Chapter 237： Afraid of marrying the bride 2

That night, Zhou Zekai took a picture of his painting and sent it to Baihuahui's contest mailbox. He received the news that night. After all, this network review is fast. The next step is that Zhou Zekai will personally send his own The painting was sent to the competition party and accepted for selection, and his painting will appear on Baihuahui's official voting website after the next review.

After going out for dinner in the evening, Zhou Zekai took a good night's rest. In the early morning the next day, he organized his painting and sent it to Baihuahui's competition address. He believed that his painting would surely surprise many people. of.

After doing all this, Zhou Zekai checked his balance. After Cheng Qingrou spent all his efforts, Zhou Zekai's house was due to expire in more than five months, and only 50,000 yuan remained on the card.

This has to make Zhou Zekai face one thing, that is, he should not be an artist, but should be a businessman. Only with enough money can he get what he wants.

50,000 yuan, if it is a stock market, it is too small, even if it is profitable, in fact, it will not make much money, so Zhou Zekai took the money and went to see the antiques in Shangyang City. I am afraid that many people are not as good as him.

The antique shop here in Shangyang is very famous, and even formed an antique street, because very old antiques were produced here in the early years. Every year, there are a lot of antiques sold at auction at this auction house. Many like antiques. Business people like to come to Shangyang Taobao, hoping to find something they like in Shangyang.

When I came to this antique street in sportswear, Zhou Zekai was totally out of step with everything around him, and even he didn't write anything on his face. The hawkers around saw Zhou Zekai, and waited for him to pull Zhou Zekai on their stall.

Zhou Zekai was very familiar with such antique streets. He found Taobao on the stall directly. He is best at finding gold in the sand. When he came to a stall, the stall owner greeted him warmly. Zhou Zekai I just glanced a few times and saw that I didn't like what I liked, and went on to the next stall.

After all, finding gold in the sand is also very difficult. Sometimes, you do n’t know if you can find it, but Zhou Zekai chose to try it!

After watching for more than half an hour, Zhou Zekai stopped in front of a small stall and pointed at the opening of the small bottle above.

"How much is it?"

As soon as the stall owner looked at Zhou Zekai, he knew that this was the first time he had come to such a place and hurried to say hello.

"This five thousand can be taken away. It's all good stuff. Look at this texture, brother, it's beautiful!"

Usually like this kind of stall, everyone knows it well. Buying false fate is really lucky. The truth and falseness are not in the topic they discuss at all.

"It's really pretty, but five thousand is too expensive, right? Two thousand."

Zhou Zekai bargained, smiled at the stall owner, and the skinny stall owner looked scared, staring at Zhou Zekai with his eyes widened.

"Brother! Is this bargaining method called bargaining? Is this forcing me to jump off the building? No, no, if you sincerely want it, three thousand, no two price ~"

This thing was recovered by him for a few hundred dollars, but since all the wrongdoers have been made, the stall owner naturally has to make more money, so it's even more like I'm losing money now.

"I'll make two thousand. Boss, you look very clean. I just take it home to play and see the patterns. The rest of us know it well. I buy a toy. You do a business and do Business can't be so axis ~ "

Zhou Zekai didn't add two thousand, which made the skinny boss helpless. He thought that a big cow had come, but the result was still so, so he reached out his hand and made a gesture.

"Two thousand and eight! It can't be less! It took me a lot to collect this thing, and it really can't be less!"

The skinny boss decided that it would have to earn at least 2,000 yuan, otherwise he still planned to keep it. The man in front of him is not without money, and can afford more than 2,000 yuan, right?

Zhou Zekai knew that the routine of the thin boss was to pick up the jade snuff bottle that looked a little humble and set it aside.

"Boss, since you don't give me less, how about this thing as a bonus to me? Two thousand and five, if it can be achieved, I will look at it if it doesn't."

After that, putting the snuff bottle on the jade plate made the skinny boss next to him entangled, but think again that the snuff bottle was obtained from the blind man Lao Wang. It must be fake. I gave it away, two thousand five is not bad ...

"That's OK, I'll give it to you sincerely. If not, I wouldn't sell it to them!"

Talking about picking up things and giving Zhou Zekai a package plate, Zhou Zekai took out the money directly, counted two thousand five and handed it to the stall owner, and the thin stall stall owner quickly licked his fingers and started counting money. Smile.

"Brother, what do you want next time, come to my side ~"

Zhou Zekai nodded with a smile, turned and left, and said that if I let you know that this snuff box is real, I am afraid that I will be mad, will you still welcome?

However, Zhou Zekai did not leave, but he stared at Yuan Datou on a small stall. The appearance of Yuan Datou was an eight-year-old big-mouthed shell, which is very precious in the collection series. It is said that it was still a few years ago Someone spent two million dollars to collect this thing, and Zhou Zekai, after passing, picked up Yuan Yuan's head, blow it, put it in his ear, the heart has already determined the authenticity of this thing.

