Chapter 933 The Beauty Who Fell Into the Pit
Surrounded by the crowd, those who were arguing with the stall owner were Ye Tian's old acquaintances.
That Jiangnan beauty from New York's Juilliard School, Xu Lin, is from Shanghai, so it's not surprising to meet her here, it's just a coincidence.
The voice Ye Tian heard before came from her, so he was very familiar with it, so he walked over.
At the same time, another Jiangnan beauty, Fang Ning from Suzhou, was also at the scene, standing beside Xu Lin, with a look of common hatred on her pretty face.
Standing beside Fang Ning was a middle-aged man and woman, about forty years old. Judging from their location and appearance, they should be Fang Ning's parents, and they looked somewhat similar.
From these simple character relationships, Ye Tian quickly deduced the reason why Xu Lin and the others appeared here.
Fang Ning, who went home for the New Year, came to Shanghai with his parents, and Xu Lin, who was the host and Fang Ning's good sister, naturally wanted to go shopping with the good sister's family and act as a free tour guide.
Traveling to Shanghai, and now it is during the Spring Festival, the Old Town God's Temple is a must-see tourist attraction, so they will appear here.
Why did they argue with the stall owner? The pile of broken porcelain in front of Xu Lin and the tit-for-tat conversation between her and the stall owner are enough for Ye Tian to understand the general process of the matter.
When shopping and passing by this stall, Xu Lin, a girl, saw a vase on the stall. She stopped for a moment of joy, and was about to check it out. As for whether to buy it or not, that's another matter!
But who would have imagined it, the moment she was about to take the vase from the stall owner happily, the vase dropped and fell to pieces.
The vase broke in Xu Lin's hands, of course they couldn't pat their buttocks and get up and leave, how could such a good thing happen!
The stall owner, who was enthusiastic just now, immediately changed his face and began to claim, and the first thing he said was 8 million. How could Xu Lin, the little pepper, agree, and then the dispute broke out.
After standing on the periphery of the crowd and listening to a few words, Ye Tian immediately smiled and shook his head.
This is the most common trick in the antique market, and the same trick is performed every day in countless antique markets all over the country! The level of excitement varies, but the content is basically the same.
As ordinary tourists, many people do not understand the rules of the antique shop, as well as some taboos and precautions when visiting the antique market.
When they see an object they like,
When you are happy, you will often start to appreciate it. At this time, you must pay attention. There may be a big pit in front of you, waiting for you to jump down.
If you are an insider, no matter what you get and how much you like it, you will not take it from the stall owner. You must let the stall owner put it in a safe place, and then appreciate it yourself.
This is to distinguish the responsibilities of both parties and avoid incidents such as touching porcelain. Even if something happens, it is clear who is responsible.
But ordinary people don't know this, the moment they take things from the stall owner, some antique stall owners who are not authentic will let go of their hands in advance and start touching porcelain.
If the party being touched responds quickly enough and is relatively lucky, it may be able to escape the fate of being touched by luck.
If the reaction is even slower by a quarter of a second, if the thing in your hand is another piece of porcelain, then congratulations, you have become another mallet in the antique market!
What happened next was exactly the same as what Ye Tian saw at this time, only the people involved were different.
"You say that an antique is an antique! Don't just talk about it! An antique porcelain worth 8 million yuan will appear in your dilapidated booth? Who will believe it!
Haven't eaten pork, we haven't seen a pig run yet? There is such a valuable antique, you are willing to sell it on the street stall, and it was sent to the auction house eight lifetimes ago!
I think you are blackmail, touch porcelain! Be careful, I will sue you at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, so that you can't do business in this antique city, who is it? Are you crazy about money? "
Xu Lin was still fighting tit for tat, her words were very sharp, and she attacked the stall owner with cynicism.
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter at the scene, somewhat relieving the tense atmosphere.
While laughing, many people looked at the stall owner with disdain, with a bit of contempt in their eyes.
Those insiders who set up stalls and shops in the antique city, as well as collectors who often visit the antique city, naturally understand what is going on in front of them, and this is a vivid scene of touching porcelain!
Those tourists who passed by here and came up to watch, from their own perspective, it is impossible to look at the problem from the perspective of the stall owner, of course they support the beauty!
This girl isn't too stupid, she's much better than she was at the container auction back then, and she's made great progress!
Ye Tian was also smiling, and nodded appreciatively.
"What's wrong with the street stall? Who said that there are no valuable antiques on the street stalls. This is the Qing Kangxi Lang Kiln red long-necked vase, a rare antique porcelain. If you pay 8 million yuan, you are considered cheap!
This vase has a straight mouth, a long neck, a hanging belly, and a ring foot. The whole body is covered with Shilang kiln red glaze, and the bottom foot is covered with white glaze. It is slightly yellowed and has small grains. .
If you look at the bottom foot that is still in good condition, the six-character regular script of "Kangxi Years of the Great Qing Dynasty" is very clearly written. What I have said above is enough to prove the value of this piece of porcelain.
If you don’t pay compensation today, then don’t even think about leaving here. Even if you sue me at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, it’s okay, please go ahead, the compensation should be no less than a penny, eight million yuan! "
The stall owner said with a sneer that he was very firm in paying 8 million yuan in compensation for killing him.
He has seen this kind of scene before him a lot, so he naturally has a set of coping strategies, spewing out a bunch of specious technical terms is enough to stun the mallet in front of him who doesn't understand anything.
