I still live a comfortable life like this. When I have time, I go out to visit various old antique streets. When I find good ones, I go back to enrich myself in the Guyunxuan Museum. It's just that there are not many good folk things left. If he has time, he still wants to go to Europe and the United States to search for them. Because the cultural differences are very big, many of the lost national treasures in China are likely to be thrown aside as mortal objects by them, causing the pearls to become dusty and disturbing. regret.
Li Mo visited several antique shops, and the items in them were all average. Maybe there were a lot of rich people in the mainland, or they wanted to show off to their relatives and friends when they went back, so even if it was cumbersome to carry the same thing with them, even if it cost more than It is much more expensive in the mainland, but they are willing to pay for it.
"Boss, can you go in and take a look at this jewelry store?"
Viper asked softly.
Li Mo looked up and smiled: "Do you want to buy a gift for your girlfriend?"
Viper was a little embarrassed: "I'm not my girlfriend yet, but I have a crush on her. I think she's also interested in me, so I want to buy a good gift for her. Boss, help me pick one. Budget It’s fine within 10,000. It’s too expensive, and I’m afraid she won’t accept it due to pressure.”
"Okay, let's go in and take a look."
The styles in this jewelry store are all-encompassing, including gold, silver, jewelry and jade, and the styles are even more diverse. Less than half of the styles look like products from Southeast Asian countries. Because of their curiosity, tourists who come in to choose jewelry are very interested in those exotic products.
"What do you want to buy for the woman, a bracelet, a necklace, a pendant or a bracelet?"
"It's okay, I believe in the boss's vision."
"I'm convinced by you too. It's obvious that you're chasing someone to give you a gift, but in the end I have to choose a gift for you. Maybe they're interested in your heart, not the gift."
"Hey, boss, you're tired. I'll treat you to a big dinner tonight."
Li Mo smiled slightly, then looked along the counter. This jewelry store is not large in scale, but it has many varieties. The layout of the counter is carefully designed, and the jewelry is placed inside. With the blessing of some special lights, it feels like the style has been upgraded a lot.
"Lots of beautiful jewelry."
The poisonous snake was dazzled.
"If you praise me like this, you will be taken advantage of. Don't say anything later."
"Okay, I'm just going to watch and tell."
Li Mo looked around as he walked. The workmanship of the things here was still good, but the prices were clearly marked. It was almost impossible to get a bargain on the price. If it is sold as an antique, the boss can ask for a high price, or he can bargain on the spot. Who can take advantage depends on who has a better eye.
"Hello, sir, do you need any help?" A fat middle-aged man came over with a smile. He held a business card in his hands and said, "I am the boss here because the clerk is too busy. If you want You can tell me what jewelry you want to see."
Li Mo took the business card, looked at it and said: "Hello, Boss Chen, my friend and I want to come here to buy some more interesting jewelry. We can buy anything in your counter in the mainland, nothing new. As for the Southeast Asian style ones As for jewelry, we can’t appreciate their beauty, so I wonder if there are anything else in the store that we can look at.”
"There are quite a few in the warehouse. If you two want to take a look, how about I take you to the back?"
"Okay, if you like them, we'll choose a few more."
It turns out that there is an independent small courtyard behind the shop, with bedrooms on the east and warehouses on the west. This layout is similar to that of Gu Yunxuan in the Magic City.
The boss opened the warehouse. The space inside was quite large, with two rows of shelves filled with various jewelry.
"Boss, where do you buy these things from? They are not on the same level as those sold at the counter."
"Haha, sir, you have a good eye. I usually buy these from the flea market. When I have time, I will also set up a stall there and sell them. The route is different. You and your friends choose together and you have chosen How about I give you a package price?"
"Thank you boss, let's take a look first."
The jewelry on the shelves in this warehouse are mainly bracelets and bangles, ranging from ordinary jade to severely oxidized silver. There are also jewelry inlaid with many things that look like various gemstones, but in fact they are all plastic. .
