Fusheng Chronicle
Chapter 43
Half an hour later, the most famous underground antique market in Province Z.
Such a market is commonly known as the black market, and the price is slightly lower than that on the market, which is very popular with some tomb robbers.After all, the things they deal with are all fresh and shady goods that have just been poured out of the field, and serious antique shops will not accept them.
After coming and going, such a market has been derived.But someone was behind him, otherwise he would have been taken over by the police long ago.
When Zhou Shengxiao and Xu Yanbao rushed to the market, it had already been opened for a long time.The location is in a remote abandoned factory on the outskirts. Now it is brightly lit and there are various luxury cars parked on the side of the road.
Xu Yanbao took a deep breath, "Brother Zhou, this place is really amazing."
Zhou Shengxiao didn't feel anything. After getting off the taxi, the two walked side by side to the factory gate.There were three or five strong men in security uniforms standing at the door. They looked quite attractive, and when they saw Zhou Shengxiao's attire, they greeted them respectfully.
As soon as you enter the arena, you can hear the loud noise and hawking.It has to be said that this factory has a hidden secret. On the surface, it looks inconspicuous. It is just a dilapidated factory building, but in fact the sound insulation effect is excellent. Just now, they hardly heard the sound inside at all when they were outside.
People come and go, and there are all kinds of shops on a bottomless road.All the antiques are sold, the boss shouted from time to time, and many people stopped to choose carefully.The lights are dim, and if you want to buy things in such a situation, unless you have very good eyesight, you will probably be able to drill your eyes.
A smile appeared on Zhou Shengxiao's lips, and he said to Xu Yanbao beside him, "Have you brought all the money?"
Xu Yanbao nodded. He had followed Zhou Shengxiao's instructions to bring 10 yuan in cash, all of which he put in a small backpack.
"Then let's go." Zhou Shengxiao walked into the noisy meeting place like a stroll in the courtyard, and his appearance attracted many people to look at him.
Xu Yanbao rubbed his chin, "Brother Zhou, aren't we too conspicuous?"
"You also know?" Zhou Shengxiao said indifferently: "But this is also beneficial."
Before Xu Yanbao realized what Zhou Shengxiao meant by "benefits", he saw him walking forward, stopped in front of a shop, and gently bent down to pick up a bronze tripod and put it in his hand to play with.
The boss was a middle-aged man, and said with a smile on his face: "This gentleman has a good eye. This is a bronze tripod from the Zhou Dynasty. It was used for sacrifices in ancient times, and it is very valuable for collection."
In the eyes of everyone, although Zhou Shengxiao was dressed in a black Tang suit, he was too young and too handsome. Instead, he looked like a rich man waiting to be slaughtered.
Zhou Shengxiao smiled slightly, but the boss was stunned for a moment: "The paint under your copper tripod is all exposed."
This naked exposure made the boss' face darken, but this is also a common thing here.They often sell some imitations to this kind of people who seem to be taking advantage of them, and earn the difference.
Of course, there are times when it is discovered.The boss took back the bronze tripod silently, looked at it, and found that it was really a poor imitation, no wonder the young man in front of him could see it.Thinking so, he took out a porcelain bowl as white as jade from the wooden cabinet, and introduced: "Mr. Several of them bought from me but I didn’t sell them.”
Zhou Shengxiao still had that indifferent expression, "How much is the price?"
The boss stretched out five fingers, Zhou Shengxiao looked at it and said, "Fifty thousand?"
The boss squinted his eyes with a smile, "50."
"It's too expensive." Zhou Shengxiao frowned, looking at a loss: "And I don't know if yours is true..."
Seeing that the fish took the bait, the boss immediately said: "50 is really not expensive, so how about it, I will give you a discount, and 30 will be taken away. You can sell it outside, and you will definitely not be able to get it without a few million."
Zhou Shengxiao seemed to be a little moved, his eyes wandered around the booth, and suddenly he pointed to a piece of gray jade pendant in the corner and said, "I like that one very much, show it to me."
