Chapter 347 Unexpected Benefits
Chapter 347: Unexpected Benefits
"I once went to the countryside of Jiangxi last year and met a collector who played porcelain. I forgot what his name was, but his wife had a very profound impression on me." At this point, A San deliberately paused. Sure enough, not only Xiaoqian and others, but also Jia Sidao, also looked at A San unexpectedly.
The meaning of this statement is quite intriguing.
Even if everyone must understand in their hearts that A San has nothing to do with this so-called porcelain collector. Otherwise, A San would not need to mention this incident at this time. However, since A San has said it, what is the reason that A San has a deep impression of this collector’s wife?
This undoubtedly aroused everyone's curiosity. Whether it is the story itself or the gossip news that appears in the story, as long as it can make people listen attentively, it will be a good story.
At this time, Jia Sidao remembered that what A San had just said was a very powerful expert in telling stories and other stories! After careful consideration, it really tasted like this!
After successfully attracting everyone's attention, A San couldn't help but speak again: "Which is the wife of this Tibetan friend, speaking of it, she is also a typical village woman in the countryside."
Suddenly, the two women, Ali and Xiaoqian, were both angry and glared at A San.
But A San didn't care at all and continued, "Often, this wife is very opposed to her husband and spends money to tinker with porcelain. In her own words, it is, 'Porcelain cannot be eaten as food'. What's more, this collector's own eyesight is not very good. It's just picking up some porcelain as a collection interest."
This type of collector enthusiasts occupies the vast majority of the antique market.
"But one day, the wife of this collector, somehow, spent six or seven hundred yuan to buy a large porcelain jar. Naturally, it shocked her husband and many collectors. So those collectors came to the door one after another and started talking. This said, looking at the texture, it should be something from the Ming Dynasty; the other said, looking at the body of the porcelain, at least something from the Tang Dynasty; and some people even said that the shape of this thing may be from the Han Dynasty. This made the wife and her husband so excited." A San smashed the corners of his mouth a few times, as if he was just like the owner in the story, and he was still quite impressed!
"Then what is this big porcelain jar? What era is it from?" Xiaoqian was a little anxious when she heard this. "Can it be that she really spent six or seven hundred yuan to get the treasure, right?"
"Yes, that wife has the same idea as you." Asanshen nodded with consent and said, "No way, they were secretly planning how much money they could earn for such a porcelain jar."
"Damn A San, you bullied me again." Xiaoqian soon understood that A San was using this to ruin her. She was the "wife" in the story.
"No, absolutely not, don't think too much about me. Then don't care about me." Asan said shiver, as if he was afraid of Xiaoqian, so he used it to threaten him and was about to complain to his girlfriend. Then, the end of the story was soon told, "However, you can also think about it. Since that collector doesn't understand porcelain very well, it's just out of interest. Those other collectors who have heard of the news all expressed their opinions after seeing it, but those who are really willing to take action rarely appear. You can understand what their eyesight in collecting porcelain is."
"That's not necessarily true." Jia Sidao said, "If I were a friend of that collector, I wouldn't understand it very well. But the things were more certain. They were good things. I couldn't say anything. I would go with the flow and say some decent words until the end of this family, I couldn't hold on. When I wanted to take action, I would take the opportunity to get the things over. In this way, I should be able to spend a lot of money left, right?"
"You are very treacherous," said Ah San. "But if it were me, I would do this if I encountered such a situation. Hehe, don't look at me like this."
A San said to Xiaoqian and others, "In the antique collection line, it is indeed very glamorous on the surface. It is said that it may appear in the antique street market. In your eyes, it may be considered very dark, right?"
"Is there anything worse than 'bumping into a car'?" Xiaoqian asked with some difficulty.
"Xiaoqian, don't listen to A San talking nonsense there." Ali pulled Xiaoqian, then glared at A San, as if she was blaming A San for causing Xiaoqian to betrayed.
