MTL - Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes-Chapter 949 Huguoqiao Antique City
Chapter 949 Huguo Bridge Antique City
Kundi is a good place. In July, the highest temperature in other areas has soared to 378 degrees, but here it still maintains a very mild and comfortable temperature. It is precisely because of this that the tourism here is very popular during the summer vacation every year.
Li Mo pushed the suitcase out of the airport, looked up at the sun, took a few breaths of air and reminded Chen Xiaoyan beside him: "The altitude here is high, if you feel unwell, please tell me in time, don't hold on."
"I know, little uncle."
Chen Xiaoyan is still carrying the long tube that can be assembled into a long stick at any time, which seems to have become a habit. While waiting for the taxi, Li Mo couldn't help but said: "You don't need to carry a weapon with me, who can get close to me. When you get to the hotel, put the weapon in the room and save it on your back." running around."
"Little uncle, I'm practicing kung fu, it's fine."
Li Mo couldn't say anything more. Everyone said that this is a way of practicing. I can't persuade her not to work so hard.
A taxi slowly stopped in front of the two of them. Li Mo put the luggage into the trunk of the car, and sat in the back seat with Chen Xiaoyan.
"Handsome and beautiful, are you here to travel?"
Chen Xiaoyan was about to answer yes, but Li Mo said first: "Come to visit relatives, master, take us to the Intercontinental Hotel."
"okay."
The taxi starts and goes straight along the elevated road. Chen Xiaoyan looked at the navigation map on her mobile phone, and saw that the car did not reach the destination directly, and seemed to be taking a detour along the elevated road. But the little uncle beside him didn't say anything, so he could only hold back his silence. After driving for about forty minutes, the taxi finally heard a doorman running up to help open the door of the Intercontinental Hotel.
"Two, the fare is eighty-nine yuan."
Li Mo got out of the car without saying a word, but Chen Xiaoyan snorted coldly: "Are you treating us like a winner, and should I call the police?"
"Little girl, you must have evidence for what you say." The taxi driver was not in a hurry, but showed a hint of warning.
Chen Xiaoyan took out her mobile phone: "I have recorded your driving route, isn't it 89 yuan? I will give you a lot of money."
After paying with the mobile phone, Chen Xiaoyan got out of the car angrily.
Li Mo had already moved all the suitcases out of the car, and seeing her looking like she was about to fight, he couldn't help saying: "Just get used to it, and follow me to practice Tai Chi, just cultivate your body and mind."
"I really want to throw him on the ground with a stick, and rub him back and forth hard."
"To deal with this matter, you have to be calm, it's up to me."
Li Mo saw that the taxi was about to drive away, so he took a photo with his mobile phone, and then sent a message saying: This is the first time I came to Kundi, and it only costs more than 30 yuan to get there from the airport to the hotel, but the taxi driver here It was so enthusiastic that he took us around for a long time and finally paid three times the fare. Friends who like this kind of service can come here to enjoy the preferential treatment if they have nothing to do.
Chen Xiaoyan watched him send it out, her eyes lit up, she was still a junior uncle who would make trouble.
After checking in, Li Mo and Chen Xiaoyan had a quick bite to eat before going out for a stroll.
But what he said, rushed to the hot search in just half an hour. Originally, Li Mo was a topical figure, and countless media were watching his every move to see when he would make something big happen.
Sure enough, after the Millennium Shengzang Group liked it, various media outlets took action one after another. Traffic is wealth, and whoever is late will eat less cake.
Then Kundi officials received the exact news, which has two meanings: first, Li Mo, a well-known treasure hunting expert and double-job professor at Peking University and Tsinghua University, arrived in Kundi. The national treasure was born. Second, as soon as he arrived in Kundi, he was slaughtered as a fat sheep.
After I finished Duzi, I saw major video sites, and many media outlets received fierce complaints from tourists from all over the country. All of a sudden, the Kundi government was pushed to the forefront.
"Little uncle, I guess they will want to cry but have no tears." Chen Xiaoyan smiled, as if the victory had already been won.
"In Yanjiao, Kyoto, such complaints are strictly prohibited, and any one received is dealt with very seriously. This is the top priority. Since what we are doing is the tourism market, all kinds of supporting services must be fully followed. On. Tourists have a good sense of experience, and only then can a good reputation be fermented.”
Chen Xiaoyan was thoughtful.
"If a company can do a good job in service, then the company will have long-term development potential and unlimited potential. During this period of time, take a look and think about it. I will arrange a job for you when you return to Kyoto. related to supporting services.”
