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

Chapter 88: Craftsmanship
There was also a young man at the scene who immediately recognized that it was a traditional handicraft of their country and immediately came over.

"Sir, can I see it?"

This young man is quite polite.

However, they always appear to be good at what they do on the surface, giving people the impression of being polite, but in fact, they use all kinds of dirty tricks.

The Chinese people are well aware of this.

Henry nodded and told him to look around. He was just looking for someone to take over! Now that he had delivered himself to his door, there was no reason to refuse. He would even cheat him out of it!

Koizumi did not look at the bronze pot or anything like that first, but instead stretched out his hand towards the bronze statue with a very solemn expression.

After looking at it for a while and confirming that it was one of the four great monsters in their country, Koizumi respectfully put the bronze statue down. Then, he looked at other bronze artifacts.

Others may not understand, but as a commoner, doesn't he know how to hammer copper?
The fame of hammered copperware is not only due to its hand-beaten copper characteristics, but also to the special patterns on its surface. This pattern also has a specific name, called hammer eye pattern.

The hammer pattern is natural and casual, and can produce many styles with different textures, like barren and cracked land, waves blown by the breeze, or the cracked bark of an old tree. In short, it gives people a sense of Zen of returning to nature.

These bronze artifacts in front of us are just like this.

Koizumi guessed in his heart that these bronze artifacts must be the works of a master in his country and have a high collection value.

Next, the color of these bronzes is very high-end, similar to the Xuande bronze color of the Xuande furnace in the Ming Dynasty of China. They do not deny that this traditional handicraft of theirs has been learned from Chinese technology.

Of course, they didn't copy everything, they still had some of their own research and development.

That is, tin is branded on the surface of the copper ware, and then the copper ware with tin is immersed in liquids such as potassium sulfide. In this way, a variety of colors will appear on the surface of the copper ware, which is gorgeous and low-key, precious and steady.

In Koizumi's view, the hammering craft is a cultural treasure that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the hammering tools used to make hammered bronze ware are also treasures passed down from generation to generation.

But unfortunately, this is not produced by Yuchuantang.

There are many famous workshops of craftsmen who make hammered copperware, but the highest level is Tamagawa-do. Tamagawa-do is a world-famous old brand of hammered copperware, founded by its founder Tamagawa Kakubei in the late Edo period.

The supreme status of Tamagawa Hall in their place has a long history. At the 25th anniversary celebration of Emperor Meiji's wedding, a bronze vase representing blessings was presented. For a time, hammered bronze ware attracted much attention and received constant praise. Since then, Tamagawa Hall hammered bronze ware has become an imperial item and gift.

The reason why Yuchuantang can sit firmly in the top position in the industry is related to its mature and perfect "one-piece hammering".

Koizumi is well aware that not all hammered copperware can have the spout and body of the pot integrated. However, Yuchuantang can perfectly achieve the splicing process of any utensil without any welding.

"Have you read it?" Henry was not in a good mood about the little life.

He studied in China, so he definitely stands on China's side emotionally. It would be strange if he had any good feelings towards Xiaozi knowing the heinous crimes that Xiaozi committed in China.

"Sir, how much is this? I want them all." Koizumi said.

Henry: "You want all of them? Then I'll give you a special price of $10. Take it!"

Koizumi: "..."

Is this your discount price?

Although Koizumi could accept this price in his heart, he still wanted to lower it.

The people watching, especially the fat black man, immediately regretted it and slapped their thighs. They missed tens of thousands of dollars! Why didn't they follow for a while?

At this time, they also discovered that Lin Yuan and his group were quite capable.

I have won three containers in a row.

One or two can be considered luck, but three in a row means strength.

The fat black man was even more determined to follow through next time. "10 dollars is too high, how about 5 dollars?" Koizumi bargained.

Henry, however, seemed to have made up his mind: "Your country's treasure is only worth $5? Is it so worthless? Forget it, I don't think you are sincere."

"6 US dollars." Koizumi quickly added another ten thousand.

Henry: "One hundred thousand dollars, not a cent less, take it or leave it."

The onlookers shouted "Wow!"
Faced with Henry's stubbornness, Koizumi had no choice but to sulk and spend $10 to buy all the hammered bronzes.

After receiving the money, Henry was generous and gave the other party the container that had not been cleaned yet.

Koizumi bowed 90 degrees to express his gratitude.

This left Lin Yuan and the others speechless.

The spirit of bowing in daily life is really good, and he always bows 90 degrees. No matter how big the mistake or crime is, he just bows and it's over.

I've already bowed, what else do you want?
"Brother Lin, when do we start?" Qiao Yufan asked.

Everyone around Lin Yuan understood what Qiao Yufan meant by "taking action".

Come and go without indecent!
We must teach that fat black guy a lesson. Otherwise, next time when they set their sights on a container, everyone else will rush to grab it like crazy.

"Don't be impatient, wait a moment, there are two containers between us." Lin Yuan said.

He asked everyone to keep calm.

The two containers at the back were sold for US$8200 for one and US$23500 for the other. The reason for the high prices was that everyone saw a safe inside the container.

As we all know, any safe or safe deposit box in a container will be sold at a high price.

Everyone is willing to take a gamble.

Things that can be put into a safe are usually valuables. In the past, a safe was filled with hundreds of dollars in bills, which made the bidders earn a lot of money and even made the news.

An Zhui and Mi Gen took possession of the container with a safe.

However, the two did not open the safe on the spot, and planned to take it back to open the "blind box", which disappointed many people who wanted to watch the fun.

Apart from the safe, there were no other valuable items in the container, and some garbage was worth probably a few hundred dollars.

In other words, the safe would need to be worth at least twenty-two thousand dollars for An Zhui and Mi Gen to make their money back.

It's hard to say, after all, anything could be in the safe. An Zhui and Mi Gen lifted the safe and shook it, and they could hear the sound of metal colliding inside.

This gave them great confidence and they felt there might be gold inside.

Not only them, but other people at the scene also thought so.

Only Lin Yuan knew that the things in the safe were worthless.

After An Zhui and Mi Gen got the safe, they stopped playing and rushed back to open the box. This kind of safe requires special tools to open, which cannot be done on site.

"Ready." Lin Yuan said.

Henry and others were cheered up.

"Let me do it," Paul said.
