Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Fatty Wang has been in a good mood recently. He has flattered Deputy Director Liu. At least he is doing much better than before. No one dares to ignore him anymore.

    Zhang Weidong had breakfast at Lao Liu's, and set off from Rong Town to the city. He took the bus and arrived in the district at around nine o'clock.

    After arriving in the district, Zhang Weidong did not call Fatty Wang immediately. Instead, he walked around the antique street in the district and resold the thousands of copper coins he received yesterday to a coin shop.

    The real six well-preserved copper coins were sold for 15,000, and the remaining several thousand coins were of little value individually, but the quantity was large. After changing hands, Zhang Weidong received 28,000, deducting the cost of receiving the goods.  , a net profit of twenty-six thousand, which was indeed a huge profit.

    Zhang Weidong had nothing to say about receiving the goods. He originally wanted to earn some money to supplement his family income, and also to see if he had the chance to encounter something helpful for cultivating immortality. It was a bit of a part-time job.

    After getting rid of the copper coins, I saw that it was almost noon, and then I called Fatty Wang.

    Fatty Wang didn¡¯t plan to eat out today, but the little nurse Li Yingying had to work overtime at noon and couldn¡¯t go back. With his cooking skills, he can only say that he is hungry and is a typical example of lazy cooking.

    So the two agreed to find a small restaurant, just next to the antique street.  People come and go here and business is very good.

    Fatty Wang came here by taxi this time, but now he doesn¡¯t have the bus treatment.

    "Weidong, why did you come to the city suddenly? Did you miss me? Haven't you seen me for a few days?" As soon as Fatty Wang entered the hotel, the air conditioner blew, and he shouted happily, winking at Zhang Weidong who was waiting.  , the mouth is relatively poor.

    Zhang Weidong ignored it directly and said: "Go away, buddy, I just made a business and made a little money. I was going to treat you to dinner, but now it seems that you will pay the bill later!"

    "Holy shit? Is this such a good thing? No, I just said the wrong thing. Hehe, tell me, how much did you earn?" As soon as Fatty Wang sat down, he opened his eyes and almost drooled.  "Two thousand? Three thousand?"

    ¡°Ten or twenty thousand, maybe¡ª¡± Zhang Weidong said with a smile.

    "How many?!"

    "I collected some copper coins yesterday, but I didn't expect that I just changed hands and made a profit, even though it was a little less -"

    In fact, Zhang Weidong also thought that it would be good to earn 10,000 or 8,000 yuan in one transaction, but after careful calculation, it seems that it is really quite a lot.  This business is comparable to the income of his previous company in four months.

    "Is the antique business really so profitable? It doesn't make sense. You have just entered the industry. I have never seen you learn this knowledge before! Twenty thousand is my income for half a year. No, how can you treat me in this small business?  A place must be a star-rated restaurant, so it doesn¡¯t count this time!¡± Fatty Wang looked jealous.

    He said so, but Fatty Wang couldn't sit down.

    The two brothers were talking some words, and after a while, the food was served. They were ordinary things and could only be used to satisfy the hunger. Zhang Weidong was not very interested in Fatty Wang's official experience, but Fatty Wang was very curious about Zhang Weidong's antique shop.  Of course, the main reason is to be interested in money.

    In just one day, Zhang Weidong made more than 20,000 yuan by changing hands, which is indeed enviable.

    You must know that although Fatty Wang entered the officialdom, it was a relationship that was paid for. Fatty Wang's parents only opened a small supermarket and lived as ordinary citizens. They had a house but no car.

    Fatty Wang¡¯s own monthly salary plus subsidies, etc., is only about 3,000 yuan, which is not enough at all.

    ¡°Nowadays, Fatty Wang only lives in a unit, which is a small one-bedroom apartment with a living room. Apart from being able to take a shower, life would be even tighter this day.

    ¡°Moreover, ordinary people are extremely curious about the antique industry, and some even view it with a mysterious attitude.

    Zhang Weidong said briefly, and Fatty Wang shouted that he wanted to go to the antique street and have a look. If he could find something missing, it would be great luck.

    Zhang Weidong thinks it¡¯s funny, but he doesn¡¯t say anything about it. Is it a mistake?  This is simply too difficult!

    I don¡¯t want to persuade him, just go if you want. He also wants to see if there is anything he needs in the antique street in the district.  In the morning, he was purposefully selling copper coins. He visited several stores, thinking about maximizing profits, and didn't think much about other things.

    "You won't go to work in the afternoon? Doesn't someone want to perform well for the leader?"

    "The leader has a lot of things to do, so I'm not here, but I also have tasks. The leader asked me to see if there are any suitable antiques. The leader wants to give them away. This is a long-term goal. If I take a leave, it can be regarded as office work!"

    After dinner, Zhang Weidong and Fatty Wang were not afraid of the sun. When they left the restaurant, Fatty Wang was on the phone while walking. The two of them turned a corner and entered the antique street.

    The two of them have never been here before.  Even Zhang Weidong is justHe has been here before, so everything is still new to him.

    However, before coming here, he did a lot of research on the Internet. Nine out of ten antiques on the market are fake, and there are very few genuine ones.  Moreover, the current counterfeiting technology is also very sophisticated, and some of them can judge the truth from the false.

    There are many shops in this antique street, and not only antique shops, but also some jewelry shops are also opened here.  Generally speaking, when it comes to picking up leaks on street stalls or in shops, the hope is very slim.

    The street stall market is a separate place. Behind the antique street, there is a huge ceiling. There are several rows of tables underneath, which look like selling vegetables. However, what is placed on each table is not vegetables, but suspicious-looking  antiques.  Generally, as long as you pay the rent for the day, you can stay there for the whole day.  Except for those regulated by the state, no one will care about what you sell.

