Anling City, East Street.

This is an antique street with scattered antique buildings, blue bricks, black tiles, carved beams and painted buildings. Different from the modern prosperity, this place is closer to the style of the Republic of China.

In the alley, there are simple and elegant antique shops.

Both sides of the street are lined with stalls of all sizes, with a dazzling array of items on the stalls, including porcelain, jade, calligraphy and painting, and coins. The vendors are dressed in traditional costumes, holding pipes or shaking folding fans, interacting with customers playing with antiques. bargain.

The little housekeeper changed into a loose white T+ denim short pants, held Lin Chuan's hand, and came to East Street.

"Old Zhang, Aunt Liu."

The two of them saw Lao Zhang and Liu Qing from a distance, and the little housekeeper waved and said hello.

On the way here, Lin Chuan had already done some psychological training for the little housekeeper, and then it was time for them to show off their acting skills.

Fortunately, the enemy is overt and we are hidden, and the chance of victory is 98%.

Liu Qing was wearing an elegant cheongsam. When she saw the little tenant, she came over enthusiastically, took her hand, walked in, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhang, I haven't seen you in a few days, you little Nizi is beautiful again.”

The little renter's acting skills were excellent and she said with a smile: "Aunt Liu, you look so elegant in your cheongsam."

"How sweet mouth."

Liu Qingying smiled.

She does have a good figure. She is thirty-seven or eighteen years old. There is no obvious fat on her lower abdomen. Her skin is fair and not saggy. She is wearing a cheongsam, showing an elegant temperament.

Obviously.

Lao Zhang had no ability to resist Liu Qing at all.

Several people walked into East Street.

Lin Chuan has visited many antique streets in the virtual world. The antique streets in Anling are relatively scattered, and East Street is the largest.

Lin Chuan also took a few more looks at the stalls on the street with interest.

"Xiao Lin, those stalls outside are all second-hand dealers. Most of them are 'new imitations'. Other than that, they are licensed goods."

Liu Qing turned around and said something to Lao Zhang and Lin Chuan.

New imitations are imitations that have been recently produced.

Licensed goods, works mass-produced by artists or craftsmen to meet market demand.

Lin Chuan grinned and said as if he was a 'novice': "I read some antique novels. The protagonists pick up things in small stalls and then become famous."

"Novel can't be true. If you really want to find good stuff, you have to have special channels." Liu Qing smiled.

In her heart, it was once again confirmed that 'Linchuan = Antique Xiaobai'.

Subsequently. Liu Qing led Lin Chuan and others through the large and small antique stalls, walked into the alley, and entered an antique shop called 'Gu Zhai'.

"Boss Liu, Boss Zhang, you are here to make us shine."

The boss of Guzhai was slightly fat and was wearing a Chinese gown and a pair of cloth shoes. When he saw Liu Qing and Zhang De, he immediately came up to them, cupped his hands and smiled.

Lao Zhang also cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Old boss, business is booming."

"Thanks to Boss Zhang and Boss Liu for helping me." Gu Ban laughed.

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, the old master took a few people to the second floor and explained the antiques one by one to them.

Lin Chuan didn't say anything, but glanced at the store a few times, thinking, it's really dark.

On the first floor of the store, from porcelain, jade to bronze and other items, most of them are defective, and the slightly better ones are also high imitations.

On the second floor, the spacious hall is similar to a museum, with precious antiques displayed in glass cabinets.

But there are very few people who open the door at a glance.

But Lin Chuan is not here to crack down on counterfeiters.

Antiques and stone gambling are similar in some places. There is a rule: you are willing to fight but you are willing to suffer, and don’t try to persuade others.

Unless it's someone close to you.

Otherwise, when the object he is interested in is sold at a high price by someone, he will hold a grudge against the person who persuaded him.

"Xiao Zhang, do you like porcelain, calligraphy and painting, or jade?" Liu Qing asked.

The little housekeeper shook her head: "I don't know much about antiques. Aunt Liu doesn't need to buy me any gifts. It's too expensive."

"You just don't want to see Aunt Liu anymore."

