Under the guidance of two female greeters, Chen Hai and Dong Dahai had just entered the exhibition hall.
Not far away, Yang Xi and Zhao Xiaoyan, who were also wearing pink cheongsam, seemed to have just sent a group of guests in, and they happened to be walking towards them.
"Chen Hai, you..." Seeing Chen Hai, Yang Xi had a look of disbelief on her face. She covered her mouth. Looking at her appearance, it seemed that she was just a little bit shy before she screamed in surprise.
"Sorry, Brother Dong, I met a friend and went over to say hello!" Chen Hai informed Dong Dahai with a slight apology.
"Yeah! Okay, you go there first, I'll wait for you here!" Dong Dahai smiled and nodded.
After getting his answer, Chen Hai walked straight towards Yang Xi and Zhao Xiaoyan.
"Hey, Senior Sister Yang Xi, I never noticed before that you have such a good figure when you're not wearing a cheongsam..."
Stopping in front of the two women, Chen Hai looked Yang Xi up and down, and joked with a smile.
"That's natural. In school, I was afraid that you guys would drool after seeing my figure, so I deliberately covered it up!"
Yang Xi is a person who is capable of making jokes.
Knowing that Chen Hai was joking, she not only didn't look angry, but instead responded with a sneer.
"You guys, aren't you talking about working and studying and finding work to make money? Why are you here without saying a word?" Then, she gave Chen Hai a roll of her eyes and complained to him.
She was really surprised to see Chen Hai here.
After all, as a reception girl here, she naturally knows that the antique exchange meeting at the Boyue Convention and Exhibition Center is not open to ordinary people at all.
For invitations here, most people want to apply for it, but there are many conditions. People who don't have any background can't apply at all if they want to apply.
When we met Chen Hai at the bus station in the morning, he said he was so poor that he could barely afford porridge and steamed buns!
In the blink of an eye, he appeared inside the Boyue Convention and Exhibition Center.
This scene was really unbelievable. If the time and place weren't inappropriate, Yang Xi would have wanted to just slap him in the face.
"Senior Yang Xi, didn't you say that the people who come to this exchange meeting are either rich or noble?"
"Okay! I'm showing off my cards. When I was a kid, my nickname was Chen Fugui. The person you said is either rich or noble is not me, so who else can I be?"
"Following an outstanding person like me, you can learn more..."
Chen Hai did not directly respond to Yang Xi's inquiry. He pretended to be serious and joked with her instead.
"I'm going to die, Chen Hai, you are so dishonest, you only know how to fool me!"
"When people ask you the truth, you tell me nonsense!"
"Repay Chen Fugui? Why don't you just call me Chen Wangcai?" Yang Xi glared at Chen Hai and complained angrily.
"Okay, Senior Sister Yang Xi, I won't joke with you anymore!"
"I came here because a friend brought me here."
"At that time in the morning, I had no idea that the place my friend was talking about would be here. Otherwise, I would have told you directly at that time!"
This time, Chen Hai did not continue to lie, but directly began to tell the truth.
"That friend of yours is quite capable, and he was able to get the invitation here!"
"Fortunately, my friend is originally in the antique business and is considered an insider. It will be relatively easy for him to get invitations here!"
"That's no wonder!"
…
The two of them only chatted for a few words, and then a sound of light coughing reached their ears.
Not far away, a woman in her thirties, wearing a black suit, had turned her attention directly to Chen Hai and Yang Xi.
"Chen Hai, your friend is still waiting for you over there, you go ahead."
"I have to work, otherwise, people will think I'm lazy and have problems with me!"
The woman in the small suit should be responsible for managing Yang Xi and the other guests.
Seeing the woman, her face seemed a little unhappy, Yang Xi quickly ended the conversation, stuck out her tongue at Chen Hai, and walked quickly towards the entrance of the exhibition hall.
"I'm sorry, Brother Dong, for keeping you waiting!"
"It's okay. I'm not in a hurry. It's great to be young. That girl is pretty. Is she your girlfriend?"
"No, Brother Hou should have told you that I'm studying in Kyoto, and the guy just now was my classmate, from the same department, so we have a good relationship, right?"
…
He reunited with Dong Dahai, and the two chatted while walking towards the exhibition hall.
The Boyue Convention and Exhibition Center has a large venue. A conservative estimate is that even if it is not 10,000 square meters, it is definitely several thousand square meters!
In the middle of the exhibition hall, there are rows of glass display cabinets.
These display cabinets store various quantities of antiques and artworks, ranging from calligraphy and painting, jades, to bronze and porcelain.
"These items are auction items owned by the organizer."
"During the three days of the exchange meeting, every day from 2 to 4 pm, some of the items in the showcase will be put up for auction!"
"If someone takes a fancy to a certain item in the exhibition cabinet, and this item happens to be not among the auctions that day, then he can only continue to come to the exhibition tomorrow!"
"The organizer uses this method to conduct the auction in order to better retain popularity!"
