Chapter 915
The bustling city style can also be called the same, and there is no difference. The skyscrapers are full of traffic, and the noisy sounds are coming one after another, as if the high-pitched and exciting string music is endless. Fang Yuan is also used to it, turning a blind eye, strolling on the streets, looking around, thinking about what gifts to buy?
There are so many things to choose from for birthday gifts. It seems difficult to give new ideas. It seems too vulgar to buy only expensive ones. But there are some cheap things that are not good at...
While Fang Yuan was hesitating, he suddenly saw a familiar figure passing by at the end of the street. In an instant, he was stunned for a moment, and instinctively rushed to chase after him.
But when I chased him to the intersection, the man disappeared.
"Where did you run away? I was there just now?" Fang Yuan frowned and looked at it. He saw that there were many people and cars at the intersection of the street, and there was endless flow of people. When he walked here alone, it was like dripping water entering the sea, completely melting. No wonder he could not see it.
"Maybe you read it wrong?" Fang Yuan became suspicious.
After a while, Fang Yuan's eyes lit up, but he gained something else. He saw that there was a very spacious antique shop on one side of the street.
The antique shop is divided into two floors. The first floor lobby is composed of three door shops. The interior decoration is very gorgeous and retro. There are gorgeous lights in broad daylight, revealing the antique beauty.
Fang Yuan took a look and felt that the store might have something he needed, so he walked over easily. When he reached the door, he stopped and stopped and watched.
The store is wide and the decoration should be more sophisticated, otherwise it will appear very empty. The owner of this antique shop undoubtedly understands this principle, so he is not stingy with money in the decoration of the door shop. Painted buildings and carved beams are beautiful. Various red, yellow and white palace lanterns are hung in the air, with the light flashing, like a dream.
Fang Yuan looked at it for a while and finally walked in. As soon as he entered the door, his feet stepped on the floor of the store, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but look down at it.
The floor of the store is very clean and tidy and spotless. However, this floor is not ordinary ceramic tiles or wooden floors, but stones, and stones cut into floors.
Fang Yuan has good eyesight, so he can naturally distinguish the difference between ceramic tiles and stones. The most important thing is that he also knows that these stones on the floor are probably not that simple...
At this moment, a beautiful girl wearing a plain white cheongsam and swaying figure came over, with a bright smile on her face, and greeted warmly: "Hello, sir, welcome."
"Well..." Fang Yuan nodded slightly. He directly explained his purpose: "I will celebrate an old man's birthday in two days and plan to buy a gift that suits the situation."
Hearing this, the girl was even happier and hurriedly said, "Sir. Please sit down and talk slowly."
The service in this store is more user-friendly. In the spacious space, a sofa chair is reserved for entertaining guests. Fang Yuan walked over and sat down, and the girl came over with a cup of tea.
"Thank you..." Fang Yuan was drinking tea while looking at the antiques and antiques in the store and asked casually: "Do you have any introduction to the birthday gift?"
"I wonder what the psychological price of sir is?" The girl asked a very practical question.
"Well..." Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and smiled slightly: "As long as the things are really good, the price is not a problem."
Of course, Fang Yuan is qualified to say this. After all, with his current wealth, he can be called a rich man who is not short of money. I think the things in the antique store will not be so expensive that he can't afford it.
At the same time, the girl's eyes were bright and she couldn't help but observe Fang Yuan secretly. Although she was not a person who judged people by her appearance, she could not believe whatever the guests said, right?
At least after observing, the girl also felt that Fang Yuan was not the kind of person who talked nonsense and had some confidence. When she opened a business, the most popular one was definitely such rich and willful customers.
For a moment, the girl's smile became more and more enthusiastic, and she hurriedly said, "Sir, why don't we go up the second floor to see what's going on? There are many things upstairs and the quality is also good."
"Yes." Fang Yuan didn't care and followed the girl to the second floor.
The space on the second floor is similar to that on the first floor, but it is a bit narrower. The main reason is that there are several VIP rooms on the second floor, which are used to receive major customers. When people are in the VIP room, then close the door, the transaction information will not be leaked easily, and it has a good confidentiality effect...
Now Fang Yuan enjoyed such treatment and walked into the VIP room under the invitation of the girl.
The VIP room is elegantly decorated, similar to the bedroom study. It not only contains hot water and fragrant tea, but also various candies and pastries, deliberately creating a comfortable atmosphere and making people feel at home.
As soon as Fang Yuan sat down, the girl came over with a book similar to a picture album and said with a smile: "Sir, the fine antiques in our store are basically here. You can browse them first. If you like something, I will take them to check it out for you."
"Okay..." Fang Yuan nodded happily, thinking that the process was good. It was like buying a house. Looking at the sample first and then going to the field inspection can save a lot of time.
