Chapter 349: Meet the enemy again
Chapter 349: Meeting Enemy Again
Then the two of them went to a hotel to open a room and set a five-day schedule.
In the room, Wei Xiaoyu didn't rest. She immediately took out the things she bought and put on makeup for Zhou Xuan first. She put beards on his face one by one, two horns on his lips, a small handful of goat whiskers on his chin, and a beard on his face. The whole person immediately became rough and mighty.
Zhou Xuan looked in the mirror for a while, and had to admire him. Even he himself did not recognize the person in the mirror. Wei Xiaoyu took another pair of plain glasses and handed them to him, saying, "Put it!"
Zhou Xuan put on his glasses and looked at it again, haha, this is like a unkempt professor!
However, before Zhou Xuan could speak, Wei Xiaoyu said, "Zhou Xuan, since we are going to the antique market to find clues and pretend to be buyers, you might as well say that you are a professor. This image is very similar. Besides, you have superpowers and what you understand best is antiques. Even if you can't use superpowers, then you understand very well, right?"
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "That's right, I want to pretend to be an antique expert. I am very good at it. Although the superpowers on my body cannot be transformed against the enemy, if it is just to detect the authenticity of antiques, it will be no difficulty at all. When I first obtained this superpower, it was far less than my current ability. There is no difficulty in detecting antiques!"
Wei Xiaoyu smiled, then took the supplies and tools to the bathroom and closed the door tightly. She didn't want to see Zhou Xuan learn her makeup skills, but she didn't want to see Zhou Xuan watching her turn ugly with her own eyes.
Women are different. Even if they wear makeup and deform, they can't be too ugly.
Zhou Xuan smiled and took advantage of the time when he was free to change the clothes Wei Xiaoyu bought. All the clothes he bought were casual clothes. After putting them on, he looked in front of the mirror and was like a rough and ungrateful scholar or an artist.
In this way, Zhou Xuan met a very famous TV drama director in the newspaper, and that looked similar to his current appearance.
It took about ten minutes before Wei Xiaoyu came out of the bathroom.
When Zhou Xuan saw her, he couldn't help but be stunned. The woman who came out of the bathroom looked yellow and looked in her thirties. She didn't have the beautiful and beautiful face of Wei Xiaoyu. She was a very ordinary middle-aged woman!
After Zhou Xuan was stunned, he saw a little Wei Xiaoyu's agility in her eyes. If he hadn't watched her walk in from outside with his own eyes, he would never have believed that Wei Xiaoyu was walking out now.
"Can you still recognize it as me?" Princess Wei Xiaoyu smiled, and her tone was a little proud.
The silver bell-like sound is indeed Wei Xiaoyu. Zhou Xuan looked at his appearance in the mirror and knew that Wei Xiaoyu could transform herself, but he didn't expect that there would be such a big effect. Now, no one would recognize their appearance even if he walked home!
The two of them were having a joking joke, then they left the room, took the elevator downstairs, and when they left the hotel lobby, the front desk lady was a little surprised, as if they had never seen these two people before, but the hotel was open for 24 hours a day, so the guests who came when she was not here were not surprised, so they took a look and didn't ask much.
After leaving the hotel, Zhou Xuan stopped a taxi and got in the car and asked, "Brother Driver, do you know where the antique shop and antique market are here?"
"I know, are you going?" the driver nodded and replied, "In Xinghua Street in the north of the city, it is the largest antique market in Jiangbei. You want to buy the best, most expensive, or the cheapest, and you can find it there!"
"Swallow, go there!" Zhou Xuan waved his hand.
The driver immediately started the car, Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoyu smiled at each other, and the two were very ordinary, so the driver didn't take a look at him anymore and drove the car on his own.
He was not familiar with this city, and Zhou Xuan didn't care about this. The driver arrived after driving for half an hour. When he entered this street, Zhou Xuan saw a series of passing by. The plaques on the storefronts were filled with the names of some antique shops, and he knew that he had arrived.
After paying the fare, Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoyu got out of the car, looked at the street in front of him, and smiled and said, "Xiaoyu, I'm here, how much do you know about antiques?"
"I'll just pretend to be deaf and dumb. I don't understand that thing at all!" Wei Xiaoyu shook her head and replied.
The two of them looked along the shop in front of a street. The antique shops were not on the same level as his Zhou Zhang shop. Of course, they just talked about the preciousness of goods. The store size of these shops was much larger than his, but there were not many authentic goods on the shelves.
There are a few items that are really worth a lot of money. There are the most jades worth hundreds of dollars, but none of them are real, all of them are fake, but the surface is very real, but no matter how real it is, it is far less true than the fakes collected in Fu Yuanshan's case.
There are really no authentic antiques, no treasures, and the antiques are really good at fighting against fakes. The official crackdown on authentic products is very strong, mainly to prevent the growing tomb robbery atmosphere. For money, those who take risks will continue to follow one after another and never have a peaceful life.
In all antique markets and antique shops, it is difficult to find a real authentic or treasure now. It is not surprising that fakes are as much as you want.