    On the Antique Street, people were coming in and out of the two rows of shops, but behind it, the flow of people was no less than on the front street. There were many well-maintained old people in suits and leather collars, and even many young people were walking around inside.  It's not that noisy here, but once you make a move, you can open the bag directly and take out bundles of banknotes to pay the bill, which is very refreshing.

    However, there are still very few deals concluded.

    Most of the people who come here come to pick up missing items.  As everyone knows, you may think that some things are real and want to pick them up, but the person setting up the stall is not a fool. At least if he is sure of the origin and the price is lower, then he will not sell it.  If the origin is uncertain and it is difficult to tell whether it is true or false, then the profit is not small, so you can make a move.  Only in the latter case can you pick it up if you are lucky.

    Fatty Wang, on the other hand, had a face full of excitement. Every move he made clearly showed that he was just a child, and such people were the easiest to be slaughtered.

    "Weidong, how much of this is true, is it 30%?"

    Zhang Weidong shook his head slightly: "It's impossible. Nine times out of ten, it's not even 10% true. It all depends on your eyesight. There are many punches, so don't do it easily -"

    " Eye-catching" is also a word Zhang Weidong learned from the Internet, and it feels very appropriate.

    Looking at the bustling crowd and the stalls on the left and right, Zhang Weidong had no choice but to get in.  He couldn't get in, couldn't get the object, and he couldn't sense whether it was real or fake, so he could only stare.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the antique market to be so prosperous¡ª¡ª¡± Zhang Weidong was helpless and couldn¡¯t squeeze in.

    "That's not true. A while ago, a cadre of a bureau in our district picked up a leak. The man had some research on antiques. He picked up a plate and said it was from the Ming Dynasty. He bought it for 400 yuan. When it was authenticated, it turned out to be authentic.  Yes, I made more than 800,000 yuan as soon as I changed hands, tsk tsk¡ª" Fatty Wang said with envy.

    Zhang Weidong smiled, shook his head and said: "That's not easy. Just try your luck and play for hundreds of dollars -"

    The two of them squeezed, and Fatty Wang disappeared. Zhang Weidong smiled bitterly and simply ignored him.

    Seeing a crowd of people walking away from a stall, Zhang Weidong also watched the excitement, so he walked over.

    The stall owner is a middle-aged man. There are several small items on the table, including a snuff bottle with a bronze dragon and phoenix carving. However, the workmanship seems a bit rough. Of course, even if it is rough, it is still for an expert. Zhang Weidong was stunned.  I don't see any charm, I just think it's very beautiful. I don't think I can use it, and I can't know whether it is true or false.  There is also an inkstone, but it looks like it has been used for many years.  The other thing is a stone, which doesn't look like a strange stone.

    ¡°Boss, can you get started?¡±

    "I'm sorry, there are too many people. No, just look at it this way!" The stall owner refused without any enthusiasm at all.

    Zhang Weidong also thinks that those who sell antiques are really awesome. Since they are not allowed to hold them in their hands, how about touching them at the head office?  Shamelessly, I touched the snuff bottle with my fingers first, and immediately reported that it was fake!

    Look at Yantai again, it¡¯s fake again!

    "Not interested in those two pieces? I bought this stone from a friend for yard paving, but it is an old piece of jadeite material. It's a scam!" the stall owner said with a mysterious look.

    Wool?  Jade?  Gambling on stones?

    Zhang Weidong suddenly realized.  It turns out that this is the raw jade stone?  I really can¡¯t tell. I think most people would think it was just a broken stone even if you threw it on the roadside.

    He also tried to touch a handful of the so-called wool, but there was no reaction on it at all, and his interest was completely gone.  I don¡¯t know if this induction is not suitable for wool, or if wool is just a stone without jade.

    Since there was nothing unexpected, Zhang Weidong didn¡¯t plan to stay any longer, and left without asking the price.

    I visited seven or eight stalls in a row and spent more than two hours, but I didn¡¯t come across any genuine product!

    Zhang ?Only then did Dong have a preliminary idea of ??picking up leaks.

    It's really tough!

    "Mr. Xu missed it!"

    "Mr. Xu?"

    "You don't even know about Mr. Xu? He is a famous antique collector in our city. Mr. Xu used to be a veteran cadre in our city, but he retired long ago. He has been in this industry for more than ten years!"

    Zhang Weidong also wanted to see what the antique celebrities had picked up, but he couldn't squeeze in at all. He only saw an old man with half-white hair surrounded by people. He also saw Fatty Wang, who was squeezing over there.  All of a sudden, a large area of ??the rest of the surrounding stalls became vacant.

    ?????????????? It¡¯s not crowded here, so he can take a look and see if there are any leaks that can be picked up.

    "Zhang Weidong didn't know Mr. Xu's name, so he naturally didn't trust him. However, even if he knew he was awesome, he was not interested in crowding with others.

    Continuing to browse other stalls, Zhang Weidong looked quickly. So far, he didn't feel anything real.  Many people despised this move.

    ??Looking at it at such a fast speed, can you pick up the leaks?

    Even an expert needs to taste it carefully to distinguish authenticity.  Zhang Weidong looked around like this and touched other people's objects from time to time, which made many stall owners frown.

    However, Zhang Weidong was really disappointed. He saw hundreds of items and visited most of the stalls. The porcelain, bronze, jade, picture scrolls, ancient manuscripts, etc. were all fake. He couldn't help but buy them.  insulted.  At any rate, why don't you put one thing up for real?

    ¡°It¡¯s not easy¡ª¡ª¡±

    Zhang Weidong has lost confidence in this place and no longer goes to the stalls. Unless he goes to a store, it is really difficult to see the real thing.  He was about to call Fatty Wang and leave.

    "Huh?" Zhang Weidong suddenly stopped.