A San could only spread his hands helplessly and said, "Ali, I know that what I said now is indeed not good for those who are new to the collection industry. It is easy to hurt their enthusiasm. However, you are also a person in the industry. Wouldn't you know the darkness of collecting the industry?"
When I saw Ali, I finally didn't say anything else. A San continued, "The atmosphere on the Antique Street in Linhai area is quite good. Xiao Jia, I have agreed with you, because when you want to open a jade shop here, I also took you to visit several of the bosses who opened a shop on Antique Street. I believe you have a deep understanding of the power of this circle, right?"
"That's natural." Jia Sidao nodded, arched his fist to A San, and said, "At this point, I haven't thanked you yet. Tell yourself, should you find an opportunity to go out for a meal, or what about other things?"
"This is what you said." Asan said with a smile, "I can't say that I can use your place tonight."
"Tonight?" Jia Sidao was curious. However, A San was not here and continued to talk about this topic. Jia Sidao had to put such a question in his heart for the time being. Subconsciously, the other party looked at Jia Sidao at this time. The two of them looked at each other in the air, and A Li quickly diverted his gaze. And Jia Sidao's mind soon emerged. What A San said was that the place where he needed help tonight was the tacit understanding topic that A Li wanted A San to express just now?
"In the Linhai area, it is precisely because the bosses on Antique Street have a certain circle. Most antique merchants who want to mess up the entire market are difficult to interfere with important matters on Antique Street." A San is still talking, "especially those shops representing the storefront of Antique Street, anyone who wants to open a shop in Antique Street needs to consider their abilities. Xiao Zhao, if you were the owner of your pawn shop, would you be willing to open your own shop in a corner of the intersection of Antique Street, or would you be willing to directly open the streets of Antique Street?"
"Of course I just drove it on the Antique Street." Zhao Yun replied without thinking.
"That's right." A San nodded and said, "But why is the 'Hengji Pawn' you are now located in a corner at the intersection of Antique Street?"
"This," Zhao Yun couldn't answer any more.
"It is because of outsiders that it is really difficult to enter the local antique circle in Linhai. What's more, although your boss opens a pawn shop, he is not an authentic collection industry." A San said with certainty, "If Xiao Jia, after you enter the antique collection industry, you are not a local from Linhai, you may not have to think about opening a jade shop. In this way, with such an antique circle, the influential antique merchants in the entire region have become a group, and some other antique markets have no trouble. Most of the owners of antique street shops are locals in Linhai. I believe that they would not want the antique market in the entire Linhai County to be chaotic and disorderly, right?"
"That's of course." Jia Sidao said, "Although, it seems that it's too far to say something about Linhai's antique market. However, if someone really wants to destroy the market in this place, we antique collectors will do their best."
"Haha, Xiao Jia, you have this idea, that's right. Uncle Zhou really didn't recommend you wrong." A San said, "As long as your 'green fat, red and thin' opens, then as the boss, your identity in Antique Street will be very different. At least, it is much more important than an idle person like me."
"No, there is such a good thing?" Jia Sidao didn't know when he was planning to open a jade shop in the Antique Street, but he didn't know that there was such an advantage! Even if Jia Sidao was not very clear about the energy of Ah San in the Antique Street, he still knew a little. Even so, it made Jia Sidao, a newcomer in the Antiques Industry, envious.
Now that Ah San said this, wouldn’t it be said that after Jia Sidao opened a ‘green fat, red and thin’ jade store, he could not only expand the profits he made on gambling stones to maximize, but also allow himself to further develop in the local antique collection?
"Haha, what's so surprising?" Asan shrugged, but he didn't care at all. Even the words he said seemed to feel that it was so calm. "The specific situation, what advantages and obligations need to be fulfilled, you will know it yourself. For example, what you mentioned in the "weekly diary" that you want to seek some deadly things on the "Hengji Pawnshop". If it is after your jade store opens, then the so-called interpersonal relationship will not become a problem."
"How do you say it?" Jia Sidao asked.
"For example, you and I both liked a dead thing at the same time." A San said, "At the same price, you must be the owner of the antique street shop, and you have the priority to acquire it. Do you understand?"