I walked through seven or eight stores in a row, almost all of them were like this. The clerks of these antique shops were very enthusiastic and desperately introduced them. However, looking at the clothes of Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoyu, they were only introducing jade items worth hundreds of dollars each, and they thought they were not rich fat sheep, and it was good to make a few hundred dollars.
Wei Xiaoyu didn't understand and didn't speak. She just followed Zhou Xuan and said nothing.
Zhou Xuan has recovered 10% ice gas and does other difficult things, but it is easy to detect these objects. These jades are just inferior jade pieces, with B-quality C-quality goods. In terms of value, they are worth up to 30 or 100 yuan, but they are well made, with good brilliance and color, and it looks like they are no different from the best jade.
Jiangbei is a tourist city. Many tourists who come to travel like to buy some jade and other pendants for their families and relatives. However, when you go to these antique shops, you will buy them differently than when you buy them at street stalls at tourist attractions.
Buying at street stalls at tourist attractions will have a psychological effect. It must be fake, but buying at antique shops is different. In such an antique place, it is full of antique colors, just like buying things in small rural shops and the most famous chain supermarkets. It is natural to say which one is true and which one is fake and has confidence in where it is.
Generally speaking, things worth hundreds of dollars are not expensive. Nowadays, small cities, or rural areas, even big cities, many people from the middle and lower classes can only think about jewelry that can only be seen. The only possibility is to buy a defective product with similar colors and looks like those, which will be more affordable. In fact, when they buy these, they all know that they must be defective or inferior products, because it is impossible to spend hundreds of dollars to buy something worth tens of thousands of dollars.
However, defective and inferior products are better than pure fakes. The fakes are glass or glue, which are completely fakes. I still understand the meaning of defective products, but relatively speaking, goods with a worse texture.
But they still don’t understand the various things here. The bad-quality jade and the inferior-quality bc products made have two meanings. The bad-quality jade and the inferior-quality jade are not harmful to the human body, but the strong acid foam and silicone filling are harmful to the human body. When worn on people, the remaining strong acid components are harmful to the human body. Moreover, within one or two years, the bright color will fall off and cannot be recovered. Even if it is used as a fake method, it will not be made.
No matter how those clerks say it, they can't deceive Zhou Xuan. Although Zhou Xuan has never done fakes, what he has experienced is not something that ordinary clerks can imagine. They know all the methods of making fakes, and they can't deceive him, and all the fakes can't hide them from him.
These jade pieces cost only a few dozen yuan, but the selling price is more than ten times. This profit is simply a huge profit. Unlike Zhou Xuan, who sells top-notch items made of bargains or ice gas. It is natural to be expensive, but so many antique shops in the world cannot have the ability to have his own ability. They rely on these three or hundreds of yuan income, which can accumulate a lot. If you can do such a small business in a day, it is also a pure profit of several thousand yuan. If you want to talk about real antiques, how can there be so many?
I'm afraid that most of the antiques that are actually traded are fakes, but when buying and selling antiques, you can only lose your teeth and blood when buying fakes. In this industry, it's the rules, which tests your eyesight and skills. If you are fooled, you can only blame your lack of ability.
Zhou Xuan would definitely not be fooled like this. He just visited several stores and never saw anything like the real fakes seen by Fu Yuanshan.
Zhou Xuan also asked if there were any good antiques, but the other party looked at his and Wei Xiaoyu and seemed to be a little unbelievable. People rely on clothes and Buddhas to be gold, and they can still buy antiques worth hundreds of thousands or millions if they are worn so poorly?
Zhou Xuan smiled bitterly and walked forward with Wei Xiaoyu. Another shop was named "Stone Story". It looks like a Dream of Red Mansions. From this name, we can estimate that the main business of this antique shop is jade.
After entering, the specifications and formats of the store are not much different from those of other stores, but there are indeed more jade pieces at the counter, and there are much more varieties and styles.
Zhou Xuan looked at it and found that there were jade pieces in the glass cabinet and porcelain on the shelf. There were much more jade pieces, and there were price points from left to right.
The lowest one is more than one hundred, then more than two hundred, more than three hundred, and there are more than seven hundred thousand bracelets at the end of the right. This is really more than other stores.
Zhou Xuan used ice gas to test the bracelet for more than 700,000 yuan. This thing is still true. It was just a tamper. It was not the purest old pit type of glass, but the water area, with a small amount of impurities inside it. However, it was made by one means. It looked similar to the ice area on the surface, with high transparency and attractive color.
If we look at the actual value, the cost of this bracelet is not more than 10,000 yuan, and the bid price is 760,000 yuan.
But there was no one who dared to say that this was something that was inconsistent with value. Only people would be amazed when would they be able to afford such a good thing, but they did not suspect that it was a defective product with value.
Zhou Xuan couldn't help but sigh. He could clearly mark 760,000 yuan for a price of 10,000 yuan. The owner of this store was also unscrupulous. If it were him, he would definitely not sell more than 15,000 yuan.
Zhou Xuan has strict regulations on his store. He is not afraid of selling high-priced goods, but cannot sell fake goods. This is his principle. Anyway, he has no worries about the source. If he uses quality to fight with other stores.
