I looked at my father Jackie Chan in 1988

Liulichang has a unique position in the minds of domestic literati.

The famous calligraphers and painters in modern times are not recognized by Liulichang, and it is very unrealistic to want to mix in the rivers and lakes.

People such as Zhang Daqian and Qi Baishi have left good stories in Liulichang.In fact, Liulichang not only has the function of putting gold on the face of literati, but also has the function of trading antiques.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liulichang had a prominent reputation, and the trade of cultural relics was very developed.

However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liulichang gradually declined, especially in the late 80s, Liulichang has experienced a downturn for more than 30 years.

"The rise and fall of Liulichang can be regarded as a barometer of the historical development of our country."

300 meters to the south of Hepingmen, an old street with carved beams and painted buildings suddenly jumped into the eye sockets. Although the voices of men in long robes and jackets have disappeared, there are still antique shops, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, sculptures, and ancient books. The three of Ji Sheng and his party who walked into the Liulichang antique market were dragged into the smoke and clouds of history.

He is listening to Zhu Flocking explaining the history of Liulichang.

Zhi Youcai also listened attentively.

Zhu Flocking walked in and said softly: "If it coincides with the prosperous age, it will also be the spring of the cultural and antique trade. Of course, the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China are exceptions. The prosperity of antique cultural and cultural objects in this period is a sickly and twisted phenomenon. Collect The spring of official recovery is still the early stage of reform and opening up. During this period, most people have not yet become rich, and the antique market is oversupplied, so Liulichang’s cultural toys are relatively cheap.”

Ji Sheng came from the modern society. Of course he knew that what Lao Zhu said was true. Due to the influence of the planned economy for many years, the prices were not very high. The entire 80s was the golden age of collecting. He is very glad that he has come to the end of this golden age. At the end, there is a chance to catch the last bus.

"Let's take a look around and go to Rongbaozhai later." Zhu Zhirong pointed to a shop ahead.

Ji Sheng hummed, "Go in and have a look."

This is an old one-story house, and the signboard says "Huaiyin Mountain House" in flamboyant characters.

Ji Sheng walked in first, Zhu Flocking and Zhi Youcai followed behind.

As soon as he entered the Huaiyin Mountain House, he was a little surprised, because there was no counter, cashier, and bookshelves on all four walls as soon as he entered the door, as well as various wood carvings, porcelain, copper ornaments, old furniture, and jade objects. Here, these items are attached with labels showing the name and price of the item.

Ji Sheng looked in again, and found that in the inner room facing the window, there was a lacquered Eight Immortals table of elm wood, with Taishi chairs on both sides of the table, and couplets hanging on the wall, it was a little far away to see the content clearly.

In the observation room, a man in his fifties came forward with a smile, "Three young brothers, do you want to see something?"

Zhu Zhirong also responded with a smile on his face: "Brother Nian, I will accompany my friends to see Wenwan Yawu."

The two exchanged a few words.

Ji Sheng didn't say a word, he didn't expect the shopkeeper to be so polite now, and even called each other "Brother Nian" with customers, which was no longer seen later.

After a brief exchange, the owner suddenly realized: "It turns out that Brother Ji Nian likes porcelain, do you want me to recommend it?"

Ji Sheng responded with a smile and learned to be polite: "Then there will be Brother Lao Nian."

The shop owner led the three of them to the porcelain area, and said casually: "My porcelain from the Yongzheng period is more expensive, with five hundred bowls and plates, and the porcelain from the Qianlong official kiln is slightly cheaper, more than 400 yuan. As for the porcelain from other eras, it is not very valuable. , about a hundred and ten yuan."

Ji Sheng almost fainted when he heard that, damn it, it's too cheap for you, the one from the Yongzheng period only sold for 400?More than [-] Qianlong official kilns?

How did he know that today's Liulichang shops are dismissive of things from before Qianlong, and not many people want them.

Even in the early 90s, an antique shop accidentally smashed a piece of official kiln porcelain from the Daoguang period. At that time, it seemed that this was a piece of garbage. Considering that every item has an account to check, it can only barely enter The library was thrown in an inconspicuous place in the corner until 5000 when the antique shop was sorting out the library and was planning to dispose of the damaged porcelain. Three collectors who happened to come to this store came together. They rushed to buy it after seeing it, and finally sold it to the highest bidder for [-] yuan. At that time, the people in the antique shop couldn't believe it.

It is conceivable how little Liulichang regards the official kiln porcelain of the Qing Dynasty.

Zhu Zhirong smiled and said: "Okay, you are talented, come with me to pick out some good porcelain with Mr. Ji."

"Hey." Zhi Youcai leaned over to look, but he didn't start.

Ji Sheng also took a look curiously, and he saw a pair of plates named "Qing Guangxu. Blue and White Wrapped Branches and Patterns Large Plate", and the inscription is the eight characters written in double-line regular script, "The Tomb of the Five Clans Made by Jiechen".

The price is only 50 yuan?

He was speechless for a while, this thing is worth twenty to thirty thousand in modern society at least!

Ji Sheng said without hesitation: "Brother Nian, I want this pair of plates."

The boss said oh, "Okay, I'll take it out for you first, and you will pay the bill together after you finish picking."

Ji Sheng said, "Thank you."

Zhi Youcai glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Boss, there are so many good things here, what are you doing with a plate from the Guangxu period?"

Ji Sheng explained indiscriminately, "It looks pretty good, so I bought it."

He opened a collectibles company in modern society. It is impossible to only do high-end antique business. There must be some low-end and mid-end ones. Plates like this one from the Guangxu period are just right, so of course he will take the opportunity to buy them.

