Early the next morning, Fang Jinbo went to Bingzhou by car with Tian Sheng, carrying a pair of panda eyes and 5000 yuan savings. The two places are not far away. After more than two hours, they got off at the gate of Bingzhou's largest antique market.
Because of the rush to leave in the morning, they didn't eat breakfast and got out of the car. They were hungry. Just when they saw a small restaurant at the gate of the ancient market, they went in and ordered two snacks. They ate a bowl of hand rolled noodles, filled their stomachs first, and then prepared to enter the market for leak detection.
As soon as he thought that he was going to enter the market, Fang Jinbo's heart became excited. He felt that once he entered the market, there must be a lot of leaks waiting for him to pick them up. In his heart, it was really beautiful!
However, there is an old saying that the ideal is very abundant. Full, the reality is very bony. After visiting several stalls, the two people are still empty handed. Let alone pick up the leak, they almost let the stall owner make a fool of them.
Tian Sheng is very angry about this. He doesn't go to these stalls any more. He leads Fang Jinbo into a small antique shop.
In the antique shop, there is a green glazed hunting pattern Zun of Han Dynasty, which is more than 50 cm high. The glaze color is very beautiful, and the decoration is also very exquisite. Tian Sheng fell in love with it at a glance. When he asked the price, the owner said 8000.
Tian Sheng looked at it for a long time and said, "it's good!"
Fang Jinbo also thinks it's really good. It's a fine piece of Han Dynasty pottery. If it's not expensive, it's definitely right to buy it.
But Tian Sheng put the things back, and then asked Fang Jinbo, "do you like anything?"
Fang Jinbo happened to be reading books on bronzes at that time. He was very interested in bronzes. He looked around for a moment and hesitated and said, "I really like bronzes, but there is no one here."
The shopkeeper of the antique shop said with a smile: "I have bronzes here, but they are all new crafts."
Fang Jinbo was slightly stunned and said, "since it's a handicraft, why do you say it? Do I still spend money on what handicraft I want to buy from you?"
However, he immediately reflected that it's illegal to buy and sell bronzes now. In order to get rid of his responsibility, the shopkeeper of this shop has to say so.
To understand this, Fang Jinbo asked the shopkeeper to take out the things.
There are a lot of bronzes in this shop, but most of them are just coming out, as the shopkeeper just said. The surface is full of rust, and the internal situation is not clear.
After a long time, Fang Jinbo picked a bronze mirror with a little ornamentation.
In fact, his identification of bronzes at that time was Xiaobai, nothing more than to see if there was green rust, blue rust and red spots. Fortunately, in the car before, Tian Sheng just introduced him how to identify bronzes, and let him know that as long as there are green rust, blue rust and red spots on bronzes, nine times out of ten there is no problem.
In fact, the reason why he chose this bronze mirror is that he saw the red spots and green rust on the surface. Another reason is that he could see some decorative patterns on the surface of the bronze ware. Another reason is that the bronze mirror is large enough, with a diameter of 30-40 cm.
When Fang Jinbo thinks that there is nothing wrong with it, he hands it to Tian Sheng and asks Tian Sheng to help him have a look again.
Tian Sheng took things in his hand and asked, "is that what you like?"
Fang Jinbo nodded, then he looked left and right, and finally said, "there's nothing wrong with this thing. It's an old thing that's open to the world, and it's quite big. You can see it now!"
Fang Jinbo was very happy to hear Tian Sheng's praise.
Maybe many of my friends have this kind of experience. When they have just started studying, they buy something and ask their trusted teachers to help them. When the teachers affirm their achievements, they should not be too happy at that time. Fang Jinbo was in a very excited state at that time.
So he asked the boss about the price. The boss looked at him and quoted 8000. Fang Jinbo frowned as soon as he heard it. He only brought 5000 yuan. How can he afford 8000 yuan?
However, before Fang Jinbo's counter-offer, Tian Sheng helped him and said, "no, it's so expensive. This young man has just studied and is still so young. How can he have so much money?"
The shopkeeper said, "my things are very good, and they're still open to customers. I'm cheap for 8000!"
"Even if it's good, your price is too high. We just came back from Beijing a while ago. Your price is higher than that in Beijing."
"Look at the price. It's not very rusty, but it's not rusty. Moreover, it's not easy to find such a large bronze mirror. If I take it, the price is not cheap. If it's lower, I won't lose money. "
"That's not so high. If you do, I'll give you a price. If you don't, it's OK."
So Tian Sheng directly opened 48. The shopkeeper didn't agree. So Tian Sheng took Fang Jinbo by the hand and walked out directly. As he walked, he said, "you don't agree with the price. The price is good enough!"
When they got to the door, the shopkeeper stopped them and agreed.Fang Jinbo had great trust in Tian Sheng at that time, not only for his eyesight, but also for his character. So without second words, he paid the shopkeeper and bought things.