"Little uncle, I'm worried that I can't do well."
"Your aunt was just a financial executive of a foreign company back then, but now she is the president of the Millennium Shengzang Group, controlling a trillion-dollar market. Your elder brother was born as a soldier king, and now he is the general manager of Security Shield Company, with thousands of employees Those who have been trained by him are obedient. What are you worried about, no matter how bad you do it, how bad it can be."
Chen Xiaoyan let out an 'oh'
"Master, go to Huguoqiao Antique City."
When Li Mo went to Myanmar to participate in a public offering, he passed through Kundi’s airport, but he never visited the antique city seriously.
Huguoqiao Antique City is currently the only remaining old-fashioned collection market in Kundi. After long-term development, it has formed a fixed Saturday Taobao stall. Every Saturday, at eight or nine in the morning, there are already sounds of bargaining and bargaining in the market.
Stallers include both local fixed dealers and itinerant vendors from all over the country. The people who come to Taobao to pick up leaks are not only experts in opening stores, but also amateurs who like to collect. Here, porcelain, bronze, jade, miscellaneous pieces, etc. can be picked up.
Visiting the antique market is also Li Mo’s favorite. It’s interesting to search for leaks and bargain.
"The two of you are here to travel, right? Many foreign tourists come here. If it happens to be Saturday, nine out of ten will go there for a stroll. It's not too far from here, about 20 minutes away. But it's okay to go, but I would also like to remind you all, don’t be in a hurry to inquire about something you fancy, there are too many tricks for playing with antiques.”
Li Mo just smiled and nodded, Chen Xiaoyan murmured in her heart, there are still good people.
"If you are really interested in antiques, there is still a time-honored antique shop in the Huguoqiao Antique Market. It is said to have a history of more than 100 years. There are many good things in it. Although the price is high, the things are guaranteed to be real. .”
The driver changed the subject, but Li Mo still just smiled.
"That antique shop is called Qi Jing Zhai, you can go in and have a look when you get there."
Chen Xiaoyan also heard a different taste. The driver's enthusiasm is paving the way for these words, and the only little favor he had for him suddenly disappeared.
The two of them didn't respond. The driver kept talking about how good Qi Jingzhai's reputation was and what priceless antiques he had sold. He almost said that he was a professional introducer to their shop.
The taxi was parked on the side of the main road outside Antique Street. After Li Mo got off the car, he saw Chen Xiaoyan's face was not good-looking, and he couldn't help laughing: "Did you get fainted by that driver?"
"It's not that I'm dizzy, it's that I'm bored."
"Haha, in the future, you will often encounter such things at work. You have to exercise your brain nerves. I have walked around the antique market in Modu with me. It is very important to cooperate when encountering good things."
"Yeah, little uncle, give me a hint when the time comes, shall we go to the street stalls outside or go to the antique shop first?"
"Let's go casually. This Taobao depends on the eyesight and the opportunity. Sometimes a little casualness will have unexpected gains."
The Huguoqiao Antique Market is indeed the oldest market. There are so many street stalls that you can see rows of stalls in the streets and alleys. Coupled with the outdoor temperature of around 25 degrees, it will feel particularly comfortable to be exposed to the sun.
Tourists and businessmen from all over the world are fighting wits and courage, and staged a series of love and killing dramas. In Kundi, there is an obvious difference from other places, that is, the colorful ethnic costumes seen in the flow of people in demand represent that they come from different ethnic minorities. Of course, their accents are also particularly strange.
"Little uncle, the ethnic style clothes that young lady is wearing are very beautiful."
Beautiful women naturally pay more attention to beautiful clothes and jewelry. Chen Xiaoyan pointed to a booth not far away, and there was a public sign next to it, which said deaf-mute people, please choose by yourself, no bargaining.
No one looked at this booth, but on the other hand, people stopped to choose from the booths on both sides.
Li Mo looked at the clothes on her body. They were beautiful and full of ethnic characteristics, but she didn't know which ethnic group she belonged to.
Chen Xiaoyan and the beautiful stall owner exchanged glances, and gestured to express that they wanted to see what was on the stall.
This booth mainly displays all kinds of silver ornaments. Judging from the oxidized gray state of the surface, it seems that they are all old objects.
The silver ornaments are also full of national characteristics, ranging from a silver hat on the head to a small earring ring.
Chen Xiaoyan knelt down to take a look at some exquisite silver ornaments, and then asked: "Little uncle, do you think these are beautiful?"