While talking here, Ji Sheng saw another "Qing Yongzheng. Blue and white alum red cloud and dragon pattern plate", although the price is [-], but he has seen the introduction of similar items in modern society, probably for sale About [-], just enough to enrich his company's inventory in modern society, "I want this plate too."

"Okay." The boss responded.

Then Ji Sheng went crazy.

Qing Qianlong. Yellow Ground Pastel Eight Auspicious Candlesticks!

A pair of Qing Tongzhi. Yellow-ground famille rose magpies on plum cups!

A pair of Qing Daoguang. Rouge purple ground rolling consecrated pastel five grain harvest bowls!

Ji Sheng bought thirty or forty pieces of low-end porcelain in one go.

The boss was dumbfounded. He had seen quite a few proud customers, but he had never seen Ji Sheng who bought thirty or forty pieces as soon as he made a move?Although these porcelains are not very good items for his shop, the price is cheap, but if they are 1 or [-] pieces cheaper, they will cost more than [-] yuan!

Suddenly, Zhu Zhirong shouted in surprise, "Brother Nian, is this yellow glaze molded square bottle with cloud and crane patterns from the Daoguang period only selling for 300 yuan?"

Ji Cheng followed the sound and looked over, and found an extremely beautiful yellow square bottle caught in his eyes, this thing is not ordinary at first glance.

But the boss said casually: "Well, three hundred, if you want..."

Before he finished speaking, a hoarse but familiar voice came from the door, "I'll pay you four hundred!"

Ji Sheng looked sideways towards the door, and found speechlessly that the person who spoke was actually a young man who was bidding with him at Panjiayuan in the morning. He didn't have a good impression of this young man. The Xuande furnace could have been sold at a very cheap price. I bought it, but it was raised to more than 3000 yuan by this guy.

Are you messing with me again now?

Ji Sheng couldn't help frowning.

Zhi Youcai was also very upset, and said angrily: "Can you show some face, you little red guy? We are watching, and you want to snatch it?"

The young man was dumbfounded as always, "I have money, can you control me!"

Zhu Furong is so old, he couldn't help but twitched when he heard the young man's words, and wanted to hit this guy very much.

However, something that no one expected happened.

The boss glanced at the young man coldly. He didn't spoil the young man like the boss of Panjiayuan who sells copper wares. "Brother Nian, you have to wait for these customers to put down the price if you want to bid? My hundred-year-old The shop has the rules of a century-old shop, it doesn’t matter if you have money!”

The young man was sneered at by the boss.

Ji Sheng couldn't help but glance at the boss, he had to say that this time-honored antique shop still has a lot of backbone, and it hasn't been blinded by money. This is the foundation of a century-old heritage.

"Okay, then I'll look at the others." The young man didn't argue with the boss, and walked towards the porcelain area, ready to look at the others before deciding what to buy.

Ji Sheng has long been displeased with this kid.

It’s fine to break the rules at Panjiayuan and bid with me, but now it’s still like this at Liulichang?

You still put a glass on me and say you are rich?

Today, my buddy will show you what real arrogance is!

Ji Sheng really saw that this guy was extremely upset. Seeing that the young man was about to squat down to look at the porcelain, he stopped him with his hand, "Wait a minute, you can't look at these."

The young man froze for a moment, "Why? You are not the boss."

The boss was also a little dizzy and said: "Brother Ji Nian, I open the door to do business, it's not good for you to stop my customers like this?"

Zhi Youcai and Zhu Zhirong looked confused, not knowing what Ji Sheng was doing.

"I know it's not good for you to open the door for business and stop your customers." Ji Sheng first affirmed the boss's words.

The young man couldn't help but said, "Then why don't you let me see it?"

The boss followed up and said, "Yes, you..."

Ji Sheng looked at the young man with a smirk, but he said to the boss, "I remember that there is a rule in the entertainment circle, when a buyer is negotiating with the seller for a product that he likes, other buyers are also interested in this product." Buyers can’t express any opinions on the sidelines, and can’t participate in the bidding. They should keep a proper distance and wait. If the transaction fails, the goods can be returned to the original place before negotiating with the seller, right?”

"Yes, that's right, but it generally means that you have gotten started." The boss said truthfully.

The young man yelled there: "That's right, you haven't gotten started yet, why can't I watch it?"

Ji Sheng stood there calmly, and said lightly, "Because there are too many things, I only have two hands, so of course I can't handle them all."

The boss was taken aback, "Brother Ji Nian, you are going to..."

Zhu Fong's eyelids twitched, and he probably guessed what Ji Sheng was going to do.

Zhi Youcai was in the same situation, he couldn't help holding his breath!

Only the young man hadn't reacted yet, "What on earth are you going to do?"

"Nothing, I want all these porcelain!"

Ji Sheng waved his hand domineeringly and said, "Boss, count how many pieces of porcelain there are here, I'll buy them all!"

What the hell!

are you crazy?

What about the few two or three hundred pieces of porcelain here, did you buy them all by yourself?

I've seen someone who would go crazy, but I've never seen you so crazy!

Although most of these two or three hundred pieces of porcelain cost a few hundred yuan each, the advantage lies in the large quantity. Even if the average price is three hundred, so many porcelains are still worth a hundred thousand. It's scary to spend such money like water, a small one hundred thousand, according to the current per capita salary of just over one hundred, a worker can earn it for more than 80 years without eating or drinking!

Everyone present was completely shocked by Ji Sheng's generosity.
