We felt such a deep connection when we first met.
"Ding Bei, are you familiar with this area?"
"I know it very well. I'll lead the way wherever you want to go," he said confidently.
Li Mingqing asked, "Is there any place here similar to the antique market in China?"
"Yes, there are, but they are all porcelain or silver coins. The key is that many of them are imitations, and it's easy to get scammed if you can't tell the difference. Another important reason is that most of them are from China, and seeing them makes me gasp."
Ding Bei first explained it to him clearly to avoid a wasted trip.
"This is the place I want to go. This country was founded not many years ago, so I don't expect them to have antiques."
Li Mingqing spoke so bluntly that Ding Bei couldn't help laughing out loud.
It really has no cultural heritage and cannot be compared with China.
There is no comparison at all.
Ding Bei smiled and said, "Fortunately, the foreigners coming and going don't understand, otherwise they would scold us."
"I was polite enough not to call them names. They were just a bunch of barbarians."
If it weren't for these people, those precious porcelains, calligraphy and paintings would not be scattered abroad.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He had to go and look for some hidden gems.
The treasure hunting function of the system cannot only be used in the country, but also abroad.
There is no reason to keep your own things abroad.
Li Mingqing really wanted to go to the Daying Museum and bring back all the collections belonging to China.
There are more than 20,000 cultural relics, ranging from ancient stone tools to Ming and Qing porcelain.
These are all evidence of guilt.
So many babies don’t know when they can go home.
Alas, my strength is still not strong enough.
There is still a long way to go.
The country is getting better step by step, and one day, these looted cultural relics will be returned intact.
Thinking of this, he said, "Ding Bei, let's go to the antique market."
We walked along many avenues and turned several corners before we arrived at the destination.
The treasure hunting system will issue a prompt as soon as you arrive at the first stall.
Li Mingqing looked at the inconspicuous square box in the upper left corner and asked in fluent English:
"Is this for sale?"
The stall owner was a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes.
The man smiled and said, "Sell it, definitely sell it."
Someone actually wants to buy this shabby wooden box! Profitable!
After four or five sentences, the deal was done.
Ding Bei blamed himself, "I don't know how to tell the authenticity. I heard there are a lot of fakes out there. If I buy a fake, I'll lose a lot of money. Just now, when you gave the money to the stall owner, he was grinning from ear to ear. Why do I feel like I've been cheated?"
"I'm a professional. Let's go and continue shopping."
Li Mingqing was strolling happily, as the street was full of antiques.
A large part of it was obtained from China.
Some of them are not valuable, but some are very valuable and have collection value.
He bought a lot of things as he walked from one end of the street to the other.
Ding Bei was stunned, but by the end he was no longer shocked.
He sighed, "He's really rich."
Just buy it without blinking an eye.
At first he thought Li Mingqing was just here to take a look, but he didn't expect him to be so decisive in buying so many things.
Looking at Li Mingqing's decisive look, he seems to be an expert in appraising treasures.
The last stall.
Li Mingqing fell in love with a bronze artifact with green rust at first sight.
The stall owner said, "This is my most valuable treasure. My grandfather brought it back from the East."
"Your grandfather?"
"Yes, my grandfather was a soldier at that time."
Hearing this, Li Mingqing almost rolled his eyes to the sky.
No matter what, he must get this bronze artifact today.
"You might not know this, but it's not precious. It's just like iron. Iron will rust over time, so you might as well sell it before it breaks."
Li Mingqing lied.
Ding Bei immediately understood what he meant and continued, "Yes, it's not as good as the porcelain in the stall next door. Porcelain can be preserved for a long time, but this rusty one will turn into slag in two years."
The stall owner asked doubtfully, "Really?"
"Of course it's real, but he likes to collect rusty items. He wants to sell them now while they're still intact, otherwise they'll be destroyed by the elements and nothing will be left."
Ding Bei thought seriously from the other person's perspective.
“That makes sense, but it was passed down from my grandfather after all,” the stall owner said with difficulty.
Li Mingqing said, "It's because it was passed down from your grandfather that you should sell it to me. No one has ever taken a liking to this bronze artifact, only I have. Perhaps it was your grandfather's guidance. You've been here for so long, and no one has resonated with it. Your grandfather must have hoped that this bronze artifact would find someone who truly understands it."
The stall owner's eyes were filled with tears when he said this.
The stall owner held up the bronze ware and said, "Okay, I'll sell it to you."
Pay the money and get the goods.
Li Mingqing breathed a sigh of relief only after he held the bronze ware in his hand.
I thought it would take a long time to get the ink.
Unexpectedly, he held the bronze artifact in his hands in half an hour.
After leaving, he whispered, "Ding Bei, you have great potential. You fooled that foreigner so much that he was stunned."
"I'm not kidding, I'm telling the truth. Foreigners don't know how to preserve them, and they'll be nothing but rubbish in two years. You've really splashed out on these eight. I'm really afraid I'll get a fake and lose all my money."
Li Mingqing smiled and said, "It's okay. We'll take it back home and test it to see if it's real."
"But seeing how confident you are, it must be true."
Although Ding Bei had only known him for two hours, he felt that Li Mingqing had this ability.
Otherwise, why would a busy man like him spend money like water?
