701. Want to pick up a leak (5/5)
Li Du really didn't think the short and fat boss came to trouble her group. There were three foreigners in the four of them, black and white, and Mexican-born and white.
Based on his understanding of domestic policies, ordinary people dare not cause trouble for foreigners, especially the other party is still in the wrong.
Even if the other party wants to cause trouble for one side, how can he find Jinjing City is so large and nearly ten million people? It is not easy to find out if he has a small goal alone, but it is easier to cause trouble with Godzilla and Dao.
Even if the other party meets him, he knows that no matter how black or white the country is, he cannot carry a gun. As long as there are no guns and firearms, he does not believe that the other party can survive.
Even if they can do it again, they are fast and want to run away, at least they will not be able to catch up with them.
Thinking of this, he rejected Da Ao's kindness and said, "You can stay here and rest. I just need to take Boss Fu and two of you."
Jinjing City is one of the top 20 major cities in China. There are many foreigners working here, and there are countless foreigners coming to travel.
Hans's size and body shape are within the category of ordinary people, and they will not attract attention, especially in the antique street, where there are the most foreigners.
Riding in the night, he drove into a street of antiques.
Jinjing City is an old city with a strong historical atmosphere. It has been born for more than a thousand years. Unfortunately, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, all buildings with ancient historical characteristics were demolished.
The antique street imitates the old architectural style of the past. The entrance to the street is a city tower, and there are a bunch of tadpole characters on the city gate. It is said that they are hieroglyphs, and Li Du still doesn't understand what it says.
It's still very lively on winter nights.
It’s not far from the Chinese New Year, only half a month later, every shop has hung red lanterns at the door, and there are small stalls on both sides of the road, people coming and going, bustling.
Seeing the city gate tower, Hans quickly took out his camera and took a few photos.
He also wanted to take a few photos, but unfortunately there were too many people coming and going, and the camera's vision was always blocked. Li Du couldn't take all the photos for him, so he could only give up.
However, he was still very satisfied and exclaimed: "This is the real fresh market. Look at the architectural characteristics, it is so old-fashioned. I have a premonition that we will find a bunch of treasures here today."
Li Du shook his head and smiled. It was harder to find a bargain in China than in the United States.
Historically, when the Republic had just reformed and opened up, a large number of antiques in Jinjing City did appear, but after thirty or forty years of great waves, even beggars on the road knew whether they were antiques, let alone these dealers?
When Li Du was working in Jinjing City, he heard from the locals that the antique street is now a scam, and there are no antiques sold at a low price.
But he wanted to try his luck, but he might find something good?
There are not only antiques in the antique street, but also many special snacks.
Hans was interested in these things, and his wallet was constantly opening and closing, sugar man, candied haws, old-fashioned popcorn, etc., and packed up a lot.
Li Du found a street stall to release small flying insects and let it start sweeping.
The first carpet is quite large in area and is divided into two layers, one is a shelf that is supported and the other is laid on the ground.
The shelf mainly contains old-fashioned books and calligraphy marked with the words "single version" and "remember version" and other words, while the ground contains copper coins and porcelain.
The little flying insect flew around it, without any interest.
He was looking at the things on the stall, and the stall owner was also looking at him.
These antique vendors are more thief and more smart. They have been involved in this industry for many years and have developed a pair of golden eyes.
Their golden eyes are not used to look at cultural relics and antiques. How can there be so many cultural relics and antiques these days? They mainly look at customers. When customers come in front of them, they can think about it with just a few glances.
Li Du is their favorite customer, young and heroic, the key is to bring a foreigner.
The foreigners were also very interested in Chinese culture and obviously had money. They bought snacks from the beginning of entering the streets, made generous moves, and did not ask for the price at all. They were obviously two fat sheep.
When Li Du looked at the stall, the stall owner greeted enthusiastically: "Come on, young man, and you, a foreign friend, what do you want?"
Li Du waved his hand and smiled, "Let me take a look first, my friend and I are not familiar with this place."
It’s better if you’re not familiar with it, and the stall owner became more enthusiastic: “Look, come and take a look. I have a lot of things here. Look, there are all kinds of jade bamboo, elderberry, porcelain, ceramic lacquer and paper.”
Hans asked curiously: "Can I take a look?"
The stall owner said in quite fluent English: "Friends, just watch whatever you want, just watch what's here, just watch whatever you want!"
Li Du smiled. It seems that the rumors are correct. Foreign tourists are the main consumer force in the antique street and the main group of people who have been cheated.
In order to open up the foreign market, these stall owners all taught themselves English.
He once read a news story that a boss from Antique Street worked here for five years but didn't make any money. Later, he opened an English training class and opened a chain store.
Hans's eyes were attracted by a large antique porcelain jar. The blanket was painted with a circle of lotus flowers and a little girl rafting.
The stall owner noticed and immediately patted the porcelain hall and said, "Friend, you have a unique vision. This is a treasure, my store treasure here!"
Hans asked, "What is this? It looks good."
"Not bad? Hi, your words are a bit insulting, this is very good!" said the stall owner exaggeratedly, "To be honest, this is a Yuan blue and white porcelain, the antique market in Jinjing City. The Yuan blue and white porcelain with such a good appearance will definitely not exceed one slap in the face!"
Li Du was shocked: "Is this Yuan blue and white?"
The stall owner nodded and said, "Yes, Yuan blue and white, have you read the news? Some time ago, a large area of Yuan Dynasty was discovered in the Nanhe area..."
"As far as I know, the auction of Yuan blue and white porcelain can be used as a unit of billions?" Li Du said with a smile.
The stall owner shook his head and said, "Although I sell Yuan blue and white porcelain, I have to be honest, this thing is not that valuable? One is hype, the other is money laundering. In fact, this thing is worth one or two million yuan a day."
Li Du said: "You can also give one or two million to the auction, right?"
The stall owner sighed, turned the porcelain jar around, and said, "Look, my Yuan blue and white porcelain has flaws, who will want it at auction? Of course, you are right. If this thing is perfect, how could I put it on the stall?"
There is a notch on the neck of the porcelain jar and there are spider web cracks around it.
Li Du said: "Boss, you are honest. If you don't say it, I can't see this gap."