The album is quite thick, similar to the paper page of the picture textbook, carefully printed a series of bright and colorful "works". These works are naturally all kinds of antiques.
This antique shop is big, so there are naturally many things. However, the richest and more diverse ones are three categories: calligraphy and painting, porcelain and jade. Famous calligraphy and paintings, Ming and Qing porcelain, and modern jade jewelry are undoubtedly the best-selling things on the market.
In the antique market, calligraphy and paintings, especially calligraphy and paintings of famous artists, have always been popular among everyone, no matter which dynasty or dynasty, the calligraphy and paintings of famous artists are mainly the materials of calligraphy and paintings, which determine that they are easily destroyed during the process of circulation, so there will definitely be fewer and fewer passing on from generation to generation. Things are scarce, and the prices are definitely higher, which is very normal.
As for the porcelain from the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially the official kiln porcelain from the court, the royal family spared no effort, gathered the best craftsmen and the most powerful painters, and used the best materials to burn porcelain that was priced at gold.
Therefore, the official kiln porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties can be regarded as the peak of the history of porcelain, which is difficult to overcome in later generations, so naturally they have repeatedly created record-breaking transaction prices.
As for jade and jewelry, it is the opposite of other antiques. Generally speaking, antiques must have a certain amount of time to settle. After being passed down for dozens or hundreds of years, the price will gradually increase and appreciate as the age goes.
However, jade jewelry is a bit different. In addition to some exquisite ancient jades handed down from generation to generation, modern carved jade jewelry is more attractive. After all, with the advanced modern technology, carving craftsmen can make full use of various high-end equipment to process the jade the most meticulously, making the jade exude an unparalleled gorgeous beauty.
It is not that the craftsmanship of ancient craftsmen is not as good as that of modern craftsmen. The main reason is that the tools at hand are very different, which is not a crime of war. Moreover, in the process of the circulation of ancient jade jewelry, except for the rare beautiful jade that was passed down from generation to generation, the surface is thick, crystal clear, and very beautiful. The world of the large tribes are unearthed, with many stains. Judging from the modern aesthetic, it is not beautiful.
After all, not everyone can appreciate the spots of ancient beauty unearthed from ancient jade. Ordinary people in modern times still appreciate the exquisite beauty of modern jewelry.
Fang Yuan was similar. After casually opening the page of the album, his eyes stopped moving. I saw that the thing on the album was a carefully crafted longevity peach. Judging from the album, the longevity peach was quite large in size, as if it was carved from white jade. There were green peach leaves underneath, but the peach tip was slightly pink, and the shape was very realistic, pink and seductive, and lifelike.
Looking at the price tag, it is quite a good number. Two sixes are the first, and four zeros are behind, and sixty-six thousand. It is enough to dare to price such a high price, which is enough to show that things are either cheating people or worth the money.
The girl next to her was also very eye-catching. When she saw Fang Yuan staring at the things, she immediately introduced: "Sir, I just want to recommend this to you. This is a longevity peach carved by Hetian jade. It is written by famous jade carvings in Beijing. It has a perfect appearance and is indeed the best gift for birthday celebrations."
"Well..." Fang Yuan watched for a while, then nodded and said, "The things look good, go and take them to take a look."
"Okay!" The girl responded quickly and smiled. Although she didn't have any commissions after selling things, if she had good performance, there would be bonuses at the end of the month. With this motivation, she was naturally full of motivation and went out to get things easily.
The girl went there but never came back for a long time.
At the beginning, Fang Yuan didn't have any special feeling and continued to look through the album. After all, the album was very exquisite and he also enjoyed it. But after he finished reading the album, he found that the girl had not come back yet, which made him a little strange.
"What's going on?" Fang Yuan was puzzled. He knew that he was a big customer and was a customer who pointed out that he wanted to buy valuables. The girl was so negligent and still wanted to do business?
When Fang Yuan was confused, the door of the VIP room opened again. At this time, two people walked in. The head was a thin middle-aged man wearing a neat uniform, as if he was a manager and supervisor. Behind him was a cautious and trembling salesperson.
With a glance, Fang Yuan frowned slightly, and it became clear.
"Sir, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." As soon as the middle-aged man walked in, he immediately bowed to apologize: "It's all because of our negligence and failure to update the album in time, so that he made such a low-level mistake..."
Fang Yuan understood, closed the album casually, tapped his fingers on the table, and said carefully: "What do you mean is that the longevity peach I want... is out of stock?"
Although Fang Yuan's tone was plain and there was no vicious expression, for some reason, at this moment, the middle-aged man felt a flood of pressure coming, which made him unable to help but stretch out his hand to wipe his sweat, and said in fear and fear: "Sir, this is our wrong, please forgive me..."
