Qian Yaosi is indeed the owner of this antique shop, and he is also one of the elders of the Confucius Temple Antique City. He also has a family background. Before liberation, his father used to be a professor of history at Peking University. He was accustomed to the behavior of the authorities and published some remarks in newspapers. He was hated by the authorities, so he resigned from Peking University and returned to his hometown of Nanjing to open an antique shop.
When this old man was in the capital, he often visited Liulichang and other antique markets. A lot of things came out of the palace in those years. Even the man who was imprisoned in the Forbidden City at that time was dumping objects out, which really made him receive a lot. Good stuff, coupled with his profound knowledge, he can quote scriptures for every antique and tell the origin of its inheritance. Before liberation, he was also one of the more famous collectors and appraisers in China.
After returning to Nanjing, I usually helped people write or appraise antique calligraphy and paintings, and lived a happy life. The Qinhuai River in Confucius Temple was the place where the old man often hung out. However, he fled Nanjing during the war and did not visit Nanjing until the 1940s. Returning to Nanjing, now Qian Yaosi was influenced by his father after he was born and developed a strong interest in the antiques industry.
In the chaotic ten years after liberation, Qian Yaosi's father changed from an intellectual to a smelly old man. He passed away after many hardships. All the antiques, calligraphy and paintings in the family were confiscated. By the 1970s, In the end, Mr. Qian was rehabilitated, and Qian Yaosi began to run to the relevant departments again and again to recover some of the things that had been confiscated from his home. However, some of the calligraphy and paintings were burned and could not be restored, which made Qian Yaosi feel distressed. Incessantly.
In the early 1980s, when most people in China were still eating from one big pot, Qian Yaosi, who had just turned 40, resigned from the job arranged to take care of him, and took several thousand yuan in compensation from the state to work as a He became a self-employed person, and he was the most looked down upon self-employed person: a rag collector, Qian Yaosi rode a shabby tricycle all day long, wandering around the streets and alleys of Nanjing, and only collected old calligraphy, paintings, newspapers, and some broken ceramic jars. Things like that were called money madness by some neighbors at the time.
After the 1990s, Qian Yaosi turned around and became a landlord. At that time, the policy was relaxed. Qian Yaosi found his father's old house in Hong Kong and took several antiques that were not subject to export cultural relics restrictions to Hong Kong. It was sold at auction, and its worth was immediately worth a hundred times. Later, several antique shops were opened in Chaotian Palace and Confucius Temple, and the business grew bigger and bigger. In the domestic collection circle, they are all famous collectors.
Since he is dealing in antiques, it is of course impossible to just get in and out, but Qian Yaosi has extremely poisonous eyes and has a wide range of interests. From calligraphy and painting to ceramics to bronzes, as long as they are real objects, they are rarely seen. When your eyes are wrong, there will be more opportunities to make mistakes.
But Qian Yaosi can buy things cheaply. If others want him to sell things cheaply, there is no way. There is no need to think about it. The objects flowing out of his hands are all old objects and are true, but the price , often compared to the price he paid at the auction house, it was not much better. After a long time, others gave him a nickname: "Death for money."
Doing business is all about maximizing profits. Qian is not angry at receiving this nickname, and is a bit complacent.
This nickname is somewhat similar to his name pronounced backwards, but Qian Yaosi was indeed wronged. He was given this name because his mother's surname was Yao, and Mr. Qian and his first wife were very affectionate. In Qian Yaosi's case, After his mother passed away, he changed his name to Qian Yaosi's current name. It was originally "Si" which means "missing", but after thinking about it, it was a bit inelegant for a man to have this name, so in the end it became "Si" which means "Sven".
In the past few years, Qian Yaosi rarely ran out because of his age. He wandered back and forth in two antique stores when he had nothing to do. However, he only drank tea and chatted with old friends, and would not go there in person. He had to take care of these miscellaneous matters. Originally, he was not in the store at this hour, but today an old friend whom he hadn¡¯t seen for several years called and said that there was an object that he couldn¡¯t find right and he wanted to see him. Just waiting in the store.
If you want to work in the antique business, you won't be able to do it without a good eye. This eye not only sees things, but also people. Qian Yaosi has been in this business all his life. Needless to say, this A quick glance at the room full of guests revealed that they were all ordinary tourists. Without any expert, these people would not pay a lot of money to buy something they were not sure of.
When Zhuang Rui and others came in just now, shopkeeper Qian didn't pay much attention. Although they were all well-dressed, those who can travel these days only have some spare money, so it's not uncommon to wear nice clothes. It was just the two little Tibetan mastiffs that caught Shopkeeper Qian's attention. However, as they were separated by mountains and there were young mastiffs, he was not sure that they were purebred Tibetan mastiffs, so he walked a few steps closer.?Take a good look.
