At first, she thought that this little girl was domineering, but after contacting her later, she discovered that Yun Ranqing also had a deep love for the motherland, and the Yun Group also invested a lot in the country, so Su Luomei still hoped that Yun Ranqing would

My family has a good friend, Master Su.

Although as a public servant, you should not engage in feudal superstition, but sometimes, when the facts are in front of you, you have to believe it.

Su Luomei called Yun Ranqing on the landline at the front desk, and then took Su Fengxi out to eat. After Yun Ranqing came over, they could go to the antique street together.

As soon as he heard that Yun Ranqing was accompanying Master Su today, Mr. Yun waved his hand and gave Yun Ranqing a lot of money, saying that if Master Su liked something, their Yun family would pay for it. Yun Ranqing accepted it with a smile.

I didn't feel anything was wrong.

Yun Ranqing drove away the family car. In this era, not many families owned cars, and cars were also a symbol of status.

It has only been three or four years since the Yun family returned to the Magic City, and the first person to come back was Yun Ranqing. At that time, she represented the Yun Group when she returned to China to invest and met Su Luomei. Now, she is very lucky to be able to meet Su Luomei.

Otherwise, there may not be a solution to my brother's problem now.

Since Master Su likes antiques, and their Yun family also has a lot of antique collections, wouldn't it be more perfect to give them to Master Su when he leaves?

Even in later generations, a woman like Yun Ranqing can be called a strong woman.

In the late Qing Dynasty, there was a poem written by Zhu Zhi that said: "Treasures are hidden in ordinary alleys, and half of the country is in Shanghai."

This is also the origin of the later saying that "the magic city has half of the country's collection in China".

The development history of the antique market from the late Qing Dynasty to the present for more than 100 years has become the most important part of the local history of Shanghai. The inclusive and open-minded Shanghai culture has also made Shanghai’s collection business model create countless innovations in the Chinese antique industry.

A "first time".

The antique market in the Magic City originated during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty. After the Taiping Rebellion in the mid-19th century and the occupation of Nanshi, many wealthy families brought gold, silver and ancestral antiques and poured into the Magic City concession like a tide, which could provide protection.

There were many big collectors and antique dealers among the crowd, who started new businesses directly in Shanghai; there were also merchants and warlords who carried a large number of antique treasures and had to sell off the antiques in order to make a living. This not only increased the supply of goods in the market, but also increased the transaction volume of antiques.

Leading to the development of Shanghai's antique industry.

During the turmoil, on the surface it seemed that all cultural exchange activities were interrupted, but private collection exchange activities were not interrupted, but became more secretive.

There are many thrift stores in the Magic City. Disposal stores, thrift stores, and consignment stores have different names. Their expressions, sizes, and items in circulation are different in each period.

In the early 1980s, because antique trading had never been included in the legal business scope of the government, it had been under attack. The trading venues for collectors moved from the triangular garden area on Huangpi Road in People's Square to Xikang Road Bridge, Dapu Bridge, and then to close to

Kuaiji Road, near the Zhonghua Road consignment shop, later became the Kuaiji Road antique market.

In the past two years, the city has allowed and included it into the legally operated collectibles market. Under the auspices of the Municipal Cultural Administration Commission, the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce, the Municipal Public Security Bureau and other departments, individual antique vendors in the Jiangji market have introduced the neglected Dongtai Road flower and bird collections.

market.

And he founded the "Liuhe Road Old Crafts Market" here, which became the first supervised old crafts market in Magic City approved by the Magic City Cultural Relics Management Committee. It is also the earliest in Magic City as we know it, and the earliest in the country.

It’s Dongtai Road Antique Market.

Small pavilions placed in order on the road have replaced street stalls. The number of merchants is about 100, and their business scope is divided into two categories: antiques and second-hand goods.

Yun Ranqing parked the car next to it. There were so many people in the antique market that cars couldn't get in. What's more, the antique market itself was a pedestrian street with almost no vehicles, and even bicycles were rarely seen.

"Isn't this antique market just opened two years ago? Why are there so many people?"

Su Luomei explained with a smile, "The antique market in the Magic City has been around for some years. Although the location has changed again and again, it is definitely the largest antique market in China. You can find both antiques and second-hand goods here."

Su Fengxi nodded, starting from the first entrance. Every time she came to a small vendor, Su Fengxi would squat down to see if there was anything small.

Of course, according to her abnormal eyesight, she can tell the authenticity at a glance, but Su Fengxi is also measured and will not just buy the treasures when she sees them. If everyone were like her, wouldn't they be invincible in the world.

Su Fengxi specializes in picking out antiques that she is interested in. Su Fengxi doesn't take those small pieces to heart, because some things have their own opportunities. As a monk, Su Fengxi will naturally not destroy others at will.

of opportunity.

Suddenly, Su Fengxi's eyes lit up and she saw a dark inkstone, with a look of disbelief in her eyes.

What kind of unlucky luck is this? It turns out to be Taoyan. Taoyan is the best in inkstones, and the material of Taoyan has stopped being mined thousands of years ago.

Although mining resumed after liberation, it was by no means an easy task, not to mention that this piece of Taoyan was immediately known to be an antique.

Tao inkstones are the most valuable in the north because of their fine stone quality, silky texture, beautiful color, fine and fast ink hair, heat preservation and sharp writing, and were already rare in the Song Dynasty.

Since its fame in the Tang Dynasty, Laokeng Tao Inkstone has been owned only by royal writers and wealthy businessmen.

For example, Zhao Xihu of the Song Dynasty said: "Except for the Duan and She stones, the Tao River green stone is the most valuable in the north. It is as green as blue, as moist as jade, and its ink does not fade away from the rocks under the Duan River. However, the stone is at the bottom of the deep water of the river, so it is not

It is the result of human effort and it is a priceless treasure."

There is a poem with an inscription: Tao's cliff, Duan's valley, mountains and rocks, only water and jade. You can't have both, one can be enough to keep warm. It's so cute, it has a bird's eye, how can it be changed, the duck's head is green.

Such a priceless treasure was thrown to the ground casually by the boss. It was really a waste of money.

Even so, Su Fengxi was not prepared to waste money. After all, the boss himself did not know how to count. Although Old Ancestor Su was rich, he was not poor and generous, so no matter how he sold the inkstone, he still had to negotiate the price.

"Boss, how can I sell this stone?"

"Hey, little girl, this is not a stone!" When the boss heard Su Fengxi's words, he immediately explained, "This is an inkstone. This is a fine inkstone. It is an antique from the Qing Dynasty. Little girl, please don't talk nonsense!"

Su Fengxi raised her eyebrows. Qing Dynasty antiques are really blind. They just set up a stall in the antique street like others. Even if they had many genuine goods, they were lost by others. Looking at the boss's attitude,
