Chapter 9 Encountering a zero-yuan purchase (asking for collection)
Having a cat that can do business is probably the dream of many people.
The newspaper on the stall owner's face was peeled off, and everyone found that he was a white man, with a look of excessive indulgence, and his eyes were sunken. Knowledgeable people have already noticed that this person usually smokes a lot.
In the United States, such people are not uncommon.
After all, things like marijuana have been legalized and can even be purchased in regular stores.
Lin Yuan naturally saw it.
It is best to have less or no contact with this kind of people, as they are very troublesome.
Seeing that the other party was a white man, Lin Yuan pointed at the cup and asked in English: "Howmuch?"
The white man rubbed his eyes first, glanced at the cup Lin Yuan was interested in, and then stretched out a slap: "500 US dollars."
It can't be said to be expensive, but Lin Yuan still haggled habitually, stretched out two fingers and asked: "200 US dollars, okay?"
Unexpectedly, the other party did not continue to bargain, but made an "OK" gesture, and then yawned again, with his eyelids drooping, as if he was about to fall asleep at any moment.
In this case, Lin Yuan stopped talking, took out 200 US dollars in cash and handed it to the other party.
The previous $10,000 bill has not been spent yet!
After clearing the money and goods, Lin Yuan left quickly. After the white stall owner got the money, he obviously felt much better. He poured some cat food for the orange cat and continued to lie down and sleep.
In the live broadcast room, someone has already recognized the origin of the cup, but they can't tell whether it is true or false.
"That seems to be the Plum Blossom Cup in the December Flower God's Cup, but I don't know when it was." Someone said.
The full name of the Flower God Cup is the Qing Kangxi blue and white multicolored twelve-flower pattern cup. It is a famous porcelain from the official kilns of Kangxi and Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty. In addition to the blue and white multicolored cups, there are also blue and white varieties, which were imitated in Yongzheng, Jiaqing, Guangxu and the Republic of China.
This kind of cup comes in a set of 12 pieces, one cup contains a flower, one side of the cup is painted, and the other side has a poem written on it. The poem is from a Tang Dynasty poem.
Each cup is painted with a seasonal flower, which refers to a famous woman in history, and is inscribed with a corresponding poem. It is commonly known as the "December Flower God Cup". The characters on the bottom of their cups are smaller, with different fonts, and most of them are not very neat.
In the Qingguan kiln, the December Flower God Cup combined painting, poetry, calligraphy, and seal seals for the first time, which undoubtedly gave porcelain a higher artistic attainment.
It is said that Emperor Kangxi was so fond of it that he carried this set of Twelve Flower God Cups with him on several southern tours and hunts.
"If it is true, the anchor will get rich again."
"Are you thinking too much? How can there be so many genuine products?"
"Yes! I just checked the information. This kind of cup is extremely precious. Even the Palace Museum can't even put together a set."
……
Because it is extremely difficult to make the Flower God Cup, Kangxi's colorful Twelve Flower God Cups have gone through hundreds of years of vicissitudes, and only a handful of them exist in the world.
Many well-known collectors at home and abroad have been pursuing the collection of complete sets of Flower God Cups throughout their lives, but often things go against their wishes.
In fact, throughout the history of ceramics, the preservation of such a large number of sets of porcelain can be regarded as a rare treasure. It is even more difficult to gather together a group of twelve that come out of the kiln in the same batch.
Even the Kangxi Colorful Twelve-Flower God's Cup in the Palace Museum's collection is made of pieces and is not from the same set.
It can be seen how precious the colorful Twelve Flower God Cup is.
Lin Yuan didn't say much. After all, in the eyes of many people, he was just a newcomer and a rookie. He had only studied antiques for a short time, and no one believed him if he said too much.
And, to be honest, he really couldn't tell clearly, he only knew that this thing was worth money.
Before noon, Lin Yuan had already visited all the antique stalls. In fact, this antique street is not large in scale, with few stalls and not many resources.
Unfortunately, Lin Yuan found nothing behind.
During this period, Lin Yuan instead sent out five thousand-yuan cash red envelopes. Today, his reputation value exceeds 700,000, and he is only about 200,000 away from one million.
If nothing else goes wrong, he will definitely be able to collect one million reputation points today.
At noon, the old uncle called him and asked where he was and asked him to come for dinner. Lin Yuan had no choice but to tell him that he was in the antique street.
Not long after, the old uncle came to pick him up on a three-bouncer.
"Get in the car."
Hearing "Please pay attention to reversing", Lin Yuan was really convinced.
"Are you buying it again? Take your time." Old uncle Chen Shiquan reminded him when he saw the porcelain bottle in Lin Yuan's hand.
It seems that my nephew has become a bit addicted, and he needs to pour cold water on it to prevent his brain from getting too hot. The antique industry is very deep and it is easy to pay tuition fees.
Lin Yuan: "I've been shopping all morning, just these two pieces. I originally wanted to take them to Boss Lei for an estimate, but his store is not open."
Chen Shiquan told Lin Yuan that Boss Lei did not open the door every day. Sometimes, Boss Lei will go on business trips to other places, probably only two or three days a week.
Lin Yuan called him a good guy.
It is true that the antique shop does not open for three years and lasts for three years after opening.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Go to Uncle De's shop!" Chen Shiquan said.
There were so many antique shops, but he could only trust the ones owned by Uncle De and Boss Lei. The others were more or less deceptive. People don't care whether you are a compatriot or not, they even say that the person who cheated you is a compatriot.
Yesterday, Chen Shiquan reminded Lin Yuan that it is best to be careful of his compatriots abroad. Sometimes, they are worse than foreigners, and you will be stabbed in the back by them if you are not careful.
Lin Yuan nodded: "That's okay."
They passed by a supermarket and encountered a staggering scene.
"This group of rubbish." Chen Shiquan couldn't help but curse.
That’s right! They encountered the characteristic American scenery-zero dollar shopping.
A group of black guys are frantically restocking.
Only a "free" place like the United States can be used to rob stores openly. As long as the amount does not exceed $950, it is not considered robbery.
The people in the store are not allowed to stop him.
"Uncle, have you ever bought something for zero yuan?" Lin Yuan was curious.
Chen Shiquan: "What are you thinking about? That's the welfare of Hei Chai. If we go to rob it, we will definitely be in big trouble if we are caught. Don't have that kind of mentality."
He told Lin Yuan that not long ago, a Chinese joined Zero Yuan Gou and was caught.
Not everyone can make zero-dollar purchases in the United States. The zero-dollar shopping phenomenon mainly occurs among certain racial and ethnic groups, especially Black Chai.
After some zero-dollar purchasers are arrested, the police will treat them differently based on their racial background, which reflects the racial contradictions and discrimination problems that exist in the United States.
After hearing this, Lin Yuan thought to himself: This is awesome! Hei Chai seemed to be treated like a master and given special treatment wherever he went, as long as he was not in his hometown in Africa.
This is the case in the United States, and it is also the case in our country. Lin Yuan can't figure it out even if he racks his brain.
"It's great! You don't have to work anymore. If you're short of money or supplies, you can just go to the store and grab some." Lin Yuan said.
The daily quota of 900 US dollars should be enough as long as you are not extravagant, right?
I saw the group of Heizi brothers finishing their purchases and walking away in a swaggering manner.
Black actually became a protective color.
In Lin Yuan's live broadcast room, the audience was also talking about it, and they all gained experience.
