Chapter 1 Tomb robbers from the countryside ()

"It's over!"

Zhang Can cursed in despair, and his heart sank to the eighteenth floor underground!

Since entering the Taoist temple three years ago, Zhang Can has been careful and careful, making small money every time. He has learned experience with the old birds in the antique street and the frivolous goods market. He has worked hard to save 200,000 yuan in hard work over the past three years, but it has disappeared in this moment!

The matter has to start three days ago. Zhang Can chatted and drank tea with his old friend Su Senlin. Su Senlin was the palm of Lao Shizhai. He was in his early fifties and was also a figure in the Jincheng antiques franchise. He was very experienced. Zhang Can and Lao Su are fellow villagers. After picking up bargains, they basically gave them to Lao Su. In fact, they can't be considered real bargains. One piece can only earn three or two thousand, or more. Sometimes they will lose a little, but Lao Su will also help Zhang Can minimize the price difference.

After a few years, Zhang Can and Lao Su have a relatively strong relationship. With Lao Su's guidance, Zhang Can's skills are getting better and better. In the antique industry, of course, no one dares to say that he will never be able to beat the eye, but Zhang Can rarely misses the small pieces of the small ones.

Just doing something, I naturally want to make a name for myself. Zhang Can is no exception. He always dreams of picking up a big gap and making a fortune one day, then buying a house in Jincheng, marrying a wife, having children and living a life. Everyone is arranged like this.

But this dream was basically shattered!

Three days ago, Zhang Can came home from Lao Su's Lao Shizhai to chat. When he left the store and walked to the entrance of the alley, a very rustic country man asked him timidly: "Boss... do you want... do you want something newly unearthed?"

Zhang Can was stunned. He naturally understood the meaning of the newly unearthed one. In their business, it refers to the objects that just came out of the tomb. However, 95% of these objects were made by fakes, at most one% of the objects were real, and 4% were old items in circulation, but most of them had the actual value of them, and there was not much room for appreciation if they changed hands.

So in this industry, eyesight is the most important thing, and in addition to eyesight, it is also eyesight.

The country is cracking down on theft and selling of antiques in cultural relics, but in the specific industry of cultural relics and antiques, it does not restrict the counterfeiting of counterfeits. In other words, whether it is true or false, it depends on your eyesight. Since ancient times, the goods have been paid off, and you are not responsible for leaving the counter. If you buy fake goods, no matter how much you lose or how bad it falls, you can only knock down your teeth and blood to swallow them. If you suffer, you can only swallow them in your stomach. If the law does not restrict the behavior, it is useless to sue you, and if you make a fuss, you will be ridiculed!

This line can be completely summarized in four words:

Punch your eyes and pick up your bargains!

If you lose your mind, you will lose your money. If you lose your money, you will lose your money. Maybe you will be a rich man one night before, but you will be a unique loser after one night!

Picking up bargains is to make money, making dozens, hundreds or thousands of dollars is called small profits. The real bargains is something that people in this industry look forward to. At a very small price, they are exchanged for hundreds or thousands of times, or even immeasurable treasures. That is to pick up big liabilities. Of course, picking up bargains is just like buying lottery tickets, which is hard to come by. In the Jincheng Antique Market, countless people like Zhang Can are circling, old birds, new birds, rookies, and traps everywhere, and if one is not good, it will be crushed to pieces.

Of course, there are naturally opportunities in this, but opportunities are just opportunities. They can’t be achieved by thinking. People with poor eyesight will not be able to seize them even if they encounter opportunities.

Although Zhang Can looks young, he has good experience and eyesight. Even Lao Su praised him for his strong understanding.

The country man in front of him was in his thirties and could not show off the traces of vicissitudes on his face, especially his complexion and hands. His skin was a little pale and even pale. That was the reason why he stayed in a specific place for a long time. The hands had obvious dry calluses on the tips of his fingers and the tiger's mouth. This dry calluse is different from the dry calluses for farming work. The dry calluses for the whole palm are even. The dry calluses on the hands of this country man are very special.

When Zhang Can noticed these things, his heart was shocked: This person was a tomb robber!

After being stunned for a moment, Zhang Can asked hesitantly again: "What... do you... have?"

The country man looked around and said softly: "Boss, it's not convenient to talk about here, why don't you go to the alley with me?"

Zhang Can hesitated again. This method is no different from those liars. It is not uncommon to knock you out and rob money and run away.

"Boss, why not do you think this is good?" The country man saw that Zhang Can was hesitant and obviously distrust him. He immediately said, "You find a place, I have a companion. I asked him to take things and go with you. Is it good to check it out at your place?"