The boss gave it to him, and he was still trying to sell it: "Sir, let's take a look at that porcelain bowl. This jade pendant is just a broken jade I collected from the countryside, and it's not worth a lot of money."
Zhou Shengxiao said instead: "I really like this jade pendant, how much do you sell it for?"
The boss said casually, "I'll sell it to you for 500 yuan."
Zhou Shengxiao didn't say anything about paying, but the boss said again: "Sir, do you want this porcelain bowl?"
Zhou Shengxiao showed a embarrassed expression on his face: "But I don't bring enough money now, I will ask my friend to withdraw the money later."
If you come to this place, you will pay the money and deliver the goods, and you must not go back and forth and return the goods.Some booths have credit card machines, but the one in front of you does not.
The boss nodded and said with a smile: "Then I'll wait for you, and I'll give you this bowl."
As he spoke, he put the porcelain bowl into the wooden cabinet again, as if he really wanted to keep this bowl for Zhou Shengxiao.
Zhou Shengxiao took the jade pendant he bought back and walked around with Xu Yanbao.Most of the people hanging around here were vicious, Xu Yanbao was a little scared, and kept hiding behind Zhou Shengxiao in timidity.
"Why did you lie to that boss just now?"
Xu Yanbao asked curiously.Just now he saw that Zhou Shengxiao was actually acting, but he didn't know why he bought this tattered and inconspicuous jade pendant.
Zhou Shengxiao chuckled, "Good luck."
He didn't explain too much, he just stopped in front of a shop, followed the same pattern, and bought an old inkstone for 300 yuan by pretending to be a fool with a lot of money just now.
The factory has both an entrance and an exit, and there are so-called "eye-hands" at the exit.They are all professional antique connoisseurs hired with high salaries. If someone orders some treasures, they can bring them over for appreciation.After appreciating it, if it is confirmed that it is genuine and you want to sell it, the manager of this underground market will buy it as appropriate.
After going back and forth, this underground market has made a lot of money.They also make money from it, and in the long run it is as hidden as a casino and needs an introduction to get in.
However, dressing like Zhou Shengxiao is an exception.
When Zhou Shengxiao wandered to the exit, he inadvertently glanced at the two connoisseurs.They are not young anymore, two middle-aged people, they look very imposing, and there are several strong men escorting them, not afraid of making trouble.
Xu Yanbao muttered: "Brother Zhou, why do you always collect some junk? I've inquired about it. Those three connoisseurs are all very famous in the industry, and it's rare to get together on weekdays. Today is a good time for you to make a name for yourself."
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Shengxiao accepted three more items that Xu Yanbao regarded as "trash", but he didn't care, put them into a plastic bag together, and wandered around leisurely.
After walking around like this, Zhou Shengxiao has already bought seven items.The money spent is not much, only one ceramic pot cost 5 yuan, and the others are quite cheap to buy.
Seeing Zhou Shengxiao walking towards the exit, Xu Yanbao said in surprise: "Brother Zhou, are you just buying it?"
Xu Yanbao had never seen Zhou Shengxiao's skills, even if he knew that he was famous all over the world, he still couldn't find so many antiques in such a short period of time, right?Besides, from his point of view, the things Zhou Shengxiao bought were inconspicuous.
"Buy it." Zhou Shengxiao stepped forward, and soon came to the two connoisseurs. He put the plastic bag he was carrying on the table and said, "I'm here to invite the two masters to appraise."
"Old rules!" A strong man beside him took a step forward and said coldly, "If it's a fake, you'll have to pay 1 yuan."
Zhou Shengxiao nodded.The rule here is to look at the results of the appreciation. If it is a genuine product, no fee will be charged, but if it is a counterfeit product, it will charge 1 yuan, which is also to avoid wasting the time of the connoisseur.
The two connoisseurs cast their gazes on the plastic bag, and both showed disdainful expressions.At first glance, he is not an expert, and the antiques he bought are placed in plastic bags casually, so he is not afraid of damage.
But looking at Zhou Shengxiao in front of him, he really doesn't seem like a master who will be short of money.