Then the other stall owners who practiced the stall together came out to help a few words, smooth things over, and soften the attitude of the person who was touched, and this matter is almost over!
Of course, eight million compensation is impossible, but maybe you can make a fortune, which is enough to pay for half a year's hard work.
While talking, the helper came.
"The Kangxi Langyaohong long-necked vase is indeed a very valuable antique porcelain. Langyaohong was created and fired during the Kangxi period and was fired by Lang Tingji, the governor of the pottery palace in the Qing Dynasty, so it is called Langyaohong.
Red-glazed porcelain is difficult to fire, and the finished product is not easy. It is a high-quality product in the official kiln porcelain of the Qing Dynasty. Among them, the Langyaohong fired in the Kangxi and Qianlong dynasties of the Qing Dynasty is the most precious, which can be encountered but not sought after.
In the domestic auction market, there have been several pieces of Langyaohong in recent years, all of which are of high value. Shanghai Mingxuan auctioned a bottle of Langyao red gallbladder last year, and the transaction price was 3.8 million yuan.
This long-necked bottle is larger than that one, and looks more exquisite. In my opinion, the market value should be higher, and it is still possible to sell for 8 million yuan! "
The vocal supporter was a middle-aged man, standing in the middle of the crowd, speaking eloquently, it sounded like that.
After the cooperation between the two, this girl Xu Lin was immediately stunned. She had seen this before, and she didn't know anything about Langyao red porcelain.
Xu Lin's eyes began to fluster, and she was a little at a loss.
The same was true for Fang Ning who was standing beside him, tears were already rolling in his eyes, and they were about to flow out.
Fang Ning's parents were also a little flustered and didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
They are just ordinary working-class people who have never been in contact with antiques at all, and they don't understand the fraudulent activities in antique shops, and they don't know anything about the prices of antique porcelain, so of course they will feel flustered.
A huge compensation of 8 million! Ordinary people have such a large amount of money!
Seeing the performance of the few of them, the stall owner's eyes immediately flashed a gleam of joy.
There is a show! Sure to make a fortune today!
With that said, the stall owner was ready to continue the attack and reap the fruits of victory.
At this moment, a clear and clear voice suddenly came from the periphery of the crowd, which sounded a bit disdainful.
"Kangxi Langyao red long-necked bottle, a rare treasure! Even if it is broken, it is worth admiring. Let me appreciate it and open your eyes!"
It was Ye Tian who spoke, and he walked in through the crowd while speaking loudly.
Raymond and Walker were about to follow in, but he stopped them with gestures, so they stayed on the periphery of the crowd with Mr. Liu.
Hearing Ye Tian's words, everyone at the scene turned to look at him with curiosity.
As for Xu Lin, who was the person involved, and Fang Ning, who was standing beside her, when they heard Ye Tian's voice, their faces immediately showed an unbelievable expression, as if they couldn't believe their ears.
Immediately afterwards, ecstasy quickly appeared in their eyes, and bright smiles bloomed on their faces, and the haze was swept away!
"Wow! Ye Tian, how could it be you? You fell from the sky! When did you come to Shanghai? I watched the news two days ago. Aren't you in Beijing?"
Xu Lin turned around quickly, covered her mouth with her hands, and shouted in great surprise, almost jumping for joy.
"Ye Tian, hello, I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence!"
Fang Ning was also full of surprise, but his expression was relatively quiet, the same as before.
The expressions of the rest of the people at the scene were different, some were pleasantly surprised, some were surprised, and some were excited and waiting to see the good show!
Why is this guy here? And it seems that he is very familiar with those two beauties, so there is a good show to watch now!
The face of the stall owner and his friend changed dramatically, and their hearts sank.
I go! He was so unlucky that he ran into this guy, this time it's over, the cooked duck flew away!
Ye Tian walked into the center of the crowd in two or three steps, and greeted the two beauties with a smile on his face.
"Happy Chinese New Year, Xu Lin, Fang Ning, I didn't expect to meet you in the Antique City, what a coincidence! Could it be that you are planning to change careers, stop doing luxury bag business, and plan to sell antiques? There is progress!"
"Happy Chinese New Year, Ye Tian, don't make fun of us, we're just here for shopping! Not for business at all! I never thought about changing careers!"
Xu Lin also paid homage to Ye Tian for a new year, her face was a little red, and she was somewhat embarrassed.
"Happy New Year, Ye Tian, let me introduce you, these are my parents, they have always wanted to see you, and thank you in person!"
Fang Ning stepped forward and said with a smile, introducing his parents.
At this time, her parents were watching Ye Tian, their faces were full of surprises, and their eyes were full of gratitude.
"Uncle and Auntie, I wish you two New Year's greetings. Happy New Year! It's a pleasure to meet you. You two look so young. They look like Fang Ning's parents! I believe even brother and sister-in-law! You're only in your early twenties! "
Ye Tian first paid his respects for a new year, and then offered a lot of praise.
"Hahaha, Xiaoye, you are so good at talking, how can we be so young!"
Fang Ning's mother said politely, her smile was brighter than flowers, and she obviously enjoyed the compliment very much.
"Hahaha"
Xu Lin and Fang Ning covered their mouths and laughed coquettishly, overjoyed.
The rest of the people at the scene all rolled their eyes and complained secretly.
Dare you kid say, you are in your early twenties! Why don't you say you are underage? Wouldn't it be younger!
