Chapter 1151: Yunzhou Trading Market
The next day, because of the appointment she had made with Luo Yu yesterday, Lin Ran came downstairs and soon saw Luo Yu driving up.
They are going to the antique market together today.
As a world trade center, Yunhai City's commercial streets are extremely prosperous, but the number of antique markets is very small.The more famous one is Yunzhou Trading Market.
Handicrafts, antiques, jade and other artworks from all over the country are gathered here. The prices are very high, and many people like to set up stalls to sell some things here.
The number of antique dealers in Yunhai is not fixed, and they are not usually very popular.
But since there are not many places to go, it seems a bit crowded.
The specialty products of antique markets in Unkai City are also different from those in other cities.
For example, when Lin Ran and the others arrived at the door, they saw several middle-aged women in gorgeous clothes gathered in front of a stall and chatted quietly.
Most of the stalls at the Yunzhou Trading Market are set up by collectors themselves, all of whom provide part of their collections to supplement their family income.
As a private collection, the chance of missing something is also greater.
"Xiao Su, these stamps are too expensive. I don't think you should buy them."
"Boss, more than 1 sets of these stamps have been issued. You actually want to sell them for 100 yuan. You are too bold!"
"Yes, at most 50 yuan."
Despite the chirping of the three women, the stall owner said reluctantly: "You think too much, don't dream about it for less than 100 yuan."
Here are the ways to speak.In their own words, they are "old eggs".
We are all from Yunhai, so no one should look down on the other.
He was not used to the aunts in front of him.
Walking along the entrance, there are loud haggling sounds everywhere.
Luo Yu looked proud, "Is the antique trading market in Yunhai City different from the capital city?"
"A bit." Lin Ran smiled, "I have never seen an antique market so lively."
There were not many people, but the voices were extremely loud.
Today I finally saw it.
"I think they should be equipped with a referee, otherwise they will never be able to compete." Guan Yun said, he saw the core of the problem.
Everyone feels that they are justified, but they lack a basis for judgment.
But fortunately, most people just talk about the matter and don't rise to the level of personal attacks.
Lin Ran took a casual look and saw that there were more than twice as many people selling stamps at stalls here as in the capital.
Stamps are a rare commodity in this era.
First, I wanted to communicate with people far away. Now there are only two methods: long-distance phone calls and writing letters.
Long-distance calls are expensive, and you can't say more than a few words before hanging up.
On the contrary, many unspeakable things can be said in letters.
No wonder, from the 80s to the early 2000s, the world was dominated by literati.
With good expression skills, you can better convey your thoughts and easily impress the other party.
In the Internet age, people can express their opinions through pictures, expressions, and even words.
While it is more intuitive, it also makes people lose part of their ability to express themselves.
Each era has its advantages and disadvantages. Lin Ran looked at the merchant selling stamps and couldn't help but recall this period of history.
The magazines I read when I was a kid often talked about ways to make money by recycling newspaper clippings and stamps.
Now that I think about it, it should be a trick that newspapers and stamp issuers came up with to tell others that there is money to be made here, and then attract people to invest.
The origin of this financial concept in the mainland is Yunhai City, which shows that Yunhai City attaches great importance to marketing.
"If you don't buy it, you won't make much money."
"If you don't want to buy it, don't buy it. I won't send it away."
The few people at the door finally failed to discuss business. Their voices were so loud that Lin Ran turned around and heard the sound about 100m inside.
Lin Ran couldn't help but find it interesting when he thought about how they were bargaining just now.
This is the fireworks of Yunhai City.
They continued along the trading market and soon came to the stairs.
There is a sign on the stairs going down that the road ahead is under maintenance, please do not pass.
Luo Yu took Lin Ran directly downstairs.
"Isn't there road construction here?" Lin Ran looked at the road sign and became suspicious.
"Actually, this is an underground market and outsiders are not welcome."
Luo Yu has actually only been here two or three times, but after coming once, he was extremely impressed.
Because there are more antique shops in the underground mall, the number of stalls has been significantly reduced.
We walked along the downward steps for a while. As mentioned, there were many potholes and it was easy to step on them.
If you accidentally reach the edge, you are in danger of falling.
While Guan Yun was holding on to the wall, he reminded Lin Ran to pay attention to safety. He also suspected Luo Yu's intentions.
But after passing through the darkest section of the road, I saw other pedestrians at the end.
These passers-by were well dressed and did not look like construction workers.
And even though this section of road is full of potholes, there are no maintenance personnel.
Luo Yu said: "You can go to the underground trading shop through the front door. In the antique market of Yunhai City, there are many people trading stamps, and there are also calligraphy, painting and jade."
After all, Luo Yu has lived in Yunhai City for a long time. He explained experiencedly: "The geographical environment of Yunhai City is different from that of the capital. There is no need to worry about the ventilation problem in the basement. Build the trading market underground, and take waterproof measures on the outside. No matter what happens inside, It won’t get wet even if it’s windy or rainy, it can keep the climate dry, and it’s suitable for preserving calligraphy and paintings.”
"Last month I heard that someone found Tang Bohu's calligraphy and paintings here, and they were not made public."
"After he bought the calligraphy and painting, he gave the appraisal result, which instantly spread throughout the market and made the underground trading market famous in Yunhai City."
Tang Bohu’s calligraphy and painting?
Lin Ran thought of Mr. Qin's birthday party some time ago. The calligraphy and paintings presented by Ma Zhen were Tang Yin's original works.
Is this all just a coincidence?
"But I don't think the credibility is very high. Yunhai people are particularly good at marketing. They may just find stories made up by literary and artistic young people in order to increase market visibility."
Lin Ran smiled and didn't mention Ma Zhen.
In fact, what he said makes sense. There are too many legendary stories about the antique market.
Most of today's collectors have some experience.
If you want to find the authentic works of Tang Bohu, it would have been more than ten years ago when everyone took out some calligraphy and paintings and sold them at a low price in order to protect themselves.
He was not sure where Ma Zhen got Tang Bohu's calligraphy and painting, and dared not make a conclusion.
"Speaking of which, collecting old coins is also a trend in Yunhai's trading market."
They walked around the underground market for a while.
This is a true underground market, full of a shady feel both in terms of location and the items sold there.
