Chapter 1669: Unscrupulous businessman
As the largest second-hand goods trading market in the country, the number of vendors here is comparable to the total number of shops in other cities.
As long as you have a vision, it should be no problem to make some money from it.
Of course, the premise of being discerning is simple to say, but there are only a few people who can actually do it, otherwise Lin Ran would not become a legend.
Fortunately, televisions were not yet popular in this era, and there were not many people in the circle. When walking in the market, everyone was busy doing their own thing, and no one noticed Lin Ran.
The premise is that he is only responsible for shopping. If he walks to the stall, most of the stall owners here should not have a problem recognizing him.
They were all eager for Lin Ran to visit their stall, because his appearance basically meant that the best products appeared in their stall.
Lin Ran walked in the market and sighed softly: "I didn't expect that Panjiayuan would grow to its current scale after only a few months of absence."
He originally thought it would take at least another ten years to develop and grow, but now he realizes that he underestimated the speed of development in the 80s.
Today, Panjiayuan has grown to a large scale.
It would be very difficult to find two girls who are not special from such a huge market.
"It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that it's too difficult." After shopping around, Lin Ran planned to return to the store.
Anyway, they only met each other once, so you can't blame yourself if you can't help.
While shopping, of course he didn't forget to look at the goods on the street stalls.
Based on his mastery of the secret skills of treasure appraisal, he roughly judged that there were basically no antiques before the Qing Dynasty here. They were all works from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. They were not worth a lot of money and could not catch Lin Ran's eyes.
In the past, he might stop and take a closer look, but now he doesn't have to finish all the business.
These antiques from the Qing Dynasty are left to be discovered by those who need funds.
He didn't stay at the market for long before he was ready to leave.
I originally planned to help, but if I can't find anyone, forget it. There are still many important things to do.
Having made up his mind, he was ready to leave.
However, a strange feeling arose in my heart.
Looking towards the antique shop area.
Lu Xinyu said before that there are no good people running the store.
And he had been searching in the street stall area, but it was obvious that he had found the wrong person.
Those who can own a store in Panjiayuan are all prominent local figures, including Zheng Xueming. Needless to say, his family background and background go without saying.
Other shop owners are not willing to give in too much.
However, it is not true that rich people have conscience. In fact, there are still a small number of bosses like Zheng Xueming.
"Let's go take a look." Lin Ran made up his mind and walked towards the store area.
As for the street stall area, it is actually not easy to miss out now.
Since the prosperity of craftsmen in the prosperous times, people have begun to realize the value of antiques.
Especially in the current social climate, it is popular to start a business overseas.
The crime of speculation has just been abolished. Now, as long as there is money to be made, there will be many people who want a piece of it.
Panjiayuan and Liulicang are the most famous leak-picking areas.
Unfortunately, after all, there is more monks than enough food.
If you want to pick up leaks in the street stall area, you not only need your eyesight, but also need treasure luck. You don't have the ability to pick up leaks in this kind of place. It is absolutely impossible without some luck.
Passed by some small vendors.
The closer to the shop area, the more cultured the vendors appear.
The further outside, the lower the quality of the vendors, just like selling cabbage, shouting loudly.
Instead, it retains some of the flavor of a ghost market, and everyone communicates in low voices.
Outsiders also call this place an antique street. When they come here, they buy a lot of goods from the street stalls, some for investment, and some just for fun.
Looking at these small vendors now, most of them are unscrupulous antique dealers.
The things sold on the street stalls are basically fakes and imitations, which are basically worthless and are suitable for laymen.
Passing by the stalls, we came to the real antique street.
Compared to the mess outside, the atmosphere here is much better.
The store staff also come out to clean up the garbage on the ground. At the same time, the environment is quiet. There is a tree planted in front of almost every store, and the family's yellow dog is tied next to the door.
Lin Ran wasn't here to pick up any leaks today, so he just looked around.
Because the shops here cost money to rent, shop owners are generally quite exclusive.
They have spent money and naturally will not allow vendors to enter this area to carry out sales work.
Moreover, these shops seem to have been renovated this year, and the words on the signboards have been turned into golden plaques.
Most of them are century-old stores that have experienced great storms and survived, which shows the background behind the boss.
Lin Ran could have owned a shop in a place like this, but the demand for antiques was too intense, and it would never be worthwhile to sell his collection in an antique shop. Each piece was a top-notch item at the auction. There will be a lot of buzz about it when you go there, so there is no need to look for antique shops to sell it.
Walking on the quiet and quiet streets, compared with the noise in the distance, it has a different flavor.
However, he did not forget his purpose and looked inside every store he passed.
There were many tourists in most of the shops. I thought I would return in vain, but I didn't expect to hear a familiar voice at the corner of the street. ,
With such a fierce voice, who else could it be if it wasn't Lu Xinyu?
This sound is particularly conspicuous in Antique Street.
"You have gone too far, and you actually deceived us girls!"
"Girl, what you said is too much. We are a century-old store. Do you see the gold-lettered signboard in front of the store?"
Lin Ran looked at the door of the store for a while, and then forgot the name of the store.
There are three words written on it: "Jubao Pavilion".
"Interesting." If Lu Xinyu and Lu Siyu weren't inside, he might have noticed this store.
Because compared to other shops that are bustling with people, this shop looks deserted, with almost no customers.
This kind of store is often not open for half a year in a real sense, and only open for half a year.
There are either rare treasures or a lot of fakes inside.
After looking around for a while, he walked into the shop.
In the store, Lu Xinyu was having a heated discussion with the boss.
I saw the boss was fat and had a flattering smile on his face.
Even though he was called a liar, he still had a signature smile on his face.
When you walk into the store, you can smell the strong scent of sandalwood. There is an incense burner on the counter, with smoke rising from it.
"Okay, a customer is here, I won't argue with you." The boss saw Lin Ran walking into the shop, preparing to entertain other customers.
