There are several words written on the base of the Buddha statue.
It was given in the Yongle year of the Ming Dynasty.
"Boss, I would like to take this Green Tara statue home. How many squares will it cost?"
Fang means ten thousand, a slang term in the antique industry.
Lin Feng had already asked about the price. The dozing boss suddenly turned into an energetic young man. He stood up with a professional smile on his face and walked to Lin Feng and said.
"Sir, I fell in love with our store's treasure at one glance. You have a very sharp eye! The Green Tara statue from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty is very expensive. Sir, you can tell that you are an expert in collecting. You You should know that recently, at the Yaji auction here in Beicheng, a similar Green Tara statue, also from the Yongle period, sold for a high price of more than 1,400 square meters."
"Of course, that's the price at the auction, so there's naturally a bit of a premium. So, sir, I don't want you to make any false claims, so let's just give it a fixed price of 600 square meters. Do you think my price is sincere? "
"10 square meters, can you sell it?"
Lin Feng bargained directly, cutting down to the soles of his feet.
When the man heard the price, he was shocked.
He took the Buddha statue from Lin Feng's hand and said angrily.
"Sir, please excuse me. I thought you were a knowledgeable gentleman. I didn't expect that you were haggling all over the place. You might as well kill me with a knife... Just this Buddha statue, if it is placed on the auction site, it will cost at least hundreds of square meters." The starting price is 600 square meters, which is the market exchange price. There is still a lot of room for a premium above that. If you sincerely want it, sir, I will give you a lower price, 500 square meters. It can’t be any less!”
"9 squares."
"If it doesn't work, forget it."
After Lin Feng finished speaking, the owner of the shop was almost furious, but Lin Feng turned around and left.
The man followed without hesitation.
"Sir, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry. We have high-quality tea here. I know, you are kidding me. There are many good things in the store. How about we go inside and talk in detail?"
Lin Feng stopped and said.
"9fang, if we don't sell it, there's nothing to talk about."
The shop owner sighed and said.
"This...is this too little? The Buddha statues of Ming Yongle are not in this market! Forget it, 9 squares is just 9 squares. I haven't opened the business today, so I should take care of the rent..."
"QR code."
The store owner immediately took out the QR code, and Lin Feng scanned the code to transfer 90,000 yuan.
He took the Buddha statue in his hand and then threw it to the ground.
There was a crash.
The Buddha statue was broken.
A stone block was stuffed inside and rolled to the side.
Lin Feng's technique was so fast that the shop owner didn't even react, and the Buddha statue was smashed to pieces. How could a bronze statue break into pieces all of a sudden? The fact that it can break like this means that this Buddha statue is not even an old object from the Yongle period. It is not even made of copper. It is just a porcelain and gilded Buddha statue, to increase its weight. , making this Buddha statue more like a bronze statue with a stone inside.
Something that couldn't be more fake, Lin Feng could tell at a glance just now.
The shop owner wanted to say something, but the items were broken. Naturally, he couldn't refute, because the authenticity of the items could be seen at a glance.
Even if it is 90,000, the store owner will make money in vain.
Lin Feng looked at the shop owner.
He said it directly.
"When buying and selling antiques, you can only blame yourself if you make a mistake and leave, right?"
The boss was stunned for a moment, because Lin Feng had to say everything he wanted to say.
The boss knew that he was in trouble.
After the item is taken away, it is easy to deal with it being discovered to be a fake, but this is in a store. Once people know that his store sells such fake goods, it will be a big problem.
The boss said immediately.
"Sir, how about I refund your money? I didn't expect that I got punched in the eye."
"I paid 50,000 yuan for this Buddha statue.
I consider myself unlucky! "
Lin Feng pointed to a place in the corner in front.
"Fifty thousand yuan, identical Green Tara statues, and you bought three of them?"
The boss turned around and took a glance. The Buddha statue over there was hidden and only a few corners were exposed, but Lin Feng actually saw it. He himself naturally knew that the Buddha statues over there, like this one, were wholesaled by him.
Counting each statue, it does not exceed two hundred yuan.
"For such a low-quality imitation, the cost of the three statues combined is no more than 500 yuan, right?"
Lin Feng's words left the boss speechless.
He looked at Lin Feng and said.
"Sir, please show me the QR code and I will refund the money to you!"
Lin Feng said.
"No."
"For 90,000 yuan, just ask for directions."
"You know how to get to Yaoyue Tower, right?"
The shop owner was shocked at this moment. He was only focusing on doing business just now and simply forgot about the three words "Yao Yue Lou" that Lin Feng asked about when he came in. Others didn't know "Yao Yue Lou", but he knew it.
Since he was the one who went to invite Yuelou, how could he be the kind of layman who was easily deceived?
At this moment, the boss regretted it very much.
The boss said immediately.
"Sir, I'm really sorry just now. I have indeed heard of Yaoyue Tower. But I don't know exactly where Yaoyue Tower is and how to get there, but I know a rule. If you want to enter Yaoyue Tower, , there must be a stepping stone.”
This boss did know a lot. Lin Feng's 90,000 yuan was not wasted.
Lin Feng asked.
"What kind of stepping stone?"
The boss replied.
"The stepping stone is an antique. The antique in your hand must be able to knock on the door of Yaoyue Tower."
"Moreover, this antique must be an antique you bought at the Panjiayuan Ghost Market. After dark, the night lights of Panjiayuan will be on, and the ghost market will begin. If you can buy it from the ghost market, If you buy an antique that is enough to light up a sky lantern, you can knock on the door of Zhaoyue Tower, and someone will naturally take you into Zhaoyue Tower."
"You can't order it. No one knows where Yaoyue Tower is."
After saying these words, the boss emphasized in a low voice.
"Sir, I told you this in private. Don't say you knew it from me when you go outside. The purpose of not letting others talk about this rule at Yao Yue Lou is to prevent others from attacking them at Yao Yue Lou. And go, let me tell you this, to a certain extent, it is breaking the rules."
Lin Feng nodded.
"Do not worry."
No wonder Lin Feng asked outside. The other bosses said they didn't know about this. I'm afraid they wouldn't tell Lin Feng even if they knew. .
The reason why the boss told Lin Feng this was naturally because he had offended Lin Feng and telling Lin Feng what he wanted to know could atone for his sins.
Otherwise, he, the owner of a small shop, cannot afford to offend such a big shot.
Antique picking, ghost market, street sweeping.
These are things that Mo Ziyan often led Lin Feng to do in the past.
so.
This kind of environment is all too familiar to Lin Feng.
Lighting the sky lantern in the ghost market is to get an unparalleled antique from the ghost market. It only needs to rank first in comprehensive value that night. This requires a certain amount of luck. After dark, the lights in the ghost market come on, and Lin Feng starts sweeping street.
