Quick Wear: I am the shopkeeper at the Merit Pawn Shop

Shen Mo took these items home and found that his proficiency in identifying antique porcelain had increased from 60% to 65%.

Shen Mo's eyes lit up. Does this mean that every time he finds a real antique, his proficiency level will increase by one point?

But this is not easy. In the entire antique market, he only liked these five things today. Even if he visited all the antique markets in Shanghai, he might not be able to buy all the antiques he liked.

If he were to learn skills in the space step by step, he would need to consume points, and now he didn't know how to get points.

Going to the antique market to sift through the treasures is a waste of money and time.

There is no point in thinking too much, Shen Mo's next step is to find a suitable buyer for the newly purchased antiques.

Soon he identified several buyers who liked to collect porcelain and invited them to his home.

Anyway, in their line of work, if they come across something good, they will invite colleagues to appreciate it, which is both an appraisal and a way to show off.

Soon these people rushed to Shen Mo's house, and were quite surprised to see that Shen Mo took out porcelain this time.

"Shen Mo, didn't you say you wouldn't touch porcelain? When did you change your nature?"

"People always have to grow. I feel that I have learned enough, so I went to the market to buy these items. I would like to ask you to appreciate them."

Several people came with magnifying glasses and carefully examined the five pieces of porcelain that Shen Mo took out.

When they saw the small flaws on three of the items, they all expressed regret.

"If these three items didn't have these minor flaws, their prices would be incredible."

"If there weren't any small flaws, I might not have been able to get the chance to buy it."

"Even if it has a small flaw, it's still worth a lot of money. You have a really good eye." The middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, do you want me to appraise it? If you don't need it, if your friends need it, I can give you a discount on the appraisal." Shen Mo smiled and tried to solicit business.

Shen Mo wondered if doing appraisals for others would improve his proficiency.

"Are you smart or not?"

"Do I have a keen eye for identifying wood? If wood is bright, then porcelain is also bright."

"You are so confident. How many shots are you going to make?" asked a long-haired young man.

This man is called Chang Baiqing. I heard that he followed his family elders into this business and he is very generous.

However, Shen Mo knew that this was just a buyer pushed forward by others, and the person behind him was the real seller.

"Which two do you like?" Shen Mo asked with a smile.

"Famous enamel bowl and blue and white vase without any flaws. If you like, I'll take it for 100,000 yuan."

The two people standing by took a deep breath when they heard the figure of 100,000 yuan.

This figure is considered a very high price in today's porcelain market.

Shen Mo tapped the table with his fingers, then took out a pen and paper and wrote down the names and origins of the two items.

Why are antique dealers divided into first-level dealers, second-level dealers and third-level dealers?

Why can one person sell the same item at a high price, while another person only has it worth a few packs of cigarettes?

The person who sold it with the money from cigarettes did so because in his eyes the item was only worth that much money, while the latter knew it was valuable but had no idea how much it was worth.

In order to sell an item at a high price, you must first know the origin of the item.

You have to dig out the story behind the item, even if you just make up a story, you can sell it for a good price.

Of course, what Shen Mo wrote was not nonsense. The time he spent in the space learning the porcelain identification skills was not in vain.

"Five hundred thousand each. Think about it." It can be said that Shen Mo offered the ceiling price in the industry.

Shen Mo thought that if this person didn't want it, he wouldn't be in a hurry. This kind of thing would not be left in his hands. In another ten years, even if he added a zero at the end, others would be scrambling to get it.

"I need to go back and think about it." Chang Baiqing frowned.

Shen Mo nodded. He knew that Chang Baiqing had to discuss this with the person behind the scenes.

"Can I take these two pieces of paper with me?"

"can."

A week later, Chang Baiqing showed up with a well-maintained young woman in her forties.

The young woman was wearing high-end designer clothes and had elegant manners.

When she saw Shen Mo, she took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of lively eyes.

"Shen Mo, this is my boss." Chang Baiqing introduced.

"Shen Mo." Shen Mo stretched out his hand and greeted the other party.

"You can call me Mrs. Lin." The other person's fair hand gently grasped Shen Mo's hand and then let go.

"Show me those two things!"

Originally Shen Mo wanted to make tea to entertain the guests, but seeing that the other party was so direct, Shen Mo just took out the two items.

The woman used a magnifying glass to look very carefully, and could hear a pin drop during the entire process.

Finally, after an hour of agony, the woman put down the magnifying glass.

"Okay. We'll take this price."

Shen Mo was not surprised by this result.

Chang Baiqing returned to the car and brought a box.

Shen Mo didn't expect that the other party would put such a huge amount of cash in the car.

After Shen Mo counted the money, the goods were handed over to the two men.

"Mr. Shen Mo, are you interested in helping me?"

After the transaction was completed, Mrs. Lin invited Shen Mo.

"Thank you for your kindness. I don't like being constrained. But if you want to identify porcelain and wooden antiques, you can come to me."

"Okay, this is my business card." Mrs. Lin gave Shen Mo a business card.

Seeing the title on the business card, Shen Mo was slightly surprised, because this was a very well-known auction house.

With this business, Shen Mo became more famous in the industry and more people came to him for appraisal.

At the same time, Shen Mo discovered that his proficiency would improve as he identified an item. It was just like killing monsters in a game, the higher the level, the slower the proficiency would increase.

Once you reach 80% proficiency in porcelain identification, your proficiency will be as slow as a turtle.

Shen Mo, on the other hand, didn't care and no longer paid attention to proficiency.

No matter how busy he is, Shen Mo will not arrange work when his younger brother and sister come home on weekends. This is a time for the brothers and sisters to spend time together.

Because of his current fame, living in this community is too eye-catching. Shen Mo recently discovered that there are often strangers wandering outside the community.

He didn't care, but he was afraid that his younger brothers and sisters would be targeted.

Fortunately, the residents of this community are all wealthy people from Vancouver, so the security is very strict. But no matter what, crowded places will be exploited, and Shen Mo will not wait until danger comes before remedying it.

So at the end of the year, Shen Mo proposed moving again.

This time, they moved into a villa area with a long history and many wealthy people.

After Mrs. Lin spent one million to buy the two pieces of porcelain, Shen Mo had already prepared for a rainy day and used the money to buy two connected villas in a quiet location in the city center.

In this era, it is considered a sky-high price.
