Pick up bargains in Chinatown and make 10,000 times the profit at the beginning

Chapter 10: Speaking Human Language (Please Collect)
Uncle De’s Judezhai is open.

At this time, Uncle De was reading the newspaper leisurely inside.

Mobile phones are now popular, but people like Uncle De are still accustomed to using traditional ways to learn about recent current events.

In addition, there are indeed more people reading newspapers abroad.

The main reasons for still reading newspapers include trust factors, the need to obtain information, and the preferences of specific groups of people.

The trust factor is self-evident. There are indeed too many fake news in the new media. Many people think that the information in newspapers is more credible.

This is indeed a problem of new media and there is no need to explain anything.

Secondly, the need to obtain information is also the reason why people choose newspapers.

Take the United States, for example. Although the average American gets news from four electronic devices, the vast majority still rely on traditional media, such as reading newspapers and watching TV. This trend is reflected in all age groups, especially the middle-aged and elderly and young people.

As for some people bragging that foreigners are well-educated and will not play with their mobile phones or make noise on the subway, but will choose to read books or newspapers.

That's pure bullshit.

Just take a trip on the New York subway and you will know the quality of foreigners at a glance.

Some foreigners read books and newspapers on the subway because their subways may have no signal. It's not like in China, where the signal is still full inside the subway.

"Uncle De, what are you busy with?" Chen Shiquan greeted him knowingly.

Uncle De looked up and saw Lin Yuan and Chen Shiquan together. He was a little surprised: "Do you know each other?"

Chen Shiquan chuckled: "My nephew, dear."

Lin Yuan also greeted: "Hello, Uncle De!"

He found that Uncle De was still dressed the same as before. If you didn't know, you would think he hadn't changed his clothes! This man exuded the unique elegance of the Chinese.

All in all, it looks very decent at first glance.

"Hello, young man!" Uncle De said with a smile.

He saw the porcelain bottle in Chen Shiquan's hand and guessed the purpose of this uncle and nephew's visit.

"Uncle De, I have to trouble you again."

"Give it to me and have a look." Uncle De put down the newspaper in his hand and waved his hand.

Chen Shiquan quickly handed over the porcelain bottle and gently placed it on the table.

Uncle De took out a pair of white gloves, put them on his hands, held the porcelain bottle with one hand and held a magnifying glass with the other, and began to identify it.

"How did it come from?" Uncle De asked as he examined it.

In fact, it is not necessary to ask this question, but antique shop owners are afraid of receiving things from inappropriate sources, so they usually ask this question out of habit.

"Family heirloom..." Chen Shiquan blurted out, habitually using the same excuse he used when setting up his stall.

Before he could finish, Uncle De interrupted him: "Speak human language."

Damn you! You're still talking about heirlooms in my place.

"Ahem! I'm used to saying that." Chen Shiquan chuckled and said, "My nephew bought it in the antique street."

He looked at his nephew Lin Yuan: "How much did it cost?"

"250"

Chen Shiquan: "Why are you cursing?"

Lin Yuan rolled his eyes: "I bought it for $250! Who did I scold?"

Uh!
Chen Shiquan was speechless.

Uncle De was surprised and said, "Your nephew is much better than you. This is an enamel lantern vase from the Daoguang period. If you buy it for $250, it's a great bargain."

Lantern vase, as the name suggests, is named because of its lantern-like shape. It has a straight mouth, short neck, full shoulders, cylindrical belly and ring foot. It was first fired in the Jingdezhen official kiln during the Yongzheng period and was popular during the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty.

Chen Shiquan was startled. "Authentic?"

He brought his nephew here to pour some cold water on the boy so that he could calm down and not get carried away with the fun.

However, Uncle De now told him that this thing was an antique and he had found a bargain.

"What else? If I'm not mistaken, the snuff bottle that your nephew brought over the day before yesterday was also picked up by him, right? In just two or three days, he found bargains twice. He must have good eyesight and luck!" Uncle De said.

Chen Shiquan: "Not only that, he also picked up an ancient book "Collected Works of Wang Wengong" yesterday. That's a big bargain. Boss Lei knows it."

For fear that Uncle De would not believe him, Chen Shiquan finally dragged Boss Lei out.

Uncle De was shocked.

"The Song Dynasty Longshu version of 'Collected Works of Wang Wengong' that Mr. Hong obtained was discovered by Xiaolin?" This news surprised him so much.

Chen Shiquan and Lin Yuan didn't know that the news that Mr. Hong had obtained the Song Dynasty Longshu version of "Collected Works of Wang Wengong" had already spread in the Chinese antique circle in San Francisco and was causing a sensation.

Uncle De naturally heard about it as well.

But he never expected that the "Collected Works of Wang Wengong" was actually picked up by the young man in front of him in the antique street. It seems that Lin Yuan's chance of finding bargains is very high!

Chen Shiquan was very proud: "Isn't it great?"

It seemed as if he was the one who got lucky.

Uncle De ignored him, turned to look at Lin Yuan, and praised: "Xiao Lin, you are amazing!"

Lin Yuan didn't dare to be too proud. He knew that his own business was all thanks to the treasure-hunting instrument. Without the treasure-hunting instrument, he would be nothing.

"I'm not sure. It looks like it and the price is not expensive. Even if I'm wrong, the loss won't be big." Lin Yuan said.

Seeing Lin Yuan say this, Uncle De admired him even more. It is rare for young people to be neither arrogant nor impatient.

"He's much better than your uncle. He hardly makes a living once a year." Uncle De made a sarcastic remark about Chen Shiquan.

"Uncle De, you can't say that. I picked up a piece of jade last time. Have you forgotten?"

Uncle De glanced at him and asked, "When was the last time?"

You still have the nerve to talk about the last time, it was two years ago, okay?

In Lin Yuan’s live broadcast room, the audience were dumbfounded, especially Lin Yuan’s old fans.

I didn't expect this guy to change a track, and it seemed like he had opened up his Ren and Du meridians, and he became awesome. Picking up bargains for two or three consecutive days, can't it be called luck?
This shows that Lin Yuan has found the right path and has a talent for identifying treasures and finding bargains.

If you had done this earlier, you wouldn't have to go abroad! You can definitely do well in the country.

Chen Shiquan changed the subject depressedly: "Uncle De, how much is this bottle worth?"

"About fifty or sixty thousand dollars. If I accept it, I can only give you fifty thousand dollars." Uncle De said clearly.

As for whether to sell it or not, he didn't force it.

In general, the quality of porcelain during the Daoguang period declined. Of course, we cannot deny it completely, there must be fine pieces and valuable ones, but this lantern bottle is obviously not one of them.

At present, the 50 most expensive enamel porcelains in auction history are almost all from the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, especially the enamels from the Qianlong period, which account for the majority.

Lin Yuan was not surprised by this valuation.

The treasure hunting device showed a blue light spot, which meant it was probably within one hundred thousand US dollars.

"Fifty thousand is fifty thousand!"

If he could sell it, Lin Yuan would never let the antiques stay in his hands. At least for now, he had no plans to collect them himself, and he would cash in if he could.

"And this porcelain cup, please take a look at it, Uncle De."

Uncle De was shocked when he saw the porcelain cup.
