I am a nobleman in England

In addition to the financial reasons, there is also the lack of vision and fear of buying fakes. Don't think that the price is clearly marked. The boss sincerely introduces the age and story of the antique and thinks it is true.

When visiting the antique market, anyone who doesn't want to buy real products is actually at greater risk of counterfeiting.You must know that if you have benefits, there will be rivers and lakes. It is precisely because too many people think that what they buy overseas is genuine, that foreigners are more honest than the Chinese, and that foreigners will not deceive, precisely because too many people are With this understanding, there is also a huge profit margin for fakes.

In Arthur’s previous life, he heard some old people in the circle talk about it. At the end of the last century and the beginning of this century, a certain town found that foreigners were cheating. The antique porcelain produced in a certain town was particularly easy to sell overseas and was dozens of times more expensive than in China. Some "smart" people from a certain town went abroad one after another to sell local antique porcelain in batches. For a while, because there were too many people applying for going abroad, there were long queues in places where visas went abroad...

Therefore, Arthur was extremely careful in buying porcelain. After all, leaks are not so easy to pick up. No one who opens the door to do business is a fool. There are people with good antiques in his hands. Who doesn't want to go to the auction house to get their own. baby?

If you buy fakes, even if you only spend a few hundred yuan, you are deceived. If you spend a lot of money and buy fakes, you will be deceived!

Don’t be fooled by the news about the auction of high-priced antiques sold overseas in the news of XX. The whole world is the same in the face of interests. In fact, many stories are well made up of deceitful overseas interest groups. What is the old collection of Earl XX? Yeah, there are only two pieces in the world, etc. They are actually lies carefully fabricated by sellers to sell at sky-high prices. If you believe it, you have been fooled. If you buy at sky-high prices, you are in the middle of the game.

Hey, thinking about it this way, why did I forget the halo bonus of my earl title and family reputation?

Standing in front of a pair of gilt powder celadon vases, Arthur looked at the pair of exquisite vases with scorching eyes, and the shop owner’s introduction came in his ear: "... This is during the period of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. Look at these bottles. The inlays of the mouth and handle are made by 18th century craftsmanship, copper, completely handmade, engraved, and gilded. These features all prove that this was made by European aristocrats back then. I am from a nobleman. I received it there..."

Arthur looked back at the shop owner with a smile, nodded and said, "Very beautiful. Can you take it out for me to see?"

"Of course, wait a minute--"

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

"Look at—"

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

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

"please--"

Arthur grasped the mouth of the bottle with one hand and the body with the other. He turned the bottle over and glanced at the bottom of the seal. The bottom of the blue square seal script indicated that the'Dai Qing Qianlong Years' was correct.

To be honest, he has really seen this style of vase in his previous life. In a private museum, this is a typical custom-made export porcelain. The 18th century was a period of collision between Chinese and Western cultures. The Europeans and Americans were very familiar with the porcelain from the Celestial Dynasty. Obsession and love led to the flow of a large number of artworks to Europe. These exquisite artworks not only brought them a feeling of beauty, but in the eyes of Europeans at the time, they could also bring them knowledge and even luck.

The smile on Arthur’s face became brighter and brighter. Although he could not finally determine the authenticity of this pair of vases, it was exquisite enough and basically intact. He smiled and carefully put down the vase in his hand, then picked up the other one and took a closer look. Look, and after putting it down, smiled and said to the boss: "Can you get a discount?

"This..." The shop owner frowned slightly, and after looking at Arthur and Emilia, his gaze finally fell on the straight figure standing. After entering the door, he didn't say a word, just followed them silently. Butler Paul, who had always kept a faint smile on his face, pondered, and finally said, "9.5% off."

"4750 pounds, OK, happy cooperation!" Arthur smiled unsulliedly and stretched out his hand to shake hands with the other party.

After that, the money is paid, boxed, and the transaction contract is signed.

The original price was £5,000, but two vases were sold for £4,750. As soon as Emilia, who had been holding back questions, left the shop, she began to hold Arthur’s hand and asked: "My dear, are you impulsive? Now, in case this is..."

"Hehe, don't worry, dear, believe me, I say they are real, even if they are fake, they are real, not to mention that they are not fake..." Arthur reached out and looked worried Emily. Ya, smiled and soothed. When he saw the similar pair of vases in his previous life, the museum explainer had said that this kind of bottle was also available in the Metropolitan Museum of America, but that was a vase with two ears and two handles.

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

The earl and noble family for hundreds of years has an orderly heritage and a deep heritage. He can say whatever he likes, right?

Looking at Emilia who was still worried, Arthur couldn't help but smile: "Well, don't think about it so much. Whether it's true or not, I like this pair of vases very much. Like it more than anything, right? "

Hearing Arthur's words, Emilia stopped struggling, shook her head and chuckled helplessly, and said softly, "Your reason is really powerful!"

"Hehe, okay, let's go to the flea market over there. To be honest, only in the flea market will you really have the fun of Taobao." Arthur smiled happily and tightened Emily in his arms. Ya said.

"Ok."

Southampton’s largest flea market was originally a fruit and vegetable market.In the early 1950s, more and more businessmen took a fancy to this treasured geomancy place. Every Saturday they came here to trade. There were as many as 1,000 trading booths. European silverware, ancient porcelain, antique cameras were here. , Jewelry and other all-encompassing, it is a veritable treasure hunter's paradise.

In fact, whether it is the United Kingdom, the United States, or the Celestial Kingdom, just like any antique market, when it comes to the market, you have to test your eyesight.Because, due to the development of information, it is becoming more and more difficult to "picking up leaks", because people with genuine antiques in their hands can easily find out whether their treasure is genuine or fake, and thus treat the real baby as a fake The chance of selling the goods at a lower price is getting smaller and smaller.

Of course, I can't say enough. There are always opportunities. For example, now, Arthur is walking, stopping in front of a booth, and squatting down...