Liu Qing patted Xiao Zhang's hand, and then led the tenant to the porcelain and jade area, "How about this ice-green Guanyin pendant?"

Guban immediately explained to him: "Boss Liu is really discerning. This ice-green Guanyin pendant is a natural product from Laokeng, Myanmar. It was carved by Master Zhou Quanzhou, a domestic jade carving master. It can be called a treasure in the jade world. Participate in After passing the Magic City Jade Exhibition, this is its identification certificate and its exhibition certificate.”

Liu Qing smiled slightly: "Take it out and try it."

"okay."

Gu Ban's eyes lit up and he immediately took out the pendant.

Liu Qing took the ice-green Guanyin pendant, took out the flashlight, and polished it. It was completely translucent and warm to the touch, and the carving was flawless. She nodded with satisfaction: "Jade supports people, Xiao Zhang, I'll put it on for you."

The little housekeeper nodded half-heartedly.

"really not bad!"

After putting it on, Liu Qing sighed, "I'll ask a master later to give you a blessing and make sure you're safe and sound."

The icy green Guanyin pendant is attached to the tenant's white T-shirt. Under the lights in the store, it does have some charm.

The little renter hesitated for a moment and said, "Isn't this expensive?"

Liu Qing looked at Guban.

The old man held out three fingers: "It's not very expensive, twenty."

"too expensive……"

"Guban, charge it to my account!" Before the little charterer could finish her words, Liu Qing had already spoken and took the ice green Guanyin pendant.

"Aunt Liu, you spend too much money." The little housekeeper pursed her lips and said.

"One family doesn't speak the language of two families." Liu Qing waved her hand, smiling broadly, "This Guanyin pendant, paired with a century-old red agate bracelet, Xiao Zhang, you are so beautiful, hey, why didn't you bring the bracelet? "

Lin Chuan turned his head sideways.

coming.

Liu Qing had been laying the groundwork for so long just for this sentence.

The little housekeeper pursed her lips and said a little guiltily: "Aunt Liu, that bracelet was bought by my friend."

Lao Zhang's expression changed and he couldn't help but said: "Xiao Zhang, how could you give your Aunt Liu as a gift..."

"Lao Zhang, it's just a bracelet. I'll give another one to Xiao Zhang later." Liu Qing smiled and stopped Lao Zhang, "How much did you sell that bracelet? We are in the antique circle. You can’t be blackmailed.”

"Ten...twenty thousand," said the little tenant.

"I bought it for 70,000 a few years ago, and you made 50,000 by changing hands."

Liu Qing's eyes lit up, and she praised the little renter to Lao Zhang, "Old Zhang, look at Xiao Zhang, she is born to be in the antique business. Leave the antique shop to Xiao Zhang, there is no problem at all."

"This little Zhang..."

Lao Zhang muttered and said with a smile, "I'll discuss it with Xiao Zhang about the antique shop."

"You should think about it slowly, this matter is not urgent." Liu Qing said with a smile, "Xiao Zhang, let's pick out another bracelet!"

Liu Qing took Xiao Zhang and ran to look at the bracelet again.

Lao Zhang smiled happily when he saw Liu Qing and Xiao Zhang being so harmonious. Then, he caught a glimpse of Lin Chuan out of the corner of his eye, and half of his good mood was gone.

Alas...his precious daughter was harmed by this boy!

Damn it!

However, Lao Zhang knew that his daughter had identified Lin Chuan. After thinking for a moment, he reminded him: "Lin Chuan, you will learn something from your Aunt Liu later. You will inevitably be exposed to these in the future."

"Lao Zhang, are you sure you want to enter the antiques circle?"

Lin Chuan was slightly startled.

Lao Zhang nodded: "Always collecting rent, life is meaningless. While your Aunt Liu is building an antique market, I plan to invest and open an antique store. It only costs 18 million. Don't write novels." , I can’t make much money, so you and Xiao Zhang can take care of it for me from now on.”

Lin Chuan frowned slightly: "If you invest in an antique store, where will you get the goods?"

