Chapter 341 Pawnshop

"So, as an excellent collector, not only must we have knowledgeable and talented knowledge and extraordinary ability to identify objects with keen eyes, but most importantly, we must have good character cultivation." Uncle Zhou Fugui said in a summary, "What a pity, now that the world is declining and people's hearts are not as good as ever, it is really difficult to achieve such a situation. Alas!"

That long sigh seemed to be like sighing in everyone's hearts.

In addition, Jia Sidao was reading books and was very engaging. However, when the conversation between A San and others became a little louder, they could still hear a few words. Especially, as the few people were talking, they actually talked about him. Even though Uncle Zhou Fugui and A San were very familiar with him, when they praised him, Jia Sidao still felt a little embarrassed.

So Jia Sidao could only pretend to be attentive and continued to look at his book.

When a few people talked about the topic at first, Jia Sidao closed the "Story of Porcelain" in his hand, walked to Uncle Zhou Fugui, and said, "Uncle Zhou, this book looks quite interesting for me. I think it is necessary to read it carefully and carefully. Look, can it exist on my side for a few days? I will return it after reading it. I will definitely not treat it carefully."

As if she was afraid that Uncle Zhou Fugui would not agree, Jia Sidao added a sentence at the end. This made Uncle Zhou Fugui smile and said, "Okay, okay, okay. Xiao Jia, you borrow the book, how can I not feel at ease."

"Dad, it seems that your baby is also different for different treatments for different people." Ali gave Zhou Fugui a angrily and said, "A while ago, my classmate wanted to lend you this book, but you didn't agree."

"You know how to make trouble." Zhou Fugui patted Ali on the shoulder and said, "Your classmate, I think he is a speculative hawker. He just wants to find some tricks for doing things in my book. Do you think I can lend him such a good book?"

When he saw Ali, he suddenly said nothing. Uncle Zhou Fugui naturally understood that Ali's words just now were just trying to argue with him, and he had no intention of getting angry. The father and daughter still had a tacit understanding.

However, Uncle Zhou Fugui looked at the other young people around him and said earnestly: "Now the world is prosperous like a dream, the world is noisy, people's hearts are floating, and fish and dragons are mixed. To put it bluntly, it is the tide of material desires. It has brought spiritual distortion and cultural aliens to people. At the same time, it has also brought depression, loneliness, and indifference in negative emotions, making people's hearts become restless, vanity and selfish. It is not that I am seeking fame here and wanting to say some warning words, but that our ancient Chinese civilization is indeed being completely baptized and emitting bursts of pain. At my age, I can't be considered old, and when I say young, I can't be considered young anymore. So,"

"Dad, who said you are not young anymore?" Ali muttered on the side.

"Haha, little girl, dad, I am a young man in your eyes, otherwise, why do you always have to argue with dad?" Zhou Fugui's originally serious expression was much more relaxed after Ali interrupted it.

"No," Ali lowered her head and muttered.

"No matter whether it is, it is not possible for me to change this terrible situation." Uncle Zhou Fugui's ears were sharp. Even though Ali's words were very soft, he still heard them. "Of course, I said it too widely. Perhaps, it is not something I can control, but the Chairman said it well. The world belongs to you young people after all. I can't control other people, but the people around me should always promote and remind you more, right?"

"Babababababa." Before Uncle Zhou Fugui finished speaking, A San clapped his applause from the side.

"Uncle Zhou, I really didn't see the gap in your heart in normal times." A San said, "If the second grandfather knew that you had dreams, he would have regretted that he had not taught you well in the early years."

"Haha, I don't have any hatred for the old man." Uncle Zhou Fugui smiled bitterly, even if it was exposed. However, Jia Sidao next to him could be from Uncle Zhou Fugui's words, the relationship between Zhou Fugui and Master Wei's Second Master is probably not that simple, right?

What Zhou Fugui said before, such a saying that he had poor understanding may have come to the point. However, Jia Sidao would not think that this just caused Uncle Zhou Fugui to change to learn to collect jade.

However, if Uncle Zhou Fugui himself didn't say it, A San was also very secretive about such topics. Jia Sidao was not as good as a villain. At this time, we should mention this.

