In addition to the financial reasons, there is also the fact that you don’t have enough eyesight and are afraid of buying fakes. Don’t think that the price is clearly marked. The boss sincerely introduces the era and stories of the antiques and thinks that it is true.

When visiting the antique market, no one wants to buy real ones. In fact, the risk of fakes is greater. You should know that there will be a world of things with interests. It is precisely because too many people think that the real ones they buy overseas are genuine, thinking that foreigners are more honest than the Chinese, and thinking that foreigners will not lie. It is precisely because too many people have this understanding that there is huge profit margin for fakes.

Arthur had heard some old people in the circle talk about it in his previous life. At the end of the last century and the beginning of this century, a town found that foreigners were easy to cheat. The antique porcelain produced in a town was particularly easy to sell overseas and dozens of times more expensive than in China. So, the "smart" people in a town went abroad to sell local antique porcelain in batches. For a time, because there were too many people applying for overseas visas, there were long queues all night long...

Therefore, when it comes to buying porcelain, Arthur was extremely careful. After all, leaks are not that easy to pick up. No one who opens the door to do business is a fool. He has a good antique in his hands. Who wouldn't want to go to the auction house to sell his own treasures?

If you buy a fake product, even if you only spend a few hundred yuan, you will suffer a loss. If you spend a huge amount of money to buy a fake product, you will suffer a great loss and suffer a great loss!

Don’t be fooled by the news of the auction of antiques sold overseas in XXX news. It’s the same in the world in the face of interests. In fact, many stories about overseas interest groups are well-written, such as the old collection of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Tsk, after thinking about it this way, how could I forget the halo bonus of my Count and family reputation?

Arthur, standing in front of a pair of gilded pink and green glaze vases, looked at the pair of exquisite vases with a bright look, and the shop owner's introduction came from his ears: "...This was from the time of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. Look at the inlay of these bottles and handles, which were made of 18th century craftsmanship, copper, completely handmade, engraved, and gilded. These characteristics prove that this was customized by European nobles back then. I collected this pair of vases from a nobleman..."

Arthur looked back at the shop owner with a smile, nodded and said, "It's very beautiful. Can you take it out and see it?"

"Of course, you wait"

When the boss happily opened the glass cabinet and took the things, Emilia beside him looked at Arthur curiously and raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she was about to ask something, but was interrupted by Arthur smiling and shaking her head.

"Please see"

The boss put two vases on the counter, handed Arthur a magnifying glass, and signaled with a smile.

"Can I pick it up and take a look?" Arthur asked with a smile.

"please"

Arthur grabbed the bottle mouth with one hand and the body with the other, flipped the bottle over and took a look at the bottom, the blue square seal script base, "made in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty" is correct.

To be honest, he had actually seen this type of vase in his previous life. In a private museum, this was a typical custom-made export porcelain. The 18th century was a period of collision between Chinese and Western cultures. Europeans and Americans were very obsessed with and loved the porcelain of the Celestial Empire, which led to a large number of artworks flowing to Europe. These exquisite artworks not only brought them a sense of beauty, but also brought them knowledge and even luck in the eyes of Europeans at that time.

Arthur's smile became brighter and brighter. Although he could not finally determine whether the vases were authentic or not, they were exquisite enough and were basically intact. He smiled and carefully put down the vase in his hand, picked up another one and looked carefully, then put it down, and said to the boss with a smile: "Can you get a discount?

"This..." The shop owner frowned slightly, looked at Arthur and Emilia, and his eyes finally fell on the straight standing. After entering the door, he didn't say a word, but followed the two of them silently, with a light smile on his face. He pondered for a while, and finally said, "95% off."

"4750 pounds, ok, happy cooperation!" Arthur smiled without any hesitation and reached out to shake hands with the other party.

Then you pay the money, pack it, and sign a transaction contract.

The original price was 5,000 pounds, and finally two vases were sold for 4,750 pounds. This made Emilia, who had been holding on to the problem, start to hold Arthur's hand and ask: "Dear, are you a little impulsive? If this is..."

"Haha, don't worry, my dear, believe me, I say they are real, even if they are fake, it's real, not to mention that they don't look like fakes..." Arthur reached out to emilia with a worried look on his face and comforted her with a smile. When he saw the similar vase in his previous life, the museum's tour guide said that there was also one of these bottles at the Metropolitan Museum of America, but that was a vase with both ears and hands.

Five thousand pounds are really not expensive, and no matter whether the vases are genuine or fake, when he brought back to Bolin Manor and placed on the cabinet, the fake one is also real!

The Count and Noble family for hundreds of years has an orderly inheritance and a profound heritage. He can say whatever he likes, right?

Looking at Emilia who was still worried, Arthur couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, don't think so much. Whether it's true or false, I like this pair of vases very much. Like is more important than anything else, isn't it?"

Hearing Arthur say this, Emilia no longer struggled, shook her head helplessly and chuckled, and said softly: "Your reason is so powerful!"

"Haha, okay, let's go to the flea market there to see. To be honest, only in the flea market can you really have the fun of Taobao." Arthur smiled happily, and Emilia, who tightened her arms, said.

"Um."

Southampton's largest flea market was originally a fruit and vegetable market. By the early 1950s, more and more merchants took a fancy to this Feng Shui treasure land and came here to trade every Saturday, with as many as a thousand trading stalls. Here, European silverware, ancient Chinese porcelain, antique cameras, jewelry, etc. are all-encompassing, and it is a true Taobao paradise.

In fact, whether it is the UK, the United States, or the Celestial Empire, just like in any antique market, you have to test your eyesight when you come to the market. Because, due to the development of information, it is becoming increasingly difficult to "find a bargain", because people with real antiques can easily find out whether their treasure is real or fake. Therefore, the chance of selling real treasures as fakes is getting smaller and smaller.