Li Mo reached out and picked up a tag on the shelf. It was a rectangular wood carving with auspicious clouds and phoenixes carved on the surface. If you touch it with your hands, you can feel that the wood carving plaque has a very thick layer of patina. The tag is also bordered with silver that has been oxidized to grayish black. If you look carefully at the light, there are many small dragons carved on the border.
Wood carving cards have a little pressure on the hand, which is a little different from ordinary wood. Li Mo carried the boss on his back and took a closer look at the light. It was crystal clear. At first glance, it had the texture of wood and jade. Good guy, this tag is actually carved from dark wood, and the craftsman also used silver as the edge, which means dragon and phoenix present auspiciousness.
If it is a modern handicraft, then the owner must know its value and will not easily appear on the flea market.
Li Mo glanced at it, and sure enough, a dark gray halo emerged from the wooden carving tablet. This was an ancient relic from the early Qing Dynasty. In that era, dragon and phoenix patterns could only be used by the royal family.
Judging from the small dragons carved on the edge, they are all three-clawed dragons, and the phoenix on the surface of the tag is also crownless, indicating that this item did not come from the palace, but from the palace of a prince, or the palace of a prince or princess.
Li Mo kept it calmly, and then selected four more items on the shelf.
One tag, two bracelets, two bracelets.
"Boss, how much do these five pieces cost in total?"
The fat boss was always smiling like Maitreya Buddha. He stepped forward and took a few glances and said: "Sir, I won't make a blind offer with you. I will just earn some hard money. If there is one piece, it will be 3,000 per piece. If there are five pieces, it will be three thousand." How about if we buy them together, I’ll give you a package price of 10,000 yuan?”
"Boss, you can't lie to us. I've been to the flea market not far away before. The price of each item of this kind is usually between 200 and 500. You gave me a discount, and the average price is still 500. Six times the profit, it’s too easy for you to earn your hard work.”
"Sir, you also need to see how the goods are. I..." The boss didn't feel embarrassed at all after being exposed. Instead, he wanted to continue to lie.
Li Mo interrupted him directly and said: "I won't let your work go in vain. I will give you two thousand and five for these five pieces. If you are willing, we will pay immediately. If you think you can sell more at the flea market in the future, For one or two hundred yuan, we won’t bother you and leave immediately.”
"Okay, sir, he seems to be a cheerful person at first glance. I am also a cheerful person, so I will make the deal according to your wishes. Please come here, we will pay at the front, and I will pack the five items for you."
Viper paid 2,500 yuan, and the boss personally took out five exquisite boxes, put them in one by one, and diligently delivered them to the door of the store.
"Boss, you can buy five pieces for 2,500 yuan, which is really cheap."
"Keep that tag, find a trash can and throw away the other four."
The viper was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed surprise. The boss had found a treasure. The two bracelets and bracelets were both used to cover people's eyes.
"Boss, what's the origin of this tag? Tell me, so I can show it off in front of her when we get back."
"Have you ever heard of golden nanmu?"
"I heard that He Shen, the corrupt official of the Qing Dynasty in the TV series, built a nanmu hall with golden nanmu because of violation of regulations, and his house was confiscated in the end. Boss, you are saying that this hangtag is made of golden nanmu, then It’s really worth spending 2,500 yuan.”
"It is the dark wood formed after the carbonization of golden nanmu. It is known as the oriental sacred wood. The price is several times more expensive than the golden nanmu. Moreover, this dark wood hangtag is carved with dragons and phoenixes showing auspiciousness. In ancient times, it was only used by the royal family. You I want to remind the woman that if this tag is resold, it will easily cost 200,000 yuan, so don’t just throw it around and lose it.”
The viper's eyes suddenly widened, and he said quickly: "I will give her a good warning, thank you boss."
"That bracelet is made of stone. That bracelet is made of chemical plastic. Throw them away. It's harmful to have them on your body."
