Chapter 20 Antique Exchange Meeting (Part 2)

"Oh, I'm sorry, Professor Wang has been waiting for a long time. I'm guilty! Speaking of which, we are from small places, but we don't know enough about the prosperity of the capital. I didn't expect that it would be only a few stops, but it took so long." Qiao Mu was in a good mood and said beautifully, but only he knew what it felt in Professor Wang's ears.

Li Nan was even more excited: "Thanks to Professor Wang's route in advance, otherwise I would have to say whether I could find a place today. Wow, the capital is different, it's so beautiful. We took a lot of photos. After we arrived at the place, we had to get rid of Professor Wang's borrowing a computer and sending the photos in the memory card, otherwise we would not be able to take photos in the afternoon."

It was obviously a word of gratitude, but it sounded like a needle in Wang Heling's ears. His old face was unpredictable, making people exclaim that it was magical.

Wang Heling felt that his face in this life was not as great as he was today! He used to talk about bus routes to attack a country bumpkin, but who knew that he would be fooled in the end. Those two bastards actually took the bus! He waited at the entrance of the park all morning! The draft had already been written long ago, but after waiting for several hours in a row, it had long disappeared. He suddenly found that the two men did not take the exchange meeting at all when they entered Beijing, and they were simply a scenic spot to enjoy it! In this case, if they were too hasty, they would make these two unhappy and let go of their hands, wouldn’t they waste their efforts on the show? In this way, in which lifetime would they have the chance to find the place when they were humiliated last time?

The hypocritical person ended up like this. He obviously hated Master Qiao Mu's disciples and wanted the two of them to be unlucky and smashed their feet on the heels, becoming a laughing stock in the world. But in order to take revenge, he still sent an invitation letter to others, and thus tied up himself. After all, he was the guest you invited. If you ignore the etiquette of greeting, you will lose for a while on the scene. Not to mention taking revenge, it would be nice not to be rolled and despised by others!

Holding the thousands of alpaca beasts in his heart rushing past, Wang Heling transformed into a polite and gentle elder, leading the country boys into the city and the two of them, who were striking around like a polite man and a man who was walking through a pile of distinctly layered stalls, walked towards the lobby of the management office in the center of the park, and explained the situation as they walked, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

"It is said that buying gold in troubled times, and hiding antiques safely. Now in the prosperous times, the antique style naturally rises. In recent years, there has been a trend of becoming the leader in the economic field! The antique exchange meetings that used to be small-scale are becoming more and more prosperous, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger. This time, there are obvious levels! Although there are many stalls like them, you also understand that under high-tech means, the counterfeiting ability is changing with each passing day. Often, it is lucky to find a real item in ten items. However, the antique industry is no better than others. If you buy fakes, you cannot refund them. It will also make people have a bad taste in the joke. This kind of gold hunting in the sand is originally an elegant thing in the antique industry, but the market after being mixed with a large number of fish, accompanied by interest, will also breed many unpleasant conflicts."

"In view of this, some people have suggested in the past few years that in order to facilitate those powerful enthusiasts not to be harassed by this hodgepodge, a small but slightly higher-grade high-quality exchange meeting was organized. It has been a while since the planning period. It was not until this year that it was the first time that an independent area was designated in the entire exchange meeting, specifically used to exhibit and exchange some high-end products. To put it bluntly, it is actually just to change the gimmick to make the collection more famous and enhance the value."

Wang Heling's introduction is comprehensive and his language is humorous and humorous. There is no trace of conflict with Mr. Qiao Mu. If it weren't for the person who knows the truth, no one would believe that this is a combination that is trying to get back the scene and is thinking about calculating each other.

"The entire exchange meeting will last for the entire National Day holiday, but the high-quality exchange meeting will only last three days from tomorrow to the fifth. Today we will be familiar with the environment and it will officially start tomorrow. During this period, every two hours, a small-scale auction will be organized so that collectors who like to communicate will exchange their own treasures. In fact, this form is also a means to increase the value of the collection. Think about it, a bottle originally had a market value of about 100,000, but when they were at the auction, everyone competed, and the final transaction price might soar to 150,000 or even 200,000! In this way, news will be heard that a bottle was sold for 200,000 on a certain year and month day. Haha, once the handover is changed, the value will double."

Qiao Mu nodded: "Yes, many collections appreciate several times or even dozens of times in just a few years, but they are actually only frying with various means. In terms of real value... Haha, laugh at each other, when it comes to laughing, when it comes to this, it is a nerd spirit! Xiaonan, you have to remember that identifying collections requires a fair and just heart, but when it comes to collections and value-added, you have to learn more from Professor Wang and other seniors. I must not be like this as a pedantic spirit. Otherwise, in the end, not only will I betray my head and blood, but I will often be disobedient and excluded from the mainstream circle. In this situation, whether it is academic research or personal survival, a trendy word for you young people will be put on. This kind of life is a coffee table, full of cups!"

