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

Chapter 11: Imitation of the Republic of China
"Did you also pick it up from the Antique Street just now?" Uncle De was surprised.

He visited many small stalls in the antique street, but it was difficult to find real things.

Don't think that there are no fakes or forgeries abroad and that you can pick up antiques anywhere.

Firstly, there are a lot of fake things abroad, and finding a bargain is like looking for a needle in a haystack; secondly, there are also experts abroad, and good things can easily be picked up by others.

Even in antique shops run by foreigners, few items are genuine.

Because many foreigners don’t understand Chinese cultural relics, they think some of them were made in ancient China and believe they must be authentic.

In fact, many of the things were stolen from them during the period of earning foreign exchange, but they have always treated them as treasures, especially porcelain.

Lin Yuan nodded: "I bought it from a foreigner's stall. He has a cat."

Chen Shiquan's face changed slightly, and he reminded his nephew: "Bobby? Don't contact that person in the future."

Apparently, he also knew the foreigner who was doing business with the cat.

Lin Yuan said he understood and gave his uncle a reassuring look.

Chen Shiquan looked at Uncle De: "Uncle De, is this also authentic?"

"What do you think?" Uncle De asked him back.

"How should I know?"

If he had this ability, he would have returned home in glory long ago! Why does he have to rely on his nephew to get rich now? To be honest, his bank account has never been so rich.

Uncle De smiled and said, "It's an imitation."

Chen Shiquan: “…”

Why are you so surprised when it's an imitation?
Even the audience in Lin Yuan's live studio was speechless. They thought the anchor was going to get rich again! Now that they saw that the anchor had made a mistake, they felt much better.

Sure enough, happiness is built on the pain and misfortune of others.

Lin Yuan frowned, he believed in the golden finger and the porcelain cup could not be fake.

"That's what I said!" Chen Shiquan felt it was normal and reasonable.

In his opinion, his nephew had only been in antiques for a short time and was a novice, so it was normal for him to make mistakes and pay the tuition. He had found two or three pieces at a loss before, and it felt unreal to him.

Then, he comforted his nephew: "Don't be impulsive in the future, study hard, this industry is very complicated, you have to..."

Seeing Chen Shiquan seriously "educating" his nephew, Uncle De didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Come on! You're still talking about your nephew. Although this Kangxi Five-Colored Twelve-Month Flower God Cup is a replica, I didn't say it's worthless! The Flower God Cup is a classic from the Kangxi period. All subsequent emperors have imitated it, even during the Republic of China and even in modern times.

This plum blossom cup is a replica from the Republic of China period," said Uncle De.

Chen Shiquan: "Those from the Republic of China aren't worth much, right?"

In the eyes of many people, porcelain from the Republic of China is almost considered modern porcelain. It cannot be said that it is completely worthless. Some special varieties still have some collection value.

"I told you to learn more and watch more, but you went to whorehouses..."

Chen Shiquan quickly denied: "Uncle De, please don't talk nonsense. I have an incompatible relationship with gambling and drugs."

Good guy!
You didn't mention the word "yellow" at all!

Even if you are taken out for target practice, it won't be unfair to you at all.

Uncle De was too lazy to deal with this guy anymore, so he turned to Lin Yuan and explained, "If the Kangxi Five-Colored Twelve-Flower Pattern Cup from the Qing Dynasty is genuine, a single cup would be worth millions, and a set is even more rare and can be auctioned for a sky-high price.

For example, a few years ago, a house was auctioned in our country for over 1.3 million yuan.

Even a single cup reproduced from the Republic of China period can be auctioned for hundreds of thousands of yuan, or even over a million yuan.”

After Kangxi, the "Twelve Flower God Cups of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty" have been imitated in all dynasties, and most of the inscriptions on the bottom also retain the words "Made in the Kangxi Period of the Qing Dynasty".

In addition, Uncle De also said that the rarity of each cup is different, and the value is naturally different. Among them, the plum blossom cup is a relatively rare cup and its value is relatively higher.

"There is no auction record for the Plum Blossom Cup yet, but I know that someone is willing to spend $17 to buy it," Uncle De continued.

Converted into RMB, that's more than 1.2 million.

Chen Shiquan was stunned again. Although it was not comparable to the ancient book yesterday, the price was not low! 17 US dollars could buy a very good luxury car in the United States.

Lin Yuan thought: It seems that the ones with a value below 10 US dollars are blue, the ones with a value above 10 and below 100 million US dollars are yellow, and the ones with a value above 100 million US dollars are red.

He got it.

"Uncle De, will you accept it?" Lin Yuan asked.

Uncle De nodded: "Yes, and it can be $17."

"So you don't want to earn money?"

Uncle De laughed and said, "This plum blossom cup from the Republic of China has a market price of about 17 US dollars, but if you can operate it, you can get a lot more."

As to how it would work, he didn’t say.

Lin Yuan tactfully didn't ask.

"Okay! Then I'll give it to you, Uncle De." Lin Yuan said straightforwardly.

After that, he found that the number of likes had reached 10 again, so he picked another lucky viewer and gave him a cash red envelope of 10 yuan. This way, he was still about away from the million reputation points.

Lin Yuan's uncle Chen Shiquan is a little autistic.

Could it be that this nephew of his is the chosen one?
Simply outrageous.

How long have you been in contact with antiques?

He has been in this business for so many years, but his efforts are not as good as this kid's one month's efforts? It's so depressing.

It’s true, hard work is nothing compared to talent!

Not only Chen Shiquan felt emotional, but also those old fans who were familiar with Lin Yuan.

They had seen Lin Yuan in his down and out state, but who would have thought that after finding the right path, he would rise to the top.

Uncle De carefully put away the imitation plum blossom cup from the Republic of China period.

"Or cash?" he asked Lin Yuan.

There is cash and gold in his safe, so no matter what payment method Lin Yuan wants, he can satisfy it.

"Transfer the money! Thanks, Uncle De."

"I should be the one thanking you for taking care of the business." Uncle De said with a smile.

Chen Shiquan's mind was still in a mess until he left Uncle De's antique shop.

"Can you really see?" he couldn't help but ask Lin Yuan.

"It doesn't seem very difficult. Of course, I won't touch those that I'm not sure about. Uncle, what do you think? In my opinion, don't set up a stall." Finally, Lin Yuan advised.

Chen Shiquan and the audience in the live broadcast room: "..."

Is there anyone as Versailles as you?
Chen Shiquan gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, I'll let you be crazy for a while and try it out."

Picking up bargains again and again made him believe that his nephew was quite capable.

"Then where are we going tomorrow? I've already looked at all the stalls in the Antique Street. It would be pointless to go again." Lin Yuan asked.

"I'll make the arrangements. You don't have to worry about it. There's a flea market nearby. We can go there tomorrow. Come on, my uncle will take you to a feast."

Chen Shiquan started planning in his mind.

There are also many antique markets, flea markets, etc. in California. After visiting California, you can go to other states, or even to neighboring Canada.

Maybe, this time he can really make a fortune with the help of his nephew, live in a villa, date foreign girls, and buy a cruise ship.

Afterwards, he took Lin Yuan to another famous Chinese restaurant to eat seafood, with plenty of abalone and lobster.

　The contract has been signed, you can collect it with confidence.
