As the saying goes, it is difficult to survive in every profession. If Jiang Ge reminds Shopkeeper Xu, the boss will definitely know about it. These scammers who travel around the world are very shrewd.

Whether you catch someone or be deceived depends on your ability. Picking something up is a matter of authenticity. It all depends on who has the better method.

"I admit defeat, I'm sorry Brother Jiang."

Shopkeeper Xu came back to his senses and realized that he had lost control in his anger. He apologized quickly, but his heart was knotted.

"Shopkeeper Xu, you're welcome. I wanted to remind you secretly just now, but when I think about it, you haven't seen anything in the decades since you've been in the industry, so you must have known about it, but I didn't expect it to cause a misunderstanding."

Jiang Ge replied calmly, the two of them are destined to be on the same level, the other is just a part-time worker, character and ability determine development, and if you offend someone, you will be offended.

"Oh, really?" Shopkeeper Xu raised his eyebrows and gave Lord Long a slight fist, "I still have something to do in the store, so I won't disturb Yaxing. I'll take my leave now."

"Um!"

Master Long's expression did not change, he naturally knew that Shopkeeper Xu was angry, but in fact he looked down on this guy's behavior.

After he left, Mr. Long sighed slightly and said, "The original manager Tang of Hutchison Pawn Shop was a well-rounded person. Compared to Shopkeeper Xu, he is too petty and will never become a great person. He will probably have to make mistakes in the future."

He has seen too many people while hanging out in Vanity Fair, and he is very good at judging the speed of people's arrival.

He looked at Jiang Ge again and said, "Young man, you are not like someone who has just entered the industry. You are experienced and capable, but you have tricked Lao Xu."

"Long Ye is joking. I have no intention of tricking Shopkeeper Xu. I can't say anything if he slaps me in the eyes, otherwise he will think that I am hurting his face by bullying him." Jiang Ge quickly explained, not wanting to make an old accusation.

image.

"That's true. Old Xu's good reputation is only half a bucket of water."

"Why, let's get together. It just so happens that we haven't been with young people for a long time and we need to accept new ideas?" Mr. Long nodded and extended the invitation.

Jiang Ge was a little surprised, so he was naturally happy and wanted to learn some secrets of the antique industry from him.

"Not far ahead is the famous Tonggufang, which specializes in selling some treasures such as porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and some foreign antiques. They say they are genuine, but in fact they are very tricky. They bully some wealthy people who have too much money and are stupid. The boss is said to be Fuso

Man, I often go there recently to step on the plates, and I can’t stand these guys making money from us people.”

"How about it, do you want to go and have a look?"

After walking for a few minutes, the two came to the entrance of a huge store. Mr. Long smiled and pointed inside.

Jiang Ge laughed instantly. He didn't expect Master Long to be patriotic, but he liked this kind of thing the most, and he couldn't stand these foreign capitalists sucking blood here.

So he looked interested and said, "Of course I'm interested. I'm curious how these guys operate?"

He had also heard about the rampant foreign capital in the Long Kingdom antique industry in the 1990s. Countless national treasures were bought at low prices, but in the end, the country had to pay high prices to buy them back.

Take the Yingjiang Kingdom Dragon Head incident as an example. The country wanted to take back the Dragon Head of the Chinese Zodiac, but it had to spend 300 million U.S. dollars to let it go. In the end, the museum had to stop crying until a rich man bought it back at a high price a few years ago.

Give it to the country.

There are countless similar incidents. During the Anti-Japanese War, the Fuso Kingdom stole countless precious Buddhist murals from the Mogao Grottoes in my country, resulting in the loss of national treasures and gaps in archaeological and historical research.

With the rise of the country in recent years, many rich people have been born and some precious national treasures have been bought back. However, there are still many antiquities floating abroad.

As Jiang Ge entered Tonggufang, he had to be impressed by his courage.

Tonggufang covers an area of ​​about 200 square meters, with antique decoration and solemn atmosphere.

The racks on which the antiques are placed are all made of mahogany, and they are filled with porcelain from various dynasties, including small blue and white porcelain, white porcelain, colored glazed porcelain, official kilns and private kilns.

There are bronzes and jades from various dynasties and dynasties, calligraphy and paintings of different styles, ancient Buddha statues, and various jade carvings.

