Chapter 45

In addition to financial reasons, there are also reasons for the lack of vision, afraid to buy fake goods, do not think the price is clearly marked, the boss sincerely introduces the age and story of antiques as true.

When you visit the antique market, who doesn't want to buy the real one? In fact, the risk of counterfeiting is higher. It is because too many people think that what they buy overseas is genuine, that foreigners are more honest than Chinese people and that foreigners will not cheat. It is precisely because so many people have such understanding that there is a huge profit margin for counterfeits.

Arthur had heard from some old people in his previous life. At the end of the last century and the beginning of this century, a town found that foreigners were easy to cheat. The antique porcelain produced by a town was very easy to sell overseas, and it was dozens of times more expensive than that in China. Therefore, "smart" people in a certain town went abroad to sell local antique porcelain in batches. For a time, because there were too many people applying for going abroad, they signed overseas There was a long line all night long...

Therefore, in the purchase of porcelain, Arthur is extremely careful, after all, leakage is not so easy to pick up, no one who opens the door to do business is a fool, there are people with good antiques in hand, who is not willing to go to the auction house to sell their treasures?

Buying fake goods, even if it only costs a few hundred yuan, is also a loss. If you spend a lot of money and buy a fake, it is a big loss and a big cheat!

Don't be fooled by the news about the auction of overseas antiques with sky high prices reported in the news. In front of interests, it is the same in the whole world. In fact, many of them are the deceptive stories of overseas interest groups, such as the old collection of Earl XX, the only two pieces in the world, and so on. In fact, they are all the lies carefully fabricated by the seller to sell the high price. If you believe it, explain it You'll be fooled. If you buy it at a high price, you'll be in the middle of the game.

Tut Tut, how can I forget the aura of my own Earl and family reputation?

Standing in front of a pair of gold-plated cyan glaze vases, Arthur's eyes were burning at the two beautiful vases, and the introduction of the shop owner came from his ear... This is from the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. You can see that the inlay of the bottle mouth and handle is made of copper, completely hand-made, carved and gilded. All these characteristics prove that this vase was custom-made by European aristocrats. I collected these vases from an aristocrat. "

Arthur looked back at the shop owner with a smile, nodded and said, "it's very beautiful. Can you show it to me? "

"Of course, wait a moment --"

when the boss opened the glass cabinet happily and took things, Amelia looked at Arthur curiously and raised her eyebrows slightly. She seemed to ask something, but she was interrupted by Arthur smiling and shaking his head.

"Please see --"

the boss put two vases on the counter, handed Arthur a magnifying glass and said with a smile.

"May I have a look at it?" Arthur asked with a smile.

"Please --"

Arthur grasped the mouth of the bottle with one hand and the body of the bottle with the other hand. Turning the bottle over, he took a look at the bottom of the seal script, which was blue and square. It was right to say that "the reign of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty" was correct.

To tell you the truth, he had seen this kind of vase in his previous life. In a private museum, it was a typical custom-made export porcelain. In the 18th century, it was the period of cultural collision between China and the West. European and American people were very obsessed with China's porcelain, which led to a large number of works of art flowing to Europe In the eyes of Europeans, it can also bring them knowledge, even luck.

The smile on Arthur's face became more and more brilliant. Although he could not determine whether the two vases were true or not, they were exquisite enough and basically well preserved. With a smile, he carefully put down the vase in his hand, picked up another one and looked at it carefully. After putting it down, he said to old ban with a smile, "can I have a discount?

"This The owner of the shop frowned slightly. After taking a look at Arthur and Amelia, his eyes finally fell on the upright body. After entering the door, he didn't say a word. He just followed behind them silently. Paul, who has always kept a faint smile on his face, pondered over it. Finally, he said, "9.5% off."

"4750 pounds, OK, have a good time!" Arthur, smiling without hesitation, reached out and shook hands.

After that is to pay money, box, sign the transaction contract.

The original price was 5000 pounds. Finally, two vases were sold at 4750 pounds. As soon as Amelia left the shop, she began to take Arthur's hand and ask, "honey, are you impulsive? In case this is... "

" Oh, don't worry, honey, believe me, I say they are true, even if they are fake, what's more, they don't look like fakes... " Arthur put his hand around the worried Amelia, and said with a smile. When he saw the similar vases in his previous life, the museum's commentator said that there was one such bottle in the Metropolitan Museum of America, but it was a vase with two ears and two handles.

Five thousand pounds, really not expensive, and whether the vases were genuine or fake, when he took them back to Boleyn manor and put them on the cupboard, the fake ones were also true!

The count aristocratic family of hundreds of years has an orderly inheritance and profound foundation. He can say whatever he likes, isn't he?Looking at Amelia, who was still worried, Arthur couldn't help laughing and said, "well, don't think so much. Whether it's true or not, I like this pair of vases very much. It's more important to like than anything, isn't it?"

Hearing what Arthur said, Amelia was no longer entangled. She shook her head and chuckled helplessly. She said in a soft voice, "your reason is so powerful."

"Ha ha, OK, let's go to the flea market over there. To tell the truth, in the flea market, we can really have the fun of Taobao." Arthur had a good laugh, said Amelia, who was tight in her arms.

"Well."

Southampton's largest flea market was originally a fruit and vegetable market. In the early 1950s, more and more businessmen took a fancy to this geomantic treasure land. Every Saturday, there were as many as 1000 trading stalls. Here, European silverware, ancient Chinese porcelain, antique cameras, jewelry, etc., were all inclusive. It was a veritable paradise for treasure hunters.

In fact, whether it is Britain, the United States, or China, as in any antique market, to the market, it is necessary to test their eyesight. Because, with the development of information, it is more and more difficult to find out whether the treasure is real or not. As a result, it is less and less likely to sell the real treasure as a fake.

Of course, words can't be full. There are always opportunities. For example, now, Arthur walks, stops in front of a stall and squats down...
