I am the Almighty King of the City

Chapter 94 Antique Market
With the money given by Mu Zixi, Ye Fan felt more at ease.

This is the first time his account balance has so much money since he was a child.

Ashamed to say, I didn't earn the money myself, but got it from my girlfriend.

However, Ye Fan doesn't have much psychological burden. As Mu Zixi said, the two of them have this kind of relationship, and if they are too clearly distinguished, they will seem too unfamiliar.

Ye Fan came to North Alley and walked into the only antique market in Hua'an City - Jubao Commercial Antique Trading Market.

Ye Fan looked around, the layout of the market was quite old-fashioned, and the streets everywhere were neat and clean, with clear distinctions.

On both sides of the street, there are all antique shops.

The decoration of these shops has its own characteristics, either simple and grand, or rich and magnificent, or strange in shape.

Ye Fan stopped at a store called Baotian Pavilion. This store was not too big or small, but the name was also magnificent.

He hesitated for a long time before walking into the shop.

"Hello, sir." The shopping guide lady smiled brightly, bent over slightly, a little round and inadvertently revealed a little white greasy.

Ye Fan nodded, looked away calmly, and went straight into the store.

It's not that he isn't interested in beauty, it's just that the shopping guide's smile is a little too fake.

"Sir, what do you want to buy?" The shopping guide lady followed up.

Ye Fan looked left and right, and the shelves were full of antiques that had experienced many vicissitudes of life. These antiques were usually marked with very famous names.

What is the chamber pot used by Concubine Yang Gui, the trousers worn by the emperor, etc...

Ye Fan curled his lips, not to mention the truth, buy a chamber pot or pants for a dick.

And the boss really dared to put a price on these two items, which directly cost thousands to tens of thousands.

Ye Fan's heart sank when he saw it. He originally thought that 5 yuan was a lot, but looking at the price...

I walked to a blue and white porcelain bottle by myself. The color of the bottle looked good and had a lot of charm.

Ye Fan glanced at the price, "19999."

The shopping guide's eyes lit up, she touched Ye Fan's hand with her palm inadvertently, and then said with her hair up, "Mr. Good eyesight, this is an imitation of blue and white porcelain made by a famous master in the Yuan Dynasty, and it has a very high collection value.

Now we have a special price in our store. If you pick up the goods now, we can give you a 19999% discount on top of the original price of [-]. What do you think? "

As she said that, the shopping guide lady also put her efforts together, winking her winking eyes frequently and giving her a sneaky look.

Ye Fan could feel that Miss Shopping Guide's fingers scratched his arm intentionally or unintentionally, making him itchy.

"Sir, you bought this porcelain vase, and I can deliver it to you personally." The shopping guide lady's voice was sweet, and her eyes seemed to be dripping.

Ye Fan was unmoved, looked at the blue and white porcelain vase and said, "Can I touch it?"

Um... the shopping guide lady was stunned, "So urgent? It's not good to do it in public."

"You misunderstood, I meant it." Ye Fan pointed at the blue and white porcelain vase.

Haha, a guy who doesn’t know how to be charming.The shopping guide gave him a blank look, and said resentfully: "Yes, but it should be lighter. If it breaks, you will lose money."

Ye Fan nodded, and took out a magnifying glass from his pocket. He came here today, so he came prepared.

Whether it is professional knowledge or props, I have silently sorted it out in my heart.

20 may seem like a lot in other industries, but in the antique industry, even the entry level is difficult.

Few of the customers around really understand antiques, they just want to pick up the missing ones by luck.

Ye Fan is not optimistic about them. Although antiques also have gambling elements, but relying on strength, luck can still be minimized.

For guys like these who purely gamble on luck, it would be easier and faster to go to Las Vegas and play craps.

Through the magnifying glass, the texture of the bottle body instantly came alive. Ye Fan observed carefully, not letting go of any inch of the texture of the bottle body.

It's not that imitation blue and white porcelain vases are worthless. Strictly speaking, it still depends on the craftsmanship and quality.

Things that come out of the assembly line must be worthless, because people who really play antiques pay attention to history and spirituality.

Most of the products produced by the assembly line have stiff lines and rigid textures, without any artistic value.

Ye Fan looked at it for a long time, and the shopping guide yawned aside, a little bored.

If it wasn't for her professionalism and store rules, she would have gone to serve other customers long ago.

In the antique market, the older the person, the more powerful they are. It wasn't because of Ye Fan's "good looks", the shopping guide lady didn't even bother to talk to him.

Ye Fan put down the magnifying glass and shook his head slightly. The blue and white porcelain bottle should have undergone secondary processing.

At the beginning, he looked at the texture and found that there were traces to follow, it was not the kind of rigid machine work, but after careful observation, the texture of the bottle body became looser and looser, and the blank part in the middle became more and more loose. It's neither fish nor fowl.

Ye Fan reached out and touched the bottle body, and gave up completely. His tentacles were slightly rough. Because it was a modern process, not kiln-made, it made the glaze less layered.

"No?" Seeing Ye Fan's expression, the shopping guide's lady immediately darkened. Isn't this a waste of her time?
"Sir, I think this blue and white porcelain vase is already very good. Look at how beautiful it is. It will look good wherever you put it at home."

Ye Fan glanced at her with a half-smile, "Then why don't you buy it and take it home?"

"Are you kidding? How can I have the money to buy such expensive things?" The shopping guide laughed dryly, but she no longer persuaded Ye Fan to buy. She could see that Ye Fan was a "poor guy."

After looking at the blue and white porcelain vase, Ye Fan looked at a few more porcelains, but found that they were all handicrafts from the assembly line, and had nothing to do with artworks.

"Sigh." He sighed, the value of handicrafts is far from that of works of art.

Some handicrafts here will not lose money, and even make a small profit, but that profit is obviously not what Ye Fan wants.

The shopping guide lady ran around with Ye Fan, not to mention her body tired, but her heart became more and more irritable.

She has no way to deal with such customers who look at and ask questions, and then grope for the products indiscriminately.

The most important thing is that he is irresponsible after touching it, as if nothing happened.

"Sir, you haven't selected your favorite product yet?" The shopping guide lady's tone was full of dissatisfaction. Ye Fan had indeed affected her business.

If it weren't for your good looks, my aunt would have stopped serving you a long time ago.The shopping guide lady complained bitterly.

Ye Fan was also a little embarrassed, but he was here to buy things, and it was impossible for other factors to interfere with his judgment.

"Sorry, I really don't like anything..." Ye Fan spread his palms, "Is there anything more valuable here?"

The shopping guide can tell that Ye Fan is here to make money, and he seems to be quite knowledgeable.

She thought about it, and said to Ye Fan: "Why don't you go to gamble on stones, the backyard is the stone betting area of ​​our store, do you think it's okay?"

Betting on rocks?Ye Fan was stunned, with a hesitant look on his face. He knew how to bet on stones, but the betting on stones he learned from Jianbao was too basic, so he didn't know if he could succeed.

The shopping guide lady glanced at Ye Fan from time to time, and she didn't feel bored anymore.

After a long time, Ye Fan made up his mind and said in a deep voice, "Take me there."