The clerk of this "Stone Story" is also different from other stores. There are two female clerks at the jade counter, who are beautiful, and the sales of antique shelves are handled by an old man sitting inside.
Zhou Xuan looked at it for a while and didn't see what he was looking for. He was about to ask Wei Xiaoyu to go out together when suddenly a man in his thirties walked out of the inner room. He was dressed in oily and smooth face. He smiled at a girl at the counter and said, "Xiao Lin, there will be a dinner party tonight. Follow me after get off work. It's the old rule, you will be paid double salary!"
When Zhou Xuan heard the man's voice, he was stunned and felt very familiar. After looking at the man again, he still felt very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
The girl girl at the counter smiled and said, "Manager Fang, double salary is not good. I went there and drank again. I suffered a great loss when I drank so much last time. I don't know... I don't know how many hands I got... Hehe..."
Zhou Xuan thought about what it meant when he heard this, but the girl spoke frivolously and casually, and it was not surprising that she was just heard saying "Manager Fang", Zhou Xuan felt a move in his heart and suddenly he thought about it!
Look at that man again, it’s him!
This person was actually the first person Zhou Xuan met when he entered this industry, that is Fang Dacheng, the manager of Chen Sanyan's store in Jingshizhai, Nanfang, and Chen Sanyan's brother-in-law.
This was one of Zhou Xuan's first opponents. After Chen Sanyan left, Fang Dacheng made things difficult for him everywhere, and finally drove him away while Chen Sanyan was absent. Although Zhou Xuan had no losses, Fang Dacheng really hated what he did. At that time, he invited someone to attack him and Fu Ying in the alley. If Fu Ying hadn't had great skills, he would have suffered a loss. He was a complete villain!
Later, I met that guy at the head office of Chen Sanyan in Jiangnan. I punished him and his partners hard at the gambling stone factory. I guess he was seriously injured. Why have he recovered his vitality now?
No matter what, Zhou Xuan never thought that he would meet Fang Dacheng here today!
Didn’t Fang Dacheng work as a manager at Chen Sanyan? Why did he come to Jiangbei if he is in the southern branch?
It seems that this store does not look like Chen Sanyan's store. It is small in scale and is far away from the north and south of the Yangtze River. Fang Dacheng suffered a severe blow to Zhou Xuan last time, but he did not expect that he would have recovered his vitality now.
As soon as he met this old enemy, Zhou Xuan did not think that he would leave immediately. He wanted to take a look at Fang Dacheng's current situation.
When Fang Dacheng came out, his eyes also swept across Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoyu's faces, and then fell on the girl named Xiaolin at the counter. He didn't care about Zhou Xuan at all. With his hatred for Zhou Xuan and his desire for beauty, it was impossible not to not pay attention to him and Wei Xiaoyu. This expression now only shows that Wei Xiaoyu's makeup was very successful, and Fang Dacheng didn't see any flaws.
Zhou Xuanbingqi has the ability to change his throat and made a voice. He used it last time he dealt with Zhuang Zhixian. He immediately suppressed his voice, changing the voice to a little hoarse and a little low. Then he said to the female clerk named Xiaolin: "Miss, can you take out this jade pendant and take a look?"
Xiaolin was stunned for a moment. She clearly saw Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoyu who were about to leave the store, so why did they look back and look at the jade pieces? Besides, they didn't look like rich people. The jade pendant he asked about was priced at 16,680 yuan. It was jade without impurities. In their store, it was also a genuine product. Although the essential price would not exceed 2,000 yuan, it was still a real product.
Of course Zhou Xuan knew, Xiaolin was stunned, and then took out the jade Guanyin pendant from the counter.
Zhou Xuan took it in his hand and watched it slowly. This jadeite with green ground is not a high-end product, but the texture is not bad, there are no impurities, and the color is also very green. To be precise, it is "green", which is different from the top-grade Emperor Green.
Generally speaking, if you want to make high-value jewelry items, you usually need good quality jade, and carving workers generally choose to make bracelets, rings, etc. This type of jewelry will often sell at a higher price, but sometimes it will be made according to the shape of the jade body.
It is estimated that this piece of jadeite from the oily land is not suitable for making other things because of its limited body shape, so it made this Guanyin statue.
Zhou Xuan looked at it, then put it back on the glass counter, and said lightly: "Okay, Miss, please wrap it up for me!"
Zhou Xuan's action did not seem to be a move to buy it, and he said it very lightly. Xiaolin didn't react at all. No one would think that Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoyu would ask for this thing, and they didn't even say the price. This is more than 16,000, which is equivalent to her half-year salary. Could it be that she lost her eyes? This vulgar man is actually a big money?
But it really doesn't look like him. Not only does he look like him, he doesn't look like a rich man at all, he wears clothes, his expression on his face, and the woman who follows him.
Fang Dacheng reacted quickly. After all, he was the boss. He quickly laughed and said, "Xiaolin, put it in the box, Xiaojuan, issue an order. Mr., please sit down here and wait slowly. It will be fine immediately, wait for a while!"