"And, in recent years, I still feel quite happy about the collection of jade." Perhaps it was because of Uncle Zhou Fugui's own preferences and his compliment, and the smile on his face became a little brighter. "You know, I have a few things on hand, but even the old man praised it."

"That's right, that's right." A San gave a flatterer and said, "I don't even look at who you are, Uncle Zhou. Any one entry can make you famous."

"You boy," Uncle Zhou Fugui shook his head slightly when he heard this, "It is not easy to collect this industry, no matter which type it is. In today's society, most people are chasing brilliant appearances, but they rarely pay attention to the emptiness of people's hearts. They are full of smart calculations, impetuous pursuits, and even cheap flatteries, but they forget to be down-to-earth; are some experts in the industry who are also sloppy and unable to vent their own noise and bewitching money?"

Regarding this, not only people in industries like Jia Sidao and A San, but even those like Xiaoqian, who are still confused about antique collections, they nodded slightly. This is not only the antique collection industry, but also in other industries, there are similar situations.

As a general lack of the times, no industry can be completely free from the odor of goods and utilitarian stains. The so-called indifference and destruction of praise and destruction, simple and simple, upholding the purity and tranquility of the heart, and focusing on the natural and natural life has become a rare and unusual phenomenon.

This is not something that a few people can change.

"By the way, Uncle Zhou, what will happen to others, or what will happen to you after entering the collection industry? For the time being, it's not easy to say. It's too far away from novice like us." Jia Sidao said, "Even if it's close, it's just bargaining with the vendors on the Antique Street. Or, just check whether the things you collected are old and whether they are "shot" every time you take action. In fact, these can still be avoided by relying on the growth of your own eyesight and the improvement of your knowledge reserves."

"Indeed, if you collect a line, you should pay attention to it. You should look more and take less." Asan nodded and said.

"So, I wonder, taking advantage of the high interest of Uncle Zhou today, can we tell us about the collection of newcomers and what should we pay attention to?" Jia Sidao looked at Zhou Fugui's rosy face and couldn't help asking, "There is no need to be too profound. Just say something simple and we can use it quickly."

You should know that in-depth knowledge, let alone the young people who were just interested in collecting the group, are also very different from those of the entry-level people like Jia Sidao and A San.

Sometimes, time is a kind of qualification!

Therefore, as soon as Jia Sidao's words fell, the young people next to him naturally looked forward to it. After all, although some of the things Uncle Zhou Fugui said just now were very shocking and also made the people present more alert, they were really too far away.

Not to mention the few presents, even some collectors have no special way to hear such words. This can be improved by saying it. It is really a "general trend"! What's the solution? If you are not in the market, then you will be eliminated.

For those who like to collect, except those who rely on some treasures passed down by their ancestors at home, who doesn’t want the things they collect to become more valuable?

As the saying goes, market demand has created such a situation now. What's more, things like doing old things have existed since ancient times!

"Haha, I don't have anything to say about antique collection." Uncle Zhou Fugui considered it and said, "The most important thing about antique collection is that people have nothing, and things are precious because they are rare. Since Xiao Jia has proposed it, let me tell you a fact. It was during the Cultural Revolution that when the "Destroy the Four Olds" used antique calligraphy and paintings as feudal capital, or smashed or destroyed, an old man Wang from the north who made a living by collecting waste paper was charged for everyone's famous calligraphy and paintings at 25 cents per kilogram, which was almost a free gift.

At that time, his family was very unaware of this move, believing that gold in troubled times and antiques in prosperous times. It was completely inappropriate to collect famous calligraphy and paintings during this time of the Cultural Revolution. In today's opinion, 20 cents and 5 cents were a little less, but at that time, 20 cents and 5 cents were not much, but it was also a expense.

However, Old Man Wang, who has not been studying for a few days and has little culture, believes that in the peaceful and prosperous times, people will remember to collect antique calligraphy and paintings. Then, the price of antique calligraphy and paintings will definitely increase. By then, some famous calligraphy and paintings will not be able to be collected even if you want to.

So, after the end of the Cultural Revolution, he took out a few calligraphy and paintings and made a fortune. For a moment, the story of Old Man Wang became a topic of discussion among people in the antique collection industry.