People of all kinds were milling about in the hall, and there was a dedicated female sales commentator who was selling. She was uniformly wearing a split cheongsam, and her chest was tender and tender. She didn't know whether she was selling antiques or meat.

"How is it? The environment here is nice, isn't it?"

Mr. Long looked aristocratic. As soon as he entered, he was stared at by the salesperson in the store. A 1.7-meter-tall woman wearing a cheongsam came over.

"You two want to see antiques and jades. Tonggufang is the largest store nearby, and we will definitely not disappoint our customers."

She is tall, like a supermodel, and her exposed white legs are eye-catching, especially when she bends down to reveal a half-round body that makes people drool. Mr. Long’s assistant who was carrying the bag couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

"Is there any enamel? I want the best kind."

Master Long seemed to be very calm as if he hadn't noticed the beauty of the woman. At his age, he had never seen anything before and was already immune to female sex.

"You have asked the right person. I am number one in the enamel industry in Tonggufang. Come with me!"

The sales lady was very enthusiastic and felt that today's performance commission was guaranteed. She led a few people to a shelf with a dazzling array of enamelware.

"These are all enamelware returned from foreign countries. Some are from the Tang Dynasty and the Qingming Dynasty. They are all folk treasures."

"Look, this copper-embossed enamel snuff bottle is exquisitely made. It is the top level of Western European craftsmanship. It sells for at least more than one million U.S. dollars abroad. You also know that our country's enamel technology was also introduced from foreign countries. Speaking of foreign countries,

The technology is better than us in this regard.”

The sales lady was obviously professionally trained and had a good understanding of the basics of enamel, so she began to concentrate on sales.

However, Master Long ignored her and looked at Jiang Ge, "Does Xiao Jiang know about enamel? What do you think?"

Hearing Master Long's inquiry, Jiang Ge's expression straightened and he glanced at the woman, "I don't agree with your statement. Enamelware, also known as enamel, was first introduced to the Yuan Dynasty from the Dashi Kingdom and developed in the Kang, Yong, and Qian dynasties.

, The works of the three dynasties have their own characteristics in terms of shape, glaze color, decoration, signature, etc., with the characteristics of combining Chinese and Western styles. At this time, the technology has surpassed foreign countries, and our country's enamel works are obviously more popular among collectors than foreign enamel works. "

"Yes, my friend is right. Our country has always been the leader in the porcelain luxury goods industry. How can foreign technology compare with it?"

Master Long was also full of joy. He didn't expect Jiang Ge to know Enamel so well.

The young lady was a little embarrassed when she heard this. She didn't expect that these two people were experts, so she was confused and didn't know what to do.

The conversation between several people happened to be overheard by a girl next to them. She immediately came over and looked at the two of them, "Hello, my name is Ming Qiulan. I just ordered an enamelware here. I want to celebrate my grandpa's birthday tomorrow.

I gave it to him, but I don’t know much about this business. Can you two help me with my eyes?"

Ming Qiulan looked at the two of them expectantly. She originally wanted to find an accompanying appraiser, but when she saw Mr. Long, she suddenly had an idea.

This Master Long is an expert in the antique world. She had seen him as a treasure appraiser at a cultural relics expo before. If she could get him to help, she would be absolutely sure.

"Little girl, have you seen me?"

Mr. Long is a very good person, and he guessed it by looking at the blinking eyes of the little girl. He is very famous in the antique world, and many people have met him.

But he shook his head and refused, "I know the manager of this store, but it's hard to break up the trouble, so let's forget it!"

"Ah". The little girl looked disappointed.

At this time, Mr. Long pointed at Jiang Ge again, "But I can recommend one to you. This is Mr. Jiang. His treasure appraisal skills are not bad at all. He is more than capable of looking at small gadgets."

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Ge and said, "How are you, Xiao Jiang?"

"Okay." Jiang Ge nodded. Although he didn't know why Mr. Long recommended it to him, he obviously couldn't refuse.

"Then I'll trouble Mr. Jiang."

Ming Qiulan was obviously a little disappointed. In the antiques industry, the older you are, the more valuable you are, which usually means rich knowledge and experience. Jiang Ge is too young, so she is a little worried, but it is difficult to refuse the recommendation of Long Ye, so she can only agree.
