The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Stayed here for two days.

It's similar everywhere else.

They are all busy harvesting crops.

A man wearing a monk's robe came to the town.

Runtu could tell at a glance that he was a liar.

But the people in the town believed in him and called him a god.

He does have some skills.

He took a wooden basin, filled it with water, placed it under an Eight Immortals table, and muttered something to the Eight Immortals table. A few seconds later, a fish with legs appeared in the wooden basin. Before anyone could scream, another fish appeared in the wooden basin. There is one more fish with legs.Everyone present immediately believed that he had magical powers.

The common people are easier to fool, especially the common people in this period.

Maybe it’s just harvest time.

After converting food into money, the food in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is still acceptable.

With more money comes scammers.

The interesting part is not only the ability to grow fish in the wooden basin, but also the ability to escape from the iron chain wooden box.

There is also a set of magical techniques that can bring people back to life.In front of the people, he cut off the head of a rooster, and then put the fallen head back on the rooster's neck. In the blink of an eye, the rooster, which had just died, was able to run down to the ground.

These tricks made the people believe them to be true.

For a while, Runtu didn't see any reason.

Even if there is no reason, he will just send the person away.

If you cheat in your own territory, it's okay if you don't kill him.

Returned to Jiashan.

It's more friendly here.

There are many properties that belong to the public sector.

Runtu likes antiques.

There are many antique shops in Jiashan.

All the good things collected will be sent to him.

"My lord, I'm sorry, I was deceived."

The shopkeeper was very scared. He had been deceived, and he had been deceived a lot.

I couldn't hide this matter anymore, and when I saw Runtu coming, I thought he was here to raise an army to investigate.

There is such a group of people. One of them pretends to be a down-and-out young man from an aristocratic family, rents a very decent house somewhere in Jiashan with some helpers, and then often pretends to be a playboy and goes to restaurants and tea shops.Then after everyone in the city knew about his status, he suddenly got inside information and said that he didn't have much money and wanted to do business elsewhere, so he wanted to mortgage an antique at home. Come and exchange money.

When an antique shop that knew his name wanted to pick up the missing piece, he took out a bronze worth about 3 taels, and then the lion opened his mouth and refused to sell it until [-] taels.

The people in the antique store saw that although the items were good, the premium was too high, so they didn’t want to accept them.At this time, the scammer generously told him that he had to go out for a few days for something, and he could put the things in the antique shop first. When he came back, everyone would share the money when he sold them. If he couldn't sell them, he would take the things elsewhere to sell them.

The owner of the antique shop saw that he was not at a disadvantage anyway, so he agreed, signed the corresponding documents, and agreed on a date for the scammer to get the bronze back.

After the owner of the antique shop placed the bronzes in the store, a lot of people came to see them, but when they heard the price, no one even made a counter-offer. As time went by, the time left for the scammer to get the bronzes back was getting closer and closer. Coming closer.

One day, a very luxuriously dressed old man suddenly came to the antique shop, followed by a very muscular servant.The shopkeeper of the antique shop didn't like ordinary people when he saw the old man's aura, so he hurriedly entertained him warmly.Although the old man was luxuriously dressed and impressive, he was very kind to the owner of the antique shop.

While chatting with the old man, the shopkeeper of the antique shop learned that the old man had been doing shipping business there, specializing in selling antiques to other places. He was passing by on business this time, and because he liked antiques, he came in to sit there.During the chat between the two, the owner of the antique shop also discovered from the old man's conversation that the old man knew a lot about antiques. He accurately stated the origin and value of the several antiques he gave him.

But because these things were ordinary goods, the old man didn't care too much. The shopkeeper of the antique shop was moved and took out the bronze Buddha that the scammer had stored here.After playing with it carefully, the old man said that it was a good thing and wanted to spend several thousand dollars to buy it.But the owner of the antique shop said that this thing was stored here by others. If you want to buy it, you can't buy it for less than thirty-five thousand silver.

After thinking about it, the old man probably felt that he should make a profit by selling it overseas, so he and the owner of the antique shop spent a long time on the price, and finally the two of them reached a deal at 3 taels.At this time, the old man said that he did not have so much cash on him, but he was willing to give him 1000 taels of silver as a deposit first. He would then send someone to deliver the balance the day after tomorrow and take away the Buddha statue. The shopkeeper of the antique shop saw that it was like this It was a big deal, so of course I was very happy, so I happily agreed.