Speaking of this, I wonder if you guys have any insights?"

"Uncle Zhou, your example is really right." After a moment, Jia Sidao nodded and said, "The most important thing in collecting antiques is that people have nothing to do with me. Moreover, you have to rely on your own interests and hobbies. Anything you like, then you will naturally have the value you like. If you don't like, even if it is of high value, it has no much to do with you. This is not only true in porcelain, but also in jade, calligraphy and painting!"

"It's good." A San nodded and said, "It is precisely because of this that we should be more attentive to the category of interest in. Let's talk about me, because my love for porcelain is quite rich, and my second grandfather is also a fan of porcelain collection. Therefore, when I usually look at the antique street, I usually look at porcelain. As for other things, such as bronzes, calligraphy and painting, they are slightly involved, but not very deep. If I encounter a good quality, I will naturally take it and take a look. If I don't have what I like, I will rarely pay attention to it."

"That, I like porcelain too." The young man next to him was originally looking for any good porcelain and preparing to collect it. At this moment, he was very excited when he heard Ah San's statement. He felt like he had met too late. He quickly walked to Ah San and said, "If you don't dislike it, if you have any good things in the future, let's talk to each other. Look, how about it?"

"Oh, you mean, are you also a porcelain collector?" A San said curiously.

"I can only say that I am still a beginner." The young man said with a smile, "I don't have the surname Zhao and my name is Yun. You can just call me Xiao Zhao directly."

"Haha, you heard it just now, everyone calls me A San." A San is happy to make friends with people of similar age. Especially those who like to collect porcelain. Otherwise, people like Jia Sidao who met A San at a restaurant once would not get along with him soon, right?

"By the way, Xiao Zhao, this is Xiao Jia. Don't look at him as old as us, but his family is very rich. Since Xiao Jia is here this time, it is indispensable, and Xiao Jia needs to treat him." A San pointed at Jia Sidao and said, "Xiao Jia, you shouldn't have any objections, right?"

"You, you really don't mind making a trap for me at all." Jia Sidao shrugged his shoulders and said to Zhao Yun, "If you want to treat you, you need to look at the time, right? Xiao Zhao, I see that you look a little bit arrogant on the Antique Street. Do you rarely come here?"

"Haha, I am not very familiar with this area. However, I recently found a job and worked in the pawn shop at the end of Antique Street. So, in the future, I should gradually become familiar with Antique Street." Zhao Yun said with a smile.

"Pawn shop?" Jia Sidao was stunned, then understood a little, nodded at A San, and the two of them exchanged their eyes. Jia Sidao then said to Zhao Yun, "It turns out that we are still walking together. The people in the pawn shop, that is, the pawn shop, are all good at identifying them in two ways. No wonder you and A San have such similar interests."

"Xiao Jia, what you said is wrong. No matter how I say it, I am not interested in porcelain. This is a very elegant thing." A San curled his lips and said, "Why does it mean that there is a similar smell when you say it from your mouth?"

"Hehe, this is what A San said by yourself." Xiaoqian next to her suddenly made a face at A San. The little girl didn't forget about A San's squeezing her with words just now, "The smell is similar. Hehe."

"Oh, Xiaoqian. You haven't started working for your boss yet. Now, I'm helping Xiaojia? I don't know if your boyfriend will get angry if he knows." As he said that, A San suddenly realized that Xiaoqian's expression was a little wrong, and immediately ran away from where he was standing.

As expected by A San, Xiaoqian reached out and called him. But she was left empty-handed. Naturally, she didn't want to stop. Suddenly, she chased A San and the two started to make a noise. Jia Sidao looked at him, and could only smile and shake his head, and chuckled in a slight sense.

And the other young people next to him may be familiar with Xiaoqian. At this moment, Xiaoqian and A San were chasing each other, so they naturally helped Xiaoqian intentionally or unintentionally. Who made me a girl have such an advantage?

He couldn't help but roll his eyes one by one, and he still called out wantonly: "You guys are actually all about sex over friends. See if I will help you check the porcelain in the future. At that time, I will deliberately tell you that the real thing is fake, and the fake thing is real, I will make you lose all the money."

As a result, the atmosphere between the crowd became more relaxed and freehand.
