Chapter 41 The water in the antique circle, I can grasp it.
It's about nine o'clock in the evening.
After sending Qin Bing back after dinner, Li Dong came to Xiao Pan's home.
At this moment, even though it was night, Xiao Pan's home was still bustling with people, and there were voices of bargaining everywhere.
The stalls are criss-crossed and arranged in an orderly manner.
Li Dong, who came here for the first time, looked around silently and observed the details of these people's bargaining in order to understand the basic market conditions first.
Then, he was frightened by a middle-aged man who was bargaining.
The middle-aged man held a bronze bull in his hand and looked at the stall owner solemnly: "Boss, I want this thing. Please give me the real price."
When the stall owner heard what the middle-aged man said, he thought for a while and then said with some "heartache": "This is a bronze bull from the Western Zhou Dynasty. It is carved from the green bull that Laozi rides in Taoism. It has an extraordinary status in Taoism."
value.
Since you are a knowledgeable person and your heart is so sincere, I won’t ask for more, and I’ll just take you five hundred thousand.”
"Fifty, boss, if you want to sell it, I'll take it."
"If it doesn't sell, I'll look elsewhere."
The middle-aged man put down the bronze bull and killed the price to the bottom.
The quote of 500,000 yuan was directly reduced to 50 yuan.
Li Dong, who saw this kind of thing for the first time, was immediately confused.
But something happened that made Li Dong even more speechless. When the stall owner heard the middle-aged man's quotation, he was not angry. Instead, he was very serious about raising the price with the middle-aged man.
In the end, the bronze bull that was quoted at 500,000 yuan was sold to the middle-aged man by the boss for 120 yuan, which was simply the price of a bronze handicraft.
"The water in the antique circle is so deep, can I grasp it?"
Li Dong's face was full of emotion, and he immediately decided to observe the situation again, and wait until he had a thorough understanding of the situation before looking for a target to make a quotation.
If you make a hasty quotation, you will definitely be treated as someone who has been taken advantage of and killed in a place like this.
With the decision made in his mind, Li Dong immediately stopped being anxious and slowly observed each stall aimlessly, quietly absorbing experience.
In the end, Li Dong wandered around Xiao Pan's home for half an hour and completely mastered an experience.
Customers here buy antiques, whether they are genuine or fake, after the stall owner quotes the price and then cuts the price to the floor.
In short, one is making a desperate offer, and the other is bargaining to the death.
When the expected price in both minds is reached, the transaction is considered completed.
With confidence in his heart, Li Dong was immediately ready to start carefully selecting gifts.
"For your sixth birthday, it is most appropriate to give an antique that symbolizes good luck and good luck as a gift."
With this in mind, Li Dong specially selected antiques that had auspicious symbolic meanings.
As a result, after he selected more than ten items in a row, he used the aura technique to see that they were all modern handicrafts.
Judging from their appearance, they all look like old objects with a sense of age.
But when Li Dong used the Qi-gazing technique to observe, he found that the oldest of these things was no more than three years old, and the latest was only a month old.
If it weren't for the means of telepathy.
Simply relying on his eyesight to select antiques in a place like this, Li Dong might be deceived to the point where nothing is left.
At this time, Li Dong also completely understood why Mr. Qin Hai was slapped again and again when he bought antiques and was defrauded of a lot of money.
The water in the antique industry is really too deep.
Fortunately, he has the art of fortune-telling and can directly tell the approximate age of the antique.
Although it is impossible to judge the specific value of the antique based on this, he still cannot be deceived by whether the antique is authentic or fake.
"Although the water in the antique industry is deep, I can grasp it."
"As long as I learn some basic knowledge of antique appreciation, and cooperate with qi magic, I'm afraid I can become an expert professor in the antique circle."
At this moment, Li Dong sighed deeply and immediately continued to observe the antiques in front of him.
Soon, his eyes were completely attracted by a painting.
The painting is a traditional Chinese painting, and the content of the painting is a picture of the Eight Immortals celebrating their birthdays.
For an old man celebrating his birthday, this gift is undoubtedly the most appropriate one.
"I hope this picture is a real antique."
Li Dong thought in his mind, and immediately used the aura technique to observe the painting in front of him quietly.
As a result, after some observation, Li Dong had a confused look in his eyes.
The painting in front of him actually had two kinds of light in his eyes.
A kind of light is very light, almost non-existent, which means that it is a modern product, with a history of several decades at most.
The other kind of light is very rich. According to the historical evaluation standards of qi gazing, it should be a painting from the Ming Dynasty.
This is the first time Li Dong has seen this kind of situation tonight.
The stall owner is a short man with small eyes and a shoehorn face.
Seeing that Li Dong was obviously interested in the painting of the Eight Immortals celebrating his birthday, the stall owner immediately looked at Li Dong flatteringly: "This boss is really discerning. The authentic work of Saint Wu Daozi in this painting is hidden so deeply that you discovered it at a glance.
"Yeah."
Wu Daozi...
Li Dong was immediately confused when he heard what his boss said.
Li Dong didn't do much research on antiques, and he had never heard of Wu Daozi.
Immediately, he took out his mobile phone and started searching for Wu Daozi.
On Baidu Encyclopedia, it was clearly stated that Wu Daozi was a famous painter of the Ming Dynasty, which immediately made Li Dong more and more certain that this painting was definitely related to the Ming Dynasty and was probably authentic.
I just thought that there are two different lights in this painting. I quietly searched on Baidu to find out why this painting has traces of two historical periods.
Immediately, he searched for all kinds of answers.
After some screening, Li Dong still found very useful information.
It turns out that during the war, some antique collectors would choose to copy the real paintings and cover them with a layer of fake paintings to cover up the signs of the real paintings.
Or some corrupt officials would choose this situation in order not to be discovered by others.
Li Dong didn't know what the situation was in this picture of the Eight Immortals celebrating their birthdays.
But he was sure that the surface of this painting must have been covered with a layer of fake painting.
Therefore, under his qi-watching technique, a painting emits two different rays of light.
The stall owner, because of the angle, could not see whether Li Dong was checking himself on his mobile phone.
But he has encountered this situation too many times.
Basically, laymen look up information on the Internet to determine the approximate history of antiques.
"It seems that this is a fat sheep that has just entered the antique circle. We must seize the opportunity and make a killing."
The stall owner thought happily. When Li Dong put down his cell phone, he quickly pointed at the seal on the painting and looked at Li Dong: "Boss, I won't lie to you. Look, there is an authentic work of the painting saint Wu Daozi here."