Lao Zhangyang raised his head and looked at Liu Qing: "Your Aunt Liu will soon become a member of the family and an expert in antiques. There will be no problem in getting the goods from her. Just study hard."

"Well, study hard."

Lin Chuan responded casually, basically confirming Liu Qing's game plan.

This is a very common but extremely effective antique counter.

Lin Chuan could predict that Liu Qing's next move would be to supply goods to Lao Zhang, and then send a "trustee" to the store to buy a few pieces at a high price so that Lao Zhang could taste the benefits first.

Gradually, Lao Zhang is tempted to fall into it, and the price of the goods will become more and more expensive. In the end, all of Lao Zhang's assets will be tightly tied up, and he will not be able to get out.

Its principle is similar to that of the pig-killing plate, which exploits people's curiosity, greed, unwillingness, and the mentality of fighting until they lose everything.

By the time the people in the game discovered it was a scam, it was already too late.

Lin Chuan has experienced "scammers", "swindlers" and "antique counterfeiters", and is familiar with the ways of playing games.

As long as he wanted to step into the gray area a little bit, the banknotes were just like printing.

However, his conscience troubled him.

Again, people with conscience cannot make big money, and people who make big money...can't be shot to death, 90% of the time.

Lin Chuan watched Liu Qing show the little tenant the bracelets, and he was about to start his performance.

"Xinxin, Aunt Liu, I'm going to go shopping downstairs to see if I can find some small gifts for you." Lin Chuan called the little housekeeper 'Xinxin' for the first time, and it was quite difficult to pronounce.

"Chuan, go ahead."

The little housekeeper's acting was perfect, but she didn't even have any laughs.

"Xiao Lin, those vendors, you have to take it easy." Liu Qing reminded.

Lin Chuan looked young, scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Aunt Liu, the ones here are too expensive, I am short of money..."

"Aunt Liu will help you."

"I want to use my own money to buy a gift for Xinxin." Lin Chuan said sincerely.

"It's rare that you have a heart." Liu Qing said with a smile.

Subsequently.

Lin Chuan went downstairs and visited the stalls of small vendors.

"Boss, how much is this coin?"

"Little brother, you really know the goods. This is 'Fengtian Yiliang'. It is the only one with no other branches. The price is three million!"

"Thirty, I'll take it."

"Three hundred thousand, deal!"

"Uncle, what are you dreaming about in broad daylight? This is a high imitation. The quality is barely passable, but the patina, wear and tear on it, as well as the casting process, are far behind. It costs twenty-five yuan."

"Little brother, the thirty yuan you just mentioned is a deal."

Lin Chuan collected a coin and went to the next house.

"Boss, this stove..."

"Brother, you have just started collecting antiques. Let me tell you about this Xuande stove..."

"Assembly line production, using diluted hydrofluoric acid soaked for 48 hours, and then brushed with potassium permanganate. The ex-factory price is ten yuan, I pay thirteen yuan, and you earn three yuan!"

"Brother, three yuan is just enough for me to take the bus. I won't transfer a penny this time!"

"Fifteen, no more!"

"Okay, I'll wrap it up for you right now!"

Not long after, Lin Chuan visited more than ten stalls and bought several 'antiques'.

Obviously, these are fakes.

"Chairman, you bought so many!?"

When Lin Chuan met with the tenant, Liu Qing, and Lao Zhang, the tenant ran over with a surprised look on his face.

"Xinxin, do you think this hairpin looks good? It is said that it was worn by talented women during the Republic of China." Lin Chuan took out a silver hairpin with a butterfly pattern and handed it to the little charterer.

"It looks good." The little charterer smiled.

As long as it was given by Lin Chuan, she thought it looked good, regardless of whether it was true or false.

"Xiao Lin, how much did you pay for this?" Liu Qing smiled.

"One thousand and two."

"Xiao Lin, to be honest with Aunt Liu, the wholesale price should be twelve yuan. If you want to find good products, you have to learn from Aunt Liu." Liu Qing said with a smile.

She thought that in other aspects, maybe Lin Chuan was a top talent.

But in the antique circle, Lin Chuan is a real novice.

The kind that opens the door at a glance!

