"Every morning, you wake up naturally at 7:30, and the wind chimes ring again, and the clouds are very light..."

Is it six or seven?

Qin Yu, who was jogging along the southern moat, hummed this song unconsciously, but how could the word 7:30 suddenly pop up in his mind? He obviously woke up at half past six?

Forget it, no matter it, it doesn’t matter if it is 6:30 and 7:30. This tune is quite lazy. I seem to have become lazy recently, otherwise how could such an insight appear? (Qin Yu regards the songs that appear in his mind from time to time as his own insights.)

There was a period of time when I didn’t practice morning at the South Moat. Qin Yu really met many old neighbors, and these people did not treat him as a star. After meeting, most of them greeted him twice and asked habitually: “Have you eaten, come here.”

As time approaches 8 o'clock, there are more young people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. During this period, "Struggle" is popular, and these young people burst into strange enthusiasm after seeing Qin Yu.

After dealing with a few people, Qin Yu began to transfer the route and returned home from the alley next to Liulijing. He took a shower, changed his clothes, and drove to Liuli Factory.

In Yanjing, there are many places where you can buy antique calligraphy and paintings, such as Yanjing Antique City, Tianya Antique City, Dalishu Ghost Market, Deshengmen Ancient Coin Market, Dashilan, etc. Of course, the most famous ones are Liulichang and Panjiayuan.

The full name of Panjiayuan is "Panjiayuan Fresh Goods Market", which mainly focuses on old items, jewelry, jade, and handicrafts. Although there are regular shops in the market, they are more of stall vendors. Pay the stall fee, find a blanket, put out your own things and sell them. You can ask for a lot of prices, pay back the money on the spot, and pick up the bargain and take the eyes off.

Liulichang is located outside Hepingmen in Xicheng District, near a section of alleys on Nanxinhua Street. Liulichang and Qin Yu live in Liulijing belong to two places. Cheng Nuo missed it last time and then met Qin Yu.

During the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the royal family set up a glass kiln factory here, so it was named "Liulichang". In the Qing Dynasty, there were often juren who went to Beijing to take the exam here. The surrounding shops began to operate four treasures of the study, ancient books, inscriptions, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and later gradually became a famous cultural street in Yanjing.

Although there are some street vendors practicing stalls here, most of the customers visiting Liulichang are coming to the regular antique shops here. The old-fashioned stores such as Rongbaozhai, Yidege, Yunguzhai, Dai Yuexuan and Qingyuntang have at least 70 or 80 years of history. Each store has different font sizes and different items sold.

Qin Yu mainly wanted to buy a pair of antique vases as a birthday gift for Joanna. Because of the first time giving gifts, Qin Yu didn't want to be too casual, and asked himself that he didn't have the ability to tell the truth at a glance, so he did not choose Pan Jiayuan, but came to Liulichang, where he could find acquaintances to help.

Although it was not a weekend, as the famous antique calligraphy and painting cultural street in Yanjing, many tourists from other places had already come to visit. Qin Yu parked the car and saw that the store he was looking for had not opened yet, he wandered around on his own.

The shops here also have a huge price call, because antiques, calligraphy and paintings are not easy to value, and those who look at each other like treasures, and those who look down on them will be regarded as shabby. There is an old saying that "it's hard to buy good things with money." Antique collectors are not as hard to earn than women's money.

After visiting several stores, Qin Yu was shocked by the waiter's asking price, especially when the other party saw that Qin Yu was a star, the asking price was even higher.

In a store called "Tongguzhai", Qin Yu looked at a pair of pastel plum bottles with the base model "made in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty", and the other party directly asked for more than 2 million yuan.

In order to match this offer, the shop owner told the inheritance of this item: "Mr. Qin, this was produced by the Kangxi official kiln. The Kangxi Emperor Yongzheng and Gan were all court items. Later, Emperor Qianlong rewarded it to Heshen and Lords, and it was not until Heshen was confiscated and returned to the palace."

"Oh, so, it seems that there is a source. Then, Boss Li, how did you receive it?" Qin Yu couldn't help laughing as he looked at the boss performing there with an eloquent expression.

According to the store owner, Empress Dowager Cixi cherished this pair of plum bottles very much back then. Even when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded, Empress Dowager Cixi did not forget to bring it with her. Later, she was taken away by a fleeing palace maid on the way and was left to the public. The store owner also received this treasure from the grandson of the palace maid. If Qin Yu had not seen that he was a person with great identities, he would definitely not have taken it out to offer the treasure.

Although I don’t know much about antiques, as a Yanjing native, I have also read and dyed these common tricks in the antique market since I was a child.

Most of them would use royal royals as a rhetoric, and the Qing Dynasty was pulled out to stand up for these items the most were Kangxi, Qianlong and Empress Dowager Cixi. In the past two years, with the popularity of "The Romantic Talent Ji Xiaolan", they added Heshen and Lords when describing them. Because as long as these objects are connected with them, they can be transformed into royal goods, coated with a layer of gold, and their value doubles.

Now there are even more people. In order to prove their arguments, they will also use several appraisal certificates made by experts who often appear on TV programs as proof, or call out auction announcements from several auction houses for example. However, most of these certificates and auction house announcements are made by balls on the plate, deliberately raising their value.

