Ren Jingtian's eyes were much higher than Yu Lifei. When he saw Yu Lifei pointing at the can of the halberd lid, he held it in his hand and looked carefully. The whole pattern of the can was painted in underglaze red, and there were eight symmetrical halberd wheels on the upper shoulders of the abdomen, with lotus patterns on each of them.

The lotus pattern and Sanskrit are painted in the middle of the belly, with a unique shape. This is a ritual utensil used in Buddhism to make temples. The porcelain is written in ancient India. There are five Chinese characters in the seal script "Great Destiny of Good and Good Lucky" written in the bottom and lid of the jar, which means to eliminate disasters and avoid misfortunes and good luck. Perhaps the temperature of the kiln is too high, and the red hair inside the glaze inside the jar is dark red, with a slight red and diffuse phenomenon.

As the saying goes, blue and white are the most expensive, and red underglaze is the most popular. The glaze surface of this jar is blue and white, and the underglaze bubbles are sparse and bright. The body of this jar is thick, and flint red and stitches can be seen at the exposed body of the vessel, and the body feels smooth. This jar is currently rare in China. The most famous blue and white collection is in the Palace Museum in Beijing, which is the same as the theme of this machine.

But Ren Jingtian also knew very well that there were too many imitations now. If he could see such things on street stalls, he would not have been fooled so many times. He slapped himself, was deceived, and learned lessons. He couldn't let others get fooled again. At the moment, he made up his mind and couldn't let Yu Lifei be fooled too.

"Xiao Yu, this thing is very ordinary and takes up space. What are you buying it for?" Ren Jingtian said. There are many rules in the antiques business. For example, Yu Lifei is talking about this thing with the stall owner now, so he can only watch it from the side. Even if he and Yu Lifei are friends, some questions cannot be said.

The antique market has inherited the tradition since ancient times, mainly street stalls and stalls as supplemented by stalls. Many people feel dirty and messy when they go to the antique market for the first time, and there are people everywhere and everything they sell. Usually, one rule should be paid attention to when visiting street stalls, that is, when walking.

If you walk into a street stall and suddenly want to leave, you should ask you to continue moving forward or backward from the street stall, but don’t step out because the stall is a little bit. There are two main problems in doing this. First, the behavior is disrespect to others. Secondly and most importantly, antique shops sell special goods, and these goods are all "priceless". Priceless here means that the price is difficult to measure, not the meaning of priceless treasures. Once you scratch it, it’s hard to say. You can often see quarrels or even fights in antique shops, most of which are because you have broken things.

When I arrived at a stall, I started to look at things. There was another rule called: "Don't look at things in my hand and don't ask about them." The one I mentioned here is not the hands of the antique dealer, but that in this stall, other buyers should not look at things that the viewer has held in his hand and should not ask about them.

Many newcomers don’t understand this rule. When they arrive at a coin stall, they see someone else holding a copy of coins and look at it. When they see someone they like, they go up and take the notebook and say, “Brother, let me take a look at this.” At this time, if they are polite, they will say to you, “Please wait until I finish reading it and then read it.” If you are not polite, you can directly scold you for not understanding the rules.

If someone has finished reading it, it is best to wait until the seller takes the thing back and then look at it from the seller. It is best not to take it directly from the previous official. This is mainly because some officials are not clean and can steal things. If they hand over the rest to your hands after taking the thing, after you finish reading it, the seller will find that there are few things and you will not be able to explain it clearly.

When the previous audience member has chosen several things and is bargaining with the boss, please keep quiet if you are on the scene. If there are some good things, you will go over and ask "What have you bought, let me see?" or ask the boss directly: "How much does this thing cost?"

This is not advisable, because when both parties talk about prices, it is actually a psychological competition. When you get involved, both of them will be nervous. The buyer will think, what is this guy doing? Don’t want to pry it off. The seller will think, what does this person mean? You want to make trouble. If the buyer is run away, who will I sell my things?

There is another big taboo in the antique industry, that is, when a buyer has already chosen good things and bargained with the boss, suppose that the boss asks for a price of 1,000, and the buyer still reaches 800. If you report it and say to the boss, "Boss, I want this thing 1,000," then you are very wrong. If the seller you met at that time also understands the rules, he will refuse you and even sell it to the buyer at a price of 800.

In addition to the rules of looking at things, there are rules for buying things. There is a saying in the antique industry: "If you don't buy it, it's a big taboo in the industry." If you don't bargain with the seller, once the price is offered, if the seller agrees, you have to buy it. Otherwise, it will not be a strange thing to encounter someone with a hot temper and causing life.

In addition to looking at things, buying rules, and returning rules. There are no ones who don’t buy fakes when playing with antiques, and there are no ones who never return them when buying fakes. Buying fakes and returning goods always keeps accompanies one by one to get mature from childishness.

Antiques are special commodities. Any item is accompanied by authenticity, price issues, etc. When it is transferred, the general rule is that buying and selling depends entirely on your eyesight. True and fake are determined by your destiny. No matter whether the thing goes out, it is no longer responsible for the authenticity or bad. It is not absolute whether it is refunded or not in the antiques business. Generally, if you buy a fake, and have been confirmed by many insiders, you will find the original owner and should be refunded. However, the refund amount is generally only 90%-70% of the total price (as negotiated by both parties).

If the thing is real and the buyer regrets it after buying it, the seller has the right not to return it. Whether it is genuine or fake, the buyer cleans, repairs, or damaged after buying it home, which means that it cannot be kept as it is and will not be returned.

In addition, there are rules for identification. It is common to buy things and give them to friends with good eyes, but there are rules in it.

If the person you pass by is a good relationship with you and is a very familiar friend, it doesn't matter. If you buy something that is not clear about the quality and bad, and then use it for an appraisal by an unknown expert, you should pay attention to a few points: First of all, don't easily show things that you cannot break and don't insist on making decisions about what the other party gives you.

Because for a collector with a good level, it is not difficult to identify something. The difficulty is whether the result should be told to the owner of the thing. Because if the thing is fake, the buyer may return the item based on your conclusion. If the seller knows that it was the one you gave the appraisal, then you will offend someone.

Secondly, when you return a fake, don't give it to the person you appraised, such as "Someone said that this thing is fake, please return it to me." Such unwise actions usually offend many people. First of all, you let the seller know who the person who gave you the advice, and at the same time make him feel that everyone in the business has already known about his behavior of selling your fake goods, so that the things that could have been returned will not be refunded.

The most important thing is to do this to make the person who helps you feel that you have sold others and will not help you see things in the future. Finally, if things are very big, other antique shops will think that you are a capricious person and are used to returning things after buying things, and no one will be willing to sell them to you in the future.