Jia Sidao was a little surprised when he heard this. After touching his nose, Jia Sidao suddenly felt that what he said was not true?
"However, if you have other antique street shop owners with more experienced experiences, such as Uncle Zhou Fugui, you will not be very easy to grab if you want to grab something." A San said, "Fortunately, everyone is in the same circle. If there is something you really like, as long as you make a little noise, ordinary people will not be embarrassed to grab it with you."
"That's natural." Jia Sidao nodded. After all, harmony is the most important thing. At least, maintain the superficial harmony!
But what the two of them said was that Xiaoqian and others looked at each other, and they were very curious.
Speaking of which, for them, these conversations can undoubtedly be heard as interesting stories. Moreover, even if they have heard them and know them in their hearts, it is enough. In the future, unless they encounter some trouble on the Antique Street, they want to find Jia Sidao to help. Otherwise, there is actually no big difference between knowing and not knowing.
"Since the big businesses on Antique Street are so united, why do there be some 'bumping' phenomena on Antique Street?" Xiaoqian asked with some difficulty.
"Speaking of this, the antique market in Linhai is quite clear." Speaking of this issue, Ah San was helpless. "Compared with other places, big dirty things will not happen often. It's like the whole market uniting, forcing others to sell family treasures, and taking advantage of others to take advantage of the situation. As for 'bumping into the car', you can't hope that this ancient business will disappear in the antique market, right? That's too unrealistic."
"That's right," Zhao Yun said, "Although I didn't visit much of the antique street here, I also found that there were many collectors from outside. Sometimes I would play a little bit of 'bumping' and so on. As the saying goes, there will be no fish when the water is clear. Maybe even the owners of those antique shops are happy to see this small situation happening."
"Xiao Zhao's mentality is really good." Asan praised with a smile.
As the saying goes, if all events like "deception" disappear, can the antique market still be called an antique market? For example, after entering a casino and not participating in gambling, what else do you have to go to the casino? If you really want to be serious, even if you make up a story about antiques casually, it would be a scam.
Without the "story" mentioned by these vendors, the entire antique market will inevitably lose its color, right?
Then, A San told Zhao Yun and the others again about the "collection story" he had just told. It turned out that when the couple was holding high expectations for the large porcelain jar at hand, they finally met a collector who came to check it out and was more knowledgeable.
After seeing it, the man just smiled but didn't answer. The couple naturally refused. They almost tried their best, but in the end they heard the truth from the mouths of those who knew about the travelers. It turned out that this large porcelain jar was not a precious porcelain, but the ones used by monks to store the bodies after their death. And the original ones, who were noisy about the Ming, Tang, and even the Chinese porcelain, were all silent after hearing it.
"So, it is very rare to spend a small price and acquire an authentic product. It requires great luck and opportunity." A San concluded, "But it is not without it."
Next, A San told a real example, which happened to Linhai’s colleagues. This is different from the first story and is undoubtedly quite convincing.
When this collector traveled to Sichuan, he felt that he could bring something back, so he collected an old Chairman Mao seal from a place where the tourist commemorative coins were sold. At that time, he just thought that this seal looked quite unique among many commemorative medals of the same specifications. The seller said it was made of copper, but the collector didn't pay much attention. There were many other small souvenirs together with this seal.
Moreover, according to him, he himself does not like collecting seals. It can only be said that if he usually looks good, he will only take some of the things he likes. After returning to Linhai, he did not pay much attention to these souvenirs, and directly put them together and put them in his drawer casually.
Until one time, another collector found this commemorative seal from the many gadgets he piled in the drawer. At that time, his friend just felt that the weight of the seal was a little wrong. He mentioned it to him and said that if the other party was interesting, he could go and check the proportion.
If you are not interested, you can give this Chairman Mao seal to him.
No matter what, this collector is still a collector. Although he is not very good at commemorative medals and other things, he can know that since his friend is moved, then this seal may still be hopeful. As a result, after personally testing, he found that the thing was actually gold!
