Chapter 1954: Sufangzhai?Good name
After dealing with the farce, Lin Ran didn't stay any longer.
Head directly towards the Panjiayuan store area.
In addition to visiting the ghost market at night, he had other business today.
Now that I'm here, of course I want to see if there are any good products.
While it's still early.
Lin Ran began to walk towards the stalls in the depths. The closer to the store area, the less customer flow there was.
Because this happens to be the most remote corner, with only some small shops.
At the entrance of the street, there are only a few small stalls with some antiques and jewelry on them.
I just glanced at it and saw that it was some gadgets.
For ordinary collectors, there may still be some old stuff.
If you're lucky, you might be able to find some bargains at this kind of stall.
However, Lin Ran didn't expect to see good things at the stall now.
It’s not bad if you don’t buy fakes, it’s even better than the products from the handicraft shop.
Of course, Panjiayuan is a well-known flea market in the country. In addition to individual stalls, there are also antique shops.
Walking in from here, you will officially arrive at the outer area of Panjiayuan.
There are no stalls inside, just antique shops.
The prices of items sold in antique shops are much higher than those at stalls.
As the saying goes, if you don't open for half a year, you can only open for half a year.
Everything in the antique shop has been authenticated, such as jade antiques, which can reach the level of rare collectibles.
In terms of price, for ordinary people, it is already sky-high.
Because the price is high, the number of customers will be relatively small.
Most people would rather spend a small amount of money outside to see if they can buy high-quality products and collectibles.
Only rich people will have high quality requirements for products and would not dare to buy casually the things on the stalls.
In order to buy real treasures, they would rather spend more money and buy them directly from antique shops.
Antique shops often mean genuine items.
However, this is not absolute.
Lin Ran had seen fakes here before, and they were packaged as genuine.
But the quality of imitations that can fool antique shop owners is definitely extraordinary, and can even reach the level of replicas that look like real ones.
Most antique shops do not deliberately sell imitations for their own business.
But the level of masters varies, and problems can arise.
That’s why fakes and imitations have the opportunity to enter antique stores.
"Welcome." The owner of an antique shop was drinking tea. When he saw a customer coming in, he quickly stood up to greet him.
"What do you want to buy?" the boss asked diligently.
The shop doesn't look big, with only the owner working there. It's obviously a small shop.
"I'll just take a look." Lin Ran said expressionlessly.
"Okay, you take your time." The boss knew that Lin Ran was a professional when he saw Lin Ran's look.
Such people often come with a purpose, and their own sales will not work.
After experiencing so much, Lin Ran is full of confidence in his current level of treasure appraisal.
Not to mention being arbitrary for the ages, at least there should be few people in the capital who can be his opponent.
Of course, Lin Ran couldn't afford to pay, and it didn't matter even if he was hit in the eye.
Without any special requirements, it seems more casual.
It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, as long as you see the right person.
It's just that Lin Ran went to several antique stores in a row, and the good stuff was in short supply.
He took a fancy to a few items, asked about the price, and gave up after they exceeded his expectations.
There are actually not many antique shop owners who are willing to communicate with Lin Ran.
Most people know Lin Ran's reputation, but only a few people have met him.
Lin Ran didn't know his family name. The antique boss saw that Lin Ran was so young and didn't look like a wealthy owner, so he didn't bother to communicate with him too much.
Walk around.
Lin Ran came to an antique shop in the center of the outer street.
Looking up, the signboard is quite unique.
"Sufangzhai".
Lin Ran couldn't help but think of a TV series, smiled slightly, and then walked into the store.
After walking in, I realized that the size of this antique store was really quite large, and it was very different from the store I entered before.
Surrounded by shelves, various antiques are displayed on them. In addition, there is also a wall hung with various framed calligraphy and paintings, which looks extremely elegant.
This is really a large store, the interior layout is very elegant, and the air is filled with the scent of sandalwood.
It can be seen from the busy staff in the store that this is a long-established store.
The owner is probably a time-honored brand with a lot of money.
Behind the counter facing the door, a man about 50 years old was sitting, wearing a pair of reading glasses, reading a book behind the counter.
When he saw Lin Ran coming in, he just adjusted his glasses and looked at him for a moment.
I don't feel like a big customer, but like a young man who came in to take a look when he was bored.
There were no more words, he just put down the book and looked at Lin Ran.
Some young people have unclean hands and feet, and they are quick in their movements. If they want to steal something, they will not be able to prevent it without taking precautions in advance.
He did not continue reading, but he also did not come out to greet Lin Ran. He just nodded and told Lin Ran to take a look at it.
Lin Ran didn't feel that his boss didn't respect him.
The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, but he prefers this casual atmosphere.
Then he looked around freely.
He has never been to this store before. Lin Ran usually visits century-old stores in inner streets, where both quality and after-sales are guaranteed.
For the shops on the outer streets, I thought most of them would be as mercenary as Boss Wang.
The name of this store seems quite casual. It should refer to "elegance" and "youth", highlighting the high quality and low price, and has nothing to do with the TV series.
After watching for a while, Lin Ran found that this store was much smaller than Tianlexing, but it had a sentence printed on it - although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.
The antiques sold in the store are mainly porcelain, in addition to calligraphy and paintings from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.
Specializing in a certain industry, in the words of later generations, means seizing a market segment.
From Lin Ran's perspective, this store's business is average, but it should be able to make a lot of money.
Especially the items on the shelves, there should be many genuine ones.
However, the genuine product was genuine, but Lin Ran lacked interest.
Because it will be placed on the shelf, the price will definitely not be cheap.
It’s okay to buy it back and collect it, but you don’t have to think about picking up leaks.
But the value of these things to Lin Ran was somewhat mediocre, and they were not suitable for taking home and collecting.
After looking around, he decided that it had no value. When Lin Ran was about to leave, two people walked in from the door of the store.
One male and one female.
The man looks a little fat, has a big gold chain around his neck, and has a bald head.
Dressed like this, you can tell at a glance that he is a wealthy person.
As for the woman next to him, she looked tall and gaunt. Lin Ran thought she looked familiar, but she was wearing sunglasses and a mask.
I don’t know why I cover my face so tightly.