"What about these?"

Lin Chuan also took out antiques such as the 'Xuande Furnace', 'Ming Dynasty Blue and White Porcelain', and 'Fengtian Yiliang', but Liu Qing just casually glanced at them without even looking at them, then waved her hand and made a conclusion.

--all fake!

In Liu Qing's eyes, Lin Chuan's face suddenly looked lonely, and there was some reluctance to be deceived.

Liu Qing comforted Lin Chuan for a few more words before parting ways.

After separation.

All four people showed satisfied and relieved smiles.

Lao Zhang thought it was done.

Liu Qing thought it was done.

Lin Chuan and the little tenant also thought that it was done.

All in all, everyone is happy.

The little charter woman rode a small electric car, enjoying the surroundings of Lin Chuan, happily walking through the streets and alleys, humming a little tune, and returned to the happy community.

In the Xingfu Community, the dusk scenery gradually spreads out. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the mottled stone road, reflecting warm and mysterious light and shadow. The glass windows of the old houses in the community reflect the soft light and let in a trace of coolness. wind of.

In Lin Chuan's rental house.

"Chairman, you called me 'Xinxin' today. It sounds nice." The little housekeeper put her hands on the table, cupped her face, and focused on her chairman.

"Well, I'm still used to calling you little housekeeper."

Lin Chuan said, placing the fakes he bought today on the table.

The little charter woman pouted and asked, "Can you remove the three words 'little charter' and replace it with another word?"

"Replace it with what?"

Lin Chuan responded to the little tenant, and his eyes fell on one of the coins.

"Change it to 'old'." The little charter woman smiled like a flower and blinked her eyes.

"Old...pom?" Lin Chuan was startled and looked at the little tenant, "I haven't had dinner yet. Do you want to be dinner?"

"It's not impossible."

The little housekeeper showed a bright smile.

Lin Chuan flicked the little renter's forehead, and then placed the coin in front of the little renter: "Do you think this coin is a betrothal gift?"

"It's okay if I don't want a betrothal gift." The little housewife showed a hint of shyness on her face.

"Don't underestimate this coin, it will be worth 40 million!" Lin Chuan said with a smile, his eyes were deep and lively.

"It's not fake, why is it worth 40 million?"

The little housekeeper was startled and her eyes fell on the coin.

In the middle of the coin are the four characters "Guangxu Yuanbao".

On the edge of the ring, there are four slightly smaller words: "Made in Fengtian Province", "Guimao" and "Kuping silver one liang".

Turning to the other side, a real dragon is strong and majestic, with a magnificent temperament.

"It's false now, and tomorrow it's true."

Lin Chuan smiled mysteriously.

This genuine counterfeit coin is also known as ‘Fengtian Yiliang’.

Its sample coin was first publicly reported in the 30th year of Guangxu (1904). It is known to the world and is regarded as the "first treasure of machine-made coins".

And at a certain auction, the starting price was 15 million, and it was finally sold at a sky-high price of 46 million, setting a new domestic coin auction record, and at the same time, it ranked sixth in the world in terms of coin auction price.

Lin Chuan, on the other hand, wanted to fake "Fengtian Yiliang" to lure Liu Qing into taking the bait.

In the virtual world of "Experience Life", Lin Chuan happened to have faked "Fengtian Yiliang".

As for the other items I bought today, they were just to hide them from others.

After all, if you only search for one coin, you will hit the "Fengtian Yiliang", which is too fake.

Lin Chuan was confident in his counterfeiting skills, so he quickly took out the prepared items and started to fake "Fengtian One Liang".

The little housekeeper was standing by and was amazed!

At night, the bright moon hangs high.

The fraud is coming to an end.

"Old...little landlord, please make an appointment with Mr. Li tomorrow and tell him that you bought some antiques today and ask him to help identify them." Lin Chuan stretched his muscles and said with a smile.

The little renter nodded immediately, took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Mr. Li.

Mr. Li was originally the ‘trustee’ used by Liu Qing.

Now Lin Chuan wants to use Liu Qing's "trust" to set up an antique bureau for Liu Qing, a real scam!