Perhaps this pair of vases is really just like the store owner said. It belongs to the palace and will never reach such a high price. Qin Yu’s mental price is only 200,000 to 300,000. If the other party asks for 400,000 or 500, Qin Yu is still interested in countering the price. After all, the shape and style of the plum vase are good. But the other party now directly raises the price to 2 million, and there is no need to bargain. Qin Yu did not become a sucker and shook his hand and said goodbye directly.

After leaving Tongguzhai, he looked at the time and did not continue to wander around. Instead, he came directly to Liulichang, which is the most famous and largest storefront, "Rongbaozhai". However, he did not enter Rongbaozhai, but walked into the "Guanfuzhai" opposite it.

"Oh, isn't this Xiaoyuer? Are you not interested in antiques at all? Why did you go shopping in Liulichang today?"

There is a tea room on the right side of the entrance of "Guanfuzhai" where two men were drinking tea. The person who was speaking was a man in his forties, not tall, wearing a gray jacket, sitting in front of a wooden carved tea table, making tea while staring at Qin Yu jokingly. The man sitting opposite him turned his back to Qin Yu, and when he heard his words, he turned to look at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu saw the two of them clearly and quickly bowed and said, "Hello, Mr. Chen, hello, Mr. Ma. I'm here to greet you both today."

"Roll!" The man glared at Qin Yu and said disdainfully: "Just just got ready to open the door when I saw you boy passing by my door."

Qin Yu saw that the other party exposed him without any embarrassment. He also understood that the other party was helping him explain to the opposite Ma Master.

Mr. Ma nodded to him, then called Qin Yu to sit down: "Qin Yu, you have developed well in the past two years. I heard director Baogang mention you a few days ago. "Struggle" has had a high rating recently."

"I should thank Director Zhao for his support." Qin Yu did not take any credit.

"That's what you played well, especially Xiao Yuer. The Lu Tao you played is really good."

The man who just spoke first was named Chen Jinghui, and the man sitting opposite him was Ma Weidu, the boss of "Guanfuzhai".

Chen Jinghui and Qin Yu are very familiar with him. He is one year older than Qin Ming. He was born in the military compound with Haiyan, the boss of Hairun Company. His father was a cadre of the military art troupe and Qin Ming's guitar teacher.

When Qin Ming established a band, Chen Jinghui also played with him for a while. Later, Ma Weishu opened the "Haima Dance Hall" and pulled him over. After the Haima Dance Hall was disbanded, Chen Jinghui left the entertainment industry and played antique calligraphy and paintings with Ma Weishu. However, now Ma Weishu's energy is all on the "Guanfu Museum", and this "Guanfuzhai" is handed over to Chen Jinghui for management.

Qin Yu sat directly opposite Chen Jinghui, and was not polite, so he poured the water that had just boiled in his kettle into the glass next to him.

"I'm the water from Yuquan Mountain. Drinking like this is just a waste of things." Chen Jinghui looked at the glass in Qin Yu's hand and called out with some distress.

"It's still the same, so stingy." Qin Yu put down the cup, took out two boxes of tea from his backpack and handed it to the man: "I don't drink your water for nothing, don't you see it, the best frozen oolong, Mr. Ma, you and Mr. Chen each have a box."

"Oh, it's really the best frozen oolong in Wanwan." Ma Weidu took the tea and looked at Qin Yu and said in confusion: "This tea is not cheap, Xiao Yuer is afraid that something is wrong."

Chen Jinghui also took the tea and said to Qin Yu: "That's right, you can show your kindness and be either a traitor or a thief. I just said this to Lao Ma before you came in. Tell me, was it for me or Lao Ma?"

"Uncle Chen, I can't come here to honor you..."

After Qin Yu finished speaking, he looked at the two of them with disbelief and had to smile and say to them: "A elder is about to celebrate his birthday. She usually likes to arrange flowers. Today she is coming to touch a pair of vases to give her a birthday gift."

"I just said that this kid doesn't like antique calligraphy and paintings, so there must be something wrong with coming here today." Chen Jinghui smiled proudly at Ma Weidu, and then continued to ask: "Do you want paired vases? What price is the approximate price?"

"It's fine if it doesn't exceed 300,000." Qin Yu then described the vase he encountered in Tongguzhai.

"I know the pair of plum vases from Tongguzhai. It is good for Kangxi official kilns. I'm afraid I can't get the 300,000 yuan." Chen Jinghui frowned when he heard Qin Yu's words, and thought for a while before giving the information he knew.

Ma Weidu followed and said, "There is a pair of high-quality imitation Yuan blue and white jade pot spring bottles from Cuizhen Pavilion, which are more suitable for flower arrangement than plum vases. Our industry estimates are about 300,000 yuan. It's just that the rules are not good and broken. If you want, add 50,000 yuan and let Lao Chen take you to see it."

"I understand this, thank you, Mr. Ma." Every industry has its own industry rules, and the antique industry also has it. If you directly reveal the lowest price of the treasures in the other party's store, this is to break the industry rules and you must give the other party a certain profit margin.
