Chapter Fourteen

After work, Yang Fan went directly to the ghost market.

He had previously sold the snuff bottle for 80,000 yuan, and later bought the rough stone for 23,000 yuan.

As a result, the money for buying the rough stone was returned by Mr. Li after repeated requests. In addition, the money for selling a piece of jade was 260,000 yuan. The total was 340,000 yuan. After transferring 250,000 yuan to his family, there was still 90,000 yuan left.

money.

This price is not enough to buy a decent gift in a place like an antique street.

He had no choice but to come to the ghost market to try his luck and see if he could get something good as a birthday gift for the old man.

He walked slowly and leisurely in the ghost market, looking like he was just taking a quick look at things, but what others didn't know was that every object would appear to be true or false in Yang Fan's eyes.

While walking, Yang Fan suddenly shrank his pupils and found a dark yellow wine bottle-like thing on a street stall, with nine dark black circles on it.

Yang Fan was shocked, but he did not focus on the wine bottle. He walked around casually before walking back, squatting in front of the stall owner, pointing at a paper fan and saying:

"What's the origin of this thing? Can I see it?"

The most taboo thing for people in this industry is to always keep their eyes on the gadgets they have chosen. The most taboo thing is to show an expression of determination to win. Isn't that waiting to be slaughtered?

"This is a folding fan from the Qing Dynasty, priced at 88,000 yuan. Price is guaranteed."

When the stall owner saw the visitor, he shook his head and said coldly.

"Okay, just keep your Qing Dynasty fan and play slowly by yourself."

Yang Fan sneered, stood up and made a gesture to leave.

"Hey, wait a minute, please say something nice. To be honest, you are my first customer today. We haven't been open for a day. I'll give you a discount. You can take it away with 60,000 yuan!"

The stall owner said half-truthfully that his place had indeed not opened any business today. You must know that with the progress of the times, there are fewer and fewer serious old things on the market.

People who are really in the industry rarely come to the ghost market to pick up things, but it goes without saying that for laymen, who has not been deceived by anyone with this kind of mentality? How can they continue to suffer losses regardless of whether they eat or not?

"To tell you the truth, this thing just looks good to me. I'm from the antique shop in front of you. Let's not talk about our own store. You can go and inquire about Zhenbaoxuan. Have I checked it? Just buy it for fun.

It’s just a pretense, you can sell it for fifty yuan if you like it!”

Yang Fan said directly with disdain.

"I said you, the customer, can't do this. I know you are very capable, but you can't bargain like this. How can we still set up a stall here in the future?"

The stall owner said somewhat helplessly.

"Stop saying anything. If you give me one more thing for one hundred yuan, do you think I'll take it away? I'll treat it like an opening for you."

After Yang Fan thought for a while, he pretended to be embarrassed and said.

"Okay... okay!"

The stall owner said unhappily.

Yang Fan took out a hundred yuan, threw it on the stall, and glanced at it twice.

As a result, the stall owner quickly protected a vase and an incense burner in his arms and said:

"These two things won't work. I also spent a lot of money to buy these two things. I can't just lose money like this!"

"Okay, I don't want that thing of yours, just this thing. I don't need other things at ordinary times. This thing can also drink water and so on."

With that said, Yang Fan took the wine bottle and fan, opened the folding fan to fan the wind, and left slowly.

"Damn, you're quite stylish. No wonder you want to pretend to be a bitch. I can do it, but it's not like I spent more than thirty dollars to buy two things. Today's work is not in vain."

The stall owner looked at Yang Fan's leaving figure and said leisurely.

"Okay, now I have Mr. Li's birthday gift. Let's see what we can find."

Yang Fan put away the wine bottles with satisfaction, and then continued walking around the ghost market.

The guy named Qian Donglai whom I met yesterday said harshly that Yang Fan would not be welcome in any stone gambling den in Xishan City from now on.

It looked like a child playing nonsense, but Yang Fan knew that the other party must be capable.

After all, the stone gambling establishment he went to was the largest in Xishan City, and someone who could make the customers dare not say anything must have a good background and connections.

It's not difficult to get the Stone Gambling Hall to ban you.

So he didn't go to the stone gambling den to join in the fun today. He planned to wander around the ghost market. If he came across something good, wouldn't he make money?

His most important task now is to make money and pay off debts!

Not long after leaving, Yang Fan became interested again. What he looked at was a small incense burner with two circles of orange light on it. It should have been a product two hundred years ago.

Yang Fan calculated that it should be during the Jiaqing period.

"well."

Yang Fan shook his head slightly. During the Jiaqing period, corruption had begun and the economy was weak. During the same period, the Tianli Sect and the White Lotus Sect revolted together!

As a student of history, he knew that these two uprisings caused the Dragon Kingdom to lose more than 100 million people at that time. Can you imagine how many people believed in various sects at that time?

Because of this, the incense burners of that era were very valuable, just like Luoyang paper, which was in short supply.

However, now, it is precisely because there were so many incense burners in that era that they seem to be very worthless.

It doesn’t have much collection significance!

However, thinking that no matter how small a mosquito's legs are, they are still meat, Yang Fan walked over and asked:

"Boss, how much does this item cost for you?"

"Little brother, this thing was thrown out by my father in his own land when he was young. It is definitely an antique. If you want it, take it for 50,000 yuan!"

The stall owner pointed out five fingers and said.

"The price is not worth it. This incense burner doesn't last that long. I can only pay a thousand."

Yang Fan said, he estimated that this thing should be between 10,000 and 20,000. It is not a big profit. If you can get it, get it. If you can't get it, take it down!

"Hey, if I pay you five thousand yuan, I want this thing!"

At this moment, a voice from the side sounded, interrupting the conversation between Yang Fan and his boss.

Yang Fan frowned slightly.

It is also a taboo in the industry to suddenly jump out and interrupt someone when they are discussing the price, and to make a direct offer.

Firstly, it will offend people, and secondly, it will make the seller feel that his gadget is valuable and take this opportunity to increase the price!

Under such involution, only sellers benefit.

However, in recent years, another industry has emerged specifically: leakage picking!

This kind of person hangs out in the ghost market all day long, watching other people buy these items.

Through the experience accumulated through many years of observation, we can find people who really know the business and follow them to buy what they like.

If this happened to Yang Fan, it is very likely that he was targeted the last time he came to the ghost market, and was targeted when he went to Zhibaoxuan.

Knowing that he found something good last time, I will follow him this time!
