Chapter 5 Ghost City 2

Although the boss has always been brave, he couldn't help but feel nervous when he came to this strange place. He stretched out his hand to hold Jiahao and stood at the street corner. Obviously he didn't want to go in.

"Boss, you're really weird. You said you wanted to bring me here to see things, but you didn't go in. However, most of these stall holders are grave diggers, and they are more or less infected with the aura of death.

, be careful, don’t let that little devil who died unjustly take away your soul.”

Jiahao knew that although his boss was bold, he was usually afraid of ghosts and gods. He deliberately said words to scare him from behind. Dou Qingling just accepted this trick and grabbed Jiahao's clothes tightly, unwilling to say anything.

Go ahead.

Jiahao was dumbfounded by his boss. He is now eager to get in, because according to common sense, it is generally impossible to have a ghost market in a big city like Xi'an. It is probably only a few times a year. Those from all over the country are playing antiques.

Only people will gather here.

You must know that antiques and jade are interconnected. Many jade dealers are often antique collectors and are also a relatively powerful group of people in the antique collecting circle. Therefore, antique "ghosts" from all over the country will be there.

Concentrate on this place at this time.

As the elders said on the phone, the identities of these people are very complicated. It is not unusual for some people to dig up graves. It is often in the hands of these people that some high-quality antiques appear.

.

No, there is a god three feet above your head, and the gate of hell has not been closed for long. I'm going back today, you can go shopping by yourself,"

Since the eldest brother watched the Hong Kong version of the "Fang Shiyu" series of movies, he doesn't remember anything other than learning this. At this moment, looking at the silent and shadowy street in front of him, he still retreated.

"Okay, boss, then you should go back first, but I won't go back. As the saying goes, ghosts are afraid of crowds, so be careful when you go back to the hotel by yourself..."

The boss of the wealthy family was too lazy to let his ink go down, and after saying that, he walked towards the Jade Street. When the sun comes out and the fog dissipates, this ghost market will probably have to close its stalls. He continues to see if he can pick up the missing items.

After hearing what Jiahao said, the boss trembled all over. He looked back at the deserted streets on the way, his face changed, and he quickly followed him and said, "No, wait for me, I'll just follow you."

In fact, the mist is very thin. From a distance, it seems hazy. But when you get closer, you can still see very clearly between people, and it does not affect your vision at all. The boss followed closely behind Jahao, and arrived.

Just like what the elders in the family said, people passing by still smell like earth.

The boss made up his mind to stay with Jiahao for a while, and hurriedly told Jiahao the so-called rules that the old man told him. "By the way, my old man also told Jiahao, ###, you have taken a fancy to something. Don't take it lightly.

Just ask the price. This place is different from ordinary markets. As long as you ask the price, just wait to be ripped off." The boss walked in front and turned around to whisper to Jiahao.

“How can you buy something without asking the price?”

Jiahao asked with some confusion. They had passed three stalls at this moment. They all sold finished jade, stone pendants and other things. Jiahao was not very interested in these and specialized in looking at jade in the ghost market in Xi'an.

, Stone Jade, isn’t that sick? If you want to buy jade, wait until daytime when it’s all over the streets.

After Jiahao listened to what the boss said, he observed carefully and found that no one was talking in front of the stalls he just passed by, whether they were buying or selling.

"For an object, these sellers will often give several prices. If you ask but don't buy it, if others hear it, the seller will rely on you and say that you leaked the reserve price. This is also a rule passed down by the elders.

, but having said that, you can still negotiate the price without opening your mouth to speak. Just watch the actions of those people and you will know."

The boss was talking and stopped in front of a stall. This was an antique stall. The three-meter-square stall was filled with bronzes, porcelain, rare ancient books, some copper coins, knives, coins, and jade.

Not much, just a few ornaments that looked a bit like ancient jade, placed in the middle of the stall.

"Hey, although this guy is not old, he is an expert. Come and have a look. If you like it, I will give you a cheaper price."

The stall owner heard what the boss said, and he grinned. In the antique business, you are not afraid of meeting sensible people. The more sensible people are, the easier it is to pay tuition. The ghost market is a place where discernment is really important.

There are so many people picking up people in places like this for no apparent reason.

When the stall owner spoke, he deliberately lowered his tone, and his voice was probably that of a veteran. He wanted to maintain the mystery of the ghost market.

In an environment like a ghost antique market, many people tend to have some biases in their minds when looking at the antiques all over the street, and unconsciously think that these objects are real. In fact, the probability of genuine and rare items among these things is, although

It's a bit higher than the antique markets in various cities, but nine out of ten items are fake. It would be great to have an authentic item on one of the stalls.

"Boss, those people are holding hands with each other, are they negotiating the price?"

The eldest brother followed Jiahao and talked, and his courage became stronger. Jiahao looked around and let him see some tricks.

"right,"

The boss nodded without explaining much. According to the old man in his family, this method of bargaining was passed down from ancient times. In the past, wealth was not disclosed. The transaction price of an object was kept confidential by both the buyer and the seller, so it was clear.

This method of negotiating prices.

However, in ancient times, people wore clothes with large sleeves. When using gestures to negotiate prices, the sleeves could cover the hands and outsiders could not see them. However, now it is just a formality for the occasion. Even if this method is used,

When it comes to price negotiation, a thoughtful person can still tell from the gestures.

"###, you watch here, I'll go take a look around"

The boss also became interested in Taobao. He excitedly turned around and went to another stall. This is the charm of the ghost market. Even if you don’t know anything about antiques, in this environment, you will have a sense of missing out on Taobao.

Psychologically, it's like going to a food court and looking at the delicacies and snacks. Even if you're not hungry, your index fingers will move. It's the same principle.

Jiahao squatted in front of a stall on the ground and stopped moving. He was not afraid that the boss would suffer a loss. Jiahao knew that the boss's family was engaged in business. Although he didn't understand antiques, when doing business with a small pair, it was just a matter of hearing and seeing, and he would definitely not

What a loss.

"Boss, the imitations you have here are really amazing."

Jiahao's legs were a little numb when he was squatting. He looked at all the objects that were relatively close to him. What disappointed him was that there was no interesting thing and he didn't use the comment star at all.

Jiahao can tell the difference between technology detectors. After all, he majored in archeology. However, you can’t say this falsely, otherwise others will be jealous of you.

"Young man, this is a foreign language, isn't it? You can only look at the things in the ghost market and tell them whether you want to buy them or not. You better go ahead and don't give them away."
