Chapter 228 The antique business is a deep and complex place.



The system changed the rules, and he set his sights on these two ways to make money.

"Master Gao, I'm quite familiar with Hanyang. How about I show you around?"

Tang Donglin volunteered himself.

"Alright, then I'll leave it to Xiao Tang!"

Gao Yan nodded.

Kang Zicheng, standing to the side, was furious. That bastard was always finding a way to take advantage of any opportunity.

But in the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Master Gao, I'll shamelessly come and be your guide."

"Let's go together then!"

Gao Yan did not refuse either.

"Shameless old bastard!" Tang Donglin cursed inwardly.

Seeing his appearance, Kang Zicheng couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.

At this moment, Kang Zicheng eagerly asked, "Master Gao, Hanyang has three main characteristics: ancient architecture, antiques, and jade gambling. I wonder if you are interested in antiques?"

"I'm still somewhat interested!"

Gao Yandao said.

"What a coincidence! Old Kang, I also know a bit about antiques. Why don't we go to an antique shop and take a look?"

"Can!"

The group left Qinshifang and got into Gao Yan's Bentley Mulsanne.

"Old Kang, are there any places in Hanyang that specialize in finding bargains?" Gao Yan asked.

Kang Zicheng was taken aback, then smiled and explained, "Yes, there are quite a few stalls on Qinhan Street. It's said that many people find bargains there."

"However, these messages are just tricks that the stall owners deliberately spread to attract people. It's almost impossible to find a bargain at their stalls."

"After all, those who can set up stalls there all have some expertise in appraising antiques. Even if they don't know much about them, they'll find someone knowledgeable to appraise them. So, if you want to find a bargain at their stall, well, hehe!"

"So that's how it is!"

Gao Yan suddenly realized.

"Of course, nothing is absolute, and some people do manage to snag a bargain, but the probability of that is extremely small!"

Kang Zicheng added.

The probability is low, but Gao Yan has the Golden Eyes.

As long as there's something real.

He can find it.

"Okay, then let's go to Qinhan Street!"

Kang Zicheng continued, "Actually, the antique business is quite complex, and antique shops are known for not opening for three years, but once they open, they can live off the profits for three years!"

What's the reason?

Gao Yan asked.

Kang Zicheng explained, “Because to sell antiques at high prices, you have to find someone who likes them. For example, I acquired an inkstone worth 1 million yuan. The inkstone is worth 1 million yuan, but if you meet someone who likes inkstones, they would never spend 1 million yuan to buy it. But if they meet someone who likes it, they would be willing to pay 1.2 million yuan, let alone 1 million yuan!”

"Frankly speaking, the antique business is just a game of musical chairs; it's all hype."

"Our Great Xia Dynasty has gone through so many dynasties, and there are so many antiques left behind. Apart from those rare treasures, the rest of the things are really not that valuable!"

"Besides, antique collectors all have their own circles. Don't be fooled by how much some items have fetched at auction; it's all about mutual price gouging. If you actually believe that and buy them at a high price, you'll just become someone else's sucker. If you really want to invest in antiques, you might as well invest in real estate. After all, even if you don't live in a house, you can rent it out. What's the use of buying antiques other than for your own appreciation?"

After hearing what Kang Zicheng said, he vaguely felt that making money by finding bargain antiques seemed like a dead end.

After all, what they said is right.

Even if you find an antique worth millions, it's useless if you can't find someone to buy it!

However, he still intends to give it a try.

What if the system determines the value of the antique?