Zhang Can felt the truth from his words, thought for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Forget it, please, I'll go to the alley with you to take a look!"

Anyway, he has nothing valuable, and his cash is only three or four hundred yuan. Even if he robs it, it will only be such a big deal. Besides, those who engage in these robberies dare not and will not really kill people. That is the crime of beheading and it is not worth it.

In the alley more than one meter wide, the countryman's accomplice was a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old. He carried a woven bag for fertilizer. Zhang Can felt even more relieved when he saw it.

The countryman took the woven bag from the boy and then told him: "Go outside the alley and guard!"

After the boy walked out of the alley, the country man handed the woven bag to Zhang Can.

It weighed about two or three pounds. Zhang Can took a deep breath and slowly opened the bag. There were some soft things such as foam cloth strips and other soft things in the bag to avoid breaking them. Then he opened the foam cloth strips. Zhang Can trembled when he saw it!

This is a red outer glaze-shaped bottle with a thin mouth pattern, with a slanted mouth, a thin neck, a drooping belly, a circle foot, a thin neck, a slightly converging center, and the neck gradually widens downward to a round and drooping belly. The curve changes round and slow, and the two sides look symmetrical S-shaped. The overall height is only more than 30 centimeters, like the shape of a heart.

"Yuhuchun!"

Zhang Can just didn't say it, but was extremely shocked. If this was a real one, you can know its approximate price after understanding the age and texture. However, one thing is certain that the bottle is round and delicate in color and gentle in feel. If it is proven to be genuine, then its value will be at least one million!

One million, Zhang Can was so nervous that he even sweated. Did he encounter something he dreamed of?

However, Zhang Can suppressed his excitement, pretended to be very calm on the surface, closed the mouth of the bag, and then asked the countryman: "This bottle is too fresh in color, and it doesn't look like something of a vintage. How much do you want?"

"Is there something like a vintage?" The countryman was stunned, then hugged the bag in his arms, shook his head and said, "Since the boss said that, I don't need to say the price. When this thing was unearthed, it was a pair, and the other one was taken to the south to find a buyer. My third uncle said that one of the buyers paid 300,000 yuan. My third uncle didn't want to sell it, but the news in the south was tight and he was a little worried, so he gritted his teeth and sold it. The people came back, so we didn't go to the south. The boss said that this thing was not vintage, so I'll look for someone else!"

"Wait a moment……"

Zhang Can couldn't help but scream, thought for a while and asked again: "How much do you want?"

The country man smiled silly and said, "It can't be less than my third uncle!"

That's 300,000 yuan. Zhang Can frowned and wanted to pick up a vacant price at a low price. He probably won't be able to do it, but his heart was beating again. He had been in the antique market for more than three years. This was the first time he had seen something beyond his imagination. The items he had seen and played with before were usually hundreds or thousands, and the highest was only more than twenty thousand yuan at a time. He had never encountered it before. Of course, it was the first time he had encountered such jade Huchun!

Zhang Can thought about it, and then discussed with the countryman: "Brother, let's do this, the price is so high. I'll take a photo first and ask my friends if it's OK?" Then he added a few more words: "Of course, if you really have a negotiation, you'd better find a friend to identify it. It doesn't matter if you have a small item, so everyone is cautious about this expensive item? If you believe that your thing is real, then you don't have to worry!"

The countryman nodded and said, "Of course, whether a business is a trivial matter, whether a business is not successful or not is righteous. I made my things out of the field by myself. Of course, I feel relieved. Take a photo, take a photo!"

Zhang Can immediately took out his phone and carefully took out the bottle. Then he took several photos up and down and left and right, and then passed the photos to Lao Su.

In just one minute, Lao Su called, Zhang Can turned his back and covered his cell phone and tried not to let the countryman hear it.

"Xiao Zhang, where did you take that photo? Have you seen that thing with your own eyes?"

"Yes, I saw it, Lao Su, just say, how much is this thing worth?" Zhang Can pressed his voice very low.

"Xiao Zhang, this is hard to say. This item may be a jade pot spring bottle from the Yuan and Ming dynasties. I can't be sure if I didn't see the real item. However, the color on the photo is still very good. The highest price of similar porcelain pieces on the market is the underglaze red-branched peony-patterned jade pot spring bottle from the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. In 1997, it was sold at Christie's Hong Kong for HK$22.02 million!"

Zhang Can's mind was shocked!

Lao Su's words made his mind confused in an instant, 22 million yuan! How many times is that of 300,000 yuan? It's not that much, I only have half of it. Even if I lose 300,000 yuan, he can still make 9.7 million yuan!

What is the concept of 9.7 million?