"Why are you buying these?"
"I feel pretty."
Li Mo smiled and said: "You can buy any ethnic silver jewelry you want in the gold and silver jewelry store, and they are all new. Why buy this old one?"
Chen Xiaoyan was dumbfounded by the question, Li Mo secretly sighed, this child is not vigilant at all, he is simply overflowing with kindness. When someone put up a sign saying that she was deaf-mute, she believed it.
"Then don't buy it."
Chen Xiaoyan was about to put it down, but the stall owner became anxious immediately, gesticulating with both hands.
"I don't know sign language."
Chen Xiaoyan waved her hand.
"She said that if you really like it, she didn't give you ten yuan for each item."
Li Mo said leisurely from the side.
"Ah, so cheap." Chen Xiaoyan turned her head to look at him, and asked strangely, "Little uncle, do you understand dumb language?"
"Of course, she also said that seeing how beautiful you are, she would buy three and get one free."
The young girl in ethnic costume looked at Li Mo's face, her expression sank, and she couldn't help but said, "Get rolling."
Chen Xiaoyan stared blankly at the boss, then suddenly covered her mouth and smiled, got up and took Li Mo's arm and walked forward: "Little uncle, I almost believed what you said just now, I really thought silver jewelry was so cheap."
"Didn't you hear that her accent is the same as your hometown accent?"
Li Mo was speechless.
"Hahaha..."
Chen Xiaoyan didn't know what to think of, instead of getting angry, she smiled happily.
"Little Martial Uncle, your method is too bad, it ruined other people's work all at once."
Li Mo didn't answer, he stopped in front of a booth, which was quite big, and there were two bosses watching. There were more than 20 pieces of porcelain, more than a dozen pieces of pottery and some pieces of porcelain.
"Little Master Uncle, are there any pieces of porcelain that can be displayed for sale?"
"It depends on what kind of porcelain fragments, such as the underglaze red porcelain fragments from the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, are displayed in the Jinling Museum as treasures. Add up all the museums in China, and the total number of intact Ming Hongwu underglaze red porcelain collections is one hand They can be counted, so the fragments are also real treasures. As for the fragments on the ground like this, I guess Boss Zhang will have to try his luck."
The two bosses looked at Li Mo unhappy, but he was wearing large stylish sunglasses and a duckbill cap on his face, so he couldn't see his real face clearly.
Li Mo didn't care what they were looking at, he squatted down and picked up a red underglaze moon bottle, which was relatively delicate in terms of the firing process alone, at least no flaws could be seen from the surface.
Looking at the bottom of the bottle, there is a blue and white six-character double-row style: made in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. This underglaze red moon bottle is made by firing the porcelain body in one piece. It does not even have the typical characteristics of Ming Dynasty porcelain. It is not a high-quality imitation, but a beautiful modern handicraft.
"Xiaoyan, does this underglaze red moon bottle look good?"
Li Mo raised the moon bottle in his hand and asked.
Chen Xiaoyan looked at it and nodded: "It's okay, buy it back and put it in the open shelf of the bookcase. With the lighting, it should have a very beautiful decorative effect."
"Boss, how much is this?"
Among them, the male boss who was about 50 years old suddenly changed his face, and said with a smile: "This is Ming Dynasty porcelain, and it is not sold below 88,000."
Li Mo didn't respond to his nonsense bid, but asked humbly, "Boss, how can you tell that this porcelain is from the Ming Dynasty?"
"Look at the inscription on the bottom foot, isn't it clearly written the Jiajing year of the Ming Dynasty?"
"That's it, if it's written about primitive man, isn't it tens of thousands of years old?"
Chen Xiaoyan looked like she had gained something.
The two bosses were suddenly speechless.
"Boss, let's ask a real price, eighty-eight thousand. All the porcelain in your booth is not worth that much. So, how about I pick a few pieces from your booth for five hundred yuan?"
"Young man, you can't just say that every piece of porcelain on my stall is a high-quality goods, why is it not worth so much money. Let me tell you this, none of the porcelain sold from my hands is Less than eight thousand and eight."
"Five hundred pieces, just do it."
The boss is still struggling: "Young man, you didn't bargain like this. Among the customers who have made transactions with me, there is no bid lower than 880."
"Just five hundred pieces." Li Mo was very firm.
"Young man, without you doing business, no matter what, our business also wants to seek auspiciousness, how about six hundred and sixty ones?"
"Boring."
Li Mo shook his head and got up to leave.
"Young man, five hundred is five hundred, deal."
