    Zhou Cheng followed Zhang Zhihong and did not interfere with Zhang Zhihong's selection.

    Of course, to Zhou Cheng or most of the experts here, when Zhang Zhihong and Zhou Cheng came in, they had already seen that they were laymen.  Especially for Zhang Zhihong, in the antique circle, an industry known for its discernment, they can tell at a glance that Zhang Zhihong is an official. Some people may or may not be able to tell whether the official is high or low.

    But Zhang Zhihong is obviously a layman, but there are also laymen who love antiques or want to collect antiques, but Zhang Zhihong's appearance is obviously not that.  The way he looks now is like going to the supermarket to choose products, based only on personal preference.  Of course, that's all I can say.

    Baibaozhai is the industry leader in Nanming¡¯s antique industry, and it comes into contact with all kinds of people every day.  Which ones are for collecting antiques, which ones are for speculating on antiques, and which ones are for giving gifts.  Not to mention the shopkeeper of Baibaozhai, even the waiters here can tell it at a glance.

    So, when Zhang Zhihong was almost "dazzled" and didn't know what antique to choose, the clerk stood up at the right time and whispered a few words to Zhang Zhihong. Zhang Zhihong was immediately overjoyed and followed the clerk in happily.  Experts will naturally know that this is the man who took Zhang Zhihong to select antiques.  Of course, it is indeed an antique, not a fake, but whether it is precious and worth the price varies from person to person.

    If an official wants to give a gift, the recipient must have some knowledge of antiques.  Therefore, Baibaozhai will not deceive others in this regard. After all, thieves also have their ways.  But don't expect Baibaozhai to come up with good things. Of course, unless your starting price is worthy of being taken advantage of, Baibaozhai may also come up with high-quality products to sell to you.  But most of the time, they just randomly "package" some ordinary antiques for sale.

    After Zhou Cheng entered Baibaozhai, all kinds of information kept popping up in his mind.  Of course, not all the information was available, but Zhou Cheng discovered that he could name most of the treasures in Baibaozhai, and he also knew which ones were valuable and which ones were not.  Of course, if Zhou Cheng was asked to specify what kind of antique it was, what era it was made from, what material it was made of, and how it was made, Zhou Cheng would not know.

    Of course, this is not the most important thing, because he found that his most important discovery about these things is that he can clearly feel whether something is valuable.  And after comparing and verifying the other party's price one by one, he proved his conjecture.

    Having such an ability, Zhou Cheng thought about it for a long time, and finally attributed it to a group of "grave robbers" he had killed, especially the "Looking at the Air and the Earth" provided by the tomb robber king Guiqi.  A book on tomb robbing that is definitely not popular. According to the introduction on the title page of the book, this book was passed down from generation to generation by the seventh ancestor of Wang Guai. It is also the experience of the Wang family in robbing tombs.

    With Zhou Cheng¡¯s previous revisions, Zhou Cheng¡¯s understanding of ¡°Looking at the Qi and Observing the Earth¡± is naturally pretty good.  But if Zhou Cheng is asked to rob a tomb, Zhou Cheng naturally has no intention of doing so.  Now in this antique shop, Zhou Cheng can clearly distinguish which items are of high value and which items are not.  He couldn't understand it at first, but after thinking about it, he thought it might be an incidental effect of "Wang Qi Guan Tu". After all, a little tomb robber like Wang Guiqi could not have profound knowledge.  But generations of tomb robbers also allow them to distinguish what is valuable and what is not.

    At this moment, Zhang Zhihong suddenly shouted Zhou Cheng's name.  Zhou Cheng immediately rushed to the inner hall and saw that in this small compartment, there were several shelves of antiques, including porcelain, calligraphy and painting, jade, etc.  Of course, Zhou Cheng glanced at it casually and found that most of the things inside were worthless.  For example, the pen holder that Zhang Zhihong is holding in his hand looks extremely exquisite, with good enamel and good quality. Especially the words "Made in the Qianlong Period of the Qing Dynasty" seem to show how extraordinary this thing is.

    Of course, to a layman, it looks very bluffing, and the price tag of 388,800 seems quite reasonable.  Zhang Zhihong, in particular, couldn't put it down for this pen holder. He kept stroking it, wanting it, but worrying about nothing.

    Three hundred and eighty-eight thousand is a very high price. If Zhang Zhihong can get it, it will undoubtedly confirm the fact that he is extremely greedy.  But in fact, he didn't have that much money at all. Although he liked this thing, he knew that even if he spent some money on this bottle, he still couldn't afford it.

    Seeing Zhang Zhihong put down the pen holder reluctantly, he couldn't bear to think about the pen holder, and turned to ask Zhou Cheng: "Xiao Zhou, what do you think is better to buy? It's not too expensive, and it's pretty good."

    In fact, Zhou Cheng just scanned around and found that the things in here are all nonsense, and some of the prices are quite high, but in Zhou Cheng's opinion, they are not as valuable as the ones with lower prices outside.

    For example, this pen holder is priced at 388,000 yuan.  There are others outsideA pen holder, the enamel is not as beautiful as this one, the size is about the same, and the price of that one is 188,000.  But in Zhou Cheng's opinion, this pen holder is far inferior to the pen holder outside.

