Text/Ding Kailin (Material/Xie An)
The man's name is Xie An, a native of Xiangyang, Hubei.
This man! As long as you have experienced earning a year's worth of money a day, you will never have the heart to go to work with peace of mind after that, and you only want to make a lot of money, and you don't look down on the salary you pay at work.
That's what Xie An is.
Xie An was originally an ordinary office worker, living a life day after day, although the days were a little boring, but he was finally stable and stable, finished a fixed job, and got a fixed salary.
This kind of uneventful life is also the envy of many people.
But they can live in a besieged city, and they don't know how comfortable they are in the besieged city.
Xie An sometimes watched others do business and make money, and said that he didn't yearn for others in his heart, which was false.
However, he did not have the courage to resign from the company, after all, he did not know what else he could do after resigning and leaving the company.
But just half a year ago, Xie An's peaceful days changed.
That day, Xie An was traveling in Luoyang, and he finally took a vacation, he ran out early to play, and one of his high school classmates invited Xie An to his house when he heard that he was traveling in Luoyang.
Xie An thought about it, they really hadn't seen each other for several years!
I agreed to the invitation of my old classmates.
Since he was going to be a guest, Xie An would not be empty-handed, after asking the specific address of his old classmate, he bought some gifts and rushed to his old classmate's house with large bags.
Xie An's old classmate's surname is Gu, and his name is Gu Feiyun.
He also looked at the circle of friends in the past two days, only to find out that Xie An was traveling in Luoyang, thinking that he hadn't seen him for many years, so he thought about inviting Xie An over to chat.
After learning the specific time when Xie An came to his house, he went to the supermarket early in the morning to buy vegetables and arrange lunch for lunch.
“咚咚咚……”。
Outside the door, there was a sudden knock.
"It's coming! Wait a minute".
Gu Feiyun, who was wandering around the kitchen, shouted, and then he took off his apron and came to the living room to open the door.
"Haha old Gu, long time no see".
Xie An saw Gu Feiyun behind the door and said with great joy.
Gu Feiyun was also very happy, he looked at Xie An, and said a little teasingly: "I haven't seen you for five or six years, you have gained weight again!" Or your job is easy, unlike me, who is so busy that my feet don't touch the ground and I am as thin as a monkey."
"By the way, I said I'll drive to the hotel to pick you up, you have to come by yourself, I thought you couldn't find a place!"
Xie An smiled when he heard Gu Feiyun say this.
He said, "Didn't you have to go to work yesterday?" I also happen to want to go shopping on the street, and you are not complicated here, just look at the mobile phone navigation and find it all the way! ”
"You still say that I, after so many years, you are as thin as a monkey, and I don't know that I think you have nothing to eat!"
As soon as the two met, they scolded each other.
However, I didn't see any displeasure in each other's eyes, and I think the two of them also know each other's temper, which was like this when they were studying before, and still is.
Gu Feiyun took all the gift boxes that Xie An had brought over, and muttered, "What are you buying?" So heavy? ”
Xie An saw that Gu Feiyun was a little big-hearted, and hurriedly said, "You can be careful, let me come, be careful of hurting my baby."
Xie An said as he took all the bags in Gu Feiyun's hand and put them away carefully, and then took out four or five boxes from them and said to Gu Feiyun: "These are all bought for you, and the other two are antiques that I bought."
Gu Feiyun still wanted to say that you came to buy some gifts, but when he heard that Xie An had bought an antique, he immediately swallowed these words.
He smiled and said, "Lao Xie, you still buy antiques?" Where did you buy it? Don't be fooled! ”
Xie An put everything behind the sofa, got up and said: "It doesn't matter, anyway, my thing is not worth much, I met an old man on the street, and saw that the bottles and cans he sold were very beautiful, so I spent money to buy them all!" ”
"You see, there are just a bunch of them, seven or eight bottles, although they are not very big, but they are beautiful and beautiful."
After that, Xie An picked up one of the bags, opened it, took out a small-bellied high-necked plum blossom vase about fifteen centimeters tall and handed it to Gu Feiyun next to him.
Gu Feiyun looked at it and didn't find anything peculiar, it was good-looking, but he couldn't understand whether it was true or not.
So he asked, "Lao Xie, how much did you spend on these things?" ”
After thinking about it, Xie An said: "It didn't cost much, these bottles cost a total of nine hundred yuan, an average of one hundred yuan, at the beginning the old man shouted for one thousand and five yuan, and went to say nine hundred, I didn't expect it to be true at this price, I just looked good, and bought it back as a souvenir."
