    Hearing this, Qiao Qingtai chuckled and said: "Lao Zhu, your stuff is really good, but after all, it's the old man's ninetieth birthday. It's hard to guarantee that some people will want to use this platform to fight for treasures. I think if you see something more suitable, you'd better change it."  Let¡¯s go!¡± Zhu Dafu smiled and said: ¡°What kind of treasure are you fighting for? There was a treasure fight last time when the old man celebrated his 80th birthday. It turned out that the painting by Tang Bohu that was given was a fake and he was embarrassed in front of his colleagues.  I was almost embarrassed to see anyone after I returned. Later, the old man said that it was okay to give gifts in the future, but not to fight for treasures. " "Is there such a thing?" Qiao Qingtai was a little surprised when he heard this, and then asked quickly: "Lao Zhu, at that time.  Who punched him in the eye?" Zhu Dafu smiled and looked at him and said, "Do you think I will say anything about this?" Qiao Qingtai smiled. He also knew that it was a bit taboo to ask, so he didn't ask more.  "No matter what, I have to find a special gift. Otherwise, if it is too ordinary, I will lose my status even if I don't fight for treasures!" Zhu Dafu said: "Old Qiao, don't be so deliberate.  We are all very old, so why are we still competing for victory? Just buy something that represents your feelings and give it to him. " Qiao Qingtai said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't get into trouble"  Next, the three of them picked out their favorite items at each stall.  To be precise, Chaotian Palace Market is mainly focused on miscellaneous items. Therefore, among the three people searching for treasure here, Qiao Qingtai is the most happy.  " Qiao Qingtai usually seems a little impatient when talking and doing things, but when it comes to dealing with antiques, he is very patient and careful. In fact, this is normal. If he was as impatient as usual when dealing with antiques, then he would not have his current status.  The three of them picked and browsed more than a dozen stalls, but found that they were all ordinary gadgets, which made Qiao Qingtai somewhat disappointed.  Zhu Dafu put down a bamboo-carved pen holder.  He stood up and said, "How about we go to my friend's store first?" "Okay" Qiao Qingtai nodded and agreed. Buying things at the stalls is cheap, but the probability of finding good things depends on it.  , much lower than in the store. Now is not the time to save money for him.  So.  Zhu Dafu led the two of them towards his friend's shop.  Zhu Dafu¡¯s friend is called Meng Yixian. He is not young and is over 50 years old. He mainly likes to collect purple clay pots, but also the objects in his shop.  It also mainly sells miscellaneous items.  Among the many shops in Chaotian Palace, the location of Meng Yixian's shop is relatively poor, but there are not many shops here, only about thirty in total, so even if the location of the shop is not good.  But it is not easy to rent a shop here.  As soon as the three of them walked to the middle of the market, they saw a crowd of people gathered in front of them from a distance. They became curious and wanted to go over and see what happened.  There was a crowd surrounding a stall. When the three of them looked up, Zhu Dafu was a little surprised that the person standing in the middle was the friend he was looking for, Meng Yixian.     at this time.  Meng Yixian was holding a purple clay pot and was haggling with the stall owner. The stall owner wanted four thousand yuan, but he refused to let go.  Because the three of them were far away, they didn¡¯t know how much the pot was worth, but the onlookers were chatting and laughing.  This formation looks as if the purple clay pot is a good thing.  When Chu Chen saw this scene, he secretly thought that something was wrong. He didn't know that the person inside was Zhu Dafu's friend, but he knew it.  Like the current situation, if the person inside really likes the purple clay pot in his hand, 80% of the time he will agree to the stall owner's price.  It should be said that Meng Yixian is also an old man in the antiques industry. He also knows that he can't be impatient now, but just like Chu Chen thought, sometimes people are affected by the surrounding environment.  Just like now, due to the influence of the environment, he became less calm and couldn't figure out whether the pot was worth buying. In addition, he saw a bunch of people making noises around him, thinking that he was getting a bargain and was afraid of being robbed.  , so I was reluctant to let go after grabbing the pot.  However, the more this happened, the higher people's interest became. No one left, wanting to see what the ending would be like. Some players were also affected by this atmosphere and felt that the purple clay pot was a good thing and wanted to wait.  If Meng Yi doesn't buy it first, they will take advantage.  Obviously, the atmosphere at the scene put more pressure on Meng Yixian. In addition, the stall owner was also an old man and knew the market price of his own goods, so it became more difficult to bargain.  At this time, Meng Yixian wanted to find a friend to ask. He looked around and happened to find Zhu Dafu and others standing outside, and quickly asked Zhu Dafu for help. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??It is difficult to deal with this kind of thing in the antique market, because the antique industry is most taboo about openly destroying other people's business. Even if the goods sold are fakes, it is easy to cause disputes if they are pointed out clearly.  But then again, since his friend was begging for help, Zhu Dafu certainly had to help him, so he asked for a purple clay pot from Meng Yixian and looked at it carefully.  