The period of staying in the Republic of China was not fake. After a bargain, 500 yuan was obtained, which made Zhou Zekai think that if he had no money, he could come and find out.

The last item was Tang Bohu's paintings that Zhou Zekai found on a calligraphy and painting stand. Although they were not genuine, they were also imitations of the Qing Dynasty. Zhou Zekai planned to take them home and admire them.

After everything was in hand, Zhou Zekai looked for a shop that looked very imposing, and walked in, planning to sell his snuff bottle.

The waiter inside knew that Zhou Zekai wanted to appraise his own things, and immediately came to the master of antique appraisal. This master was of course charged, but for Zhou Zekai, there was no pressure at all.

After the appraisal master came over, Zhou Zekai gave the snuff bottle to the other party. He knew that although the snuff bottle didn't look very good, it came from the Ming Dynasty, and the historical price was extraordinary.

For example, the snuff bottles that are circulating in the market today are generally from the Qing Dynasty. There are more smokers in the Qing Dynasty. Snuff bottles naturally have all kinds of exquisiteness, but if you say the history of the real snuff bottles, it really needs to be clear. The Chao Dynasty investigated, and the snuff box was still there. After the Qing Dynasty, the process of making snuff bottles gradually came up. Like the late Qing Dynasty, the jadeite or precious jade was generally used, but in the early days, most of them used agate amber. The pattern above will not be as complicated as in the late Qing Dynasty.

For example, the snuff bottle of the appraisal master, the overall color is earthy yellow, and the shape of a woman is only traced with thin black lines on the top. It does not seem to have much beauty, and its side is also changed by bumps. Not so good.

Looking at this snuff bottle carefully with a magnifying glass, the appraisal master also needs to carefully confirm the authenticity of these things. At this time, the waiter led another old man and came over. The old man saw the snuff bottle in the appraisal master's hand. However, he also understands that others are appraising, and he is so restless that he sits down here. He loves to see people appraise this thing.

Then the appraisal master looked at it for a long time and could not identify the value of this thing, so he could only put it down and look at Zhou Zekai.

"This gentleman, I forgive my husband's poor academic skills, I really can't see the age of this snuff bottle."

The meaning of this statement is to euphemistically tell you that this thing is fake and has no value.

In this industry, many times, I really wo n’t tell you that it is true, and a fake one wo n’t directly tell you that it ’s fake. It ’s just that someone said it. It ’s one thing to see if you listen.

Only this time, before Zhou Zekai had spoken, the old man on the side spoke.

"Lao Chen, come here. Let me take a look first. I think it's okay."

As soon as the old man spoke, Master Chen, the appraised master, looked at Zhou Zekai. After obtaining Zhou Zekai's consent, he gave the snuff bottle to the old man. After the old man studied it for a long time, he said holding the snuff bottle.

"Haha, Lao Chen, but this time you looked away! You look at the cracks in this agate, as well as the picture of the lady above. These are all crafts of the Ming Dynasty. Our circles all indicate that the generation is not a good snuff bottle. There is only a snuff box, but in fact, there is a snuff box in the Ming Dynasty, but it is not as good as the Qing Dynasty. I think this little thing is worth 70,000 ~ 80,000 ~ "

Direct appraisal, then Lao Chen hurriedly brought things back for a look, this time also laughed.

"Old and old, not as good as you, old Yan, doesn't Old Zheng like to collect this stuff? He knows best."

After speaking, this gave Zhou Zekai the things in his hand.

"You guys, you heard the words of Lao Yan. This thing is so valuable. If you want to sell it, I just have a boss who likes to collect snuff bottles. You can contact me."

After sending out a business card, Zhou Zekai nodded after receiving it.

"Thank you, Chen."

After speaking, he looked at the old man in a black Tang suit and took out Yuan Yuan's head in his pocket and passed it.

"I don't know if Mr. Yan can help me look at Yuan Yuan's head?"

This is Zhou Zekai's goal here-Yan Yusen, the grandfather of the Yan family.

His current wisher Cheng Shiyu has married Yan Yusen's grandson Yan Jingjia for his sister Cheng Qingrou. The Yan family is considered an antique family, not to mention those antiques collected in the early days. The family also opened an auction house, as well as a jade shop and jewelry company, which are rooted In this industry, after his wisher got married to Yan's family, only this old man was kind to her. The other Yan families looked down on her, and Zhou Zekai looked forward to it when he saw Cheng Qingrou at Yan's family. , How will the other party perform.

After all, the Yan family doesn't know yet that their son's daughter-in-law is actually not Cheng Qingrou at all! !! !!