Seeing that Chen Hai seemed a little curious about the items in the display cabinets in the exhibition hall, Dong Dahai stood aside and quickly explained to him.
"Today's businessmen are all as shrewd as ghosts!" Chen Hai chuckled without comment.
After a slight pause, he then continued: "Brother Dong, are those empty showcases around the exhibition hall the private booths specially set up by the organizer?"
Chen Hai, who had no money and no thoughts at all, turned his eyes around the exhibition hall to buy something at this exchange meeting. Soon, his eyes fell on the surroundings of the exhibition hall.
A vacant display cabinet about one and a half meters long is paired with a chair. Such a set will be placed at regular intervals around the exhibition hall.
There are many vacant showcases that are already occupied by people.
In the middle of the exhibition hall, the auction items of the host conference can only be viewed for the time being, but cannot be purchased.
In terms of popularity, the private showcases around it seem to be a bit more lively than the main venue in the center of the exhibition hall.
"Mr. Chen, you are right. Those vacant showcases are private booths specially created by the organizer!"
"If you want to sell something, just find a seat, sit down, and put the items you want to sell into the glass display cabinet."
"If the item is not sold, the active party will not charge any fee. Only when the transaction is successful, they will charge 10% of the share as venue fee!"
Dong Dahai nodded and explained to Chen Hai.
As long as they are experienced in dealing with antiques and antiques, who doesn't have a few good things in their hands?
I came to the antique exchange meeting at the Boyue Convention and Exhibition Center. There were many people, both buying and selling things!
The organizers set up some private showcases for everyone’s convenience and to better attract people!
Of course, the popularity in their eyes does not refer to ordinary people.
Rather, they are the kind of target customers who are truly interested in antiques and antiques and have a high probability of completing transactions in this showroom.
After all, the cost of playing these things in antique literature can easily cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. Most people who want to play with these things cannot afford them at all.
If the threshold is not raised and all ordinary people are put into the exhibition hall, there will be too many people, and it will easily get out of control and lead to chaos.
Maybe people who are really interested in antiques will stop coming in when they see the messy scene.
"Brother Dong, I'm going over there to set up a stall and sell talismans. If you're busy in advance, don't worry about me!"
Pointing to the relatively deserted area in the southeast of the exhibition hall, Chen Hai said with a smile.
Being able to bring him here, Dong Dahai has done him a great favor.
Of course, he can't ask others to stay with him and guard him!
"Okay, Mr. Chen, I'll excuse you for now!"
"I also brought a few gadgets in my bag. Let's take a look around first. I'll also set up a stall to display them later."
"Let's see if we can sell those items at a good price!"
Dong Dahai nodded and said.
He came to this exchange meeting in the exhibition hall because he had his own things to do. As for bringing Chen Hai here, in fact, it was just a way to stop by.
The main reason why he was so polite in front of Chen Hai was because of what Hou Donggui said that day.
"The bottle you have is made of azure glaze, and the style is made during the Qianlong reign. The glaze color of a genuine Qianlong imperial porcelain bottle should be thick and pure, but it obviously doesn't match the color on your bottle..."
"The authentic Xuande furnace was forged tens of millions of times. Your object is directly poured out of molten iron..."
"This is a good thing. It's an enamel from the Kangxi year. It's in good condition and worth collecting..."
…
Dong Dahai left and went to do his own business first. Chen Hai walked towards the southeast of the exhibition hall in a leisurely manner, as if he was just taking a quick look at the flowers.
Along the way, the sounds that reached his ears were basically topics related to antiques.
In this regard, Chen Hai is a typical layman.
When others used some industry-specific terminology, he was confused and couldn't understand it at all.
Only with straightforward remarks can he understand what others mean!
In the southeast area of the exhibition hall, there are a lot of vacant showcases that are not yet occupied.
Too lazy to choose, he found a spot at random. After sitting down on the chair behind the showcase, he opened the showcase and put the two talismans he carried with him directly inside.
The Dirty Talisman, he indeed only succeeded in drawing one.
But for the lower-level corpse transformation talisman, his current success rate is already very high.
When he draws corpse transformation talismans, he can basically succeed in one for every two or three he draws.
However, this kind of talisman is just an ordinary Taoist talisman, not much magical, and can only be used to destroy corpses and eliminate traces at most.
There are more than ten corpse transformation talismans in his hand.
If it hadn't been for the fact that he no longer had any sense of accomplishment in drawing this kind of talisman and was simply too lazy to draw it again, I'm afraid the inventory in his hand would be much more than just a dozen or so.
Originally? He wasn't going to sell the zombie talisman.
However, after thinking about it, there is only one obscene talisman in the huge display cabinet, which is a bit unsightly.
He just took a piece of corpse transformation talisman and put it in to make up the number.
Chen Hai was actually not sure whether the talisman he drew would meet someone who knew the goods at this antique exchange meeting.
He came here to set up a stall, in fact, just to try his luck.
After placing the two talismans in the locker, he sat cross-legged on a chair, looked at his nose and heart, and directly entered the practice.
