In fact, Jiahao naturally thought of this just now, but in this case, he would rather believe it or not. If it is true, wouldn't it be possible to pass by good things and trade?

Antiques are inherently risky, it’s just a question of how big the risk is.

"That's true." The boss sneered, "The few leaks you picked up before were still big leaks. This small amount of money is nothing, right? Have you ever considered your parents and family? I'm not saying,

The old couple must not be willing to spend the 30,000 yuan you sent back last time. They must be saving it for you. Don't think that you start to be arrogant just because you have two yuan. Don't let me look down on you."

"Yes, ###, we are all children from poor families. I was really frightened when I saw you buying that thing. That was fifteen thousand, not one and a half yuan. You have to know that fifteen thousand

One yuan is enough for your family to spend for a year. Sigh~" The third child also joined in next to him, and sighed after finishing speaking.

"Boss, I understand. I've been a little too smooth lately, and I've gotten a little carried away. I'm sorry, but I won't be like this again." Jiahao also felt it.

A few people walked away, and not long after, two people walked towards them, one of them was Lin Haitao.

The man walking next to Lin Haitao, Jiahao, had never seen him before. He was a young man of similar age to them. He was of medium build, with long hair and a mustache, and small eyes, but he was relatively handsome.

"Brother Yao, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Lin Haitao walked up and said with a smile, "Let me introduce you first, this is my brother, Dewey. Haha, you can tell by his appearance that he is engaged in art.

, but I used to study sports. Xiaowei, they are my friends from the antique shop, Jiahao and Brother Dou. This friend is not simple, he has a very good eyesight and has found a lot of treasures!"

"Hello. It's an honor to meet you." Dewey extended his hand to He Qing and others politely, shaking hands and saying hello.

After everyone met and got to know each other, the third child suddenly said casually: "Haitao, when you were not here just now, Jiahao bought something. It is a sculpture of bamboo, wood, tooth horns, etc. It is in pretty good condition. I heard it is

It's made of bison horn, but I think it's a bit expensive, I don't know what you think."

"Oh, really?" After hearing what the third child said, Lin Haitao immediately became interested, so he quickly asked He Qingdao: "Brother Yao, what good thing is it?"

"Oh, I don't know how it is yet. I feel good about myself." Jiahao replied.

"Can you take it out and show it to me?" Lin Haitao became curious and said, "Brother Yao, you always pick up good things without saying a word. You can even take out the large blue and white jars from the blank period of the Ming Dynasty.

What else can’t you afford?”

"Of course, it's nothing." He Qing Jiahao nodded and agreed without hesitation. Since the third child mentioned it, let's show it to the other party as soon as possible, so that he can take care of it, so that he can feel at ease in his heart.

Get settled as soon as possible.

Jiahao still trusts Lin Haitao's eyesight, and he feels relieved to have him help with the appraisal.

However, Jiahao did not show the things immediately, but said to Lin Haitao and the others: "Brother Lin, let's find a place to sit down and watch. Are you thirsty? How about we go get some drinks?"

This place is bustling with people, and as the saying goes, "wealth is not revealed," if the item is a treasure and is discovered by other people passing by, it may cause unnecessary trouble.

"Well, okay." Lin Haitao nodded and agreed.

Then a few of them found an ice bar near the exit of Temple Street and walked in.

"Brother Lin, this is it." After sitting down and ordering drinks, Jiahao carefully took out the rhinoceros horn carving and placed it on the table for Lin Haitao and the others to appreciate.

"Hey, this is the ancient 'helpless wine glass'!"

When he saw it, Lin Haitao was surprised and said excitedly: "Brother Yao, yes! This thing is good. How much did you buy it for just now?!"

"Fifteen thousand." Jiahao replied, "Boss, they said it's a bit expensive, what do you think?"

"It's not expensive!" Lin Haitao shook his head without thinking, and said, "What good things can you buy for fifteen thousand now? This thing is probably very old. It is an ancient drinking utensil."

"Oh, that's it?" Jiahao said suddenly, "Brother Lin, what's the meaning of the wine glass? What's the term? I don't know much about this kind of thing, and I haven't seen it much before."

Lin Haitao explained in detail: "Wei Nai He is also called 'Wei Nai He'. This is a form of wine glass. It is made from the front tip of an animal horn. The bottom is pointed and cannot be put down. The wine can only be drank in one go."

It’s all gone, so it’s called ‘nothing can be done’. Do you understand now? What an image! Brother He, can you get your hands on it and take a closer look?”

Jiahao hurriedly said: "Why not?! Brother Lin, why are you being polite to me? What kind of animal do you think this horn is made of? Is it from a bison?"

He tentatively asked about the situation, but Lin Haitao did not answer immediately. Instead, he carefully picked up the animal horn cup and inspected it in detail.

