already been picked up and missed.

It is estimated that the stall owners would never have thought that there would be a really good old item in their stall.

After all, these things are collected from scraps.

At this time, the other two stooges also spoke.

In a few words, they all showed their willingness to buy this thing and kept raising the price.

The stall owner couldn't care less about the rules and listened to several people constantly quoting prices. Of course, he also observed Jiang Yuan's face from time to time.

According to his idea, Jiang Yuan should be very excited to participate in the quotation.

But Jiang Yuan always had a smile on his face and didn't look at all excited.

"One thousand! I want to order this baby!"

"One thousand and one!" The other person stared, "Of course the baby will be given to the one with the highest price, we are competing fairly!"

"Don't make any noise, Qian Er, I will order this!"

Jiang Yuan: "Fifty, whether you like it or not."

Seeing Jiang Yuan turning around to leave, the stall owner and the several sitters looked at each other in confusion.

"Sell!"

The stall owner gritted his teeth and said:

"Pay the money!"

Jiang Yuan happily took out fifty yuan and handed it to the stall owner, then picked up the silver wine pot, hummed a little tune and walked away.

Zhang Wen just turned around and glanced at the few people who were still in a daze, with puzzled faces on their faces.

"Sir, I think this hip flask is real."

Jiang Yuan nodded, "It's indeed true."

"Then why did the stall owner want to sell?"

Jiang Yuan laughed and said:

"The stall owner's level is not as good as yours."

"If he could tell the authenticity, he wouldn't have to set up a stall here."

Zhang Wengang also smiled and asked, "What's the value of this wine flask?"

After all, it was bought for fifty yuan. Zhang Wengang felt that the value of this thing was only a few hundred yuan at most.

Doubling it several times is already pretty good.

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "The value is not high, it is still worth a few thousand."

"The verses engraved on this wine pot are worth the money."

Zhang Wengang was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red with excitement.

As expected of the person he wanted to become his disciple, he caught the opportunity so easily, and his fifty yuan instantly doubled dozens of times.

He is worthy of the title of the King of Binhai Leak Picking!

Jiang Yuan suddenly said in a deep voice:

"Antiques are a hobby and can be treated as a career, but collecting must be out of love. The most important thing about picking up antiques is a sense of accomplishment. Don't put the value first."

"In this way you will forget your original intention and lose yourself."

"The more you focus on money, the worse you will suffer."

"The secret of picking up leaks is to test your own ability."

"Do you understand?"

Zhang Wengang nodded as if he understood, "I remember."

Jiang Yuan said 'hmm' and suddenly saw a large group of people surrounding him not far away.

After getting closer, Jiang Yuan suddenly smiled.

Zhang Wengang looked at a small stall owner surrounded by a crowd and didn't understand what Jiang Yuan was laughing at.

It turned out that the stall owner turned out to be Xiao Fang, the same person who wanted to buy the two huanghuali chairs at Wang Jun's house with Jiang Yuan yesterday.

Jiang Yuan saw Wang Jun's trick to deceive people and left directly.

Xiao Fang thought he had got a treasure. After buying it, he came to the market to set up a stall, intending to sell it immediately to make a profit from the price difference.

He didn't know that the items had been stolen by Wang Jun when he went to get the money.

From yesterday to now, some people have come to inquire about the price, but in the end there was no deal.

Until just now, a collector specializing in antique furniture

Players pointed it out and said this thing was fake.

Xiaofang immediately became angry. How could the chair he spent most of his net worth on be fake?

In fact, that Wang Jun really had some brushes, and these two chairs were imitated with such high technical content that, for someone like Xiao Fang, there was really no trace of the fakery.

The quarrel attracted many onlookers, whose achievements in the antique business were mixed.

Of course, some of them are discerning and say that these two chairs are wrong.

Xiao Fang also began to realize that he might have really been blinded.

But he couldn't accept this fact and kept trying to sell the two chairs.

Even if you don’t make money, as long as you don’t lose money!

But now no one dares to buy it.

At this time, Xiaofang looked through the crowd and saw Jiang Yuan standing outside the crowd.

He looked overjoyed, pushed through the crowd, walked to Jiang Yuan, and grabbed Jiang Yuan.

"Brother, you were also present when Wang Jun collected things that day."

"You also wanted to buy these two chairs at that time, right?"

Jiang Yuan nodded and did not deny the matter.

Xiao Fang continued:

"These two chairs are genuine huanghuali, old objects from the Qing Dynasty, right?"

This time, Jiang Yuan did not express his position.

Xiao Fang's heart thumped, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.

He still had the last bit of luck and unwillingness, "That's it! I bought it for fifteen thousand and sell it to you for thirteen thousand!"

Jiang Yuan looked at Xiao Fang expressionlessly and wrote lightly:

"Since you are in the antique business, you have to rely on your own ability to make a living."

"If you get an eye injury, you have to bear it yourself."

"If you can't afford it, quit the industry immediately and change your profession honestly."

Jiang Yuan's words made many old players nod.

Yes, which old player in the industry has not come from the experience of being blinded again and again?

No one can survive in the antiques business smoothly.

Xiao Fang was completely desperate, his face was ashen, he sat down on the ground, patted his thighs and cried loudly.

"My money!"

"Damn Wang Jun! Bastard, I'm going to kill him!"

"Fifteen thousand, how many years have I been saving!!"

Xiao Fang cried bitterly, and some people tried to comfort him, but most of them looked at him expressionlessly.

Suddenly, Xiao Fang suddenly raised his head and looked at Jiang Yuan with tears in his eyes.

"You must be in the same group as Wang Jun, you are the one he is looking for!"

"Otherwise, you won't make an offer in the first place, and you won't buy it later!"

Xiao Fang stood up angrily and rushed forward to grab Jiang Yuan's neck.

"You pay me back!"

Jiang Yuan frowned, "Don't make me angry."

Xiaofang ignored it, grabbed Jiang Yuan's collar, and glared angrily, "If you weren't asking for it, then you must have seen that this thing is fake! Why didn't you remind me!"

Jiang Yuan looked at Xiao Fang indifferently.

Being stared at by Jiang Yuan's eyes, Xiaofang trembled subconsciously.

But the pain of losing fifteen thousand yuan immediately overwhelmed the fear in his heart.

Not to mention being intimidated by Jiang Yuan, as long as he can get more than 10,000 yuan back, it would be worth having his legs broken!

At this time, many people looked at Jiang Yuan with some suspicion.

According to what Xiao Fang said, Jiang Yuan was also present when he bought these two chairs, and Jiang Yuan just admitted it.

Moreover, it was Jiang Yuan who said he wanted to buy it first.

This... there is a high probability that it is a scam.