Gu Feiyun heard him say this, and said with a wry smile: "Old Gu, although I don't know if these are true, but if you say that you are buying souvenirs, it will be a loss!" If you want to buy bottles and cans of souvenirs for 900 yuan, it's enough to buy a truckload."
When Xie An heard him say this, he didn't feel sorry, but said indifferently: "It's okay, that old man looks quite pitiful, I will treat it as a good deed!" ”
"What did you make so good?"
Halfway through Xie An's words, his nose suddenly sniffed, and he came all the way to the kitchen, Gu Feiyun saw this and said with a smile: "Chicken stewed mushrooms, you rest for a while, and it will be fine immediately."
When Xie An heard this, he sighed with emotion: "In the past, when we were studying in the county, you were good at your skills, and a few of our old classmates went to your rental house every day to eat, and now your skills have not diminished, I will taste it later."
"By the way, I won't tell you, I'm going to appreciate these treasures of mine, don't say it, when you understand the history, you will find the charm of these porcelain."
"I don't have the money to buy the real thing, if I have the money, I'll buy it really to see what is amazing."
Xie An said that, then turned around and returned to the living room, reached out and pulled the bag behind the sofa, picked up all the bottles and cans inside and put them on the coffee table, staring at these things for a moment.
Seeing this, Gu Feiyun shook his head with a wry smile.
He didn't expect that Xie An would be very interested in this kind of porcelain.
He was also very curious about these things when he first came to Luoyang, but later his friends told him that all kinds of porcelain and antiques peddled on the street were fake.
The real thing, there is not necessarily one out of 10,000 pieces.
These stalls do business, and the bottles and jars in their hands are all custom-made from those porcelain factories, and some of the objects that look old are actually old.
Not to mention these porcelain, even the ancient jade paintings are all old, basically all of them are tourist business, who goes back to buy these things from the locals?
These porcelain owners really have good things, and they will set up stalls on the streets? Waiting hard for a day just to earn you this hundred and eighty dollars?
However, then again, some niche antique markets do have good things, and some people who are new to this industry, or who don't understand them, may really have good things.
If you have eyesight, you might be able to pick up the slack.
However, this kind of luck, just listen to it.
One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, Xie An is willing to spend this money, as an old classmate, he doesn't have much to say, come out to travel! Just be happy, it doesn't cost anything.
Gu Feiyun was just about to wash the pot and stir-fry, when the doorbell rang again!
Gu Feiyun turned his head to Xie An in the living room and said, "Old Xie, help me open the door."
Xie An got up when he heard this, and when he opened it, he found that the person who came turned out to be a beautiful woman, and he said with some embarrassment: "Beauty, who are you looking for?" ”
Shen Qiu saw that it was not Gu Feiyun who opened the door, so he went back and looked at the house number, and said in a low voice: "It's not wrong!" ”
At this moment, Gu Feiyun, who was in the kitchen, immediately pounced when he saw someone coming, and said with some surprise: "Shen Qiu, why are you here?" ”
Xie An looked at the two of them, suddenly understood, chuckled and didn't speak.
Shen Qiu frowned when he heard this, and said unhappily: "What? I'm not welcome to come? ”
Gu Feiyun hurriedly said: "No, I didn't mean that, let me introduce you, this is my high school classmate Xie An, he came to Luoyang to travel to play with me, by the way, didn't you say you were going to your grandmother's house?" ”
Shen Qiu looked at Xie An and said with a smile: "Hello."
After that, she replied: "My mother and they didn't go again!" I'm bored and come to talk to you."
Xie An felt that he had disturbed Gu Feiyun by himself! He couldn't have come at the right time!
I could only respond awkwardly: "Hello".
When Gu Feiyun heard this, he nodded and said, "You came just in time, we are about to eat!" ”
"You take a break first, and you'll be fine in no time."
Shen Qiu was not polite, and ran directly towards the sofa after entering the house.
Seeing this, Xie An approached Gu Feiyun and said, "Old Gu, it's not appropriate for me to come here!" If I had known, I would have come two days late."
After speaking, he looked at Gu Feiyun with a wicked smile.
Seeing this, Gu Feiyun pursed his lips and said, "What are you kid thinking?" It's not what you think."
"Forget it, don't talk nonsense with you, there's still a pot on the stove!"
Gu Feiyun said that, he wanted to turn around and go to the kitchen to continue stir-frying.
At this moment, Shen Qiu, who had just passed, suddenly shouted and shouted in surprise: "Feiyun, when did you buy these bottles and cans, you are too lucky, right?" Two of them are true."
