Chapter 88 Chapter 088

Liu Yufei's enthusiasm for Shanghai, to be precise, is his enthusiasm for collecting, which obviously exceeded Jia Sidao's expectations. Just as Jia Sidao was in a drowsy sleep, the phone rang melodiously, and he answered it subconsciously.As a result, Liu Yufei rushed from Yangzhou to Shanghai overnight, and was asking Jia Sidao where he lived. Angrily reported the name of the hotel, Jia Sidao smiled brightly.It seems that compared to collectors like Liu Yufei, his enthusiasm for collecting is obviously not active enough.On the contrary, there is even a mentality of being content with whatever happens.The only time to take the initiative to buy, if not for the vested interests, Jia Sidao would not go looking for Mrs. Hong again, right?

However, Jia Sidao naturally thought in his heart, if someone asked him to see the jadeite wool at night, would he rush to see the goods in the middle of the night?After a little thought, there really is such a possibility.Now that I can sleep peacefully, it is nothing more than feeling a little idle. The arrival of Liu Yufei made the hotel room lively.First, he took out the jade pendant that he was obsessed with showing off, and it was really not too different from the Jasper Avalokitesvara worn around Jia Sidao's neck.They are similar in size, and the material and color of jasper are brighter than Jia Sidao's, which is obviously the result of being worn all year round.

"It's a good thing." Jia Sidao played with it for a while and praised it.There are very few black spots among them, and the value should be slightly higher than Jia Sidao's own. "That goes without saying, and I don't even think about who picked it up." Liu Yufei said, with a somewhat smug expression, as if he came here in the middle of the night to show off, just to hear Jia Sidao's appreciation.However, a hint of helplessness appeared on his face immediately. "Okay, don't make a sad face. Isn't it the Moyu birthday star carving? When it dawns, we will go to the Town God's Temple to have a look. Maybe we will find it." Jia Sidao can naturally see the reason. At the moment, some Said a word of reassurance.

"Oh, you don't understand." Liu Yufei sighed and said, "My grandfather's 90th birthday is coming soon, although the whole 'Liu Ji' is said to be created by my father's generation, but it is different from my grandfather's generation. It's not unrelated to people, the initial contacts in the business are all contributed by my grandfather. Therefore, the family members are very filial to the old man. However, a year ago, the old man asked us to find a birthday statue, and he also specified Moyu.But in these years, where can I find black jade materials with good texture and relatively suitable size.My uncle has searched all over Dushan, Hotan, Qinghai, and Liaoyang. The jade material that was transported back to Jieyang alone is nearly a ton, but he still can't find a piece of black jade material that the old man is satisfied with, let alone a good carver. up.

In the first half of the year, I finally pulled out a long one among the short ones, found a piece of mountain material, and asked a Yangzhou carver to do it for three months. The old man took a look and said that it didn't taste that way at all.So, the whole family continued to search, and to this day there is still no hope.When I went to Yangzhou this time, speaking of it, I only heard such news at first.When I got to the ground, I entrusted the relationship, and when I found the seller, yes, I have already made a move, which really depressed me. " "Since everyone has already made a move, it's not a solution for you to be depressed." Jia Sidao replied.However, I was thinking in my heart, how come the people I know are all from family backgrounds.Moreover, the old man is going to celebrate his birthday?

"By the way, since the old man told you, you didn't go to the antique market?" Jia Sidao asked, "Why did you think of going to the Town God's Temple today?" "Who said you didn't go?" Liu Yufei said speechlessly, his eyes widening. "As far away as Panjiayuan in Beijing, and as close as some antique markets in Guangdong, I have spent a lot of effort. I have everything..." "What's going on?" Jia Sidao asked curiously. "I've even been to the underground black market." Liu Yufei said in a low voice, "However, there is nothing to gain."

"Underground black market?" Jia Sidao heard such a term for the first time, "There is also an underground black market in this antique trade? Why does it sound like an underground black boxing?" "You don't know that, do you?" Liu Yufei looked at Jia Sidao's puzzled face, and his mood improved a lot, as if he could transfer his depression to Jia Sidao, "There are many antiques in this business. The things that are not visible are like those that have just been stolen from the tomb, can you sell them in the market?" "That's right." Jia Sidao replied, "Whenever you have a chance, take me to see it?" Jia Sidao was really curious about the black market for antiques.Compared with the ones at the auction, there should be a big difference, right?

"Forget it, you can find someone else." Liu Yufei evaded, "Don't look at me like that, it's useless to look at me, I'm not in this business at all. Although I like to collect some jasper ornaments and so on , but that is just a hobby. Compared with those collectors, my relationship network is still very narrow. Alas!..." As he said that, Liu Yufei sighed, "The reason why I was able to see it last time was because I entrusted a friend to guarantee it. Be careful with these businesses." In the words, there was a lot of meaning to persuade Jia Sidao not to participate.

Jia Sidao naturally understood the danger.However, the so-called taking millet from the fire can only bring huge benefits in danger. Otherwise, the black market of antiques would have no possibility of survival at all.However, since Liu Yufei said so, Jia Sidao could only suppress his curiosity temporarily. In the early morning of the next day, the two arrived at the Town God's Temple. Compared with the antique market in Linhai, both the regional scale and the diversity of things here are undoubtedly much higher.Not to mention the exquisite storefront and antique style.Especially the sense of atmosphere here, even if it is not on weekends, can also make people feel the fun of collecting and the thriving antique market.

This is the bottom line! Jia Sidao sighed inwardly, no matter how you say it, although there is only one word difference in the names of Linhai and Shanghai, apart from that, there seems to be no comparison.Together with Liu Yufei, I went into several shops and looked around casually. There was an ancient charm everywhere, but I kind of forgot my purpose of coming here.Fortunately, there was plenty of time, and the two of them were fine. Even Liu Yufei himself didn't have much hope in his heart, so he would definitely be able to find Mo Yushouxing, right?
