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

Chapter 9: Encountering a Zero Yuan Purchase (Please Collect)
Having a cat that can do business is probably the dream of many people.

The newspaper on the stall owner's face was peeled back, and everyone discovered that he was a white man with a look of excessive sexual indulgence, with deep eye sockets. People with insight could already tell that he smoked a lot.

Such people are not uncommon in the United States.

After all, things like marijuana have been legalized and can even be purchased in regular stores.

Lin Yuan naturally saw it as well.

It's best to have less contact or no contact with this kind of people, as it's very troublesome.

Seeing that the other person was white, Lin Yuan pointed at the cup and asked in English: "How much?"

The white man rubbed his eyes first, glanced at the cup that Lin Yuan liked, and then stretched out his hand and said, "500 dollars."

It wasn’t expensive, but Lin Yuan still bargained out of habit, holding up two fingers and asking, “200 dollars, OK?”

Unexpectedly, the other party did not continue bargaining. He made an "OK" gesture, then yawned, with his eyelids drooping, as if he was about to fall asleep at any time.

In that case, Lin Yuan stopped talking and took out $200 in cash and handed it to the other party.

I haven’t even spent all the previous ten thousand dollars!
After the payment and goods were settled, Lin Yuan left quickly. After the white stall owner received the money, he was obviously in a much better mood. 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 just can't tell whether it is real or fake.

"That looks like the plum blossom cup among the December Flower God cups, but I don't know what period it is from." Someone said.

The full name of the Flower God Cup is the Qing Kangxi Blue and White Five-Color Twelve Flower Pattern Cup. It is a famous product among the official kiln porcelains of the Kangxi and Yongzheng periods of the Qing Dynasty. In addition to blue and white and five-color, there are also blue and white varieties. It was imitated during the Yongzheng, Jiaqing, Guangxu and Republic of China periods.

There are 12 cups in a set, one for each cup and one for each flower. One side of the cup is painted, and the other side is inscribed with a poem from a Tang Dynasty poem.

Each cup is painted with a seasonal flower, referring to a famous woman in history, and inscribed with a corresponding poem, and is commonly known as the "Twelve Month Flower God Cup". The inscriptions on the bottom of these cups are small, with different fonts, and most of them are not very neat.

Among the official kilns of the Qing Dynasty, the Twelve Moon Flower God Cup combined painting, poetry, calligraphy and seal carving for the first time, which undoubtedly gave the porcelain a higher artistic level.

It is said that Emperor Kangxi loved it so much that he carried the set of twelve flower god cups with him on several southern tours and hunting trips.

"If it's true, the anchor will get rich again."

"Are you overthinking it? How can there be so many genuine items?"

"Yes! I just checked the information. This kind of cup is extremely precious. Even the Palace Museum can't get a set."

……

Because the firing of the Flower God Cup is extremely difficult, the Kangxi Five-Colored Twelve Flower God Cups have gone through hundreds of years of vicissitudes, and only a few are left in the world.

Many well-known collectors at home and abroad have been pursuing the collection of a set of Flower God cups throughout their lives, but their wishes are often not fulfilled.

In fact, in the entire history of ceramics, such a large number of sets of porcelains, preserved in a complete set, are rare treasures. It is even more difficult to collect a set of twelve pieces from the same kiln.

Even the Kangxi Five-Colored Twelve Flower God Cups in the collection of the Palace Museum are made up of pieced together cups and are not from the same set.

It can be seen how precious the Five-Colored Twelve Flower God Cup is.

Lin Yuan didn't say much. After all, in the eyes of many people, he was just a newcomer, a rookie who had only been studying antiques for a short time. No one would believe him if he said too much.

And, to be honest, he really couldn't explain it clearly, he just knew that this thing was valuable.

Before noon, Lin Yuan had visited all the antique stalls. In fact, the antique street was not very large, with few stalls and few resources.

Unfortunately, Lin Yuan gained nothing afterwards.

During this period, Lin Yuan sent out 5 cash red envelopes of yuan. Now, his reputation value exceeded , and he was only away from million.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be able to collect a million reputation points today.

At noon, his uncle called him and asked where he was and invited him to have lunch. Lin Yuan had no choice but to tell him that he was at the Antique Street.

Not long after, his uncle came to pick him up on a three-wheeled motorcycle.

"boarding."

When Lin Yuan heard “Please be careful when reversing”, he was really impressed.

"Have you bought it again? Take it easy." Uncle Chen Shiquan reminded when he saw the porcelain bottle in Lin Yuan's hand.

It seems that his nephew has become a little addicted, and he must pour some cold water on him to prevent him from getting too excited. The antique business is very complicated and it is easy to pay the tuition.

Lin Yuan: "I spent the whole morning shopping and only bought these two. I wanted to ask Boss Lei to estimate the price, but his shop was closed."

Chen Shiquan told Lin Yuan that Boss Lei didn't open the shop every day. Sometimes, Boss Lei would go on business trips to other places, so he would probably only open it two or three days a week.

Lin Yuan exclaimed, "What a good fellow."

It's true that an antique shop can only make money for three years if it's closed for three years.

"Let's go to Uncle De's shop!" said Chen Shiquan.

Of all the antique shops, he only trusted Uncle De and Boss Lei's shops. The others were all scams. They didn't care if you were from the same country or not, and they even said they were the ones who were scammed.

Yesterday, Chen Shiquan reminded Lin Yuan that it is better to be careful of compatriots when abroad. Sometimes, they are worse than foreigners, and they can stab you in the back if you are not careful.

Lin Yuan nodded: "That's fine."

They passed by a supermarket and came across a shocking scene.

"What a bunch of trash." Chen Shiquan couldn't help but curse.

That’s right! They encountered a unique American scene—zero-dollar shopping.

A group of black guys are buying goods crazily.

Only in a "free" place like the United States can you openly rob a store. As long as the amount does not exceed $950, it is not considered robbery.

The shop staff were not allowed to stop it.

"Uncle, have you ever bought something for free?" Lin Yuan was curious.

Chen Shiquan: "What are you thinking? That's the welfare of the Black Shiba Inu. If we try to steal it and get caught, we'll definitely be in big trouble. Don't think that way."

He told Lin Yuan that a Chinese person who joined the zero-dollar shopping was arrested not long ago.

Not everyone can make zero-dollar purchases in the U.S. Zero-dollar purchases occur primarily among certain racial and ethnic groups, especially black people.

After some zero-dollar shopping thieves are arrested, the police treat them differently based on their racial background, which reflects the racial conflicts and discrimination problems in the United States.

After hearing this, Lin Yuan thought to himself: Awesome! It seems that as long as they are not in their hometown in Africa, Hei Chai is always the best and has special treatment wherever he goes.

This is the case in the United States and in our country as well. Lin Yuan couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

"That's great! We don't have to work anymore. If we are short of money or supplies, we can just go to the store and grab some." Lin Yuan said.

A daily limit of $900 should be enough as long as you don’t spend too lavishly, right?
I saw that group of black guys finished purchasing the goods and walked away in a swagger.

Black has become a protective color.

In Lin Yuan's live broadcast room, the audience was also discussing and learning a lot.