Hearing this, Gu Feiyun turned his head to glance at Xie An next to him, walked quickly to Shen Qiu's side and asked, "What did you mean by what you just said?" What really? ”
Shen Qiu picked up a short-necked blue and white plum vase and said, "That's it!" This thing is real, didn't you not touch these things before? I haven't seen you buy it either."
When Gu Feiyun heard this, he asked in disbelief: "Xiaoqiu, what are you talking nonsense?" How did I not know you would do this, you can understand these things? ”
When Shen Qiu heard this, he pouted and said, "You don't know much!" I knew you didn't know me, it was so sad! ”
Seeing this, Gu Feiyun had no choice but to coax and say, "You haven't told me again, how do I know that you understand this?" ”
As he spoke, he whispered in Shen Qiu's ear, "My old classmate is here!" Give me a little bit of face."
"Is this thing real? How can you tell? ”
When Shen Qiu heard this, he immediately straightened his emotions.
She said: "My grandfather is a professional worker, to be precise, the master who appraisals things for others, he is very knowledgeable!" When I was younger, I used to learn from him a lot, and I naturally knew a little bit about it."
"You didn't tell me where you got this thing?"
When Gu Feiyun heard this, he had some doubts in his heart, how could he not know that Shen Qiu's grandfather was doing this, wasn't her grandfather a university professor?
Puzzled, he still said: "These things are not mine, they belong to my old classmate, he went to the antique market yesterday and bought them for a few hundred yuan on the side of the road."
When Shen Qiu heard this, he immediately turned his head to Xie An and said: "Brother, your luck is really good, my eyesight is limited, although I can't see how much these things are worth, but I can see that at least three things in it are true, for example, the one I took is called the blue and white short-necked plum pattern bottle, which is something from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, you are spending a little money to pick up a big leak!"
"Brother, I suggest you take the rest of the things to be appraised, in case the value is high, you can send it!"
Xie An was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that some of the souvenirs he bought for hundreds of yuan were real.
If it's really an antique, then it's gone!
Shen Qiu's words made his heart pound.
Gu Feiyun shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Let's not talk about this yet!" You've come just in time, I'm almost ready, so you can eat a little before you go."
Shen Qiu was not polite, he sat on the sofa with a big grin, waved his hand and said, "You go cook, I'll take a look."
Xie An saw that Shen Qiu had some insight, so he asked shamelessly.
Under the explanation of the other party, he gained a lot.
Later, Shen Qiu saw that Xie An intended to sell these things, so he packed the ticket for his contact, and she said that one of his uncles knew the boss in this area, and he could contact the other party to see if he could accept it.
Xie An was overjoyed when he heard this, isn't this a coincidence?
Later, under the introduction of Gu Feiyun's friend, Xie An got acquainted with an antique shop owner, and after he showed this pile of things to the other party, to Xie An's surprise, one of the small plum bottles was worth as much as 150,000 yuan.
A bunch of bottles and cans made him sell for 180,000 yuan.
This is something he bought for a few hundred yuan, and it sold his salary for more than three years as soon as it changed hands, which made Xie An taste the sweetness of this industry.
After the tour, he resigned directly and did not work, and specifically found a place to learn appraisal, and there was a lot of growth in a few months.
Thinking that he had already graduated from school, he was ambitious and planned to make a career out of it, as long as he got a few good things, he would definitely realize his dream in less than two years.
However, what Xie An didn't know was that the reason why he was able to make money last time was actually luck and was missed by him.
How can there be so many genuine products in this world? How can there be so many leaks for him to pick up?
Isn't it a fantasy to come out and pick up the leaks if you want to learn some knowledge?
Gu Feiyun wanted to persuade him, but Xie An was also stubborn.
The results are obvious.
Xie An tossed for two months, he thought he had received something good, but he didn't expect to be tricked by others, not only did he lose all the money he earned half a year ago, but even his savings for many years were swallowed up.
In less than two months, Xie An also woke up with money.
Now his job is gone, his savings are gone, and all he has harvested are dozens of bottles and cans, all of which are fakes, and none of them are real.
The antique industry pays attention to an eye and knowledge, without a certain vision and knowledge, it is not easy to distinguish the real from the fake.
There are so many antiques in the antique market, almost nine out of ten are fake, and it is almost impossible to find something real from them.
If Xie An could realize this, he would not have fallen to this point, in order to make money, he quit his job and stepped into the unknown, this approach is wrong.
Therefore, you still have to be down-to-earth, and don't think about getting rich at one time.
Maybe you're a little luckier sometimes, but that's not sustainable.
Don't be blinded by temporary luck, it's better to work steadfastly, even if you learn a little bit of technology.
Do you think that's the truth?
