Chapter 702 701. Want to pick up a leak (55)

Li Du really didn't think that the chunky boss came to trouble his group. Among the four of them, there were three foreigners, black and white, and Mexicans who were neither black nor white.

According to his understanding of domestic policies, ordinary people dare not trouble foreigners, especially if the other party is wrong.

Even if the other party wants to find trouble for his own side, how can he find Jinjing City, which is so big and has a population of tens of millions? It's not easy to find out if you have a small goal by yourself, but it's easier to get into trouble with Godzilla and Ou.

Even if the other party meets him, he knows that it is impossible for the underworld to carry a gun in the country, and as long as there are no guns and firearms, he does not believe that the other party is capable of surpassing him.

Besides, even if they can beat themselves, but their speed is fast, if they want to run, at least the other party will not be able to catch up with them.

Thinking of this, he rejected Da Ao's kindness, and said: "You guys stay here to rest, I'll just take Boss Fu and the two of you."

Jinjing City is one of the top 20 big cities in China. There are many foreigners working here, and even an unknown number of foreigners come to travel.

Hans's size and build were within the category of ordinary people, and he would not attract attention, especially in the antique street, where there were most foreigners.

Taking advantage of the night, he drove into the antique street.

Jinjing City is an old city with a strong historical atmosphere. It has been born for more than a thousand years. Unfortunately, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, all the buildings with ancient historical characteristics were demolished.

The street of antiques imitates the old architectural style of the past. The entrance of the street is a city tower. There are a bunch of tadpole characters on the city gate. It is said that they are pictographs. Li Du has not figured out what it is written.

Evenings in winter are still very lively here.

The Chinese New Year is not far away, only half a month away, and every household in the shop has hung red lanterns at the door, and there are small stalls on both sides of the road, and people come and go, bustling.

Seeing the gate tower, Hans quickly took out his camera and took a few photos.

He also wanted to take a few group photos, but unfortunately there were so many people coming and going that the view of the camera would always be blocked. Li Du couldn't take all the photos for him, so he could only give up in resentment.

However, he was still very satisfied and exclaimed: "This is the real second-hand market. Look at the architectural features, it is really old-fashioned. I have a hunch that we will find a bunch of treasures here today."

Li Du shook his head and smiled. It is more difficult to pick up leaks in China than in the United States.

Historically, when the Republic was just reforming and opening up, there were indeed a large number of cultural relics and antiques in Jinjing City, but after 30 to 40 years of washing the sand, even a beggar would know whether a porcelain bowl picked up by the road was an antique, let alone these dealer?

When Li Du was working in Jinjing City, he heard from the local people that the antique street is now a scam, and there are absolutely no antiques for sale at a low price.

But he wants to try his luck, maybe he will find something good?

There are not only antiques in the antique street, but also many special snacks.

Hans was interested in these things, he kept opening and closing his wallet, and packed a lot of sugar figurines, candied haws, old-fashioned popcorn, etc.

Li Du found a stall and released small flying insects to let it start to sweep.

The first carpet area is quite large, and it is divided into two layers, one is a shelf that is propped up, and the other is laid on the ground.

On the shelves are mainly old-fashioned books, calligraphy and paintings marked with words such as "orphan copy" and "residual copy", while on the ground are copper coins and porcelain.

The little flying insects flew around it, showing no interest.

He was looking at the things on the stall, and the stall owner was also looking at him.

These antique peddlers are more thieves and smarter than each other. They have been in this industry all year round, and they have developed a pair of sharp eyes.

Their sharp eyes are not used to look at cultural relics and antiques. How can there be so many cultural relics and antiques these days? They mainly look at the customer, and when the customer comes to the front, they can figure it out with a second glance.

Li Du is their favorite client, young and bold, the key is to bring a foreigner.

That foreigner is still full of interest in Chinese culture and obviously rich. He has been buying snacks since he entered the street. He is generous and doesn't ask the price at all.

In this way, when Li Du looked at the items on the stall, the stall owner warmly greeted him: "Come on, young man, and you, a foreign friend, what do you want?"

Li Du waved his hands and said with a smile: "Let me take a look first, my friend and I are not familiar with this place."

It's good to be unfamiliar, and the stall owner was even more enthusiastic: "Take a look, come and take a look, I have a lot of things here. Look, polygonatum odoratum, porcelain and lacquered paper, everything you expect to find."

Hans asked curiously, "Can I have a look?"

The stall owner said in quite fluent English: "My friend, take a look at whatever you want, look at the things here, whatever you want!"

Li Du smiled. It seems that the rumors are true. Foreign tourists are the main consumers of the antique street, and they are also the main people who are deceived.

In order to open up the market for foreigners, these stall owners have taught themselves English.

He once read a news that there was a boss in Antique Street who had worked here for five years without making any money, but he opened an English training class and even opened a chain store.

Hans' eyes were attracted by an antique large porcelain jar, and there was a blue drawing on the blanket, which showed a circle of lotus flowers and a little girl on a boat.

The stall owner noticed it, and immediately patted the porcelain altar and said: "Friend, you have a unique vision, this is a treasure, the treasure of my store here!"

Hans asked, "What's this? It looks good."

"Not bad? Hey, your words are a bit insulting, which is very good!" The stall owner said exaggeratedly, "To be honest, this is a Yuan blue and white flower, and it is absolutely beautiful in the antique market of Jinjing City. No more than one slap!"

Li Du was stunned: "Is this Yuan Qinghua?"

The stall owner nodded and said: "Yes, Yuan Qinghua, did you read the news? A piece of Yuan Dynasty large..."

"As far as I know, Yuan blue and white auctions are held in units of 100 million, right?" Li Du said with a smile.

The stall owner shook his head and said: "Although I sell Yuan blue and white flowers, I have to be honest, how can this thing be so valuable? One is hype, and the other is money laundering. In fact, this thing is worth one or two million yuan. .”

Li Du said: "You can also send one or two million to the auction, right?"

The stall owner sighed, turned the porcelain jar around, and said, "Look, my Yuan blue and white is flawed, who will take it at the auction? Of course, you are right, if this thing is perfect, how can I How about putting it on the stand?"

There is a gap in the neck of the porcelain jar, and there are spider web cracks around it.

Li Du said: "Boss, you are honest, I can't see this gap if you don't tell me."

The stall owner smiled boldly and said, "Isn't it true that we do business? I don't tell you this, you will see it later, why don't I tell the truth, you can't deceive customers."
