Chapter 1668: Return to Panjiayuan
Lin Ran still remembered that the little girl told him when she entered the store that she was short of money.
I don’t know the specific situation of their family?
However, for an old man’s birthday, family harmony and happiness are actually more important than any valuable antiques.
Lin Ran saw that they were not very old, so they were probably not yet independent.
Especially the little girl, she probably used her pocket money to buy gifts for her grandpa.
Another girl said that they had been cheated before.
Therefore, there is not much money available at this time. As an experienced person, Lin Ran gave his suggestions.
But he thought he was polite and modest and could provide them with an idea.
Unexpectedly, what came back was ridicule.
"So you are the owner of this store!" The girl glared at Lin Ran, "You are blatantly selling fake products, how can you pretend to be a gentleman?"
"Fake? Girl, do you have any misunderstandings about handicrafts and antiques?" Lin Ran smiled slightly.
There's nothing wrong with him now anyway, so he can't let her step on him.
Other customers are still watching. If they misunderstand, the store's business will definitely be affected.
Lu Siyu quickly explained: "Sister Xinyu, please stop talking. I asked him to help buy it for grandpa."
She was so anxious that she almost burst into tears when she saw her sister and her elder brother whom she had invited to help.
Lin Ran touched his chin: "You are not as polite as your sister. Little sister, are you buying handicrafts as a birthday gift for your grandfather? Does he have any preferences?"
Lu Siyu nodded: "My grandfather particularly likes ceramic crafts, so I came to your store."
"Siyu, next week is my grandpa's seventieth birthday. His biggest hobby is collecting antiques. If you buy him some handicrafts, pub just wants to piss him off."
"How could it be possible? Sister Xinyu, at least the price of the handicrafts is clearly marked. Which ones were we deceived by that black-hearted boss in Panjiayuan earlier?" Lu Siyu said anxiously, "If he really brought the fakes to grandpa, he would Really pissed off.”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Xinyu shut her mouth obediently.
It was because she was too confident that she fell into other people's ways.
"It turns out he was deceived." Lin Ran thought to himself.
The two girls seemed to have little social experience, and it was their first time in the capital. They didn't understand that there were indeed many illegal shops in Panjiayuan.
Originally, the antiques industry is all about discernment, without any discernment. In addition, the antiques circle has cutting rules, so if you really buy a fake, you will only suffer a loss.
"Okay, then I'll recommend two models to you." Lin Ran didn't plan to make money from the little girl. There was a hint of Yuan Qianyun in her body. Just for this reason, this favor was enough. .
"No need." After saying that, Lu Xinyu was no more than 21, so he directly grabbed your little girl's hand and dragged her out of the store, leaving the clerks looking at each other.
"Godfather, why don't you let me take care of her?" Yang Jianlong looked at Lu Xinyu's leaving figure and was so angry that his teeth itched.
In this part of the capital, no one has ever dared to come to Shengshi Crafts Store to cause trouble and then escape unscathed.
"It's normal for children to speak inappropriately. There's no need to argue with them." Lin Ran said, "Okay, Jianlong, prepare the documents and I'll go out to do something."
Lin Ran always felt that Lu Xinyu looked very hot-tempered just now and might do hot-headed things.
He didn't care about Lu Xinyu's life or death, but he was still a little worried about Lu Siyu.
After all, she is also filial.
Lin Ran smiled secretly: "That's all, just act as a landlord."
In fact, Lu Xinyu's temper was nothing, at best it was just the temper of a young lady.
Some of the relatives Lin Ran had met before had little money at home, but they all had the same excellent tempers.
I just went out to see what these two girls wanted to do.
If you are just looking for trouble and receive a lesson, you will have a better memory in the future. You must know what it means to be someone who is different from others and who is different from others.
Lin Ran followed quickly and did not see the two girls at the door. They must have taken a taxi and left.
With his understanding of the eldest lady’s temper, they should go to Panjiayuan now.
Without thinking much, he drove directly into his Audi and headed towards Panjiayuan.
Not long after, he arrived at the entrance of Panjiayuan Market, parked his car and stepped into Panjiayuan.
After two years of market development, Panjiayuan’s passenger flow has now grown to a very large volume.
Compared with Liuyunbao City, this place is simply a downtown area.
“Don’t miss it if you’re passing by, the copper coins from the Ming Dynasty! Everything sold here is genuine!”
“The newly collected calligraphy and paintings are all works by masters from the Qing Dynasty!”
"You can choose any fine white jade, and you'll pay ten if you get a fake one!"
I haven't been here in just half a year, and the atmosphere here is completely different.
Nowadays, merchants will take the initiative to stand up and call out, which was absolutely impossible before.
After all, Panjiayuan was actually called a ghost market in its earliest days.
At that time, Panjiayuan was just a remote market. In the late Qing Dynasty, there was no surplus food in the palace.
Therefore, some down-and-out nobles would sell their belongings.
But they are more concerned about face, and it is absolutely impossible for him to come out to set up a stall during the day, so most of the nobles will choose to wear a mask after the sun goes down, take their belongings to Panjiayuan, and sell them openly in the market.
Naturally, they cannot yell like ordinary vendors. They often write a few big characters in front of the stall to represent their identity.
Then put the more precious items in front for everyone to choose.
Because they are all made by noble families, the quality is generally no problem.
At that time, especially for some banner families, according to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, bannermen could only serve as officials and join the army, and did not participate in agricultural production or business activities at all.
It was okay in prosperous times, but in troubled times, their family's financial resources were simply not enough to convert into food and copper coins.
This also led to the fact that in the late Qing Dynasty, most of the nobles went bankrupt and even lived worse than the Han farmers.
They took out valuable things at home just to exchange a few coppers for grain and cloth.
Because I have no experience in business and I can’t let go of my dignity.
So they basically just sell it for money without bargaining, and the transaction process is very quiet.
And because the transaction basically takes place from after the sun sets to before the sun rises, they always keep a straight face and look like goalkeepers.
Therefore, the local people gave Panjiayuan another nickname, called Ghost Market.
Nowadays, there is basically no one in Panjiayuan after 8pm, but the title has been continued.
