Chapter 84 Next Stop Private Auction
Could it be that he has become the so-called sucker again?
No, why is this world like this!?
Is this crooked and evil trick he just figured out going to fail just as it begins?
He began to sort out his thoughts again: "No, didn't you all say it was right? Why are you saying this again?"
"It's a genuine product and I can't make any money? This is totally outrageous. This is the only time in my life I've ever gotten a genuine product on my own."
When he was in Rui City before, he had to rely on some messy means to know something about real jade and jadeite.
Now that he had come to a larger market and discovered a wider variety of goods, he realized even more that he was useless...
There's no way around it. You can't deny being stupid! After all, your IQ is always in use.
I finally came up with this idea, but now I have to tell him that it is genuine, but I won’t make any money.
Zhao Dehai looked at Gu Shengsheng and said, "Miss Gu knows this, so she's only willing to pay 300,000 for it. This is because this jade cup isn't the famous green jade cup with double glass handles that was unearthed. That cup has carved patterns and very delicate decorations on it."
"I have this too!" he asked like an idiot.
Gu Shengsheng was helpless and explained more clearly: "What I mean is, this cup was unearthed from a tomb, but the pattern on it was painted on later by the merchant. Even though the workmanship is exquisite, it is not the original one."
"It's a pity that this is the only thing that's unfortunate."
After hearing this, Qin Ye finally understood.
Then he sat down on the ground helplessly: "It seems that what my grandfather said is right. People like me are not suitable for this job."
Zhao Dehai nodded and said, "That's the truth."
Gu Shengsheng also agreed: "It's indeed not suitable."
"..." Qin Yao instantly felt even sadder. He was just making fun of himself, but he didn't expect that these two would not be polite to him directly and just say that it was not suitable.
What's up?
Can't he just fit in?
Watching him crawling into a dark corner like an earthworm, Zhao Dehai smiled and said, "These kinds of jade artifacts are really hard to master. Some have been made for over a decade, yet their quality is still about the same as yours. These textures and workmanship are actually difficult to identify."
"Just try your best, don't lose heart."
Finally, Qin Yao's mood improved a little. He nodded frantically and said, "I will work hard in the future."
Zhao Dehai smiled and said, "Shall we go shopping together?"
"OK!"
"But a management bureau like yours also comes here to pick up bargains?"
"I come here occasionally, but I'm not here to pick up bargains today. I came here because I heard there's a collector who returned from abroad and has found a lot of good items over the years. He just returned to China to hold a large auction."
"He started his business in Panjiayuan, so he held it here. I'll just take a look around. Would you like to come with me later? You can also learn more about the relationships between the people here."
You know, treasure appraisal also requires connections. A newcomer like Gu Shengsheng has not yet been recognized by the treasure appraisal industry and does not even have an invitation letter.
These big guys are all there one after another. If you go there today, you will probably be able to meet the experts in the treasure appraisal industry.
"Okay." How could Gu Shengsheng miss this opportunity to see cultural relics?
"Yes, remember to turn off your live broadcast when you go in. That's the boss's personal auction. So, many things can't be exposed."
Gu Shengsheng nodded: "I know, I know, I will turn it off immediately when the time comes."
"Shall we go to the market outside now? With a friend like you, I can see new things every day."
Just as Gu Shengsheng was about to take him away, a collector came over and greeted Zhao Dehai, "Teacher Zhao! Why are you here too? Oh my god, it's such a surprise to see you. I'm Pan Bowen, remember? You once taught me how to find bargains."
Zhao Dehai saw that it was inconvenient to talk to Gu Shengsheng. He introduced them: "This is Gu Shengsheng, a newcomer in the treasure appraisal world. This is Pan Bowen, a collector."
Pan Bowen looked at Gu Shengsheng and sighed, "It's not easy for a girl to work in this industry! If you need anything in the future, come to me. With Teacher Zhao's first introduction, there's nothing I won't like. I have money, a lot of money."
Gu Shengsheng nodded and greeted politely.
In China, there are no more than ten people in the top 50 of the Forbes rich list, and Pan Bowen is one of them.
Gu Shengsheng also thought it was okay to make friends. He could even sell him any bargains he found. One more connection, one more path. This was what Zhao Dehai meant by a network of relationships.
When Zhao Dehai saw Pan Bowen coming, he handed the invitation to Gu Shengsheng: "You can go in by yourself later. I can come in even without an invitation."
"Thank you, Uncle Zhao!"
Then Zhao Dehai waved his hand and signaled Gu Shengsheng to go first.
She walked a little further ahead and turned on the live broadcast only after she was alone.
Netizens were furious when they saw the video: "Host, we haven't condemned Qin Yao yet. Why are you leaving?"
"That's right, I really don't want to say anything!"
"Anchor, we don't want this thing anymore. Can you find something better?"
"Yes, don't worry. Come with me and take a look around."
After Gu Shengsheng finished speaking, she continued walking forward and looked at the goods on the stalls.
She had originally planned to just stroll around, but unexpectedly saw a shop owner holding a porcelain bowl and blocking her, "Buy one!"
"Little girl, come and take a look. This is really the real thing. Come and see it, I'll sell it to you at a low price."
"I'll sell it to you for 20,000 yuan. Really, no one is cheaper than me."
Gu Shengsheng smiled and said, "No, thank you."
He continued, "Ten thousand! How about ten thousand!"
“…”
Gu Shengsheng remained silent, and he added, "Five thousand! This isn't just some ordinary street vendor merchandise!"
Gu Shengsheng sighed, looking at his stall which was not even set up yet and was filled with a twin pig feed bag.
He said, "If you want to make money, you should at least put these things in order."
“Everyone knows what the goods are.”
"I don't have a stall. I come here to carry my things with me whenever I want. If the urban management comes, I just run. It's convenient."
Gu Shengsheng said, "Then let me see how your goods are."
She stopped and thought it was quite interesting.
The boss continued to complain: "What's wrong with this market? The prices are all messed up. No matter what price I ask, no one buys. I brought so many things out, but no one wants to buy anything from me. What kind of people are they?"
"I don't look like a bad person. I haven't had anything to eat for a month since I came here. I can't even survive by eating steamed buns."
When Gu Shengsheng saw his things spread out, she was stunned.
This...how does it all feel real?!