Lin Haitao's face changed more and more as he looked at it. Later, when he saw that his face turned slightly red, he seemed to have become very excited.

I saw that in addition to looking, he also touched with his hands, smelled with his nose, and even tasted with his mouth.

In the end, his eyes were solemn and his face looked thoughtful.

"Brother Yao, it's a good thing, a great thing!" Finally, Lin Haitao spoke, and said in a very excited tone, "This is not an ordinary bison horn, but a rhino horn. Yes, it must be an Asian rhino horn! This mouthful

But the carvings on the cup are also exquisite and valuable! Brother Yao, congratulations, you missed it again. The thing you collected for less than 20,000 yuan turned out to be a very old rhinoceros horn wine cup. This is not a small thing.

leak!!"

"Brother Lin, is this made of rhinoceros horn?" Jiahao asked in surprise.

He pretended not to know anything about it, but in fact, he knew the material of the thing even before he saw it, and he also knew where the rhino horns were collected from.

"Yes!" Lin Haitao nodded heavily, "Brother Yao, rhino horns are very different from ordinary bison horns! In addition to its special texture, rhinoceros horns are also a very valuable Chinese medicinal material, and are more expensive than gold, so they are used

A complete thing carved from Asian rhinoceros horn is naturally a very good treasure, not to mention your carving that looks very skillful and elegant. It is really a beautiful old handicraft! If you use it to drink alcohol,

It not only increases the owner’s worth, but is also beneficial to the body. Long-term use can prolong life, so it is perfect to give to the elderly!”

After a pause, Lin Haitao continued: "As we all know, rhinoceros horns, like ivory, are extremely valuable items, and this old antique wine glass, look at its appearance, is extremely beautiful, and its carver must be a highly skilled person.

Craftsman. The simplest thing is, think about it, who is so luxurious that a novice would waste a good thing? Therefore, it is helpless that the rhinoceros horn cup has always been a treasure that collectors pursue with great concentration. The vintage is in the Ming Dynasty or the early Qing Dynasty, and it can be seen

You are so lucky to find something in such good condition! Brother He, congratulations again! You picked up a good thing!"

"Oh, really? So, I spent fifteen thousand yuan and it was worth it." Jiahao exhaled. On the surface, he was still relatively calm, but in his heart, he was already happy. Listening to Lin Haitao

As soon as he said that, the value of the rhinoceros horn wine glass in front of him suddenly skyrocketed, and the future was bright.

"It should be said that it is well worth the money!" Lin Haitao replied solemnly, "I have rarely seen such a perfect rhino horn sculpture. Brother Yao, please put your things away first. I will ask you later.

, let’s see how the market for this kind of horn cup is going now.”

"Well, thank you for that." Jiahao replied happily. Lin Haitao helped him find out the price of the rhinoceros horn wine glass. He couldn't ask for more. After all, he is just an antique dealer now. After buying something, what will he do next?

What you focus on is finding a suitable buyer and selling the item at a better price.

He Qing then put the horn cup away, and he was overjoyed at this moment.

"Jiahao, I really didn't expect that." At this time, the third child, who was sitting directly opposite Jiahao, said happily, "So this thing is so good! I underestimated you. You never told us the truth. In fact,

You have great discernment, are you an old expert? Why didn’t I notice it? "

"Hey, no!" Jiahao quickly shook his head and said, "Why am I lying to you? I really just learned how to collect, and it's not like you don't know. I've been lucky recently and picked up a few pretty good things.

"

"Brother Yao is so humble." Lin Haitao said with a smile.

Suddenly, Jiahao became unfathomable in his eyes. If he picked up leaks once or twice, it could be understood as good luck, but in this short period of time, Jiahao had already picked up the leaks.

I've done it several times, and it's almost always a big mistake. Who can believe that a person with such a strong eye is still just a novice?

After the few of them chatted and laughed for a while, they drank some drinks at the ice bar, then got up and walked out together.

After walking out of the ice bar, they walked straight towards the food street near the Chenghuang Temple. This time, Jiahao wanted to treat Lin Haitao and the others to dinner, and now it was time for Chinese food. They were just in time to attend the food festival. Everyone, please wait.

You can have a good meal now.

However, before they had taken a few steps, several people suddenly rushed past them on the right front, and they were rushing towards Jiahao and the others, each one with a fierce momentum.

"It's him, it's him!" shouted a familiar voice, "the thing is in his hand!"

"Jiahao, what's wrong, the boss who sold you the rhinoceros horn cup just now seems to be chasing you. I'm afraid he wants his things back!" Lao Si greeted in a low voice.

Jiahao suddenly frowned, and he also noticed the middle-aged man in a red vest. At this time, the man came to him angrily, and what else could he do besides asking for the valuable helpless wine glass back.

This was something he never expected. Unexpectedly, the other party went back on his promise and did not follow the rules of the antique business at all.
