Chapter 7: No.007 Zhang Lingnan Antique City
All his assets, more than 2,000 yuan, are stored on WeChat.
Ye Chen did not leave for the sports center immediately.
After all, the concert doesn't start until 8pm.
In the previous life, those fanatical fans also spent a lot of money to buy the expensive tickets after eight o'clock.
So it would be of no use if we went there now.
I didn't go to the sports center.
Ye Chen turned his attention to Lingnan Antique City.
There, similar to Panjiayuan in Beijing,
They are all of the same nature, filled with all kinds of antique objects.
Of course, they are called antiques, but most of them are fakes that have been processed in the modern era and are used to deceive people and make a killing.
However, the reason why the antique city has been able to survive through decades of history is that it is obviously not full of fakes and forgeries, but there are still some truly overlooked treasures. At least from time to time, there are people who pick up bargains there and buy things that are worth the money.
In the past, Ye Chen had been to the antique city quite a few times, but he always went there with the hope of getting rich overnight.
Unfortunately, the result is that he has become the real sucker time and time again.
But this time, it's different!
With sixty years of prophetic memory, in that sharp memory of every detail
He remembered that in his previous life, someone had found a chance to make 16 times the money with 30,000 yuan in the antique city, and that lucky person was his gambling buddy at the gambling table.
Unlike him, that gambler was in a similar situation to him at the beginning, both of them were half dead and carrying gambling debts that could kill them at any time, but he couldn't resist the smoke from his ancestors' graves. He got several million from the demolition and not only paid off his gambling debts, but also picked up a bargain of 480,000 yuan with 30,000 yuan when wandering around the antique city!
It is said that when he was paying, people around him looked at him with strange eyes. After he paid and took the things, he immediately heard the sellers at other stalls shaking their heads and laughing in low voices: "Stupid idiot, a sucker!"
At that time, he knew that he must have been fooled, but it was impossible to return the goods.
He left the antique city in anger and was about to throw away the Buddhist beads bracelet when a middle-aged man who was about to enter the antique city suddenly stopped him. He first asked him to take a look at the Buddhist beads bracelet, and finally offered to buy it from him for 480,000 yuan!
Although the gambler always liked to brag and talk nonsense, that time was different from the past. He had received several million from the demolition compensation, and Ye Chen believed that he would definitely not brag about this.
For this reason, Ye Chen, who was deeply threatened by the anti-aircraft guns at the time, believed it without a doubt, and even secretly cursed the thief that God was unfair, why didn't such a good thing fall on his head, why did it fall to that bastard...
Ye Chen, who was so envious that his eyes turned purple, asked curiously what kind of Buddhist beads they were. Although the other party did not explain it clearly, he provided an extremely important piece of information, which was a bracelet made up of eighteen Buddhist beads. On each bead, there was an Arhat engraved. The eighteen Buddhist beads just corresponded to the eighteen Arhats!
Now that he has been reborn and returned to the past, Ye Chen feels that this is a great opportunity!
If you seize this opportunity, the 270,000 high-interest loan debt will be solved immediately!
But there is a problem, that is, he doesn't know when that gambler in his previous life got lucky...
But if you count the days, it shouldn't be that fast. After all, it was three days later that he boasted about finding a big bargain.
Based on Ye Chen's understanding of the other party, this kind of thing that can be shown off will definitely not be kept secret for long!
So most likely it will be these two days!
Although there was still a problem at this time, that is, the gambler had picked up the lottery with 30,000 yuan.
And now, his entire net worth is less than three thousand, so it is obviously impossible for him to pick it up...
However, he was not in a hurry to pick up the bargain right away. What he had to do was to find where the Buddhist beads bracelet was first. As long as he could identify which stall the Buddhist beads bracelet was on, it would be easy. After all, the sky-high tickets for tonight's concert were enough for him to accumulate the capital to pick up the bargain!
Otherwise, if you wait until tomorrow to look for it, the daylily will probably be cold by then!
Because that gambler is very likely to have found a bargain tomorrow!
"Boss, would you like to take a look at this Tongbao coin from the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty?"
"Hey, buddy, are you interested in this vase from the Qing dynasty? Give me a price and we'll talk!"
"Handsome guy, take a look at the stuff on my stall. They are all good stuff. See if you find anything that satisfies you!"
"Brother, it's early this morning. We don't want to make much money, we just want to start a business. I'm going to sell this Pixiu, which was blessed by a great monk during the Republic of China period, for your good fortune. I'll sell it for only three thousand. Do you want to take a look?"
When we walked into the antique city, it was early in the morning so there weren't many people coming and going looking for bargains.
So as soon as Ye Chen entered, he heard a lot of shouting.
It's not a storefront, but rather a series of stalls.
Even though many stalls were empty due to time constraints, the constant shouting made the antique city seem extremely lively.
However, Ye Chen sneered at the Tongbao coins from the Qianlong period, the vases in the princes' mansions, and the Pixiu that had been blessed by a high monk to bring good fortune.
With these things, is there any need to shout and sell them here?
Not to mention the super big pavilion who had accumulated 400 billion personal wealth in the late previous life.
Even Ye Chen, that bastard in his previous life who deserved to be killed a thousand times, didn't believe it.
Mainly because he has been cheated many times and summed up his experience!
Well, even if you can find a bargain in an antique city, it will definitely not be the kind of item that claims to be from a certain dynasty or from the residence of some prince or noble. As for lucky charms that can bring good fortune, that's even more nonsense.
These are just used to fool the newbies who are not experienced in the industry and have not been cheated many times!
When he came to each stall, Ye Chen would stop and then look at the items on the stall without saying a word.
After finding that the string of Buddhist beads he was looking for was not there, he moved on to the next stall!
In contrast, the stall owners gradually turned from their initial enthusiasm to annoyance, and almost expelled him directly!
After looking at more than twenty stalls, Ye Chen still hadn't found the Buddhist beads bracelet carved with the Eighteen Arhats.
But this did not affect his mentality. From morning to noon, nothing was achieved.
After running outside the antique city and having a quick, cheap lunch with bland soup, I returned to the antique city.
"Fuck, that idiot is back again!"
"Tsk tsk, look at his face, he almost wrote the words 'I'm going to pick up a bargain'!"
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw the stall owner two or three meters away pat his head.
"Fuck, how could I forget that thing!"
Immediately afterwards, the stall owner began to mutter to himself.
The next moment.
He unfolded the burlap bag beside him.
He took out a string of bronze Buddhist beads from it!
Swish!
In an instant, Ye Chen, who happened to catch a glimpse of this scene from the corner of his eye, felt his heart tighten!
Although it was several meters away, it was impossible to see whether the Eighteen Arhats were carved on the Buddhist beads.
But Ye Chen couldn't help but get excited!