    "The pen holder you were holding just now is not bad. It's very beautiful and makes people like it." Zhou Cheng said to Zhang Zhihong with a smile.

    "I think so too, but you see, it's too expensive. I can't afford it at all, and even if I could afford it, I probably wouldn't be able to give it away." Zhang Zhihong sighed and said, if he really gave away such an expensive thing  In the past, there was no need to think about it. In the big man's heart, he had already been sentenced to death.

    Zhou Cheng did not answer Zhang Zhihong's words, but turned to the waiter over there and said, "Just the pen holder just now, do you want to sell it for 18,000?"

    As soon as he finished speaking, not only the clerk, but also Zhang Zhihong was shocked.  Is this possible? The price tag is 388,000 yuan. If you haggle the price, you can cut it down to 370,000 yuan.  Could this be a fake?

    After hearing Zhou Cheng¡¯s words, the clerk¡¯s face was full of disdain, even though he knew that the prices of the things here did not match the actual values.  But it definitely won¡¯t be that much different.  For example, this pen holder, if you meet Kaizi, the original price is 388,000. If you know how to do it, or a "friend", you can get it for more than 200,000.  But I didn¡¯t hear that 18,000 people wanted to take it away.

    "Sir, are you kidding me?" The clerk looked at Zhou Cheng with a half-smile. He only thought that this guy was Zhang Zhihong's secretary, and he was just messing around to show off his ignorance in front of the leader.

    "Do you think I'm joking? If you can't make the decision, why don't you call your shopkeeper? Even if you rip people off, it's not like this!" Zhou Cheng said loudly, and Zhang Zhihong and the waiter clapped after hearing Zhou Cheng's words.  , a thought could not help but arise in my heart, maybe he really knows what he is doing.

    Zhang Zhihong saw that the clerk was stunned by Zhou Cheng, and thought that Zhou Cheng had indeed grasped his sore spot.  But the guy knew that this stuff was too watery, and he was just thinking about calling someone.  But considering the identity of their shopkeeper, and the fact that these items are all priced by the shopkeeper, there is no intention of changing them.

    "Sir, what you are saying is unprofessional. Looking at the entire Nanming antique world, who doesn't know that our Mr. Rongzhen is the leader of the Nanming antiques world, and these antiques are all set by Mr. Rongzhen himself. Since he has set the price at thirty-eight  Wanba, then this pen holder must be worth this price?" The clerk looked provocative, saying that if you like it, buy it or not, and if you don't, go away. If you dare to come here to find trouble, what does it matter if you are an official?

    "Oh? You mean that the price set by you, Mr. Rongzi, is the market price of this antique?" Zhou Cheng looked at the guy in amusement.

    The clerk nodded affirmatively and said: "When it comes to appreciating antiques, our Mr. Rongzhen claims to be second and no one dares to claim to be first. Since he has priced it so much, it is worth the price."

    "I see, there is still such a saying!" Zhou Cheng said, walking to a big box in the corner and rummaging around. After a while, Zhou Cheng pulled out a yellowed scroll and blew away the dust on it.  Then he said to the waiter: "How much does this calligraphy cost?"

    The clerk didn¡¯t understand what Zhou Cheng meant. He naturally knew what was in the box. They were all imitations, and the imitations were not very good.  The reason why they are piled there is because there is no place to put them at the moment, so they are piled there.

    The clerk came over, took Zhou Cheng¡¯s scroll, and opened it to see that the scroll was well preserved, but it was a replica.  Such things have a uniform price in the store. The clerk threw the scroll to Zhou Cheng and said: "The minimum price is five thousand, no bargaining!"

    Zhou Cheng knew that there was some truth in his words.  But he didn't intend to argue with this guy.  The reason why he found this scroll was because he felt that there was a treasure in the box. However, the box had been left here for so long without being covered, and it was covered with dust. He thought that this thing was not taken seriously here, so it must not be valuable.

    "Okay, just five thousand!" After saying that, Zhou Cheng threw his bank card to him and said, "Remember to write the ticket!"

    The clerk took Zhou Cheng¡¯s card and went out to go through the formalities, but Zhang Zhihong was really confused as to which show Zhou Cheng was acting in.  Seeing that the guy was gone, Zhang Zhihong came over and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Zhou, what are you doing?"

    "Brother Zhang, don't worry. I'm free to use discretion. You can just watch the show here. And I promise that I will help you get the pen holder at the lowest price in the end." Zhou Cheng deliberately sold it out, but it was not  He deliberately wanted to whet Zhang Zhihong's appetite.

    After a while, the guy came over with the receipt, and the delivery procedures were completed, which also meant that the future owner of this scroll would be Zhou Cheng.

    The man is waiting for Zhou Cheng¡¯s next step. He knows that this young man will definitely have to struggle. He is waiting. Since you want to struggle, I will accompany you.

    Sure enough, after Zhou Cheng checked that the bill was OK, he took out the scroll again and said to the guy: "??Man, it's sold, please give me an estimate of the price, Mr. Rongzhen!  "
