Chapter 47 Glass Beads in the Antique Market
"I didn't find what you wanted in that small shop, so are you going to prepare it now?" Zhao Yong asked behind Bai Ning.
Bai Ning was a little uncomfortable with Zhao Yong's sudden change in attitude, so he said with a wry smile, "Go to the street stall to search for treasures."
"Taobao on the street stall?" Zhao Yong hesitated for a while, "This is your first time visiting the antique market here."
"It's indeed the first time I've come here." Bai Ning told the truth, before he acquired the mastery of appreciating treasures, Bai Ning passed by this place many times, but he didn't go deep into it, so it was his first time.
"No wonder." Zhao Yong said with relief.
"What's wrong?" Bai Ning was puzzled.
"In this antique market, the most unreliable are the street stalls. These street stalls are too liquid, and there is no credit endorsement at all."
"If you encounter fraud in these shops, you can still come back to find them, but these street stalls, they are here today, and they don't know where they will go tomorrow. They can't be found, and they are not reliable at all. "Zhao Yong explained.
He still recommends Bai Ning to go to the store to look for it, and does not recommend Bai Ning to go to the street stall.
"I see that there are quite a few people shopping at the street stalls here." Bai Ning didn't take it seriously, and still walked towards the street stall area.
"It's true that there are quite a few, but most of these people are lucky. We mainly rely on our eyesight to play this thing, and luck will ruin our fortune." Zhao Yong persuaded with some worry.
When Bai Ning heard this, he looked back at Zhao Yong, but he never thought that Zhao Yong would say such a thing.
Zhao Yong now and Zhao Yong in the office are completely two faces.
"How do you know that I can't pick out a treasure among the stalls by my eyesight?" Bai Ning asked back.
Zhao Yong didn't know how to answer this rhetorical question.
Indeed, so far Zhao Yong still doesn't know what kind of state Bai Ning's eyesight has reached. He only knows that Bai Ning's eyesight is much stronger than his.
"Let's go, you were fooled just now, now I want you to get your money back." Bai Ning patted Zhao Yong's shoulder.
Bai Ning is not a difficult person to get along with, and now that Zhao Yong is worried about him, he doesn't mind helping Zhao Yong.
The two walked into the stall area.
Compared with the shops, the stall area is much more lively.
Not only antique players, even some citizens who don't play antiques like to come here for a stroll.
The prices in the stall area are usually extraordinarily magical.
A crystal can be priced at one hundred thousand.
Of course, bargaining is also very magical. Some customers can directly cut down to [-] for something worth [-] yuan.
People who know how to do it are like a duck to water here, and those who don't know how to do it are living leeks, waiting to be cut.
Bai Ning walked slowly in the stall area, his eyes swept over one after another, without stopping for a long time.
He hasn't seen anything more suitable so far.
Bai Ning wanted to choose a treasure and give it to Ye Chuxia's grandfather as a gift.
Ye Chuxia's grandfather is the person in charge of the Ye family now, and the Ye family has a big business, so naturally there is no shortage of gadgets.
What Bai Ning wanted was precious and rare things.
Zhao Yong followed Bai Ning all the time, and his eyes also stayed on the stalls. Several times he fell in love with something good and wanted to ask the price, but he didn't stop when he saw Bai Ning, so he could only say give up.
Finally, Bai Ning stopped in front of an old man's stall.
The old man has thinning and loose silver hair. He is wearing a white vest and flip flops, and sits on a small bench with his legs crossed.
The other stalls were bustling with people constantly asking the price, but the old man's stall was extremely deserted.
It is rare for a customer to come forward to ask the price, and he will quickly turn around and leave.
Just because the old man is not selling antiques, but glass beads.
One glass bead for 1 yuan, buy ten glass beads, and choose one treasure at will.
This is a passage written by the old man on a piece of cardboard.
Normal people will basically turn their heads away when they see this passage.
These glass beads cost dozens of yuan, and the old man sells them for 1 yuan each, obviously treating everyone as fools.
"What's this called? Jiang Taigong's fishing volunteers take the bait." Zhao Yong followed Bai Ning's line of sight and looked at the old man's stall. After seeing the cardboard on the old man's stall, he laughed jokingly.
Even he who has visited this antique market many times has never seen such a strange stall.
"A stall in this antique market costs 500 yuan a night. I don't think this old man will be able to earn back the 500 yuan even if he puts it up for a night." Zhao Yong smiled and shook his head, and said to Bai Ning.
But what Bai Ning said made him stunned for a moment.
"Go up and buy ten glass beads." Bai Ning whispered to Zhao Yong.
Zhao Yong's eyes widened, he looked at Bai Ning, confused.
"Why, why?"
Zhao Yong couldn't understand what Bai Ning was thinking now.
"If you believe me, you will go up and buy ten glass beads, and you will be guaranteed your money back after you buy it." Bai Ning didn't explain too much, with a playful smile on his face.
He was indeed attracted by the old man's novel way of setting up a stall at the beginning.But his gaze finally hit a jade pendant on the old man's stall.
This quick jade pendant has a lot of background, it should be a funeral object of a certain dignitary in the Tang Dynasty.Whether it is color or outline, it belongs to the upper class.
Although the origin and identity are unknown, it is definitely a good thing.
Moreover, other than that, the other antiques on the stall are not bad either.
Basically, there is no value below [-].
The old man said that buying ten glass beads and being able to choose an antique at will seemed absurd, and it was a pitfall, but it was an opportunity.
"Do you really want to buy it?" Zhao Yong asked hesitantly after listening to Bai Ning's words.
It's not that he doesn't believe in Bai Ning, Bai Ning has already shown his strength in the shop before.
He just thought it was a bit weird, and if he bought ten glass beads for a hundred thousand, wouldn't that be a disguised admission that he was a fool?
"Just go if you believe me, forget it if you don't believe me." Bai Ning spread his hands.
He really wanted to help Zhao Yong recover the loss just now, but he didn't care if Zhao Yong didn't cooperate.
After Zhao Yong heard this, a tangled look appeared on his face.
But after pondering for half a minute, he shook his teeth and made up his mind to trust Bai Ning.
"Okay, I believe you."
"Okay, after you buy ten glass beads, just ask that old man to give you that jade pendant." Bai Ning nodded and confessed.
Zhao Yong walked quickly to the old man's booth, took a deep breath, and said very frankly:
"Old man, bring me ten glass beads."
As soon as these words came out, the half-closed old man finally opened his eyes.
Without exception, everyone around turned their attention to Zhao Yong.