The middle-aged connoisseur standing on the left, surnamed Liu, is the number one connoisseur of Gujufang, earning extra money in the black market in private.He opened the plastic bag first, checked out seven items with his gloved hand, and arranged them neatly on the table.
He first took out the one on the far left, which was the jade pendant that Zhou Shengxiao bought at first.After scrutinizing it for a while, he withdrew his initial contempt, and the expression on his face became serious.
"What's the matter, Old Liu?" Another connoisseur hurried forward. His surname is Ling, and he is not well-known, but his connoisseurship skills are excellent.
Old Liu said solemnly, "I think I should bring a damp cloth."
Immediately, a strong man came over with a clean damp cloth and dipped it in some special potion.Old Liu slowly wiped the jade pendant, gradually revealing the original smoothness of the jade pendant.Like the skin of a beautiful woman, it is white and delicate, and there seems to be afterimages under the light.
Everyone was shocked.This also includes Xu Yanbao, he thought it was a tattered thing at first, but he didn't expect it to be such a treasure.
The connoisseur surnamed Ling exclaimed: "It seems that this is a jade pendant worn by a nobleman in the Han Dynasty. It is also engraved with a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate. It is really rare."
Old Liu sighed softly: "If it wasn't for some dirt on it that made it inconspicuous, otherwise it wouldn't appear here. The market price is estimated to be more than 50 yuan. I wonder how much this gentleman bought?"
Zhou Shengxiao said lightly, "Five hundred."
"500 yuan?" The connoisseur surnamed Ling said in astonishment: "You are so lucky."
"What luck!" Xu Yanbao said angrily, "Our Brother Zhou is relying on strength!"
None of the people present believed what Xu Yanbao said, not to mention that he was just a little boy, Zhou Shengxiao's age and appearance alone were not convincing.
"Forget it." Old Liu waved his hand and said, "Let's move on to the next one."
He picked up an inkstone, observed it for a while, and then turned pale with shock: "This, this..."
"Could it be the real thing again?" The connoisseur surnamed Ling guessed.
"This is the long-lost Sifang Duan Inkstone of the Song Dynasty!"
Old Liu is usually best at inkstones, and he has always focused on researching this.So he will never admit his mistake with the inkstone in his hand!
Now, everyone's eyes turned to Zhou Shengxiao whose expression was still calm.Old Liu took a deep breath and said, "Besides, this is a royal tribute product, and the price has to be doubled. The estimated market price is between 100 million and 200 million."
The crowd was in an uproar!
There is no such thing as picking up leaks.First there were jade pendants worth half a million yuan, and now there are millions of inkstones!Who the hell is this kid!
In fact, the two connoisseurs at the exit are usually useless, taking money for nothing.It's not that they are lazy, but that there are not many genuine products in the market.
But today, genuine products appeared one after another!
Many people gathered here one after another, and some even left their stalls and ran over to watch the excitement.During the period, the boss who sold it to Zhou Sheng and Xiao Yupei, slapped his thigh at this time, and said angrily, "If I had known earlier, I would have kept it to myself!"
Someone mocked: "I'm afraid you won't be able to see that this is the real thing even if you keep it for decades."
At this time, Lao Liu had already begun to appreciate the third item.It could be seen that his hands were shaking, because he finally understood that the young man in front of him really relied on his strength!
That said, he is a rare master of curiosities!
"Yuan blue and white Guiguzi descending the mountain picture jar!"
"Jin Gai Yu Tuo Ru Porcelain Bowl!"
"Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Crock Cup!"
"Song Dynasty Royal Tribute Jade Ruyi!"
"Xuanwen Bronze Ding of the Western Zhou Dynasty!"
"..."
Every time an item was reported, Lao Liu's hands trembled a little.He was completely numb at the end, and could only hear the amazement and applause of the people around him.
After appreciating the seven antiques, and then estimating the prices, Xu Yanbao was horrified to find that his boss had earned tens of millions in just one night.
Finally, Old Liu respectfully put the things back into plastic bags, bent down and said, "I don't know who you are?"
Xu Yanbao was the first to report Zhou Shengxiao's name, "Fushengpu, Lord Zhou of Nanzhou!"