This is a jinglan purple clay pot. This kind of pot is one of the eighteen types of pots designed by Chen Mansheng, a famous purple clay pot master in the Qing Dynasty. Of course, this purple clay pot was not made by Chen Mansheng himself, otherwise Meng Yixian would not be like this  Tangled.  However, this pot is also remarkable. It has a grand and steady shape. The pot body is engraved with the inscription "The well is extremely deep, the bottle is extremely small, and the style of drinking is for common people. It is always good."  , iron pens and silver hooks, scattered and orderly, with the potential to penetrate into the wood.  Judging from the shape and craftsmanship, it should have been made in the late Qing Dynasty.  But considering the current market conditions, such a purple clay teapot is definitely not worth 4,000 yuan. Zhu Dafu estimated that it is only worth about 3,000 yuan at most.  "How are things?" Meng Yi asked first.  "There's nothing wrong with the stuff, it's just that the price is a bit expensive." Although Zhu Dafu doesn't make a living here, he still has to abide by the rules of the antique shop. For this reason, he can be considered as doing his best.  But Meng Yi didn¡¯t know whether he only heard the first half of the sentence or was confused for a moment, so he bought the things at the price offered by the stall owner.  Seeing this situation, Zhu Dafu could only smile bitterly to himself, but there was nothing he could do.  Besides, Meng Yixian just spent an extra thousand. As long as you buy the right antiques, the appreciation in value will make up for it over time.  However, there is a limit to spending more money. If you spend a lot of money to buy it, it would be inappropriate.  Meng Yixian was very happy after buying something. He quickly brought the three people to his shop, opened the door with the key, and then invited the three people to sit down inside, and quickly made everyone a cup of tea.  Everyone sat down and Zhu Dafu first introduced both parties.  Qiao Qingtai is well-known in the antiques industry, and Meng Yixian has also heard of it. As for Chu Chen, Meng Yixian, like Qiao Qingtai, has seen it on TV, so after Zhu Dafu introduced him, Meng Yixian immediately showed his affection towards the two of them.  Quite enthusiastic.  Zhu Dafu took a sip of tea, and then asked somewhat: "Speaking of Xiao Meng, why did you ask me to help you look at the goods just now? You must not have known me among those people just now, right?" Logically speaking, Meng Yi was here first.  There is a shop open in the market, and he must have a lot of friends, but he just came to him directly. This is what made Zhu Dafu curious.  Meng Yixian smiled bitterly and said: "There was indeed someone I knew there just now, but they were just ordinary friends. But the most important thing is that the stall owner and I had some entanglements before. If it weren't for that pot that particularly attracted me, I definitely wouldn't have done it.  I will go buy his things.¡± After hearing this, everyone finally understood what was going on. You know, Meng Yixian¡¯s friends must also be hanging out in this antique market.  The stall owner is doing business and if he is involved in this kind of thing, the stall owner may also have a problem with Meng Yixian's friends.  Zhu Dafu smiled and said: "Xiao Meng, you are a bit unkind. Our antique business is not big, but what if I need his help in the future?" Although one is in the capital and the other is in Jinling, but  High-end antiques are limited, so what Zhu Dafu said is possible.  Meng Yixian quickly said with a smile on his face: "Lao Zhu, I'm really sorry for this matter today. If you have any requests, just ask me. I will help you if I can." Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "We will talk about this later. I will do it now.  I'm a little curious, how did you settle a grudge with a street vendor? Could it be that someone stole the other person's business in the first place?" Meng Yixian sighed and said, "Hey, come to think of it, you still have to blame me for this" Meng Yixian  I used to be a teacher. Because I love history, I usually like to collect some ancient things. It's just a hobby.  In the early 1980s, his relatives who lived in Xiangjiang came back to visit relatives. When they saw his collection of gadgets, they immediately became interested and spent money to buy them.  Although the relatives only gave me three hundred, at that time, this amount of money was already a huge sum of money.  Meng Yi first saw how profitable antiques were, so he entered the industry relying on his professional knowledge.  Later, as he learned more about antiques, he realized that the things he sold to his relatives were worth at least 100,000 yuan, and they were still rice dollars.  This made him heartbroken and determined to make a name for himself in this industry.  If you want to achieve success in the antiques industry, one of the most important conditions is that you have to have the goods. Where does the goods come from?  At that time, MengAt first, apart from going to the countryside to receive the goods myself, I also only thought about buying goods from the hands of those shovels.  ??When Meng Yixian was in business, he was quite generous. As long as the items were right and the price was right, sometimes he would buy the items directly without haggling. Therefore, he was usually loved by those shovels.  Like the stall owner just now, he was a senior shovel. Of course, he had just entered the industry at that time and was still a newcomer. He was also one of the shovels who liked to do business with Meng Yixian.
