Fatty Dai followed Lai Wen wherever he went. Xu Yun smiled slightly and whispered to Lai Wen, "Boss, this person …"
"This is a wicked person." Lai Wen shook his head and didn't care if his voice was heard by Fatty Dai, "I have been in the antique market for so many years, and the best thing I have encountered is this weirdo."
Xu Yun laughed twice, "Do you want to teach him a lesson later?"
"If he does something wrong, then teach him a lesson." Lai Wen didn't mean to be polite, "But this guy has a characteristic. He is thick-skinned, and the things he does make you have no reason to teach him a lesson directly."
"If I want to teach him a lesson, do I need any reason?" Xu Yun, "I just don't like him."
Lai Wen was stunned. He didn't expect that Xu Yun was sometimes more talented than him in "being unreasonable".
"What's your plan?" Lai Wen asked.
Xu Yun looked not far away, "In the car over there, there is an old man who has been looking over here. Who is he to Fatty Dai? "
Lai Wen looked over and was slightly stunned, "That is indeed Fatty Dai's car. I didn't expect Fatty Dai to invite an identification expert."
"Doesn't he understand?" Xu Yun asked.
"Fatty Dai is only someone who knows the surface of things. He doesn't know if he understands or doesn't know." Lai Wen said, "If he feels that something is not bad, he will compete with me when he sees that I also have an idea. But this is the first time I have seen him bring an identification expert. "
Xu Yun had an idea and nodded, "If Boss Dai wants to teach him a lesson, I have a way now."
Lai Wen's eyes lit up, "Say it."
"Since he likes to bid with Boss Lai, then Boss Lai can find something that is easy to notice and deliberately give a high price." Xu Yun smiled slightly.
"What if he doesn't bid with me?" Lai Wen was stunned.
Xu Yun trusted Lai Wen and said, "This depends on Boss Lai's ability to see the goods. I don't know what is the most eye-catching thing, but you do."
Lai Wen nodded in realization. Indeed, he could see that some things were worthless, but some people couldn't.
The 'country bumpkins' were very shrewd when it came to dealing with the goods. They didn't set a price and let the buyer pay the price.
If they felt that it was appropriate, they would make a move. If they felt that it was inappropriate, they would stay.
Therefore, the people who scouted for goods had to be clear about the market. The more accurate the appraisal of an item, the more money they could make.
For example, if a 'country bumpkin' thought that something was worth 10,000 yuan, they would definitely not sell it if you offered 9,000 yuan. If you offered 20,000 yuan, they would not refund the extra 10,000 yuan.
If you give them 10,000 yuan, it's exactly the price they want, and they'll make a move.
Therefore, estimating the price was very important.
For Lai Wen, who had worked as a gravedigger and spent every day in the antique collecting world, this was not a difficult task.
"Okay, I got it." Lai Wen nodded.
Eye-Catching was a common occurrence in the collecting circle. Even the veterans couldn't avoid it. Although the 'country bumpkins' were well-known throughout the country, they wouldn't not fake. Lai Wen knew this very well, because with his experience, he could see some fake goods.
Whether eye-catching would happen or not was often decided in the minute before the transaction.
Although the moment was short, it tested the collector's mentality, psychological quality, experience, and many other things. Often, it was the mentality that determined whether the collector would choose to gamble in the case of uncertainty.
After all, appraisal was a kind of eye study. It was a comparison, elimination, and arrangement. When one had enough experience, the certainty of buying the real thing would be greater.
When one didn't have enough experience in collecting and encountered something that couldn't be interpreted with one's experience and knowledge, one thought that the opportunity didn't wait for anyone. Once one missed it, it would be gone. Then, one had to gamble. The result of this gamble was often eye-catching.
Many people were like this. They could not understand, but they had to buy it. After buying it, they would look for someone to read the book. When they found that they had bought the wrong book, they would throw it under the bed.
Don't think that the collection army of Hua Xia had tens of millions of people, which was far more than the counterfeiters.
However, the behavior of collecting was an individual behavior. That was to say, when a collector carried out a sale in the market, he was actually facing a huge group of counterfeiters alone. It was like a game.
No matter how broad a collector's vision was, there were blind spots that he couldn't see.
In most cases, people who encountered eye-catching would have an imbalance in their mentality and longed to become rich overnight. Most of the sellers in the collection market aimed at this mentality. Those various versions of magical stories were also used to stir the nerves of collectors. Once the string of becoming rich overnight was stirred, then the collector would definitely be trapped.
In fact, in the collecting circle, many people pretended to know when they didn't know. They obviously didn't know, but they pretended to know very well. The seller led the collector with the momentum. The collector also climbed the slope, feeling complacent and relaxed his vigilance.
Buyers who really knew the business often pretended not to know. How could they pretend to know?
Fatty Dai brought an appraisal expert this time. Obviously, he had been eye-catching recently.
Fatty Dai was very vain. Lai Wen knew this very well. This was Fatty Dai's weakness.
If you wanted to collect, you had to have a calm heart. Vanity was absolutely unacceptable. Lai Wen knew the truth of this very well.
It was useless to bring an appraisal expert. If you didn't want to be eye-catching, then don't enter the circle of antique collectors. No one who entered this circle would not be eye-catching.
So what if they were experts?
They had been doing research in this field for a lifetime. They had knowledge, standards, identity, and status! Awesome!
However, as a scientific researcher, their understanding of the market was far less than their academic understanding!
Especially if they didn't understand the market counterfeiting! They would also lose if they used their academic attainments to confront the counterfeiters.
The reason was very simple. Their research results were also used by the counterfeiters to deceive the researchers.
Researchers, due to their lack of standards and market experience, were easily fooled by a story and were easily tricked. They didn't know how to look at things objectively. Their judgments were too subjective.
Once they were subjective, they were not far from being eye-catching.
It was not a problem for Lai Wen to fool Fatty Dai and the expert.
It was not difficult at all to find a fake object that could lead the academic to be fooled.
"Hei Ji, it's almost time. Shouldn't you take out any good things to show us?" After Lai Wen made the decision, he walked in front of the dark and skinny guy again.
Hei Ji, the leader of these "country bumpkins," was a senior grave robber.
Seeing that the big boss had already arrived, Hei Ji felt that there was no need to wait any longer. He smiled and said, "Since Boss Lai wants to see the goods, then let's start."
At this time, more than a dozen bosses who came to Taobao gathered around.
Fatty Dai sneered, "Aiyaya, Boss Lai's face is big. Hei Ji, are you looking down on us?"
Hei Ji smiled, "Boss Dai, don't say that. It's time now. Even if Boss Lai doesn't come, we should start."
"Okay, cut the crap. Let Boss Lai see if there is anything good!" Fatty Dai grinned and thought that he must fight with Lai Wen this time.
He wanted to make Lai Wen feel uncomfortable. He didn't know why, but Fatty Dai was so annoying.
"Don't worry, there will be good things to satisfy you today." Hei Ji said as he asked people to start taking the "treasures" out of the car.
There were quite a few priceless items in this simple and crude trading center.
Xu Yun came to this kind of place for the first time. To be honest, he was really curious.
