Jade viewing is also a technical job.
Unlike looking at antiques, you don’t need to have much historical knowledge. The quality of the jade alone can distinguish many levels.
It is relatively simple and the price range can be seen at a glance.
Regardless of the subject matter, these two small jade pendants from the stall owner basically cost between 400 and 800.
Of course, some themes with high artistic content will naturally command a larger premium.
"Thank you."
The uncle was stunned and thought he should be the one to say thank you.
But after saying that, I turned around and left.
"That's right! I'm a dog, and this jade pendant has a dog pattern on it!"
Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Then I'll give you this tiger pattern!"
What she didn't know was that I was born in the year of Tiger. Maybe it was a coincidence.
"Now you should tell me why you are so timid?"
"Even if this thing is really valuable, you shouldn't let others break the rules like this, right?"
After putting away the jade pendant, Chen Cheng asked curiously.
"It's really valuable if it's true."
"I mean if."
I laughed as I said that, "Unfortunately, it's not true."
"ah?"
"Then you were pretending to be so serious just now?"
Chen Cheng was a little confused, "Don't we still need to take a closer look?"
"Yeah, you'll find out it's fake when you look closely."
With that said, I would like to give Chen Cheng some knowledge about the Golden Bodhi.
"Isn't that something similar to what you said?"
"It's different, there's a difference in feel."
I explained, "Because there is dirt, it looks real. This string can be up to three hundred."
"I see……"
"Didn't Amelia Su suffer a loss?"
Chen Cheng realized why I gave the golden bodhi to Su Yu so happily.
"That's right. She made a mistake. It has nothing to do with me."
"Just think of it as a small lesson to her."
I nodded.
"What about this jade pendant? Is it really worth five hundred?"
Chen Cheng is like a curious baby with all kinds of questions.
"At first glance, it's real, but I can only see a price range."
I explained, "This pair of jade pendants costs between 400 and 800."
"Why does it feel like glass to me?"
Chen Cheng took out the jade pendant and looked at it under the sun.
"I'll give you a little tip. As long as jade has the right composition, the more it looks like glass, the more valuable it will be."
I smiled and said, "These two pieces are mainly scraps. Although the quality of the jade is good, the price of 400 to 800 is worth it."
…
After wandering around the stalls on the street for a while, Chen Cheng's interest turned to those antique stores.
I thought it was time to take a rest, so I went in with her to take a look.
Anyway, whatever she likes, I can accept it for a little money.
After wandering all the way, we came to the last Hongjiang Antique Shop.
"Coming?"
Sister Mei smiled when she saw me.
I nodded slightly and glanced aside.
Everything on the shelves was what I saw yesterday.
"You were absolutely right about what you said yesterday."
Sister Mei smiled and patted me on the shoulder, "Are you free today? The boss wants to meet you. Maybe we can even be colleagues!"
"Forget it about colleagues."
I said and smiled, "I'm used to being dissolute. I'm free today. Is it possible that the boss is giving me favors? I'd rather obey him if I respect him."
"Who is this……"
Sister Mei nodded and looked at Chen Cheng beside me.
"She...she is my girlfriend."
I thought about my answer.
There’s nothing wrong with female friends, simply called girlfriends.
As soon as I said that, Chen Cheng's arms hugged me tighter.
I turned around and saw that she had her head lowered and her cheeks were a little red.
Not long after, Sister Mei took me to the yard behind the entrance of the hall again.
Two middle-aged men were drinking tea at the stone table in the courtyard, talking and laughing, and having a great time.
One of them is Li Mingming.
"Let me introduce, this is Shen Fan, the little brother who saw the three-color golden rooster."
When Li Mingming saw me, he immediately stood up and greeted me.
"Not bad, young and promising."
The other middle-aged man nodded slightly.
"Shen Fan, this is Boss Zhou, the owner of Hongjiang Antiques."
Li Mingming said and introduced me.
"Hello, Boss Zhou, I don't know what's going on..."
I handed it over, looking a little reserved.
"So you are Shen Fan, Brother Shen, relax!"
Boss Zhou suddenly laughed when he heard my name, "You have helped my dad with a lot of things."
It turns out that the father of boss Zhou Qian is none other than Zhou Jianguo!
Of course, this Hongjiang antique shop is also under the seventh uncle's door.
As for why Li Mingxuan is here...it was an own incident.
The three-color golden rooster I handed over to Li Baiming came from Hongjiang Antique Shop.
Unexpectedly, Li Mingming changed hands to Hongjiang Antique Shop.
After all, the antique shop can do both selling and receiving goods.
Sometimes, when antique shops receive good goods, they will sell them to each other.
Not to mention Li Mingming's desire to "honor his seventh uncle".
"It's because my subordinates are blind and blind, and they actually treat these three-color golden roosters as street stall goods."
Zhou Qian nodded slightly as he spoke, "Brother Shen, I wonder if you are interested in working in our Hongjiang Antique Shop? Boss Li's place is full, but I am short of space."
"Thank you, Boss Zhou, for your kindness. I'm more comfortable living a comfortable life."
I smiled and refused.
Which antique store you work in, apart from a temporary job, represents which hall you have entered and which family you have worked for.
"I heard from my dad that you have a disciple, right..."
Zhou Qian seemed to suddenly remember, and frowned slightly in thought, "How about this, Brother Shen, if there is an opportunity to see the goods in the future, I will pay you to help me, how about it?"
"When friends are looking at goods, don't talk about money. I'm just here to help."
I smiled and said, "But if I have to work, maybe not."
"Okay, it's settled!"
Zhou Qian nodded readily, "By the way, my dad is going to attend an auction in two days. He thinks the experts around him are unreliable and wants to find someone powerful. Brother Shen, I wonder if he can help with this?"
"Your father has already contacted me and I have agreed."
I nodded.
"However, there are still some problems with this auction."
Zhou Qian frowned slightly, "Brother Shen, you have to be careful too."
"What is the problem?"
I looked curious.
"That was run by Mr. Tao..."
"I wonder who this Mr. Tao is?"
While saying that, Chen Cheng and I sat down and chatted together.
After Sister Mei came for tea, she went back to the Taoist hall to get busy.
During the chat, I roughly figured it out.
Mr. Tao's name is Tao Ronghua. He is a wealthy businessman in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but he was engaged in smuggling business before starting his business.
Of course, antiques and smuggling have never been divorced.
"Although it is said outside that Mr. Tao has washed his hands of trouble, there are always some rumors."
Zhou Qian said, "This time, Mr. Tao generously took out his collection for a charity auction just to show that he was upright."
"So that's the case, what's the danger?"
I wondered.
"I don't know if it's true. I heard that Mr. Tao has two good counterfeiters. Many fake antiques have been passed through their hands and they look like real ones. I'm just afraid of spending money and buying a fake one."
Zhou Qian sighed as he spoke, "You may not know that my dad will get angry if he spends money and the thing he buys is not worth the price. This is also the reason why he is sometimes in poor health."