Wang Heling and Li Nan laughed out loud at the same time, but their own thoughts were different. Wang Heling felt that his own mistakes seemed to be a bit miscalculated. Qiao Mu, the dull old guy, was really enlightened! This pair of himself who wanted to plot against him and make him look ugly and revenge him, was not good news. Moreover, judging from his appearance, it seemed that it was really different to this little guy who used money to buy a little face! Could it be that this kid really had any real material? It shouldn't be that according to the news he received, this guy was a nouveau riche and paid a thousand from the Li family.

Wan, who went to Hongshan Pavilion and never met again! How could he be an expert? Could it be that Qiao Mu, the old guy, secretly passed on everyone's tricks? Bah! It's not the ancient times. If there is any movement, how could it be not noticed? Besides, Lao Qiao's personality cannot do such a thing... Wait, this time, Lao Qiao has shown a completely different performance from before. What's going on? Professor Wang was confused by his own speculation for a moment. Smart people have this problem and think too much when encountering things.

The three of them entered the lobby of the management office. In the next three days, this place will become a special venue for the exchange meeting for quality collections. Now the busy people are sent by various insurance companies, police, banks, insurance companies and other relevant departments. Under the leadership of Wang Heling, Qiao Mu and Li Nan also received the ticket for the next day. At this time, Wang Heling's obligation as a leader has been completed. Tomorrow, when we see each other again, we will just be collectors and scholars who communicate with each other.

After visiting the venue, it was still early, and Wang Heling did not mean to invite the two to have lunch together. This was a clear hint that although everyone was familiar with each other, their friendship was not yet at that point.

Before breaking up, Wang Heling seemed to ask inadvertently: "There will be many surprising fine products tomorrow's exchange meeting. I wonder if Professor Qiao will bring you any surprises this time?"

Qiao Mu waved his hand: "Where are there any good things to offer? I'm still half a day left. Xiaonan and I will go to the stall outside to see if we can find any good things. Let everyone take a look together tomorrow. Today, thank you Professor Wang, next time I go to Chang'an, I will do my best to be a landlord!"

Not ready? Wang Heling watched the two men leave, and his eyes were even more confused. He was completely dizzy now. This old Qiao has really changed his temperament? Or did he just say the same thing, just to make excuses me? He listened to his meaning and was going to pick up the leak in the afternoon. Humph! Do you really think that you are ignorant? Let's take a look!

Since Qiao Mu had completely mastered the Hongshan Pavilion, his greatest wish in his life has been gone, and his whole mentality has undergone earth-shaking changes. In his own words, he was completely "turned over and singing serfs". When he looked back and realized how small and ridiculous he was. For a little fame and unnecessary dignity, he often did many stupid things inadvertently. In the end, not only could he not get the respect he wanted, but even his pitiful self-esteem was trampled on. Now he is in a relaxed mood and looks at the world completely with a calm mind, which naturally has a unique flavor.

The father and the other guy had a happy time and were not so particular at all. They bought some barbecue at the open-air snack stall on the roadside, and then had a box lunch and even had lunch. Then they started to visit the stalls with all their hearts. Of course, they didn’t really have to pick up a leak to show off tomorrow, but to pick and miss the things they were like to visit the stalls. This feeling is like a woman who went shopping in the mall.

The two of them had no worries and were naturally casually walking around. The park covering thousands of acres was full of small stalls of different sizes. The larger ones had a tent, the smaller ones were a tablecloth, and a stool was set next to it. The goods were also varied and dazzling, covering almost all the known antiquities in the world. Of course, most of them looked fake at first glance. However, these fakes were divided into different levels, and there were often some old-fashioned fine products that could be used to make fakes. If they could be bought as handicrafts, it would be quite cost-effective to use them to decorate and give gifts.

After wandering aimlessly for more than an hour, Qiaomu suddenly stopped and bent down in front of a stall full of porcelain fragments.

A piece of fragments as thin as a cicada's wing was swaying, Qiao Mu's tone was full of memories: "I started learning archaeology from the craft of repairing porcelain... Unfortunately, at this age, I don't have the energy to churn from such a large pile of fragments." He raised the porcelain pieces in his hand and rushed towards the sun, smacking and praising: "Good things, if they can be all-in-one, even the repair products can blind those titanium alloy dog ​​eyes!"

When Li Nan heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and the opportunity has come!