Shopkeeper Qian¡¯s original intention was just to take a look. He was not a pet person. No matter how valuable the Tibetan Mastiff was, it had nothing to do with him. It was just that when he got closer, when Zhuang Rui raised his hand, it happened to be Showing his wrist in front of Qian Yaosi behind him, shopkeeper Qian saw the dzi bead on Zhuang Rui's wrist at a glance. Qian Yaosi couldn't pull it out after seeing it.
The string of Dzi beads on Zhuang Rui's hand is deep red and almost black-brown in color. It is not very eye-catching when worn on the wrist. However, Qian Yaosi knows that the purest Dzi beads made of super natural agate and chalcedony are of this color, and After special processing, the color will be darker.
Shopkeeper Qian himself has a bracelet of Dzi beads, but there are only two old Dzi beads on it, and the rest are matched with other jade stones. How come he saw such a bracelet made entirely of old Dzi beads? Qian Yaosi Naturally, I wanted to see what happened, whether I was mistaken, or whether this young man was wearing genuine Dzi beads.
Dzi beads are the most precious talismans for Tibetans. If you sincerely offer them and wear them, you can eliminate karma, obtain blessings, prevent strokes, and avoid being harmed by heretic evil spirits. It can also enhance physical strength, increase wealth, etc.
The above are all folk sayings. Shopkeeper Qian knows that Dzi beads are taken from the nine-eye stone shale, which is a kind of sedimentary rock. It contains jade and agate. The red magnetic wave is the strongest. It is a rare gem. Dzi beads. The magnetic field is three times that of crystal. Long-term wearing can prevent and treat heart disease, high blood pressure, and other blood-related diseases. It can also prevent and treat neurological diseases such as nightmares, insomnia, headaches, etc.
The purest Dzi beads are also genuine Dzi beads. The price is not calculated based on jewelry, but in terms of money. A genuine old Dzi bead is worth more than 100,000. When people get old, they will cherish their lives and money. Yaosi's heart was not very good and his blood pressure was also high. The two beads that Qian Yaosi had cost him nearly 400,000. At this moment, when he saw the bracelet on Zhuang Rui's hand, it looked very much like an authentic old Dzi bead. He happened to hear Liu Chuan's words It was an unflattering joke, so there was the chatting scene in the previous article.
Zhuang Rui saw the look from the store clerk and was quite in awe of the fat old man. His identity must be true, and he felt a little embarrassed at the moment. Liu Chuan didn't have a good mouth, and the joke was tantamount to criticizing Sang and Huai. Change his temper. If it's not good, a few people might be kicked out.
"Old man, I'm just a beginner, how dare I show my shame in front of you."
Zhuang Rui looked around the antique shop and found that there were various shapes of ceramics and exquisite bronzes on the shelves, and ancient calligraphy and paintings of celebrities hung on the walls. There were also some jades, ancient coins, the Four Treasures of the Study and miscellaneous items on the counter. Many of them he even I can't even call him by name, so I don't dare to comment.
Qian Yaosi had already moved his eyes away from the dzi bead on Zhuang Rui's wrist. He looked at Zhuang Rui with a harmless smile and said, "Young man, as the saying goes: Be arrogant when you are young, be steady when you are old." It can be said on the other hand, everyone has their own reasons), I think you are a match, how about we make a bet?"
Zhuang Rui was stunned for a moment. He was a little confused about what this fat old man was doing. What kind of bet was he making with himself for no reason? Zhuang Rui had always been relatively prudent in his behavior. He rarely did things he was unsure of. He immediately said: "This Old man, I'm just here to hang out and make a bet, Liu Chuan, Xuan Bing, let's go."
Today¡¯s matter is full of evil. Zhuang Rui doesn¡¯t want to stay in this store anymore. Anyway, there are more than dozens of stores on the antique street. There is no place to go. There is no need to stay here with this inexplicable fat old man.
When Qian Yaosi saw that Zhuang Rui was about to leave, he became a little anxious and said quickly: "Young man, don't leave in a hurry. How about you listen to me first? There is an old door opening in my shop. Although it is not very valuable, it is seven 800,000 RMB is still worth it. If you can find it, I will give it to you for free. If you can't find it, I will buy something from you and I hope you can part with it. How about it? Do you dare to talk to my old man? Take a gamble."
Old Dzi beads cannot be bought with money. Qian Yaosi met him today. How could he let it go? Qian Yaosi knew the taboo of wearing Dzi beads and did not touch them, but he already felt it in his heart. It was concluded that this was indeed the purest old Dzi bead. He was afraid that Zhuang Rui would not sell it, so he simply used the provocation method.
As mentioned above, the term "fishing" in the antique shop is specifically used to attract people who are new to the industry. Most of the so-called drowned people can swim. When these people see the store If there are old objects with open doors, they often think that other things are also genuine, but what they buy home are all fakes.
¡°The antique worth seven to eight hundred thousand yuan that Qian Yaosi mentioned was probably used for fishing in the store. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