After Fang Jinbo finished his shopping, Tian Sheng took him to other stores. After several stores, Tian Sheng still didn't buy one thing. He said that if he wanted to buy something, he would buy high-quality goods. However, Fang Jinbo felt that Tian Sheng was not willing to spend money.
In this way, when they were about to eat, they came to an antique shop specializing in jade. Tian Sheng first took a fancy to a piece of jade wall and looked at it in his hand for a long time. Then he asked the shopkeeper for something else to see, and the other side took out a yellow jade.
Fang Jinbo didn't know what it was until he came home and saw the relevant books. He didn't know it was a sword, a jade sword at the end of the scabbard.
Fang Jinbo couldn't understand the jade, but he also thought that both the jade and the sword looked strange.
But Tian Sheng looked left and right. After a long time, he asked the shop, "how can I sell this?"
"The price of both items is 20000. If you want all of them, I can cut you 1000."
"It's too expensive. There's another grain in this jade Bi. It's less than 20000 yuan, and there seems to be something wrong with this sword. "
"How much do you think of?"
"Three thousand in all."
"No! No way... "
After bargaining, they finally closed the deal with 12000 yuan.
Coming out of the antique shop, Fang Jinbo asked, "when did this jade jade come from? Is that right? "
"Of course, no, can I buy it? This jade Bi is simple in craftsmanship, exquisite in ornamentation, neat in arrangement and very beautiful. It's not a problem to sell it for 500000 yuan. It's a good one. You can sell it for one million yuan. " The more Tian Sheng said, the more excited he was, as if he had found a treasure.
But Fang Jinbo always thinks it's wrong, so he persuades Tian Sheng to say that there is a shopkeeper who is his friend, so it's better to take it and let his friend have a look. It's safer to see more people.
Tian Sheng thought it was right, so he took the two jades to his friend's shop.
However, after reading it, Tian Sheng's friends said with a smile that Tian Sheng's eyesight was getting worse and worse, and he couldn't even see the fake jade with sulfuric acid.
Fang Jinbo was surprised by Tian Sheng's friend's words. At the same time, he began to doubt Tian Sheng's eyesight. At that time, his face changed.
Out of the store, Fang Jinbo asked Tian Sheng what to do, Tian Sheng generous said nothing, and then go to the store will certainly be able to solve.
So they didn't even eat and went back to the store. When the shop owner saw them coming back, he happily asked them if they had anything else to buy.
Tian Sheng said with a smile: "I'm going to give these two jades to my friend. Just now I showed them to my friend. He said he didn't like them. I can't help it. You can return them for me!"
Fang Jinbo didn't expect Tian Sheng to solve the problem like this. Even if he is a newcomer, he knows that the rule of the trade is that once he has paid for something, it has nothing to do with the seller and can't settle the accounts.
As soon as the shop owner heard this, his face turned black: "I said, you are so old, don't you know the rules?"
"Ha ha, I haven't come out of the market yet. I'm not breaking the rules. Please give me a refund."
"Don't be kidding. Why do you want to quit?"
Since Tian Sheng wants to withdraw, he has to give a suitable reason. For example, something happened at home suddenly and the turnover of funds is out of order. You can't say that I've got an eye on it. You can withdraw it for me.
But Tian Sheng can't say too far, just repeat what he said before, but how can the store return the goods for this reason? After all, it has nothing to do with him.
After nearly an hour of inking with the shop owner, Fang Jinbo was hungry and stuck his chest on his back. Tian Sheng saw that there was no hope of returning the goods, so he had to compromise. But he didn't want to lose 12000 yuan in vain. Seeing a jade pendant on the counter, he wanted the shop owner to give it to him.
The shop owner shook his head: "this censer costs 4000 yuan. How can I give it to you?"
For the sake of this jade pendant, Tian Sheng talked about it for an hour. Finally, the shop owner had no choice, and he knew what he had sold to Tian Sheng before, so he could only agree to give Tian Sheng the jade pendant.
Tian Sheng went out of the door and said to his elated counterpart Jinbo, "although the result is not very satisfactory, it's not a loss. This jade pendant works well and can be sold for thousands of dollars."
After that, no matter what Fang Jinbo's expression was, he led Fang Jinbo to the antique shop where they went for the first time, and pointed to the green glazed hunting pattern Zun of the Han Dynasty, so that the boss could give it to him cheaper.
What Fang Jinbo didn't expect was that, without saying a few words, the store really sold things to Tian Sheng for less than 3000 yuan.
At that time, Fang Jinbo didn't know what was going on. Besides, he was so hungry that he didn't think much about it. When he went back, his friend said that he had lost his bronze mirror, and then he realized what was going on.First of all, although Fang Jinbo's bronze mirror is genuine, it must not cost so much money in terms of the appearance of things. However, Tian Shengming knew the price of the bronze mirror, and let Fang Jinbo deliberately pay a high price. In this way, when he bought the green glazed hunting pattern statue of the Han Dynasty, it was easy for him to bargain. That is to say, he used Fang Jinbo's money to subsidize himself.