What he didn't expect was that early the next morning, the playboy pretending to be a liar came to ask for the bronze Buddha, saying that someone was willing to pay 2 taels of silver to buy his bronze Buddha.The owner of the antique shop told him that he would be able to sell thirty thousand pieces tomorrow.But the liar said that there was something wrong in his hometown, and he was eager to get money to go home to deal with the emergency, and he had to leave that day.

After the owner of the antique shop thought deeply for a while, he told the swindler that he was willing to pay 1000 taels for the bronze Buddha, so that the swindler could have money to go home and do business, and he could also make a lot of money.Although the liar complained that he would break people's trust, he still accepted the 1000 taels of silver notes that the owner of the antique shop collected from everywhere.

After the scammer left, the shopkeeper of the antique shop began to wait for the old man to trade the bronze Buddha. However, as time passed day by day, the old man never showed up. At this time, the shopkeeper of the antique shop realized that he had been tricked. Cheated.

The key is that with some tinkering, the original bronze was replaced with a fake.

In this way, the loss will be even greater.

Originally, the shopkeeper thought that he could either sell it to make money, or leave the things for Runtu to see.Show it to Runtu first, and then sell it to the old man if you don't want it.

But he later realized that the old man and the liar were also in the same group.

After working for so long, I actually fell down so hard.

Runtu: "When did it happen?"

"Two days ago."

Runtu: "Tell me about their characteristics." He explained the characteristics.

Shopkeeper: "When I realized I had been cheated, I immediately reported it to the patrol. Jiashan should have been cordoned off. I don't know if anyone went out."

Upon hearing this, Runtu immediately used his space ability.

His current spatial ability is very powerful and can cover the entire Jiashan.

He immediately searched for a few people who fit the characteristics.

He actually found her and actually checked into a hotel.

They also want to leave.

But there are notices about them at the station and at the city gate.

What they thought was to stay for a few more days and wait for the news to pass before leaving.

Runtu immediately told the patrol police about the situation and went to arrest the person.

Runtu didn't blame the shopkeeper. He was an old man, so he didn't mean anything.

There are many tricks in the antique market, and even the most savvy people may be deceived.

When you suddenly enter a dimly lit antique store, be alert. On the contrary, if the lights in the store are dazzling, don't take it lightly.Light can directly affect the brightness and moistness of the patina, and dark or strong light will just cover its "gloss".When misjudgments occur, that is, when "looking the wrong way" occurs, the culprit is dim light.

The Qing Dynasty is gone now, and this period is the lower limit of the antique era.Counterfeits emerge in endlessly.

There are also many tricks.

For example, when you are ready to identify a piece of porcelain with a new base, the owner will take the initiative to reveal other minor flaws, such as slight bumps on the mouth, scratches on the glaze, etc., but he will say nothing about the real problem of the porcelain being replaced. The purpose of mentioning is to divert the buyer's attention so that people focus on small problems and ignore other problems.

When some sellers see that buyers are becoming interested in an item, they will say in a serious manner that there is already a "predetermined buyer" for the item and they will keep it temporarily, or they will say that so-and-so has gone home to get the money. As soon as you know it, in fictional plots, buyers who don’t know the truth often lose their peace of mind. If his possessiveness is about to start, he will naturally be fooled.

The method is very simple, which is to use the subcontracting scheme to exchange the inferior for the superior, and exchange the fake for the genuine. The key link is to manipulate the "service" items attached after the transaction is completed, so that people can be fooled without knowing it.

Everyone has sympathy for the weak, but if used improperly, it will cause a lot of trouble.If one day someone who is not very familiar with you comes to your door and tells you that his family is in trouble and he wants to sell the goods, then nine times out of ten this is a conspiracy.

There are roughly three forms of expression: one is the poverty-seeking type, claiming that there is a sudden change in the family, or a family member is sick, or there is a theft at home, etc., and in order to raise funds, they must bear the pain and give up their love.The second type is the accidental telling type. He suddenly appears in pain in front of you. When you ask, he will tell you that there have been frequent disasters at home recently, how much life-saving money is in urgent need, and that you want to exchange antiques for money.

Anyone who engages in antiques has their eyes open, and their routines are constantly changing.

Even in the Hereafter.

But it’s all about changing the soup without changing the medicine.

There are also those with simple clothes and clothing, which are common in street stalls. The stall owners are often dressed in ragged clothes, quite like old farmers in the countryside. Those messy goods on the street stalls, if you see you biting the hook, the person will use the simple language of farmers to describe these "literary things". The origin of "play" is told in detail, such as what was harvested in the countryside, dug in the mountains, picked up from the waste pile, etc. It is vivid and vivid, making you think you are happy to find a good opportunity.This trick is very effective, and the buyer has a high success rate.These scammers often travel all over the country. When they succeed, they just change places and disappear without a trace.

There is also Tuo, who sings the oboe.

The actors are all in the open, and the two of them are singing and harmonizing like cross talk actors. The person who plays the role of the eye-catcher must stand in the middle position of "impartiality" and must put himself in the buyer's shoes from time to time.

The division of labor between the two is clear. One stays at home and waits for prey, while the other goes out to look for prey.

One person is in the light, and the other is in the dark. The person in the dark pretends to reveal the secret of good things to the buyer, trying to inspire his desire to buy, while the person in the light always pretends that he is being kept in the dark. At the same time, some plots must be designed to make the buyers feel like they are picking up the missing pieces. During this process, the two actors never have direct contact in front of the buyers.

Even this antique shop will have some routines, but it will have principles.

The easiest people to be deceived are those who commit crimes as a team, and sometimes the cooperation is perfect.

Even Runtu couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be deceived.

As a product, its characteristics are concentrated in two points: one is ancient, with a sense of vicissitudes burdened by history, and these things are often the best witnesses of a historical period; the other is culture and taste, Be artistic.Only with these two characteristics can it become a valuable antique.

To determine the price of an antique, first look at the category. Porcelain, jade, calligraphy and painting have always been the main collections, and they should be treated differently.Like gemstones and jade, its value does not depend on the era. It mainly depends on the raw materials of the jewelry itself, such as diamonds, Hotan white jade, emeralds, and jade. As long as the raw materials are of the right quality, they can be sold at a good price.

Porcelain, bronze, calligraphy and painting, etc. are different. Due to the artificial participation of carving, engraving and painting, the technical conditions determine its artistic level, and the market price is reflected in the artistic value.High ancient porcelain cannot sell blue and white porcelain, and the main reason is reflected here.

Collections are not only judged by era, jewelry is judged by raw materials, porcelain is judged by the prehistoric period and the kiln entrance, calligraphy and painting are judged by famous artists and workmanship.

Things that had high artistic value and were very valuable in ancient times are still very valuable now; things that were worthless in ancient times are not worth much now.The price of decorative porcelain is higher than that of household porcelain.

In official kilns, after leaving the kiln, even if there were pinpoint-sized black spots on the porcelain, it would be smashed. These extremely delicate porcelains were worth a lot of money at that time.

Some civilian pottery and porcelain have poor craftsmanship value due to their rough workmanship, so their preservation value is not high.

Why can’t old jade be sold as new jade? There are so many fakes of ancient jade that people can’t believe it easily.The identification of ancient jade requires a high degree of professional knowledge, and ordinary people do not have the relevant knowledge.

Ancient jade is different from other antiques. The jade itself is formed through hundreds of millions of years of deposition. In this sense, every piece of jade is an antique, and the jade itself contains historical and cultural value.

When preserving ancient jade, it is best to choose jade that has been inherited in an orderly manner and has a clear origin. The orderly inheritance of an antique or a type of antique means that the origin of the antique can be found in documents or other things left over from ancient times.

One point is ancient, with a sense of vicissitudes burdened by history. Often these things are the best witnesses of a prehistoric period.

Another point is to be civilized, tasteful and artistic.

Only with these two characteristics can it become a valuable antique.The price of an antique is high and low. I think the value of gems and jade mainly depends on the material of the jewelry itself.and

Because porcelain, bronze, calligraphy and painting involve artificial carving, engraving, and painting, the technical conditions determine its artistic level, and the market price is reflected in the artistic value. (End of chapter)
